Of course, there's nothing to think about taking the art of kugutsu on board - it's something you learn from childhood for many years and the secrets of creation and control are passed down through generations in practicing families or from teacher to student, otherwise, the jonin of the puppeteer from Suna would have demanded the return of the trophies long ago.
I don't remember much of anything except the main events of the story, but the records of some of the most notable personalities in the shinobi world describe some absolutely mind-blowing things that Elder Chiyo and her grandson Sasori did with the art of kugutsu.
Taking the dead corpse of a kekkei genkai wielder and turning it into a fighting puppet, using all the powers available while alive? Leave only the heart in a sealed cylinder and still be alive and able to fight at the level of elite shinobi?
Use hundreds of puppets at a time as a small army? Give puppets the ability to use natural force shields? Resurrect the recently deceased by paying with your own life, and without the help of a Shinigami? Things that sound amazing to even the strongest shinobi turn out to be quite realistic for high skill level kugutsu users.
A fusion of iryojutsu and fuinjutsu with a unique twist, if I'm not mistaken, promises some very tempting possibilities. I've learned how to use captive enemies myself, using knowledge from my former life, but how to stay alive with almost all of my body destroyed, including my brains, if you're not a priest of Jiaxin, I can't imagine.
Of course, I doubt that the genin's crafts can surprise me, but we have to start somewhere, don't we? And now the Chunin will learn something and maybe even adopt it.
- Good afternoon, sensei, - the girls greeted me with a small bow, overcoming the protection of the area on my nod.
After formally surrendering the command, I removed their chakra from the list of people who could pass through the protected area unhindered.
- Hello to you, too," I nodded back and waved for them to follow.
