Ancient Puppet Dance: Ascendence

After using the Ancient Puppet Technique, Hotaru moves his puppets in for a final decisive blow: adding an individual to his collection. After summoning his five specialised puppets in the previous technique, Hotaru unleashes each of the specialised creations' signature techniques, launching a volley of projectiles as well as explosive devices to pulverise the target area, with the technique.

With this technique, the final touch to the previous jutsu is added, if the target is still alive. The five specialised puppets form a circle around the target, firing several chakra threads towards the enemy. Even if the enemy dodges these threads, the technique is already under effect as several other threads have been embedded in the ground below. These threads rise from underneath the ground, through the enemy's feet. After this, the puppets refire the chakra threads and effectively bind the victim to the user, creating a living puppet. All that is left to be done is to kill the immobilised enemy, and create a new puppet.
