The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 301 Angry Slug
The remaining boys wanted to cheer, but as soon as they opened their mouths they felt the girls' sharp gazes and could only shut their mouths in embarrassment.

Yuhi Kurenai waved her fist angrily and protested to Hideki:
"The little slugs are so cute, how can you treat them like this, teacher!?"

The little girls all nodded repeatedly, strongly accusing Hideki with their eyes.

Hideki scratched his head helplessly.

I deliberately made the slug cute, but I didn't expect that I would end up shooting myself in the foot.

Fortunately, he also has a way to make up for it, and he starts to start the deception mode:
“Actually, the game is called Angry Slug.”

"According to the story, these little slugs were originally residents of this town, but one day they were invaded by foreign enemies called pig-headed people and were cruelly driven out."

"And the way to play this game is to help the little slug attack the pig-headed man's residence and take back his home..."

"Actually, there should be enemies in these buildings, but this game is still a work in progress, so there are no enemies there."

The little ninjas couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this.

I didn't expect this game to have such a tragic background story.

But as reserve ninjas, they quickly accepted this setting.

After all, sacrificing one's life to defend one's homeland is the concept that the ninja school has always instilled in them, and it is completely natural for them.

So although the little girls still felt sympathy for the cute little slugs, they did not express any objection, as otherwise they would be trampling on their consciousness.

Hideki finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Angry slug.

As soon as you hear the name of this game, you will know that it is derived from the once popular mobile game masterpiece "Angry Birds".

The reason why the bird was changed into a slug is, of course, to pay tribute to the Wet Bone Forest and continue to take advantage of the popularity of the top IP of the Three Holy Lands.

In fact, even in Super Mario, Hideki also inserted Yoshi, the little dinosaur that was originally added in subsequent works, and changed it into the appearance of a toad to pay tribute to Mount Myoboku.

Together with the snake used to pay tribute to the Longdi Cave, we finally visited all three holy places.

And this time Hideki just happened to have some technology he wanted to experiment with, so he made drastic changes to the game.

For example, the miniature house model made of sand on the table is a derivative use of the rune version of the Earth Flow Wall, just like the music box system in Super Mario.

Since Kakashi could carve a dog's head on a mud wall in an instant, it would be no problem for Hideki to create a lifelike miniature house using rune spells drawn in advance.

And this time the sand and soil that make up the miniature house are real, so the consumption of earth escape chakra can be greatly reduced.

As for the little slug that girls can’t let go of, it is actually Hideki’s masterpiece, named Chakra Woolen Doll.

Because they are actually woven with chakra threads, just like a woolen doll.

For this, I have to thank Minato.

Although Hideki has developed a series of chakra tool ninjutsu that can stably shape and release chakra, it is still difficult for it to exist apart from the main body.

It just so happened that when Minato was developing the Rasengan, he was led astray by him and created a mysterious product called the Chakra Yarn Ball.

Although this is a dead end in the research and development of the Rasengan, its relatively stable characteristics have inspired Hideki to a certain extent.

That is to go a step further and weave the chakra threads into a multi-layered dense structure, slowing down the dissipation of chakra through mutual constraints between them.

At the same time, the core of the doll can also pre-compress a ball of chakra, and compensate for the loss of chakra by slowly releasing it, thus maintaining it for a longer time.

Therefore, Hideki also called this technique - Chakra weaving.

Although it is still a prototype with many problems and has not yet reached the level of being able to be used in actual combat, Hideki feels that this technology has great prospects, so he has spent a lot of time on it.

And that little slug was his practice piece.

Of course, he couldn't rub them out one by one by hand, so he specially designed a simple chakra plush doll making machine.

Although the quality of the little slug doll made in this way is very average and will disappear in a moment, it is sufficient as a prop for this game.

At the same time, Hideki has now developed a technique to use rune spells to slightly change the characteristics of chakra lines.

Hard, elastic, smooth...

In addition to size, shape, weight and even color, players can customize the slugs they need according to their preferences and the difficulty of the level.

Little girls like Hong were of course delighted by this and became obsessed with the competition to see who could make the cutest little slug.

Hideki had to pull out another Chakra Plush Doll Making Machine for them to play with, so that the other students had a chance to truly experience the wonders of this game.

Don’t be fooled by how easy Hideki’s operation just now was.

In fact, it is definitely not that easy to achieve the same level of success as he did, and to cause such large-scale damage with the most ordinary slugs.

How to choose the type of slug and how to lock the target by adjusting the force and angle of the slingshot are both very important.

Even the layout of the house and the structure of the buildings will change depending on the level.

Therefore, players must be flexible and adapt to local conditions in order to make each slug missile play the best effect.

However, once successful, the scene of a large number of exquisite house models collapsing in an instant can give people an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

This is probably similar to the pleasure you get from knocking down the dominoes that have been standing there for most of the day.

So the last group of children quickly became addicted to it and had a lot of fun.

Even a face-pinching fan like Hong couldn't help but give it a try, and eventually became a loyal fan of this game.

At this point, Hideki's arcade introduction work was finally completed successfully.

It is not difficult to see that puppet making technology, programming flow sealing technique, chakra weaving technique, rune ninjutsu...

By making this series of arcade machines, Hideki has organized and digested everything he has learned in the past and recently as much as possible, and gradually integrated it into one.

Next, it is time to use this upgraded technology in more important areas, which will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort...

After that, Hideki began to patrol back and forth, listening to the children's opinions from time to time and solving the bugs they encountered.

Looking at the children shouting and playing various games, and even making suggestions before it was their turn, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly, showing a hint of nostalgia.

Although he could not experience this kind of happiness again, he also gained a new kind of happiness by sharing it with his children...

At the same time, Hideki finally felt relieved.

If even these kids, whose eyes have been spoiled by me, are so obsessed with it, then it will probably not be a problem for this arcade to capture the hearts of the Konoha villagers.

In the previous training camp, he had already had the children make a lot of arcade machine parts during their evening puppetry classes, but they didn't know it.

Therefore, as long as these prototype machines are debugged, Xiushu can follow the prescription at any time and quickly assemble a batch of arcade machines, which will be enough for the first wave of promotion.

The Pocket Puppet Beast competition that will be held soon is naturally the best time for promotion.

With this in mind, Hideki couldn't help but look forward to the weekend even more...
