Pupet Master in Konoha

Just as Obito was stunned by his master's words, Kushina was also stunned for a few seconds upon hearing the news brought by Minato.

But after the initial shock, an indescribable feeling of happiness filled Kushina's heart.

"That's great! Minato, thank you!"

Kushina shook Minato's arm with a surprised expression on her face.

"You don't know how boring I usually am!"

"I've decided to take the job as a sealing consultant!"

Minato gently stroked Kushina's hand to comfort her, then corrected her:

"Kushina, the person you should thank the most is Hideki. After all, it was his suggestion for you to become the sealing consultant."

Kushina's expression was a bit strange when she heard this, but she quickly nodded vigorously and said:

"I know, I'll thank him in person if I get the chance!"

The reason Kushina hesitated for a moment was because her initial impression of Hideki was actually quite bad.

Because...

Minato had been forgetting to eat and sleep these past few days! He didn't even have time to spend with her! This guy's name was on the cover of the plans!

And even when eating and resting, Minato was constantly mentioning his name!

Kushina, who had always been protective of her husband, couldn't stand it. She suddenly considered him a flirt who had stolen her man. She complained a lot in her heart and thought Hideki must be a puppet master trying to get into Minato's good books.

Of course, this little thought disappeared instantly after receiving Hideki's invitation.

After all, not everyone could deduce her identity and situation from a few clues.

Nobody would dive into this murky water without hesitation after learning of her situation and offer her the job she so desperately needed.

Obviously, Hideki and Minato were both talented and intelligent, and both were good people with the Will of Fire. It's no wonder that the two got along so well!

For Hideki, Kushina was naturally filled with gratitude.

As a newly hired worker, she believed that the way to repay this was to work hard.

So, Kushina couldn't wait to ask:

"Minato, when can I start working?"

"Kushina, you're too impatient."

Minato smiled, "Before that, don't you want to hear the details of this job and see if you're up for it?"

"Kukuku, Minato, don't underestimate my sealing skills!"

Kushina puffed her chest out proudly and said:

"Just designing runes and spells for toys, how could it be difficult for me, Kushina, to handle?"

Minato's smile faltered slightly.

Because he had already heard Hideki's earlier explanation and knew that this job was definitely not as simple as Kushina thought.

However, seeing Kushina so happy, Minato couldn't just dampen her enthusiasm, so he pulled out another scroll and said:

"Alright, but Hideki also gave me a recently developed trial job. Kushina, don't you want to take a look?"

"Minato, why are you pulling this out now?"

Kushina took the scroll again and looked at the two scrolls in her hands, feeling pleased.

Because one box contained toys, which meant fun, and the other contained trial works, which meant work.

Kushina could already imagine how colorful her life would be in the future.

"Then, let's take a look at how the boss Hideki's invention looks."

Kushina placed the second scroll on the table and unrolled it.

Boom!

A cloud of white smoke exploded from the center of the magic circle formed by the runes.

As the white smoke dissipated, two strange-looking little puppets appeared on the scroll.

One looked like a plump yellow rat with a lightning-shaped tail.

The other looked like a small brown fox, with a fluffy cream-colored ring of fur around its neck.

"Wow, how cute!"

Kushina picked up the brown fox and looked at it happily.

Minato liked the yellow rat more, so he happily stepped forward to admire it.

However, he found a small box on the table. When he opened it, he found two handles and two instructions inside.

"I see, these are the so-called Pocket Puppet Beasts, and they are the latest models."

"Kushina, yours is called Eevee, and this one is called Pikachu. All the names are quite rare."

"Pocket Puppet?"

Kushina's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Could it be the one that's recently popular in the ninja schools? I heard it's really fun."

Minato had an idea of what was going to happen next, but he still weakly protested:

"Kushina, I think we should first study the structure and the runic techniques inside them..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Minato-san, you don't understand."

Kushina said with confidence:

"To better understand how this works, we should first try playing with them."

Actually...

Minato raised a hand to his forehead in helplessness and sighed.

Kushina had already taken two handles, keeping one for herself and handing the other to Minato, an eager look on her face.

"Come on, Minato, let's battle together using Pocket Puppetmon!"

"Wait a minute, Mr. Hideki, why did Charmander suddenly breathe fire?"

After the shock, Obito reluctantly asked.

"Since it's called Charmander, what's surprising about it being able to breathe fire?"

Hideki seemed natural, but then explained:

"Actually, you know from the name of the little fire dragon that in the original design, it was meant to breathe fire."

"After all, this function isn't hard to achieve. At least I know no less than ten methods."

"The reason it hasn't been implemented is that, after all, the Pocket Puppet Beasts are teaching tools. To avoid being easily damaged, their lethality must be limited."

"Once we can limit the power, the flames, unlike water guns and seed machine guns, can also activate the runic spells inside the puppet beast through impact, reducing the opponent's health, thus simulating a real combat effect."

"That's why I temporarily removed Charmander's ability to breathe fire."

"But I've just learned a rune technique that can detect temperature changes."

"As long as it's integrated into the puppet beast's health magic circuit, even if the flame isn't very powerful, the magic can still be triggered by the increase in temperature, causing damage."

"That way, Charmander will finally be able to use flames to compete with its opponents!"

Although Hideki was quite satisfied with the design he had just thought of, Obito seemed a little unhappy and even muttered:

"Actually, it doesn't matter if Charmander can't breathe fire..."

Hideki couldn't see the boy's small thoughts, so he rubbed his head and said:

"I've said many times in class that a puppet master's strength depends on their control technique and the puppet itself."

"So, just like Obito, you can grow stronger through practice, Pocket Puppet Beasts must also evolve."

"Because only then can they grow alongside everyone for a longer time."

Grow together...

Obito's body couldn't help but shudder.

It was because he had initially been frustrated with his escape training that he faced the same problem as the little fire dragon, which couldn't breathe fire.

Now that Charmander could breathe fire, he felt abandoned, so he resisted a bit.

However, his master's words also inspired him.

Since the Pocket Puppet Beasts could evolve, maybe his own potential wasn't so limited!

Of course, Obito wouldn't have dared to think like this before.

But now, there were so many people standing beside him... No, could it be the magical Mr. Hideki?

Obito remembered that his master had once said that the personal power he had used before to control himself might be applicable in ninjutsu practice.

So Obito came up with a bold idea.

Charmander, just wait, I'll catch up with you soon!

After making a decision in silence, Obito asked Hideki:

"Master, can we change the training session to something else?"

Hideki raised an eyebrow and said: "Yes, yes, but Obito, what do you want to change it to?"

Obito smiled mischievously and said:

"Master, I want you to help me practice and teach me the art of the fireball!"
