This jutsu uses strings of chakra to control puppets like marionettes. Any number of chakra strings can be used to control a puppet, but users with more skill can use fewer strings per puppet. Both Chiyo and Sasori demonstrated the ability to control entire puppets perfectly using just one string. While most puppeteers would normally be able to control ten puppets at most (one per finger), Sasori's self-modification allowed him to control up to one hundred puppets at a time.

Apart from being used to control marionettes, the chakra strings can be attached to other objects, allowing the user to control, or at the very least disrupt, other things. In one instance, Kankuro uses chakra strings to trip Naruto Uzumaki when they first meet. In another, Chiyo uses chakra strings to control a person like a puppet.

This technique has few weaknesses: since the puppeteer uses his or her hands to manipulate the puppets, if the hands are disabled, then the technique could be neutralized. Also, while controlling the doll, the user is wide open if the opponent bypasses the puppet. For this reason, puppeteers avoid battle, relying almost exclusively on their puppets instead.

The user makes kunai knives float in mid-air as he or she uses chakra to control them and direct them to an opponent. Chiyo does something similar by using the strings generated for the Puppet Technique to control discarded puppet weapons for herself.

This chakra shield can be installed in any puppet. A mechanism inside the puppet opens its arms into a couple of segments, through which the user radiates their chakra. The chakra spreads out like a thin film and turns into a protective sheet, preventing all physical attacks, and some jutsus, such as the Iron Sand, thus keeping the user safeguarded. While the shield does block the Iron Sand, it does not prevent it from seeping into the joints of the puppets, which leads them to being disabled. Chiyo installs one into her own arm and into the puppet of Sasori's father and mother.

Chiyo created this technique while a member of Sunagakure's Puppet Brigade. The purpose of the technique was to give life to puppets, the puppets she had in mind being those of Sasori's parents. When the technique was found to require the sacrifice of the user's life, the project was halted and it was labeled a kinjutsu. To use this technique, Chiyo transfers her life-force to the intended target. She first tries to use it on Sakura Haruno, but since Sakura isn't dead yet it doesn't cost her her life. She later uses it on Gaara (with Naruto) to atone for sealing the One-Tailed Shukaku in his body, the reason for his death.

CK: 5 to activate, 3 per turn

A puppet performance technique where chakra threads are attached to various spots on a person's body; the head, torso, both arms, and both legs. The person being manipulated gains the ability to not only use their own techniques, but the skills of the puppeteer as well.

This sealing technique completely blocks the target's chakra with a sealing formula (封印式, fūin-shiki) drawn on the ground or a wall. This is done by closing all the tenketsu of the person caught in the middle. Signifying this is the stylised kanji for "close," or "shut" (閉, hei) drawn in the middle of the sealing formula.

To successfully seal the target, one has to get them exactly inside the sealing formula. This requires great accuracy and is very difficult. Various methods can be used to make this easier. For instance, one can prepare a puppet or a ninja tool like the Lion-Headed Kannon with this sealing formula.

The Three Buddhist Treasures Vacuum Destruction technique uses Puppets #4, #6, #8 to form a three man pyramid. Puppet #4 activates the technique which creates a powerful vacuum that pulls everything in front of it through the small opening between the three, destroying them.

These ten puppets were created by the inventor of the Puppet Technique, Monzaemon Chikamatsu. They later came into Chiyo's possession. To use the puppets, Chiyo first released them from their carrying scroll and then controlled each with a chakra string connected to one of her ten fingers. This ability to control ten puppets at once earned Chiyo great fame.
Puppets
Chiyo's Ten Puppet Collection of Chikamatsu

The puppets are apparently very powerful, as Chiyo claimed that she had destroyed a castle with them, and that afterwards she had sworn to never use them again. They were capable of countering Sasori's Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets, due in great part to their ability to work together. Donned in white coats, each of the puppets have different sets of skills and weapons. The puppets and their skills are listed below, numbered for ease of reference.

1. This puppet somewhat resembled an "oni" (demon). Although it possessed no weapons, its striking power was immense. This puppet primarily used its large fists as a means to fend off attackers. It always kept closer to Chiyo in case it was needed as defense.
2. This puppet was able to extend its arms to form a sort of cage, where it would then launch bombs from its mouth. Since the explosion was accurate and very small, it dealt a great amount of damage to enemies whilst not damaging the cage. This puppet was also proficient at taijutsu.
3. This puppet had one eye, and was capable of releasing an orb from its mouth used for the Sealing Technique: Lion Closing Roar.
4. This puppet had spiky hair, and held the mark of Buddha in its mouth which activated Three Buddhist Treasures Vacuum Destruction technique when used in conjunction with puppets #6 and #8. Three Buddhist Treasures Vacuum Destruction is a technique where puppets #4, #6, and #8 formed a pyramid with a small space at the center. Prior to activation, Chiyo and the three puppets would form a seal that would then open a powerful vacuum that would suck in anything in front of the technique. However, the vacuum was prone to overloading, thus leaving the three puppets vulnerable.
5. A red puppet that works together with puppet #9. It is able to lift its face to reveal a spinning orb with four chakra blades. Since these blades are made of chakra and spin rapidly, even a scrape can prove deadly.
6. This puppet held an "Acts" seal in its mouth, and worked with puppets #4 and #8 to activate Three Buddhist Treasures Vacuum Destruction technique.
7. This puppet resembled a girl with red hair tied into buns. It wielded two large swords that were capable of cleaving through enemies with ease, although the sheer magnitude of the weapons reduced the puppet's dexterity. Puppet #7 was the main attacker, and could fend off even the strongest of enemies at an alarming rate.
8. This puppet held the "Priest" seal, and worked in conjunction with puppets #4 and #6 to activate Three Buddhist Treasures Vacuum Destruction.
9. A puppet with long black hair. It works in conjunction with puppet #5. Puppet #9 is able to extend its hand via a chain link before connecting with puppet #5 to hurl it around, thus being able to slice mid-ranged to close-ranged targets quickly and effectively. However, if #9 were to be destroyed, #5 would become vulnerable.
10. A bald puppet with large holes in its skull. This puppet's hidden weapons are the long extending cords coiled in its skull that can pierce numerous enemies at a time. Since the range is very long, it can pierce distant targets without even getting close. Also, it is able to latch onto opponents with its cords and then crumble them slowly. Puppet #10 can also use its hands and legs to fight, but lacks physical power.

Only one person can have this jutsu at this game. The one person who holds these 10 puppets.

By using his Puppet Technique, Kankuro moves Karasu and Kuroari into position around his target. Karasu launches poison mist at the opponent, surrounding them with gas. When their vision is blocked, both the puppets will launch needles from their arms at their victim.

First the opponent must be trapped in the torso of Kuroari. After this is accomplished, Karasu separates into about eight components, each with a sharp blade. Kankuro guides the separate pieces into slits in Kuroari's torso, impaling the victim inside.

Quote :: Name: Hitokugutsu (Human Puppets)
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
CK: 200

A technique developed by Sasori of the Red Sand, this allows him to create puppets from human corpses. As Sasori was the only person to know how to create human puppets, this technique became lost forever when he died.

By removing the internal organs of a foe and preserving the body to prevent decomposition, as well as adding weapons and defenses, Sasori can make powerful human puppets. These puppets are different from normal ones, as they retain their use of chakra and any Kekkei Genkai that the human host once had. Sasori developed this during his time in Sunagakure, and he claims to have 298 of them, using 103 in his battle with Sakura and Chiyo.

This body conversion method can also be used on still living, as Sasori turned himself into a puppet while still maintaining his life and mind.

One of Sasori's most powerful techniques revolving around the Human Puppets is the Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets, which, with his own puppet body modifications, allows him to control one hundred human puppets, a feat impossible for even the most elite puppet users. Though they lack team work, they are used to overpower the enemies through attrition, and was claimed to have taken down an entire nation.

Quote :: Name: Aka Higi: Hyakki no Sōen (Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets)
Type: Offensive, Defensive, All ranges[
Rank: S
CK: 100 to activate, 50 per turn

To begin this jutsu, Sasori removed one summoning scroll from his back. He then opened his right chest compartment to emit one hundred chakra strings, which then reached into the scrolls. From the scrolls, one hundred human puppets emerged, each one a defeated and converted opponent of Sasori.

As even the most elite of puppeteers cannot control more than ten puppets a time (one per finger), this technique is proof of Sasori's superiority in regards to the Puppet Technique. Also, normally a puppet's movement is dependent on the will of the user, and as such will have a time lag between the user's commands and the puppet's response. However, since these hundred puppets were directly connected to the core, there was no time lag between Sasori's will and the puppets' movements.

Sasori claimed that he had brought down an entire country with this jutsu. Many of the puppets, however, were destroyed during Sasori's battle with Chiyo and Sakura Haruno, although they did manage to destroy some of Chiyo's puppets. While these one hundred puppets lacked teamwork, they apparently used sheer attrition to wear down their opponents.
