The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 15 Shipment

"Come on, Lin!"

"Show everyone how powerful you are!"

Amid Obito's slightly noisy encouragement, Nohara Rin walked forward with a helpless smile on her face.

After nodding in greeting to Hideki, Lin reached out and grasped the tail of the puppet snake, just like Obito had just done, and began to input chakra into it.

As the chakra was injected, the puppet snake seemed to slowly wake up, gradually twisting its body starting from the tail.

One section, two sections, three sections...

Like other students, Lin started off very smoothly.

However, starting from the fourth section that stumped Obito, she felt an increasingly obvious sense of blockage when inputting chakra.

It was like water flowing through a pipe that was almost completely blocked.

As a result, Lin began to find that it was becoming increasingly difficult to control the puppet snake.

But Lin did not give up.

She began to close her eyes and slow her breathing, focusing all her attention on the puppet snake.

Under her full concentration and control, the puppet snake finally continued to twist its body.

Four sections, five sections, six sections...

Relying on her very good chakra control, Nohara Lin managed to overcome these difficulties.

However, when it came to the seventh quarter, the situation became more serious.

Lin's brows began to frown slightly.

Because she found that the amount of chakra passing through the seventh section had become pitifully small.

With her current chakra control ability, she couldn't make the puppet snake move at all with so little chakra.

It seems this is my limit...

After several unsuccessful attempts, Lin sighed inwardly and was ready to give up.

However, at this moment, her mind suddenly recalled the words that the teacher mentioned when introducing the chakra lines.

High density of chakra lines...

Nohara Lin suddenly had an idea.

Yup!

If I can increase the density of chakra through compression, maybe I can inject more chakra into this puppet snake...

However, this leads to a new problem.

That is, she doesn't even know how to create chakra lines, let alone compress chakra...

and many more……

Lin seemed to suddenly think of something.

Because she seemed to have seen the manufacturing method of similar things somewhere...

Just now, wasn't Mr. Kimura using chakra thread to twist everyone's hair and cotton thread together to create the handle string?
The handle line was originally made to simulate the chakra line, so the structure of the two is likely to be very similar.

Coincidentally, because Lin's family was ordinary, she often helped her mother to twist cotton into thin threads since she was a child, and then made clothes or handkerchiefs.

So even though she didn't know how to make chakra threads, she was very familiar with how to make ordinary threads.

More importantly, Lin also recalled that every time she twisted the thread, a large ball of soft cotton could only be twisted into a small roll of tight cotton thread.

Isn't this the simplest compression method?

So if the production of chakra thread is really similar to that of ordinary thread, then does it also mean that spinning the originally loose chakra into chakra thread can itself increase the density of the chakra?

Although it's just an unfounded guess.

But Lin, who has always been interested in textile handicrafts, could not resist the temptation of spinning chakra into thread, and subconsciously began to try it.

She first interrupted the output of chakra and began to re-condense and sort out the chakra in her body.

Seeing that the puppet snake stopped moving, the little ninjas around thought that Lin decided to give up and were about to speak.

However, Hideki noticed that Lin seemed to have some ideas, so he stood up at the right time, raised his middle finger in front of his lips to silence everyone, so as not to disturb Lin.

Lin, who was concentrating with her eyes closed, naturally didn't know about this little episode.

After a while, she finally opened her eyes when she was ready and began to reach out to the puppet snake again.

But her method this time was very different from before.

Lin gently touched the puppet snake's tail with her five fingers and then raised her hand again.

Then, five long strips formed by chakra were pulled out from the tips of her five fingers and the tail of the puppet snake.

Although she had tried her best to restrain the spread of chakra, the long strips of chakra released from her fingertips were still quite thick and could not be called chakra lines at all.

But this was also within her expectations, because these chakra strips were only semi-finished products.

Then Lin began to control them to stretch and rotate like twisting a towel, using the most traditional twisting technique to twist the chakra into thin chakra threads.

However, similar to cotton yarn, these chakra threads are still very fragile.

Lin could feel that if she wasn't careful, they might break off and dissipate into the air.

So she also followed the method of making cotton thread and began to twist the five chakra threads together, and then twisted them together by rotating them. In this way, a tighter and more stable chakra thread was born.

But that’s not all.

Because whether you can use it to successfully control the puppet snake is the real test.

Lin began to carefully extend the chakra line from the puppet snake's tail into its body, extending it deeper along the thin line made of chakra conductive material...

Needless to say, the first three sections were easy to explain. Even levels four, five and six were easily passed by Lin.

Only when she reached the seventh level, which had been impregnable, did Lin experience the familiar feeling of obstruction again.

However, with the help of the chakra line she had just created, she finally broke through it.

It’s a pity that Lin’s chakra lines are just the product of last-minute preparation.

When facing the more difficult eighth section, the chakra line soon broke due to the heavy load, and ultimately failed to break through...

But even so, her achievements are enough to attract everyone's attention.

"Seven points, Lin, you are amazing!"

First, Obito on the side couldn't wait to shout loudly, as if he was proud of it.

Although Obito was a little depressed because his grades were ruthlessly crushed by Rin, his happiness for Rin still prevailed.

Because he had been paying close attention to Lin since she was a child, and he knew how hardworking and diligent Lin, who came from a commoner family, had worked in order to catch up with her classmates who were from the ninja clan.

The surrounding ninjas could not help but marvel at this. They had never expected that the usually inconspicuous Nohara Lin actually had such a unique skill...

You should know that up to now, there are very few students who can get more than five points, and almost all of them are children from the ninja clan.

For example, Shiranui Genma at 5 points, Asuma at 6 points, Yuhi Kurenai at 6 points...

And basically everyone fell at the seventh level.

The only ones who succeeded in breaking through were Lin and Hyuga Karumo, who scored eight points thanks to his family background.

As a teacher, Hideki was even more delighted.

It's shipped! It's shipped!
He now felt as surprised as if he had finally drawn an SSR rare card from a pay-to-win mobile game in his previous life.

After testing so many students, I finally found a gifted child!

Although Hideki actually knew that Lin's test scores would be very good.

Because he remembered that in the original work, although Lin's strength was not very good, she once used the Palm Fairy Technique to treat Kakashi.

You have to know that this is a high-difficulty A-level medical ninjutsu. Even in the medical class, only a few elites can learn it.

The reason why the Palm Immortal Technique is difficult to learn is that it requires precise adjustment of the amount of Yang Release Chakra according to the specific situation of the wound or affected area.

Once an overdose is administered, it will damage the patient's normal circulatory system and even cause the patient to fall into a coma.

Therefore, the prerequisite for mastering the Palm Fairy Technique is to have excellent chakra control.

And since Nohara Rin will be able to learn the Palm Fairy Technique in the future, her current chakra control ability will naturally not be too bad.

But Hideki felt that for Lin, who came from a commoner family, getting five or six points was already a very good result.

So when Hideki saw Lin got seven points, he was also a little surprised.

But what surprised him the most was that Lin actually mastered the method of creating chakra lines.

And judging from Lin's performance just now, this method was something she came up with on the spur of the moment.

Although it was just the most primitive and rough chakra line, it was already a remarkable achievement for a seven-year-old girl.

You should know that one of the important reasons why Hideki came to the Ninja School to teach was to train assistants who could help him share the research and development work.

Just like Kabuto Yakushi to Orochimaru.

Lin, who has good chakra control and has demonstrated innovative development capabilities, is undoubtedly a very good candidate.

Even Lin's commoner background is a big plus.

Because no matter how good the chakra control and IQ of those children from the ninja clan are, it is almost impossible for them to spend all their time practicing puppetry, let alone becoming his assistant.

Therefore, although Lin, who possesses these three advantages, may not be as strong as many of her classmates, she is an absolute prize for Hideki!
The only thing that makes Hideki a little regretful is that although Lin is a child with many good qualities, she still has a big shortcoming.

That is, as Obito's sweetheart, Nohara Rin will most likely be sacrificed as a sacrifice for Obito to awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan in the future under the design of Uchiha Madara.

Although Hideki's appearance has made the future unpredictable.

But as long as Obito continues to like Rin, and Uchiha Madara continues to choose Obito as the executor of his plans, this tragic future is still very likely to happen.

——But that will eventually happen in about six years.

It is impossible for Hideki to give up the talent in front of him for something that may happen many years later.

Not to mention that he actually admired the kind and strong Nohara Rin in the original work since his previous life, and felt sorry for her death.

However, if he is asked to fight Uchiha Madara in the future, I'm sorry, Hideki really can't do it.

As a time traveler, although he has lived here for many years, there is still some gap between him and this ninja world.

Therefore, his principle has always been to take care of himself first, and then choose to help others when he can.

However, if it was just to teach knowledge and give this poor little girl a chance to change her fate, Hideki would be very happy.

After making a decision in his heart, Hideki began to speak to Lin in a gentle tone:
"Nohara-san, I wonder if you are interested in becoming a real puppeteer?"
