Takeda had aspirations of one day becoming a Shinobi Hunter, so he might as well start now. After a quick check of the Bingo Book always handy around his house he had his mark. This one would most likely require stealth to defeat, as he was a medic and therefore ridiculously strong.

Stealth would be hard to achieve with a clattering puppet trying to move about so he would work on silencing the damn thing before moving to find this guy. To begin Takeda moved each joint separately to see which ones made the most noise, or if they made a noise at all, and it turned out that the knees were particularly noisy. In fact, the whole damn thing made some kind of noise with each twitch of his adept fingers, so it was best to start where it was worst. A few random handsigns would fly out from Takedas wrists and he focused his chakra, concentrating on the idea of being completely soundless, and sent the surge of built up chakra to the joints in question. Immediately after the surge landed and held it's place in the knee joints Takeda commanded them to flex, lo and behold they were significantly quieter than before. After a few more tries to really refine just how much chakra would be needed to completely silence the noisy joints he was satisfied at the perfectly serene quiet coming from Shigeros knees.

Next on his list might as well be the rest of the legs, seeing as every joint on the puppet was exceedingly creaky, but it would take a different concentration of chakra for each individual joint. With the knees perfectly silenced Takeda moved on to the ankles, where after repeating the same process of handsigns and expulsions as before, he coated the joint with a decent amount of the spiritual energy. Although it turned out to be too much chakra, as he found himself unable to command the ankle to move in any direction, the knee apparently took far more chakra to be silenced than the ankle. Completely rethinking his strategy he dispelled the chakra on Shigeros knee joints and decided to start over by coating the entire lower half of the body in an even amount of the precious chakra. Several handsigns and multiple failed attempts later found him with a smooth, even coat of energy surrounding the legs of Shigero and total silence coming from that area as well.

Chakra would continue to expand, continue to spread its silencing tendrils until it completely engulfed the entire form of Shigero, but it was a slow and arduous process, as most techniques are the first time learned. The next target in the chakras unstoppable silencing march was the puppets shoulder joints, which would in turn make it easier for the elbows, wrists and finger joints to be silenced. Now, as then, Takeda began formulating the perfect concoction of chakra levels needed to muffle the colliding puppet parts and experimentally applying his discoveries to the joint that fell under his scrutiny. Shrugging the shoulders and rotating the arms would only reveal each and every time how far Takeda was from perfecting this technique, but when he finally got it right and no sound emerged from the moving puppet parts he felt confident enough to move the sound canceling wave of chakra down both arms and even up the neck to silence the puppets jaw and neck joints.

The puppet itself may have been silenced but it was brought to Takedas attention that the extendable blades still clicked and grated whenever he commanded them to alter their position, so the obvious answer to this would be to move on to those two little annoyances. First, the extendable blades, using the chakra already surrounding and silencing the rest of Shigeros duel sets of arms he needed only to cause the chakra to penetrate the mechanism attached to the weapons. An easy enough task, but just like before he needed to recalibrate the chakra needed across the entire arm to compensate for the new area needing to be covered. Now with a few quick twitches of his dexterous fingers Takeda commanded the blades in and out of their holsters within Shigeros wrists, becoming extremely satisfied with himself that he had accomplished total weapon silence.

"Tsugime Jiten" (Joint Rotation)
Rank: E ranked
Skill: Ninjutsu, supplementary.
Effect: Parts of puppet can rotate
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The puppeteer channels chakra strings into a specific limb/body part of puppet. The joints and mechanism within that chosen part can spin or rotate very quickly. This is useful in adding additional damage to a weapon (such as blades) or used defensively (if someone attempted to latch onto the said body part).
Limit: Must be puppeteer.

Finally, something easy, a nice simple E-rank. Takeda wasn't in the mood for a difficult training but couldn't ignore the necessity of perpetual practice, so this would do for now.

To begin he simply commanded the puppet to raise its upper right arm out in front of it, pointing to something apparently only it could see, and began to swing the limb back and forth. Steadily the arm would increase its arc and speed until it followed a full one-hundred eighty degree downward path. Takedas target was three-hundred sixty degrees but the joint seemed to not want to continue on, however with a bit more chakra flowing from his strings into the joint itself it began visibly increasing the total angle of its arc. First to two-hundred seventy degrees and then making painfully slow progress until he finally acquired the coveted three-hundred sixty degree shoulder rotation. Takeda repeated this process down the same arm numerous times, with each joint individually including the fingers, until the entire upper right arm could spin at his will. Shigero had four arms, so Takeda would have to do the same thing for each of them. Ending with the head and legs Takeda finally believed he had mastered this simple technique.

After apparently finishing the technique that started off so simple Takeda found himself unable to replicate his results when he tried again, indicating he had to go back and do it all again. Instead of gradually increasing the arc of a swinging arm, which hadn't helped in the slightest, Takeda would have to make the rotation instant and quick. He commanded the puppet to extend its upper right arm so that it rested perpendicular with the rest of his body and tried to make it twist in place, only going about as far as Takeda himself could flex his wrist. This revelation that the puppet could only turn as far as Takedas fingers and wrists could bend brought new light to the situation, and a new strategy to his ever-adaptive mind. With another twist of his wrist, this time coupled with a quick surge of chakra from his strings, Takeda hoped to make the outstretched limb spin in place. When it worked out the way Takeda wanted it to he was immensely taken aback, nothing ever went the way it was supposed to, nothing ever went the way he planned. Yet, here he was staring at the result of what seemed to him a travesty of nature. Remembering how well this worked and the principal behind it he deemed himself able to adapt to the rest of the limbs if he needed to.

Trembling Puppet
Rank: E-ranked
Skill: Ninjutsu, supplementary
Effect: (see below)
Special: Chakra strings usage.
Drawback: (see below)
Description: At the will of the puppeteer, selected puppet(s) begins to shake, rattle, quiver and vibrate very fast. Individual body parts or the entire puppet may tremble at the command of the puppeteer. Though this may not seem to be very useful at all, it does suite have its purposes.
A puppet becomes much more difficult to grasp, a puppets attacks can deal additional damage (like moving a knife while in a wound), this maybe used as a scare tactic, the list goes on…
Limit: Must be a puppeteer

The other technique that Takeda assumed would be easy turned out to take longer than he thought, so he wouldn't underestimate this one, not again. With joints able to be rotated at his command Takeda moved on to being able to quiver the entire puppet.

How to begin? As always, Shigeros upper right arm would be the subject for Takedas often ill-fated experiments. Extending it out to the right side, perpendicular to the rest of the puppets body just like it always starts off, Takeda tried the first thing that came to his mind. He raised and lowered the finger that controlled the upper right arm in quick succession, as fast as he could force his finger to fibrillate, which seemed to work for a while until Takeda realized something. While the puppets arm was quivering just as he wished it to, it appeared to be lacking sufficient enough force to be useful for anything, so to test this Takeda kept shaking his finger and walked up to grab hold of the unstable extremity. Sure enough the arm immediately held still as soon as an outside force was applied to it, and despite his best efforts and strongest finger movements the arm would simply not continue quivering.

It was time for a new strategy, Takeda walked backwards to his original position behind Shigero and focused his attention on the entire puppet at once. Instead of trying to forcibly shake the puppet with physical movements Takeda decided on a subtler yet more sure-fire way of getting what he wanted accomplished. A surge of chakra sent down each and every string connected to his fingers, causing the entire puppet to jump as if startled by something, confirmed Takedas suspicions that chakra was the answer he was looking for. Another shorter surge of chakra followed immediately by one of equal size and strength would help to further affirm Takedas hypothesis by twitching violently twice in tune with the surges of chakra. The only thing left to do now was to master the art of fibrillating the intensity of the chakra being sent down his strings, which turned out to take only a little practice before he finally got it right.
