In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 8: Man, I'm a genius!

He is a true genius, the highest talent among puppeteers in the Naruto world, and will be the strongest puppeteer in the world in the future.

Among the eighty people participating in the training and selection, the two youngest ones have performed best so far.

Looking at the lifelike Tom carved out of tinplate in front of him, Qingshui smiled.

【Puppet Name】: Tom
【Comprehensive parameters】:
Height: 61 cm
Weight: 14.31kg
Material: white ironwood, reinforced bone material...

Energy: None
Operation method: Chakra line

[Puppet Rating]: C
[Overall Evaluation]: A small-sized anime puppet with excellent agility and perfect design. It has the combat power of a standard Genin level. It can be partially modified by replacing better materials to further enhance its combat power.

Qingshui stretched out his hands, and chakra lines popped out from his ten fingers and connected to the white cat's body, manipulating it to make several movements.

Feeling the smooth operation, Qingshui couldn't help but feel more satisfied.

Tom's fighting ability is probably not much worse than Fatty's.

It’s a pity that there is no blue dye. If Qingshui could bring Tom back, he would definitely paint this puppet cat blue.

I am a genius to be able to make a puppet like this in less than an hour!
"Your name is Qingshui?"

Sunaue Sayama walked up to Shimizu, looked at him and asked.

"Yes, Sayama Jonin."

Shimizu stopped what he was doing and stood at attention in front of his superior.

"Well, that's a good name. Your puppet was made very quickly. Don't you have the puppet design?"

Sunagami Sayama tried his best to show his gentle side.

And Qingshui looked at this jonin with some fear. He had a fierce face and spoke in a muffled voice, like a gangster boss.

This guy looks ruthless and doesn't talk much. He will definitely beat you up when he opens his mouth.

"Um……"

The guess was confirmed, and Sunagami Sayama opened his mouth wide and revealed a terrifying smile.

"Well...if you think it's not good without the design drawing, I can add one right now."

Shimizu looked at the jonin who had a cruel smile on his face and said hesitantly.

"No! No blueprints are good, very good!"

Sunagami Sayama patted Shimizu's shoulder and laughed.

Qingshui just felt pain in his shoulder.

Is this uncle really a puppeteer? With arms that can run a horse, people would believe he is a jonin who specializes in physical skills!

"Originally, I planned to have you guys fight each other after you finished making puppets. Now that no one else has finished making them, how about I compete with you to see how good your puppet is?"

Sunagami Sayama patted Shimizu's shoulders twice again and laughed.

"Forget it, Sandshang, let me do it. If you take out your puppet, will there be room for Qingshui to display it? Let me do it."

Ishido walked over with a smile, pushed Sunagami Sayama away, took off the sealing scroll on his back, and formed a seal to release a puppet that Shimizu was very familiar with.

【Puppet name】: Little boy

Height: 1.35 meters

Weight: 29.18kg

Energy: None

【Detailed data】：……

This is the puppet I repaired a week ago!
"Why are you carrying such a puppet?"

Sunaue Sayama's eyes widened. He knew this was not the puppet Ishido usually used.

As a jonin, the puppets Ishido used were far more powerful than this.

"You'll know in a minute."

Ishito blinked at Qingshui, looked around, and then said:

"Let's go somewhere farther away to avoid disturbing the people here."

After saying that, he planned to pull Qingshui to another place.

"no need."

A clear child's voice sounded.

The short red-haired boy controlled a puppet with six arms, which was also made of white ironwood.

"I've finished my puppet. It's called Termite, and it can be your opponent."

Scorpion controlled the termites to jump in front of Tom, then turned to look at Qingshui with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

This person's puppet is made faster than himself, but I don't know what the quality is.

After the death of my parents, a sense of anticipation began to arise in my heart, which had always been as stagnant as a pool of water.

He was young and precocious, which resulted in him not having a single true friend among his peers, because in his opinion, other people of his age were too stupid and childish. In addition, as he was the grandson of the elder Chiyo and had a noble status, the number of people of his age he could interact with was even smaller.

So he can only devote his energy to his hobbies.

That is puppetry.

The ninja games played by his peers were too childish, and he was disdainful of discussing such boring things. At the same time, no one among his peers could keep up with his progress in puppetry.

Genius is always lonely, unless you can meet other geniuses.

The clear water aroused some interest in Scorpio.

He seemed to have found his kind.

"You've actually finished it so quickly? You're worthy of being the grandson of Elder Chiyo."

Ishido stopped walking, and Sunagami Sayama looked at Scorpion's puppet in surprise.

This puppet doesn't seem bad either!
Qingshui also looked at Scorpion.

Is it really a scorpion?
He had long guessed the identity of the red-haired boy. After all, his age and hair color matched, and he was able to participate in such an elite puppetry selection at such a young age. His puppetry talent must be extremely high.

Apart from Scorpion, it would be hard to find a second one in the huge Sand Village.

"Then let's have a competition between the two of you!"

Sunagami Sayama agreed.

So, Shimizu's opponent changed from Ishido to Sasori.

The Sand Village is not Konoha, and the battle between the two did not involve any troublesome things like the Seal of Opposition and the Seal of Reconciliation. Ishido, who served as the referee, waved his hand in the middle, and the two of them started fighting at the same time, controlling their puppets.

"I don't know if this white termite has anything in common with the black ants that were also created by Scorpion in the original story. However, as far as I can see now, the white termite's hard functions are slightly worse than Tom's, but it should also have the combat power of a Genin level. According to the classification of the panel, it should have a strength of C-."

After a brief fight, Qingshui couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

As expected of a Scorpion, he was able to make such a puppet in such a short time. Moreover, although he was young, his puppet manipulation skills were quite advanced. Even though there was a certain gap in the performance of the puppet, he managed to fight against himself on equal terms.

Yes, Qingshui discovered that his fairly good puppet manipulation ability was actually surpassed by Scorpion, who was two years younger than him. He could only rely on the performance advantage of his puppet to bully the child.

I am just a genius disguised by cheats, while Scorpio is the real genius!

Fortunately, the reason why plug-ins are called plug-ins is because they are really more powerful than talent.
