Sasori

Sasori is a member of the criminal organization Akatsuki. He comes from Sunagakure, or "The Hidden Sand Village". Sasori is a puppeteer who has mastered the art of human puppetry, turning people into lifeless puppets that he can use to attack and defend. He even went so far as to turn his whole body into a living puppet, except for his heart, which if destroyed would kill him.

Sasori's partner is Deidara, who uses molded clay to attack. They often argue about what true art is, Sasori believing art is timeless, and will live forever, and Deidara believing that art is quick and flashy, stating that "Life is only so wonderful because it's so short."

Sasori has many puppets with unique weapons, and all of their weapons have a coating of a special poison of his own design. Being a puppet himself he is able to control vast numbers of puppets at once, in addition to the many concealed weapons he has hidden in his body. He keeps a cord with a scorpion-like point concealed inside a chest cavity which he seems to have direct control over. He uses this to strike at his opponents from adistance and gain extra height by raising it up while standing on it. In addition to this he also has several scrolls on his back, which release puppets and allow him to access two more weapons, the flamethrowers and water pumps in his hands. He can focus the water until it's able to blow away solid rock, shattering it due to the extreme water pressure. He also has two rotating scythe-like blades coming out of his back. Sasori's body can be smashed and he will reform as long as his heart remains intact.

Sasori's first appearance was when he and his partner Deidara kidnapped the Jinchuuriki Gaara to extract his tailed beast.

Sasori's only living relations are his grandmother and grandfather Chiyo and Ebizo. Chiyo is a healer and a skilled puppeteer who took care of Sasori after his mother and father died. Chiyo also taught Sasori puppetry until he left Sunagakure.

Sasori prefers to wear an outer puppet that he calls Hiruko, who has a scorpion tail for attack and defence. While he was fighting Kankuro and his puppets Crow, Black Ant and Salamander, all of which Sasori originally made, he was able to extend this tail to destroy the puppets and wound Kankuro. Because his tail was covered in his special poison Sakura Haruno was able to analyze it and create an antidote which she used while fighting him.

Although Sasori nearly succeeds in destroying Sakura and Granny Chiyo, Sakura stabs him through the heart, and he dies, leaving behind his puppet body. Later, Kankuro uses it much as Sasori used his human puppets, to replace his smashed puppets.

Suigetsu

Okay, lessee here.

Suigetsu was born in the Village of Bloody Mist and trained by the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. He was called the "Second coming of Zabuza the Devil" referring to his old Senpai Zabuza Momochi. He is first seen as a tank of water right after Sasuke defeats Orochimaru. Sasuke destroys the tank, letting the water inside spill out, and from that water emerges Suigetsu. He at first seems intent on establishing his dominance over Sasuke, holding his finger over a pressure point on Sasuke's head, but tells him later that it was a test to see if he defeated Orochimaru with skill or luck. He then promises Sasuke that he will follow him if Sasuke helps him find the sword "Kubiriki" previously owned by his former teacher Zabuza. In the manga, Sasuke leads him to Zabuza's gravemarker which the villagers erected as a sign of respect to him and his apprentice Haku. Suigetsu takes the sword, and boasts to Sasuke, "As long as I have this sword, not even you can touch me. Maybe."

However, in the anime the sword is already gone, taken by a man called Tenzen Daikoku. Sasuke pays a visit to Tenzen in the night, telling him a large invading army is coming to drag him away and tear his castle down. He then leaves, and the next day, horsemen are seen riding toward Tenzen's castle. The same day he makes a bet with Suigetsu, the terms of which being, the person to touch the sword first wins the bet, but they can't kill anyone in the castle. Sasuke defeats the horsemen and burns the arrows that are fired at them, then he disappears, leaving Suigetsu to take the blame. Suigetsu defeats all of his opponents easily and enters the inner castle without a scratch, finally making it up to the top. When asked how he defeated all of Tenzen's soldiers he replies that all weapons are useless against him. Tenzen appears worried, but a huge bodyguard smashes through the wall behind Suigetsu and slashes him in half with Kubiriki. Tenzen starts to gloat, but the two halves of Suigetsu start to move. He again tells them that no weapon can hurt him, and rejoins himself. As the bodyguard swings again, he becomes liquid for a second, reforming beside the man. Using the art of water expansion to make his arm muscular, he asks them which one of them killed Zabuza. Tenzen tries to shift the blame to Sasuke, who has just appeared, and Suigetsu jerks the guard through the hole in the wall he created. Suigetsu threatens to test his new blade out on Tenzen, but Sasuke reminds him that if he kills Tenzen he'll loose the bet. Suigetsu compensates by swinging his sword through the central pillars of the building, giving Tenzen a chance to escape before the building collapses. Suigetsu stays true to his word, and follows Sasuke to collect the next member of their team, Karin of the Southern Hideout.

On the way there, Suigetsu asks why they need Karin, stating that he doesn't like her because she used to experiment on him. When they reach the Hideout they find Karin and convince her to join their group. Suigetsu makes frequent stops on the way to their last destination, the Northern Hideout, causing Karin to become increasingly more annoyed with him. It becomes apparent at this point that Suigetsu, being mostly made of water, must drink water often, and becomes tired easily, having not been able to walk in so long.

Suigetsu often fights with Karin, insulting her or annoying her to the point where she starts to hit him, which usually results in his becoming liquid and then reforming. Suigetsu's goal is to take all the swords of the Seven Swordsmen, and he concentrates next on Kisame Hoshigaki's sword, "Sameheida". As of yet he hasn't managed to take it.

Suigetsu's favorite foods appear to be yoghurt or jello, both being semi-liquid. He appears to be slightly rebellious against Sasuke, for example, he will occasionally kill people when he thinks Sasuke will not mind, or not find out about it. He appears only to stay with the rest of the group because they will help him accomplish his goal faster. He is often seen protecting his comrades at cost to himself, showing that maybe he has a little bit of loyalty to his teammates.

So, a quick review.
