All crafting done, 120 XP total

Chika returned to his shop, still inside his Yuru puppet as he was still suffering from what was probably Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, but given he was also a ninja and nearly got his back snapped by a man who had lit himself to life with lightning chakra, fried his teammate, and nearly killed the both of them, yeah, there was probably several more mental health issues going on in his head. Not that that would stop him, no, he had plans to work on, and things that needed to be prepped for when the next battle came along. Despie how bad things had gone, they had somehow won and he had been paid, though overall the legacy of the second had been...upheld, and that was annoying. It was honestly a little concerning, as he still couldn't quite reach the hokage's office to check and see if the document was real with his sight, but he was close; he could make out the edges of it. And he'd reach those other edges through his crafting, as he found looking at things at a micro level often improved his macro sight.

Activating his eyes he'd begin work. First and foremost as a ninja given he couldn't make fire with chakra, he needed a supplement in the form of a lighter. it wouldn't be too fancy, but if he tossed that sucket into a coal dust grenade or petrolium oil, they'd have to deal with some first and maybe second degree burns. speaking of those greneades, he'd make another set of those as well, since he couldn't not have enough of those to be perfectly honest.

He'd take a step back, satisfied with the work he'd done. Making a lighter and the eggshell grenades was a lot easier then expected, especially with his refined Dojutsu sight. Things were still eating at him though, and while he had been working he had made sure to gather his other puppets during his small breaks from the table. Now, with his seven puppets inside the room, he did something he'd been wanting to hold off on till later, but he couldn't risk their destruction right now.

Taking the time to properly make the handseals for each puppet, he'd send all but his greatest puppet Yuru back to the home of the spiders for safekeeping, as the battle at Mejing proved that while his mobile pack was good, it wasn't perfect yet and needed more refinements before he could properly use it. It did hurt a little to see the four humanoid puppets go, but he could upgrade them later when he had time and better blueprints.
