The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 253 Melee Puppet Master
However, at the moment when the knife was swung down, Hinata Gan's Byakugan saw that the chakra lines suddenly became thicker, and it was obvious that more chakra was infused into them...

He had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but it was too late to change his tactics.

Immediately after the knife touched the chakra line, there was a sticky and elastic touch...

So not only was he unable to cut them in half, but his palms were stuck tightly to the chakra threads and he couldn't move.

"do you know?"

Hideki's voice suddenly sounded,

"There are actually some spiders in the world that are quite smart and can work together to weave a large web to hunt together."

“And this is actually the inspiration and actual use of my Yin-Yang Dance.”

"Because we only need to solve the problem of the melee combat ability of the puppet and the main body."

"Then the chakra line that can connect the two at close range will turn the puppeteer's biggest weakness into his strongest weapon..."

It was a pity that they simply could not hear Hideki's kind explanation.

Hinata Gan was trying every way to break free from the chakra line, but he got stuck deeper and deeper.

Seeing this, the other three also launched a strong attack, trying to buy time for Hinata Gan.

However, Hideki had already roughly figured out their soft boxing techniques and was in no mood to continue sparring with them.

As expected, people like Neji who can develop the main family moves on their own are just exceptions.

Normal Hyuga branch ninjas can only master ordinary soft fists, and their moves are unexpectedly monotonous.

Hideki and his puppet clone acted at the same time, and their four hands worked together to weave a huge sticky spider web, sticking to each other between punches and kicks.

The four of them were already struggling to cope with Hideki and his puppet's combined hard and soft boxing techniques.

Now, with the addition of a spider web that is both impossible to hit and difficult to avoid, it is becoming even more difficult to cope with.

Finally they found a solution.

It is to cover the body with chakra, and the moment the spider web sticks to it, that part of the chakra will be cut off.

It was a pity that most of their limbs were entangled in spider silk and it was too late to save them.

More importantly, after Hideki used a series of special moves such as Flash Step, Yin-Yang Dance, and Thousand Threads Hand, they realized the gap between the two sides.

Especially the dance of yin and yang.

It turns out that the puppet, the main body and the chakra line are all deadly moves that can be used for both offense and defense, leaving no room for anyone to take advantage of.

The three can even cooperate with each other to unleash even more powerful power.

To a certain extent, this has solved several weaknesses that have plagued the Puppet Master for many years.

And Hideki Kimura, who has achieved this, has undoubtedly opened up a unique path called melee puppeteer.

Although it is estimated that it will not be popularized, after the breathing method, there is also such a breakthrough in the puppetry of the profession...

A genius like this is beyond their ability to handle...

The most obvious evidence is that there are many mechanisms hidden inside the puppet, but not even one of them has been used just now.

So perhaps after the failed sneak attack at the beginning, they no longer had any chance of winning...

……

A moment later, Gan Wen, Cui Shan and the other three were tied up tightly by Xiu Shu with the tough hungry ghost vine.

Once they try to use chakra to escape, the vines will quickly tighten, which will definitely not be pleasant.

"It seems like you didn't put the stars on your body..."

"Could it be hidden somewhere in advance?"

After Hideki searched with the chakra line again, he realized the troublesome problem.

He said with a bit of helplessness:

"If you can hand it over and promise not to attack me again, I can set you free."

"With your white eyes, there should still be hope of gathering ten stars in the next period of time."

Hinata Gan judged that Hideki was not lying by observing his micro-expressions, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Naive? No, it's more about confidence.

Kimura Hideki is confident that even if they breach the contract, he can still defeat them again...

Although this was obviously blatant contempt, after seeing the gap between the two sides, the four people really couldn't feel any anger.

But for this win-win suggestion, Hinata Gan could only shake his head and said:

"In order to prevent this situation from happening, we have already destroyed all the stars..."

Hideki lost interest instantly after hearing that.

On the one hand, he could tell that the other party was not lying, and that the fight was in vain. But more importantly, Hideki suddenly realized that the other party came to participate in this jonin exam just for him.

The Hyuga clan may not have intended to allow them to be promoted from the beginning.

As a branch family, they probably can't decide for themselves whether to be promoted or not...

Just like they all have very good talents, but can only use the most basic soft fist...

No wonder it is easy for the Hyuga clan to produce a jonin, but it is difficult to produce a Kage-level strongman.

Such waste of resources really makes Hideki feel bad for them.

It’s a pity that he can’t change anything now, so he doesn’t have the intention to feed these caged birds with chicken soup.

Before, he thought that he would be able to collect all the stars directly after this fight, so he was interested in observing their soft boxing and trying out his new moves.

Now that there is no profit to be made, he is too lazy to waste words with them.

After throwing them onto the tree and picking out the star from the trunk, Hideki walked towards the tower step by step.

The four members of the Hyuga clan were the only ones left, watching his rapidly disappearing figure, with mixed feelings in their hearts...

……

The time is almost twelve o'clock.

At the entrance of the tower in the Death Forest, several candidates who passed the exam have appeared.

Akimichi Choza and Inuzuka Jaw are also among them.

At this moment, the examiner Yuhi Shinku suddenly appeared.

After taking a quick look around, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw that Hideki Kimura was nowhere to be seen.

In recent months, his daughter Yuhikuren has been bragging about the magic of her teacher Hideki, which makes him feel a little jealous.

Now it seems that guy is not omnipotent.

After all, strength is respected in the ninja world.

No matter how good one's talent for invention is, if one cannot turn it into one's own strength, then it will ultimately be of little use.

It seems that Mr. Hideki is still too young. It is too early for him to take the jonin examination...

Thinking of this, Yuhi Shinku took out a pocket watch. Seeing that it was already twelve o'clock, she was about to announce the end of the assessment.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the tower, and it was Hideki himself.

It wasn't that he deliberately made his debut last.

However, Hideki had consumed a lot of chakra in the battle with the Hyuga Four, so in order to prepare for the upcoming exam, he could only save chakra.

So he didn't look for anyone to snatch it, nor did he dare to use large-scale perception ninjutsu. He spent a lot of time collecting all the stars and was almost too late.

That being said, the Hyuga clan’s conspiracy almost succeeded.

"Cough cough cough..."

Xihi Shinku was slapped in the face, but she just looked at Hideki deeply, then coughed a few times and announced calmly:

"Time is up. Congratulations on passing your first test."

"I believe you all realize that the point of the first exam is to test your personal abilities."

"And the second test will test your collaboration skills."

"After all, personal ability has its limits. Whether you can quickly form cooperation with other ninjas and bring out the strength of one plus one greater than two is also an important quality for becoming a jonin."

"The assessment method is very simple. You will draw lots again and form a temporary team to complete an A-level task..."

"And each team will be equipped with a Jonin, but he will only serve as an examiner and will not interfere with your mission..."

After saying that, Yuhi Shinku took out a box and asked everyone to start drawing lots.

Hideki and the others naturally had no objection, and they all stepped forward one by one to draw lots.

After the draw, as soon as everyone reported their numbers, Hideki was pleasantly surprised to find out some good news.

It was him, Ding Zuo, and Senior Jaw who all drew number one and were assigned to the first team.

This is sure!

With teammates like this, I guess I can finish the exam just by slacking off...

Hideki, Choza, and Inuzuka Jaw all looked at the other two with a smile on their faces, and they all had the same thought in their minds...

But Hideki soon stopped laughing.

Because Yuhi Shinku then announced the names of each group of examiners:

"The examiner of the first team - Hyuga Hizashi..."
