Human Puppet

A technique developed by Sasori during his time in Sunagakure, this allows him to create puppets from human corpses. As Sasori was the only person to know how to create human puppets, this technique became lost when he died.

By removing the internal organs of a foe and preserving the body to prevent decomposition, as well as adding weapons and defences, Sasori can make powerful human puppets. These puppets are different from normal ones, as they retain their use of chakra and any kekkei genkai that the human host once had.

Known Human Puppets

 * Hiruko: Once a great shinobi of Sunagakure, now a deadly puppet worn like a battle armour. In the manga, Hiruko is just an ordinary puppet.
 * Third Kazekage: The greatest Kazekage in history, kidnapped and killed by Sasori to gain use of the Iron Sand techniques.
 * Komushi: A childhood friend of Sasori's. It is impilied that Komushi had been amongst Sasori's first puppets in the anime.

Trivia

 * In the anime, two puppets from Sasori's hundred puppet army are seen with Sharingan, leading to the inference that they were human puppets.
