The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 232 Landing Plan
Next to the orphanage training ground.

Hideki and Nono were sitting at a stone table, drinking tea and exchanging their experiences in medical ninjutsu.

"I see……"

Nono took a sip of black tea and muttered to himself,

"Through the meridian spinning method, the healing chakra and ordinary chakra of different meridian lines are twisted together..."

"This way you can get a chakra thread that is highly manipulable and has healing abilities."

"Using it to sew up ordinary wounds, the effect should not be much worse than the Palm Immortal Technique, and it does not require such precise chakra control..."

Nono's eyes became brighter and brighter as he spoke, with a look of admiration on his face.

"If it can be popularized, it will definitely greatly lower the threshold for becoming a qualified medical ninja."

"Lady Tsunade's dream of equipping every team with a medical ninja may actually be realized..."

"That's right in theory."

Hideki spread his hands and smiled.
"It's a pity that this technique is not yet completely complete."

"After all, I don't have much knowledge and experience in medical ninjutsu, so I can only use this suture healing technique to treat ordinary external injuries at best."

"For more complicated injuries or even internal organ damage, I have no way to deal with them for now."

At this point, Hideki looked at Nono and said,
"So if you are interested, Miss Nono, you might as well perfect it in your spare time and see if you can summarize a set of operating procedures that ordinary medical ninjas can also perform."

"I?"

Nono's eyes widened.

She didn't expect that Hideki would actually throw such an important task to her.

Hideki nodded and said:

"Yes, as you said, this technique has great potential."

"It's a pity that I can't handle everything at once. Then you, who have superb medical ninjutsu skills, are the best candidate."

"And if you can really perfect it, it will prove that you are just as valuable as a medical ninja as you are as a spy."

"Then I will have the confidence to convince the Hokage in the future and let you be completely free..."

When Nono heard this, he was deeply moved.

This was because she knew that as long as Hideki handed this technique over to the village, there would surely be many medical ninjas who were better than her who would be able to complete it.

Hideki gave this task to himself mainly to help her regain her freedom.

Developing medical ninjutsu that can save lives and heal the wounded, and using it to break free from Danzo's control, these are indeed what Nono urgently wants.

But even though he was somewhat tempted, Nono shook his head regretfully:

"Thank you for your kindness, but I still have to refuse."

"Because if Danzo-sama forcibly demands this information, I won't be able to refuse him..."

Hideki understood Nono's concerns.

He had inquired before that as a top spy, Nono might go in and out of places with advanced perception arrays during missions.

In order to avoid exposing her identity as a spy, she did not have any curse seals on her body like ordinary Root ninjas.

This is probably also the important reason why Nono was able to temporarily break free from Danzo's control in the original work.

However, the training of Root Ninja also includes many obedience training items, which left a deep impression on her mind.

Even though she has been on missions outside for many years and has gradually recovered her human emotions, it is still difficult for her to completely disobey Danzo's orders now.

However, Hideki already knew this and didn’t care. Instead, he smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter. Just give it to him if he wants."

"Anyway, this jutsu will be turned over to Konoha after it's completed, so Danzo will get it sooner or later."

“And here at the orphanage, technology will continue to improve.”

"The rapid technological innovation cannot be kept up with by simply stealing things."

Perhaps it was because the previous test of the telepathic technique was very successful that Xiushu gained a little more confidence and spoke more convincingly.

Nono was infected by Hideki's confidence, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly nodded and said:

"Then I'll give it a try. Thank you, Hideki."

Poor Nono... After being an orphanage caregiver, news anchor, double agent, and training doctor, she was outsourced by Hideki to a job as a medical ninjutsu researcher.

In the end, she still had to thank Hideki...

About half an hour later, Matt Dai came back carrying a stone as big as a millstone.

Hideki looked at the big word "turtle" on the stone and felt a little amused.

He placed the stone there just for fun, but he didn't expect that Senior Dai would actually carry it back.

Another full hour passed before Asma and the others ran back panting, each holding a stone the size of a washbasin.

"Teacher Hideki, you didn't tell me the size of the stones would be so different!"

After putting the stone down, Obito complained with a resentful look on his face.

Hideki smiled and said:
"I also didn't say the stone was only the size of a fist."

"In fact, there are so many small stones next to the big tree. You can choose to take them back."

Upon hearing this, the children looked at each other with helplessness on their faces.

Teacher, you mentioned before that the number of stones is not sure if it is enough.

How could they, who are so far ahead, have the nerve to take away the small stones and leave these big stones for everyone else?
Not long after, most of the Genin, as well as students with good talents like Genma and Inuzuka Hitomi, ran back exhausted.

But this time they were holding fist-sized stones, so they were able to shorten the distance between them and Obito and the others.

And Hideki also started counting in front of the finish line.

"…Thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two."

After waiting for a while, seeing that the other children had not returned, Hideki announced:
"Thirty-two people, that's just the right number. You will be assigned to the Blastoise team. Congratulations."

However, most of the little ninjas were still lying on the ground gasping for breath and had no energy to celebrate.

After a while, the remaining children like Nohara Rin, Yuhi Kurenai and others also ran back one after another.

It's just that their condition was even worse. They were all sweating profusely, and once they crossed the finish line, both men and women immediately fell to the ground, letting out sounds of relief.

The children who participated in the training camp were actually quite talented, so even the last child completed the test while crying.

However, this also led many children to have a question:
"Teacher, didn't you say there weren't enough stones? How come everyone got one in the end?"

They were worried about being eliminated, so they hurried to get under the big tree...

Hideki spread his hands and smiled:
"You heard me wrong. I just said I couldn't remember whether there were enough stones. I didn't say it was definitely not enough."

"But this can just inspire your greatest potential, so it can be considered a blessing in disguise."

Obito and the others shouted in their hearts:
"Don't be fooled, Mr. Hideki must have done this on purpose!"

Of course, Hideki didn't know what they were thinking. Seeing that the children had finally arrived, he divided them into two groups, Squirtle and Squirtle, and then said:

"Now that we have formed groups, let's move on to the next step and officially begin learning the breathing method."

"Students who come back late don't have to worry. I will give you one-on-one guidance at the beginning of this training, and it will be in the order of test scores. You will also have plenty of rest time."

"Before that, I have to introduce another function of the training suit to everyone..."

"Speaking of which, this is actually the real purpose of this training suit - the inner vision function."

"All you have to do is press the blue button on your belt to activate this function."

Although Hideki said this, no student rashly pressed the button.

Apparently the previous bondage play had taught them a painful lesson...

Where has the most basic trust between people gone?
Seeing this, Hideki said with a bit of a smile:

"Don't worry, the trap is not here this time."

The little ninjas were suddenly confused.

Teacher, are you completely done with pretending?

Isn't this clearly telling them that there is a trap behind this?
Even during class, he did not forget to set up various traps to test students...

Is this the self-cultivation of a puppeteer?

Obito and the others noticed everyone's thoughts and shook their heads in their hearts:
"No, no, no, this is just Mr. Hideki's bad taste..."
