Info: Sasori (meaning scorpion) traveled with
Deidara from Hidden Rock. He was a legendary puppet master from Hidden Sand who
left his village approximately 20 years before the start of the series. Sasori
converted portions of his body into puppet parts, retaining a flesh and blood
portion of his original self in a chest container. He used the
"hitokugutsu" method to turn people into puppets while still alive,
allowing him to use their jutsu even after their "death." He fell in
battle to Chiyo and Sakura, hesitating to not avoid the lethal strike of his
parents who had been made into puppets. He was later resurrected using Kabuto's
Edo Tensei jutsu and neutralized, eventually reaching peace which freed his
soul for good.First Anime Appearance: Shippuuden Ep. 2
Hidden Village: Sand
Ring: Tama (Sphere)
Finger Position: Left Thumb
Current Status: Deceased
As a child from the Sand village, his parents were
killed during the war between the Sand and Leaf villages byKakashi's father, Sakumo. After
this his grandmother Chiyo took
care of him, not telling him that his parents died... and he waited for them to
return. Knowing of his depression, she decided to teach Sasori puppetry. His
skill rapidly improved despite his young age and Chiyo allowed him to use her
workshop to create his own puppets, the puppets he made were perfect copies of
his parents with which he acted out daily routines with as if they were alive.
He would develop a hatred of waiting and making others wait.
Hiruko
20 years before the start of the Naruto series,
Sasori left the Sand village. Before that however he became well known for his
ability to create "human puppets," puppets that were made from the
bodies of his enemies that he was able to preserve. What made these puppets so
dangerous was not only the weapons and traps that were built into them like any
other puppet, but they retained their chakra and techniques which Sasori could
make use of. His most used human-puppet was Hiruko. A Puppet master's weakness
is that they are left vulnerable while controlling their puppets, so Sasori
specifically made Hiruko as both a weapon and a suit of armor.
After he left the Sand village, he would both destroy
an entire village and join Akatsuki.
Most Feared Weapon
He would fight Kankuro, a young puppet
master from the Sand village. Though Kankuro was skilled, Sasori was an expert
and Kankuro succumbed to Sasori's poison. Sasori would then fight the combined
might of his puppet-master grandmother andSakura. He fought them
first inside of Hiruko, in which they realized that Sasori has a tendency to
cover every edge found on his puppets with poison, making even a scratch
potentially lethal. Sakura's great strength that she gained under the training
of Tsunade was
able to crush the Hiruko puppet, causing Sasori to find safer ground. He then
not only awed his grandmother by revealing the fact that he still looks like a
teenager after 20 years, but that he had the missing The Third
Kazekage as his most prized human-puppet.
Despite some close calls, Sakura was able to survive
most of the Kazekage's traps and posions, at which point Chiyo summoned her
puppets to help battle Sasori, the puppet replicas of Sasori's parents. They
were effective for a bit and managed to remove many of the 3rd Kazekage's
weapons and traps until Sasori started using the 3rd Kazekage's infamous
"Iron Sand" techniques, which used to immobilize the puppets of his
parents.
World Order
The iron sand would result in a lot of trouble for
Sakura, especially since that too was laced in poison, but she was thankfully
being partially controlled by Chiyo which allowed her to avoid things that she
could not avoid on her own. After a very close call from one of the 3rd
Kazekage's most dangerous iron sand techniques, "World Method,"
Sakura was able to destroy the 3rd Kazekage puppet and put an end to the threat
of the iron sand.
Living Puppet
Sasori then revealed the secret to his youth, he
turned almost all of himself into a human-puppet... and a very dangerous one at
that, armed with built-in flamethrowers and high-pressurized water jets that
were able to slice through stone. He went on to use his abdominal
"tail" to injure Sakura and thrust himself towards his grandmother to
kill her with his buzz saws on his back, but was stopped by Sakura's amazing
strength which ultimately caused him to fall apart... but he was able to pull
himself back together. Chiyo then summoned 10 puppets created by the first
puppet-master, Monzaemon.
Red Performance
Sasori retaliated by using one of the unique
modifications he was able to add to his puppet body, the ability to control 100
puppets. Unfortunately Sasori went for quantity over quality and summoned more
then he could properly control, but he was able to gain more control over the
remaining ones that weren't destroyed, ultimately gaining the advantage. Sakura
used an item from one of Chiyo's puppets that allowed her to seal Sasori's
body, making him unable to use his chakra... however Sasori was able to escape
by sending the plug on his chest to another puppet.
His Peace
Sasori in the new puppet body snuck up behind his
grandmother and was about to kill her, but Sakura jumped in the way of the
blade. Chiyo then used the opportunity to use the puppets of Sasori's parents
to stab him through the plug. This plug she realized was the only part of
Sasori that was alive... it was a container that held his heart. Knowing he was
dying, he gave Sakura and Chiyo a reward for defeating him, knowledge on where
to meet his subordinate whom he had spying onOrochimaru. Chiyo
would later comment after Sasori's death that he saw her attack coming, but did
nothing to avoid it.
Used by Kankuro
Since then Sasori's body was found by Kankuro which
he uses as his new puppet, and has been training with it to learn it's
abilities. He first revealed it at the Kage summit using one of Sasori's hidden
mechanics, shooting a hail of blades connected to bombs. Later revealed is a
chakra shield mounted on the right arm, and the left hand can extend with a
cable.
At it Again
Sasori was resurrected by Kabuto, along with Deidara,
Shin, and Chukichi to be used as an ambush squad and sent them out ahead. They
attacked Anko's squad
that they caught lurking around Madara's lair and Sasori took control of them
as his living puppets, including an Aburame, after Deidara weakened them with
his bombs. They then encountered the alliance's ambush squad composed of
Kankuro, Omoi, Sai,
Ittan, Tango, Saji, Hoheto Hyuuga, and Kiri. Sasori sent in the Aburame to get
the drop on the squad, using his insects to jam their sensors. Saji went to
help him but he told Saji to get away, it was revealed that Deidara hid his
exploding clay with the Aburame and detonated it, Kankuro managed to save Saji
but not the Aburame and Ittan used an Earth jutsu to protect everyone. Sasori
had the sent in the other living puppets and Omoi fought them off. Shin
attacked, but Sai pounced on him and broke his neck, but it couldn't kill the
undead Shin and Sai was shocked to see him.
Fighting Himself
Shin and Sai fought while Omoi went after Deidara,
Sasori used his living puppets to attack Omoi, but he cut Sasori's chakra
strings and Kankuro used his chakra strings to snare Sasori's chakra strings
and pull him out of his hiding place and landed on Deidara. Sasori was
impressed by Kankuro's skill, and then Kankuro then revealed that he's using
Sasori's old body. Sasori remarked that he now has a body is now eternal and will
never rot, what he always wanted. Sasori took control of Shin and sent him to
attack, but Kankuro fought him with Sasori's body and Omoi jumped in to help,
Sasori pulled Shin away and Deidara was going to activate his bomb that he put
inside of Shin, but Kankuro contained Shin inside his Salamander puppet; but it
was destroyed and Shin regenerated. Sai then used his 3D drawings to attack
Sasori and Deidara from behind and sent them flying, Kankuro revealed two Black
Ants and two Crows to trap them and impale them. Deidara was going to blow his
way out, but Omoi stabbed him with his lightning-infused sword to stop him.
Kankuro then lectured Sasori, saying that his strength came from the soul he
was trying to get rid of, and that it was his heart and soul that he put into
his puppets that made them lasting, and said that Sasori has now let himself
become a lifeless puppet being used by someone else. As Sasori listened to
this, Shin's encounter with Sai put his soul to rest and he crumbled.
Appearance & Characteristics
Sasori never looked to enthusiastic, and was not
bloodthirsty like some of the members of the Akatsuki were. He took everything
in a very serious manner, and did not agree with his partner, Deidara, on
nearly anything. His hair was shown to be a dark red color, and his eyes looked
as though he was always sleepy. However, this could easily be explained by the
fact that he wasn't actually human after turning himself into his own master
creation. He was obviously respected when it came to being a member of the
Akatsuki itself, as none of the members ever questioned his actions when he was
alive. Like the rest of the Akatsuki members, he wore the red cloud patterned
cloaks that all the Akatsuki members wore. All in all, I count Sasori as being
somewhat of a mixture between Gaara and Itachi as a character. Later he betrays
his grandmother Chiyo and is in a battle with Sakura to save Naruto from
Sasori.
