Intended to be a solution to the inherent flaw of puppet masters' weakness in close range, Hiruko is the sword and shield of Sasori, and is his second most beloved puppet before the Third Kazekage. This puppet is not to be confused with the rogue-nin also named Hiruko. Forged from the corpse of a renowned hero of the Hidden Sand Village, Sasori wore this puppet so often that he was only recognized by most of the other Akatsuki members while he was wearing it. |
