The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 303 Arcade Trial
Of course, Minato understood what Hideki meant, and knew that this guy was still craving for his body, so he said with a bit of a smile:

"Hideki, you haven't given up yet."

"To be honest, if this script was average, I might have already agreed."

"But this story is so interesting that I don't think I can play the leading role. I'm afraid I'll ruin this future classic."

Minato hesitated again, probably because he was too curious about the story, and whispered:
"But if it's some other supporting role, then I'd be willing to give it a try."

"For example, I really like the role of Officer Kaoru Ichijo..."

You are quite visionary, you actually want to be the strongest second rider...

Hideki complained in his heart.

In fact, if Minato had said this before, he might have agreed.

What a pity...

Just as Hideki was about to speak, a familiar male voice sounded behind him:

"I'm so sorry, Minato Jonin, but I reserved this role a few days ago."

Hideki and Minato looked back and saw that the person coming was Uchiha Fugaku.

At this time, the crowds in Konoha Square were becoming more and more dense, and as the captain of the police force, Fugaku had to come and inspect it.

"It's Captain Fugaku. Long time no see."

Minato greeted Fugaku and then apologized.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know about this. I didn't expect that Captain Fugaku would also be interested in filming."

At this point, Minato couldn't help but look a little weird.

That's right, when he left Konoha last time, the impression he had of Fugaku was that he was a fussy and serious guy, and it was really hard to associate him with filming or anything like that.

He never imagined that as long as he could make the Uchiha clan great again, Fugaku would not care about his likes and dislikes.

Even if he had to debut as an idol, he would definitely do it.

As the instigator, Hideki laughed in his heart and began to help Fugaku explain:
"Minato, don't be fooled by the fact that Fugaku is a few years older than us. In fact, he is very open-minded."

"The recently popular show 'Three Thousand Miles to Find Relatives' is a show directed by Fugaku. It is very popular."

"In addition, the new movie 'The Four', which is set in the police department, is about to be released. You must come and show your support. It will definitely be worth your trip."

"And the role of Officer Kaoru Ichijo is very suitable for a member of the police department, so I asked Fugaku to help."

What Hideki didn't say was that he originally wanted Fugaku to help find a handsome guy from the Uchiha clan to be an actor.

But after reading the script, Fugaku was quite fond of the role and looked eager to try it.

Hideki had no choice but to invite him to participate...

But this can be considered a blessing in disguise.

Since even the usually conservative Fugaku was willing to act in this movie, Minato's resistance naturally subsided again and he became hesitant.

When the whole world is moving in the opposite direction, who can firmly believe that they are not going in the wrong direction?

However, Minato still hadn't made up his mind, and said with a conflicted look:

"Then let me think about it again."

"No hurry, no hurry."

Hideki smiled and waved his hand.

With the subsequent script as bait, he was not worried at all that Minato would fly out of his hand.

When Hideki thought about Naruto and Sasuke's father performing on the same stage, he couldn't help but feel a sense of evil pleasure, and he couldn't wait for this day to come.

At this time, Kushina had just finished the battle and easily took out Mizuki's Rattata with a burst of lightning bolts.

She skipped down the ring, shaking Minato's hand happily:
"Minato, was I awesome just now?"

"Awesome, really awesome."

Minato's answer was not very confident, because he was just struggling with whether to go into the adult filming business, and he didn't pay any attention to the situation on the ring.

Fortunately, Kushina didn't notice it either, as she was bragging about her recent display of prowess.

Minato didn't say much, just looked at Kushina with gentle eyes and listened to her bragging quietly.

After Kushina boasted and was satisfied, she found Hideki and Fugaku and greeted them. She also asked Fugaku about Uchiha Mikoto's pregnancy, and it seemed that they were good friends during the ninja school.

Later, Kushina saw that the toy store was already crowded and it was still early for her next game, so she suggested going for a walk to see what new good things Hideki had come up with.

Hideki originally didn't intend to disturb the young couple's date, but was persuaded to stay by Kushina's enthusiastic invitation.

But Kushina also has her own little plans.

Apparently, she saw the long line outside the toy store, so she set her sights on Hideki and planned to ask him to help her open the back door to enter the store.

Hideki had no objection to this.

Minato is currently busy practicing the Rasengan, so he probably doesn't have much time to spend with Kushina.

If he agrees to act in a movie later, he will definitely become busier.

Giving this young couple some convenience now can be considered as Hideki's small kindness and compensation.

Finally, Fugaku seemed to be quite interested in the bustle in the toy store, so he asked to see it for himself.

Of course, Hideki did not refuse, so the four of them started walking towards the back door of the toy store...

It is not difficult to guess why so many people gathered outside the toy store at this time. Of course, it was the arcade machine that Hideki had prepared before.

However, the reason why he became widely known all of a sudden was thanks to the Pocket Puppetmon competition.

On the ring, the little ninjas can control the puppet beasts to perform all kinds of magical and interesting movements and moves with just a small handle.

Audiences who don’t understand the difficulty will of course be itching to control the interesting pocket puppet beast by themselves when they see this.

So now there is only one question:
So... where can I buy it?

Naturally, everyone's first reaction was to go to Hideki's Bandai toy store to ask.

Because such a magical toy can probably only be bought in this place.

It’s a pity that the answers from the shop assistants did not satisfy them.

"I'm very sorry, but the apprentices at Kimura Workshop are not yet up to standard and cannot yet achieve mass production of Pocket Puppetmon, so they cannot be sold."

"But the new arcade machine we just launched also uses similar technology to Pocket Golem, and it will definitely satisfy you, the customer."

"It just so happens that our store is currently conducting an arcade machine testing event. As a customer, you can use these free game coins to play various arcade machines."

Although they couldn't play Pocket Golem, the villagers still turned their attention to the rows of game machines in the temporary arcade area under the smooth combos of the shop assistants...

Free things are the most expensive.

Since they didn't know the truth at that time, they would easily accept the five game coins given by the clerk and then go to the arcade area.

What awaits them there will be a wide variety of games, and there will always be a new and unique game console that will suit their taste.

When they become addicted to it and use up all their game coins, they will gradually see the ferocious fangs of this toy store...

Because then the clerk will kindly tell them:

Since the arcade is still in the testing phase, the toy store does not sell game coins to the public for the time being.

However, in order to give back to customers, in addition to the game coins given at the beginning, more game coins will be obtained as gifts when shopping for a certain amount...

Seeing the customers struggling and unable to resist rushing to shop, Hideki, who had just walked into the store from the back door, couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

Recently, Fire Boy King has finished two rounds of broadcasts, and the popularity of yo-yo has gradually faded.

So there is a lot of inventory piled up in toy stores right now, so it’s a good opportunity to clear out a batch now, killing two birds with one stone.

Kushina had also walked into the store and was excitedly pulling Minato towards the arcade section.

But before they got there, she and Minato couldn't help but look at the wall in front of them and gasped sharply.

On the wall, Mario, wearing red overalls, was stumbling forward under the control of a child.

However, unlike the arcade machines that Hideki had made before, this Mario puppet was the size of a basketball.

More importantly, the entire level was now fully presented on the long wall, and its scale was quite intimidating.

Because this also means that the wall in front of them is actually a specially made arcade machine...
