### *Bukijutsu*

#### **Manipulating Attack Blades**

Hideri is able to elongate chakra from her fingertips as threads, link those **Chakra Threads** (*Romaji*: **Chakura no Ito**; *Kanji*: **チャクラの糸**) to projectiles such as kunai and shuriken, and then maneuver those chakra threads as a means of either propelling or redirecting those projectiles in performance of the Manipulating Attack Blades jutsu.

Notably, Hideri can use this jutsu to manipulate her Tonbogiri and thereby wield her Tonbogiri without busying the both of her hands.

By doing so, Hideri is able to perform the **Puppet Technique** (*Romaji*: **Kugutsu no Jutsu**; *Kanji*: **傀儡の術**)

Notably, because of her armor's likeness to puppets, Hideri can use the Puppet Technique to interface with her armor. By doing so, Hideri is able to reveal and use her armor's weapons with ease and haste!

Each of Hideri's makibishi contains an explosive tag which allows each of them to be used as a grenade or land mine.

#### **Puppets**

Hideri is armed with dozens of puppets which are equipped with most of her arsenal and exhibit her appearance.

Because the puppets bear her appearance, Hideri can emulate a Clone Jutsu by summoning the puppets from her scroll. Notably, because Hideri carved a Chakra Pathway System and tenketsu into each of the puppets, even chakra-perceiving Dōjutsu are incapable of differentiating between Hideri and the puppets! And Hideri can perform all of her jutsu through her puppets!

Tonbogiri is composed of a Chakra Blade-like material which allows it to absorb a flow of Earth Release chakra and then harden itself with that Earth Release chakra. And Tonbogiri contains a device which allows it to absorb a flow of Wind Release chakra and then emit that Wind Release chakra is a malleable and sharp Mechanical Light Shield!
