Liao Wu did exactly that. The moment he came into contact with Sasori's subordinates and Puppet Masters, he activated his Sharingan and planted suggestions in them one by one.
Your salt, my vinegar!
In an instant, they became even more devoted to Liao Wu.

"Exactly. Rasa's a useless waste of space. He has no ability whatsoever and just keeps leading the village to defeat."
