Naruto

Sasori, also known as Sasori of the Red Sand, was a prominent antagonist in the Naruto series. He was a highly skilled shinobi from Sunagakure, renowned for his mastery of puppet techniques.

Driven by a deep-seated loneliness stemming from the loss of his parents, Sasori turned to puppetry as a means of filling the void. He initially created puppets resembling his parents, but his pursuit of immortality and artistic perfection led him down a darker path.

Sasori defected from Sunagakure and joined Akatsuki, becoming a powerful and dangerous member. He replaced large portions of his own body with puppet mechanisms, eventually transforming himself almost entirely into a puppet. His signature puppet was Hiruko, which he used as armor and a means of stealth.

During his time in Akatsuki, Sasori partnered with Deidara. He was ultimately defeated and killed by his grandmother, Chiyo, and Sakura Haruno in a fierce battle showcasing his extensive puppet arsenal, including his powerful puppet rendition of the Third Kazekage.
