The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 292 Three Major Colleges
As the screen went black, deafening applause broke out on the playground.

The young ninjas were all so excited that they couldn't wait to graduate and become Konoha ninjas to guard their homeland.

Looking at the cult-like scene in front of him, Hideki, who was sitting on the stage, couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

I didn't expect that I would turn into a dragon before I became a hero.

There's nothing he can do about it. It was him who made him dream up a plan for the Third Hokage to use movies to spread the Will of Fire in order to obtain the telescope technique.

The movie was still a long way off, so the Sandaime asked him to make a short film to boost morale and promote the will of fire, and naturally he was embarrassed to refuse.

However, Hideki still couldn't bear to see the children being encouraged to graduate early and become ninjas as soon as possible.

That's why he used this kind of spoof shooting method, hoping that the little ninjas would realize the irony after calming down.

Unfortunately, looking at the children's fanatical expressions, I'm afraid few people can understand his deep meaning.

Fortunately, Hideki still has a backup plan...

Just as the Sandaime was looking at everyone's reactions with satisfaction and was about to continue his verbal persuasion, the screen that had turned black lit up again.

"—they killed his dog. Now he's going to kill..."

With the sad voice-over, Inuzuka Jaw appeared on the screen again, walking slowly forward in the heavy rain, holding Wangcai's body.

It was obviously just a simple action, but combined with the narration just now and the body he was holding, it made people feel an oppressive atmosphere that made it hard to breathe...

Just when everyone was getting excited and curious about how Inuzuka Jaw would take revenge, the screen suddenly went black, leaving behind a line of large characters:
[The Inuzuka clan's masterpiece, "John Wick: Chapter 11", is currently being filmed, so stay tuned. 】

Clang!

Many teachers and students were stunned instantly.

After all this time, it turns out this is just a movie commercial!
Looking at Inuzuka Jaw-sensei who was grinning like a fool, everyone's last bit of enthusiasm disappeared immediately...

The Sandaime could only remain speechless upon seeing this.

He had indeed heard from Hideki before that the Inuzuka clan would help shoot the various sceneries in the film, and their reward was to insert a few seconds of advertising at the end to promote their film.

But he never expected that this advertisement could be seamlessly connected with the previous content, instantly reducing everyone's enthusiasm that had just been accumulated with great difficulty.

But in his opinion, Hideki couldn't have done it on purpose, and it was probably a mistake caused by time constraints.

I asked Hideki for help on a whim, so I really have no right to blame him.

However, the Sandaime became somewhat bored as a result, and ended his speech hastily.

Hideki laughed secretly in his heart, but on the surface he could only smile apologetically to the Sandaime who was stepping down from the stage, and then walked up to the stage as planned.

"Hello everyone, I'm Mr. Kimura Hideki who teaches puppetry."

Hideki greeted the curious children in the audience.
"I am only here to inform you of the changes to the point system this semester."

The little ninjas were immediately cheered up.

They still remember vividly the lucrative and exciting points competition last semester, so of course they are particularly concerned about it.

Hideki said:

“After the trial last semester, I think everyone can see the effectiveness of the points system.”

"Even if we only look at the data on paper, the test scores of all grades last semester have increased by at least 30% compared to the past."

"So don't worry, everyone. The point system will continue to be implemented this semester. And thanks to the additional sponsorship from the major ninja clans and businesses, the prizes this semester will become even more generous."

"I won't go into details about the specifics. You can check the bulletin board later." Many little ninjas cheered, and were happy to see this happen.

After the cheers died down, Hideki continued:
“In addition, in order to continue to improve the effectiveness of the points system, we will go a step further this semester and add new rules to it.”

"The most important thing is that we will divide everyone into three branches according to their personalities, specialties and wishes..."

"But don't worry, this branch is only nominal for now and will not change your original class."

“It is called this because the school will provide additional courses tailored to the characteristics of different colleges, similar to our training courses.”

"If the effect is significant, we may continue to improve in this direction next school year and become three real branches."

Hideki smiled and said,

"But I think what everyone is most concerned about is their relationship with the points system."

Seeing the children nodding repeatedly, Hideki said:
"It's actually very simple. From now on, whenever you gain points, your academy will also gain corresponding points."

"When the semester is over, the college with the highest points will receive extremely generous rewards."

"That means all students in the academy will have their individual points doubled this semester..."

"Wow!"

All the students' eyes lit up instantly, and they immediately realized what this meant...

As long as you get first place in the college, those rewards that originally seemed out of reach may actually be redeemable.

Seeing that the children were getting ready and were extremely excited, Hideki couldn't help but nod secretly.

Sure enough, compared to tricking people into burning their own will of fire, this model of rewarding what you give is more in line with my aesthetic taste.

He then declared:
"Myobokusan Branch, Shikotani Forest Branch, and Ryuchido Branch. These are the names of the three major branches of the Ninja School from now on."

Yes, the Sandaime finally backed down and did not dare to name the academy after the Senju brothers and himself.

That’s right. I guess ordinary teachers wouldn’t dare to say things like “deduct two points from Sarutobi Hiruzen”. It always sounds weird.

Moreover, the Sandaime actually had his own agenda when he chose the Three Holy Places as the name of the academy.

After all, the three holy places are not bound to Konoha.

If they defected to other villages, Konoha's situation would definitely become worse.

Therefore, using their names for the college can increase the connection between the two.

It is said that the Sandaime sought the consent of the Sage of the Holy Land through Jiraiya and others before daring to use the name here to ensure that there would be no mistakes.

In the end, although Hideki didn't guarantee anything, the name of the Three Holy Places was enough to make everyone imagine.

They all speculated, could it be that the three holy places would select new contractors from various academies?
Of course, this was also within the expectations of the Sandaime and Hideki, and it was just the right thing to encourage everyone to practice hard.

The most interesting thing is that Mitarashi Anko, who will be entering school next year, actually signed a contract with Ryuchido in the future.

It is estimated that by then everyone will believe this conjecture to be true and work harder to practice.

Then, by then, perhaps someone among them will really be appreciated by the immortals in the holy land and they can sign a contract with each other.

If things continue like this, perhaps one day the names of the three major colleges will really live up to their names...
