The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 230 Training begins

It is already the beginning of February.

Just as Hideki said, when Asuma and the others returned to Konoha, the holiday training for the breathing method had just begun.

Early in the morning, in the newly built training ground near the orphanage.

Hideki was standing on a dirt platform, smiling as he introduced himself to the nearly 100 children in the audience:

"Hello everyone, my name is Kimura Hideki, and I'm the person in charge of this holiday training activity."

"If you have any questions, you can always come to me for consultation..."

In fact, he is now quite famous in school, and there should be no child who doesn't know him.

The reason why Hideki had to introduce himself was because the participants in this training camp included not only students from the ninja school, but also some Genin who graduated in recent years.

After all, the biggest advantage of breathing techniques now is that they can allow children whose meridian systems have not yet fully developed to obtain chakra amounts beyond their age limits.

In addition to the students of the ninja school, the Genin who graduated in recent years certainly also meet the requirements and can gain considerable improvements through breathing techniques.

Even in the opinion of the Sandaime and his men, compared to the ninja students who are still studying in school, they who have already started working and mastered the breathing method can bring an immediate improvement to Konoha's strength.

However, the Genin usually have to undertake various jobs and tasks, so they can only be trained in batches like this.

As the first batch of Genin to receive training, they are of course elites who have been carefully selected.

So Hideki also saw some familiar-looking guys in there.

For example, Inahori from the Uchiha clan, who was later chosen by Minato as the Hokage's bodyguard, and Yamashiro Aoba, who didn't appear much but was very impressive.

Of course, there is also Might Guy, who is doing squats excitedly and making people around him retreat three meters away.

Hideki introduced to everyone:

"This is Mr. Might Dai, who is responsible for guiding you in breathing techniques and physical training."

"Oh! Let's sweat out our youth together!"

Matt Day greeted everyone passionately, but unfortunately everyone's response was lukewarm.

Just like when they signed up before, everyone had doubts about the coaching skills of this ten-thousand-year-old Genin.

But perhaps because of the warnings from their families, even the most unruly ninja children did not protest against this.

So the well-liked scenes of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, and pretending to be cool and getting slapped in the face did not happen, which made Hideki, who loves watching dramas, a little disappointed.

Then Hideki introduced another teacher:

"This is Nono-sensei. She has considerable attainments in medical ninjutsu and will be in charge of managing everyone's health."

Nono stepped forward, smiling and waving to everyone, but there seemed to be a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Obviously, she didn't expect that she would have such an additional job just by agreeing to Hideki's proposal to maintain the status quo and become a double agent.

You know, Danzo is also coveting the breathing method, and he will definitely not let go of this opportunity. I don’t know how Hideki will deal with him later...

At this time, a warm cheer had erupted in the training ground and did not stop for a long time, forming a sharp contrast with the previous cold scene.

There is no way around it. In Konoha, where entertainment activities are scarce, even the Konoha News, which contains quite serious content, is deeply loved by the villagers, young and old, men and women.

Therefore, Nono, who is in charge of the morning news, is also very popular in the village.

With her joining, the children immediately became full of energy as if they were injected with chicken blood.

This was of course within Hideki's expectations.

"It seems that Nono-sensei is quite popular."

"But don't get yourself hurt on purpose just to get in touch with her."

After teasing for a while, Hideki struck again while the iron was hot:
"Let's get back to the point, then let's get to the point."

"First, I have to ask everyone to change into the training clothes exclusive to the Kame-senryu..."

Unlike before, this time there were so many people talking that Hideki couldn't clearly explain the necessity of this tortoise shell training suit. So he expected that everyone might be more resistant and had prepared a new trick... No, a new excuse.

But unexpectedly, the tortoise shell training suit was more popular than he had imagined.

Hideki was a little confused at first.

It wasn't until he saw the younger kids coming out of the locker room and playing the game of Ninja Turtles beating human traffickers that he suddenly realized what was going on.

Apparently, with the high density of Konoha news broadcasts, the legend of the Ninja Turtles has also become a trend.

As the patron saints of children, they are incredibly popular among children.

So children can easily put it on as long as they pretend to be COS Ninja Turtles.

Of course, this only applies to boys.

Even with the blessing of Ninja Turtles, this tights and turtle shell set is still a little hard for girls to accept.

But Hideki was no longer worried.

Because the line between normal and abnormal is actually quite blurred.

As the number of kids wearing tortoise-shell tights on the training grounds increased, girls wearing regular clothes began to feel more and more uncomfortable.

Seeing that all the cars are driving in the wrong direction, I guess few people can be sure that they are not going the wrong way.

Under the pressure of herd mentality, they finally joined the big family of tights.

Anyway, if everyone is embarrassed, it means no one is embarrassed.

After Hideki's evil taste was fully satisfied, he began to announce:

"This time, our training camp will combine the learning of breathing techniques with physical exercise to promote each other."

"And this kind of exercise needs to push your body to its limits to achieve the greatest effect."

"So in order to facilitate the arrangement of training programs, we will first conduct a small physical ability test, and then divide them into groups based on the results."

"Everyone will be divided into three groups: Squirtle, Squirtle, and Blastoise."

“Different groups will then do workouts of varying intensities.”

When the children heard this, they couldn't help but rub their hands and were eager to try it out.

Especially those Genin who have already graduated, they are eager to show off their skills in front of their juniors and demonstrate the improvements they have gained from various tasks.

Hideki was very satisfied with everyone's enthusiasm, and then smiled and said:
"The test method is very simple..."

"I think everyone has seen that particularly tall tree in the western forest."

As he spoke, Hideki took out a fist-sized stone and showed it to everyone, with a big "turtle" character written on it.

"I have placed quite a few of these stones under a big tree about ten kilometers from here."

"And your mission is to go there, get a piece, and then return here."

"And the order in which you return will determine the grouping."

Many children are already impatient after hearing this.

Hideki pressed his hands again and said with a smile:

"Everyone, hold on, I haven't finished yet."

"Because this test tests everyone's physical limits, there is a special restriction."

"And this restriction function has been integrated into your training uniforms. Just inject chakra into the tortoise shell behind you and press the red switch on the belt to activate it..."

The children didn't understand why, but they did it subconsciously.

Then the next moment, they all suddenly stood up straight, and then fell straight to the ground, completely unable to move...
