White Secret Technique: The Chikamatsu Collection of Ten Puppets

These ten puppets were created by the inventor of the Puppet Technique, Monzaemon Chikamatsu. They later came into Chiyo's possession. To use the puppets, Chiyo first released them from their carrying scroll and then controlled each with a chakra string connected to one of her ten fingers. This ability to control ten puppets at once earned Chiyo great fame. They all wear white cloaks with high collars.

Puppets
These puppets are very powerful, as Sasori claimed that there were rumours that Chiyo had taken down an entire castle with them. With this puppet collection it is literally possible to use "one puppet with each finger", each of them boasting a great amount of power. However, using all of their secret mechanisms demands extremely high class expertise and skill. The Chikamatsu Collection has terrifying prowess in taijutsu, ninjutsu, projectile weapons, and so on. Furthermore, as they can change their numbers by combining, the number of abilities they can show becomes even greater. They were capable of countering Sasori's Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets, due in great part to their ability to work together. However, as their numbers decrease, they become less dangerous, unlike Sasori's puppets, which became more dangerous, even when their numbers decrease. Due to this, Sasori was able to overwhelm Chiyo in the end. This collection consisted of:


 * 1) A puppet that somewhat resembled an "oni" (demon). Though it displayed no weaponry or hidden mechanisms, it had huge fists and immense striking power which Chiyo used to fend off attackers. It always kept closer to Chiyo in case it was needed as defence while she operated the other puppets.
 * 2) This puppet had grey markings around its mouth area and hair coming from a single point on its head. It was shown to have colossal fists and fierce taijutsu skills. In the anime was able to extend its arms to form a sort of cage to trap opponents, where it would then launch four small bombs from its mouth. Since the explosion was accurate and very small, it dealt a great amount of damage to enemies whilst not damaging the cage.
 * 3) Another puppet was red with white hair. It was used in conjunction with the black-haired puppet. It is able to lift its face to reveal a spinning orb with four chakra blades. Since these blades are made of chakra and spin rapidly, even a scrape can prove deadly.It is then wielded like a weapon by its partner.
 * 4) This puppet had long, black hair and works in conjunction with the red puppet. It is able to extend its hand via a chain link before connecting with its partner which it hurls around, thus being able to slice through targets quickly and effectively. However, if one were to be destroyed, the other would become vulnerable.
 * 5) A bald puppet with large holes in its skull. This puppet's hidden weapons are the long extending cords coiled in its skull that can pierce numerous enemies at a time. Since the range is very long, it can pierce distant targets without even getting close. Also, it is able to latch onto opponents with its cords and then crumble them slowly. It can also use taijutsu to fight, but lacks brute force.
 * 6) This puppet had spiky hair and the lower half of its face was green in colour. It had the kanji for  in its mouth which activated the Three Jewels Suction Crushing technique when used in conjunction with the Dharma and Sangha puppets. The Three Jewels Suction Crushing technique uses these three puppets to form a pyramid with a small space at the centre. Prior to activation, Chiyo and the three puppets would form the tiger hand seal that would then open a powerful vacuum sucking in anything within the immediate area. However, the vacuum is prone to overloading.
 * 7) This was another large puppet with red markings under its eyes and the kanji for  in its mouth, and worked with the Buddha and Sangha puppets to use the Three Jewels Suction Crushing technique.
 * 8) This puppet had white hair and large sideburns with the kanji for  in its mouth, and worked in conjunction with the Buddha and Dharma puppets to use the Three Jewels Suction Crushing technique.
 * 9) This puppet was modelled after a female with red hair tied into buns. It wielded two large, broad-swords and was capable of cleaving through enemies with ease, although the sheer size of the weapons reduced the puppet's dexterity somewhat. This puppet was one of the main attacker, and could fend off even the strongest of enemies at an alarming rate.
 * 10) The final puppet had one eye, and was capable of releasing an orb from its mouth used for the Sealing Technique: Lion Closing Roar.
