Kugustu Kawarimi (Puppet Replacement Technique)
Rank: C
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: Replaces the user with a puppet, usually moving him out of harm's way.
Special: Requires no hand seals
Drawback: If not careful, the user can place himself into a dangerous situation. It has a maximum range of fiteen feet.
Description: By using the conection between the puppet and the puppet master, the chakra string, the user can perform a sort of advanced Kawarimi that requires no handseals. It is faster than a normal replacement jutsu because the user can move himself and the targeted puppet at the same time as opposed to moving to a target and moving that target back to his original position. It can give the user an advantage when utilized in a surprise attack.
Limit: Must know Kugutsu no Jutsu (Puppet Technique)

Leon decided that he and Noel needed to step up their game. As it was they really didn't have to many jutsu so in case this intruder they were going after decided to start a fight Leon needed to make sure he could get out of harms way if the shinobi they were going to face outranked him. Even though the jutsu that Leon had in mind was a very selfish one, it was still one that should be learned to use in the worst case senerio. Leon pulled out one of the scrolls he had brought with him. His father made it for him before he left. It outlined several Puppet Jutsus that his father thought would help him down the road. Leon stared down at the scroll for a second feeling a bit of guilt in his decision not to go back to Konoha. He would really miss his family even if he didn't spend much time with them, it was their way of life that made him what he was. Leon looked over at Noel then opened the scroll.

This Jutsu that Leon was looking for would be perfect if his opponent could get past Noel to attack Leon directly. The jutsu is called the "Kugustu Kawarimi" it was specifically developed for Puppeteers. It was an advanced form of the Kawarimi Jutsu using the puppet as the substitute making the switch faster as the puppeteer can swap positions twice as fast. In Leons' eyes this would be a horrible thing to do because it would mean that Noel would get hurt but it would save his life if the occasion called for it. The technique was rather simple to pull off it was really just a Kawarimi.

Leon stretched out a bit moving to where there was a little bit more room. Now perfecting this jutsu would be very repetitive as Leon saw it but it would be worth it. To start things off Leon tried performing the Kawarimi a couple of times just to get used to the manuver. It had been some time since he had used that jutsu. He did it about a dozen times more just moving out of his position and grabbing Noel and putting him back in his place without moving Noel with the chakra strings. Leon noticed that when using the Kawarimi since it was at high speeds there would be very little time to move Noel into his position and get out of the way. And there would deffinitly be no room to make a mistake. Leon tried to use the Kawarimi several more times but every time he would use it he and Noel would separate another meter or so. Soon Leon was using the Kawarimi at about ten meters. All of the high speed movement was starting to take its toll on Leon he was starting to breath a little deeper and the slight gleam of sweat could be seen on his brow.

The Kawarimi was a very basic jutsu by itself and it was now about time to start trying to use the "Kugustu Kawarimi". Leon and Noel stepped closer together and Leon made his first attempt at the jutsu. It was rather sloppy as just when he passed Noel they bumped slightly and Leon almost lost his footing. Moving by himself at that speed was no problem at all though when he did he never moved Noel at the same time. Leon could move Noel at the same speed if not faster then he could move himself. But the problem was that when he tried to move Noel when he himself was in motion it proved to be a little harder then he had expected. Leon tried again, this time he managed to get past Noel without any contact but he got into position before Noel had even turned around which would be a problem. Once again he tried dashing in Noels direction as Noel moved swiftly by him. Once again he failed in using the jutsu in the correct manor. Leon and Noel did stop moving at the same time but Noel wasn't standing exactly where he was supposed to be.

They did it again and again trying to get the movments down just right. Leon had no clue that this would actually be hard to do. It was one thing to move yourself and put something in your place but it was actually a challenge to move ones self and your puppet at the same time at such high speeds. Leon was starting to slow down a bit. He was starting to get a little tired but he would have to push through it and get this Jutsu down as quickly as he could he didn't want to spend to much time here. He couldn't forget that he wasn't part of this village just yet. Standing around wouldn't be the smartest thing he could do. They got back to it attempting the jutsu a couple more times Leon could move past Noel now without touching him at all but for some reason he couldn't get the movement down just right.

Leon was now sweating as though he had been running in the sun for hours. The movements were ones that Leon was not used to, the majority of the time his training consisted of just moving Noel around. He was really getting a work out today. Leon stopped for a couple of minutes and went to get a drink at a stream that he had passed on the way here. He crouched down to take drink Noel standing by him, it looked as though he was looking around. Leon wanted to make it seem as though Noel was not a puppet to anyone that was looking at them from a distance. Leon was not a native to these parts and without Seito here with him he would have to try to be as careful as possible "You know this is going to take us a little while to get down. Hopefully we will finish before Seito gets back we can't leave this unfinished we need it before we follow through with that test the Mizukage has given us." "You're just trying to save your own neck. I know we need to get back to training you're the one that stopped for a drink. You don't see me wasting my time do you?" Leon shook his head as he stood up and walked past Noel back to the open space they were standing in.

Leon had thought about something. He was trying to move Noel and himself at the exact same time. Of course this is the way this could be done but Leon realized that he could move Noel faster then he could move himself because Noel was moved just by chakra alone there was no fatigue and no flaws to worry about. Of course unless he was damaged. But right now that wasn't the case. He could move him faster then himself so he decided to try this jutsu at a different angle. Leon set himself about two meters away from Noel and tried the jutsu again.

His theory was that if he moved slower then Noel he could do this jutsu in two parts first moving himself out of the way then putting Noel where he was this way they would finish at the same time and hopefully it would work and be easier then what he was trying to do. The first attempt proved that this method worked a lot more then the way he was trying before. Leon waited until he was just about two steps out of his position to start Noels movement, he stepped by Noel at about the same spot as before but since he was able to start his movement first he was a little more coordinated and was able to get into position with enough time to see Noel to put him where he was supposed to be. It was done a little slower then Leon would have liked but it worked. At least it seemed like it so Leon was happy and he tried it again. He deffinitly thought this way was easier he was able to do it a little faster that time and he didn't mess it up.

Now Leon had the basic movement down he had to try to see just how reliable this would be. Leon looked around on the ground. He found a decent sized rock and picked it up. He wanted to make sure he could complete this jutsu in an instant without fault. Leon bouned the rock in his hand a couple times only letting it come about six inches off. Then he threw it up slightly making it go about a foot higher then his hand level. He tried to use the Kugustu Kawarimi in time to catch the rock. He stepped out from under the rock watching it almost as if in slow motion then Noel darted into his postion as he stepped back. The rock had just slipped by Noels open palm when Noel stopped moving. Leon was a little dissapointed he thought he would be able to get it on his first try. He used the "Ningyoumawashi no jutsu" to pick up the rock and bring it over to him. He tired again. This time he cheated a little by throwing it a little higher then the first time but he was still able to get Noel into position well before the rock came down.

He was starting to get the jutsu a little more now he would just need to fine tune it a bit and make sure that he could use it effectivley. Leon went through the same exercise a couple more times before he was sure he could do this within a moments notice. Now he wanted to try something a little more serious. Leon took out a Kunai and threw it to Noel. He caught it with his finger in the look spun it around a couple times then threw it up and caught it in his palm. Leon was going to attempt to have Noel throw the Kunai then use the Kugustu Kawarimi to have Noel catch it before it reached the spot where Leon was standing. Leon took a deep breath then crouched down a little ready to get out of the way they were about ten meters away from each other at this point.

Leons fingers moved slowly under his sleeves as Noel pulled his arm back then threw the Kunai aimed at Leons right shoulder. Leon began his movement when the Kunai was at about three meters away. Leon stepped past the Kunai in mid air as Noel seemed to glide in the opposite direction. By the time Noel was in the spot Leon had previously been standing the Kunai was only feet away. Noel lifted his right hand just in time as the tip of the Kunai was centimeters away from embeding itself in his shoulder. Leon looked moved closer, it seemes he could move almost at the right speed he just needed a little more practice then he would be saticfied with it.

Leon stopped for a couple of minutes to take a breather. He was starting to really feel tired now. He would have to be sure and finish this soon he would need a little time to rest before he confronted the intruder that he was sent out to intercept. Leon was standing in the middle of the clearing as he heard footsteps coming from his left. Leon turned his head and saw it was a young mist ninja from the looks of him he must have still been about at academy level. He wasn't wearing a headband but that really didn't mean much either. "Hey who are you two, what are you doing here I've never seen you around here before?" Leon was standing between Noel and the boy and Noel stepped up to speak. "We are travelers from across the sea, we have come to join your village. We've talked to your Kage there's no reason for you to be worried." Leon tried to make him seem polite he didn't want to offend any of the people of this village before he even gets accepted. The boy didn't seem to happy either way and reached back behind him. Leon thought he could have been reaching for a weapon and spoke up.

[Kusa's Vine]

"Listen we're not here for a fight really we mean no harm." Leon took a step closer and the boy backed away he still didn't buy it . "Stay back! I'm a shinobi don't think I wont attack to defend my village." Leon had an idea, he could use this to his advantage. "How about this, I wont attack you. But I'll give you three shots at me. If you could land one blow I'll leave no questions asked. How about that?" The boy wasn't expecting this but he looked like he was willing to fight to the death anyway. "This is an unfair fight It's two on one." Leon made Noel lift his cloak and the boy realized he was a puppet. He crouched down and dashed forward to attack Leon. He was pretty fast for such a young person. Leon stood still not trying to get out of the way. The boy was feet away and he pulled a Kunai from behind him and tried to jab it at Leon. There was a slight flicker and Noel took Leons place. The Kunai slightly embeded itself in the thigh of Noel. The boy looked up with a confused look on his face. Leon was standing behind him.

"Come on I said hit me not him. That's one." Noel swung his arm sending the boy onto his back. Noel took out the Kunai. It only went in a few centimeters. Obviously the boy wasn't very strong. Noel threw the Kunai to the floor it landed right by the boys head. He jumped up and spun around grabbing the Kunai running at Leon, he threw several Shuriken at him followed by the Kunai. This boy was really trying to take him down. Leon notced they werent sent directly for him but off to the sides. At the last second he saw the wire atatched to them. This kid was good. Leon used the Kugustu Kawarimi again. Noel was wrapped by the wire. Leon appeared on the side of the Kunai just before it made contact and stopped it with a finger through the loop at the end. He quickly cut through the wire as the boy came running at him one more time. "That's two" The boy looked enraged now that he couldn't land a hit. This was his final attempt Leon thought he should give him a little hope. He let the boy get about a foot away as he jumped into the air spinning to land a kick.

Leon used the Kugustu Kawarimi one last time. Noel caught the boy by the foot. Spinning at the hip he threw the boy at a tree. He reached out his hands and caught himself before he smashed into it. Leon and Noel were gone before the boy turned to attack again. They didn't want to hurt the kid.

Seito made his way towards the training field. Before he’d head out towards the mission he’d need to train first. He’d only learn one genjutsu move throughout his shinobi profession; it was time to progress further. Walking into the training field he began to sit down upon a trunk that seemed to be knocked over, from another person training Seito thought.

He’d been waiting for the trainer to come, having called him earlier. Where is that guy?! Seito asked himself placing his right arm under his chin as his elbow rested upon his knee. Directly after that movement a sound could be heard behind him, he’d look behind himself slightly stunned by his trainer. “How did you get behind me without me noticing?!” Seito asked the trainer quick responded “Genjutsu”.

Seito’s widened as he thought about the possibilities. He’d learned how useful Ninjutsu could aid in Taijutsu now he learned that genjutsu would be essential as well. “What did you want me to teach you?” the trainer asked. Seito said calmly “A genjutsu… Though, I need to learn it quickly, I only have an hour…” said Seito.

The trainer raised his hand to chin as he thought for a moment “Hmm, only an hour… It depends on what Genjutsu you actually are looking for….” Said the trainer, he’d then lower his arm looking at Seito “What’re you going up against?” asked the trainer. “Well, we have a potential threat to the village in our country, I’ve heard that there is another shinobi accompanying him, possibly a missing shinobi” Seito said.

The trainer thought for a moment as he’d say “I have a jutsu just for this situation, Jellyfish technique!” the trainer said as Seito gave him a look as if he weren’t being serious “Jellyfish technique?” Seito responded. “Yes… The name may sound lame… Though trust me, it’s well worth the training!” said the trainer.

Seito sighed, nodding “Alright… So where do I begin?” Seito asked. “Alright, this technique causes the user to feel weak in their muscles… like a jelly fish look effect… disabling their ability to move quick or really dodge… This can be used both offensively and defensively!” the trainer said. “Hmm, sounds useful, let’s get to work, don’t worry about chakra control I’ve nearly mastered that…” Seito said.

“Alright, you’ll need to form the following hand seal” said the trainer forming each seal as he spoke “Ox, Dragon, Monkey, Ram, and Tiger… Then you must channel your chakra towards the victim and trap them in the Genjutsu” the trainer said as Seito took mental notes. “Alright, I’ll try!” Seito said standing up as the trainer leaped backwards “Now try it on me!” the trainer said.

Seito seconds later formed the hand seals as he repeated the order in his mind Ox, Dragon, Monkey, Ram, and Tiger he said to himself completing the hand seals as a flow of chakra flowed towards the trainer trapping him in the Genjutsu immediately. Seito watched closely his face look aggravated not seeing any results.

Two seconds later his trainer began to wobble Seito would charge at him attempting to punch as he’d attempt to side step though wobbled onto the ground, a wrong move that would get a normal shinobi killed in real battle. The trainer pulled out a kunai stabbing himself in the leg as the Genjutsu dispersed. “Good… I heard you’re a medical shinobi, mind patching me up?” the trainer said.

Seito sighed saying “Sure” as he’d heal the trainer’s wound and place a bandage upon it, seconds later he thanked the trainer it’d been forty minutes now and time for Seito to head the village gate to complete the mission with Leon. This hopefully won’t end bloody, I don’t want a war to begin over this small ordeal he said to himself.
