The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 26 Worker wants to do his job well

Interesting crafting tips?
The little ninjas were originally obsessed with various toys, but after hearing what the teacher said, they immediately came to their senses and were full of curiosity.

After all, Mr. Kimura has always demonstrated all kinds of novel and interesting things in class and has never disappointed them.

So everyone had to suppress the urge to continue playing with toys, and each found a seat with their favorite toy.

Then everyone urged Hideki with expectant eyes:
Mr. Kimura, please start your performance!

Although he felt a little helpless about the attitude of everyone who was more interested in watching the show than in learning, Hideki quickly entered the teaching mode and began to talk:
“As the saying goes, if you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools.”

“The quality of the tools will directly affect the difficulty of production and the quality of the finished product.”

"I know that everyone has their own study tasks as students, and they don't have much time and energy to spend on learning puppet making technology."

"So I'm going to introduce you to an interesting tool and how to use it."

“It not only allows everyone to master the basic puppet making techniques in a short period of time, but also allows you to easily improve the quality of the finished product.”

Many of the young ninjas looked skeptical when they heard this.

How could there be such a magical tool in the world?

Even if it really exists, this tool must be very valuable, otherwise it would have been popularized in the ninja world long ago.

However, the person who said this was not someone else but Mr. Kimura, who had already brought them many surprises.

Therefore, no one jumped to conclusions easily, so as to avoid the same incident as in the previous class where they were slapped in the face by the teacher.

Hideki seemed to have seen through their thoughts and smiled:

"Don't worry, the tools I'm introducing this time don't cost any money..."

Without waiting for the little ninjas to ask, Hideki raised his right hand and said:
"First of all, everyone may wish to take a look and see if you recognize the ninjutsu I am performing now..."

As everyone watched, Hideki's right hand began to be wrapped in a ball of blue chakra.

The ninjutsu had actually been completed, but judging from the confused looks in the little ninjas' eyes, it was difficult for them to tell what kind of ninjutsu it was.

So Hideki had to gently hook his left hand to float a piece of wood on the podium in front of him, and then gently wipe it with his right hand which was filled with chakra.

Without any warning, the lower half of the wood fell to the ground.

"Wow……"

The little ninjas all exclaimed in awe.

Although it is not as eye-catching as those world-destroying ninjutsu.

But the students here are all of good level and know that it is not easy to cut off a piece of wood hanging in the air so silently.

Not to mention that the teacher didn't even make a swinging motion, just a light touch...

This made it hard for them to imagine what terrible things would happen if this technique was used on humans.

However, this idea also reminded some children of a similar ninjutsu.

"Teacher, is it possible that you are performing the Chakra Scalpel?"

A student sitting in the front row raised his hand first and asked a question, which made Lin, who was also about to ask a question, a little depressed.

Hideki nodded and replied:

"Yes, this is indeed the chakra scalpel that medical ninjas would use."

"But my technique is just a facade."

Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Hideki began to explain:

"The chakra scalpel requires good chakra control to condense a small and sharp blade for cutting human body parts."

"At the same time, it also requires the user to have extensive knowledge of medicine and human anatomy in order to accurately locate the lesion and precisely grasp the degree of cutting."

"The combination of the two is the full picture of the A-level medical ninjutsu Chakra Scalpel."

"So my ninjutsu, which only has chakra control but no rich medical knowledge to support it, cannot be considered a true chakra scalpel."

Having said that, Hideki paused for a moment to give everyone time to digest the message.

Seeing that everyone began to understand, Hideki continued:
"I think many of you have already guessed what the tool I'm talking about is..."

"The Chakra Scalpel is used in medical operations. If you are not careful, it may harm the patient's life, so it requires strong chakra control and rich medical knowledge as support."

"But if it's used in handmade products, it's a different story."

"At least basic manual production does not require such high processing precision."

"And even if there is a mistake, it can be remedied. If it fails, the most we can do is scrap a piece of material and start over."

“And the benefits of using the Chakra Scalpel for manual work are obvious.”

"Because it is made from your own chakra, it will be very easy to use and will greatly shorten the time it takes to learn how to use the tool."

"You should all be able to experience what I mean in a moment."

"Of course, with such a chakra compression rate and control accuracy, this technique can no longer be called a chakra scalpel." "Because it is generally used in woodworking, I named it a chakra carving knife."

After Hideki finished speaking, the whole room fell into silence for a moment.

However, this time the little ninjas were not speechless out of shock like in the past, but they didn't know what to say for a moment.

Chakra carving knife...

Although it is a good idea to simplify the Chakra scalpel into a Chakra engraving knife for use in handicrafts.

If someone else had come up with this idea, they would have given it a thumbs-up.

But Mr. Kimura had previously demonstrated lifelike puppets like the black cat and red owl, ingenious teaching aids like the pocket puppet beast, and those novel and interesting new toys just now, which had already raised everyone's expectations too high.

So when people see this "ordinary" chakra carving knife, they can't help but feel a sense of disappointment: "That's it?"

Many young ninjas felt a little ashamed of this.

You have to know that we are not in class now, but visiting a workshop.

Being able to have a brand new ninjutsu as a reward is something that many people would envy.

Especially for kids like them who won't learn much ninjutsu after graduation, every additional ninjutsu they master is invaluable.

Not to mention that from what happened just now, this technique can be used not only in handicrafts, but also in combat.

Therefore, if they can really master this technique, it will definitely be beneficial to their future ninja career.

The more everyone thought about it, the more it made sense, and they began to look forward to the next lesson.

However, they still underestimated Hideki's determination to trick them into becoming his apprentices...

In his opinion, this chakra carving knife alone is not enough to make everyone work hard for the workshop.

So Hideki also prepared a whole set of baits, waiting for the children to take the bait...

"Teacher, please teach us how to use this technique quickly!"

Facing the children's enthusiastic requests for advice, Hideki raised his voice slightly and said:

"Everyone, please wait, because I haven't finished the introduction yet."

Not finished yet?

The little ninjas finally quieted down, but they were also a little confused.

Hideki smiled and explained:
"Don't forget, handmade products cannot be completed with just a carving knife."

"Since we want to transform the Chakra Scalpel into a handmade tool, we naturally have to gather all the tools together."

"So in addition to the carving knife, the Chakra Scalpel can actually be transformed into other tools."

"For example, a hammer..."

As he spoke, Hideki's right hand, which was gathering chakra, began to clench into a fist.

Through compression, the chakra wrapped around his right hand became like substance, and it looked extremely hard...

"Or a saw, for example..."

Hideki spread out his right hand again, and one could see the chakra on the edge of his palm forming small triangular saw teeth, and it began to move along the edge, getting faster and faster...

Well, it’s actually a chainsaw!

"Of course, drills are also necessary..."

As he spoke, Hideki raised his right index finger, and the chakra in his hand began to rotate around his index finger, eventually forming a spiral chakra drill at the fingertips.

Afterwards, Hideki demonstrated the transformations of basic hand tools such as axes, planes, chisels, shovels, etc.

He even used chakra lines to replace the functions of the ink fountain and ruler, realizing that even without any tools, chakra alone was enough to complete all the handmade creations...

However, up to this point Hideki still had no intention of retracting his magical powers.

"Now everyone has seen all the forms of chakra tools, but this is not the full picture of this jutsu."

"If everyone can combine them all one day, they can do something even more interesting..."

After saying that, Hideki stretched out his right hand and showed the piece of wood.

Then his right hand began to release a large amount of chakra, completely wrapping the wood.

Just like the Chakra Scalpel at the beginning, there was no obvious movement.

However, after a dozen seconds, the chakra dissipated and the piece of wood disappeared.

Instead, there was a thousand-armed Buddha statue sitting in Hideki's palm, with a kind face...

Then Hideki said softly:

"Chakra Workshop, this is the final form of this jutsu."
