[source]. Shaped like a great salamander, befitting its namesake, Sanshouo is the most outright defensive of Suna's puppet force, acting less like a puppet and more like a ninja tank. It shares the same origin and use as Kuroari and Karasu, though its bulky nature makes it finicky to use for less experienced puppet masters.
