Te

The Te puppet is meticulously designed to emulate the size and proportions of a human hand, exhibiting an exceptional level of detail. Its construction employs lightweight yet durable materials, incorporating a combination of reinforced steel and specialized alloys to strike a balance between flexibility and strength. To enhance its realism, the surface of the hand is adorned with a synthetic skin-like material, carefully textured and painted to replicate the appearance of human flesh. The meticulous application of hues and shading imitates the nuances of natural muscle definition, further enhancing its lifelike quality. Shishiō conceived the Te puppet specifically to address the vulnerabilities that plague puppeteers who have not attained the status of living puppets.
Traditionally, a puppeteer is capable of generating a maximum of ten chakra threads, one for each finger. However, Te was ingeniously devised to amplify this capacity by utilizing a single thread from the puppeteer, thereby generating up to five additional threads from its articulated fingers. By strategically placing these puppets, a puppeteer gains the ability to control multiple creations simultaneously. In a tactical maneuver, unsuspecting adversaries who attempt to trace the threads back to the puppet master will unwittingly fall into a cunningly set trap.
==Functions==
Articulated Joints: The puppet hand features a complex system of articulating joints, allowing for fluid movement and precise manipulation. Each finger is equipped with multiple joints, providing a wide range of motion and dexterity. The joints are crafted with precision, enabling the hand to perform intricate tasks with remarkable accuracy.
Mechanical Tendons: The fingers of the puppet hand are connected to a network of fine, durable mechanical tendons that run through the palm and forearm. These tendons are controlled by a system of pulleys and gears, mimicking the movement of real tendons and muscles. The mechanical tendons allow for precise control and manipulation of the fingers, replicating human-like gestures and actions.
Miniature suction cups: When activated, each suction cup rapidly expands and creates a vacuum-like seal upon contact with a surface. The surface tension generated by the suction cups enables the hand to firmly adhere to a wide range of materials, including smooth surfaces like glass or polished metal, as well as rougher textures such as wood or stone.
Finger Canon: Integrated within the puppet's fingertips are small, removable finger puppets. These fingers can be used as individual projectiles, allowing the puppet to attack anyone coming too close or happens to find it.
