Puppets can hold weapons and hidden mechanisms, and the user moves them as if they were part of their own body. In the Chūnin Exam preliminaries, Kankurō beats Misumi using his puppet Crow as bait: what looked like Kankurō was the puppet. Later he withdraws from another match so as not to reveal his puppet. A puppet is not a summoned being or a living person: it depends entirely on the skill of whoever controls it.","pos":70},{"h":"Kankurō in Part I","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-214","t":"During the invasion of Konoha, Kankurō faces Shino and attacks with poison through his puppet, but Shino's insects drain his chakra. On the mission to bring back Sasuke, he arrives to help Kiba and uses Black Ant to trap Sakon and Ukon and run them through with blades from inside. Kankurō combines several puppets depending on the situation. How many he can handle, his precision and his coordination depend on training, not on a fixed rule.","pos":214},{"h":"Sasori and Chiyo","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-275","t":"Sasori of the Red Sand takes the art to another extreme: he wrecks Kankurō's puppets, fights hidden inside Hiruko, has turned the Third Kazekage and his Iron Sand into a puppet, and modified his own body until it became a puppet with a single living core. Chiyo, his grandmother, guides Sakura with chakra threads to dodge his attacks and brings out Mother and Father, the puppets Sasori made in his parents' image. Against Sasori's hundred puppets, Chiyo answers with ten legendary ones, and finally pierces his core. The description is narrative: it includes no instructions for building anything.","pos":275},{"h":"Sasori's legacy","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-519","t":"Kankurō keeps puppets that once belonged to Sasori and adds them to his arsenal. In the Fourth Great Ninja War, Sasori, revived with the Impure World Reincarnation, faces him again, and Kankurō captures him with Omoi. Kankurō's words about the value of puppets move Sasori, who entrusts his puppets to him before he fades away. The art of puppetry thus passes from one master to another, but through example and choice, not through a blood tie.","pos":519},{"h":"The new generation","lvl":2,"t":"In the Boruto era, Kankurō is still Sunagakure's go-to puppeteer. In the anime, Araya, Shinki and Yodo's teammate, carries on another use of puppets in Suna's new generation. The conditions are the same: the number of puppets, the precision and the internal resources depend on each user's training and preparation. Inheriting puppets from a master, as Kankurō did, does not replace years of practice with chakra threads."}],"characters":["kankuro","chiyo","sasori","araya"],"related":["chakra"],"reference":"Reading guide for the series indicated.
