Users Sasori

To begin this jutsu, Sasori removes one summoning scroll from his back. He then opens his right chest compartment to emit one hundred chakra strings, which reach into the scroll. From the scroll, one hundred puppets emerge.

As even the most elite of puppeteers cannot control more than ten puppets a time (one per finger), this technique is proof of Sasori's superiority with regard to the Puppet Technique. Also, normally a puppet's movement is dependent on the will of the user, and as such there will be a time lag between the user's commands and the puppet's response. However, since these hundred puppets are directly connected to Sasori's core, there is no time lag between Sasori's will and the puppets' movements.

Sasori claimed that he had brought down an entire country with this jutsu. Many of the puppets, however, were destroyed during Sasori's battle with Chiyo and Sakura Haruno, although they did manage to destroy some of Chiyo's puppets. While these one hundred puppets lacked teamwork, they apparently used sheer attrition to wear down their opponents.
