Back then, Baki's brain really had been burned away by Hyuga Sho.
Afterward, Chiyo revived him with Forbidden Jutsu: Self-Reincarnation.
Perhaps because it was his first time using the jutsu.
The technique was not flawless.
So...
A tiny side effect appeared in the technique.
Part of Baki's bodily tissue began to slowly break down.
This deterioration grew more severe as he aged.
This year, his arm broke down.
Tomorrow, his leg would be ruined.
In order to let Baki move freely,
Chiyo continued researching puppets.
She replaced him with all kinds of Prosthetic Arms and legs.
Before he knew it...
Most of Baki's limbs had already been replaced with steel creations.
And because he had been revived through Living Corpse Reincarnation,
Baki was not as prone to death as an ordinary person.
He had entered a half-human state.

Over the years,
Chiyo had constantly adjusted Baki's body.
Baki, in turn, served both Elders.
He learned about developments in the Shinobi World through Ebizo's intelligence network,
while constantly testing his body's functions, allowing it to perform and improve more effectively.
"His body was turned into machinery too... That guy Baki... turned himself into a Human Puppet as well?!"
Hyuga Sho narrowed his eyes and activated his Byakugan.
He discovered that Baki's entire body,
aside from some flesh, part of his bones, and his brain,
even had many of his internal organs replaced with puppet organs.
Rat-tat-tat-tat!!!
Heavy Senbon fired in a barrage.
They swept toward Kakuzu like a Gatling Gun.
The intense barrage...
Kakuzu was sent flying backwards in an instant by the tremendous impact.
This scene.
Left everyone dumbfounded.
"The old hag's technology... Not only
