Home Naruto Jutsus Kankuro Kugutsu no Jutsu (Puppet Technique)

Name: Kugutsu no Jutsu, 傀儡の術, literally "Puppet Technique", Viz Art of the Puppet Master
Type: C-rank, Offensive, Defensive, Supplementary, Close to mid-range (0-10m)
Users: Kankurō, Sasori, Chiyo, Monzaemon Chikamatsu

Just like a marionette, the user controls a puppet using strings of chakra from his fingers. This skill is often prepared in coordination with Kawarimi no Jutsu (Change of Body Technique), so the user can quickly replace their body with the puppet when they feel the need to activate it. Another useful quality of this skill is the fact that the puppet can take the form of another person, object, or, more commonly, the form of the user. Puppets are fitted with various hidden devices, most commonly extendable blades, various projectile launchers, and poison, both in gaseous form and liquid coating their weapons. This technique can also be adapted to control humans as if they were puppets, or another puppeteer's puppets.
