The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 229 Hideki's surprising proposal
Hideki scratched his head helplessly:
"Why does it seem like he is making arrangements for his afterlife..."

"Ms. Nono, you don't think I'm a murderer, do you?"

"Unlike those human traffickers, you haven't caused any substantial harm to the orphanage. You've even helped me a lot."

"How could I take your life so easily?"

Nono showed a bitter smile and said:
"You are still too naive and kind."

"It's difficult to protect the children in the orphanage this way."

"Although I cannot explain the method clearly, I have indeed stolen important information from the workshop, but you just don't know it."

"Oh, you mean the ones Jerry gave you."

Hideki snapped his fingers and laughed.

"There's nothing to hide now. It was just a play I put on by controlling Jerry."

Nono's brain went into a state of panic after hearing this, and after a long while he stammered:

"That... that was done by you? Then Jerry..."

"Yes, it was just an ordinary ninja beast."

Hideki said with a hint of regret,

"The real Senior Rat has already died."

Although he had some guesses, Nono couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard the clear answer.

It turns out that not only Tiger, but also Rat had died at Hideki's hands...

I wonder if Lord Danzo will regret his decision after knowing the truth?

Nono smiled bitterly in his heart, and then asked in confusion:

"Since you don't plan to kill me, why do you tell me so much important information?"

"Are you planning to detain me and torture me for information?"

"I'm very sorry that I can't provide you with much useful information."

"Ms. Nono, you worry too much."

Hideki spread his hands and smiled.

"The most popular news anchor in all of Konoha has suddenly disappeared. I'm afraid everyone will come to trouble me every day."

"So I have a small suggestion, which is to continue with the status quo."

"Because even if we get rid of you, Danzo will just send in new spies or take more drastic actions."

"What I need most now is time. I don't have the time to continue wasting time with that guy."

"You should have fully seen the conditions of the orphanage and the workshop."

"The power of chakra can not only be used for killing, but also can be used in production in conjunction with mechanical and sealing techniques."

"In this way, even children who have not yet grown up can easily support themselves through labor."

"And my lifelong ideal is to spread these techniques and concepts throughout the ninja world and improve everyone's life."

"Ms. Nono, you are willing to expose your identity to save the children, which shows that you are a good person at heart."

"That's why I'm telling you everything, hoping you can lend me your strength."

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to completely betray Danzo."

"All that guy wanted was my skills."

"As long as you help me reveal some less important techniques to him from time to time, it should be able to buy me a lot of time."

"This way you can get your job done and continue to stay in the orphanage."

Nono opened her mouth slightly, completely stunned by Hideki's ideals and suggestions.

She has been traveling in the ninja world for many years and knows how bad the situation is everywhere.

So when they discovered that there was such a paradise in Konoha, they were particularly reluctant to destroy it.

But Hideki's wish is to turn the entire ninja world into such a paradise!
How is this possible?
Nono really wanted to retort.

But her heart was leaping with excitement because of Hideki's words, and she was eager to try.

And Hideki's proposal is also very feasible.

As long as the operation is done properly, two to three years should be enough to deal with Danzo.

And during this period she can also live the life she wants.

But no matter how nicely it is said, this is obviously a blatant betrayal of the roots.

The habit she had developed from obeying Lord Danzo's orders over the years still made it difficult for her to make up her mind.

Perhaps compared to before in the cell, now is the time for her to truly make a choice between the two options.

Just when Nono was struggling with his conscience and didn't know what to do.

Atla, who had already finished his pizza, couldn't wait to run over and urge him:

"Brother Hideki, aren't you guys done talking yet? We're still waiting for dinner."

With Hideki's testimony, Atla believed Nono again, so he took her hand as usual and said:

"Sister Nono, the food won't taste good if it gets cold. Let's go home together as soon as possible."

go home……

As these words echoed in Nono's ears, a warm feeling surged into Nono's heart.

She suddenly made up her mind, held Atra's hand tightly and smiled:

"Well, let's go home."

...With the return of the children and the surrender of Yinhu, the struggle between the orphanage and the human traffickers finally came to an end.

However, its aftermath did not dissipate immediately and continued to affect Konoha inside and outside.

First of all, due to Yinhu’s death, the entire loosely structured human trafficking organization centered around him quickly collapsed.

Even his most trusted man with gold-rimmed glasses was caught by the police force who were closing in because he was delayed by Nono.

Under the influence of the Sharingan illusion, he confessed everything, even the incident when he secretly watched the widow taking a bath when he was a child, and of course the information about the organization was no exception.

Afterwards, the police department followed the clues and successively destroyed a number of human traffickers' dens including the base camp, rescuing many children, which really earned them a lot of reputation.

As for Hideki, although he had the help of the police department, the fact that he was able to destroy a difficult organization also made everyone look at him with a higher regard and acknowledge the existence of the small force of Qidian Orphanage.

……

Late at night, in a town somewhere around Konoha, in a secret human trafficking base.

Several human traffickers were hurriedly packing up their valuables, preparing to escape under the cover of night.

They had not been able to contact them online for several days, and feeling that the situation was not good, they finally decided to stay out of the spotlight.

But just as they put on their bags and walked out of the room, they saw four dark figures in the yard, waiting for a long time...

They took a closer look in the moonlight and were immediately frightened by each other's appearance:

"Ghost!"

"It's not a ghost, it's a Ninja Turtles!"

The four of them pressed the switches of their eye masks, and their eyes suddenly began to glow, illuminating each other's bodies.

But this probably only has a side effect.

The kappa monster with glowing eyes and a strange and terrifying appearance scared the human traffickers so much that they rolled their eyes and fainted.

“It’s really not challenging.”

Asuma sighed.

"I'm a little tired of everyone seeing us like this lately."

At this moment, a mouse walked out of the shadows, and then Hideki's voice sounded:

"Just right when you're tired of it."

"Including this place, we have traveled all around Konoha."

"And I've received news that the main body has dealt with their leader and rescued the children. The matter has finally come to an end."

"So we can also finish the mission here and go back to Konoha."

Then Hideki laughed again:

"And after this incident, I guess there won't be many kidnapping cases around Konoha for a long time."

"So if you wish, I can let Konoha News announce your identities."

"It's all thanks to you that we were able to find the enemy leader so quickly this time."

"So it's only right that you let everyone know about your contributions and enjoy the treatment of heroes."

A hero's treatment?

Which boy doesn’t have a dream of being a hero?
The four of them didn't expect that their dreams would come true so soon. They couldn't help but fantasize about the treatment they would receive after returning to the village.

However, Akai was the first to react, scratched his head and asked:
"But teacher, in this way, won't everyone know that the legend of the Ninja Turtles is fake?"

The other three were slightly stunned when they heard this, and then they reacted.

The four of them exchanged glances and reached a consensus. Asuma, as the representative, said:
"No thanks, teacher."

"Let the Ninja Turtles become a true legend."

Hideki was not surprised by this and nodded with satisfaction using Jerry's body.

Don't be fooled by the four of them laughing and joking, but during this journey they have seen a lot of the dark side of the ninja world and have matured a lot.

In order to minimize the occurrence of kidnapping incidents, they will voluntarily give up the glory under the sun and become unsung heroes in the dark.

In this way, the legend of the Ninja Turtles can continue to be passed down and deter those bad people with evil intentions.

However, Hideki certainly would not be stingy with his reward, and he continued:

"Since you said so, I won't force it."

"And don't worry, I will convert your contributions into reward points. I will definitely not let you down."

The four of them cheered immediately:
"Kawabanga!"

Then Hideki said:
"Especially Asuma, I have good news for you."

"In view of your contribution, the original penalty of working during the holidays has now been cancelled."

Hideki originally wanted Asuma to work in the factory for a month to experience the sufferings of life.

But he had obviously exceeded his mission on this recent journey, so there was no need to do so again.

Asma was of course overjoyed:

"That's great! Now I can finally have a good time for a few days when I get back!"

Unexpectedly, Jerry, who was controlled by Hideki, said with a strange expression:

"Unfortunately that's not possible."

"Haven't you realized that when you return, it will be the day for the training camp to begin?"

The four of them heard this and realized that their vacation had somehow already passed halfway. They were all dumbfounded...
