The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Why is Chapter 107 released?

The next morning, in the orphanage cafeteria.

Hideki yawned repeatedly and finished the breakfast prepared by Aunt Kelly with sleepy eyes.

Even his favorite strawberry milk didn't cheer him up much.

"I saw that the attic was not lit last night. Why are you still so sleepy, Hideki?"

Even Aunt Kelly couldn't help but ask when she came over to collect the plates.

"Maybe I didn't sleep well."

Hideki suppressed a yawn and said something perfunctory.

Otherwise, I can't say that I spent most of the night working in the warehouse...

However, Aunt Kelly easily accepted Hideki's statement and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him:
“Today is indeed a big day.”

"Hideki, it's normal that you were so nervous that you couldn't sleep last night."

Hideki scratched his head when he heard that.

It’s just the opening of a toy store, is there any need to make such a serious matter?
Do you think I would be too nervous to sleep?

But after leaving the cafeteria, Hideki discovered that Aunt Kelly was not the only one who had such thoughts...

He saw that the dozen or so children who were going to work as toy store clerks were already wearing work clothes and standing in front of the orphanage waiting for him, but their expressions looked a little stiff.

Besides them, Dean Kemp, Matt Dai and his son, and other children from the orphanage also gathered here to cheer them up and see them off.

If you don’t know, you might think these kids are preparing to go to the battlefield…

Hideki held his forehead lightly with some helplessness.

It seems that the confidentiality measures were too good, which made everyone a little worried about the future of the toy store and workshop.

Even though the children are now living a life of child labor, in Hideki's previous life it was enough to sue his boss into bankruptcy.

But for them, this is the happiest time in their short lives.

It’s no wonder that everyone is so worried, fearing that they will return to the hard days of the past.

Seeing that everyone's attention was gradually focused on him, Xiushu felt that he needed to say something.

So he stretched out his hand, and suddenly a small platform rose from the ground.

Then he jumped lightly and stood on it.

The sophisticated approach made everyone quiet down, waiting for Hideki to speak.

"Cough cough."

After clearing his throat, Hideki said:

"Today the sky is clear and the waves are magnificent."

"The rise and fall of the workshop depends on this battle!"

"You all need to work harder... I don't know what will happen!"

Pfft!
Everyone was originally preparing to shout "Aboard!", but they didn't expect to be greeted by "No way!", so they all fell to the ground in shock.

After they got up speechlessly, Hideki jumped off the stage and smiled, spreading his hands:
"Based on my many years of experience fighting on the front lines of the Second Shinobi World War."

"The outcome of a battle often depends on the amount of preparation before the battle."

"So if you think about how much preparation we have done for this, you will find that there is nothing to worry about."

After Hideki's joke just now, everyone has relaxed a lot.

Now, thinking back on what Hideki said and the efforts they had made during this period, everyone's restless mood finally calmed down, and they even began to feel a sense of confidence and expectation.

Seeing this, Hideki nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the adults:

"Dean Kemp, Aunt Kelly, Senior Dai, I'll leave the orphanage to you."

After getting the responses from the three people, Hideki turned around and took a step forward, then waved his hand and said,

"Well, let's go!"

"Don't keep our guests waiting too long."

……

Not long after, in the office of the Root leader.

With a pot of tea and a book, Danzo was leaning back in his chair, enjoying the leisure time between work.

The tea is top-grade Gyokuro tea, which exudes a unique aroma of green seaweed.

Danzo, who has always advocated the simple style of traditional ninja, certainly would not spend money to buy such expensive tea.

This was actually a gift from some foreign businessmen in order to buy toys wholesale from him and then bring them back to their own countries to sell.

Danzo would not be bribed by a few pieces of tea leaves, so he was ready to give them a break so as to gain greater benefits. And these principles were learned from the business textbook he had recently started to study.

Perhaps it was because of the fanaticism of the converts.

Danzo, who once disdained the affairs of merchants, actually developed a strong interest in it after being forced into the sea.

After taking a sip of tea, Danzo smacked his lips and muttered to himself:

"Today is the day when Hideki Kimura's toy store opened."

"such a pity……"

"I didn't expect that his movie has not been completed yet, so my plan has to be postponed as well."

“But he didn’t postpone the opening date because of this, which means he is really anxious to make the workshop profitable.”

“This is good news for me…”

Just as Danzo was drawing on the experience in the book and thinking about how to take advantage of this situation, a hurried sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

"Lord Danzo!"

Then there was a rapid knock on the door.

"I have urgent information to report to you."

"Come in." Danzo said calmly.

Then a Root ninja wearing a mouse mask walked into the office quickly, panting and about to speak, but was interrupted by Danzo:

"Zi Shu, don't be anxious. Have some tea first."

This little rat was sent by Danzo to monitor Hideki Kimura's toy store.

So he had already guessed that Hideki Kimura must have come up with some new trick to promote his newly opened toy store.

But Danzo was not in a hurry.

Because in the face of absolute power, all tricks are in vain.

He has already seized the initiative, has great financial power, and has a strong scientific research department to rely on. As long as he doesn't make any mistakes, he has no idea how he can lose.

So no matter what new ideas Hideki Kimura comes up with, they will soon be borrowed and imitated by him and become nutrients for the roots to continue to thrive.

In a distant different dimension, a boss named Ma was giving a thumbs up to Danzo's idea...

Zishu was impressed by Danzo's calmness and took the tea respectfully and drank it in one gulp.

"Tell me, without the big killer of movies, what new things will Kimura Hideki come up with to promote his toy store?"

But to Danzo's surprise, Rat's expression suddenly became a little strange when he heard that.

This gave him a bad feeling, so he picked up the teacup and took a big sip of tea to calm his nerves.

At this time, the rat gritted his teeth and said:
"Report to the Lord, it's nothing else, Kimura Hideki is playing an outdoor movie in front of the store right now..."

puff!
Before he could finish his words, Danzo sprayed a mouthful of strong tea onto Rat's face!

……

After a moment, outside the root base.

Danzo, feeling a little impatient, decided to go and find out for himself.

Because the Rat's report was too unbelievable.

What colorful images, what a huge screen, the most outrageous thing is that the images can be clearly seen in broad daylight...

It's not like Danzo hadn't thought about the possibility that Hideki would improve film equipment.

As an inventive genius favored by Hiruzen, he would not be too surprised even if Kimura Hideki could really improve the equipment that Kojiro described.

——But the prerequisite is that Hideki has to go through a long period of research.

Although Danzo did not understand film equipment, he knew that neither ninjutsu nor technology could be achieved overnight.

You have to know that the current movie display effect is still very poor. Not only is it black and white, but you must go to a specially built movie theater to get a better viewing experience.

Even if it is played outdoors at night, the picture cannot be seen clearly if the moonlight is brighter.

If you want to improve from this level to the level mentioned by the Rat, the time required must be measured in years, right?
This is also the reason why he wants to use the cinema to threaten Hideki.

But now, it’s only been more than half a month since Hideki said he wanted to make a movie!
No matter how smart he is, it is impossible for him to raise film technology to such a high level all at once!
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
However, Danzo stopped not far away, and the only trace of luck in his heart completely disappeared.

Because the screen that Zishu was talking about was even bigger than he had imagined.

Even though he was still far away from Hideki's toy store, he had already seen the screen.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that the position of the screen is very conspicuous, allowing him to find it immediately:

Look, isn't that huge screen projected right onto the cliff just below the Hokage Rock?
