Techniques: [Kugutsu no Jutsu][ (Puppet Skill) ][C-Rank, Ninjutsu, Supplementary], Description: Uses a doll as a weapon for combat. The doll is controlled by thin, almost invisible strings that chakra flows down. The chakra brings the doll 'to life', and can be used to switch places with the user, attack, or hide itself as another person.
[Biransei no Jutsu][ (Poison Gas Technique) ][C-Rank, Ninjutsu, Damage], Description: This Ninjutsu technique creates a cloud of poisonous gas that erupts from the ninja's mouth in a stream. The cloud clears a distance between the ninja and their enemy, as not to capture the ninja himself within it's area of effect. Any enemy caught within its area of effect will succumb to the poison's effects.
[Suna-Shunshin no Jutsu ][ (Sand Body Flicker Technique) ][C-Rank, Ninjutsu, Specail], Description: A high-speed movement technique. It is described as 'appearing with the wind and disappearing like the wind.' A very basic jutsu, it appears that most shinobi above Genin-rank know it. Using chakra to activate the body, the user is able to move from one point to another with extreme speeds. This super-fast movement is almost impossible to see with the naked eye. To a normal person, it would seem as if the user has teleported. The amount of Chakra used depends on the distance and elevation between the user and the destination.
[Kawarimi no Jutsu ][ (Body Replacement Technique) ][D-Rank, Ninjutsu, Supplemental], Description: This is a technique that usually confuses the attacker. The user quickly projects themselves with another nearby object such as a plant (normally a section of a log), an animal, or even another person within reach, leaving the opponent open to a counter-attack.In the anime, a straw man bundle, a boulder, mud, and even a scarecrow has been used as a Body Substitute Jutsu, though this may not be considered canon by few fans.
[Henge no Jutsu][ (Transformation Technique) ][E-Rank, Genjutsu, Supplemental], Description: The user utilizes the sheep hand seal or the tiger hand seal and concentrates their chakra to assume the appearance of another person, an animal, or even any object. This is one of the required basic jutsu taught at the Ninja Academy. Fundamentally, all ninja know this technique.

Trademark Techniques(s): [Enkin Kugutsu no Jutsu][ ( Distance Puppet Skill) ][B-Rank, Ninjutsu, Supplementary], Description: This technique is a variation of the standard puppet skill technique. Only it allows Ibara to control his puppet from much farther away. Ibara uses a system of comm equipment and cameras to see and hear what his puppet would even if he is well out of range it. This can only be used with one puppet at a time.

Puppet weapons, items and descriptions.

Chyukai-Do
Advanced Puppet: Humanoid type, about 5 feet tall. The main body is made up of wooden rings that are stacked on top of one another. In the middle of the body, the seconding from the top, are a small pair of skinny arms with detailed hands collapsed in the chest. On the back of each ring are two small metal 180 degree hooks that are used for storage and hanging purposes. The head is a cylinder shape, that has red round eyes with blue triangles inside them. The mouth looks carved on, in a simple smile. This is the mouth and when open the "tongue" is a short nozzle used for various attacks. Larger arms on the side are for combat. Both use blades, but the right has a senbun launcher. It would be activated by the right arm and elbow bending up towards he head. Then from the back, now facing the target, of the arm half of it would drop down to be parallel to the ground, and the senbuns would be shot out from here. The legs have thicker thighs then would be needed. They hold things like kaltrops, smoke bombs a pair of chains that can fire out and bind the target. Heels have small upwardly curved blades. These types of weapons are hidden throughout the rest of the body as well.
[Senbun], [Razor blades (small exotic)], [Chains (large exotic)]

Makiryu-Do.
Advanced Puppet (Puppet Scroll A). Centipede puppet. When fully extended the the body is 12 feet long. The antenna on the head add an extra two and a half feet. For a total of 14.5 feet long, a little over a foot width. Being a centipede its body is segmented and has a single pair of legs, one on each side of a segment, 20 segments in all. The legs are circular shaped, with tips where the flat end should be. Sharp on both sides, but the tips that go into the ground are not. The head is slightly larger then the other segments, and it opens wider at the mouth. The eyes are two oval shaped protrusions. It looks much like any bugs eyes. The mouth is made up of pincers that are triple recurved blades. Antennas on the head are only slightly sharp, serrated blades that inflict minor damage. The real danger of this puppet is the poison it carries. On the underside of each segment is a compartment with double flap openings. Around the head of the puppet are segments with poison gas balls. Each segment holds one. Middle segments contain kaltops, and segments at the end hold spikes that come out and can be used to swipe at enemies. These are also poisonous. Unique to this puppet is the fact it can roll itself up into a ball and attack the enemy. The poison it carries is a nerotoxin that inhibits movement and will cause temporary paralysis.
[ Pincers (small exotic)], [Antenna (large exotic)], [ Kaltrops ]

Zerutsu-Do
Advanced Puppet (Puppet Scroll B). This puppet is the oddest looking of the three. It has no legs, it simply hovers a about 2 feet of the ground. It has a huge tree trunk build, wide and thick. The higher the puppet, the thicker it is. The top is a smooth curved hump that out reaches to protrusions slightly. Still in a vary smooth curve. Coming from out the body, under these "shoulders", are cylinder that extend half way down the body. These are three feet long, and get slightly more narrow as they go down, but never to a point. These "arms" have no visible fingers. Under the the hump, is the puppets head. It is gray, hollow and keeping with the build, thick and smooth. It has large black depressions for eyes, with no pupils. As for a mouth, it is large and looks to be just just placed on the body, as the head altogether, as if a mask. The body is black except for a small portion along the body runs a two sets of parallel white lines starting from the bottom of the puppet and join at a hole directly under the head. In between these lines are an opaque shield coating of material. Behind that are what seem to be orbs of some kind. This puppet is one of the strongest and for good reason. Its heavily armored, and armed. The hole under the head is the cannon opening. and the orbs are balls containing different weapons. Once fired they will break open to release the projectile weapons inside. Some are simply balls that have spikes inside, these come out when fired, and others balls explode. The arms are senbun launchers. The "palm" of the left hand can split vertically down the middle and out comes a revolver like weapon. Each senbun fires from a barrel when it comes to the top. The right "palm" splits like the left, but instead or a gatling firing mechanism it has a pentagon shaped barrel. This weapon can fire five senbuns at a time. The hump on the back can lift up and a large fold able shuriken comes out. After spinning rapidly this will fire at the enemy. Secret weaopns are located throughout the body of the puppet. Its sides will open up and fire, then go back inside.
[Senbun], [ Various ball projectiles (small thrown weapons)], [Fuuma Shuriken]

Shousa-Do.
Advanced Puppet (Puppet Scroll C). Humanoid type. At first glance this puppet can be mistaken for a woman very easily. Everything about it is human. Though it is not a living puppet. Standing taller then Chyukai-Do, the head is bountiful with short, almost purple, hair that goes down just to the neck. An attractive face is molded on the head not unlike a mannequin's face. Blue eyes that stay fixed ahead, and lump lips seem out of place on a ninja puppet. Yet not on her. The build of this "woman" is a fit one, yet still feminine. On the body are clothes, real clothes. A body suit, dark gray, but not entirely black. A single elongated red diamond is the design on the fabric at the forearms, thighs, and shins. A tactical jacket, left open is the other half to her dress. Along with boots and finger cut gloves. The lethal parts of this puppet are trench spikes, brass knuckles with blades at the end, on the right hand, with a set on her side. A senbun launcher from the left forearm, the bottom opens up ripping the fabric, and a barrel pops out. From the left knee is a type of missile launcher. It opens up and a canister, with a rounded tip, wrapped in an exploding note fires. Much like any ninja a set of smoke pellets rests back and to the left of her hip.
[Senbun], [Trench spikes(small exotic)], [Exploding seal], [Smoke pellets]

Character Description: Whether he likes it or is just convenient Ibara wears his Sand jounin uniform. A desert yellow vest with various pockets for scrolls and tools left open revealing a white shirt. His shoulders are covered by the shirt, and somewhat by the vest being as it is slightly too big, but his biceps remain uncovered. Desert camo arm warmers cover his forearms, with tan elastic bands keeping them in place. His pants are a dim yellow and fit his better then the jounin top. The sandals are the same color as well. His belt holster has an extension on it to wrap around his waist twice, leaving two straps on his body instead of one, the extra one stays outside the belt loop of the pants. The one distinguishing feature of Ibara is the cloak he wears. The color is of course desert shaded and it stops just past the middle of his thighs. It has extra fabric at the top for a hood if need and is tied around his shoulders with his sand headband, right in the middle of his collar bones, holding the two pieces in place. As for his face, it remains very hidden. He tries at least. A twisted piece of cloth goes across his nose and hangs down covering his mouth and face effectively. His eyes are brown and strands of his bleach hair string out from under the bandanna he wears. on top of his forehead are a pair of goggles used to keep the sand out. So much sand....

[Equip set #3]

How could someone be too old for portable music, and yet not old enough to go out on a date? That was Ibara. He had purchased a small music playing devise called an o-pid. He wondered what it was after seeing more and more people have it through the various missions he and his team had been on. No where in the Wind country's code of shinobi does it state a ninja can't be curious during his free time. After purchasing the queer little devise he was told it is best used on long trips. So what better place then on a mission?

The mission wasn't the typical ultra deadly, out to kill you kind the Sand government deals to team 6. Instead it was to reach a city on the border of the Wind country. The real mission was to fix a fight. Nothing to do with other country's status and government, no other ninja were expected to be involved. The level of force need to accomplish this mission was non-existent, no killing involved. Stealth and cunning were required. As the fight had to take place as normal, just with the client's fighter the winner.

Ibara allowed himself to think the mission was normal, and that the Sand government would ease up on him and his team. Just for a moment to let his bones relax and his muscles ease. The realization to the opposite hurt twice as more then if he just didn't expect anything. The mission had two significant problems. The first were season sad storms that made the quickest route to the city unpassable. The second was that the only way to get to the city was filled with danger too. A canyon pass that was filled with a variety of nasty critters. All this with the deadline of two weeks made the mission the nun of the mill hatred from the Sand government.

Now, after five days of travel, and survival in the desert, Team 6 approaches the "hump" of there mission....

Trying to get his o-pid to walk was a hit or miss thing. Not being a sure thing, he left it for another time and replied to John. "Its mostly me, but this team is the team from hell in their eyes. I haven't really told you the story.." Ibara stoped with out warning and lowered his head, his eyes looking down. It was as if he was ashamed with his past, and didn't want to share it. He then continued walking, cathing up with John and resumed his reply. There were no villages, shinobi or other wise, for at least 2 and a half days hike from where they were.

"...No, I haven't told you why the Sand hates me, " another pause, "...and I don't think I'll tell you now either." The sand the team was on was the normal yellow, hot, and sifting variety. But ahead in the distance, through the waves of heat that cloud image the team could see the two moundsof rock that were the begining of the canyon. The dirt there would be harder, and a mixture of gravel with the sand. All around them filled in sink holes doted the earth.

"The actions that will best keep us alive" Ibara just continued to stare into the distance, occasionaly to the ground and sides. He shruged his shoulders and quickly adjusted his backpack. Chyukai-Do's limbs dangleing as he did so. "Be ready for anything." Less then a minute latter, a sink hole opend up right before their eyes, just a step or two infront of them. Ibara paying it no mind placed his hand on John's shoulder and gently pushed him so his path would go around the hole. Ibara did the same, walking around the most bizarre, delpetion in sand as if it was an inconvenience, like dog crap.

A little ways down Ibara began to speak to his team. His voice slightly louder, but barely noticable, and his tone more authorative. He was giving them a lesson. "I'm sure you've heard of them, and read about them in your survival class. Though they go by many names. They hunt for food by feeling the vibrations of the ground and attack smaller animals from underneath. When in groups they can kill something as large as an elaphant, with ease. The trick is to know your terrain. The sand we are on confuzes their 'vision' and thus the sink holes we see. Its their attapt to catch whatever they can. You just have ot aviod the dips in sand. And cna anybody tell me the names of our little friends?"

((Seriosly, I suck with names.))

The not-so-gennin gennin was watching the two with mild interest, it had been a while. With a smirk on his face and a small hop in his step he hailed the group. One hand fingering a small feathered pendant the other hefting a rather long bladed fan. "Hey, so, what I miss? Sorry for being alittle late. Was dealing with some personal problems. Speaking of which; Ibara, I will need to speak with you in private later. Nothing of too large importance."

He looked on the path they were taking. Just a run of the mill mission, eh?
