The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 58 Programming Flow Sealing Technique
"computer……"

Minato said hesitantly.
"Is it a machine used for calculating and storing data? I saw it in a research institute when I was on a mission before."

"that's it."

Hideki smiled and said, "But in addition to calculations, computers can do many interesting things."

"But these are off-topic. If you are interested, Minato, I will tell you in detail later."

"Now I want to discuss the computer language that humans have designed to communicate with computers..."

Even for someone as smart as Minato, this so-called computer language touched upon his blind spots in knowledge.

So Hideki could only quickly go over the relevant basic knowledge with him.

From the principles of machine language, to assembly language, and all the way to high-level language.

Minato was confused at first, but as Hideki explained in a simple and easy-to-understand way, he began to understand.

"So, computer language does have a lot in common with the rune formula of the Sealing Technique..."

Minato couldn't sit still anymore and started pacing around the office, analyzing carefully.
"And I didn't expect that such a complex high-level language would eventually be converted into a series of instructions consisting of '0' and '1' for the computer to execute."

"So Hideki, your idea comes from here?"

Hideki nodded and said:

"Previous theories on sealing techniques all focused on making the rune formula more sophisticated and concise, hoping to cram all the information into one rune."

"But humans' chakra control ability has a limit after all, so the development of sealing techniques has stagnated since a long time ago."

"Since the pursuit of 'quality' doesn't seem to work, we might as well try to win by 'quantity'."

"The most extreme way is to directly copy the mechanical language of the computer and use the conduction and disconnection of chakra to express 1 and 0, thus creating a chakra version of the computer."

"Although this can completely eliminate the various problems caused by changes in properties."

"But this also turns chakra into a pure energy source, which cannot be controlled at will. It would be simpler and more convenient to use electricity as energy directly."

"So I think we should imitate assembly language. We should first break down the runes into as many small pieces as possible until they become the smallest functional units that cannot be broken down any further. For now, let's call them basic runes."

"Then we construct the desired rune formula through the arrangement and combination of a large number of basic runes."

"Because the function of a single basic rune is very simple, even if the nature of the chakra changes, it will not affect the normal operation of the ritual circuit, greatly reducing the requirements for the chakra control of the drawer."

"Similarly, the drawing of the technique circuit no longer needs to be done in one go. There is no need to worry about the technique being too long and having to find ways to compress it."

“In this way, even an S-level difficult sealing rune spell can be drawn by ordinary students with the help of the power of basic runes.

"Perhaps one day, the sealing technique will no longer be a rare secret technique that only a few people can master, but an everyday skill that all ninjas and even civilians must master..."

Hideki said in a slightly bewitching tone:

"Just imagine Minato..."

"If everyone masters the sealing technique, then puppets like Pocket Puppetmon should be widely popularized."

"When they grow larger, they will be the best helpers for humans. They can be used as a means of transportation, and they can also be used in agriculture, construction and other fields."

"In addition to this, everyone may be able to easily use storage scrolls to carry large amounts of supplies, or freely travel around the ninja world through time and space techniques."

"In this way, disputes caused by resource shortages may be reduced."

"Sealing has become a daily skill..."

Minato murmured unconsciously, his eyes gradually emitting an increasingly dazzling brilliance.

To be honest, after discovering that Hideki was able to learn without a teacher and create a whole new school of sealing techniques, Minato no longer dared to underestimate Hideki's ideas.

But I didn't expect that just a dozen minutes later, I was once again shocked by Hideki and my three views were refreshed.

Listen to what this guy is saying!
He actually wanted to popularize the most profound and mysterious sealing technique in ninjutsu!

And it is not just popularized to ninjas, but to everyone in the ninja world!

Just by imagining the beautiful future that Hideki described, Minato couldn't help but feel fascinated and wished that day would come immediately.

However, when Minato thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart.

Because he actually wanted to study the sealing technique with Hideki and work hard to realize the beautiful future he talked about. It's a pity that in order to protect Konoha and Kushina, what he needs most now is strength, and he can't put all his energy on the sealing technique.

However, Minato soon realized that even so, he could still support Hideki in other ways.

Like many children, Minato's dream was to become Hokage one day.

But he actually had no idea what he should do after becoming Hokage.

But at this moment, Minato's dream began to become clearer.

That is to use the power of Hokage to solve Hideki's worries and allow him to devote himself to realizing that beautiful vision.

After clarifying his dream, Minato's temperament seemed to become more stable, and he was getting closer and closer to the future Fourth Hokage.

After calming down again, he began to realize that there were still many problems to be solved in Hideki's plan, so he analyzed it to Hideki:

"Hideki, your idea is indeed very interesting."

“But there are still many problems to be solved in order to achieve this.”

"For example, because the simplest spell circuit also needs to be expressed with a large number of so-called basic runes, it naturally requires more materials."

"Unless everyone can draw such a tiny rune spell like you, Hideki, but that requires strong chakra control."

"And if we want to divide the runes into the smallest possible size and find the basic runes we want, it may not be as easy as you said, Hideki."

After saying that, Minato began to look at Hideki with anticipation, as if waiting for him to come up with some fantastic ideas to shock him again.

It’s a pity that he will be disappointed this time.

Although Hideki had also thought about the problem that Minato mentioned, he already had an idea for a solution.

It’s just that Hideki felt that he had already taken out too many good things in order to quickly gain a foothold in Konoha.

So it's better to take it easy for now, so as not to attract more attention.

For example, the answer to the material problem may be found in the Valley of the End.

If we could draw upon the power of Konoha, we would definitely be able to find a large amount of useful chakra conduction materials more quickly.

It’s a pity that Hideki is still a low-ranking figure now. If he speaks out, he will neither be able to lead the plan nor gain much benefit.

So he decided to try to win the prize every now and then, and once the workshop was on track and fully developed, he would consider whether to cooperate with the village to develop it.

So Hideki just nodded and smiled:
"Minato, you're right. These problems are indeed difficult to solve."

"But there's no need for us to set our goals so high all at once."

“As long as we keep our feet on the ground and start with small problems and make breakthroughs one by one, we will surely reach the future we hope for one day.”

"And the first thing we need to do now is to divide and refine the existing runes and find as many basic runes as possible."

"Because I'm still a beginner in this area, I hope you and Kushina can be more attentive Minato."

"No, I'm glad I could help. Kushina will be no exception when she finds out."

Minato agreed without hesitation, and at the same time felt relieved.

That's right. If we want to fully realize Hideki's idea, it will probably take at least several decades.

So there is really no need to rush to solve all problems at once.

Then, in the following time, Hideki and Minato discussed this programming sealing technique for a long time.

It was not until the sky gradually darkened and under Hideki's teasing eyes that Minato suddenly remembered that there was a pepper bomb waiting for him at home...

With the idea of ​​dying early and being reborn early, Minato said goodbye to Hideki with a bitter face and began to walk slowly towards Kushina's house.

——I just hope that the idea Hideki just mentioned can make Kushina forget the previous mistake...

Minato, who had already arrived at Kushina's door, prayed to the Sage of Six Paths in his heart.

Then he gritted his teeth, suddenly pushed the door open, and spoke directly the lines he had prepared long ago:
"Kushina, do you know what a computer is?"
