Kugutsu: 35
• Fukuwajutsu - Ventriloquism [D-Ranked]
Darello can project his voice through his puppet without having to move his mouth. He can move his puppet's mouth as he speaks to give it more effect.
• Kugutsu no Jutsu - Puppetry Technique [C-Ranked]
Kugutsu no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique that allows a ninja to use a puppet to attack from afar. Using their body's chakra, the ninja emits strings of chakra that run from their fingers to the puppet. The puppet itself can be loaded with many weapons and tools, allowing the puppet master to remain hidden while the puppet moves and attacks the target.
• On Behalf of the Master [C-Ranked]
This jutsu is used in combination with pretty much any of Darello's puppets. By performing a jutsu himself and attaching chakra strings appropriately to himself and his puppet, Darello and the puppet will perform exactly the same handsigns; after that Darello can then transfer use of the jutsu to the puppet rather then use it himself. Although this still uses his own chakra and demands a small chakra cost to transfer the jutsu.
• Kikou Junpuu - Light Shield Seal Mechanism [B-Ranked]
Kikou Junpuu is a Ninjutsu technique used by puppet masters. This shield is created when chakra is emited in the form of a disk from panels which fan out from the puppet arms. This chakra can block many deadly attacks but some attacks, such as Satetsu can gum up the puppet joints and render the arms useless.
• Circus Repertoire [A-Ranked]
Puppets being used in this technique: Panda, Centipede, Rabbit, Croc, Scorpion.
When the opponent attacks Darello, Panda will come to his aid and block the technique, then Centipede will burrow under the ground and sprout up sending the opponent into the air where Rabbit will join him/her. Rabbit will pummel the opponent making them fall limp-less into Croc's chest compartment where he will be strapped tight. Scorpion will then sting the opponent, poisoning them and hopefully killing him.
• Puppeteer's Vision [A-Ranked]
A simple doujutsu which allows a puppeteer to see through the eyes of his/her puppets, increasing his/her own field of vision. This is done by installing special eyes into one's puppets and using the link created by the chakra strings. The user's eyes turn a more intense version of their natural colour almost seeming to glow; the puppet eyes also take on the same appearance making it possible to decipher a link between the user and the puppets. Any genjutsu triggers seen through the puppets eyes will still work on the user.
• Sōen: Hitomi Gokū - Puppet Performance: Skilful Achievement with a Human Body [A-Ranked]
A puppet performance technique where chakra threads are attached to various spots on a person's body; the head, torso, both arms, and both legs. The person being manipulated gains the ability to not only use their own techniques, but the skills of the puppeteer as well.
The origins of this technique lie on the battlefield. When a puppeteer's puppets were all destroyed, they would begin using corpses. To perform this technique with a living person would normally require both parties to cooperate with each other. However, a highly skilled user can control the target by force if the person is severely weakened or damaged rendering them unable to resist.
• Hitokugutsu - Human Puppet [S-Ranked]
A technique developed by Sasori during his time in Sunagakure, this allows him to create puppets from human corpses. As Sasori was the only person to know how to create human puppets, this technique became lost when he died.
By removing the internal organs of a foe and preserving the body to prevent decomposition, as well as adding weapons and defences, Sasori can make powerful human puppets. These puppets are different from normal ones, as they retain their use of chakra and any kekkei genkai that the human host once had.
Ninjutsu: 18
• Kawarimi no Jutsu - Change of Body Stance Technique [E-Ranked]
Kawarimi no Jutsu is a basic Ninjutsu. When in danger the ninja will quickly substitute themself with another nearby object. This can be a block of wood or even another person. This allows the ninja to quickly flee and hide while the original object takes the brunt of their opponents attack.
• Henge no Jutsu - Transformation Technique [E-Ranked]
Henge no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu which every ninja learns at the Ninja Academy. Henge allows the ninja to transform themselves into any person or object. This allows the ninja to move with stealth or to trick their opponents.
• Nawanuke no Jutsu - Escaping Skill [E-Ranked]
Nawanuke no Jutsu is a very basic Ninjutsu that allows a ninja to escape from rope binds.
• Kinobori no Waza - Act of Tree Climbing [E-Ranked]
Kinobori no Waza, the art of tree climbing serves a dual purpose. Taking part in Kinobori Shugyou (Tree Climbing Training) helps a ninja learn how to focus their chakra. It also teaches the ninja how to run up trees and walk on vertical walls. The training helps the ninja learn how to focus just the right amount of chakra to a particular part of their body. The amount needed to climb is small but it must be precise. The feet are regarded as the hardest location to master chakra focusing. So by gaining the art of this skill, the ninja will have any jutsu available (theoretically) because they will be able to focus their chakra as needed.
• Suimen Hokou no Waza - Act of Water Surface Walking [E-Ranked]
A variation on the Kinobori no Waza (Act of Tree Climbing), the art of water surface walking allows a ninja to walk on water as if it was a solid surface. Focusing an even amount of chakra out of the soles of their feet, they can balance themselves on the very surface of the water.
• Shunshin no Jutsu - Body Flicker Technique [D-Ranked]
The Body Flicker Technique is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. A puff of smoke is occasionally used to disguise the user's movements. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalise the body and move at extreme speeds. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance and elevation between the user and the intended destination. Shisui Uchiha was feared as "Shisui of the Body Flicker" (瞬身のシスイ, Shunshin no Shisui), likely referring to this technique.
• Kai - Release [C-Ranked]
Kai is a Ninjutsu which allows the ninja to avoid the effects of a Genjutsu illusion. After forming the needed handseals, the Genjutsu technique will not affect the ninja. The ninja can also use the technique on another individual who was unable to avoid the attack. After forming the needed hand seals, the ninja touches the one affected to end the affect of the spell.
• Ukojizai no Jutsu - Fierce Raining at Will [B-Ranked]
Ukojizai no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu which allows Pain to blanket a wide area with a downpour of rain. He can maintain a connection to the rain and tell when someone is obstructing it. This also allows him to detect the individual's chakra level and skill.
• Doton: Iwayado Kuzushi - Earth Release: Rock Lodging Destruction [B-Ranked]
This technique causes a cave-in by destroying the equilibrium that holds the cave together. Just removing a single vital stone throws off the balance of the cave, making it unexpectedly fragile and causing a domino effect that destroys the entire cave. The shinobi from Iwagakure use this technique as part of their pride tactic, luring several enemies into a cave to kill them all at once.
• Muon Satsujin no Jutsu - Silent Homicide Technique ~ A Rank
As the name suggests, this technique is simply a very quiet method of killing an opponent, usually from behind with a blade. Additionally, because the user moves silently, it cannot be defended against, because the attack cannot be anticipated. The user will often slit their opponent's throat, preventing any cry that might give them away. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are shown to be masters of this technique, and were even good enough to track and kill opponents through sound alone. Some shinobi also opt to use a cover such as mist or even frost to rob their opponents of their field of vision and then attack them. Learnt Thursday 20th of June 2013 in the Puppet Workshop.

Taijutsu: 4
• Hien - Flying Swallow [B-Ranked]
An addition-line ninjutsu that augments the killing power of a blade — like a kunai or sword — by flowing chakra into it. The materialised chakra is shaped like a blade, cutting up everything it touches. It is also possible to alter the attack range of the weapon by adjusting the amount of chakra put into the blade. Seeing through the movements is said to be very difficult.
The density of the chakra is so high it becomes visible. It not only raises the power of the weapon, but simultaneously turns oneself into a blade as well. The chakra-enhanced blades are strong and sharp enough to cut through solid rock and iron. The technique works best with elemental chakra, especially with wind-natured chakra which greatly increases the offensive cutting power.

Background:
Darello's story starts before he was born starting at his Grandfather and making its way to the right here and now. Darello's Grandfather was Rikuto, a famous Sungakure Puppeteer whom had shown promise at a very early age. He climbed the ranks of Suna to become as prestigious as Suna's Kogane even though puppeteers themselves counted him as far greater. And so this continued for some time, Rikuto continued to become more and more famous around the Shinobi Isles; his art immortalised in almost legendary tales of grandeur and stature. But it was when the former circus master of his old travelling home came towards him, dying and asked Rikuto to rejuvenate his old circus and join once again. It was a great success.
Whilst back at the circus, Rikuto fell in love with one of his peers; a beautiful, exotic, dancing knife thrower and the two soon began to not only work together but consider making a real future together at the circus. It was after the birth of Darello's father that the couple decided it was best to quit the circus and lead a semi-normal life; one where they weren't always moving around and where Rikuto also didn't have to risk his life for something. The family returned to Suna and Darello's Father grew up as Rikuto continued on as a carpenter, a skill gained from his many years making puppets.
Darello, when he was born however, had no other choice but to become a shinobi. Blessed with all the natural talent his Grandfather had but instead exchanging tenacity for brains; Darello exceeded in all of his classes and soon became known as "Gunshi" or "The Strategist" amongst his friends and teachers. There seemed to be no scenario the young puppeteer couldn't win or a challenge he couldn't overcome with careful planning. It wasn't until he reached the rank of Genin that people began to question him; because now it was real, all the exercises and tests that had once been done in a controlled environment were now life and death.
Proving his worth time and time again in both D and C Ranked missions and showing he wasn't just an artist. He wasn't just someone who planned his actions on fake scenarios and in board games; now he was the boy who saved lives against bandits and the such. The following Chuunin Exams was prosperous for they boy who advanced to Chuunin. He became slightly famous for his skill in puppetry and ideas for each puppet almost backing up the other one.
Gunshi, would soon advance to Jounin and later became the Temporary Kazekage with the current Kazekage on other hiatus. Darello wishes to let the village be at it's strongest when Rikuto gets back.
