Puppet Name: Shirudo (Shield)
Appearance:
Description: The first puppet made by Shaku is a defensive puppet. He has two large shields upon each arm, each with a broad blade protruding from it. The outer area of the puppet is made of wood, and the inside is covered in a layer of metal. Within the torso of the puppet, there is a compartment for the puppet master, allowing them to attach their chakra strings to an inner pulley system that allows the mechanisms to move. There are other small mechanisms throughout the puppet for both offensive and defensive purposes, but they are all close to mid range.
Strengths: Highly resistant to a wide range of assaults, can perform heavy close range attacks with the blades protruding form the shields, can be summoned by the tattoo marking on Shaku's arm.
Weaknesses: Continued fire style attacks will heat up the inner metal sheets and cause the puppet to be like an oven to the puppet master inside, it is difficult to remove oneself quickly form the puppet. The heavy metal equipment makes it slow moving. There are no defenses placed on the rear compartment where the puppet master enters.
