The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 53 Obito's Training

"Teacher, you are so mean!"

"You actually wore this helmet on purpose to scare me!"

Not long after, on the riverbank, Obito was accusing Hideki with a resentful look on his face.

Because just now, he was chased by Hideki who was disguised as the Black Samurai for more than ten streets, and the screams of crying for his parents almost spread across most of Konoha...

To be honest, even if the teacher took off his helmet now, Obito was still a little scared, and even suspected that the teacher was possessed by the ghost of Darth Vader...

However, Hideki smiled innocently and said:
"It's a pursuit, not a hunt."

"I just saw that you were awake, Obito, and wanted to show you in person the correct use of this helmet."

"Who knew you'd start running around and screaming as soon as you woke up? I was worried that something might happen to you, so I forgot to take off my helmet and chased after you."

"I didn't expect to scare you with this. I'm so sorry."

Although Hideki's words were well-reasoned and his attitude was sincere, Obito was still somewhat skeptical.

"What about the training just now?"

"Didn't you say there was no danger to my life? But I'm almost suffocating to death!"

"If someone is 'about to' suffocate to death, doesn't that mean that his life is not in danger?"

Hideki asked seriously, and when he saw Obito's eyes suddenly widened, he smiled and explained,
"Of course this is a joke. The truth is that the human body can last for a long time after suffocation, especially for us ninjas, the time can be even longer."

"Plus, with me watching over you, Obito, aside from feeling a little uncomfortable, nothing will really happen to you."

"I even set up a protection mechanism in this helmet. If you suffocate for too long, the exhaust hole will automatically open. It is absolutely foolproof."

Obito's expression eased a little when he heard this. If what the teacher said was true, then this training seemed to be quite safe.

Then Hideki said:
"Although suffocation is indeed not pleasant, as a price for a quick method, it is already quite worthwhile."

"The reason why we must do that is because only at the critical moment of life and death can human beings stimulate the potential power hidden deep within their bodies."

"Because the human body is inherently lazy and dumb."

"Just like we can't sit at home and tell our body to grow some muscles, and then our body will automatically turn our belly into eight-pack abs."

"We must train like crazy and make our bodies sore all over before we can threaten our bodies with torn muscles: I will do this more often in the future, and you can figure out the rest yourself."

"In this way, the body will take care of itself and grow muscles stronger and thicker."

After explaining it in words that Obito could understand, Hideki saw that he seemed to be thinking about something, so he asked:
"Then Obito, let me ask you, based on this principle and your previous personal experience, do you now understand the training principle of this helmet?"

Obito suddenly shuddered, then nodded with a bitter face.

Because the principle was so simple and crude, even he understood it at once.

"Is it because wearing this helmet makes it hard to breathe, and then it threatens the body and requires controlling a large amount of chakra to open the exhaust hole?"

"If you practice this repeatedly, you can improve your chakra control."

"Oh, right? This is very similar to the Fireball Technique, so it should also be able to serve as a training exercise..."

Hideki nodded and said:

"It's OK, that's basically it."

"However, this training method is not just 'just' similar to the Great Fireball Technique."

"Because using breathing to mobilize chakra is a common technique for most ninjutsu that uses the mouth to release chakra."

"Since chakra will dissipate quickly once it leaves the body, gathering a large amount of chakra in the lungs and throat before expelling it in one breath is a very cost-effective option. It can even be said to be the foundation of the Five Elements Escape Technique."

"So if you, Obito, fully master this method, then for basic ninjutsu like Water Wave, you only need to master the corresponding changes in properties to quickly learn it."

"Of course, even the most advanced ninjutsu still requires shaping, that is, changing form, before you can learn it."

At this point, Hideki smiled and said:
"By the way, I heard that your dream is to become Hokage, Obito?"

"Then I'll tell you a secret. In fact, many of the thousands of ninjutsu you need to master to become a Hokage are arranged and combined like this."

"Obito, if you can fully master this technique, you will have taken a solid step towards becoming Hokage."

"Teacher, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

Obito's eyes lit up when he heard that.

Just like Hideki was troubled in his previous life whether to go to Tsinghua or Peking University, Obito has also been troubled since childhood about how to compile the 1,000 ninjutsu required to become Hokage...

I didn't expect there was such a trick.

Hideki pretended to be angry and said:

"Look at what you said, Obito. Do I look like that kind of person?"

picture!so similar!
Obito nodded frantically in his heart, but on the surface he could only change the subject and say:
"Teacher, I remember that I was able to hold my breath for a while just now. Does that mean that my level of Fireball Technique has also improved?"

Hideki shook his head and smiled:
"There should be some improvement, but the effect may not be as good as you think."

"Because that was after all the potential you unleashed at a critical moment, Obito, and it has not yet been truly transformed into your own strength." After saying that, Hideki handed the helmet to Obito again and said:

"In order to achieve this sooner, let's continue practicing quickly."

"You only lasted less than a few minutes before, try to last an hour this time."

"Wait, teacher!"

Obito jumped back as if avoiding a snake or scorpion, waving his hands repeatedly and saying:
"Can't we just take it step by step? An hour? How can I possibly hold on?"

"Besides, I don't have that much chakra!?"

"It seems that you have forgotten what I said before you passed out, Obito."

Hideki had to explain again:

"You keep releasing chakra, of course you can't keep doing it for long, that's why I said before that you have to learn how to recycle chakra."

"Just like breathing, exhale chakra while exhaling, and absorb the chakra that is scattered in the air back into the body while inhaling. Repeat this process. It's very simple."

"By the way, mastering this breathing method actually has other benefits for the body. You will find out later, Obito..."

"How can things be as simple as you say, teacher?"

Obito was used to the big promises made by his teacher, so he put on an expression that said, "I haven't read much, so don't lie to me."

And Hideki responded with a strange smile:

"Don't worry, when the time comes, Obito's potential power will help you master the tricks."

Mr. Hideki, how come you have more confidence in my potential than I do?
Obito shuddered, feeling like his body was telling him to run away as soon as possible.

Obito couldn't help but reveal a smile that was uglier than crying...

No wonder the teacher said that the body is stupid. Now it actually thinks I can run away. Hahahaha!

……

In the following time, Obito repeatedly practiced with the helmet under Hideki's care.

Of course, he couldn't master the technique of recovering chakra all at once as Hideki said, so he couldn't hold out for long each time.

Fortunately, after experiencing the feeling of suffocation several more times, Obito's body finally confirmed that his master was not developing some strange habit, but was really in some kind of predicament.

So with the help of the activated potential power, Obito finally began to learn how to recycle chakra.

The trick is not to just squirt out all the chakra in one breath just for the sake of breathing, but to keep them under your control, maintaining a connected state.

In this way, he could successfully absorb the chakra that escaped outside into his body when he inhaled.

After repeated attempts, by dusk, Obito finally mastered the technique to recover most of the chakra before it was exhausted.

Even now, Obito no longer needs to concentrate fully, and he can temporarily keep his breathing unobstructed and speak at the same time.

Only then did Obito finally believe what his teacher said.

It turns out that people are forced to do things!

If you don’t push yourself, you won’t know that you have such great potential!

Following the fine tradition of the Uchiha clan, Obito, still wearing a helmet, began to ask proudly with his hands on his hips:

"Teacher, am I amazing that I mastered the use of this helmet in just one day?"

It's a pity that what Obito received was not the teacher's praise, but an expression of question mark on the face of an old man on the subway...

"master?"

"Obito what are you talking about?"

Hideki shook his head and sighed.

"When you can run around the school playground fifty times wearing this helmet without any problem, then you have mastered... the first stage of training."

"In terms of the Great Fireball Technique, it can only spit out a fireball with a diameter of two meters."

Obito actually thought that a fireball with a diameter of two meters was already very good.

But obviously the teacher doesn't want him to feel it, but wants him to feel it himself.

"Besides, I have set a total of five breathing difficulty levels for this helmet, and Obito, you're still at level one."

Hideki patted Obito's shoulder kindly and said,
"So until you finish all your training, Obito, you have to remember to spend a few hours every day wearing this helmet."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hideki discovered that Obito's originally steady breathing became disordered again.

Then with a plop, Obito fainted again...
