6.25% Naruto: The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha / Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Lesson Preparation

Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Lesson Preparation

After the opening ceremony, the Sandaime left the school quickly. It seemed that he was very busy with work.

The class teachers took the students back to the classroom to start the new semester.

After saying goodbye to Inuzuka Jaw, Hideki returned to his office.

His office is located on the first floor of the teaching building. Although the space is not large, it has been cleaned very well, which saves him a lot of effort.

After all, Hideki has decided to make some major adjustments to the teaching plan in order to cope with the crisis of puppetry's bad reputation.

In order to make it to his first class tomorrow, he has to start working quickly.

Xiu Shu first sat in his seat and took out a notebook to look through it.

It records the teaching plan he had prepared previously, and the content mainly refers to the half of the puppetry textbook of Sunagakure.

However, what Hideki is in charge of is just an elective training course after all, and he cannot ask students to focus most of their time and energy on it like the puppeteer apprentices of Sunagakure.

Therefore, he had already made significant deletions and modifications to the content of the teaching materials and developed a teaching plan suitable for the physique of Konoha babies.

Puppetry can be roughly divided into two parts: puppet making and puppet manipulation.

Considering class time and practicality, Xiushu decided to make puppet manipulation the main content of the course.

As for the puppet making part, since it requires learning a lot of professional knowledge and the results are slow, Xiu Shu plans to make it an advanced content and do it after selecting talented students.

It is enough for ordinary students to master how to make and repair some simple ninja tool mechanisms.

Even in terms of puppet control, Hideki actually only intended to teach the most basic parts.

Because he was once a ninja school student, he never hesitated to underestimate the level of students with the worst malice.

Just the most basic chakra line production technology in puppet control is probably enough to make students who haven't even learned how to climb trees or step on water drink a bottle of wine.

Therefore, in Hideki's vision, students would be thankful if they could learn to create and temporarily maintain chakra lines by the end of the semester, and use them to trigger some simple mechanisms.

This way, students will have an additional good method to fight against the enemy, and as the result of the first semester of the puppetry class, it should satisfy all parties.

——Of course, the premise of all this is that the course can proceed smoothly...

Now Xiu Shu has realized that people's prejudice against puppetry is more serious than he imagined, and it may not be so easy to achieve this teaching goal.

You know, learning puppetry itself is very boring.

If students still have prejudices against puppetry, it will be impossible to persist.

That's why Hideki decided to incorporate an entertaining teaching method, hoping to ignite the children's passion for learning puppetry.

"The key lies in the method of cultivating chakra lines..."

Xiu Shu stroked his chin and pondered for a long time before he gradually sorted out his thoughts.

"It must be made as novel and interesting as possible without reducing the efficiency of cultivation."

"It would be best if it is interesting enough that students are willing to study on their own even outside of class, so as to make up for the lack of class time."

Xiu Shu felt that he had finally caught a hint of inspiration, and quickly took out another tattered notebook from his arms and opened it.

This notebook records the information of the ninja tools and puppets he invented over the years, as well as the ideas he has not yet realized.

Hideki thought that perhaps he could make the practice of chakra lines more interesting by transforming one of the inventions into a teaching aid to assist in practice.

"It must be able to train everyone's ability to control chakra lines in all aspects, and it must be interesting enough, and it would be best if it could be used in actual combat..."

Hideki muttered to himself while flipping through his notes.

But after looking through the books for a long time, he still couldn't find the ninja tools that suited his taste.

It was not until he almost turned to the beginning of the notebook that his eyes stopped on one of the pages.

"Small Puppet Beast 1.0... I really miss it."

Xiu Shu said with a hint of emotion.

It turns out that due to Hideki's ordinary background, he was born with a limited amount of chakra, so in order to reduce consumption, he decided to go the route of a small puppet after he had mastered the puppet technique.

This small puppet beast 1.0 is the first result that he spent a lot of time to create.

Because its main purpose is to detect and lure enemies, its appearance is generally chosen to be various cute little animals.

Moreover, Hideki spent a lot of effort on materials and manipulation to make them look lifelike.

However, due to its small size and the limited level of puppet making by Xiu Shu at that time, this type of puppet beast can only be equipped with some small mechanical hidden weapons inside, and its lethality is not high.

In order to make up for this shortcoming, Xiu Shu could only prepare himself mentally to treat them as disposable ninja tools, and reluctantly stuffed a lot of detonating talismans inside them...

Therefore, he jokingly called this 1.0 version of the small puppet beast "cute to the extreme".

It was with this small puppet beast that could explode at any time that Hideki began to emerge on the battlefield.

But the price he paid was that he was very hated during that time, and even attracted the resentment of many small animals.

Because after he succeeded several times, the ninjas in the enemy village, who were paranoid, would always ruthlessly use AOE ninjutsu to attack all the cats and dogs within their field of vision...

Since even real ninjas can hardly resist the temptation of small puppet beasts, wouldn't it be absolutely perfect to use it as a teaching aid? It will definitely be very popular.

Unfortunately, this small puppet beast may not be able to serve as a teaching aid now.

Because with the students' current level, let alone controlling them vividly, even just making them move simply with chakra lines is difficult to do, and it is difficult to use them for practice.

But this idea was so attractive that Xiushu couldn't help but start to wonder whether it could be further modified to meet the requirements of being a teaching aid.

But it seems impossible to complete the design and renovation before class tomorrow.

"It seems like it's time to use that trick..."

After a little thought, Hideki realized that this problem was beyond his ability and decided to use his last resort.

——Everyone thought that Xiu Shu's success was due to his half puppetry textbook, and attributed his success to his talent and luck.

However, what they didn't know was that the reason why Hideki was able to learn puppetry by self-study was actually a ninjutsu he created himself...

It is said that during a break during the Second Ninja World War, Hideki accidentally heard a missionary speech given by an old monk in the market.

However, the sect he promoted was a little special, it was actually the legendary Ninja Sect.

Hideki was also surprised at first how anyone could know about the Ninja Clan from a thousand years ago.

But on second thought, the legend of the Six Paths Sage has been passed down to this day, and he has even become the creator god. So it is very likely that some of his diehard followers have passed down the Ninja Sect he founded to this day.

The old man did not say any practical stuff, but just promoted the Ninja Sect to everyone by telling the story of the Six Paths Sage teaching the world.

It's a pity that just like a thousand years ago, what everyone really wants is ninjutsu that can bring them practical benefits, and they have no interest in ninja sects that want to achieve mutual understanding through chakra.

So the old monk could only leave sadly in the end.

In fact, Hideki did not get any benefits directly from the old monk, but the philosophy of the Ninja Sect still lingered in his mind like the melody of a song whose name he could not remember.

After several days of hard thinking, Xiu Shu finally figured out the problem and came up with a rather bold idea:

"According to the original work, the Six Paths Sage explained the true meaning of chakra, hoping to connect the spiritual energy of people through chakra, so as to achieve the ultimate peace where people can understand each other without words."

"But the warlike humans eventually failed to live up to the expectations of the Six Paths Sage. They chose to use chakra to connect their own spiritual energy and physical energy, thereby amplifying the chakra in their bodies and converting it into force."

"Now here comes the interesting question..."

"What would happen if I used chakra to connect myself to my spiritual energy?"

This idea may sound far-fetched. After all, where in the world can you find a second "self"?

Indeed, in the laws of most worlds, creating an avatar with the same thoughts as oneself is a very high-level ability that cannot be achieved by mortals.

But what's interesting is that the ninja world where Hideki lives is exactly an exception.

With the help of the magical chakra, one only needs to learn the B-level shadow clone technique to easily have a second "self".

In order to verify his conjecture, Hideki spent almost all his savings to buy a scroll of the Shadow Clone Technique from the black market, and then spent several months to learn it.

On the day he learned it, he couldn't wait to start experiments, connecting his own spiritual energy with the spiritual energy of his shadow clone through chakra.

As a result, thirty seconds later, Hideki's head exploded...

The book is finished.

——Well, to be more precise, Hideki's shadow clone's head exploded, and then it disappeared in a puff of white smoke.

Although it looked like the experiment had failed, Hideki held his forehead to endure a severe headache and then burst into a rare and unbridled laugh.

Because this experiment was more successful than he had imagined.

In those short thirty seconds, Xiu Shu found that his thinking became clearer and sharper than ever before.

And this sharp thinking also allowed him to instantly figure out the reason.

When people's spiritual energies are connected through chakras, they can communicate without language.

When his spiritual energy and that of his shadow clone are connected through chakra, because they come from the same source, the communication efficiency is terrifyingly high, and a large amount of information can be exchanged in an instant.

This also means that Xiu Shu can use the brain of the shadow clone to help himself think in real time.

To use an analogy, it is like a single-core CPU becoming a multi-core CPU, or a single computer becoming a cluster of multiple computers.

The brains of the original body and the shadow clone are closely connected through chakra, the "computing power" is directly doubled, and the thinking speed is naturally greatly improved.

The reason why the shadow clone's head suddenly exploded was because the speed of thinking was too fast, which exceeded the load that the shadow clone's brain could bear.

In subsequent repeated tests, Hideki also discovered that the human brain is different from a CPU that can only perform calculations. In the process of thinking about a problem from all angles, it can more easily stimulate and capture fleeting inspiration.

Edison is said to have said that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.

But he actually said another sentence afterwards: That 1% inspiration is even more important than 99% sweat.

Therefore, the result of Hideki's experiment was not as simple as making him think faster, but it enabled him, who was originally just an average person, to become a true genius in a short period of time.

So, Hideki Kimura, who had neither a heaven-defying cheat nor amazing talent, finally created a genius cheat for himself more than ten years after coming to the ninja world.

Considering that this technique is essentially about letting the main body and the shadow clone have a high-speed discussion in the mind through chakra, and the brain needs to work at a crazy high speed when using it, Hideki gave this technique a very appropriate name:

The art of brainstorming.

However, Xiu Shu found that in order to achieve real-time communication between the original body and the shadow clone, a large amount of chakra was required every moment.

Limited by the amount of chakra and the endurance of the shadow clones, even after many improvements, Xiu Shu can only become a genius for three minutes a day at most.

But the three minutes every day add up to a lot, and gradually Hideki's life in the ninja world has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In fact, Hideki was able to master puppetry by self-study thanks to this ninjutsu.

How to continue to improve the effect of this ninjutsu is also one of the important topics for Hideki when he returns to Konoha this time.

But before that, his most important task now is to use this technique to find a solution to the problem at hand...


Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Brain Storm

Before he could officially perform the Brainstorm technique, Xiu Shu had to do some preparation.

He first got up, drew the office curtains, locked the door, and then walked to the open space in front of the desk.

Then Hideki pulled out a storage scroll from his pocket, opened it, and took out six hats that were stacked together.

The hats look similar to the top hats that traditional magicians wear, and come in different colors: red, yellow, green, blue, black, and white.

At the same time, each hat is inlaid with a gemstone of the same color as the hat, and there are many faintly visible strange patterns painted around it.

Hideki first picked up a blue hat and put it on himself. After thinking for a while, he took out a white, red and green hat and placed them on the table.

After he was fully prepared, he began to make seals with his hands.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

The next moment, three puffs of white smoke exploded, and three figures who looked exactly like Xiu Shu suddenly appeared in front of him.

As soon as they appeared, they rushed to reach for the hat on the table without waiting for the original body's instructions.

After two whoosh sounds, the two shadow clones had already grabbed the red and white hats.

The shadow clone, who was a little slow due to his position, had to put on a bitter face and reach out to the remaining green hat, mumbling:

"I know this is imitating the use of the six thinking hats, but can't the green hat be replaced with a different color?"

The so-called thinking hat is actually a method of thinking management that Hideki has known all his life.

It compares different thinking angles to hats of different colors, allowing people to think about problems more systematically and comprehensively by switching "hats".

For example, Hideki, as the entity, wears a blue hat, which represents planning and command. He is responsible for regulating the entire thinking process and drawing conclusions at the end.

The white hat represents objectivity and focuses on information collection, while the red hat represents emotion and emphasizes feelings and perception.

The yellow hat represents optimism and is responsible for providing positive views, while the black hat represents pessimism and is responsible for providing negative and skeptical views.

And the last green hat naturally represents forgiveness... No, it should be creativity, which is responsible for providing solutions to problems and innovative ideas.

In order to make more efficient use of his genius time of no more than three minutes a day, Xiu Shu borrowed the idea of ​​thinking hat to think about problems more comprehensively.

And because of the existence of shadow clones, Xiu Shu does not need to change "hats" one by one to change his thinking angle, but directly assigns a specific thinking angle to both the original body and the shadow clone.

In this way, not only can you think about the problem comprehensively, but the shadow clones with different thinking angles can also communicate in real time, which is more likely to inspire unexpected inspiration.

So theoretically speaking, there should be six people including the original body and shadow clones in order for this technique to achieve the best effect.

It's a pity that Hideki doesn't have enough chakra, and the more shadow clones he has, the greater the load on his brain.

Therefore, creating three shadow clones was the best choice that Xiu Shu came up with after many tests.

After the third shadow clone reluctantly picked up the green hat and put it on, Hideki's real body and the shadow clone sat cross-legged in the open space.

Seeing that the clone was ready, Xiu Shu raised his right hand in front of his chest and said softly:

"Headstorm Technique."

As soon as the words fell, four thinking hats shot out clear and visible chakra lines from the gems, connecting with the thinking hats on both sides to form a blue square.

At the same time, the heads of the three shadow clones suddenly tilted back, their eyes rolled up, and their handsome faces became a little distorted, looking as if they were experiencing considerable pain.

The strange patterns around the Thinking Hat gem suddenly became visible, forming a series of faintly glowing rune spells.

Xiu Shu did not have the time and means to systematically learn the sealing technique before, so he only learned a little bit of the basics.

Therefore, the function of these rune spells derived from sealing techniques is very simple, which is to limit the flow rate of chakra in the chakra line.

In this way, although the speed of information exchange will decrease, the burden on the shadow clone's brain will also be reduced, and it will not explode due to excessive load all of a sudden. The final effect will be better.

As for the real Hideki, he was concentrating with his eyes closed, and his expression was not as exaggerated as that of the shadow clone.

Because the subject's brain is not a disposable item that can be destroyed without any regrets, it is not responsible for specific thinking work.

Hideki's task at this time is to evaluate and regulate the various ideas generated by the three shadow clones through crazy communication and thinking, and determine whether to continue to dig deeper in the corresponding direction.

Even so, processing a large amount of information in a short period of time still gave Hideki a headache for several hours afterwards.

However, compared with the effect of this technique, paying such a price is already very worthwhile.

Moreover, after using this technique many times, Hideki discovered the unexpected benefits it brought.

Perhaps it is similar to the principle of muscle training. After each headache, Xiu Shu would find that his mental energy increased slightly.

Although the effect is not very obvious, but little by little it adds up to a lot, and Xiu Shu gradually develops quite good mental strength.

In addition to gradually extending the time it takes for the shadow clone's head to explode, it also allows Hideki to become more adept at controlling chakra.

Thanks to this, he was able to master the technique of controlling puppets with chakra lines in just a few years.

Therefore, Hideki always consciously adjusts the chakra restriction technique of the thinking hat, so as to create an appropriate burden on the brain for training during the performance of this technique.

Three minutes passed quickly.

At this time, smoke began to come out of the heads of the three shadow clones, and then they exploded one by one with a bang, leaving only three top hats floating lightly on the ground.

The remaining chakra of the shadow clone began to return to the original body, and the memory of the previous thought also flooded into Xiushu's brain, giving him another headache.

But the rich harvest still made Xiu Shu stand up in surprise and shout:

"Eureka!"

However, Hideki did not start sorting out the harvest immediately. Instead, he took out a bottle of strawberry milk that he had prepared in advance from his pocket and drank it all in one gulp.

Because the brain storm just lasted for three minutes, a large amount of sugar in his body had been consumed, and it had to be replenished immediately.

After replenishing his sugar intake, Hideki massaged his temples with both hands to relieve his headache while pacing back and forth in the office, sorting out his gains this time:

"Such a simple solution, how come I didn't think of it just now?"

"The reason why it is difficult for small puppet beasts to become teaching tools right away is that the students are probably not even proficient in making chakra lines now, so they can't use them for training at all."

"But the creation, maintenance, and even manipulation of chakra lines are ultimately the external manifestations of chakra control."

"So as long as it can help you train your chakra control, you don't have to stick to using chakra lines to control it from the beginning."

"Maybe we can design an auxiliary ninja tool first."

"Even if students don't know how to create chakra lines, they can use them to control puppets and practice chakra control at the same time."

"It's like putting on training wheels when you're learning to ride a bike."

"Instead of letting children fall and get frustrated at the beginning, it is better to give them some assistance and let them experience the fun of riding a bicycle first, and perhaps they can make faster progress."

"——Of course, how to prevent them from becoming dependent on the 'Assistance Wheel' is also a problem that needs attention."

In just three minutes of genius time, Xiu Shu had figured out how to improve the small puppet beast so that it could meet the requirements of becoming a teaching aid.

In order to avoid forgetting the details, Xiu Shu quickly sat back in his seat and began to write furiously on his notes.

When he put down his pen, Xiushu realized that he had already written more than ten pages of densely packed notes.

Because it not only contains the basic form of teaching aids, but also how to upgrade them in the future to adapt to the level of students, Xiushu has already made a lot of plans.

"Everyone will be surprised tomorrow."

Hideki looked at the teaching aids he had just designed, and thought about how shocked the little ninjas would be when they saw the finished product, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up with joy.

But now is not the time to rest.

Although Xiu Shu still felt a dull pain in his head, he just wanted to have a good sleep.

But in order to make the teaching aids before tomorrow's class, he had to start preparing immediately...
