The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 82 A stunning plan
Hideki did not doubt the sincerity of Obito's gratitude at this moment.

But he was also sure that once this kid turned evil, he would kill him without mercy.

In fact, Hideki initially wanted to keep a distance from Obito, a guy who had a high probability of turning evil.

But since they have become so familiar with each other accidentally, Hideki will stick to his usual style.

With his current strength, he would certainly decline the opportunity to confront Uchiha Madara head-on.

But he would be happy to try to change the tragedy if he could.

Therefore, in order to avoid Obito's darkening, Hideki decided that in addition to strengthening the child's three views, he must also continue to strengthen the child's psychological endurance.

In order to avoid the death of his childhood sweetheart, this kid planned to drag the entire ninja world to be buried with him.

As for the method...

Of course, there are also various anti-human practices that challenge both psychological and physiological limits!
Hideki has decided to make Obito suffer in his mind, exhaust his muscles, starve his body, deprive him of all poverty, and make him do things in a way that will make him a super tough guy who can remain calm even when facing a huge obstacle.

By then, he would like to see what other methods Madara-sama can use to make Obito turn evil...

So... feel the pain, Obito!
Hideki laughed in his heart, but on the surface he said in a gentle tone:

"Obito, you're welcome."

"After all, this is just a newly created secret technique. I have to thank you, Obito, for continuing to provide me with useful data in the future."

Although the teacher's expression and words were very kind, for some reason, Obito felt a sudden chill down his spine, making him shiver.

Maybe it's an illusion...

The naive Obito thought so, but he didn't know that his miserable life had just begun.

At this time, Hideki saw Akai's face full of envy, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak, and he understood, so he smiled and said:

"If you're willing, Kai, we can actually learn together."

"Of course, the prerequisite is that you must first obtain the approval of Senior Dai."

"Is it really possible, Mr. Hideki?"

Akai's eyes lit up immediately, but then he hesitated.
"But I am no longer a student of the Ninja School, and I don't have any points to pay you, teacher..."

Hideki smiled and said, "That's an easy question."

"In fact, after Senior Dai selects and initially trains a group of security guards, I plan to teach them this chakra breathing method."

"So as long as you are willing to help guide them in their training, then I can teach you this breathing method in advance."

"Great! Of course I do!"

Akai jumped up happily, then he thought of what the teacher had just said, and ran to the training ground near the orphanage.

"Then I'll go ask Dad for his advice now!"

By the time Hideki heard these words, Akai had already disappeared...

Seeing this, Hideki could only spread his hands helplessly.

While there was still time, Hideki began to instruct Obito:

"By the way, Obito, you'd better not use this breathing method in school for the time being."

"Ah? Why?"

Obito's eyes widened in disappointment, as if he had just discovered that Santa Claus didn't exist.

Because he had actually just made up his mind that he would use this breathing method in the physical training class next week so that everyone could see the true strength of him, Master Obito.

"First of all, of course, it's because this breathing method is very powerful."

Hideki explained, "Obito, before you master it, it's easy to hurt yourself or others, so don't use it recklessly."

Obito wanted to protest, but he immediately wilted when he saw Victim No. 1 still lying beside him.

However, after hearing what the teacher said next, he quickly turned from sadness to joy.

"And Obito, don't you want to make a splash on a bigger stage?"

Hideki smiled and said,
"The school will probably announce it next week, so there's no harm in telling you now."

"Actually, around the final exams, the school will hold its first special points event, called the [Ninja School First Martial Arts Tournament]."

"To put it simply, it's a competition that all students in the school can participate in. The first place winner will get 500 points."

"Five...Five hundred points!!"

Obito's eyes widened, "That's enough to ask half of the Hokage to give us some advice!"

He is not Erdianwu Satoru, please don’t cut him in pieces casually!
Hideki complained in his mind.

It seems that this kid's psychological quality needs to be strengthened. Just 500 points made him incoherent.

Obito has entered fantasy time at this time.

He seemed to have seen himself winning the martial arts competition, holding a huge check for 500 points, and enjoying the cheers of the entire school...

Just thinking about it, Obito's drool was almost flowing onto the ground... slurp!

Obito finally came to his senses and used the key points of chakra breathing to suck his saliva back into his mouth like slurping noodles, which made Hideki take a few steps back with a look of disgust on his face.

"Teacher! I will definitely master the breathing method completely before the martial arts competition!"

Obito raised his fists in front of his chest and shouted with fighting spirit.

Hideki nodded with a smile, and thought to himself:

Very good, the carrot from the Great Fireball Technique is about to expire, so it’s just right to use the fresh carrot from the martial arts tournament to replenish it.

Otherwise, if there is nothing hanging in front of Obito, given his temper, he will definitely be discouraged by the more brutal training ahead...

Not long after, Akai came back running and said happily that he had got his father's permission.

Hideki took out a white stormtrooper helmet and gave it to Kai. After explaining the basic techniques, he asked Obito to practice with him aside.

After the two of them left happily, Hideki looked at Asuma who was lying on the ground and said leisurely:

"Now that you're awake, get up. There are a lot of bugs on the ground here."

Then teacher, why do you put me here?
Asuma complained inwardly before sitting up.

In fact, he had already woken up when the teacher explained the so-called chakra breathing method.

It was only because he didn't know how to face everyone that he continued to pretend to sleep.

So he already knew about the breathing method, and the fact that he was actually defeated by Obito.

Asuma didn't remember how he was defeated.

Maybe it was because she fainted quickly, or maybe it was because her subconscious didn't want him to recall the painful memories...

But now when he looked at Obito not far away, his anus couldn't help but tighten.

Asuma knew that this was a natural human reaction when they were nervous and afraid.

This made him both shocked and curious. What kind of terrible move did Obito use to carve the mark of fear on himself...

At the same time, this fear further confirmed the fact that he lost to Obito, the last-place finisher, and the last bit of pride in Asuma's heart completely collapsed and shattered.

Although Obito has mastered the so-called chakra breathing method, he can only defeat himself by surprise.

Although I still have many tricks up my sleeve, if I were to do it again, the result would definitely be different.

But Asuma knew very well that these were all excuses, and in a real ninja battle the enemy would not give him a second chance.

He finally began to understand why his father rarely praised him.

Because compared with the resources I have obtained, my current achievements are not worth mentioning at all.

For example, now, he has learned so much from his father, the Hokage, but he still can't beat Obito, who only received a few instructions from his teacher.

Asuma certainly didn't think that Mr. Hideki's teaching level was better than his father who taught the Sannin, so the problem obviously lay with himself.

This made him begin to feel a little confused.

In the past, I had always been eager to break free from the constraints of being the son of Hokage.

But now he realized that all his pride seemed to be built on this identity.

If you strip it away, what is left?
Maybe... the only thing he's good at is being a hawker?

Asuma couldn't help but sneer, then said bitterly:

"Teacher Hideki, I just now realize how useless I am."

"I keep saying that I don't want others to think of me as the Hokage's son, but without this identity, I'm basically nothing..."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Hideki smiled and said,

"Because things like talent and ability only make sense to talk about after you've tried your best."

"From what you said, Asuma, you have never tried hard on your own. How can you deny everything about yourself so easily?"

Asuma's eyes finally showed a little more life when he heard that, but he was still a little hesitant.

"But teacher, how can I be sure that I am relying on my own strength, rather than the various benefits I have gained from my previous status?"

“I don’t think it’s necessary to make such a clear distinction.”

Hideki smiled and said, "After all, it is difficult for humans to completely get rid of the influence of their identity."

"Of course, if you really want to be serious, Asuma, you might as well choose some brand new tracks, so that there will be less interference factors."

After saying that, he cast his gaze towards Obito and Kai who were sparring, and glanced at the workshop not far away.

Asuma followed Hideki's gaze and soon understood what the teacher meant...
