Puppet: Article Text

[[File:Kankurō.png|thumb|Kankurō in Part II with his three puppets.]]
<section begin=summary />{{translation|'''Puppets'''|傀儡|Kugutsu}} are used as weapons by [[Puppet Technique|puppeteers]]. They are most often humanoid-looking creations, but depending on the creator, can resemble anything. They are fashioned in a manner that uses every part as a weapon, giving the puppeteer a myriad of ways to manipulate it. Puppets are long-ranged type weapons that can be used offensively, defensively or for supplementary reasons, and are controlled via [[Chakra Threads]]. Because of their design, the weak point of any puppet is its joints. There are two types of puppets: ones made from material such as wood, and [[Human Puppet]]s. Famed puppeteer [[Sasori of the Red Sand]] was the inventor of human puppets and also created a puppet which he wore like armour, bypassing the usual disadvantage that puppeteers had of being weak in close-ranged combat. Puppets are often sealed within scrolls using [[Generic Sealing Technique|fūinjutsu]], for ease of transport.<section end=summary />

=== Hiruko ===
{{See also|Hiruko}}
{{translation|'''Hiruko'''|ヒルコ|Hiruko}} was one of [[Sasori]]'s favourite puppets, which he adorned with the regular Akatsuki outfit and wore so often that others came to recognise him only while he was wearing it. He even has a deeper and gruffer voice while wearing it. The reason for using this puppet so much was not just for its powerful offensive abilities, but also for its high defensive properties. Hiruko has a mechanical tail extending from the mouth of what appears to be a mask on his back, a recent addition to add extra defence to a weak point. The left arm is rigged with a projectile launcher capable of firing shrapnel, and the mouth serves as a similar projectile-firing device. In the anime, Hiruko is said to be a [[human puppet]].

=== Third Kazekage ===
{{See also|Third Kazekage (puppet)}}
The {{translation|'''Third Kazekage'''|三代目風影|Sandaime Kazekage}} was Sasori's favourite [[Human Puppet]] due to the difficult time he had acquiring it. Several decades before the start of the series, the Third Kazekage was kidnapped and killed by Sasori. Sasori then turned him into a human puppet. The Third Kazekage's right arm was equipped with multiple poison dipped blades, where his left arm was equipped with a special summoning technique that summoned a mass amount of puppet arms. Some of these puppet arms expelled poison, while others shot out kunai with ropes tied to them to tie up opponents. However, this puppet's most deadly capabilities is the [[Iron Sand]], which was a [[Magnet Release|special ability]] passed down from the Third Kazekage when he was alive. The sand being soaked in poison, this increases the deadliness of the already frightening iron powder manipulating abilities.

=== Mother and Father ===
{{See also|Mother and Father}}
The first puppets Sasori created were in the likeness of [[Sasori's Father|his]] [[Sasori's Mother|parents]], in the hopes of finding parental love. As the puppets were not real living life forms, this effort failed, and Sasori abandoned them. Chiyo kept them and modified them for combat purposes, and used them against their creator. In battle, both puppets are armed with a [[Mechanical Light Shield Block]] and cutting steel wires that link the two puppets together. Mother also carried a katana, while Father carried a kunai-studded chain-whip.

=== Scorpion ===
{{See also|Scorpion}}
'''Sasori''', although thirty-five years old, maintains the appearance of a teenage boy. Sasori's unnaturally young appearance is a product of his design: most of his body is actually a puppet. In place of his stomach is a thick cable coiled around a pole, allowing Sasori to use it as a stinger and retract it as necessary. Attached to his back is a scroll holder, which Sasori uses to store his human puppets. Sasori also added a pair of arms to his back, each equipped with five large claws, as well as flame-throwers to each of his hands. Installed in his right chest is a mechanism that can spin numerous [[chakra]] strings, allowing Sasori to control hundreds of puppets at once and giving him a drastic advantage over all other puppeteers. Sasori's left chest holds the only part of him still human and thus capable of controlling chakra, a cylinder-shaped device containing his core. Written on the cylinder is the kanji for "scorpion". Upon being retrieved by Kankurō, Sasori's body was modified removing his core. Kankurō has also seemingly added a blade launching system for use in his [[Red Secret Technique Machinery Triangles]].

=== The Chikamatsu Collection of Ten Puppets ===
{{See also|Chikamatsu Collection}}
The '''Chikamatsu Collection''' was created by the first puppet master, [[Monzaemon Chikamatsu]]. They later came into Chiyo's possession. They were designed to work together for devastating capabilities, and were designed to be much stronger than normal puppets. They are capable of taking down an entire castle when used by the right puppeteer.

=== Sasori's Hundred Puppet Army ===
{{See also|Hundred Puppet Army}}
The '''One Hundred Puppets''' used by [[Sasori]] are said to be able to take down an entire country. Each one is an opponent defeated and converted into a [[human puppet]], specifically chosen from his collection of 298 of such puppets, being adorned with special red clothing. Due to Sasori converting himself into a puppet, he has a special mechanism that allows him to control one hundred puppets. Though they lack teamwork, they use sheer attrition to wear down the opposition.
