The sun was setting over a solitary training ground, as flashes of blond hair caught in it's last remaining light. Naurto was practicing doddging. Against who you might think, well himself. His clones had set out an hour ago to rig thre training ground with low powered explosive notes as well as a handful of other less explosive but far more pointy objects. Most eight year olds would find this less than a fun time but Naruto however was laughing as he flipped or sidestepped a kunai or an explosion.

Kabuto was watching from the side lines, with a note book in hand taking down notes. Even with Naruto's ability to fight with puppets he still wanted to learn a way to do it on his own in case something doesn't work out. The medic didn't quite understand what he meant by that but then after nearly two years under his and Sasori-sama for training he was surprised anyone actually understood the boy. He had taken to their training like a fish to water and went from a koi to a shark.

Today was also a stress reliever for them both, their combined work on duplicating the seal wasn't going so well. It seemed the Kyubii's chakra was going to reek havoc with the seal simply because of the level of power it contained. Though it seemed it would fight the seal from internally as well trying to destroy the changes made to the boy, it would be a constant burning battle to an uncomfortable stale mate neither complete or unfinished.

The last light of the sun had Naruto landing next to his older friend, "Kabuto-nii, I was thinking..." He seemed bashful.

This set kabuto on edge seeing as he taught Naruto how to act, "About what Naruto-kun?"

"Isn't the demon chakra like a poison?" He looked to the distance. " I mean for it to be in anyone elses chakra system it would probably almost kill htem from the pain, and it's corrosive energy. But." He looked up at his older friend. "But since I've practically always had it in me I... wouldn't I have like at least an immunity to it?"

He thought over the younger boys words, "From a medical stand point yes you do have some immunity to it. Though it seems it's not at a base level. It's more like an addiction reaching a plateau. You're body has a constant source and a 'fix' so you don't suffer the with drawls, but are still having to have it." He smiled, " I see what you are thinking actually, if we want the seal to actually complete we need a stronger source of chakra even by a minute amount."

Here Naruto smiled, " Or a way to weaken the Demon Chakra in my body enough to let the seal work until it's finished."

Silver hair fell over his glasses for a moment, "But if we weaken the demon chakra you'll go into withdrawls."

Naruto shook his head, "Not realy, I mean aren't we using the demons chakra to power the seal that is forcing changes in my body?" He shrugged, " I mean if I'm deprived of the 'drug' and we use the 'drug' as a source to put something in me then would my body latch on to it even more tightly because it's trying to absorb the demon chakra that way?"

Blinking, "I will talk this over with Sasori-sama for you, but." He paused and smiled. "I have something for you that I think you should learn a deeper understanding of." He pull a moderately sized scroll from his pack. "This is full of different types of poisons, you should learn to craft them and their antidotes. Even if your body fights them faster with your own skill and the push from the kyubii."

"As well so I can use them in combat." Naruto smiled, "So is this a private time training oooor." He used the evil puppy eyes of doom.

"It will be our night of training, but I wanted you to at least familiarize yourself with them before then." he patted the boy on the shoulders, wondering briefly what his life would be like if Sasori hadn't come to Konoha.

-Academy days-

It became a very frequent and all to normal occurrence for Naruto and Shino to be seen working together in classes, training or even just sitting and enjoying their lunch together. Blue eyes were laying there watching the clouds, "Shino... what would you do if you could use more of your chakra?"

Silence was his answer for a time, "Our contractual obligations will never lat us have more of our chakra."

"Huh... I wonder why though? I mean the larger your reserves are does that equal out to a larger hive or more powerful Kikai?.. I mean that doesn't seem balanced at all." he was thinking out loud but he was curious.

Shino turned to look at his friend seeing the near serious expression he wore, "We do not solely carry only one hive of Kikai. At certain points in our growth and our chakra increases we are given different colonies to contain." he paused, "The contractual percentage is to ensure that they have enough to maintain themselves, to grow and to use to heal themselves."

the blond was nodding durring the explanation. "So if you ran out of chakra would that mean they were without too or does it separate itself because of the bond?"

"Why the curiosity in the bond between myself and the Kikai?" Shino queried, "It's a strange conversation for one not sharing a similar connection."

he closed his eyes, 'Now or never.' "Shino, You once asked me why people treated me differently. It's because of what I have inside me." he opened them to look at his friend, "If I put a kunai into a scroll does that change the scroll?"

"No it is simply the device for storage."

"Now what if the scroll could channel certain aspects of the kunai. As in it could sharpen it's edges because of the kunai inside." He asked, because that in essence is what he could do.

The bug user tilted his head, "That would be the same as why my clan does with our kikai. We hold them as a storage scroll yet we can access some of the qualities."

The blond nodded, "I am what is known as a jinkurichi or a prison for a demon." he said softly. "But mine is the demon that attacked eight years ago."

Shino seemed to ponder over the qualities of what was just said for several minutes. "That would explain much, yet the fould chakra that you emitted our first year has diminished greatly."

"It's because I found a way to keep it from coming out to much, though I guess I am like the kikai. As I am the one who needs it's chakra to live. Like an addiction but one I can't help."

"That is why they fear you, because they think you are the demon, or that you will unleash it upon us." He spoke in his monotone. "Yet you have not even after the way you have been treated. I am not so sure I could have resisted that temptation if I had been you."

Naruto broke out into a smile, "You don't know how much that means to me Shino, you are my best friend."

"That would be the equivalent for me as well." Shino nodded while pushing his glasses up.

Running his hands through his hair he folded them behind his head laying back down, "Do you think anyone else could understand?"

The black sun glasses seemed to scan the other students as if thinking or rather remembering the differences between everyone. "Nara-san would be able to understand and would find it mostly to difficult to care. That would also bring Akamichi-san, which given your eating habits would provide competition."

"Well I could always challenge him to Shogi." Naruto laughed.

Shino twitched, "I hope that he didn't..."

"Did some one say shogi?" The Shadows fell over Naruto laying on the ground.

Cracking open a blue eye he looked up seeing the silhouette of a pineapple attached to a trench coat. "Do you have super hearing?"

The sound of the board landing and the pieces being set up caused him to sit up and look over. The always tired and bored looking boy actually had a smile on his face even if it was troublesome to conjure. "Since I challenged you can choose."

Chouji, the Akamichi tried to convey being sorry with a look. While Shino was calculating something that was only known to himself. With a smile Naruto, spun the board and took black. He was more a reactive fighter anyway so most of his own thoughts worked in the 'if they do this I can …' patterns. The game was slow and for anyone watching particularly agonizing to watch, as Shikamaru was thinking out each of his moves and Naruto was thinking out each of Shikamaru's moves and his own counter moves to each of the other boys options.

The lunch period passed yet the four boys were still there, for either support of their friend or playing the game. It didn't take long for Iruka to come searching for his missing students, yet when he saw what was going on he decided to wait rather than begin yelling. 'This might let me figure out more about Naruto, and the fact he actually has Shikamaru engaged in an activity' His thoughts carried him over to the game as he watched each move made with precision from both boys. Although Naruto's move was made mere moments after Shikamaru it was always a perfect counter. Playing went on for a few more hours before both boys looked up at each other with a strange smile.

"There are no moves left..." Shikamaru stated, "that will let me win with out heavy losses."

"You never planned out my moves against yours only what ifs based on my placements." He smiled as he packed up the game, "I made a plan for every possible move you made not to win but to force your defeat."

"What are you doing on the weekend?" Shikamaru asked him.

Rubbing the back of his head, "Outside of some training nothing...why?"

With a smile and a nod of his head, "I wouldn't mind playing again."

"Only if you come train with me before hand." Naruto smirked.

Shino and Chouji were both waiting for the other boys answer, "Alright I'll train with you as long as the game is this good everytime." The two boys shook on it. Though the three observers seemed stunned that a motivation for a Nara had been found.

"Okay I used the old field by the pine grove I'm there about five in the morning." he turned to leave but saw their Sensei. "Uh.. hi Iruka-sensei..."

the man blinked, "I would say that you four are in trouble but after seeing this little display I will let it go this one time." He smiled at them before turning and walking back in side.

-With Sasori-

"I take it our plans are moving forward then?" The red head spoke from his work station.

"Yes Sasori-sama, I've made friends with Shino and revealed the truth of my burden and the reaction was as expected." He smiled, "Also i've engaged Shikamaru in a contest of Shogi. Which I thank you for the lessons."

The puppet master turned to look at his young protege, "Very well done." The small smile and nod of his head brought a brighter smile to Naruto's face. "Kabuto has also informed me of your personal thoughts of the seal and it's chakra." He stood up and moved over another desk where the scroll of the different seals were opened. "Come look at this with me again."

He moved silently to the table and began looking at the diagrams. His knowledge of sealing didn't expand far beyond exploding tags, storage scrolls, and different suppression. But in knowing the basics you can discern more than you would think. "What have you figured out?"

Sasori began pointing to different places in the array as he spoke, "You were correct about the mind control portion of the seal. Yet that did lead me to a few discoveries. The person who places this seal not only can affect the mind of the host, but can drain their chakra, and even begin to alter their bodies to match his own." The slim fingers then started tracing different rays of the seal, "These are the 'bloodline' portions yet if you notice they are tied with emotional modification seals."

The blond looked closely at the places pointed out seeing the barest of what was being discussed. "But then this would make you a slave, and and.." he fumbled for the word, "Unstable...even with the bonus of the powers you would already have to be a few screws loose to want it."

Nodding, "Yes that is the same conclusion we came too as well, even if we were to remove them the whole process would still be a partial fix to your situation in the end."

Blue eyes turned up from the scrolls to look at the dull brown of his masters, "You found out something else about my seal didn't you?"

He bowed his head before he spoke, "Yes now that I have had a few years to observe it and study it frequently i've notice a few portions that have become increasingly painful in their mistakes." He looked back to his student. "I was caught up in the immediate issues that I over looked them."

"Well how to we fix them so this stupid demon doesn't screw with my training and our plans." His voice was low but the chill in it was enough to cause a brow to raise.

"Two of the three can be fixed one of them... is beyond my ability." His words soft on the ears. "The rate of increase is becoming exponential, I would guess at the rate it grows you should have been fully open to its full power by the age of twenty." He moved the scrolls until it showed the full diagram of Naruto's demon seal. "The third one is that your body is going to need to receive the chakra in larger doses it's starting to stunt your physical growth. The last is that this is a remote access seal," indicating a certain portion of the seal. "There's a control seal somewhere that can manipulate the rate at which the chakra enters into your system. If someone were to tamper with it with out knowing of our modifications..."

Naruto nodded, he knew enough that it would be capital B bad. "Well could we modify it enough to let the 'required' amount of chakra enter my body so I don't have to worry about dieing from this forced addiction?" He spat out. Then he saw something in the seal that caught his eye. Moving closer he started tracing the pattern with an increased intrigue. "Sasori, is this a conversion and alteration seal?"

The mans eyes shifted to where he was pointing and began looking it over. " It's a five point redirection and dissolution seal." He looked to his young apprentice to see a look of confusion. " It's the same concept yet, this is the point where the Chakra is taken from the demon and then passed into you. It 'spins' the chakra letting it enter your body while refining the rest to be able to enter your pathways."

Light seemed to fill the boys eyes, "So then this seal here is the one that's constantly getting widder and is also controlled by the 'key'." The red head nodded in response. " And this is the overlay you made to keep the chakra from going straight into my system." he bit his lip, " Couldn't we put..." He pulled a small scroll from his pocket and looked at it before he began drawing an explosive tag.

Sasori watched him with interest, as he noted a few key elements being left out of the tag. The timer for one, and the four pronged array for causing it to convert to an explosion, yet he still left the space open. The small tongue sticking out of the boys mouth in concentration was cute but he would never say so aloud. But then he saw something that amused him, Chakra conversion seals being placed on both ends of the array, The one that he could tell would lead into the pathways was a simple unuversal conversion to base chakra, yet the other one he didn't recognize. The seals were varied and even fairly complex for a boy to figure out. "Naruto what is that seal you are working on?"

The blond blinked and then looked up, "Oh... well you said the biggest problem was that more and more chakra would be forced from the seal and into me. That shit hurts sooo..." He shrugged, "If we forced the chakra after this point, "he pointed to where it left the dissolution seal, "To convert into Medical Chakra, cycle again and then be forced to convert to base chakra it would fix everything."

The man blinked, "How.. in the conversion you wouldn't loose enough to matter." he had thought this too but even shifting to elemental chakra and back would only loose about ten percent.

"Medical chakra has a loss rate of eighty five percent during the conversion, due to compression and purification making it purely neutral though much denser." the soft voice of Kabuto caught them from behind. "And with Naruto-kuns training in medical practices, the free radicals of the medical chakra that would remain in his system would reinforce his own healing, plus potentially lower his own loss rate to only seventy six percent."

Naruto beamed, as he drew three images of a glass, On full marked with a K, the middle one with only a little in it marked with an M and then the last with about a quarter in it. "If you could make this work I would only get about twenty five percent of the Kyubii's chakra into my pathways, but then it would have lost all it's 'umph' because of the double conversion and the double 'spin cycles'."

"Which means we could remove the overlays leaving this as the only reinforced seal but I would have to actually make it part of the true seal rather than an overlay." Sasori continued.

"Yes but it would have to be Naruto-kun activating and compressing it, since it would convert the medical chakra into his own rather than yours or mine." The older medic spoke with a soft smile. "Good job Naruto I don't think either of us would have considered that."

The smile on the blonds face grew larger, "Could we do it soon?"

The puppet master smiled, 'This boy has given me many ideas beyond anything I would have thought of. I'm nearly ready to begin my other plans.' Placing a hand on Naruto's shoulder. "Yes Kabuto and I will work on making it as flawless as we can. However you will have to drain your own reserves and the mixing seal to do it. As well you will probably have to suffer a few days to adjust to the extra Kyubbi chakra in your main body."

He grimaced, but nodded. "Last time though right?"

Both men nodded, each hoping so. "I've also decided after seeing this that I will let you start the next level of Fuinjutsu, as well let you begin to build your own puppets." The Red headed master decided, "You're showing great skill in your training and following our plans."

Kabuto coughed, "There is something I have found as well." he moved forward with a small folder, "It was my original intent. This is the file of Anko Mitarashi, she is the former apprentice to Orochimaru and also bares an active curse seal though not as advanced as the one we have been studying."

If Sasori believed in Santa Clause or Miracles this would be one of those times. "You and Naruto will seek her out and attempt to win her trust. Use the knoweldge of her seal if you have too she will be a very valuable ally to all of us."

The two boys nodded before they took off Leaving their master to his devices once more, which turned into making the concept into an even more powerful yet truly functional version. Looking over Naruto's notes on medica chakra conversion this would truly destroy the plans of his former colleauges. As he was going to take this a step further and attempt to convert the Kyubii itself though it would happen over time it would be worth it.

-Several days later-

Naruto was running through the forest being chased by a few of it's less savory and wild denizens. After riling them up of course, he was laughing and egging them on with shouts belittling them. He was also heading directly towards his target. ' Alright and she letting me get near, must aim to run into with out looking on purpose.' He smirked, "Ahhh.." 'Right into the sweet spots.' he turned his head to look back as he plowed around the coner and right into the bussom of the woman.

"What the hell brat?"

"Mphphm..." He pulled his head out and blushed profusely." I wa.. I was working on something and these things just came at me... I know I'm cute but didn't think I would be tasty!" He spoke as he wrapped himself around her leg.

She looked at the beasts seeing different poisoned kunai hanging from their flesh. "You're aim sucks." She flicked her wrist killing them off.

"Well if I wasn't fighting mutant forest things.. and actually thought Kunai were useful I might be better." he said in a somewhat sad voice as he pulled out the 'prize.' The stick was gone from his hand faster than he could blink. "My Dango!"

She smirked as she tossed back the stick, empty. "Sake flavored... good choice brat."

Flinging one of his kunai at her she caught it, "That's no way to thank the lady who saved you." She smiled sweetly.

Gulping, "Yah that wasn't for saving me that was for stealing my PRECIOUS DANGO!" he screamed and launched himself at her in an attack.

"You got spunk brat but your way below my radar." As she simply dodged his attacks, until he scratched her with a chakra scalpel. 'What the hell, kids got tricks... maybe...'

"Like you care.. no body cares... every one hates me in the village because.. well I don't even know... they all treat me like dirt is better than me... beat me up... try to kill me on my FUCKING birthday!" He kept swiping and swinging knowing full well he wasn't going to hit her much more than she allowed.

She paused and caught his hand, looking into his blue eyes with her own dark violet ones. "I may not care.. but I know how you feel kid."

"Why.. you're HOT, I mean look at that hickey!"

Her hand instantly clamped on her seal, "That's none of your damn business." She hissed at him.

"I've seen those before.." He blinked seeing the seal between her fingers. "Yours looks funny though..." 'Keep up the kid act but give her the hook.' "Yours is still working though.." He stopped fighting and began to stare at the seal with a curious look.

"What the hell do you know." She dropped his hand like it burned her.

"My Nii-san was working on something like that... something about how the seal isn't the real problem.. but he doesn't know enough about seals to fix it." He shrugged but held his gaze on it. "he showed me all the stuff it can do to the body, even if the seal was blocked.. cause it still works like a virus on top of the seal it's inside you too."

"We're going to see this 'brother' of yours." She snatched him up. "Now where do we go?"

Hiding his smile he told her where to take him, Fortunately Kabuto was ready as he had the diagrams from his research and the notes from Naruto and Sasori to begin looking at the seal in actual work. They vanished in a swirl of leaves appearing in the clearing of the 'lab' they were using. "kabuto-nii.. you have to see this!"

The door opened to reveal the medic nin. "Naruto. Where have you been?" He looked at Anko, "thank you for bringing my student back..."

He never finished, "She has the seal on her.. just like the one you showed me!"He grabbed the collare of her jacket and pulled it to reveal the seal.

'Well played Naruto.' He motioned her inside, " I'm sorry.. he's usually not this excited." He sent a glare at the blond, "But he is right. I have been working on that seal. We found some bodies a while ago with it and I wanted to figure it out." He looked sad, "I might have been able to cure it but they were already dead."

"Cure what? It's a fucking seal not some body disorder." She spat out.

"That's where you're wrong. The seal is the method of delivery... let me show you." He pulled out all his notes and the records of the scans on the bodies. She snatched them up and began pouring over them with a fire in her eyes. The two boys however shared a secret glance with small nods, it was almost to easy.

"What the fuck.. why didn't anyone else find this shit out?" She slammed the papers down.

"have you activated your seal before?" Kabuto asked. Getting a 'hell fucking no' as an answer he continued. "Then that is better than could be hoped for. Each use of the seal furthers the alteration and growth of the 'parasite'. Perhaps we could come to an arangement?"

"I'm listening but if I don't like it I'm gutting you both." She smirked, as she tapped a blade against her leg.

The silver haired medic nodded, "With further study on a living host I could possibly find a way to remove it or alter it enough to have you body reject it on it's own like a cold."

"What? You want to use me as a ginuea pig?" She shook her head, "Fuck that."

Holding up his hands, "No, I've already done the 'dirty' work on the corpses. I just need to see the interactions on living tissue simple scans and perhaps a few blood tests."

"I know what I get out of this since I don't want this fucking thing.. what do you want out of it?" She seemed on edge, but fuck it if what she saw was even half true she would be this boys sex slave if this worked.

Kabuto looked to Naruto then back to her once more, "Well two things... Naruto needs a fighting style, the acadamy forms don't work for him since he's much faster in his motions rather than in power." Causing Naruto to blush, "He needs a kunoichi style given his build, and the way it seems he's developing further." He moved and picked up an envelope handing it to her, "This is from the man that is helping me with the Fuinjutsu side of this problem. He knows it was created by orochimaru and has a very fervent near fanatical desire to see that man destoyed, and humiliated."

She took the enveloped and read the letter inside, and also caught the small item that fell out of it. The chakra left in it was enough to tell her what or rather who the finger came from. " I'll do it but nothing classified as village secrets."

He nodded, "Once my research is finished, and the solution found we can present the findings to the Hokage."

"After you make sure this damn thing is gone." They shook hands on it. "What do you need right now?"

He motioned Naruto over, "We will run some diagnostic scans. I've been teaching him the last two years in being a medic. We also know what to look for because of my research. After that I may need you to come by periodically for blood samples and a few non-invasive tests. Other than that outside of Wednesday and Friday evenings I would like you to pick a night or two to work with Naruto on his or a style." He lowered his voice so only Anko could hear, "They really don't treat him fair because of … it."

She nodded, "Gaki you're ass is mine every Tuesday and Thursday." She rubbed her hands together, " At least for this year... I'm 'grounded' from missions for now. But you are just going to be so much fun." 'Plus I'm even closer to getting this seal gone.. he could have asked for much .. much more.'

Several months passed and summer was fast approaching once again and Naruto had changed once more. His healthy diet, and exercise tied in with Anko's unique fighting style had seen him become leaner, taller and quicker. His 'clone' studies with Kabuto had him nearing on par with the older boys skills in the medical arts. Along with his advancing under Sasori with similar training his first three puppets were finished or rather his first two puppets and his concept for his third were finished.

The blond was working on crafting the arrays for his third puppet while he controlled and battled with his other two. The first was mocking at the Kyubii, a dull gray fox that stood about to his waist. It was a very light weight construct yet was rigged with several different ways to poison between it's bite or launching darts with flicks of it's tail, It also contained a few surprises in the way of seals that it could launch small orbs filled with acid or marbles engraved with several exploding tags from it's mouth. His second puppet was a reworking of his very first one of himself. Given that he learned the Serpent style from Anko he employed that into his puppet, the fingertips would shoot senbon in addition to it's strikes the palms of each hand held a chakra stamp each one different the left was a suppression seal that he could mark with and the right was a version of an exploding tag that would steal chakra from the marked person to activate it. Of course this meant that he built the puppet from much stronger materials to take the damage of combat.

Both of them had arrays that let him see through their eyes, and listen through their ears as it were. Making them great for spying or recon. Katsu, his fox, also had a modified sensor array that would pick up 'scents' or chakra signatures. While Naru had a recording matrix that would copy everything the eyes saw and then allow it to be played back with a genjutsu. Sasori had complimented him on his choices though had pointed out every flaw with harsh detail. But again for the first attempts he was pleased with Naruto's skill.

"That's enough for now, Naru almost landed a few disruptor strikes on my puppets." Sasori began, "Now show me this concept you've been keeping secret."

Naruto nodded, hiss blond hair pulled back into a ponytail. Having grown it out and found a way to tame it into a silken lay out. "I've been thinking about Shino-kun. But I know making puppets -that- small is not going to happen yet. Though 'Legion' should be fun and I could always modify him and make it more complex later when I know how." He sent a small glare at his master.

Taking the large scroll, he looked over the design. Nodding his head, before he began looking at the sealing array for the puppet. A single eyebrow raised. "You intend for the puppet to control the pieces?"

"Yes Sasori-sama."

"How exactly would you be able to do that hmm?" The condescending tone clear.

" With these three seals being the important part of it's concept." He laid out three separate seals.

Dark eyes looked over them, "chakra absortion, Chakra storage and I'm not sure what this one is? Is that one of your crazy ideas?"

"Yup." he smiled, "if I link these three seals into the main body, I can in theory summon a shadow clone inside of legion prime," he pointed to the bulkier head like portion. "from there I/it can activate the cloning seal for the puppet letting each cloned puppet have a shadow clone inside to control the parts for itself. While I still maintain the full control through the main body." he grinned.

"No." he shook his head, "It is a brilliant idea, but the capacity of chakra needed to be stored, used, and stolen won't be enough. Plus the mental backlash suffered using this idea would make you useless after an attempt at it." He rolled up the scroll along with the copies of the additional seals. "I'll save this for later when you can think of a way to make it work with out killing yourself."

"Ugh.. if the puppet could use jutsu I wouldn't need to figure this out... Why can't they anyway?"

He smiled, "Oh this type of puppetry can't because they lack a chakra network. However there is a branch that can."

The blonds head whipped up, "Why haven't you taught me that yet!"

"I didn't think you were ready for that. It's not what anyone would consider 'good'." He waited but got no sign of not wanting to hear it. "It's called Human Puppetry. Turning your enemies bodies into your own weapons." he raised a hand to continue. "however it is even more time consuming because you must ensure everything is perfect, one screw up and you have ruined any chance of using them. That said only a fallen Shinobi is useful and then you should only use your most powerful enemies."

"But then how do I practice making them if screwing up ruins them?"

Reaching down he stroked the fake fur of Katsu, "I found working on lesser living creatures was enough to begin with." He looked into the deep blue eyes, "Say you had a real fox, it would be more what you wanted than this. As well you could still place all your tricks inside it."

"But what about chakra pathways? And how would they use jutsu?"

"Ah," he pulled a scroll from the shelf. "There are more advanced methods that allow you to preserve them after death. Their knowledge, techniques, even their control and their reserves can be saved." He handed the scroll to the boy, "Everything has chakra, traits, skills and unique abilities. With your own skill, you could use the chakra of a 'fox' puppet to tree climb or water walk. Since your chakra control is better you can utilize it further than they could."

Ideas burned into the minds eye of the blond, "I could even make a version of my seal to give them more chakra... or create unique attacks just for that puppet on top of what it could do..."

Sasori smiled and nodded. 'Yes and every idea you have come up with I have put to use. The master teaches the student, yet the master also learns.' He patted the boy on the shoulder. "I will have a collection of Foxes for you to begin working on shortly. Or you may choose to begin breeding them with your 'seals' so it's natural." He smirked, "after all you should be talented enough as a medic to increase their growth and reproduction rates. Or have you been slacking on your studies?"

"I don't slack.. I've got a whole year left until I graduate. I'll have a Katsu that will be flawless so you can't even pick it apart." he glared.

"I look forward to it." He moved back to his position, "Now fight me again while describing in detail the way to create the Idora Posion, and ever time you make a new step I want you to spin in a circle."
