Users Sasori

To begin this technique, Sasori removes one summoning scroll from his back. He then unravels another scroll and emits a single chakra thread into it, before the croll emits more than a hundred chakra strings itself which reach into the summoning scroll (two scrolls being used in total). From the summoning scroll, more than a hundred puppets wearing red cloaks emerge.

As even the most elite of puppeteers cannot control more than ten puppets a time (one per finger), this technique is proof of Sasori's superiority with regard to the Puppet Technique. Also, normally a puppet's movement is dependent on the will of the user, and as such there will be a time lag between the user's commands and the puppet's response. However, since these hundred puppets are controlled be a two-fold scroll-parallel, there is no time lag between Sasori's will and the puppets' movements.

While these one hundred puppets lack teamwork, they apparently use sheer attrition and numbers to overwhelm their opponents. Even when they decrease in numbers they do not become less dangerous, merely allowing Sasori to focus more on the remaining puppets' movements.

As with all of Sasori's puppets, all the weapons wielded are coated in his special poison, which would kill the victims after three days of painful paralysis.
