Poison is an intoxicating substance that is used in combat. Poisons come with a variety of effects from body weakness, paralysis or death.

Types
There are different types of poison, some more effective than others. For example, Sasori has developed a poison that even if a small amount is put in the body the will be subject to death within three days. Tsunade has also been noted by Jiraiya to be the only person capable of poisoning a ninja without their knowing.

Insects
There are several insects that use poison in their attacks.

Nano Bugs
Torune and Shikuro Aburame can subsequently infect the opponent with these bugs, causing an excruciatingly painful and likely fatal injury, unless the afflicted area is swiftly removed. However, there is in fact an antidote, but only Shikuro Aburame knows how to make such an antidote.

Moths
Fuen first uses poison that is thin and tiny enough to be taken in the air. Her target will inhale the poison and start to see the things that Fuen chooses, like caves, moths, or allies of the target trying to kill the target. The moths in this technique in fact scatter poison.

Usage
Most poison users use poison through weapons. For example, Sakura puts poison on her kunais so that if she is able to cut the target with the kunai, he is instantly injected with her poison. Puppet users, such as Chiyo, Kankuro and Sasori, prefer to put poison inside their puppets so that they can activate it when they are in need. Sasori, similarly to Sakura, puts poison that is clearly noticeable on the blades of his puppet, the Third Kazekage, as well as his Iron Sand.

Poison may be used in other forms, not only as a liquid substance. It can be used in a mist form, as demonstrated by Shizune, when she used her Poison Mist technique. Inhaling the slightest bit of poison mist can proove fatal, as seen when Sasori trapped Sakura in his poison mist.
