The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 33 The Disliked Charmander

Many young ninjas were confused by the teacher's actions.

Although the teacher has tried to make the teaching content novel and interesting, many students are still not very interested in puppetry, or have poor talent for it, and only come to class for the pocket puppet beast.

Therefore, once the classrooms and pocket puppets are opened to all students, many students may choose not to come to class.

Mr. Kimura's action is tantamount to driving people away!

In fact, the kids actually guessed correctly, Hideki was indeed chasing people away.

Because after the successive bombardment of pocket puppet beasts and new toys, the number of students attending puppetry classes has approached the two hundred mark.

So much so that the originally spacious warehouse now seems a bit crowded.

At first, Hideki did try his best to get as many students as possible to attend class.

But he didn't intend to accept all of them, he just wanted to have more options.

Especially now that there are still many freeloaders among the students who are of no help to his plan, Hideki naturally has to eliminate the dross and retain the essence.

The purpose of opening the puppetry classroom and allowing students who have not signed up for this course to play with pocket puppeteers is precisely for this purpose.

The reason why those freeloaders were not directly dissuaded is because most of them were children of the ninja clan, and in the near future they would likely transform themselves into high-quality customers of the workshop.

In order to avoid the deterioration of relations and to cultivate the habit of playing with puppetmon, Hideki was willing to spend money to open a puppetry classroom.

As the saying goes, if you are reluctant to let go of your children, you cannot trap the wolf.

Sooner or later, Hideki will get back tenfold or a hundredfold the money he spent on these bastards...

After the announcement, the class entered the stage of training chakra control through pocket puppets.

The little ninjas temporarily suppressed their surprise at the opening of the puppetry classroom and took the time to experience the joy brought by the pocket puppet beasts.

After a few classes, the children are now able to weave usable handle lines on their own without Hideki's help.

Also, as the operating level improves, people have gradually developed different ways to play Pocket Puppet Beast.

For example, in a corner of the warehouse, the students built a small obstacle race track under Hideki's suggestion.

Everyone will take turns controlling the puppet beast to take on the challenge, competing to see who can overcome obstacles, solve puzzles, and finally reach the finish line in the shortest time.

Due to the limitation of the handle line, everyone had to run behind the puppet beast, which made Hideki feel like he was watching Beyblade...

Recently, little girls who have become addicted to playing house have brought their talents to the field of pocket puppet beasts.

Even Hideki could only watch as they decorated the podium where he gave lectures into a stage.

The three royal families, wearing their homemade floral dresses and heavy makeup, performed a series of extremely bloody dramas under their control.

"Oh, Charmander, Charmander, why are you Charmander..."

Princess Squirtle, wearing a long dress, chanted under the voiceover of Red.

Seeing this, Xiu Shu could only cover his face and leave. If he didn't leave, he would have to complain...

He came to the battle area that occupied most of the warehouse's open space.

Looking at the children excitedly controlling the pocket puppets to fight, Hideki couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

Right, this is the most correct way to play Pocket Puppetmon, what the hell is acting...

There is no doubt that fighting with pocket puppets is the mainstream gameplay that little ninjas are most fond of.

Since this pocket puppet beast is easy to operate, many talented children have mastered the tricks and started to play with it properly.

Of course, there are also students who are not very good at playing...

"Haha, Obito, stop struggling like a loser."

"Your Charmander will never defeat my Squirtle!"

Just then, a commotion in the battle zone caught Hideki's attention.

What's so proud about defeating Charmander with Squirtle?
This was Hideki's first reaction when he heard this.

However, he soon remembered that the pocket puppet beast he made did not seem to have any attribute restraint settings...

Driven by curiosity, Hideki went over to check the situation. Then he saw a Charmander being suppressed by a Squirtle's water gun and could only run around in panic.

Also, due to the limited length of the handle cable, Uchiha Obito, as the controller, can only run behind Charmander.

The funny scene made the surrounding little ninjas laugh.

Seeing this, Hideki raised his forehead helplessly.

Obito, ah Obito...

What you are playing with now is a pocket puppet beast, not a four-wheel drive car, so why are you running after it?

It seems that we will have to add a range regulation for the battlefield in the future.

Then Hideki looked at the student who was controlling Squirtle.

Coincidentally, it was Asuma Sarutobi.

Although this kid doesn't study very hard, he is very active in playing with puppet beasts.

The talent he inherited from the Sandaime Hokage made him unrivaled at this game.

In comparison, Obito, who also came from a great ninja clan, seems particularly pale in comparison.

However, Hideki did not have a very good impression of Asuma at this time.

Because he was proficient in puppetry, he could tell at a glance that the child was not fighting with his full strength.

Although he told Obito not to struggle, he deliberately let him go and played with him to his heart's content.

It was obvious that the child was using this method to vent the resentment that he had suppressed.

If it was a real-life fight, this kid would probably have some sense of propriety.

But because this was just a battle between puppet beasts, he let himself go.

However, Asma soon got tired of this cat-and-mouse game and began to put an end to it.

He just watched for an opportunity and operated the handle quickly with his fingers.

The Squirtle he controlled suddenly spit out a stream of water under his control, and as if it had predicted it, it shot it in the direction of Charmander and then knocked it away.

Although Obito was anxiously pressing buttons and injecting chakra, he was still unable to stop the fallen Charmander from turning back into a puppet ball.

game over.

The little ninjas who were watching also began to talk about it.

"I knew this would be the result. How could Obito possibly defeat Asuma?"

"Yeah, this kid is a wimp to begin with, and he always likes to use the weakest Charmander. It's a wonder he can win."

"You know what, Charmander, who can't breathe fire, and Obito, who doesn't look like an Uchiha, are actually quite a good match..."

"Haha, I just hope that after the groups are formed next week, I won't be assigned to Charmander~"

Hideki heard their discussion and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Charmander, Charmander, I didn't expect that you, who have always been the leader, would one day be disliked by everyone.

Is it really that important whether or not one can breathe fire?
In fact, in order to make up for this shortcoming, Hideki has improved Charmander's speed and flexibility. In theory, its strength is comparable to the other two of the Starter Pokémon.

However, to fully exert its power, higher skills are still required.

Now everyone is just getting started and is very inexperienced, so naturally they fail to discover the potential of Charmander, which leads to the damage of its reputation.

Hideki originally wanted everyone to discover this secret on their own as a little surprise.

However, when Hideki saw Obito's disappointed expression holding the puppet ball, he suddenly had an idea and decided to teach everyone this lesson in advance.

So he walked to Obito, patted his shoulder, and said to the students around him in a clear voice:
"I found that people may have some misunderstandings about the use of Charmander, so I will demonstrate it next."

"Everyone, watch carefully. I will only demonstrate it once..."
