If you look at Naruto Shippuden Episode 26, in the episode, you can see that
one of Sasori's puppets have the Sharingan in its eyes.

Is there any reason for this? Can one of Sasori's puppets use the Sharingan?
Wouldn't a lot of chakra be used up to manage a Sharingan, and could Sasori
manage that too?

Does Sasori control Sharingan-wielding puppets?


Can a puppet made by Sasori use abilities like Sharingan? **Yes,** provided
that they were actually [Human
Puppets](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Human_Puppet).

The likely scenario is that the chakra cost isn't incurred by Sasori himself,
but rather by the puppet, so the abilities used by the puppet would be limited
to the former original person's own chakra strength. If they were actual
members of the Uchiha clan before being transformed instead of shinobi which
transplanted the eyes into themselves, then the likely case is that the chakra
cost is negligible.

Interestingly enough, a handful of them (according to Narutopedia) are
actually former Sharingan users, and are part of his Hundred Puppet Army
(likely a part of what you're witnessing), although the fact that they have
Sharingan isn't exploited in any media, according to any existing sources.

So the answer to original question is:

YES. He technicly could. And he potentially has multiple ones. Here's another
scene from the fight (yes, it's a different scene, about 5 minutes later.
Animation is expensive kids.) [![enter image description

As Bhagyesh mentioned in a comment, only living people have chakra, so in my
head-cannon it works like that:

Each human is like a vessel, and chakra is like a fluid. Sasori's technique of
creating human puppets allows puppets to retain original "chakra shape". so
that when he channels chakra through them, it behaves in the same way it did
when they were alive.

This is supported by Chiyo when she said that "3rd had a special body
composure which allowed him to turn his chakra into magnetic forces", as well
as the fact when 3rd kazekage got resurrected in war arc he was considerably
stronger than his puppet form (presumably because of infinite chakra supply).

But. Why "technically" and "potentially? Well Because his sharingan puppets
are shown to be really really weak. And if they actually had sharingans I
would imagine them being at least really good at hand to hand, and maybe able
to cast some genjutsu at the very least.

So in my opinion, knowing that Sasori is master of deception It's very much
possible, that he just painted sharingans onto wooden balls to look like
actual sharingans just to make his puppets more terrifying (sharingan being
pretty much the most feared kekkei genkai in the world).

So TL;DR He technically could have built Uchiha human puppets and use every
single one of their jutsu, and at the same chakra price as OG Uchiha. But he
probably didn't. They look and act as if they are just for show, so there is
no reason to think that they have anything more behind them.
