Affiliation: Sunagakure (Hidden Sand)
Signature Ability: Poison expert, Kugutsu no Jutsu (Puppet Technique) (Haha, Chichi, etc.), Shiro Higi: Jikki Chikamatsu no Shū (White Secret Technique: Ten Puppet Group of Chikamatsu)
Affectionately called Chiyo-baa-sama (チヨバア様) by the Sunagakure villagers. She and her brother Ebizō are highly revered in Suna and are known as the Go-Kyōdai (御姉弟, honorific form of "Siblings"). She is a poison expert and used her skills during the third Ninja war, only to be countered numerous times by Tsunade's medical expertise. This is why she holds a grudge towards "Ano Namekuji-musum
e" (あのナメクジ娘, "That slug-girl") as she calls Tsunade. She is the grandmother of Akasuna no Sasori. Her son was the enemy of Hatake Kakashi's father Hatake Sakumo, whom she still holds a grudge to. It is unknown if this son is also the father of Sasori. It was Chiyo who trapped Shukaku in Gaara under orders of the Yondaime Kazekage.
Chiyo uses ten puppets created by the first Kugutsu no Jutsu (Puppet Technique) user, Monzaemon.
After an extended battle between Chiyo and Sakura against Sasori at the end of which all three people have been fatally injured, Chiyo sacrifices her life force to save Sakura's life, using a jutsu she originally developed for Sasori, "to give life to a lifeless puppet." Because Sakura was not completely dead, Chiyo was still alive at that point, since she was not forced to give up her entire lifeforce to restore Sakura. Later on though, she uses the same jutsu to bring back Gaara, thus using up her remaining life force.
Trivia
Chiyo is arguably the oldest character in the series. Though her current age is unknown, she has to be at least 80. Her grandson, Sasori, left Sunagakure more then 20 years ago, already being a legendary puppetmaker. This probably makes him about 40 years old. Assuming that both Chiyo and her son had their children at age 20, this brings Chiyo's age at 80+.
