Kikisu walked into the training area looking around at the other ninja training, some were just normal genin but a few were very pretty girls, he walked over to the first girl he saw, she was about his height with a nice body and long blonde hair, almost  as nice as his. He walked over and started talking to her as she was practicing her shuriken no jutsu, he started talking to her in a casual tone, Hey there, your throw is good, and your form looks good, almost as good as you haha the girl turned to him and furrowed her brow and told him, Can you beat it please, im trying to practice here pretty boy that was a good sign, she didnt slap him or anything, so he continued Well if youre busy now, how about later tonight maybe some dinner tonight hmm? the girl smiled and threw a kunai and missed the target and cursed, Okay okay tonight but Kiki get away i have to pratice Kikisu gave her a wink and set away, he would have to start training a little, maybe with two puppets this time he just learned the way to control a lot of puppets at once, it was differant then one at a time, when using two puppets at once it was as if her were 2 people acting as both at the same time, though the puppets movements were less realistic, it was cool he may just train that tech today, he thought as he approach a group of trainees who were brawling, they were doing Taijutsu, a very stupid thing to learn indeed the two kids were pummeling each other with fists and kicks, why would someone want to do such a stupid thing, why would one beat their own body up when they could have a wooden thing in between them, Kikisu couldve taken both of those kids on, they wouldnt get past Tabok, or Spink at that matter, his puppets were not his first only attack, he also had his razor sharp strings, ten of them they would cut any one who could get past his puppets to shreds, these Taijutsu freaks would have no chance against him, a long range or mid range fighter would always trump a close range brute, he was certain, but now to the training...

Someone had approached him right before h had taken tabok off of his back, the kid had started saying what seemed to be his favorite things, one of which included hair, and that the kid wanted to spar with him, that was promising, maybe this kid used something differant, something special he had a leaf headband and a semi pleasnant look on his face, Kiki answered back as he turned around, Kikisu Chikamatsu, of the Sand, and the future leader of the puppet Brigade, pleasure to meet you Taira, your hair is nice i guess but you must get more sun itll bleach it blonde like mine and will shine the ladies love that kind of stuff he said with a wink and a laugh, he then continued And, male, just if you were confused haha, and straight if you were worried, and il go for a spar but defeat wont look good on you im worried he said all of this in a joking tone, not sarcastic but lighthearted as Kikisu always was, he said one more thing, May i ask, if im not being rude but why would a leafie be in this old desert sand pit, its a bit warmer then you are used to in the leaf village and much much more... humid but anyway i talk too much, but it is much to warm to be fighting in this heavy robe give me one second as i get ready he walked over to the nearest practice doll and threw his robe off, revealing his fishnet shirt which to most seemed odd looking but was nice in the heat it let his chest breath persay, it also showed off his back tattoo, while taking his robe off he put the roll that was tabok beside his clothes leaving him there for a little bit, he then walked over to the kid whom he was to spar with and said one last thing before the fight stared, I hope you dont mind a 3 on 1 he said as he jumped back and opened up his sealing scroll and summoning forth Spink his dino puppet and at the same time as attaching his strings to tabok to use both of them at the same time, he then called out to the kid in a more serious voice, Welcome to Suna, ready for the Puppet brigades own he then launched forth his dino at the kid sending the front claws rocketing at the kids shoulders, aiming for both, he then used tabok to circle around the kid, to his left and pull out its Mio dao and shoot a smoke bomb out of its mouth right at the kids feet and then fly into the smoke and slice at the kids left kneecap.
Chakra 134/150

Jutsu used"Name: Chakra Strings Technique (Chakura no Ito ~ チャクラの糸)
Canon/Custom: Cannon
Rank: E
Type: Supplementary
Element: N/A
Range: 50m
Specialty: Kugutsu(Puppetry)
Duration: Maintainale
Cooldown: 2(After ending the technique)
Description:
The jutsu Generates long fiberous malleable chakra strings from each of the user's fingers. The condensed chakra takes a blue hue, though colour often depends on the user, and colours may vary. This is generally used to control a puppet though the flexible chakra fibre can just as easily be atached to a weapon to generate a yoyo effect or similar fighting styles, and use on humans is restricted to only human puppets in your locker (you cannot control people). All chakra strings are able to be cut or severed by a single B rank or higher non katon jutsu or bukijutsu technique.

Three types of strings:
Multiple control (-5 chakra per turn):
The chakra strings at this rank are more tailored to controlling the base functions of many puppets as opposed to putting an astounding amount of effort into the control of few. Using this technique depending on the user's rank they are able to control up to 10 puppets, though the trade off is each of them operate at -1 of the users base speed and reaction time (meaning jutsu, item and SC buffs/ +1's are not included, clan negatives or positives however are.)
D rank = 2 puppets
C rank = 4
B rank = 6
A rank = 8
S rank = 9
SS rank = 10


Balanced Control (-5 chakra per turn):
Using more focused control on the puppets the user wields they are able to focus more into their puppets movement and therefore they no longer receive the negative influence to their speed that the mass control strings had(still recieve -1 to reaction times), but less puppets are able to operate at this capacity per rank.
D-C rank = Max of 2 puppets
B-A rank 4
S-SS rank = 5


Focused control (-5 chakra per turn):
The user with these strings are able to literally control their puppets with such mastery as if they were basically human themselves. Though the concentration at this level requires they dedicate themselves into only one or two puppets, but they operate without any negatives what so ever, and move at the user's base speed and reaction times.
C-B rank = 1 Puppet max
A rank and up can use 2.

Name: Generic Sealing Technique
Canon/Custom: Canon
Rank: E, but the chakra cost depends on the rank of the item. E: 5, D: 10, C: 15, B: 20, A: 25, S: 30
Type: Supplementary
Element: N/A
Range: Short range
Specialty: fūinjutsu
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 2 posts
Description: This technique is a standard ninja skill which allows a ninja to summon an assortment of items that have been stored using fūinjutsu. Scrolls are the most common choice for item storage. When needed, the owner will activate the seals releasing their item or weapon of choice. Scrolls can also be used as ammunition for other weapons or have other seals inside of them, which expand the number of potential tricks a shinobi can use.
The jutsu can be used to either store an item in something or to summon it from something. But it can’t be both.
The sealing scrolls for this technique need to bought in the item shop.

Reag was disappointed. There was only one thing he wanted from the s/he in front of him, and that was a reaction of total terror from his sudden appearance. And he spent so much effort getting behind the it. Scaring people like that was one of his few guilty pleasures, along with nocturnal wanderings, trying to grab the moon, and drinking black coffee. Every good shinobi needed an odd behavior to help them get through the highly stressful life, and Reag was no different. It didn’t matter what book you read from what village, every shinobi of special jounin or higher had a significant quirk to help them deal with the mass murder. The young Genin from Konoha felt that cultivating his own, fairly harmless, quirk early on would be a prudent action.

The target of his attempted scare turned around to face him, finally giving the wire user a good look at his face. It was probably male, though the exact gender was still unidentifiable. Reag raised an eyebrow, questioningly. The odd device on the Suna ninja's back caught his attention. Perhaps it was a puppeteer? That would definitely make for an interesting spar, as puppets tended to be a natural counter to his own Genjutsus. And, unlike the Sharingan, something about them didn’t feel like cheating. Maybe if he had grown up in this horrible desert, the young Konoha shinobi might have taken up puppetry instead of using his wires. One way or another, the fight itself looked to be promising and very enlightening for the young ninja.

He waited as the Suna Genin sized him up, probably trying to determine if sparing with the leaf ninja would be worth the effort. It was then that sands puppeteer spoke. “Kikisu Chikamatsu, of the Sand, and the future leader of the puppet Brigade, pleasure to meet you Taira, your hair is nice I guess but you must get more sun itll bleach it blonde like mine and will shine the ladies love that kind of stuff “ Kikisu paused for a moment, smirking and laughing. That was odd behavior. “And, male, just if you were confused haha, and straight if you were worried, and il go for a spar but defeat wont look good on you im worried ” Well, that certainly cleared up the gender questions. It also raised as many questions as it had answered.

The quip about his hair had really annoyed the leaf Genin. Taira Reag absolutely despised his hair, as its blond coloring tended to give him away during his nighttime operations. He couldn’t even dye it black, as his hair would lose the artificial coloring within minutes. Shaving it all off was out of the question as well. Last time he had tried that, the academy students laughed at him for three weeks straight. And now this foreign ninja had the gall to insist that his hair was nice? This fucker was going down. The Chikamatsu continued to talk, keeping up his lighthearted tone, seemingly oblivious to the seething leaf ninja.

“May i ask, if im not being rude but why would a leafie be in this old desert sand pit, its a bit warmer then you are used to in the leaf village and much much more... humid but anyway i talk too much, but it is much to warm to be fighting in this heavy robe give me one second as i get ready“ The Chikamatsu began to remove his robe, in preparation for the spar. Reag did the same, removing his jacket to show his black long sleeved undershirt. It had been difficult to get that ordered, but not impossible. He quickly checked through the pockets of his jacket, looking for the passport he kept in there. Finding it, he quickly flashed it towards the suna ninja that had insulted him.

“Diplomatic mission. I'm here with the Hokage. For the next few days, me and my team are considered honorary Suna shinobi. Hell, I've already completed several ranked missions for your village.” Reag paused for a second, carefully folding his jacket. It would not do to be sloppy in front of a foreign ninja. “What is it with this village and drug dealers anyway? I had to dispose of several during my stay here. Why has no one cracked down on this yet?” The Konoha wire user finished preparing himself for a spar and stood up straight. With a few quick stretches, he deliberately assumed a taijutsu stance. Of course, he had no idea how to use taijutsu effectively, but a hero of his village once said 'the first move is always a feint'. Reag tried to live up to those words.

Breathing out, the genjutsu user eyed his opponent and spoke for the last time. “Are you ready?” His foe nodded and replied. “I hope you dont mind a 3 on 1“ Reag smiled. Definitely a puppeteer then. This fight would be most interesting. “Not in the slightest.” Both Reag and his foe jumped backward. The spar had began. His foe grabbed a sealing scroll from his belt and pulled out a second puppet. So three vs one it was. It was time to start planning a counter attack. Several strategies rapidly fluttered through the young wire user's mind, until he found the one he liked best. It was time to turn this fight into a waiting game.

Cracking his neck, Reag reached down to his right side and unhooked his Kopis, taking it up in his right hand. This weapon was one of his favorites. The forward facing blade would be perfect for slicing strings and chopping limbs. His weapon was a modified farmers tool, designed for decapitating cattle. It was the perfect weapon for dealing with unarmored foes. In addition to its wicked cutting edge, the blade had a very sharp thrusting point, allowing it to pierce through armor with ease. In short, it was his melee weapon of choice, and damn good at what it did.

He entered into a bukijutsu stance, leaving his old Taijutsu one behind him. It seemed his foe took the bait, sending his two puppets to attack him in melee range. The first one charged right at him, intent on stabbing him straight on, while the other seemed to circle around to the side. Reag shifted his position to keep both in sight. His eyes flickered over to his foe. Perhaps a quick attack before his puppets made it to him would be in order? He quickly began his little ritual for performing his techniques.

First Step: Gather your Chakra. Carefully, Reag began to focus his natural energies behind his eyes. Second Step: Mold your Chakra. He was well practiced with this illusion, and thus didn't need handseals to get the chakra bullet ready. Final Step: Release your Chakra. He tried to meet the eyes of his foe. But his foe wasn't looking at him. He mentally cursed and cried out 'HEY!', in an attempt to meet his opponents eyes.

He didn't have time to see if his opponent looked at him, as the puppets began to advance. Perhaps his technique had worked. Perhaps it hadn't. Either way, the two puppets where advancing rapidly. Reag pulled his sword up to block the attacks to his chest when his world went dark. He smelled the smoke. He jumped backwards as fast as he could, avoid the puppets, though leaving them in a good position to chase after him. This would be a problem.

Throughout all of Kikisus years of using puppets, he had learned things about the movement of peoples ways, the way someone moves and what can be judged and what they will do with said moves, like the moment the smoke bomb opened up and he shifted to Spink, he quickly saw the kids feet move backwards, for barely a second, though it was enough to guess that the kid would jump back to get out of the cloud, which was a common choice...but wrong, he made spink fly into the air and brought him down on where the kid would be coming out of the smoke with both front claws pointing at the kids weapon arm, one aiming for his bicep and the other aiming for his forearm, also the mouth was set open to clamp on the kids shoulder the moment it touches it if made contact, Kikisu then brought Tabok out of the smoke and sent him around to the back of the cloud, and with a few finger twithes which were almost a habit to do now, he opened up taboks arm and shot three kunai into the smoke aiming for the area in which the kids back should be, aiming one at the upper back and one at the lower and the last one at the kids middle back area, then he sent tabok sword first into the middle of the cloud, at the same time Spink woud be hopefully flying into the kid...
