Talk:Puppet Performance: Skilful Achievement with a Human Body

Shouldn't Sakura be listed as a user she was the human body for the technique--Nintendo-Fan (talk) 05:52, December 10, 2009 (UTC)Nintendo-Fan

A-rank?
I am not denying the rank given, I am just curious why this would count as A-rank since it just seems like a simple evolution over the C-rank puppet technique. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 20:04, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

You can find the description of the jutsu (Soen: Hitomi Goku) in the databook here http://mangahelpers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=45246 Manipulating a living human requires "transcending skill". And apparently using multiple strings (to connect to multiple parts of the bodies) per "puppet" is a requirement even for highly skilled users who need only one string for a normal puppet (See Chiyo). And even Sasori seems to be able to control 2 living people at max. Also according to databook it requires both parties to trust each other deeply. So I guess it's A-ranked because of the difficulty.

Techniques are always ranked on how hard it is to perform them. We have the translations of all techniques with entries in the third databook available here. I think it has to do with the fact that a dead body is, in theory, less versatile than a puppet, and probably heavier as well. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:31, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

Sasori
sasori used this to control Anko's partners against Kankuro's team. it should also be noted that he can use this jutsu to control multiple humans at the same time, as Tokuma and Ranka attacked at the same time.84.90.194.208 (talk) 22:26, November 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * it's already known that he's a puppet master controlling 2 or 3 bodies at once isn't a problem for him--Cerez365 (talk) 08:02, November 20, 2010 (UTC)

Kankurō
Since he used chakra strings to save Zaji, shouldn't he be listed as a user of this technique? Or does it require him to actually control someone like a puppet? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:40, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think Kankuro just pulled Zaji out of the way.--Deva 27 (talk) 01:44, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah i don't really think dragging someone counts as using this technique--Cerez365 (talk) 01:55, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * The basic idea is not too different from when he made Naruto trip. Moreover, moving an otherwise immobile puppet around and an unresisting piece of human flesh cannot be too different. I would guess that since a human lacks the necessary weapons built into it, and (if alive still) can resist, it would be more difficult, hence being A-ranked.

 * What you said makes absolutely no sense to me.--Cerez365 (talk) 11:57, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
