Link to previous training:

The dreadful lasting stroll to the training field, located in a mysteries country with funny people was pounding pains on my feet and ankles. I barely could stand and my stomach was growling from hunger. I wanted to kill myself right there, but something told me to stride forward. I continue walking until a seen a figure from afar....

He waited. The man garbed in black, with a large-brimmed straw-hat and a cloth mask over his face. He stood quite short, and with a hunched back, but he was quite distinguishable from the surrounding area; desert, surrounded by large rocks. A black speck, almost like a fly on a golden canvas. Art of a lesser nature, perhaps, but now was not the time for low-quality art; now was the time for true, eternal Art. As the man approached the hunch-backed figure, he grinned beneath his layers used to hide himself.
Greetings, I shall be your teacher in my famed Puppetry techniques.
I don't even know why I'm helping this kid...
the man thought. It's not like he's anyone special, anyone of power enough to force me to help him...
If you could please provide me with all of the text-book knowledge you should have learned from your last teacher, so that I know where you're at, and then summon for me your puppets, we may begin once you have done that.

The wind was calm that day, not like the other day when there was a sandstorm. Looking about, the hunchbacked man examined the large rocks surrounding him, thinking about the best way to utilize their surroundings during training.
Perhaps I could use that technique... he thought, his mind focused on items completely irrelevant to everything until the man who had come so far for training responded.

"You are the man I suppose to rendezvous with....?" Kichiro thought. "Sasori, I presume?" Kichiro stares at your canvas of a body. "How pathetic of a teacher. I am weak and you ask to see my strength. If anything, you treat me to a meal from my long journey, but If you insist on knowing it is me and not a fake.... " Kichiro thought with disdain. "I would give insight of my view of instruments known as marionette...."

"Puppetry is a fight style. Invented for entertainment purpose by Monzaemon Chikamatsu..." Kichiro takes a sit on the ground. "It was later converted for fighting by using chakra to construct strings and weaponry hidden it varies compartment within its body. The Puppet Brigade, founded by Chiyo, fashion the puppets in a manner that for extends earlier skills and manipulation (e.i being able to control multiple puppets with each finger index at a time or chakra alone)....." Kichiro goes on and on about Puppets and finally prepares to demonstrate what he has previous learned. He stand up and removes three scrolls.

"All-in-all, here are the puppets of what my previous master gave me. He explain to me the use of the three from basic maneuvering to advance maneuvering and other functions of puppet usage without the need of puppets. I was able to grasp the understanding once a failed at not using all three simultaneously. Here. Watch....." he unravel the scroll and place them onto the ground side by side. He performed the "Tiger" hand-seal, summoning the three puppets Salamander, Ant, and Crow. The puppets were in front of him. He performed another hands-seal, creating a replica of himself which was conjured adjacent to him. The clone bound out in front of him mid-range. It stood there awaiting the originals move.

"All the pieces are set" Kichiro muttered. He extend chakra threads from his ten index fingers which each attach to the three puppets. Adjusting his hands to control the puppets joints and movements, his control was on Crow, whom he sent out first in a fast spiraling spin maneuver (for confusion) in front of the clone to be in position to launch a smoke bomb from his mouth. The smoke was to conceal Kichiro's presence and mist the area. The smoke also was to provide cover for Kichiro so that he can get to long-range. At long-range, he maneuver Salamander to the front and a forward thrust at the clone's frontal to push him back. He also simultaneously maneuver Crow into the air, while maneuvering Ant below. Adjusting his hands again, wiggling and twitching at rapid speeds, he call back Salamander to long-range inner boundary for mid-range protection, during that time as the clone is on the ground, he emerges Ant from the ground with its chest-cavity open to capture the target. As the target is subdue by Ant, locking its chest-cavity to prevent escape, Crow separates is joints in the sky to fuse with Ant. Hidden sharp blades are revealed from Crow once it is separated. This blades are protrude from the outer body of Ant, to be guided to open holes, stabbing the clone from within.


Note: I have skip a lot of the lesson Alternative has given me. If you want, you can refer to the link to get a gest of what I left off on. I was mostly done with the lesson and was ready to be taught the techniques of puppetry.

As the man speaks of being weak, Sasori could only sigh.
Pathetic.
Allowing his shell's mouth to drop, a smoke-bomb shot from its mouth, releasing a powerful poison in the form of mist around the boy who was complaining.

Continue with your explanation. A battle cares not whether you're strong or weak; it seeks only to kill you. Will you allow yourself to fall prey to death; will you allow your Art to be destroyed!?

Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The puppet will open its mouth and shoot out smoke balls that are imbued with poison as well. This can be used to obscure the enemy’s vision and to spread poisonous gas in the area at the same time.


Sasori then listened. After hearing the explanation, he watched the man attempt to control his puppets. Being a master of puppetry himself, it was very difficult to watch. Closing one eye and willing one to remain open, Sasori watched as the man's puppets fumbled around, attempting to perform many separate techniques at once. Why this man was attempting to control three puppets at once while being a novice, he would not understand.
That's quite enough. Get over here.
Allowing his wrist to open up, Sasori pulled a root from the arm of his shell, and handed it to the boy he was teaching.
Bite down on it; it'll secrete a substance that, while not an antidote, will stop the poison from spreading as you ingest it. Now, as I watched you, it's clear that you can connect chakra strings to a puppet and control it. But you're still learning; don't attempt three at once right now. Additionally, performing moves like you were trying... We'll need some work here.
Now that first thing you tried...

Sending chakra threads out from his hand, Sasori connected the to already-summoned crow and began to manipulate it.

Rank: D
Type: Attack/Defense/Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 10(-4 each turn its used after wards)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user makes threads of chakra that are used to control puppets.


You were going for something like this, right?
Crow then leapt into the air, hovering there under the influence of Sasori's chakra. Sasori then caused Crow's limbs to extend outwards, straightening completely, and then caused the puppet to spin rapidly. As it spun, Crow's limbs flailed with the motion, and as Sasori brought Crow down to the ground to strike the shield on Salamander's back, its limbs were pushed back to create a cone-like surface for the air around Crow to flow around. The shape, in addition to the rotational force, allowed Crow to disperse the air before it easily, allowing it to move faster than if it were being maneuvered normally. As the torpedo-like projectile crashed into the stationary Salamander, the puppet gave way and its belly hit the sand, sending up a large dust cloud as Sasori severed his chakra threads.

Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user manipulates Crow to bolt towards the enemy and begin spinning, striking them with a rotational force.
Note: Can only be used by a Suna puppet user


That technique was specially made for Crow so that he could trick the enemy by manipulating its body in such a way that the air resistance on it becomes less, and as such can move faster than normal, causing a slow response from the enemy. The mechanics behind it are simple enough; you simply point the top of Crow's head towards your target, while his body is assembled, and then cause him to spin on an axis which runs from his head to his bottom. This horizontal rotation then both adds speed and power to the impact Crow makes. Why don't you try it, manipulating only one puppet this time, pouring all of your focus to him. Afterwards, you can explain to me the drawbacks to a technique like this, and how to utilize it effectively.
Just to be clear, in that move you used a lot of Puppet Ninjutsu techniques you weren't taught, in addition to not posting the technique you were taught (the puppets themselves and the threads). This is why I said you were stumbling; you still need to be taught everything before you can use it properly.
