Iron Skin and he smashes through everything Sasori's got.

Could go both ways.

The vast majority of Sasori's puppets would be smashed apart by the Pressure Damage. It was ripping trees up from their roots, wooden puppets won't stand much of a chance, especially if he combines the attack with the Intelligent Hard Work, increasing its fire power. Poison cloud is blown away with the Pressure Damage and Sasori's weapons are blocked by the Diamond Morph. The False Darkness would also be a ****** for Sasori to dodge, due to its speed and precision.

On the other hand, though, Kakuzu doesn't have much against the Third's Iron Sand. True, the Diamond Morph would allow him to defend himself against it, but the masks are another story. Once they're released from Kakuzu's body, be it or , they're susceptible to the Iron Sand Drizzle, which I don't see them defending against due to its speed and range. The Diamond Morph won't help them, as it only hardens Kakuzu's skin.

In any case, I'm not really sure which one I'm leaning towards.​

It can't attack all of them at once though and all of the masks contain jutsu that would KO the puppet, so if he attacks one the other's destroy the 3rd, which is the only problem in Sasori's arsenal. Not to mention with their gliding/flying abilities if this isn't in a cave it would be harder for Sasori to hit then most think if they remain in perpetual motion as he'd HAVE to strike the mask only hitting the threaded body wouldn't do anything.

I used to say Kakuzu all the time but now i think it can go either way.
I feel like i've overlooked certain aspects about Kakuzu's masks and Iron Sand.
