The Batista's notoriety as a fūinjutsu and juinjutsu specialist spread across the land in the war torn era. Enemies feared his skill sets and attempted to assassinate him. They were nearly successful. However, Batista survived and sought a better method of dealing with opponents. Puppeteers played a significant role in attempts on Batista's life, as did jinchuuriki. Batista gleaned from these attacks a seed of an idea. He developed concepts of binding one's soul to a possessing entity in order to move one's body as a puppet. Seeing a weakness in combat sealing methods that his clan became known for, Batista Kittu invented this particular style of puppetry to compliment senjingan sealing techniques.
