The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 38 The last-place teaching method

"I really just defeated Asuma..."

Although Hideki said so, Obito still didn't feel much reality. He just lowered his head and stared at his hands, muttering to himself.

"But why don't I remember anything about this?"

"Just don't remember."

Hideki touched Obito's hedgehog head and found it a little prickly.

After withdrawing his hand with a hint of disgust, he continued to explain:

“Simply put, there are actually two types of learning methods.”

"One is memory by brain, the other is memory by body."

"And you, Obito, are a rare type in the Uchiha clan who is better at using the body to remember."

The body memory that Hideki refers to does not simply refer to the muscle memory formed through repetitive actions, or the unconscious memory in the human brain, but also includes a type of memory achieved through chakra.

It can be seen from chakra life forms such as the tailed beasts and the Ōtsutsuki clan that chakra is not just energy, but also a carrier of information, and it itself has an "operating system" that is sufficient to support thinking.

Therefore, after the humans in the Ninja World were brutally transformed by the Divine Tree, it was equivalent to having a new operating system installed outside of the human brain.

Even Hideki was very suspicious that the so-called soul in the ninja world was actually the external manifestation of this operating system.

Just as ordinary people cannot control their own souls, most people have very limited use of this operating system.

So-called ninjutsu, in fact, most of them are just the crudest use of chakra, just like using a mobile phone to crack walnuts or using a book to make a fire, which is a waste of talent.

If one wants to truly fully control this system, perhaps one must shed one's mortal form like the Otsutsuki clan and become a true chakra life form before one can use it with ease.

The few humans who can make good use of this system will be regarded as geniuses with chakra talent.

Obito, who was chosen as the successor by Uchiha Madara in the future and even eventually became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, naturally had an excellent talent for chakra.

Therefore, the reason why he is the last one in the class is not because of his talent, but because his brain is holding him back.

To put it nicely, Obito has talent but does not have enough intelligence to bring it into play.

To put it in plain words, Obito is an idiot.

Generally speaking, such buried geniuses need patient guidance from a master teacher with a keen eye for talent so that they can slowly discover their talents.

In the original work, Obito, Naruto and Jiraiya are actually typical examples.

It’s a pity that Hideki is not a famous teacher now, and he doesn’t have the patience to spend a lot of time on Obito.

So he adopted a very simple and crude teaching method.

That is to bypass Obito's unenlightened brain and use the human body saeko to engrave the correct answer directly into his muscle memory, unconscious memory and chakra memory.

With their combined effects, Obito is like turning on the unmanned driving mode. When he encounters a situation he has practiced, he will have a conditioned reflex and automatically complete the action.

In this way, even though Obito didn't have the Sharingan yet, he was able to completely copy the techniques demonstrated by Hideki in a short period of time.

"Using the body to remember..."

After hearing what Hideki said, Obito also began to think with his little head.

Although in a sense, it seemed as if the teacher was calling himself a fool.

But Obito found that he was just like what his teacher said. It was difficult for him to understand the courses that required thinking, but he was quite good at the courses that only relied on physical ability.

Of course, Obito's careless character still caused him to make mistakes frequently, which is why he was recognized as the last one in the group.

Obito was a little excited when he thought of this. It turned out that he was just like Charmander, not the real laggard, but he had not yet found the correct way to practice.

However, his excitement did not last long, because Obito soon ran into trouble again.

Because even though he knew that he was the type who relied on physical memory, he still couldn't find a solution!
No, wait...

Obito's brain suddenly brightened up for once, and he rubbed his hands and said to Hideki:

"Teacher Kimura, the method you just taught me to control the puppet beast, can it be used in learning other courses?"

“That’s an interesting question.”

Hideki stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "In theory, it is true. At least for physical training and throwing techniques that rely solely on the body, there will be no problem."

"As for ninjutsu and genjutsu, although they are a bit difficult, they are not completely impossible..."

Obito was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to ask his teacher to help him practice, but he got stuck before he could say anything.

After all, the teacher has no relationship with him. Even if there is a way, it doesn’t mean that he will spend so much time teaching him!

While he was hesitating, Asuma spoke first:

"Teacher, can you please use the method you just used to guide me in my cultivation in the future? Oh, by the way, why don't you be my tutor? There will definitely be great benefits!"

Nani, Asuma got there first! ?
Obito was frightened by Asuma's money ability and looked at his teacher nervously.

However, what the two did not know was that Hideki had already rejected this invitation once before.

And now, he still had to refuse a second time.

"Unfortunately, in addition to my work at school, I also have a workshop to run, so I don't have time to be a tutor for the time being."

Asuma pursed his lips, looking disappointed.

Obito, who was standing aside, first breathed a sigh of relief, but then became a little frustrated because his hopes became even slimmer.

However, at this moment, the teacher's voice sounded like heavenly sound:
"Oh, I almost forgot. I do have some things that I need some students to help me with."

"If you two are willing to help, I should be able to squeeze out some time to give you some pointers."

Although it was just a temporary instruction, Obito and Asuma didn't dare to expect too much. After looking at each other in surprise, they nodded vigorously and said:
"I go!"

……

The next morning, the door of Hideki's office was suddenly opened from the outside.

Inuzuka Jaw, who often came to visit, couldn't wait to shout as soon as he entered the door:
"I heard that Hideki is going to open up your pocket puppet beast to all students. Is that true?"

Coincidentally, Hideki was busy making a puppet beast.

After he finished carving the rune spell on a core component with the chakra carving knife, he took a sip of the strawberry milk on the table and said calmly:

"indeed so."

Inuzuka Jaw moved a chair and sat down, saying with a bit of a smile:

"Hideki, you really like to make big news. This news should be announced sooner or later. Why announce it at this critical juncture when the registration is almost over?"

Hideki understood what Inuzuka Jab meant.

The late announcement will naturally be made after the registration is over and the dust has settled, so that it will not affect the students' registration.

As for the early announcement, it has to start from ten days ago...
