25 jutsus?! That's incredible dedication... very admirable, honestly. I can't wait to see you start to spar with others once you've developed your skills and such ^_^
Home stretch! Almost done, lol
Now let's talk more advanced puppets. Remember the breakdown you did for Crow, Ant, and Salamander? I want you to do that here with three more sets of puppets: Sasori's Parents, Hiruko, and Sasori himself. I will give you some tips on each one and how to use them in battle, as well as some possible clarifications.
The Mother and Father puppets can use all standard puppet techniques we've learned. They're a little more durable (B-rank strength), and can use steel wires to link to each other or wrap and cut targets. Mother has a sword, and Father has a kunai chain.
I can see these two having some nice combination work! I'm not sure if they have poisoned weapons, since these were used primarily by Chiyo.
Strange, isn't it? In the RP, Sasori can use his own parents in battle. Kinda sad, really.
Sasori’s Parents
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: N/A
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: After Sasori’s parents were killed by Sakumo Hatake, he created these two puppets to fill the void left by their deaths, though they were not human puppets. At first, they were simply meant for Sasori to fill the void left by the death of his parents, but later, after Sasori left Sunagakure and left these puppets behind, Chiyo enhanced both of them, adding weapons to them to make them usable for battle. Both have chakra shields installed in them, and they also have steel wires that link together with their fingers that are usable for cutting. The mother puppet has a katana while the father has a chain of kunai.
Note: Usable only by a Sasori or Chiyo character.
Note: Can be summoned separately.
Hiruko... the strongest puppet defense. He can tank up to A-rank attacks, use all regular puppet jutsu, has a poison tipped iron-tail (which I believe can reach up to mid-range from him), and has a torpedo arm that can explode and release needles.
In a fight, especially if you have a Sasori bio, you have to state whether you're going to be inside Hiruko at the beginning. If you're not, you'll be in your Sasori puppet form.
What's cool here is that if you're not in Hiruko form, you can still summon him and allow him to fight alongside you.
Hiruko
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: N/A
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A
Description: Created by Sasori, Hiruko is the ultimate defensive puppet, hence why Sasori often stays inside of it, being hollow on the inside. From the inside of the puppet, Hiruko can still be freely controlled. Hiruko looks a lot like a normal human when wearing the Akatsuki outfit, his eyes even seeming realistic. Hiruko’s most notable feature is his extremely long iron tail, that Sasori, from inside the puppet, can extend, questionably allowing it to reach an opponent from almost all ranges. The tail extends from the mouth of what seems to be a mask on Hiruko’s back. Hiruko rarely moves in battle, however, during the brief fight with Kankurou, it has been shown that he has decent speed, though it is short-lived, having had sidestepped his attack easily. Hiruko cannot be broken by normal weapons. When he had been impaled by approximately eight of Crow’s knives, they failed to make even a scratch on him. When outside of the Akatsuki uniform, when he seems to take a more spider-like appearance, Hiruko’s speed is greatly increased, allowing him to scurry across the battlefield. Hiruko can only be destroyed by an attack of at least A rank, or by someone with strength such as Sakura’s, Tsunade’s, or Kakuzu’s. Hiruko’s left arm is shaped like a torpedo, and can be shot out towards the opponent, exploding and releasing needles in all directions when it does so.
Note: Only Usable by a Sasori character.
And this... is you in jutsu form. Probably the best standard puppet in your arsenal, since you can do a lot with him (you).
Let me list down the entire deal:
- EVERY bladed weapon on Sasori's self is poisoned.
- He has a scythe on his right arm for close range slashing.
- The long cable in his stomach cavity can reach up to mid-range, and is also poison tipped. You can even use it as a grapple of sorts, quickly maneuvering yourself throughout the battlefield if the terrain allows it.
- The propellers on his back are incredible and some of the most useful tools. You can use them to dodge techniques at high speeds, and even defend yourself from attacks from the back. Unlimited usages in a fight, and you can hurt enemies with them, too!
- Sasori has pipes on his hands that can shoot A-rank water or fire blasts. Great coverage.
- Sasori can't feel anything, but his heart container is the only real vulnerability he has. Recall what happened in the manga; that was how he died.
- Sasori has the 100 strings for his Red Puppet Army; however, what's less well-known is that these 100 strings can attach to individual puppets as well. So theoretically, among those 100 puppets, you can have puppets like Crow, Salamander, Black Ant, Sasori's Parents, Hiruko, and the Third Kazekage... basically using his entire arsenal in one go!
Sasori
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary
Range: N/A
Chakra Cost: 40 (if summoning)
Damage: N/A
Description: Sasori, after leaving the village, made himself into a puppet, his most powerful one. Sasori, has many compartments on himself that hold scrolls inside of him that allow him to summon other puppets. In its right arm, there is a large retractable scythe. In place of his stomach, there is a compartment with a long, thick cable wrapped around a pole that can be used as a singer, able to be retracted and lengthened at will. On the back of Sasori’s hips is a pair of poles, which are equipped with five large blades each that can spin like a propeller, allowing a great defense from behind, as well as a deadly maneuver for any opponent trying a surprise attack. There are pipes on the palm of each of Sasori’s hand that can spew out powerful fire like a flamethrower or water jets (both equal to A rank). In the right part of his chest, there is a compartment filled with 100 chakra strings. In the left part of Sasori is his heart container, though this is not there, of course, when used by Kankurou. Sasori is immune from being hurt in anywhere but his heart, which would take a very direct attack. When hit anywhere else, he can simply retract the broken area back together, even able to withstand powerful poison. His entire body, besides his heart, is a puppet, and so he cannot feel anything anywhere other than his heart. Within a split second, the heart container in Sasori is able to be transferred from one puppet to another.
Note: Only usable by a Sasori or Kankurou character.
