Ninjutsu Technique
Name: Chakra Thread Merging Technique
Rank: C
Element: N/A
Range: Short
Chakra Consumption: Some
Description: A puppet user may pay some chakra to temporarily merge chakra threads from one hand to the other, combining the sets on one finger. While only one puppet may be controlled in this fashion, and the other remaining motionless, the user temporarily gains a free hand to perform basic taijutsu strikes or use ninja tools. This merge of strings only lasts for the duration of a post, and the user must return the threads to their hand once the post ends, otherwise they lose control of their puppet and must reactivate the Chakra Threads technique in order to use the puppet again.

The user, under the duration of this technique, may clap their hands together in order to transfer the chakra strings to the other hand, giving them more dexterity with their hand movements.

Ninjutsu Technique
Name: Wood Release: Stake
Rank: D
Element: Mokuton
Range: Short
Chakra Consumption: Low, Some
Description: The user can pay varying amounts of chakra to make wooden stakes of varying sizes. By clapping their hands, the user can choose to make a six inch long spear-tip shaped stake at the cost of low chakra, or a 24" spear-tip shaped stake with a hilt for Some chakra. The stakes are sharp enough to be capable of impaling basic defenses such as clothing, and will last for a few strikes against metal or more powerful tools. The stake will form from the user's palms as they release the clap, taking approximately three seconds to form.

Hmm. Counting how nerfed this is, Approved.
