Sunagakure is one of the great ninja villages in Naruto. The village is known for having formidable shinobi and distinctive fighting styles, especially those of kugutsu or puppet masters such as Kankuro and Granny Chiyo. The puppets are usually equipped with lethal weapons and can be controlled remotely.
Well, in this article, we want to discuss the list of the strongest kugutsu puppets in the story. Come on, let's just discuss the following.
10. Komushi
Komushi is a shinobi from Sunagakure who is Sasori's only friend. He died in an incident after he was accidentally exposed to a deadly poison from Sasori, but many suspect that Sasori was the one responsible for Komushi's death.
Sasori uses Komushi's dead body as a puppet. Because of that, Komushi was the first human puppet created by Sasori. However, the main abilities of these dolls are not explored further in the story.
9. Shansouo
Shansouo aka Salamander is one of Sasori's powerful puppets which Kankuro later uses in battle. This puppet has a very high defense so it is not easy to destroy.
Shansuo had an empty space that two people could fit to protect themselves from attacks or debris. Even so, Shansouo had a weakness when attacked from the side.
8. Kuroari
This puppet is also a creation of Sasori which was passed down to Kankuro. Kuroari has a longer head than Karasu with sharp red horns and six arms. The way this puppet works is more or less similar to Karasu.
Kuroari was able to release every part of his body to issue separate attacks. However, Kuroari's main purpose is to capture and immobilize his enemy. This puppet will be very deadly when combined with Karasu's attack.
7. Karasu
Karasu is the main puppet used by Kankuro in battle. This puppet was also created by Sasori. Kankuro usually wraps this doll in a bandage which he usually carries on his back.
Since Kankuro is very fond of assembling various weapons or tools in his puppets, Karasu keeps various hidden weapons that are very deadly and difficult for opponents to predict. In addition, Kankuro can swap bodies with this puppet with the Kawarimi no Jutsu.
6. Haha to Chichi (Mom and Dad)
Haha to Chichi is a pair of puppets created by Sasori by taking the form of his mother and father. Sasori created these two puppets because he really missed his parents who were killed by Hatake Sakumo on the battlefield.
After being abandoned by Sasori, Chiyo modified the two puppets with a variety of deadly weapons that could be used in battle. The two puppets were quite tough against Sasori's Third Kazekage.
5. Hiruko
Hiruko is a ninja puppet made by Sasori that serves as armor where he hides and takes refuge from enemy attacks. In the anime it is explained that Hirako is a human puppet made from the corpse of one of the famous shinobi.
Hiruko is very strong and equipped with terrible weapons. Hiruko has a large tail that has a strong attack power and is equipped with dangerous poison. Based on the narrative from Chiyo, this puppet is Sasori's favorite puppet.
4. Sasori's Hundert Puppets
One of Sasori's secret weapons is that he has 100 puppets that he can control at once in battle. In order to summon the puppets, he had to remove a ninja scroll from his back and emit over a hundred chakra threads through the right side of his chest.
The technique of these 100 puppets was very troublesome and only an experienced ninja like Chiyo could deal with the hundred puppets. Sasori stated that he could easily destroy a country with 100 of these puppets.
3. The Chikamatsu Collection of Ten Puppets
Monzamon Chikamatsu is a legendary puppet creator who is famous for having 10 very powerful puppets. The ten puppets are known to be able to use ninjutsu, taijutsu, and bukijutsu techniques very skillfully depending on the user.
The Chikamatsu Collection was then passed on to Chiyo who was very experienced as a kugutsu user. She can move this puppet with her ten fingers and combine their powers into one. They proved to be able to match Sasori's 100 puppet technique.
2. The Third Kazekage
Third Kazekage is one of the strongest Kage in the history of Suna village. He is famous because he has a very rare magnetic element kekkei genkai and has dangerous attack power. Because of this, Sasori was obsessed with turning him into a human puppet.
After being turned into a puppet, Sasori has the power to access the abilities of the Third Kazekage thus making this puppet very strong and difficult to fight. In addition, Sasori also equipped this puppet with deadly poison.
1. Sasori
Sasori is a member of Akatsuki as well as the strongest kugutsu puppet master in the Naruto story. He is famous for being very skilled at making kugutsu puppets that are deadly in battle. In addition, he has an obsession with creating human puppets from the bodies of the dead.
Uniquely, Sasori also turned himself into a doll so that he always looked young. Even though he has become a puppet, Sasori still has a living human soul in the form of a heart tube located in his left chest.
In addition, he also modified the right side of his chest which allows him to emit more than a hundred chakra threads so he can use the lethal 100 puppet technique. After his death, Kankuro took Sasori's puppet body and modified it for use in battle.
