The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 22 I have a special way to touch corpses

The camera returns to the ground again.

At this time, Nakamura had lost his balance due to a sudden feeling of dizziness and fell to the ground with a thud.

Moreover, the feeling of dizziness did not disappear because of the pain of falling. Instead, it became more and more intense, making it difficult for Nakamura to even maintain his chakra line.

The mantis puppet not far away immediately stopped moving and stood quietly in place.

Then dark red blood began to flow from the corners of Nakamura's mouth.

Feeling that his life seemed to be slipping away, Nakamura's originally hysterical eyes gradually began to clear up and he realized what was happening...

Ah, it was the poison needle at the beginning...

I didn't expect that even after cutting off my lower leg and taking so much antidote specially made by Chiyo-sama, I still couldn't escape...

Hideki Kimura, how many secrets do you have?
But all this has nothing to do with Nakamura anymore.

In his dying moments, his blurry eyes happened to see a small piece of wood on the ground not far away, which must have fallen out of his arms when he fell.

Nakamura forced a self-deprecating smile.

I even laughed at Hideki Kimura for losing his life because of this piece of wood.

It turned out that he was the fool who let down his guard after getting the wood and lost his life easily.

"The moment the enemy captures its prey is the best time to launch a sneak attack..."

"The one who really didn't understand this sentence was me..."

At this point, Nakamura's groggy brain could no longer support his thoughts, and his eyelids felt incredibly heavy, so he finally closed his eyes...

The last scene he saw in his life was the corpse puppet that looked like Kimura Hideki staggering towards him, releasing strands of chakra from the tips of its ten fingers, slowly reaching towards him...

……

After the battle was won, the popular part of touching corpses naturally came to the stage.

However, Hideki still sat in the dungeon, with no intention of leaving.

Because to be honest, he actually has special skills in touching corpses...

Under Hideki's control, a small passage was formed on the top of the dungeon. Then various objects began to fall in front of Hideki along the passage under the traction of the chakra lines.

A Sand Village standard ninja tool bag, a puppeteer tool bag, about 50,000 taels of coins, a notebook, a bounty order, and some sundries...

Obviously, these are the spoils that Hideki is collecting from the enemy through the chakra lines.

Using chakra lines to touch corpses is a good habit that Hideki has developed over the years.

Because of his powerful chakra control, Hideki can use chakra lines to find all the useful things on the corpse in great detail without missing anything.

Secondly, of course, Hideki was also worried about the possibility that the enemy would be so cruel as to transform his corpse into a death trap.

After all, he often does this himself, although he uses that dummy puppet...

In short, as long as the chakra lines are checked, the possibility that there are traps or poisons on the objects and corpses can be basically ruled out.

But even so, Hideki had no intention of reaching out to touch these things, and still used chakra lines to further examine them.

There's nothing much to say about the ninja tool bag, tool kit, money and some sundries; they are just a small subsidy.

As Hideki had expected, the notes did not contain much useful information. They only recorded some daily expenses and experiences during the trip.

Apart from finally finding out that the guy he killed was named Nakamura, Hideki didn't gain much.

But this is also very normal.

The situation where a villain would carry around a secret manual would probably only happen in novels.

So Hideki was not disappointed. After all, there was still a puppet on the ground waiting to be recovered, so he was making a profit no matter how he looked at it.

So Hideki's attention quickly focused on the bounty order.

Written on it was his name, Kimura Hideki. "A reward of 30 million taels, regardless of life or death, it seems that the Sand Village really hates me..."

Although Hideki had a premonition of this day, he did not expect it to come so soon.

You know, he hasn't even finished his internship as a teacher.

It is not difficult to imagine that assassinations like this will probably continue to occur in the future.

But Hideki isn't too worried yet.

Because if the Sand Village really regarded him as a serious threat, they would not issue a bounty order, but directly send an elite team to carry out a decapitation operation on him.

Since Hideki is very particular about hiding, in the eyes of Sunagakure, his level of puppetry has not yet reached the point where he needs to be eradicated at all costs.

Of course, as Hideki teaches and builds his workshop, Sunagakure's opinion of him will probably rise, to the point where it becomes intolerable.

Therefore, Hideki must accumulate enough strength before this to cope with the increasingly severe tests in the future...

……

After using the Earth Dragon Hiding Technique to sink Nakamura's body underground and then using the storage scroll to recover the two puppets, Hideki ended his first exploration of the Valley of the End and returned to the Hidden Leaf Village.

Although he was carrying a bounty of 30 million taels, Hideki's life did not change significantly afterwards, and he continued to do what he was supposed to do.

After all, he rarely leaves the village now.

No matter how powerful a bounty hunter is, he would not dare to openly attack Konoha's ninjas in the village.

Otherwise, even if he got the reward, he might not live to spend it.

The only risk is that Hideki still needs to go to the Konoha Great Forest from time to time to find useful chakra conduction materials.

Whether it is for the workshop or to strengthen his puppet, materials are an indispensable part for Xiushu, and he will never give up because of danger.

Moreover, with the triple protection of radar perception technique, dummy puppet and earth dragon hiding technique, Hideki is very confident in protecting himself.

However, Hideki probably doesn't have much time to collect materials recently.

Thanks to the help of Dean Kemp, the workshop plan has progressed very quickly and has entered the countdown to its official opening.

Although the real workshop has not yet been built, Kemp has connected several rooms on the first floor of the orphanage to serve as a temporary workshop, which is sufficient for simple production work.

The materials and tools that Hideki asked Ninjumanden-do to purchase have also arrived one after another and can be put into production at any time.

Now the only apprentices left are those responsible for the core production links.

But it doesn't matter, because Hideki's weekend visit to the workshop for students has quietly arrived...

……

The open space in front of the orphanage gate on a weekend morning.

Many children were chasing and playing in the open space, and the sound of laughter could be heard everywhere.

Amidst the laughter and joy, there were two figures who were also children but seemed somewhat out of place. They were staring at the children with confused looks on their faces.

"Lin, are you sure you got the address right?"

Kurenai Yuhi, who was wearing a red dress, asked hesitantly.

Lin, who was standing by, was dressed the same as usual, but she said with some uncertainty:

"I...I also followed the address given by the teacher, so it shouldn't be wrong..."

Today is the day when Mr. Kimura invites the top students in chakra control to visit the workshop.

Both Yuhi Kurenai and Nohara Rin were invited, so they came here together.

But the scene before them really made the two little girls a little confused.

After all, they were clearly going to a workshop.

But no matter how you look at it, the building in front of you is an orphanage!
