The Six Desert Scorpions (六つ砂漠サソリ, Mutsu Sabaku Sasori) is a group comprised of six elite individuals who are selected to undertake dangerous, and often time top secret, missions for the Kazekage. The members are identified by the seal of a Desert Scorpion which is discreetly placed somewhere upon their body during initiation. The specific uses of this seal are yet to be discovered. As the Sasori is a highly secret operation, the existence of this group is not known by many save for the Kazekage and a few select others.

History

Sasori seal given to all members during the initiation process.

The following passage has been taken from an old, crumbling scroll found in the Restricted Section of Sunagakure's Grand Library by Yomi. The scroll was inside a wooden canister with the symbol of the scorpion on it. Due to how much the scroll has disintegrated, several sections of the passage are gone and the reader is left to his own interpretation and speculation.
