The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 59: The Rare Beast Appears
After Minato left, Hideki did not leave the school with him, but stayed to correct homework.

Because if he didn't get this thing taken care of now, Hideki doubted that he would have a hard time finding the free time to do it later.

After students have checked each other's homework, there are naturally no obvious mistakes or omissions, but this also makes the grading process more boring.

"Maybe we can find a few students to help with grading, and pay them with points."

Hideki started to have evil ideas.
"Or I can just let the students correct each other's work, which would achieve a mutually beneficial effect, and I wouldn't have to spend any points, hehe..."

After calculating about the children, Hideki's thoughts returned to Minato's visit just now.

After investing a lot of resources and painting a huge pie, the favorability of Minato and Kushina should be almost reached.

It seems that outsourcing the task of finding basic runes to the two of them shouldn't be a problem.

However, the biggest price he paid was exposing the fact that he possessed extraordinary chakra control.

Fortunately, letting everyone gradually discover this secret was part of Hideki's plan.

Because with the success of the puppetry class and the development of the workshop, he will inevitably attract a lot of inquiring eyes.

There must be many people who will try to figure out what on earth could allow an ordinary civilian ninja to become the only puppeteer in Konoha in a short period of time.

In order to hide his most important brainstorming technique, Hideki had to prepare a perfect answer in advance to deal with them.

So he planned to use the chakra control he had developed through the brainstorming technique to transform himself into a buried genius with a certain specialty.

Fortunately, this situation is not uncommon in the ninja world.

Because it is so difficult to acquire ninjutsu, even if civilian ninjas have certain talents, it is difficult for them to find the ninjutsu that suits them best from the beginning.

Just like Sakura Haruno in the original work, she is a top student, but at the end of the first part, she can only learn the Three Body Technique.

It was not until he became Tsunade's apprentice that he discovered his talent for medical ninjutsu.

And in her case, she is very lucky.

More often than not, these ninjas would waste their best time for training in the process of searching, become lost in the crowd, or even lose their lives.

Only a small number of people can acquire the right ninjutsu by chance, and from then on they can make a leap forward and soar into the sky.

And Hideki wants to play the role of such a lucky person.

If there are enemies who naively think that Hideki's trump card is this, then Hideki will definitely give them a big surprise in battle...

……

The next morning, Hideki went to the orphanage to check on the progress of the workshop.

At this time, the land around the orphanage was no longer as quiet as usual and had become a huge construction site.

With the approval of the Sandaime, Konoha's official engineering construction team arrived here several days ago and are building workshops and various ancillary buildings in full swing.

Xiushu was very satisfied with the professional level of the construction team, which was almost comparable to the top construction team in his previous life.

Although they do not have the help of various large machines, they also have various ninjutsu as a substitute.

When Hideki saw a giant from the Akimichi clan using the super-multiplication technique and building a structure with wood like building blocks, he knew that the completion of the workshop would be just around the corner.

After repeatedly reminding the children at the orphanage gate not to get too close to watch the giant, Hideki followed a foreman to a large cement building for inspection.

"Boss, your requirements for this building are really strange."

"No windows, only a thick door, and the walls must be strong and well sealed..."

"If I didn't know, I would have thought you were going to build a prison cell!"

The old foreman, now with a head of white hair, was shouting loudly and vigorously.

His heroic voice echoed back and forth in the empty concrete building, making Hideki feel dizzy.

Although he was very satisfied with the house, Hideki decided to leave this place first.

When the two of them arrived at the door of the building, Hideki said with a smile:

"I am very satisfied with this training room. Thank you for your trouble."

"Is this a training room?"

The old foreman muttered quietly, "Isn't this kid afraid of suffocating to death in there if the door is closed?"

There were suddenly several black lines on Xiushu's forehead.

Hey, I'm right next to you. Do you think I can't hear you if you speak softly?
Well, Hideki could only pretend he didn’t hear it.

Just at this moment, a green figure appeared in his sight, carrying several pieces of wood and moving quickly through the construction site.

Hideki's eyes lit up involuntarily.

The foreman noticed Hideki's gaze and said cheerfully:

"Boss, do you know that ten thousand year old Genin, Might Dai?"

"The construction schedule is very tight this time, so we recruited some Genin to help, and we didn't expect to find this treasure." "It turns out that Adai is not good at being a ninja, but he is very good at being a construction worker. He really chose the wrong career."

Hideki looked a little strange when he heard this.

No, no, no, I can actually be a ninja.

In a few years, this guy will be able to fully open the Eight Gates of Dunjia and turn the famous Seven Ninja Swordsmen into the Three Lucky Treasures...

However, the appearance of Might Dai also made Hideki start to think.

To become stronger, in addition to making the strengths longer, it is also necessary to appropriately make up for the weaknesses.

In the past, in order to pursue cost-effectiveness, Xiushu always added skill points to saving his life and ambushing others.

Therefore, he rarely had direct confrontations with the enemy, and there was no need for him to improve his physical skills.

Although he plans to maintain his previous fighting style in the future.

It’s a pity that the powerful enemies he may face in the future will not make it so easy for him to get what he wants.

Therefore, Hideki had already included physical training in his plan to become stronger, and would gradually implement it after the workshop opened.

As a master of hidden physical skills, Might Dai was naturally in his plan.

But now that they have met by chance, Hideki doesn't mind moving the plan forward a little.

So after saying goodbye to the foreman, Hideki walked over to Matt Dai, who was concentrating on moving bricks, and said hello:

"Senior Dai, long time no see."

"Excuse me, who are you?"

Might Dai put down the wood in his hand and looked at Hideki with a puzzled look.

Hideki's expression froze for a moment, and then he said helplessly:
"It's me, Kimura Hideki. I asked you for advice on Taijutsu before."

Yes, Hideki actually asked Might Dai for advice on taijutsu back then.

Since he hadn't developed the brainstorming technique at that time, in order to become stronger, he planned to take the physical training route and use hard work to make up for his lack of talent.

The person he could ask for advice was naturally Might Dai, who mastered the secret technique of the Eight Gates.

It’s a pity that Hideki eventually gave up this path.

Because after training for a month under the guidance of Matt Dai, he was hospitalized for a month because his body couldn't hold on any longer...

When he was discharged from the hospital, Hideki found that he was even weaker...

From then on, Hideki realized that fairy tales were all lies, and that hard work itself requires talent.

The exaggerated amount of training that Might and his son did would be impossible to sustain without a naturally strong body!

"Are you Hideki boy?!"

After hearing Hideki's self-introduction, Might Dai recognized him with difficulty.

After all, no matter who it is, it is difficult to connect the handsome and elegant young ninja in front of them with the skinny ninja school student in the past.

"I haven't seen you for a few years. I didn't expect that you have grown so big, Xiushu!"

Matt Dai burst into tears as soon as he heard a disagreement.

“——Is this the magic of youth?”

I think this must be the magic of puberty...

Hideki complained in his heart and responded with a smile:
"Senior Dai, you haven't changed at all. You're still so energetic."

"Of course, my youth is still burning fiercely!"

Matt Day gave a big thumbs up and grinned, revealing two rows of white, shining teeth.

After the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, Matt Dai asked curiously:
"By the way, Hideki, are you also here to work at the construction site today?"

Hideki's expression froze instantly. He looked down at his dark blue uniform and saw that he didn't look like he was here to work.

Fortunately, Matt Dai quickly realized the problem and said very considerately:

"Don't worry, I have a spare pair of tights that I can lend to you, Hideki!"

After that, Might Dai, who obviously didn't have a single pocket on his body, pulled out a wrinkled tights from somewhere and stuffed it into Hideki's hand. It felt warm to the touch...

Then he gave a thumbs up again and showed his signature smile.

Ah!
Hideki suddenly remembered.

I gave up on taijutsu not only because I had no talent, but also because I just couldn't handle this hot-blooded uncle with a unique mind...

This made Hideki start to hesitate:
Do I really want to continue this ill-fated relationship just to practice physical skills?
