Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Minato's Visit
Since Hideki had just introduced the Puppet Beast Transformation System to the children, he struck while the iron was hot and began his first lesson on how to make puppets.
To lay a good foundation for everyone, this time he didn't show off his skills, but instead, he honestly started from the very basics.
Hideki explained one by one the safety rules for manual crafting, the proper use of various tools, the uses of common materials, and the corresponding processing methods, even giving personal demonstrations from time to time.
Although this was basic and somewhat boring content, it was closely related to the production of Pocket Puppet Beasts, so the little ninjas listened attentively.
Then, Hideki reserved some time for everyone to practice, with the goal of making a wooden kunai.
The little ninjas had been practicing the use of various ninja tools since they were young and had also learned basic trap-making methods at the academy, so a simple carpentry task like this wasn't difficult for them.
However, during the practice, it quickly became clear that there was a technical gap between the regular students and the apprentices who attended the workshop.
Although the regular students were also very smart, they didn't seem as adept when using knives and chisels for carving.
But the apprentices at the workshop had already mastered the basic use of chakra carving knives.
The chakra carving knife, made from their own chakra, could not only be controlled like an arm or a finger, but also change the blade's shape at any time as needed.
Therefore, the apprentices naturally had divine assistance when using the carving knife, much like masters who had been immersed in this craft for many years.
At first, the regular students were content with their carpentry talent after focusing on making a kunai.
But when they looked around, they realized that the apprentices had already finished making their kunai and had started crafting various toys. There was a clear sense of the gap between them.
Especially when they saw the apprentices using the blue blade like a hot knife through butter, easily carving and shaping the wooden blocks, they couldn't help but swallow a big gulp.
"Hey, this isn't fair! Why didn't anyone tell us that this chakra carving knife is so useful?"
"And if you look at how sharp it is, it could even be useful in battle."
"Damn, these guys who go to the workshop to study are so treacherous, they deliberately hid this information!"
The regular students began to whisper, and their words revealed their envy and jealousy toward the other apprentices.
Many students also took the opportunity to ask Hideki if chakra carving techniques would be taught in future classes.
Hideki secretly smiled in his heart, but replied somewhat apologetically:
"It's quite unfortunate, because there are still many students whose chakra control is not up to par, and the class time is limited."
"Therefore, the chakra tool series ninjutsu, including the chakra carving knife, will probably only be taught in the workshop."
"It's just that if you don't study puppet-making technology in depth, ordinary tools are quite easy to use, and there's no need to go to the workshop to learn."
"Nani, there's actually a complete set of tools and ninjutsu techniques that can be learned?"
Although Hideki's words were meant to persuade them to give up, the only thing the little ninjas really heard was the term "chakra tool ninjutsu series," which made them even more envious for a while.
Although what the teacher said made sense, it was just basic craftsmanship, and ordinary tools would suffice.
But when they thought that in the future, the apprentices would use various chakra tools to make things, while they would still be stuck with outdated, primitive tools, it felt as uncomfortable as being bitten by ants.
Originally, many students were debating whether to study at the workshop to obtain high-level puppet beast parts.
However, after adding the final weight of the chakra carving knife, the balance in their hearts finally tipped, making them determined…
Soon after, this puppet-making lesson also came to an end.
Then, just as Hideki had said earlier, he asked everyone to discuss in groups and choose the Pocket Puppet Beast they wanted.
After seeing the endless possibilities of the Puppet Beast Transformation System, everyone was finally able to choose the Puppet Beast based on their group's preferences, and the distribution was quite fair.
There were six groups for Charmander, five groups for Squirtle, and five groups for Bulbasaur.
Since Obito's entire group were good-natured, they got Charmander as their Puppet Beast, which made Obito's nostrils flare with joy.
In contrast, Asuma had originally wanted to choose Squirtle, but unfortunately, with the unanimous vote of his teammates, he could only choose Charmander, which made him very angry.
Kurenai's team chose Squirtle, and as soon as they got it, they dressed it in a beautiful outfit they had prepared, making it look adorable and cute.
Ebisu's team also chose Squirtle, but when they got it, they put on a pair of sunglasses, suddenly giving it the style of the Intelligence Team of Four Eyes...
People on both sides silently despised each other's aesthetics and refused to give in.
In the end, Rin, Genma, and Ibiki chose Bulbasaur.
As an all-terrain combat type, Miaowa Seed should show completely different combat characteristics under its transformation.
"As I promised earlier, the Pocket Puppet Beast is now in your hands."
"Now it's time to fulfill your promises. Remember to cherish them and make good use of them."
"Also, don't neglect other school tasks. You must take turns practicing. Don't let my hard work go to waste."
After distributing the valuable Puppet Beasts, Hideki still felt a bit disheartened and couldn't help but give several instructions.
It was a pity that the little ninjas were all focused on their group's Puppet Beasts at the moment. How could they still have the attention to listen?
So, when Hideki saw this, he could only wave his hand helplessly and said:
"Alright, that's it for today's class, you bandits, get out of here!"
The next moment, the cheers that had been suppressed for so long suddenly erupted, and the entire puppet-making classroom was filled with a joyful atmosphere…
…
Soon, the little ninjas gathered around their Puppet Beasts and happily left the classroom.
Hideki looked at their excited backs, and his eyes softened slightly.
But he quickly calmed down, picked up the large pile of task books, and prepared to return to his office.
Just as he was about to reach his office, he saw a familiar figure standing in front of the door.
"Minato, why do you always come to see me at this hour?"
Hideki complained as he walked toward the office door, opened it with a chakra cord, and entered with Minato.
"That depends on you, Hideki."
Minato seemed helpless and said:
"Except when you need to go to class, Hideki, you hardly ever appear at the school, so I had no choice but to come find you after you finished your class."
Hideki thought it was okay. He had been busy with training and workshop work recently. He basically only came to the academy to teach classes, and it was difficult for others to find him.
Speaking of which, phones aren't even popular in the ninja world right now, so it's really inconvenient to find someone.
This could also be a business opportunity!
After briefly considering this idea, Hideki served Minato a glass of strawberry milk and then asked:
"So, Minato, when you came today, did Kushina finally make a decision?"
