The concentrated nature of the chakra as it is condensed into threads makes it visible to the naked eye, just like real wires even if they aren’t always easy to catch. Chakra threads possess a strength and dexterity that physical ones lack they can be attached to any material, extend as far as the caster’s control allows and can lift objects of different sizes and weights without any strain, even holding puppets aloft while fighting. To perform the technique, the puppeteer extends threads of chakra from their fingertips and attaches it to the puppet. Mastery typically forces them to neglect other skills which is why they specialize in long-range combat through their puppets while being weak at close-range themselves. The style is very demanding as, in addition to practicing puppetry, it requires the construction, maintenance and improvement of the puppet (or puppets) that each puppeteer’s fighting style is based upon. The white coats they wore actually started a tradition where each puppeteer would chose signature colour for their puppets and techniques. Supposedly, the Chikamatsu Collection of Ten Puppets was based on a painting of the people who introduced puppetry in the first place in respect to its origins. It was Chikamatsu Monzaemon who turned that art into a tool for battle. It’s said that puppetry was first brought to the land in ancient times by a clan of strange travellers with string-controlled puppets as a type of entertainment. Those who uses this style are known as puppeteers and most belong to the Sunagakure’s Puppet Brigade. The Puppet Technique is one of three signature fighting styles native to the Land of Wind which uses chakra threads to control puppets like marionettes.
