The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 48 I want you to help me practice

Just as Obito was stunned by his teacher's words, Kushina on the other side was also stunned for several seconds because of the news brought by Minato.

But after the daze, an indescribable feeling of happiness surged into Kushina's heart.

"Great! Minato, thank you!"

Kushina shook Minato's arm with a look of surprise.

"You don't know how bored I usually am!"

"I've decided to take on this job as a consultant on sealing techniques!"

Minato patted Kushina's hand gently to comfort her, and then corrected her:

"Kushina, the person you should thank the most is Hideki. After all, it was he who suggested that you be a consultant on sealing techniques."

Kushina looked a little strange when she heard this, but soon nodded vigorously and said:

"I know. I must thank him in person if I get a chance!"

The reason why Kushina hesitated for a moment was because her previous impression of Kimura Hideki was actually very bad.

because……

The plan that has kept Minato busy these days, and he even has no time to spend with her, has this guy's name written on the cover!

And even when he was eating or taking a break, Minato kept talking about this man's name!
How could Kushina, who was always protective of her food, tolerate this? She immediately regarded her as a slutty bitch who was trying to steal her man. She complained a lot in her heart and almost made a straw man to poke acupuncture at her.

Of course, this little thought disappeared instantly after she received Hideki's invitation.

After all, not everyone can deduce her identity and situation from just a few clues.

Not everyone, after learning of her situation, would hesitate to wade into this muddy water and offer her the job opportunity she most desperately wants.

It is obvious that Hideki and Minato are both talented and good people with the will of fire. No wonder they get along so well!

Kushina was naturally grateful to Hideki for this.

As a new worker, she believes that the way to repay her gratitude is to work hard.

So Kushina couldn't wait to ask:
"Minato, when can I start work then?"

"Kushina, you are too impatient."

Minato smiled, "Before that, wouldn't you like to hear the details of the job and see if you can handle it?"

"Kukuku, Minato, don't underestimate my sealing skills!"

Kushina straightened her slightly barren chest and said proudly:

"It's just designing a rune spell for a toy. How could it be difficult for me, Kushina?"

Minato's smile faltered slightly.

Because he had heard Hideki's previous introduction, he knew that this job was definitely not as simple as Kushina thought.

However, seeing that Kushina was so happy, Minato didn't want to pour cold water on her, so he took out another scroll and said:

"You don't have to listen, but Hideki also gave me a newly developed prototype. Don't you want to take a look at it, Kushina?"

"Minato why are you taking it out now?"

Kushina grabbed the scroll again and looked at the two scrolls in her hand with joy.

Because one is filled with toys, representing entertainment, and the other is filled with prototypes, representing work.

Kushina could already imagine how colorful her life would become in the future.

"Then let's take a look at what Boss Hideki's invention looks like."

Kushina placed the second scroll on the table and spread it out.

Bang!
A cloud of white smoke exploded from the center of the magic circle formed by the rune spell.

As the white smoke dissipated, two small puppets with strange looks appeared on the scroll.

One of them looked like a fat yellow mouse with a lightning-shaped tail.

The other one looked like a little brown fox, with a circle of fluffy cream-colored hair around its neck.

"Wow, so cute!"

Kushina held the brown fox high up and examined it with great interest.

Minato happened to like the yellow mouse more, so he happily went forward to check it out.

However, he discovered that there was actually a small box on the table. When he opened it, he saw two handles and two instruction manuals inside.

"I see, these are indeed the so-called pocket puppet beasts, and they are the two latest models." "Kushina, yours is called Eevee, and this one is called Pikachu, both names are weird."

"Pocket puppet beast?"

Kushina's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Could it be the one that's popular in ninja schools recently? I heard it's very fun."

Minato had roughly guessed what would happen next, but he still struggled feebly:
"Kushina, I think we should first study their internal structures and rune formulas..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Minato-san you don't understand."

Kushina said confidently:

"In order to understand the principles, we should first test how they play."

really……

Minato held his forehead helplessly and sighed.

Kushina had already picked up the two handles, kept one and put the other into Minato's hand, her face full of eagerness to try.

"Come on, Minato, let's fight with my Pocket Puppetmon!"

……

"Wait a minute, Mr. Hideki, why is Charmander suddenly able to breathe fire?"

After being shocked, Obito asked with an unwilling look on his face.

"Since his name is Charmander, what's so surprising about him being able to breathe fire?"

Hideki took it for granted, but then he explained,

"In fact, as you can tell from the name of Charmander, it was originally designed to have the ability to spit fire."

"After all, this function is not difficult to achieve. At least, teacher, I know at least ten methods."

"The reason why it's not implemented is because the pocket puppets are teaching aids after all. In order to prevent them from being easily damaged, their lethality must be limited."

"After limiting its power, the flame is not like the water gun and seed machine gun. It can also trigger the rune formula inside the puppet beast through the impact force, reducing the opponent's health, thus simulating the effect of actual combat."

"That's why I temporarily deleted Charmander's fire-breathing skill."

"But I just learned a rune spell that can sense temperature changes."

"As long as it is integrated into the magic circuit of the puppet beast's health value, then even if the flame is not powerful, it can trigger the magic by increasing the temperature and cause damage."

"This way, Charmander can finally use fire to defeat his opponent!"

Although Hideki was very satisfied with the design he had just come up with, Obito looked a little unhappy and even muttered to himself:

"Actually, it doesn't matter if Charmander can't breathe fire..."

Hideki could see the boy's little thoughts, so he rubbed his head and said:

"I have said this many times in class. The strength of a puppeteer depends on the manipulation technique and the puppet itself."

"So just like you can become stronger through training, Obito, the pocket puppets will also have to evolve."

"Because only in this way can they accompany everyone and grow together for a longer period of time."

Growing together...

Obito's body couldn't help but tremble.

He was frustrated in his fire escape training at the beginning, so he sympathized with Charmander who couldn't breathe fire.

Now that Charmander has learned to breathe fire, he feels abandoned, so he is a little resistant.

However, the teacher's words also gave him an inspiration.

Since puppet beasts can evolve, the last one in the group doesn’t necessarily have to be the last one forever!

Of course, Obito might not even have dared to think of such words in the past.

But isn’t there Dora standing next to him now... No, isn’t it the magical teacher Hideki?
Obito remembered that his teacher said that the human body samakon, which he used to control himself, could also be used in practicing ninjutsu.

So Obito came up with a bold idea.

Just wait, Charmander, I'll catch up with you again soon!
After Obito made up his mind silently, he asked Hideki:
"Teacher, regarding the training later, can we change it to something else?"

Hideki raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course you can, but what do you want to change it to, Obito?"

Obito showed a sly smile and said:
"Teacher, I need you to help me practice and help me cultivate the Great Fireball Technique!"
