Ryoushis secret training. The new technique

Ryoushi stood in the center of a special seal he had place in the shape of a circle 100 ft all around him that concealed his presence from any possible onlookers as he trained his new jutsu. He reached out and called forth the chakra strings needed for his Kugutsu no Jutsu - Puppetry Technique. The strings attached to the Puppets that Ryoushi had found in the vaults of Konoha labeled Karasu, Kuroari and Sanshouuo. Apparently they originally belonged to a sand village ninja but were given to the leaf as a sign of trust.

Ryoushi made the puppets move and attack targets that he had set up and tested their secrets, trying to learn them inside and out. He was surprised at how well these puppets were preserved as they were over 500 years old and needed no work done on them.

Karasu was the puppet most likely used for attack as it had Detatchable limbs with Extendable poisoned blades from those limbs. It was also capable of firing poison gas, Razor blade ribs and had a mouth kunai launcher.

Kuroari was a puppet used for capture. The only attack weapon it has are saw blades on arms. It also has a large expanding chest cavity for capture which is used in combination wit Karasu to land the finishing blow.

Sanshouuo was most definatly a defensive puppet. It had no attack parts and instead it had multiple defensive maneuvers. The first was the shield that came up from its back to stop frontal attacks. The second was a compartment using the shield to completely surround the user in a defensive barrier and protect them from attacks.

Ryoushi, still inside his barrier so others could not watch him, pulled out a scroll with 10 puppets sealed inside. This one had been recovered from the scene of a battle between a Leaf ninja named Sakura Haruno and a Sand Village ninja named Chiyo vs a member of the Akatsuki memeber Sasori. Even know that it was 500 years later the name Sasori was still thought of whenever someone mentioned puppetry.

The scroll contained instructions on how to use the puppets, stating that these puppets were to be passed down from generation to generation of puppet masters in the sand. Ryoushi did not know why this scroll was not returned to the sand instead of being brought to the Leaf and placed in the archives but he didn't really care. He unsealed the puppets and began practiving with them.

Puppet One: This puppet does not appear to have any hidden weapons, instead relying on its brute strength and power to knock away attackers.

Puppet Two: This puppet does not appear to have any hidden weapons, instead it used its body in defensive maneuvers.

Puppet Three: This puppet holds a chakra sealing orb in its mouth. The mouth will open, releasing the fist-size orb. When thrown the orb increased in size to reveal that it is actually a gaping maw. This large head can bite and pin opponents to a wall, sealing their ability to use chakra.

Puppet Four ("Buddha"): This puppet bears the mark of "Buddha" in its mouth. It forms the top portion of the Sanbou Kyuukai technique. It works along side puppet six ("Acts") and eight ("Priest").

Puppet Five: This puppet utilizes some form of chakra-like blade. The top portion of its head will lift, to reveal a round sub-face. This face will extend four blades, which will begin to spin. This puppet works in conjunction with puppet nine.

Puppet Six: ("Dharma/Acts") This puppet bears the mark of "Acts" in its mouth. It forms the lower left portion of the Sanbou Kyuukai technique. It works along side puppet four ("Buddha") and eight ("Priest").

Puppet Seven: This puppet wields large head-cleaving swords, which it can use to split enemies in twain.

Puppet Eight ("Sangha/Priest"): This puppet bears the mark of "Priest" in its mouth. It forms the lower right portion of the Sanbou Kyuukai technique. It works along side puppet four ("Buddha") and six ("Acts").

Puppet Nine: This puppet works in conjunction with puppet five. It can extend its right hand on a chain, to interlock with puppet fives left hand. It can then hurls puppet five and its spinning sub-face at its opponents.

Puppet Ten: This puppet holds extending cords in its skull. It can extend these piercing wires into its opponents.

After practicing with these puppets, Ryoushi decided to customize them by adding his poison to all of their weapons. After doing so he resealed them into the scroll and put the scroll in his scroll case in his hip.

Ryoushi went home and returned to the same spot the next day. He needed to expand his jutsu knowledge to the area of Genjutsu so he was training in some of them today. He did a few hand seals and charged his chakra, "Kokuangyou no Jutsu" The jutsu took effect for a few seconds as he was trying to cast it on himself, but was soon dispelled as his chakra was not strong enough.

Day after day Ryoushi practiced this new jutsu and day after day he failed, getting closer and closer. He soon was able to control the jutsu and turn it off and on, but he could not hold the jutsu on for very long.

After a few weeks of training, Ryoushi still couldn't use the jutsu to its full extent. He trained every day after his paperwork was done, but being Hokage made it difficult to find time to practice. He had paperwork, meetings, more paperwork, military maneuvers planing and even more paperwork. Between that and training, Ryoushi didn't have much time for anything else. Even though Ryoushi wanted some kind of social life, he didn't have time, the village needed a strong leader.

After a long day of work and then a few hours training, Ryoushi went home to sleep. He didn't even eat, instead he walked straight up to his room and fell into his bed. He was asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. Ryoushis' dreams were strange as usual, but this time they seemed to be almost like a prophecy. Before Ryoushi could figure out what was going on in the dream he was woken up by his alarm clock. He hit the button on top to turn it up and pulled himself out of bed. He decided to take the day off from his duties as Hokage and concentrate on training.

Ryoushi went to his secret training place and began his training for the day. As the sun rose in the sky it became hotter and hotter. Ryoushi was not getting anywhere and decided to do a different style of training. He did the nessecary hand seal and used the shadow clone jutsu making 10 clones to finish his training. After a few hours, Ryoushi had mastered this new jutsu.
