The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 293 Puppetry Class in the New Semester

The exciting trailer, the anticipated new movie, the improvement of the points system, the division of the three major colleges...

On the first day of school, a series of information bombarded the little ninjas like depth charges, making them dizzy.

Whether during breaks or in class, everyone couldn't help whispering to each other and discussing topics that interested them, which gave the teachers a headache.

However, Hideki, the instigator, knew nothing about it.

He was sitting in his office, reading a book while casually making various small ninja tools with chakra threads.

He did this not to show off, but just to exercise his multi-threading ability when using the telepathic technique.

Time passed slowly and before we knew it, it was afternoon.

As soon as the bell rang, Hideki walked into the puppetry classroom converted from a warehouse on time.

"Teacher Hideki, long time no see."

"Congratulations on becoming a jonin."

Many students greeted Hideki, especially those who were not participating in the training camp.

Hideki smiled and returned the greetings one by one, then walked onto the stage, looked around at everyone and said:
“I’m glad to continue to see you all here, exploring the mysteries of puppetry together.”

"Everyone has already laid the foundation for a semester, so this semester we will officially begin to study puppetry in depth."

"But before that, we still have to consolidate the last point of knowledge we learned last semester - the creation of chakra lines with different characteristics."

"So in the next period of time, I will first test your current level so that I can formulate the next step of training for each of you."

Then Hideki said in a joking tone,

"——After a two-month long vacation, everyone should not have returned all these things to me, the teacher?"

"Of course not!"

Most of the young ninjas looked very ambitious and couldn't wait to show their training results to Hideki.

In fact, when Hideki taught everyone the meridian spinning method last semester, it was already near the end of the semester, and most students had not been able to master it.

Only a few people like Lin and Xuanjian were willing to endure the pain and mastered one or two meridian lines through the quick method.

As a result, they achieved quite good results in the subsequent martial arts competitions.

When the other children saw this, they were of course very sorry that they did not follow their example.

Therefore, during this holiday, they all worked hard to intensify their training, and were quite confident that they could satisfy Teacher Hideki.

Of course, this excludes Obito, whose smile has frozen at this moment.

Although this kid had mastered the use of the thumb-less business line through the crash course method before.

But he had been so busy with training in the past two months that he hadn't thought about reviewing at all, and he had already forgotten most of it...

Seeing that Obito was already frantically looking for Lin for help, Hideki shook his head and smiled, then began to examine everyone's two months of training results.

The final result was pretty much what he expected.

Except for a certain Obito who did not want to reveal his name, everyone had mastered at least two routes for manufacturing special chakra lines.

The talented ninja children have even mastered three or even four of them.

As Hideki's favorite student, Nohara Lin has already mastered the production routes of all six types of chakra lines.

Of course, whether you can integrate them and switch them at any time during battle is another matter.

While checking everyone's progress, Hideki also used acupressure to help everyone learn new routes, just like before.

By the time all the students had finished their presentations, more than half of the class had passed.

Fortunately, this was also within Hideki's expectations.

There is no need to cram too much new knowledge into the first class, just proceed step by step.

However, in order to prevent everyone from being careless like Obito, Hideki gave everyone the shot of encouragement he had prepared in advance. "Before you forget, I have to make an announcement."

He suddenly smiled and said,

"Do you remember the Pocket Puppetmon competition that was put on hold because of the martial arts tournament?"

"I am pleased to tell you that the competition will be held this weekend."

“This competition is mainly to test everyone’s comprehensive achievements in the last semester.”

"The creation and maintenance of chakra lines and the creation of puppet beast parts are the key points."

“So the controller will be in current-limited mode during the game.”

"Everyone can only output the same amount of chakra. You can't rely on the amount of chakra to win."

Hideki paused for a moment to let everyone digest the message, and then reminded,

"Although everyone has not yet learned the puppet control technology, they can only use the handle to control the pocket puppet beast."

"But don't forget that chakra lines with different characteristics can also be used to control puppet beasts."

"So whether you can master more types of chakra lines and whether you can integrate them and apply them to the battle against Pocket Puppetmon is the key to the victory of this competition..."

Many smart students already know what Teacher Hideki is up to...

They did not forget that the pocket puppet beast competition has quite generous prizes.

With this carrot hanging in front of them, even if they don't want to, they can only practice chakra line technology obediently...

However, everyone still overestimated Hideki's moral integrity.

"By the way, I almost forgot to say that."

Hideki smiled and added the final blow:

"I have already applied to Lord Hokage. This puppet beast competition will be held in Konoha Square."

"The big screen will also broadcast the event live, so that most people in Konoha can see it."

"So this is also equivalent to the first appearance of our Konoha-style puppetry in front of the villagers."

"Whether we can change the negative impression of puppetry in everyone's mind depends on everyone's efforts."

"hiss……"

The little ninjas were shocked again when they heard this.

Is it necessary for Mr. Hideki to make things so big?
They actually asked these novices to fight with pocket puppets in public, and also let them bear such a heavy responsibility?

In order to avoid making a fool of themselves in front of everyone, they now had no choice but to practice to death.

Alas, the semester has just begun, isn’t the teacher too harsh?
It seems that this semester will be like the last semester, spent in pain and happiness...

Hideki looked at the aggrieved looks of the little ninjas and laughed secretly in his heart.

However, he was not doing this to torment the children, but to promote Pocket Golem.

Because making the popular Pocket Puppetmon into Bandai Toy Store's flagship product has always been Hideki's goal.

If this could really be achieved, then he wouldn't have to worry about having no business even if he was as lazy as the Pokémon production company in his previous life.

Although the workshop apprentices do not yet have the ability to create pocket puppet beasts.

But next, "Kamen Rider Kuuga" will start filming, and apprentices will also start making related peripheral toys.

After this experience, their level should be barely up to the standard, and they should be able to make most of the parts of the pocket puppet beast and draw some rune pieces.

By then, the production capacity of Pocket Puppetmon will be increased, and the day when Bandai Toy Store sweeps the ninja world with toys is probably not far away...
