The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 140 Battle Form

I saw Hideki appear behind Zishu at some point, with a playful smile on his face.

Rat swallowed hard, his eyes filled with alertness and endless confusion.

It was obvious that he had just finally thought of a clever plan to break the impasse, and was preparing to go back and show off his skills and officially start stealing intelligence.

How come Kimura Hideki suddenly appeared in his secret base, and he even knew the secret that Lord Danzo was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Playing dumb, quibbling, and putting the blame on others?
These thoughts emerged one by one in the Rat's mind, but were quickly put behind him.

In the end, he could only turn around slowly, spread his hands and said with a wry smile:
"As expected, you are a talent chosen by Lord Danzo."

"Can you tell me where I made a mistake?"

Hideki was looking at the layout of the basement with curiosity, and was amazed at this small but complete supply point.

I feel like if it weren't for the current situation, the other person and I would have a lot of common topics.

such a pity……

Hearing Zishu's question, Hideki shook his head slightly, and contrary to his usual riddle-telling style, he began to explain:

"Senior, the transformation technique you performed is indeed very exquisite. It can even perfectly restore the various internal structures of living things."

"So although I was wary of Jerry's sudden appearance, after several attempts, I still couldn't find any decisive flaws."

"In fact, the reason why I was able to follow you here, Senior, is thanks to Atla's help..."

Seeing the other party's suspicious look, Hideki smiled jokingly again, not knowing whether he was laughing at the other party or at himself.

He then explained:

"Senior, since you were able to sneak in this way, you should have known that there is a barrier around the orphanage."

"But you may not know that in order to prevent the children from being taken hostage, I added a small function to the barrier."

"It's just that the chakra signatures of everyone in the orphanage have been recorded. Once someone leaves a certain distance from the orphanage, I will be notified."

Hideki smiled and said,

"Here is the key. After several days of Atla's persuasion, I also recorded the chakra characteristics of Senior, no, it should be Jerry."

"Because she thinks this record is a symbol of family, and it's too pitiful to exclude you, Jerry..."

Hideki shook his head slightly.
"Speaking of which, I spent a lot of effort to make the barrier able to sense the weak chakra in Jerry's body."

"But I didn't expect that after only a few days of improvement, there would be such an ironic result..."

Atla...

The Rat opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. He felt mixed emotions for a moment.

This time he will break his usual behavior and choose to play the role of a cute little mouse in order to win the favor of everyone in the orphanage and make it easier for him to steal information in the future.

Who would have thought that it was this good feeling that became the fundamental reason for his exposure.

Rat was speechless for a moment, and Hideki was too lazy to say more, so he smiled and said:

"Since you have no other questions, it is time to settle the accounts..."

The Rat knew something was wrong, so he quickly suppressed his strange emotions in his heart and secretly stepped on a mechanism on the ground.

laugh!
Several small holes on the surrounding rock walls began to spew out purple poisonous smoke.

The Rat didn't think that this mechanism could kill Kimura Hideki, so he took the opportunity to quickly cast a seal.

"Earth Release: The Art of Reflecting Fish in the Earth!"

"Goodbye Kimura Hideki, let's just call it a draw this time. I advise you not to catch up again..."

After saying that, the Rat drilled into the wall behind him, and actually went in as if he could pass through walls, and quickly moved away.

"We really have a lot in common in this regard."

Hideki had used his belt to create a thin barrier around him to isolate the poison gas. Seeing the other party's way of escaping, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

Then he also formed seals with his hands, and then jumped lightly, drilling into the rock wall above his head. "Earth escape technique: Earth Dragon Hide Technique!"

Both of these ninjutsu are true "earth escape techniques", which are means of moving underground.

The only difference is that the technique of fish reflected in the soil is like a fish entering the sea, which makes the soil around the body become like liquid and then swims in it.

Hideki's Earth Dragon Hidden Technique is to turn the soil into sand, and dig and sneak around like a weasel, which can be said to be similar in nature.

So in the following time, the two began to chase each other underground, starting an unprecedented chase.

The difference in their escape skills gradually became apparent, and in the end, Hideki's improved Earth Dragon Hidden Technique was slightly better.

The rat was driven around in circles underground. Seeing that it was about to be caught, it had no choice but to swim upwards, as if trying to escape from the ground.

……

A moment later, in a clearing in the forest near the willow tree.

Suddenly, a spider-web-like crack appeared on the ground, and then Hideki emerged from the ground and began to look for the whereabouts of the enemy.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a huge shadow suddenly rushed towards him from behind a big tree.

Under the moonlight, you can see that it is actually a giant rat more than three meters tall, with an extremely ferocious appearance.

At the same time, a burst of words mixed with the roar of a wild beast came out of its mouth:

"Kimura Hideki, why do you dare to catch up with me..."

"Since when did you start to have the illusion that you can beat my uncle, Rat?"

Then a whistling sound of breaking wind was heard.

boom!
Even while Hideki was in mid-air, a huge claw slapped him down with force, knocking him to the ground again.

A series of pig-slaughtering howls followed, echoing in the surrounding forests and scaring away many birds and animals living nearby.

But if you listen carefully, you will find that the scream did not come from Hideki, but from Rat, who was full of confidence just now.

It just found out that Hideki was chasing it relentlessly, so it had no choice but to make up its mind. It moved upwards pretending to escape, while using Transfiguration to transform into its own combat form, intending to teach this ignorant kid a lesson.

Who knew that it was actually itself that was taught a lesson...

Its right paw was now covered in blood and it was pressing with its left paw, but the effect seemed to be limited.

It endured the severe pain in its right claw and looked down, only to find that what it had just hit was not Hideki, but a lifelike puppet.

Moreover, at this moment, densely packed steel needles were popping out from the puppet's body, just like a cactus.

"Damn puppeteer!"

The Rat roared towards the sky.

At this time, Hideki slowly rose from the ground beside him, and said helplessly with his hands spread out:
"Senior Rat, right?"

"When did you get the illusion that a puppeteer like me would be so stupid as to rush to the front?"

"Will my brain's thinking ability be affected after I turn into a mouse?"

"Roar!"

Rat was poked in a sore spot, and the severe pain in his hand made his anger reach its peak, and his eyes suddenly turned bloodshot.

Indeed, an animal's brain has a great influence on its thinking.

Especially the demon bear rat it has transformed into now, which is itself a ferocious monster.

So at this moment, it was almost forgetting the instructions of Lord Danzo, and just wanted to tear the hateful guy in front of it into pieces!

"Secret Technique: Rat Bullet Chariot!"

After a roar, the giant rat suddenly flipped forward on the spot, transformed into a round black meat ball in the air, and shot towards Hideki...
