The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 225 Hideki Fights the Tiger

If possible, Hideki actually doesn't want to show up.

But seeing that Yinhu was so determined to run away, he had to use himself as bait to keep him.

According to the original plan, it would be best to catch the tiger.

If that fails, it would be acceptable to track down his base camp and then have Fugaku send people to encircle and suppress it.

But after seeing the opponent's speed, Hideki realized that this plan might be difficult to succeed.

Because he really didn't have 100% confidence that he wouldn't lose this guy.

It's really unlucky...

This guy is codenamed Tiger and has such a burly build, but it turns out that he is not a strength-type ninja, but a speed-type one.

According to his observation just now, if the Flying Thunder God Technique was not counted, this guy's speed had even surpassed Minato.

If he wasn't a Root ninja who was afraid of being seen in public, perhaps Minato wouldn't even have been given the title of Yellow Flash.

Of course, the level of teleportation is not entirely determined by speed.

There is still a big gap in actual combat between Yinhu's straightforward charging moves and Minato's instant body movement technique that can be used to respond to changes.

The reason why Hideki was so sure was because he had roughly understood the principle behind Yinhu's ability.

Flying Thunder Tiger.

Such a creature is recorded in the catalog of strange beasts left by Zishu.

It is said that its hind legs are exceptionally strong, filled with elastic tendons and muscles that can store large amounts of potential energy through compression, just like a spring.

The speed generated by just kicking the legs is already quite amazing.

But once it jumps and steps back and forth in the woods between mountains, storing the potential energy of its thigh muscles to the extreme, its speed will be like lightning and difficult to capture with the naked eye.

In addition, every time it kicks its legs, there is a loud noise, so it is named Flying Thunder Tiger.

But Hideki thinks that Tigger might be more appropriate...

The abilities displayed by the Tiger are very similar to those of the Flying Thunder Tiger.

Presumably, he, like Zishu, had used the power of transfiguration to gain abilities from strange beasts.

It's just that he went a step further than Zishu and did not completely transform.

Instead, he merged the Flying Thunder Tiger with himself, becoming a half-orc who possessed the advantages of both creatures.

This made Hideki feel fortunate that the other party was not a dog.

Otherwise, the other party would just have to shout, "Big brother, come and play," and Hideki would definitely turn around and run away.

But even Tiger is not easy to deal with for Hideki.

After all, it is a recognized fact in the ninja world that puppet masters are restrained by speed-type ninjas.

Scorpion's parents who were killed by White Fang are a good example.

Not to mention that Hideki has to prevent the other party from escaping this time, which raises the difficulty to another level.

Fortunately, Hideki also has a way to deal with it. It seems that now is the time to test the effects of those moves...

As for Yinhu, Xiushu's persuasion did not stop him, but instead deepened his desire to run away.

Because if a cautious guy like Kimura Hideki didn't have the confidence to defeat himself, he would definitely not show up openly.

Or maybe he wanted to delay time and wait for the police to arrive and encircle and suppress him.

Whatever the situation, it's not good...

So he didn't even bother to talk to Hideki, he just kicked his legs and shot out at high speed.

However, just as he flew into the air, two floating guns suddenly appeared from behind the trees on both sides in front of him...

Their speed was even faster than before. They quickly connected into a line and cut towards the tiger in mid-air in a cross shape!
This time, Yinhu had no time to adjust his body, he could only grit his teeth and swing his claws towards the chakra line in front of him!

Tsk tsk tsk!

When the two collided, it was difficult to tell who was the winner for a while, and it was even like the collision of metal and iron, creating countless sparks.

However, after a few seconds, the chakra line disappeared on its own.

After all, they are made entirely of chakra and are remotely controlled, so the chakra consumption is not small.

Hideki felt that it was not cost-effective to continue wasting time, so he decisively canceled it.

Anyway, the purpose of blocking the opponent's progress has been achieved.

Seeing Yinhu land on a branch below, Xiushu walked over lightly and said with a smile:

"Senior Yinhu, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" "My true form has come out, why don't we spar a little more."

Yinhu ignored Xiushu and was looking around. He seemed unwilling to give up and was looking for a suitable escape route.

It was a pity that the damn guy Kimura Hideki had already been prepared. He controlled the strange flying puppet to circle around him and blocked his best escape routes.

If he is stopped again this time, Hideki Kimura behind him will definitely not miss this God-given opportunity.

After gnashing his teeth until they made a sound, Yinhu had to turn his gaze to Hideki again.

The puppet master is so disgusting, no wonder he is hated so much...

It seems that there is no way to leave here unless we deal a serious blow to this guy.

But isn't this guy underestimating himself?

The flying puppets are placed on the periphery to prevent him from escaping, so doesn't he have any protection himself?
The puppeteer himself is the biggest weakness of the puppetry system. Will this guy really not guard against this problem?

Or is the Hideki Kimura in front of him a shadow clone?

No, not likely.

Although hiding in the dark is safe, it will not be able to quickly block my escape route, so this should be the real body.

Oh, and there is also breathing technique.

As one of the hot topics in Konoha recently, Yinhu has of course heard of the breathing method.

It is not difficult to guess that this breathing method is Hideki Kimura's attempt to improve the puppeteer's melee combat ability.

It seems that after developing the breathing method, this guy has become quite confident in his close combat skills and feels that it is enough to hold me back temporarily.

Yin Hu couldn't help but let out a sinister laugh.

Because he will let Kimura Hideki know how wrong he is...

Yinhu first bent his knees outward, pretending to break out.

After the floating gun began to intercept, he slightly adjusted the angle and jumped towards the trunk of a big tree. Then he took the opportunity to accumulate strength and flew towards Hideki at a faster speed.

"call--"

Hideki exhaled like an arrow, then took a deep breath.

Just as Yinhu expected, he activated the breathing technique.

However, the breathing method at this time only improved him moderately, and Hideki had a more powerful killer move.

I saw Yinhu coming like lightning, and his right hand with sharp claws stretched out stabbed towards Xiushu's shoulder!

But Xiushu remained calm. He slowly raised his left hand, which was surrounded by a blue glow, and gently pushed it outwards.

He raised his hand seemingly slowly, but in fact it just blocked the tiger's sharp claws.

But no matter how you look at it, this is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. It seems that blood will splatter everywhere in the next moment, and it will be a horrible sight.

At least that's what Yin Hu, who was grinning fiercely on the opposite side, thought.

However, he never expected that his indestructible claws would not be able to penetrate directly after touching the blue light on Hideki's hand, but instead easily deflected outwards.

How can this be! ?
Yinhu was shocked and subconsciously swung out the sharp claws of his left hand.

But Xiushu was prepared. He gently blocked with his right hand, which was also wrapped in a blue glow, and Yinhu's claws deviated outwards again.

But this time Yinhu has already figured out some clues.

The moves performed by Hideki are quite similar to the Hyuga clan's soft fist, both of which release chakra to reduce the force of the opponent's attack.

But compared to the Hyuga clan, Hideki used significantly less chakra, and the feeling was more like slipping than releasing force...

What strange moves did Hideki Kimura invent?

If Hideki knew the other party's guess, he would definitely be very impressed.

Because Yinhu had almost guessed the principle behind his move.

Manipulating silk to make a brocade·the shape of silk·the hands that make thousands of threads.

The inspiration and technique of this move indeed came from the Hyuga clan's soft fist.

It’s just that Hideki didn’t have that much chakra to squander, so he chose to work on the characteristics of chakra.

And the result of his research this time was to make the chakra lines as smooth as silk.

As long as you wrap it around your hand, you can use less chakra to neutralize the enemy's attack power.

Perhaps as a reward for the correct answer, Hideki quickly raised his knee and hit Yinhu's wide-open abdomen...
