The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 265: The Art of Shelter
The so-called shelter technique is actually a set of preventive measures designed by Hideki to deal with the situation of being hit by the tailed beast cannon.

But before that, the two still had a big problem to solve.

Even if they were lucky enough to dodge the attack of the Tailed Beast Ball this time, it would still consume a large amount of chakra.

After that, facing the next Tailed Beast Ball or the pursuit of the Iwagakure ninja, it would probably be difficult to hold on.

It is obviously not a wise move to fight a war of attrition with a side that has a Jinchūriki.

So there is only one way left, which is to fake death and escape.

And now is the time to use the Shadow Clone Technique, the hardworking model...

It just so happened that the power of the Tailed Beast Ball was so incredible that it was impossible for any corpses to be left behind.

Therefore, even if it is just a shadow clone, there is no difference from the original body.

Moreover, as long as the enemy can be deceived, the shadow clone far away from the main body can also keep the main body away from the center of the explosion, reducing the risk.

However, to achieve this, one must first deceive the Five-Tails Jinchuriki's chakra perception ability.

So Hideki and Minato used the Shadow Clone Technique under the cover of the tree, and then quickly carried out a very risky action...

That is to use up all the chakra, not leaving any chakra in the body.

Because success depends on perception, and failure also depends on perception.

Ninjas who possess the ability to sense chakra tend to have an unusual amount of trust in it.

Once Hideki and Minato have exhausted the chakra in their meridians and do not continue to refine new chakra...

Then they would be as if invisible in Han's perception.

The shadow clones that had just been split off became their perfect substitutes, responsible for attracting firepower and keeping the explosion away from the main body.

In fact, this requires the ninja to have very good control in order to squeeze out every bit of chakra in the body, but this certainly does not pose a problem for Hideki and Minato.

But as I just said, this action is quite risky.

Without the chakra that gives life to the body, ninjas become no different from ordinary people.

Even if the shadow clones lead the Tailed Beast Ball to a distant place, the aftermath of the explosion would most likely kill them.

And this is when Hideki's shelter technique comes into play.

In fact, it is called ninjutsu, but its main body is the small shelter that Hideki had sealed with a sealing scroll a long time ago.

It was designed based on the principle of the nuclear bomb shelter that Hideki had heard about in his previous life. The outer layer is made of solid materials, and the middle is filled with various materials to prevent shock, sound waves, poison gas, and excessively cold or overheated external environments.

And just in case, Hideki and Minato used their running out of chakra to perform earth escape, dug a deep vertical shaft, and placed the small shelter inside.

Even though Hideki and Minato were weak at the moment, they would be absolutely safe as long as they hid inside.

And what happened next was just as Hideki had expected...

The Five-Tails Jinchuriki shot the Tailed Beast Ball at the shadow clones that the two men used to lure the enemy.

Their main bodies safely stayed in the shelter, enduring the explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball and possible searches by the enemy.

The shelter is equipped with oxygen tanks, food and even playing cards and toys, so they can hide safely in it for several hours, recuperate and then break out of the ground.

Without the enemy's obstruction, the two successfully arrived at the evacuation point that Hideki mentioned.

The so-called evacuation point was actually the underground water vein that Hideki had found while exploring the surrounding environment.

Hideki first used earth escape to dig a vertical shaft, and then used his handicraft talent to casually build a small boat with the trees next to him and threw it into the well.

As long as they go downstream, they can easily break through the enemy's possible blockade and return to Konoha's sphere of influence.

The evacuation point that Hideki had asked other teammates to go to was actually an underground water vein like this that was suitable for escaping.

Needless to say, at daybreak, the two of them successfully returned by boat and arrived at the meeting point agreed upon with their teammates.

There Hideki soon met Inuzuka Jaw, and the Konoha ninja team that came to support him.

At this point, the two were finally out of danger, and this thrilling jonin examination came to an end...

"Senior Jaw, how is Dingzuo doing?"

"Has Hizashi-senpai come back?"

Hideki asked once he saw Inuzuka Jaw.

"Hizashi has returned, but he seemed to be looking for you guys just now, so he might have missed you."

As he spoke, Inuzuka Jaw's face was filled with sorrow.
"As for Ding Zuo, he has gone..." "He has gone to the medical team at the front line for treatment, but he should be fine."

Hideki clenched his fists and resisted the urge to punch Jaw-senpai.

Why are you panting when you talk?
And why does he look so sad?

He almost thought that he, the little butterfly, had accidentally fanned the unborn Choji to death...

Then Inuzuka Jaw explained:
"Damn it, I heard there are several beautiful female medical ninjas there, I want to go over there and be taken care of by them..."

"It's not too late now, how about I break a few ribs for you."

Hideki suggested kindly.

In response, Inuzuka Jaw simply rolled his eyes and gave him a middle finger.

Then Minato said:

“Although Iwagakure and the others probably thought we were dead, the information that I mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique was leaked after all.

"So I have to go ahead and talk to Master Jiraiya to see how to change the battle plan."

Hideki originally wanted to go with him to see if he could have a historic meeting with Jiraiya, whom he had liked very much in his previous life.

However, he really didn't want to take a ride on the Flying Thunder God for the time being, so he had to say goodbye to Minato and wait for Hizashi's return.

However, what Hideki didn't know was that Hizashi was actually squatting on a distant mountain, aiming at him with the air cannon he gave her...

……

At this time, Hizashi's mind was in a mess and he was extremely shocked.

Because he never expected that Hideki could come back alive.

After he helped Hideki stop the Five-Tails, he ran to the nearest evacuation point for evacuation, so he didn't know what happened afterwards.

But he could easily detect the earth-shattering Tailed Beast Ball even without opening his Byakugan.

He really couldn't imagine how Hideki survived such an attack, so he subconsciously thought that Hideki was dead.

This made him feel a lot more relaxed, but at the same time he felt empty inside, as if he had missed the opportunity to escape his own fate.

Seeing that Hideki actually survived the Tailed Beast Ball, he was of course extremely shocked, and his heart was conflicted again.

Because when he returns, he will have to report what happened here truthfully.

Those ninja tools that would lower the status of the Hyuga clan, coupled with his ability to escape from the hands of the Jinchūriki, would certainly make Hideki a threat that the Hyuga clan could not ignore.

In this case, the Hyuga clan only has two options...

Either they give in to Hideki Kimura and establish a cooperative relationship with him like the Ministry of Police did recently.

Even if those ninja tools become popular, the Byakugan combined with Hideki's various novel ninja tools should be able to give the Hyuga clan new vitality.

Otherwise... just to prevent the mass production of those ninja tools and Hideki from fully growing up, even if it means Konoha will lose a talent, we must eliminate the trouble in the future...

Although it seems that the former is more beneficial to the development of the Hyuga clan.

But my father, who has always been conservative and proud of the reputation of the Hyuga clan, and whose life is coming to an end, will probably choose the latter, more stable path...

But is this really a good thing?

As a witness to Hideki's various miracles, Hiashi was almost conquered by Hideki.

No wonder the Hokage attaches so much importance to it.

As long as he does not die halfway, Hideki Kimura is destined to change Konoha and even the existence of the ninja world.

The question is what role will the Hyuga clan play in this process?
Suddenly Hizashi discovered that as a member of a branch family, he now had the power to decide the future of the Hyuga clan.

Telling the truth or keeping it secret will change the future of the Hyuga clan, Konoha and even the ninja world.

Whoosh!
Suddenly an early bird flew up from the forest and started a new day.

Hiashi watched the bird leave, and at the same time, he could clearly see in the bird's nest that the bird was in, there were several crying young birds waiting to be fed...

Although it was just an ordinary scene, Hizashi suddenly made up his mind.

A moment later, he arrived at the temporary camp built by the Konoha ninjas, and said as soon as he saw Hideki:

"Kimura Hideki, please compete with me in soft fist."
