: Sasori (meaning scorpion) traveled with Deidara from Hidden Rock.

He was a legendary puppet master from Hidden Sand who left his village approximately 20 years before the start of the series

Sasori converted portions of his body into puppet parts, retaining a flesh and blood portion of his original self in a chest container.

He used the "hitokugutsu" method to turn people into puppets while still alive, allowing him to use their jutsu even after their "death."

He fell in battle to Chiyo and Sakura, hesitating to not avoid the lethal strike of his parents who had been made into puppets.
