Summary
Sasori was a legendary puppeteer from the Hidden Sand and the grandson of Chiyo. After his parents were killed by Kakashi's father, Sakumo Hatake, Sasori was raised by Chiyo but grew emotionally hollow. He turned his own body into a puppet — a hollow core within a wooden shell — achieving a form of immortality. His Red Secret Technique controlled a hundred puppets simultaneously, a feat that once destroyed an entire nation. Sasori was killed in an emotional battle against Chiyo and Sakura Haruno, where he ultimately chose to let himself be struck by the puppets of his own parents — a final embrace from the family he lost.
