Actually, Minato Namikaze didn't think highly of the Puppet Technique. In fact, no one in Konoha did.
In Minato Namikaze's view, the Puppet Technique had a low lower limit and a low upper limit.
Just as Kamiya Oishi was about to rush into the earthen wall to attack Kamidai, Kamidai angrily unfurled a Scroll and placed his hand on it.
"Spiritual Summoning!"
After being chased by Kamiya Oishi for so long, who clung to him like a leech, even Kamidai, who was as patient as a clay figurine, had his temper.
Minato Namikaze slapped his forehead. What was I thinking?
Kakashi squinted at the Scroll in Kamidai's hand. "That Scroll looks like an item - storage one."
Minato Namikaze sized up Kannazuki, Kamidai's Puppet. "That's not a human. It's a Puppet."
The reason the lower limit is low is that as long as a ninja can use chakra threads to connect to a Puppet, they can directly control the Puppet to engage in The Battle.
Minato Namikaze remembered what Yamanaka Saiichi had said after peering into Kamidai's memory. The Puppets made by Kamidai seemed to far surpass those of the Puppet masters in Sunagakure Village.
However, Minato Namikaze's first thought upon seeing Kannazuki, Kamidai's Puppet, was... his teacher Jiraiya might quite like this type.
The low upper limit was because when it came to a ninja controlling a Puppet, it wasn't about how strong the ninja was, but how strong the Puppet was.
If the Puppet is strong, the ninja controlling it will also appear strong, but their strength is still limited.
If a Puppet master lost their Puppet, their strength would drop significantly.
Rin Nohara also exclaimed in surprise, "Such a realistic Puppet?"
Earth Release: Earth Spikes!
A large number of sharp rocks sprang out from the ground and rushed towards Kamidai.
Kamidai controlled Kannazuki. Kannazuki hugged Kamidai with her left hand and leaped onto a tree trunk, dodging the sharp rocks on the ground.
Then Kamidai waved his hand vigorously. Kannazuki grabbed a ninja sword and flew towards Kamiya Oishi.
Earth Release: Earth Bullets!
Kamiya Oishi used chakra to condense into earth bullets and shot them at Kannazuki.
Under Kamidai's control, Kannazuki was extremely agile, constantly dodging the earth bullets in the air.
In an instant, Kannazuki was right in front of Kamiya Oishi.
Kannazuki swung the ninja sword at Kamiya Oishi.
Kamiya Oishi took out a Kunai and clashed with Kannazuki's ninja sword.
Kannazuki was made of metal inside and had quite a lot of strength.
The huge force made Kamiya Oishi take several steps back.
Kamidai didn't give Kamiya Oishi a chance to catch his breath. He controlled Kannazuki to approach Kamiya Oishi again and swing the ninja sword at him.
Kamiya Oishi blocked Kannazuki's ninja sword with the Kunai again.
But suddenly, a blade extended from the tip of Kannazuki's right foot and kicked upwards at Kamiya Oishi.
Kamiya Oishi was startled and immediately tilted his head back, barely avoiding it.
Kamiya Oishi stepped back while forming hand seals, and his gaze was fixed on Kamidai, who was standing on a tree trunk not far away, controlling Kannazuki.
It was a common consensus when dealing with Puppet masters that there was no need to fight the Puppet head - on. As long as you took down the Puppet master, since the Puppet was the Puppet master's main means of attack, the Puppet master's own strength was not strong.
"Fire Style! Dragon Fire Technique!"
Kamiya Oishi possesses chakra of both Fire and Earth attributes. Although he is most proficient in Earth Style ninja art, he can also perform a few Fire Style techniques.
After forming the hand seals, Kamiya Oishi unleashed a straight - line stream of flames that swiftly rushed towards Kamidai.
Kannazuki immediately opened its mouth, which had a tube inside. It ejected a powerful water jet to block Kamiya Oishi's flames.
This water jet was released through a Scroll inside Kannazuki.
However, the water jet released by this Scroll was rather weak and ordinary. Kamidai got these Scrolls with the help of the Third Kazekage, and the quantity was limited.
It can't be compared to Scorpion's Scroll: Infernal Prison of the Howling Tempest and Scroll: Severe Erosion Flowing Pillar, and it can't last long.
Now that the Scroll inside Kannazuki was depleted, it closed in on Kamiya Oishi again, performing Zangei rapidly with the ninja sword in its hand.
Meanwhile, blades would pop out from Kannazuki's joints from time to time to make sneak attacks. A hole opened in the center of its chest, and it would fire out Kunai occasionally. These various tactics left Kamiya Oishi overwhelmed in defense.
Kamiya Oishi was now sweating. He was at a disadvantage and could only defend.
Obito stared at Kannazuki's fierce attacks in shock and blurted out, 'Wow, this Puppet is so awesome!'
Kakashi fixed his eyes firmly on Kamidai, his eyes ablaze with fighting spirit.
Minato Namikaze smiled and asked, "What? Do you want to give it a try?"
Kakashi nodded vigorously.
"Then disguise yourself well and don't expose yourself."
"Thanks, teacher!"
Kakashi immediately used the Transformation Technique to disguise himself as an Iwagakure Village ninja.
Kakashi used the Body Flicker Technique and disappeared from the spot.
Minato Namikaze looked at Kamidai again.
Kamidai's Puppet Technique was indeed quite powerful, but Minato Namikaze was more eager to see Kamidai's Magnet Ninja Art.
While Kamidai was carefully operating Kannazuki, he suddenly noticed several glints of light flying towards him.
Kamidai stared intently and realized they were Kunai glinting with the Reflection of the Gekkō.
Kamidai immediately retreated backward to avoid the Kunai.
The next second after avoiding the Kunai, Kakashi's Tantō struck the place where Kamidai had just been standing.
If Kamidai had dodged a bit later, he might have been hit.
Kamidai saw another 'Iwagakure Village ninja', and he was truly frightened just then.
Due to Kakashi's sudden attack, Kamidai couldn't control Kannazuki to attack Kamiya Oishi immediately, giving Kamiya Oishi a chance to catch his breath and create some distance from Kannazuki.
After calming down, Kamidai got angry.
"Are you guys never going to stop? I'm not some item to be given away as you please, you bastards!"
Kamidai twitched his index finger. A slit appeared on Kannazuki's smooth back, and a large quantity of Iron Sand emerged from within Kannazuki and hovered in the air.
"Magnet Style: Iron Sand Shower!"
After forming the hand seals, the Iron Sand took the form of flying stones and was launched rapidly in all directions.
Seeing the large amount of Iron Sand attacking in a wide - range like a shotgun blast, Kamiya Oishi and Kakashi simultaneously used Earth Style ninja arts to block the Iron Sand.
Kamidai controlled Kannazuki to return to his side. It floated behind him, and the Iron Sand surrounded Kamidai's body.
Kamidai glared angrily at Kamiya Oishi and Kakashi.
"I won't let the two of you get away today!"
Kannazuki opened her eyes, and a dark - green poisoned ninja sword materialized in her right hand.
Kamiya Oishi formed hand seals and pressed his hands on the ground.
The biggest drawback of Puppets is that they need to be controlled with chakra threads, so it's quite easy to deal with them by targeting this weakness.
Due to this limitation, there are very few people who become powerful through Puppetry.
Kamidai didn't want to fight; he just wanted to escape. But now, Kamidai was blocked by four earthen walls set up by Kamiya Oishi.
So even though Yamanaka Saiichi said that the Puppets made by Kamidai seemed to far surpass those of the Puppet masters from Sunagakure Village, Minato Namikaze didn't think much of it. What he valued was Kamidai's Magnet Kekkei Genkai and Magnet Ninja Art.
Kamidai concentrated his chakra, and chakra threads appeared on his ten fingers, sticking to Kannazuki.
Kamidai moved his ring finger.
A puff of smoke appeared, and Kamidai's Kannazuki Puppet emerged.
Obito widened his eyes. "Is this the Summoning Jutsu? Can it summon a person? And it's a super - beautiful big sister?!"
