This is the puppet created by Sasori made to look like his original body. When he inhabited it, it contained his "core of living flesh" (生身の核, namami no kaku) in the left compartment in its chest.




While his core of living flesh was inhabiting the puppet body, Sasori held the puppet together at their connecting joints with his chakra threads. Therefore, should it be struck by brute force, the pieces would simply fall apart, thus absorbing the impact and preventing actual damage, and he can reconnect the joints together, making the puppet very difficult to destroy.

While outside of his puppet armour, Sasori would hide his weaponised body under his Akatsuki robes. This made those who are unaware of his conversion to be confused at how he managed to retain the appearance of a teenager despite being 35 years old.

Kankurō retrieves Sasori's puppet body.

After Sasori's death, Kankurō retrieved the puppet and made several modifications to it.[1] During Kankurō's usage of the puppet, it was shown to have a Mechanical Light Shield Block installed into it. The left arm of the puppet is also able to extend. Using this puppet enables Kankurō to use the Red Secret Technique: Machinery Triangles.
