    Kiyoshi was not use to the position Airi had given him, but he would accept it fully and not complain. It would seem that while he was away another puppet user had risen in the ranks of the leaf, the one she called Nakaba. He didn't know much about the man other than what she had told him about the man, he was recruited from Iwagakure, he was a crafter, and a puppet user. That was about it. While she wanted him to teach this Nakaba in the ways of crafting to help the man excel in his craft, it was the puppetry that truly piqued his interest in the man. There would be time enough for him to show Nakaba the ins and outs of crafting later, but with the chuunin exams around the corner, Kiyoshi was far more interested in the other man's puppetry skill. If he could help the man get further in the exams than he would have on his own, or even possibly win the exams, well that would look good on him as the man's sensei of sorts. That said, he also wanted to ensure, that the man did not embarrass puppeteers by losing early on in the exams. A test of the man's skill would determine if he needed Kiyoshi's guidance, and if he did where he needed it. Kiyoshi was well known for his own ability with puppets and had made coined quite a few techniques that he believed could help the other man, but first he needed to figure out where the man's skill truly lied and for that he would have to put the man through the gauntlet.

    Kiyoshi would wear his mobility suit v2 with its helmet retracted as he waited for Nakaba to arrive, his hands would be adorned with eight golden rings each of which would contain one of his puppets ready to be summoned when he touched the ring that held it. Zamasu would be sitting under the shade of a tree not far from where Kiyoshi stood waiting, but far enough that he wouldn't get in the way when the training began. Yuko and Enmei were out exploring the village, considering that this was their first time within it and Akimitsu was at his usual post of guarding the Menagerie. When they first returned to the village, Kiyoshi tried to persuade the Senju to go and visit his family, but Zamasu would refuse to leave Kiyoshi's side and Kiyoshi had since given up trying to convince him otherwise. As long as Zamasu remained out of the way of him doing what he needed to do, he would not complain, and the pleasant conversation that Zamasu offered from time to time did not hurt either. Kiyoshi would be swaying slightly out of boredom as he waited for Nakaba to arrive, all the while wondering how skilled this Nakaba was and what Kiyoshi could teach the man, if anything.

    It was rare that Nakaba wasn’t early, but unfortunately for this first impression Nakaba wasn’t going to be able to even be on time. He was working at the construction site at the gates when he heard the bells ring. His eyes went wide as he dropped a bag of cement mix. “I’m so sorry! I am late.” Nakaba would sprint back home hoping that he could get to the training facility on time. I’m never late. He’s going to getbthe wrong impression. Dammit. He grit his teeth audibly. He would arrive home and switch into his orange jumpsuit, change his boots, and tie his headband around his neck. All prepared he he’d run out the door. The camera would wait still watching the door. Ten seconds would pass. Thirty seconds would pass. One minute. Two minutes later, Nakaba would sprint back through the door. Sending chakra string to Path Inquirers 1 and 2, He’d have them gear up. 1 would grab a giant war tessen. 2 would grab five swords strapping four to their waist and tossing a fifth that Nakaba would catch in his teeth. He’d do the rest of his prep on the way.


    A hulking figure 8 feet tall with what appeared to be a wide brimmed circular shield for a hat would arrive to the Training facility two and a half minutes early. To a keen eye this armor and leather covered figure had joints that weren’t quite right for a human, and chakra strings could be seen stretching from the base of its shadow to the bottom of its leg armor. Ising the sensory technique Nakaba would see a purple chakra in the place he was supposed to be meeting with puppet strings attached to, presumably, a puppet that surrounded it. Approaching, The puppet would speak in a voice unrecognizable as Nakaba’s. Path Inquirer I, Steady, would greet Kiyoshi. “I apologize for getting here so close to the meeting time. I am Nakaba. I was told you were going to mentor me.” Steady would bow the giant fan visible on its back as it did.


    Puppet Tech -3 [Kugutsu cost debuff (UA)]
    Hiding in shadows -5
    Chakra strings -10 [Kugutsu cost debuf (UA)]
    Sensory Tech -.5

    Kiyoshi would eye the puppet as it moved towards him, it did not take sensory for him to know that the puppeteer was not within the hulking figure, not that Kiyoshi had sensory to begin with. The puppet was impressive, if not a little under built, but the size of it reminded him of his Goliath. As the puppet arrived in front of him and the voice would resonate from it, a smile would cross Kiyoshi's face. It seemed as though his student had his own way of ventriloquism, which was a good start, but he was hiding in the shadow of the puppet from the look of the chakra strings which was a disappointing first impression. If the man wasn't even willing to show his face to his sensei, how was his sensei going to teach him the tricks that he knew. Kiyoshi would push those thoughts aside for now and instead change his tactic, there was something else that he could do to test the man.

    "I see you have come prepared, that is good." Kiyoshi would start as his puppet armor helmet would form around his head and he activated the eight rings on his fingers and called forth all eight of his puppets from within. Appearing in a small cluster around him, eight puppets of various sizes would all appear in a puff of smoke. Goliath his largest puppet would be directly behind him, and Mini-Mi his smallest puppet directly in front of him with three of the other six puppets on either side of him. A wolf on each side of Mini-Mi, Kenro and Strider on his left, Chitora and Yami on his right. His chakra strings would attach to each of the puppets and Kiyoshi would go to work, small twitches from his fingers would bring the puppets to life as he entered his Violet Formation Style. Normally he would only use three puppets, but he wanted to show Nakaba the full strength of his skills. He wouldn't attack just yet, this was more of a flex just to see how the other man would react.

    The genin would solidify from Path Inquirer 1's shadow. Orange jumpsuit, and a katana on his hip, he'd pull the other Path Inquirer out with him. He had an almost too excited grin on his face as he looked at all of the puppets in front of him as well as Kiyoshi with his helmet down. "You're a high ranking ninja right?" Thinking for a moment before speaking, the question would continue, the excitement now audible in his voice too. "Are you saying I can go all out?" Similarly Nakaba and his Path Inquirers would get into a low stance as they awaited Kiyoshi's response. The swordsman puppet would have one arm on each side available for use, and the taller heftier looking one would have its other four arms pull out from behind its cloak. Nakaba had descended into something between a tiger stance and a horse stance. If Kiyoshi were wanting Nakaba to show his, stuff Nakaba was eager and ready to prove himself to a superior.

    Kiyoshi let out a small chuckle at the other male's comment of going all out, "oh yes. I want you to show me everything you got." Kiyoshi would reply before the two wolf puppets would suddenly shift and turn into large balls that would spin at a rapid pace before charging at Nakaba and his puppets as Kiyoshi activated their 'Roll Out' Function. Normally, the speed of his puppets would move much faster than they currently were, but with him having them all out it divided his attention slightly even if the other puppets weren't currently moving The rapid spinning balls that were the twin wolf puppets, would fire off like cannon balls moving at A-Rank speed in a direct shot from where they were to where the other man stood with his puppets. The aim was not Nakaba but of the puppets that he had with him, the last thing Kiyoshi needed was to launch the puppets at the other man and him not be able to move out of the way in time and end up injured or worse. He would keep his other puppets on the defense around him, should Nakaba try to make a move against him.

    Nakaba's chakra would roar to life. While he was able to let loose, he probably had to use kugutsu techs. There was no way to know what Kiyoshi had up his sleeves, but he would start with standard anti puppeteer tactics. Kiyoshi hadn't moved from his original position, so Nakaba wouldn't either yet. Nakaba's two puppets would move in sync as they sprinted [A Rank speed] to each meet a respective wolf, clashing head on with a punch to meet the Wolf puppets head on. Kiyoshi had presumably lived in Konoha for some time now, so he should have been able to recognize that Nakaba's puppets were accurately performing the Strong Fist technique [inverted for B++ Str | A+ Crd] The punches' purposes were ideally to reduce the wolves momentum. Nakaba would immediately begin wasting chakra almost flinching as his chakra oozed out from the strings.

    The swordsman puppet would use two of fits hands to attempt to slow the wolves progress, while the bulkier puppet would begin a barrage of very basic punches aiming to simply break the puppet down by force, one hand trying to grasp onto some uneven part of its wolf. The swordsman puppet  Would throw two of its swords. One at the strings of its wolf, and the other at the strings of Nakaba's bulkier puppet's wolf. Nakaba would attempt to cleanly sever his enemy's strings, and his inquirers would move between Kiyoshi and the wolves. 30 meters away, half the maximum distance of the puppet strings technique. Each would pick up the sword that severed their wolf's string with an empty hand.

    Seeing the man move his puppets in a manner to intercept his wolves, Kiyoshi would adjust. Twitching his fingers causing the wolves to split off from the attack and circle around them, each one going off to their respected sides and avoiding the other man's puppets as well as keeping their strings out of the reach of their weapons. He was interested in seeing the man able to use such tactics with a puppet, he had studied the fighting styles of the leaf and modeled one of his puppets after that style but to see the puppet maneuver as if they were using the style themselves was a new sight for him. More twitches from his fingers would cause his other puppets to move and while the wolves split off from the attack, Kenro and Yami would lung forward from their position charging towards the two puppets of the other man. They wouldn't get within arm's reach of the puppets, ensuring that the puppets would not be able to reach them even with their weapons. Yami would release a cable from its chest cavity at the multi-armed puppet, its intention was to ensnare the arms so that the weapons it wielded would not be a problem before reeling it in towards it so that its blades could rip it apart. Kenro would perform an open palm punch at the air in front of him, releasing several bullets made of highly compressed air that would target the other puppet. Kiyoshi doubted that the bullets would do any real damage, but it was more to see how the other man would react to such an attack. Goliath's fist would raise up and fire off at each of the opposing puppets, the rocket fist moving at a high-speed towards the heads of the other puppets, covering the distance quickly without the puppet having to move from its position behind Kiyoshi. While this was happening the wolf puppets would each circle back around moving to strike at the puppet master out of the range of reprisal from the opposing puppets that would be dealing with the current attacks against them. The spinning force of the wolves would be enough to hurt the puppet master unless he moved out of the way or had another means of blocking the attack.

    He was seen through. Kiyoshi showed his experience as he had his wolf puppets swerve out of the way of Nakaba's Inquirers one and two would both begin to turn as two more of Kiyoshi's puppets began to join. Nakaba's eyes would open way wider as his field of view stopped being sufficient. With a twitch of his fingers his own puppets would turn to engage the ones charging at them. Inquirer 1 would reach on its back pulling off a giant war fan as it turned, using both hands it begin to send a barrage of gusts at Kenro holding its position and intentionally kicking up dust that would be  delivered with each swing. The swordsman puppet would take its two remaining swords and move into a defensive position. With a quick side step the swordsman puppet would brace against the extending hand, luckily matching its strength and bracing against the attack. Both puppets would be manuevering to dodge the fists flying at them.

    Nakaba would wait for the wolves acting as if he had no intention of moving. Once the dust was between himself and Kiyoshi, he'd reverify the timing on the wolves, leaping up as they got within range. This technique was not nearly as effective on humans, who lacked the spinning gears and levers of puppets. Just before he prepared to jump, Nakaba's movements would become erratic causing him to almost vanish behind the barrage of Dust. "Hidden Jutsu: Stitches." He would cast the jutsu two times selecting two targets: The swordsman puppet to Yami and Yami to itself to prevent movement of its gears. Nakaba would leap forward ideally landing meters away from where the wolves attempted to mow him down.

    Despite wishing to test the young puppeteer further, Kiyoshi would receive a call from Akimitsu over his radio and the puppet master would twitch his fingers and pull all of his puppets back to him before Goliath had lanched its fist. Quickly sealing his puppets back into his rings with the exception of Mini-Mi and Goliath, Kiyoshi would look to the man before him. "I am sorry, I must cut this short. Business to attend to, however I feel you will do well in the exams. Seek me out afterwards and we can discuss some training and also talk more." Kiyoshi would take the eight rings off his fingers, holding them out to Nakaba. "Take these, use them in the exams and then you can return them to me after you win. While your puppets are good, there is always the risk that they can be destroyed, with these you will have a few backups in the event that something happens to them. Two of these rings are empty so you can store your two puppets within for now if you like. I look forward to watching your performance in the exams." Kiyoshi would finish as he handed the rings over to Nakaba, without waiting for Nakaba to respond Kiyoshi would turn and walk away with his two remaining puppets and Zamasu. He was disappointed that he had to cut the training short, but unfortunately his business had to come first. He was sure from his assessment of Nakaba, that the man would do well in the exams. If his fighting ability was any indication of his crafting ability, then the man had a bright future ahead of him.

    Just as quickly as Kiyoshi, Nakaba would go from full steam to cool. With a deep sigh, he'd look to Kiyoshi with understanding as the other nin was being called away. Nakaba hadn't expected him to spend the entire day training, but he was a little disappointed that he was leaving so early. He understood the basics of what the ninja had taught him, and seeing the puppets in action was also incredibly helpful. He would spend time thinking on them and processing the infirmation that he had observed on their use. With no real way to practice after this practically, he would focus on theory and use his normal projection training. With a calm and open hand the genin gently received the gifts. He had a decent idea of what each one did, but only so far as his speculation carried him. The genin would smile and bow in gratitude for those advertisements. Once Kiyoshi left Nakaba would head out as well. "Thank you." He would take the puppets to his apartment. With a little research in the coming days Nakaba would begin to dissect Kiyoshi's notes to start figuring out the puppets.
