The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 34 Do you also want to dance?

What is the real use of Charmander?

Hideki's remarks immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.

Most of the kids here are good at fighting pocket puppet beasts, so they all feel that they have figured out how to play with them.

Some students even started complaining, asking why the teacher hadn't released any new puppet beasts yet, as they were getting tired of playing with them.

As a result, after hearing what the teacher said, they actually didn’t even understand how to use Charmander, let alone figure out how to play the game.

If you can't even drive it, what's the point of talking about performance?
If someone else said this, everyone would definitely sneer.

But the one who spoke happened to be the inventor of Pocket Puppetmon, the only puppeteer in Konoha, so they naturally had no confidence to refute. They could only sit on the bench and see how Charmander should be played.

Among the young ninjas, the one who was most excited about Hideki's words was none other than Obito, who had just suffered a crushing defeat.

He was originally dejected, but after hearing the teacher's speech that sounded like the sound of nature, he suddenly became full of energy as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Because Charmander is not just a training tool for him, but has a special meaning...

As the least Uchiha-like Uchiha, Obito was ostracized by children of his own clan and laughed at by other children in the village since he was a child.

Even the reason why he wears goggles every day to protect his eyes is because he hopes to awaken the Sharingan one day.

Then he can use the Uchiha clan's ancestral bloodline limit to prove that he indeed has Uchiha clan blood in his body.

But recently, an ability that is also the signature of the Uchiha clan has caused him a lot of trouble...

Fire Release, various fire release ninjutsu based on the Great Fireball Technique, has always been the Uchiha clan's signature ninjutsu that is famous in the ninja world.

Recently, Obito has been encountering setbacks in his clan's fire jutsu training and has been making slow progress.

He was often criticized and ridiculed by his tribesmen for this, so he naturally felt sympathy for Charmander, who also couldn't breathe fire.

So even though everyone often makes fun of him with Charmander, Obito still stubbornly chooses to control Charmander to fight.

He seemed to have regarded it as his stand-in, as if if he could help Charmander to show his prowess on the battlefield, then he would be recognized by everyone one day...

However, the recent repeated failures have made him somewhat discouraged. He feels that perhaps Charmander is just like himself, always the odd one out among his companions, destined to be unteachable...

So when the teacher put his arm around his shoulders and he heard that Charmander still had potential to be tapped, it was like a ray of morning light breaking through the dark clouds in Obito's heart, rekindling the little hope in his heart.

"Teacher, please use my Charmander to demonstrate!"

Without waiting for the teacher to speak, Obito had already presented Charmander's puppet ball with both hands, and looked up at the teacher with bright eyes.

How did this little fire dragon become yours?
Hideki really wanted to tease like this, but when he saw the kid's eyes shining, he swallowed his words.

However, he did not take the puppet ball that held Obito's hopes. Instead, his eyes suddenly turned and he smiled:
"In order to be more convincing, I need a helper to control this little fire dragon with me. Obito, do you still have enough chakra?"

Although he didn't understand why the teacher needed help, Obito nodded frantically and said:

"Yes, of course, I can still play all day long!"

Where are you from, Wild America?

Hideki resisted the urge to complain and began to explain to Obito and the other confused ninjas around him:
"I am controlling the variables to eliminate the impact caused by the huge difference in chakra amount and control between me and everyone else."

"So the chakra that drives the puppet beast will still be output by Obito, and I will only be responsible for controlling it with the handle."

"This way, everyone can see how much the difference in operation will change Charmander's battles."

It's just a demonstration, is it necessary to be so rigorous?
Are all you puppeteers like this?

The little ninjas were speechless when they heard this, but what made them even more curious was how the teacher was going to accomplish this operation.

Because whether it is outputting chakra or controlling puppet beasts, it all depends on the handle.

How can they share one handle?

Hideki seemed to know what they were thinking and suddenly revealed a smile with a hint of evil humor.

Then the next moment, Obito suddenly put down the puppet ball and began to dance vigorously...

The little ninjas watching had a lot of question marks on their heads.

What is this crane tail Obito doing now?

I heard that the Uchiha clan has always loved dancing. Could it be that Obito was too happy and used dancing to vent his ecstasy?

However, judging from Obito's expression which seemed even more shocked than theirs, that shouldn't be the case.

"Teacher, teacher, I can't control myself!?"

Obito finally reacted and asked his teacher for help. However, at this moment, several visible chakra lines gradually appeared on Obito's limbs, and their other ends were naturally connected to Hideki's right hand...

"Sorry, sorry, in order to show you more clearly how I will operate the controller, I will use your body to demonstrate it."

Hideki laughed it off, brushing off his own prank, and began to explain further:

"Practice·Human Body Severance Skill."

"As you can see, this is a ninjutsu that uses chakra lines to manipulate other people's bodies as puppets."

"Originally, this technique was developed by the Sunagakure puppeteers so that they could control their companions' corpses and continue fighting even after their puppets were destroyed."

"But if the person being manipulated is willing to cooperate, or if they are unable to resist due to the disparity in strength, then this technique can also be used on living people."

The little ninjas suddenly realized that puppetry could be used to control living people.

However, they were so naive that they did not realize that the puppeteer was reduced to having to control the corpses of his companions to continue fighting. How much blood and gore was hidden behind the invention of this technique?
Even the most taboo human puppet technology, could it be that the inspiration came from this ninjutsu?
At this moment, Obito's breathless voice suddenly sounded:

"Teacher, this technique is indeed very interesting, but——

Can you please let me stop first? "

It turns out that while Hideki was explaining, Obito was actually dancing beside him...

"Sorry, sorry, I forgot again..."

Hideki finally stopped the Bully Maguire dance that Obito was doing, and reminded himself mentally:

Stay calm, Hideki. Don't reveal your true nature before the registration ends...

In order to change the subject, he then looked at Asuma across from him.

"By the way, for the convenience of demonstration, I need an opponent. I wonder if you are willing to help, Asuma?"

"Come on, even though it's just a demonstration, I won't be defeated that easily!"

Asma naturally agreed to this opportunity to show off.

You know, when the students in the class heard that the teacher was going to give a demonstration, they actually started to watch curiously.

Seeing that Kurenai Yuhi, who looked even cuter today, was also among the crowd, Asuma naturally would not show any fear.

And he wasn't just saying it casually when he claimed that he wouldn't be defeated easily.

Since the upper limit of the operation of the handle is not high, even if the teacher is a real puppeteer, he cannot surpass him by much in operation.

Not to mention that the teacher is not even controlling it directly, but indirectly controlling the puppetmon by controlling Obito, so the strength will naturally be greatly reduced.

In addition, the chakra to maintain the puppet beast is still provided by Obito, the last one...

With so many handicaps, Asuma believes that he has a chance of winning even if his opponent is Sensei Kimura!

Recently, Hong has been talking about Teacher Kimura all the time. This time, I will let her see how powerful I, Master Asuma, am!
Although he was a little confused by Asuma's silly smile, seeing that he agreed to be his opponent, Hideki also began to announce:

"Well, let's start the demonstration..."

……

"Go, Squirtle!"

"Come on, Charmander!"

With Asuma and Obito throwing their puppet balls forward at the same time, this much-anticipated exhibition match finally began.

I saw the two puppet beasts successfully transform in the air at the same time, and then landed steadily on the ground.

As soon as it landed, Squirtle opened its mouth and sprayed out a stream of water, launching a fierce attack on Charmander.

And under Asuma's control, the next water gun attack was ready to be used to capture the stiffness after Charmander dodged.

This is actually similar to the basic tactics when fighting with throwing ninja tools.

That is, using continuous long-range attacks to compress the enemy's escape space and force the enemy to make mistakes, and finally completely overwhelm the opponent.

Although everyone uses similar tactics when using Squirtle, a turret-type puppet beast.

But only Asuma can rely on his innate combat instincts to always accurately capture his opponent's fleeting flaws and secure victory more quickly.

Because everyone respectfully calls him the No. 1 Squirtle in the village.
