Hanzo (Human Puppet)

Hanzō (半蔵, Hanzō) is a puppet currently used by Shiki; it was created from the corpse of the legendary ninja and former leader of Amegakure, Hanzō of the Salamander (山椒魚の半蔵, Sanshōuo no Hanzō). In life Hanzo was powerful shinobi who became famous around the time of the Second Great Shinobi World War. He was eventually killed by the former leader of the Akatsuki, Pain. During a solo mission into the Hidden Rain Village, Shiki took the opportunity to dig up Hanzo’s grave and steal his corpse without raising too much suspicion. Because of Hanzo’s status as a legendary ninja, Shiki decided that such a powerful warrior would be a very effective tool for him to use, sometime after coming into possession of Hanzo’s body, Shiki turned it into a human puppet to be used in battle. The puppet has long silver hair and scar on its right cheek. The puppet is fitted with a breathing mask that differes from the ones worn by other Amegakure ninjas by being bigger and having two filter cartridges instead of one. It also wears a dark green flak jacket and a cloak.

Abilities and Weapons
When he was still alive, Hanzō was easily one of the strongest ninja of his time. When battling alongside his trademark salamander, Hanzō was strong enough to fight and eventually overpower all three Sannin in their youth. His power was such that Jiraiya expressed intense shock upon hearing that Hanzō had been defeated singlehandedly by Pain. In addition to the abilities it possessed in life, Shiki has added a number of devices and weapons inside the puppet to make it more efficient for combat purposes. All of the weapons installed in the Hanzo puppet are soaked in poison, which kills the victim after three days of painful paralysis.
