Profile

Akasuna no Sasori ('scorpion of the red sand') is a Missing-nin of the village hidden in the Sand, located in the land of Wind.

Sasori joined Akatsuki and was Orochimaru's partner until the latter defected from the organization. Sometimes after, Deidara became his new partner, both having differing opinions on art. He is also the grandson of Chiyo, and grand-nephew of Ebizou, who are known as The Honored Siblings.

In his former village, Sasori was feared as a master puppeteer, being exceptionally skilled in the art itself. He created many ingenious puppets, including the ones owned by Kakuro, and had 298 in his personal collection. Sasori was even known to be an expert at creating poisons, which every puppet's hidden weapons were laced with.

Despite his young appearance, his is actually 35 years old.
