In the quiet sanctity of his office, Inoka felt the weight of leadership pressing down. The silence that stretched between Tenbo and Tentai was palpable, a stark contrast to the usual bustling activity of the Hokage’s office. Sensing that something was amiss, and perhaps not wanting to deal with it in Tenbo’s presence, Inoka decided to take action. “Tentai, let’s reschedule this meeting. My presence is needed elsewhere at the moment,” he said, his voice even but firm, effectively dismissing the meeting and clearing the room.
Once alone, Inoka’s mind raced with the responsibilities that beckoned. He summoned a human-sized puppet, intricately crafted and perfect for his needs. With precise movements, he placed a sealing tag on the bottom half of the puppet’s head. Channeling his chakra and focus, he cloned his consciousness and a portion of his chakra into the puppet, using his clan’s advanced Mind Puppet Switch Cursed Seal Technique. This allowed him to operate through the puppet as if he were there himself, a clever ploy to handle multiple tasks simultaneously while conserving his energy.
The puppet, now an exact replica of Inoka, stood up, the transformation complete. It shared a bright, charismatic smile with the real Inoka, exuding the confidence of the Hokage. “Off to Amegakure, I go,” the puppet declared, and with a series of hand seals, it disappeared in a puff of smoke, heading towards the train station.

Puppet of Inoka - Traveling to Amegakure:
Bounding across the rooftops with agile leaps, the puppet captured the attention of the villagers below. Murmurs of awe and curiosity followed its path, “Woah, is that the new Hokage?” they whispered as they watched the figure move with purpose towards the train station. Upon arrival, it timed its entry perfectly, boarding the train just as it was ready to depart. Settling into the private quarters, the journey to Amegakure was swift, under an hour thanks to the efficient travel network.
Stepping off the train in Amegakure, the puppet retained the dignified aura of the Hokage, drawing more curious glances from the rain-soaked locals. It moved confidently through the unfamiliar streets, its presence alone demanding respect. “Excuse me, where do I find the Amekage Yonrochi?” it inquired politely of a passerby, hoping to be directed towards the Amekage’s office without causing any unnecessary stir. The mission was clear, and Inoka’s puppet was ready to navigate the delicate political waters of this impromptu diplomatic visit.
