The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 4 Black Cat
The next afternoon.

In order to give students time to learn family secrets or practice on their own, Ninja schools usually let students go around three in the afternoon.

The training courses are similar to the club activities or interest classes that Hideki had in his previous life, and are also held after school.

It just so happens that school has just finished and there is still some time before the training class starts.

Some students who were not interested in the training courses had either packed their bags and were ready to go home, or were calling their friends to find a place to practice or play together.

But more students gathered in groups of three or five, discussing which training course to take later.

"I'm going to go to the Ninja Tool Specialization Class. I heard that Mr. Fuma is very good at teaching students."

"You guys are fine. I'm from the Nara clan, so I can only go to tactics class. It's so troublesome."

"Then I'm going to the flower arrangement class later. I heard that this class is only for girls... hehe."

"Nonsense, don't you know this course is for girls only?"

"What? Then why did I spend an entire holiday cramming my knowledge of flower arrangement?"

The crowd suddenly burst into laughter, and the air around was filled with joy.

Tracking class, tactics class, medical class, code class...

Everyone was repeatedly discussing and comparing the advantages and disadvantages of various training courses, trying to find the course that best suits them.

Because as long as they perform well in the training courses, they may be assigned to work in the corresponding departments first after graduation.

Compared to the precarious life of an ordinary ninja, working in a department that is safe and has a stable income is of course more attractive.

It seems that even the ninja world cannot escape the law that the end of the universe is established.

However, it is worth noting that among the many training courses mentioned by everyone, the newly opened puppetry course has almost no interest.

It's as if no one knows it exists.

Sure enough, the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference.

The bad reputation that puppetry has accumulated in Konoha over time has made everyone subconsciously ignore its existence, and they don't even know where to take classes.

Even if students are interested in puppetry, it would be difficult to make up their minds to go to the puppetry classroom to take a look under such circumstances.

At this moment, a burst of surprised screams came from the door of Class 4-A.

The students who were discussing something nearby were immediately drawn to the incident and came closer to see what was happening.

As a result, everyone couldn't take their eyes off it after seeing it.

It turned out that a little black cat came from somewhere at the classroom door and was surrounded by several girls.

I saw it squatting on the ground obediently, raising its little paws from time to time to push away the dirty hands reaching out to it.

It was still meowing in its mouth, and its voice was so babyish that it was so adorable that it killed everyone.

"Wow, what a cute little kitty!"

Nohara Lin, who had just come out of the classroom, was captivated by the cuteness of the little black cat at first glance.

But soon her expression became a little worried again, and she murmured softly:

"This child is so fearless, he must have an owner. I wonder if he got lost..."

But her thoughts were soon interrupted by Uchiha Obito who also came to join in the fun.

"Lin, it turns out you like cats."

Obito said in a flattering manner,

"To be honest, there are many cats in our Uchiha clan, and they can all do backflips. How about you come to my house one day and take a look?"

Nohara Rin smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, thank you Obito."

When Obito heard this, his bones went soft and he looked as if he was floating in ecstasy.

Asuma, who was standing by with his hands in his trouser pockets and surrounded by a group of younger brothers, followed suit and approached Kurenai and said coolly, "Kurena, my monkey can also do backflips. Do you want to come to my house and see?"

"A monkey can do a backflip...what's so strange about that?"

Hong looked at Asuma as if he was a fool.

Unlike Nohara Rin, who is friendly to everyone, Yuhi Kurenai, who is still in the stage of being obsessed with looks, is usually only gentle to handsome guys.

Although Asma is rich, powerful and has a high status, he is not handsome!
But Asuma seemed to fall for it.

As the son of the Hokage, he was accustomed to everyone's flattery.

Therefore, Xi Ri Hong, who always treated him badly, made him feel that she was real and unpretentious, and was an interesting woman.

——Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to be as beautiful as Hong...

At this moment, the girls exclaimed in unison again.

It turned out that they were not paying attention and the originally well-behaved little black cat suddenly ran out of their encirclement.

Everyone who thought the little black cat would run away immediately was already sighing with regret.

But to their surprise, the little black cat stopped after running to the stairs not far away, and looked at them with its big eyes blinking.

Everyone was naturally delighted, but this time they didn't dare to be careless and tiptoed towards the little black cat.

But as soon as I got close, the little black cat jumped and ran downstairs again.

"Hey, wait!"

The girls were now anxious and hurriedly followed the cat downstairs, only to find that the little black cat was squatting at the stairs downstairs waiting for them, calling out from time to time.

"Is this little cutie playing with us?"

"I think it's more like asking us to follow."

After a brief discussion, the girls decided to follow the little black cat to see where it would take them.

Many boys followed along with the idea of ​​joining in the fun.

At this moment, everyone seems to have forgotten something very important...

So the little black cat began to take them around the teaching building.

During this period, their team naturally continued to grow. Some of them also liked the little black cat, some were curious, and some were just following the crowd...

Then the little black cat led them out of the teaching building, across half of the playground, and came to a large warehouse that had not been used for a long time.

Seeing the little black cat quickly slip into the warehouse through the half-open door, everyone who had followed it here naturally would not give up halfway and followed it in.

As soon as they entered the door, everyone was surprised to find that the sundries that were originally piled up in the warehouse had disappeared, and it became empty, with only a small platform on the east side.

The little black cat was now sitting on the platform, licking its fur leisurely.

Everyone followed and began to discuss in front of the platform why the cat brought them here.

But before they could come to a conclusion, the warehouse door was suddenly closed with a bang.

The students who were closest to it rushed forward to check, but no matter how they pulled or pushed, they couldn't open it.

Just when everyone felt something was wrong, a piece of white cloth above the door suddenly fell, revealing a line of words that had been written on the wall:

"Welcome to the puppetry classroom!"

At the same time, the bell for the elective course rang...

All the little ninjas couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment, and at the same time, a terrible guess came into their minds:

"Why do I feel like... we've fallen into a trap?"
