Sasori Naruto - Sasori is one of the Sunagakure Shinobi who excels in using the Kugutsu No Jutsu technique, also known as the ability to control puppets. Sasori is also a member of the Akatsuki. Here are 7 facts about Sasori in Naruto:
Killing the Third Kazekage
Sasori, a Sunagakure Shinobi considered dangerous and a target, especially for what he did to the Sunagakure village. Sasori is the one who killed the Third Kazekage, even making the Kazekage one of his main puppets in battles against enemies using the Kugutsu No Jutsu.
Self-Modification
Known as a puppetry expert with the ability to control puppets, Sasori not only uses puppets for the Kugutsu No Jutsu technique but also modifies his own body to become a puppet. This is why Sasori's appearance has not changed since he killed the Sunagakure Kazekage.
Admirer of Monzaemon Chikamatsu
The creator of the puppetry fighting technique is Monzaemon Chikamatsu, and Sasori highly idolizes him, although it has not been shown in the story so far. Sasori is a devoted fan of Chikamatsu, who is also a puppetry expert, and even hopes to fight against him.
Komushi, Sasori's First Human Puppet
While still in the Suna village, Sasori had a friend named Komushi who lost his hands. Sasori created fake hands for Komushi, but unfortunately, he died due to poisoning. Sasori then turned Komushi into a human puppet.
Red Sand Nickname
Red Sand is the nickname given to Sasori. This nickname is not just a title but also reflects Sasori's terrifying nature. Sasori participated in the Third Shinobi World War, where many enemy Shinobi died from the Kugutsu No Jutsu, causing a lot of blood to be spilled on the sand.
Ability to Control 100 Puppets
As a Shinobi using the Kugutsu No Jutsu in battles, Sasori is highly skilled in controlling puppets to fight his enemies. Sasori even succeeded in controlling 100 puppets on his own. This is an extraordinary achievement for Sasori, as controlling so many puppets alone is extremely challenging.
Used by Kankuro
After Sasori's death at the hands of Chiyo and Sakura, Kankuro took Sasori's modified puppet body. Kankuro even used Sasori's puppet in his battles against enemies. Interestingly, Kankuro once fought against a revived Sasori using Edo Tensei using the puppet that he had previously modified.
