The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 16 Invitation to Visit

Are you interested in becoming a real puppeteer?

Obviously, just learning some puppet-controlling techniques in this puppetry class does not make one a real puppeteer.

Therefore, Hideki's intention was undoubtedly to ask Lin whether she was willing to embark on the path of becoming a puppeteer and start to learn puppetry in a comprehensive and in-depth manner under him.

As the saying goes, Dharma should not be passed on lightly.

In the ninja world, the inheritance of ninjutsu or secret techniques has always been a very serious matter.

Especially in Konoha, because successive Hokage have tried to use the master-disciple inheritance system to dismantle the old ninja clan system, they attach great importance to the matter of accepting disciples.

However, the young ninjas present, including Lin, did not seem to be surprised by Sensei Kimura's sudden invitation to accept them as disciples.

because……

Teacher Kimura has repeated this sentence too many times!
As long as the student's chakra control score is over five points, he will ask if he is interested in becoming a real puppeteer...

Bah, scumbag!

We have been surprised several times before, so we are a little numb now...

And according to what Mr. Kimura said before, this is not a serious topic like finding a successor.

To be honest, it's more like a craftsman recruiting apprentices to help him.

And that is exactly what happened.

In order to avoid trouble, Hideki didn't even use words like "accepting a disciple".

He just said that he was going to open a workshop, and if anyone was interested in puppet making, they could go there to visit and practice at any time.

As for the fact that the product of their practice will become a product, just treat it as an unexpected surprise.

Although the third generation has not yet approved the work-study program between the school and the workshop.

But this did not prevent Hideki from recruiting several talented students to be apprentices in the workshop and establishing the basic framework of the workshop.

When the work-study program is officially implemented, these students should have mastered basic manufacturing techniques, and they can be promoted to foremen to help Xiushu train new apprentices...

Although Hideki's idea was perfect, his headhunting plan didn't seem to be going smoothly at this time.

Because even if they don't accept apprentices directly, going to the workshop to learn puppet making techniques will take up a lot of children's time and energy.

For the young ninjas, this is undoubtedly an important choice that will affect their future ninja career.

So Hideki invited several students, but none of them gave a direct affirmative answer.

And Nohara Rin, who was asked now, was no exception and looked a little hesitant.

Although Lin was born into a commoner family, unlike the ninja clan's children who had to learn family secrets, she had no time to join the workshop.

But Hideki had looked through Lin's information and knew that the child had been taking medical training courses since last school year, so he knew what she was struggling with.

Compared to the puppeteer who has a bad reputation in Konoha, a medical ninja who can save lives is obviously more attractive.

Therefore, it may not be easy to make Lin change her mind and embark on the path of becoming a puppeteer.

However, since Nohara Lin is willing to attend the second puppetry class, it means that she is still quite interested in this course, and Hideki still has a chance.

So he did not feel disappointed as before, but nodded and smiled:
"Nohara-san, you don't have to give me an answer right now."

"Think about it carefully when you get back. It would be best if you could discuss it with your parents and try to make a decision that you won't regret."

"And my workshop will be officially opened next weekend. Nohara-san, why don't you go visit it first and then make a decision..."

In fact, Nohara Lin has been determined to become a medical ninja since she was a child, and this dream has not changed until now. To be honest, if the puppetry class did not overlap with the medical class, she would not even come to this second class.

Although in this class, she did discover that she was actually quite talented in puppetry, and she also experienced a lot of fun in the process of creating chakra lines.

But it was impossible to make her give up on becoming a medical ninja.

However, she couldn't just refuse Mr. Kimura's kind invitation.

So she just nodded and agreed, thinking that it would be okay to go and take a look:
"I will definitely visit when the time comes, Mr. Kimura."

However, what she didn't know was that after getting the reply that she would visit the workshop, Hideki almost couldn't suppress the urge to curl up the corners of his mouth.

No, you can't laugh yet, you have to be patient...

Poor little girl!
It seems that Lin has forgotten how she was tricked by a little black cat to come here to attend classes...

In order to make the students willing to become apprentices in the workshop, Xiushu has naturally prepared a lot of arrangements.

Once Lin steps into the workshop for a visit, it won't be easy to escape unscathed...

After the clueless Lin left with Obito, holding the handle string made of her own hair, Hideki continued testing the students behind him.

In his previous life, his luck in lotteries was always at the level of an African chief.

In this life, his luck didn't seem to improve much.

Because after the SSR image of Nohara Rin was revealed, no student could impress him anymore.

But this is actually very scientific.

Students who are confident in their chakra control have already lined up to complete the test in order to play with the pocket puppet beast earlier.

As a result, the number of students qualified to become the workshop's first batch of apprentices does not seem to be sufficient.

Fortunately, there are still many students in the school who have not taken this course.

Therefore, Hideki's next goal is to try to get all the students in the school to take a test within the one-month training course selection period...

……

A few days passed quickly.

The Hidden Leaf Village is still peaceful today.

However, Hideki was not in the Hidden Leaf Village at this time, but was in the Konoha Forest not far from the village.

He was holding a map in his hand and a black cat was beside him. The man and the cat were walking in the depths of the Konoha Forest.

Huge trees that are so huge that more than a dozen people can hardly hug them can be seen everywhere, as if each tree has experienced hundreds of years.

The dense tree canopy blocked out the sun, and the sunlight could only be scattered on the bushes and grass below.

The air is filled with the scent of moist earth and the unique fragrance of forest grass.

Occasionally, the sound of birds chirping further highlights the depth and tranquility of this place.

Even Hideki, who was walking in the forest, couldn't help but slow down his pace, for fear of disturbing the beauty and tranquility of the forest at the moment.

But he did not forget his mission here today.

That is to collect as many useful materials as possible for the upcoming workshop...
