The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 61: Thousand Changes

Matt Dai was halfway there when he remembered that he should ask for leave from his foreman first.

After asking for leave, he pulled Hideki to the forest nearby and prepared to have a sparring match.

According to him, he wanted to first witness Hideki's so-called physical skills inspiration, and then see how to help Hideki improve.

"Hideki, I remember you were already a special jonin?"

"Then I have to give it my all, otherwise the test may not be effective..."

Just as they found a suitable open space, Might Dai suddenly said something that almost gave Hideki a myocardial infarction.

"It seems that the time for me to burn my youth has finally come!"

Give your best?
Do you want to beat me to death?
Hideki's face turned green when he saw that Might Dai had already started to remove the weights.

You have to know that this uncle is not clear about his own strength. Hideki is afraid that he will open the Eight Gates of Dunjia in anger at the beginning and kick him to death...

In order to avoid the tragedy, Hideki said quickly:
"Senior Dai, although I am a special jonin, my strength lies in puppetry."

"In terms of taijutsu alone, I'm afraid I can barely be considered a chunin, so you don't have to take it so seriously!"

"makes sense……"

Matt Dai scratched his head and said,

"I was planning to use the Eight Gates that I have practiced for many years. I think that when I open the sixth gate, the Jingmen, I should be able to barely match you, Hideki."

"Now it seems that opening the four-door damage door should be enough..."

Is this really human language?
If you do this again I'm going to call the police!
Hideki suddenly broke out in sweat on his forehead and wanted to turn around and run away immediately.

"Senior Dai, I think in order to make the test results more rigorous, you should gradually improve your strength based on the actual situation in battle."

Hideki advised with a helpless look on his face.

Matt Dai pondered for a moment and felt that it made sense.

Anyway, it's just a sparring match, so there's really no need to use the Eight Gates Ninjutsu right away.

With this thought in mind, the beast-like aura in him that wanted to prey on anyone finally disappeared, and he returned to his original husky aura.

"Then I'm going to do it, Hideki!"

After everyone did some simple warm-up exercises, Might Day suddenly pushed off the ground and rushed forward, punching Hideki.

So fast!

Although he has not activated the Eight Gates, years of anti-human training still allow Might Guy to possess quite good strength under normal circumstances.

Fortunately, Hideki was not much behind and had already activated the spider sense technique.

A large amount of chakra threads have been wrapped around Might Dai and even on his body.

Based on the contraction of his body muscles, Hideki could easily judge what kind of attack he was going to launch.

So as long as Might Dai's speed is not so fast that Hideki cannot react, Hideki will be able to easily dodge all his attacks.

But this is not a real fight after all, and Hideki still has to show Might Guy his so-called physical skills inspiration.

Which kind of Taijutsu inspiration should I test first this time...

Hideki made a decision in an instant, and suddenly raised his left hand, followed by a black shadow shooting out from his wide sleeves.

At the same time, the sound of mechanisms changing rang out one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the black shadow turned into a purple iron umbrella, just blocking Might Day's fist.

Bang!
A huge crash sounded, but the iron umbrella remained motionless despite such a powerful blow.

What the hell is this?

Might Dai obviously lacked combat experience, and he was stunned for a moment after his attack was blocked by the iron umbrella that suddenly appeared.

"Be careful, Senior Dai!"

It was not until Hideki reminded him that Might Dai noticed that there was a circle of small holes around the sharp top of the iron umbrella, and at this time there was a hissing sound of wind coming from inside.

At the same time, a strange stench was drilling into his nose... Without thinking too much, Mighty kicked the iron umbrella quickly, and with the reaction force, he flipped backwards and quickly left the spot.

Then the next moment, with a bang, a fierce flame gushed out from the circle of small holes in the iron umbrella, and for a moment the forest was filled with flames.

Might Dai fell to the ground and swallowed hard when he saw this.

If I fail to dodge, I am afraid my youth will finally burn out this time...

is not that right?

Even the people were burned to death, let alone the youth?

However, Might Dai did not blame Hideki for being too harsh.

Because he knew that Hideki waited until he dodged before detonating the fireball.

I can only blame myself for having too little experience, as I was just standing there in a daze.

After reviewing his mistakes, Might Dai couldn't help but turn his gaze to Hideki.

He had heard that Hideki had become a special jonin, but he hadn't felt it was real yet.

It was not until the battle that almost cost him his life that he truly realized that Hideki was no longer the ninja school student he used to be, but a battle-hardened ninja.

Even if you are using the physical technique that you are least good at, you still need to give it your all.

--Huh?

Mighty Dai finally realized something was wrong.

"Wait Hideki, was that a taijutsu?"

Might Dai couldn't help but let out a cry from the depths of his soul!
Hey, hey, hey, isn't taijutsu just a rigid routine of punching and kicking?
Even if Hideki used ninja tools like kunai to fight, he would not have any objection.

But what the hell is fire breathing?

Might Dai began to wonder if Hideki had accidentally used his usual fighting style.

Unexpectedly, Hideki said with a puzzled look:

"Isn't this considered a taijutsu?"

"Being able to fight with a hidden blade should still be considered a physical skill."

"Hideki, that's a... a hidden sword?"

Matt Dai was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

This is such a big iron umbrella, and you told me it was a hidden dagger.

But as if to answer his question, the next moment Hideki folded the iron umbrella and retracted it into his sleeve with a click, leaving only the sharp blade on the top outside.

Hey, now it looks exactly like a hidden blade.

Seeing that Might Dai was still a little confused, Hideki had to explain with a smile:
"In fact, this was just a hidden blade at first. It was the self-defense tool I chose after becoming a puppeteer."

"Because you need to use the fingers of both hands to control the puppet, you will choose this kind of ninja tool that does not need to be held for self-defense."

"But later I used my knowledge as a puppeteer to gradually add a lot of mechanisms to it, and finally it became what it is now."

"Because it can be transformed into various mechanical ninja tools, I call it the Thousand Machine Sleeve Sword."

After saying that, Hideki rolled up his sleeves and revealed the true appearance of the Thousand Machine Sleeve Sword.

Unlike ordinary hidden blades hidden in a small wrist guard, Hideki's entire left arm is covered with various sophisticated mechanical structures. God knows how many mechanisms he has stuffed in there.

The reason why Hideki's sleeves are so wide is actually to hide the true appearance of the mechanical arm guard.

After putting his sleeves down, Hideki said with a smile:

"Senior Dai, I have finally explained it clearly now."

"Then I wonder if the mechanical fluid technique I perform with the help of this ninja tool is still considered a taijutsu?"
