" That was pretty good for your first try but it still needs a little bit of work." Shoda stated as pulled his bear-like puppet out in front of him again.
" Now that your puppet's repaired you can fight me again. So next time your puppet gets damaged you can heal him, but since your still learning the jutsu I wont have you perform it in combat just yet." His father stated as Gatsu attached his chakra strings to Kentakumo once more. Gatsu and his father fought for another few rounds before Shoda had caught Kentakumo once again in his bear trap jutsu, gashing Gatsu's puppet in half.
" Aww. I was hoping I could last a bit longer than only a few rounds." Gatsu said as he looked on at his broken puppet.
"No worries son, your still genin level. Once you get to chuunin you'll be able to fight me on par." his father said comfortingly as he pulled back his puppet to let Gatsu cast the Jutsu.
" Go on now, use Puppet Recon jutsu now." Shoda said as he watched Gatsu approach his broken Kentakumo Puppet.
"Tiger, Ram, Dog and Rat. Puppet Reconstruction No Jutsu!" Gatsu exclaimed as the same bluish mending light encased his puppet and repaired it almost to full durability.
"Did i do something wrong Dad? It seems like its only about 80% fixed?" Gatsu said worriedly as he hoped he hadn't done anything wrong during the jutsu.
" Oh yeah I forgot to tell you. The first time the jutsu is used it repairs to 100% then second time to 85% and the third time 75%. The jutsu can only be used three times per battle so use it as a last resort and don't go throwing Kentakumo into otherwise avoidable situations knowing that u have this repair jutsu. Think of this as your saving grace when things go bad." his father said as he smiled down at his son, he was glad he could help him along his path of being a puppet user shinobi.
