Puppetry is a style of ninjutsu mainly found in Sunagakure with a few notable users. Originally, it was said to have been created by Chikamatsu Monzaemon who was famous for his 10 white puppets, who could take down a castle when used correctly. Since the Otsutsuki have been introduced its been shown that they too have used puppets, and given that they predated ninjutsu its like this is where puppetry truly began. Though, that branch of puppetry is more advanced than what's found in Sunagakure and what I'll be training in here.

The puppetry practiced in Sunagakure uses puppets constructed of wood and metal that can take on a great variety of forms. Some of them are more crude, like Kankuro's Black Ant and Salamander (I think that was its name), while others appear life-like as did Sasori's Hiruko puppet, and more recently Araya's puppet that is styled after himself. These puppets are controlled via chakra threads that extend from the puppeteer's fingertips to the puppet. These are used to move the puppets around and activate different weapons and abilities that each puppet possesses. Sasori (!) was one of the best puppeteers, though he achieved this through questionable methods by creating human puppets that retained the abilities of their living counterpart. He also converted his own body into a human puppet with his heart stored in a container, giving himself a form of agelessness.
