Yukihigi: Shitai no Ryodan (Snow secret: Corpse brigade) OWNERS: Namida [5/9] | Open [4/9] RANK: B-Rank  CLASSIFICATION: Offensive/Defensive. ELEMENT: N/A RESTRICTIONS: Yukigakure, Puppetry Primary, Bukijutsu Secondary. DESCRIPTION: A collection of puppets created a little after the second shinobi war by a Yukigakure Jounin attempting to mimic the puppets of Sunagakure. Due to the very little knowledge they had on the inner working of Sunagakure designs, the Jounin went for a much simpler style without the flamboyant appearences, complex mechanisms and hidden weapons.  Since their creation the puppets have been passed down generations, meticulously cared for and restored whenever damage occurred.  The Corpse Brigade is comprised of nine puppets. Each are identical in appearence except one which has a unique head - they all have human skulls, besides the latter which has a distinctive oxen skull. In appearance each stands roughly 6ft tall, clad in tight fitting white robes with high collars. On most occasions, they can be seen with yukigakure headbands tied to their right arms - this is done by the owner to misdirect any opponents. They have identical katanas kept secure by a wide black belt. If their clothing/head was to be removed, one would see the material they're made of; a highly dense yet lightweight wood. Atomically speaking, the Corpse Brigade was specifically designed with the intention of giving them a vast range of agility and movement. Each of the limbs joints are capable moving such as a human would. Then after each joint there is a unique section where two points are only connected through bearings; allowing it to turn a full 360 degrees.  ABILITIES: Design Feature - Chakra Conductive | Kenjutsu Capability:  The main design feature of the Corpse Brigade is to be a conduit for any kenjutsu techniques the user may know. With each bearing a katana and capable of human like movement, the user can control them to perform said techniques, even those that enhance their weapon with chakra such as; the flying swallow or sabre techniques. This however requires heavy training (A dedicated SA) by the user in order to understand how exactly to convey said sword techniques into their puppets actions via puppet strings. Design Feature - Speed: A secondary design feature of the Corpse Brigade is the lightweight material the puppets are made of, and lack of hidden weapons. Due to these two factors, the puppets are considerably faster then one would expect. In the hands of a skilled user at full strength, those without enhanced preception or reflexes may have trouble seeing their movements. NOTE: Each singular puppet within the Corpse Brigade counts as one B-Rank item, and not the collection as a whole. Keep this in mind when adding these to your inventory.
