Description

Prepared Puppet: Eight Waves of Needles - a technique that Sasori uses with his battle puppet Hiruko. Hiruko opens its mouth or another part of its head and releases a rapid stream of countless senbon, resembling a machine-gun burst. The needles can be pre-poisoned, making a hit deadly. The attack covers a wide area and strikes the target at a distance. The duration of such a barrage depends entirely on how many projectiles were contained in that particular device of the doll.
