Their strength reaching Jonin level was determined solely by the materials used to make them. It did not mean those puppets truly possessed Jonin-level strength.
A puppet was still a puppet. It could not compare to a person.
For example, Orochimaru was a Jonin. Hunting those powerful creatures comparable to a Jonin was absurdly easy for him. That was the difference.
"So, if quality isn't enough, I can only make up for it with quantity. I came all this way to save you, so you'll have to help me hunt more materials in the future."
"No problem."
Orochimaru nodded with a smile, agreeing to the request.
"I don't have a problem with it either. Cough, cough."
Jiraiya felt as though his entire body was falling apart.
Hatake Sakumo hesitated before speaking. "Jingyi, your own strength shouldn't be weak, right? Do you really need to prepare so many puppets?"
After what Orochimaru had said, even if Jingyi was only a medical ninja, he had to be the same type as Tsunade. His personal strength definitely would not be weak.
If that was the case, why pursue such an enormous number of puppets?
"Who said that? That's slander!!"
Jingyi refuted him excitedly. "I'm just a medical ninja. As everyone knows, medical ninjas are the weakest and lack the ability to protect themselves, so I need to prepare more puppets to keep myself safe."

Then what about us?
Hatake Sakumo immediately lost the desire to speak.
"Count me in for the materials."
Someone had come from far away to rescue them. They had to repay that debt, and Jingyi only wanted materials for making puppets. That was hardly an unreasonable request.
In the Shinobi World, there might not be much of anything else, but
