The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 286 Kaio-ken Training Method
Although the name Kaio-ken was the product of a sudden inspiration, Hideki's idea came from the heart.

He sighed and continued to explain:

"Because this Kaio-ken is quite risky for you who haven't grown up yet."

"It's like a double-edged sword, although it allows you to realize the full potential of your body."

"But if you get carried away in battle and use strength beyond your physical limits, the consequences will be disastrous."

"If Konoha wasn't in danger right now and you might have to go to the battlefield at any time, I wouldn't let you learn such a dangerous move so soon."

"Although Senior Dai's philosophy of burning everything to protect important things cannot be said to be wrong."

"But the teacher hopes that you can use this technique to protect yourself, cherish the body given by your parents, and don't squander it."

"Even if you really reach a point where you have no choice but to sacrifice your life to uphold the Way of Ninja, a healthy and intact body will be able to provide you with greater assistance."

"So the name Kaio-ken is a constant reminder for you to remember to be the master of your own body and even your mind, and not to cross the line easily."

Unfortunately, Kai, who had not experienced much, could not fully understand Hideki's good intentions, and nodded with shining eyes:

"Teacher Hideki, I will be careful. Please teach me the Kaio-ken!"

Hideki smiled helplessly, but he didn't expect that just a few words from him would change Kai's mind, so he continued:

"Akai, are you sure?"

"To be honest, Teacher, I am actually developing a method of practicing in an illusion."

"It allows you to practice Kaio-ken in a fantasy world without affecting your real body. It is very safe to practice."

"But it may take some time to develop it."

"If you want to learn Kaio-ken now, you'll have to use a thankless method..."

"In fact, when I was researching how to teach Kaio-ken, I also tried other methods and even made a prototype."

Hideki smiled bitterly and said,

"That is a set of equipment similar to the Kame-sen-ryu training suit, which can accurately detect various conditions of the human body."

"Once the user uses the Kaio-ken to exert excessive force that would harm the body, this equipment will instantly activate the binding technique and forcibly suppress that force."

"In other words, I first use the Kaio-ken to remove the subconscious body limiter, and then use this training suit to set a higher upper limit for the body, a limiter that is truly close to the body's limit."

"This method is indeed feasible in theory. The key lies in achieving high-precision monitoring and lightning-fast activation speed of the binding technique to ensure the safety of the user."

"So this set of equipment can't just be made with rune pieces. It must be made with precious chakra conducting materials, which makes it hard to popularize it."

"And in order to make the user clearly aware of the physical limits, and to encourage the subconscious to form new limiter standards..."

"I tried a lot of things and finally chose to stimulate the body through electric shocks."

“Although it won’t hurt your body, it will definitely be very uncomfortable, otherwise it will have no effect.”

"I remember that when you and Obito played the Ninja Turtles, you also tried the feeling of being electrocuted by weapons. You should have experienced it well."

"Even so, Akai, are you still willing to try?"

When Kai heard this, he couldn't help but recall the experience of activating the electric shock function of the weapon when he was playing with Obito and the others...

The experience of having his body instantly paralyzed, falling to the ground and shivering, and possibly losing control of his bowels and bladder if he wasn't careful, made him shudder and want to back out.

However, the next moment, the look that Kakashi had just given him appeared in Akai's mind.

The disappointment hidden in the indifference made Akai feel extremely painful just by thinking about it.

"Akai, this is the last time I'll play with you..." "You should find an opponent who is more suitable for your level..."

No, I won't give up!
Never give up is the motto of my youth!
Even if I have to keep pestering you, I will make you take back what you said, Kakashi!
Kai muttered to himself, then looked up at Hideki and said seriously:

"Teacher Hideki, please lend me your training clothes."

"After the match just now, I have clearly realized the gap between myself and the genius."

"If I want to keep up with them, I have to be aware enough to know that the early bird catches the worm."

"So no matter how hard the training is, I will never back down!"

As he said this, Akai smiled with relief and said,

"It's just right this way. I don't think it's suitable for me to practice through illusions. I probably won't get the point."

"For a fool like me, I have to use the old-fashioned method and rely on my body to remember the correct answers."

Hideki showed a gratified expression, then reached out and touched Kai's kappa head and said:
"Since you said so, Akai, then let's do as you wish."

"But I still have to make some adjustments to the training suit based on your body shape and physical condition. It will probably take a day or two."

Although Akagi is a little anxious, he hopes to master the Kaio-ken before the competition.

But since Teacher Hideki had said so, he could only suppress his eagerness and bowed with gratitude:

"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Hideki."

"You're welcome. Just like the breathing method before, having you help me provide data for practicing the Kaio-ken will be of great help to me."

Hideki smiled slightly.

But in fact, he also has some selfish motives.

Because among the current students of Kame-ryu, there is probably no one who can defeat Kakashi, who has been through hundreds of battles and has also learned breathing techniques and gentle fists.

Obito is prone to failure, while Asuma is slightly less talented.

Shisui, who is also a super genius, will probably be defeated by Kakashi due to the difference in age and experience.

The one who has a real chance of defeating Kakashi is Kaga, who can defeat others with his strength.

Of course, the prerequisite is that he must at least master the most basic Kaio-ken, or the opening of the Eight Gates.

In this way, the competition should be able to stage an interesting battle between dragons and tigers...

……

Afterwards, Hideki asked Kai to go back to the toy store to help, while he returned to the orphanage, intending to start tailoring Kai's Kaio-ken training clothes for him.

As soon as he entered the door, Atla came running over to tell him:
"Brother Hideki, the uncle with long hair and scary eyes is here to see you. He has been waiting in your office for quite a while."

"I see. Thank you, Atla."

Hideki thanked him, said goodbye to Atla, and came to the office which was usually used for receiving guests.

The person sitting inside was naturally Hyuga Hizashi.

"Hiashi-senpai, I haven't seen you for a few days."

Hideki greeted with a smile,

"By the way, my becoming a jonin didn't cause you any trouble in the clan, did it?"
