Pupet Master in Konoha

"Really, I'm here for this."

Minato nodded and then said with a bitter smile.

"Speaking of which, Hideki, you've made me feel miserable. Since I opened the storage scroll you gave me, Kushina and I haven't been able to sleep well for nights..."

Hideki scratched his head, confused.

Today, Minato's face indeed looked more haggard than before, with dark circles under his eyes, as though he had been drained dry.

But Hideki clearly remembered that the scroll he had given Minato only contained two puppet beasts, not any blue pills.

Fortunately, Minato's next words finally answered Hideki's question.

"Kushina and I underestimated the core of the puppet beast."

Minato said with a bitter smile.

"We didn't expect that, besides the surface, the inside was also divided into several layers, all etched with dense runes..."

"It turns out that the operating principle of this pocket puppet is much more complicated than we imagined."

"Although the simplest rune techniques are used, even after several days of modification and optimization by Kushina and me, it's still hard to reach a standard that is easy for students to master..."

"Hideki, you might not know, but Kushina is actually very competitive."

"Originally, she wanted to achieve results before accepting your job offer, Hideki, so she's still in a bad mood at home..."

After hearing this, Hideki drank the entire glass of milk on the table, set the cup down, and then said, speechless:

"I understand the situation, but why did you want to modify the core rune technique without any reason?"

Minato's blue eyes widened in surprise as he asked:

"Didn't you say, Hideki, that you needed Kushina to help simplify and modify the rune techniques so that students could master them?"

"Yes, that's what I said."

Hideki finally realized and looked a little dumbfounded:

"It's just that I gave you the puppet beast to let you know my current sealing skills level, for easier future communication. It wasn't my intention to have you modify it immediately."

"After all, I didn't plan on turning the puppet beast into a commodity so soon."

"And even if it were commercialized, I wouldn't expect the kids who've just learned sealing techniques to be responsible for drawing the basic runes."

"I'd be grateful if you could help with rune drawing in other areas..."

Minato suddenly lost composure upon hearing this, his mouth hanging open.

Looking back, when Hideki had given him the scroll, he only said he wanted them to have a look, not to modify or optimize it.

It was just that Kushina took it upon herself to show off her skills to her future boss, so she started modifying the runes.

However, Minato suspected a lot, and in the end, he realized the blame fell on himself for not explaining things clearly.

Thinking of explaining this to Kushina later, his scalp began to tingle...

"Hideki, would you like to have dinner with me at Kushina's house tonight?"

Minato quickly forced a sincere smile and extended an invitation to Hideki.

Hideki didn't know that Minato wanted him to help block the weapon, so he quickly shook his head and declined:

"Definitely next time!"

"I don't like spicy food. Minato, you should take the red pepper yourself."

When Minato heard this, he felt like crying without tears.

After drinking a glass of strawberry milk, Minato calmed down and returned to the topic.

He said in a very interested tone:

"Although it was a mistake, after researching it, Kushina and I found that your design, Hideki, is actually quite interesting."

"Although it's the simplest rune spell, after accumulating the numbers, it can actually form such a complex magic circuit."

"If we continue researching in this direction, we might find a completely different path from ordinary sealing techniques."

"It's a shame that if you want to draw such a long magical circuit all at once, you need a strong control over chakra like you, Hideki, so this method can never be popularized..."

"That's hard to say~"

Hideki suddenly smiled and interjected.

"I want to hear the details."

Minato, also very interested in Hideki's thoughts, began listening attentively.

"First, let's clarify things."

Hideki began speaking eloquently:

"According to you, Minato, the reason this method can't be popularized is because if the technique's circuit is too long, it requires strong chakra control to complete it all at once."

"There's a hidden premise in that, meaning the sealing technique's chakra circuit must be completed all at once to be effective."

"So, why is that?"

Minato answered unconsciously:

"According to the classics, because chakra is a product of both spiritual and physical energy."

"So, even in the same person, slight changes in physical condition, mental state, or even thoughts will lead to corresponding changes in chakra properties."

"When drawing rune spells, these subtle changes, which are difficult to control independently, will prevent the runes from connecting due to differences in chakra properties."

"So, we need to have no distractions when drawing the runes, and it must be done in one go, without too long an interval."

"This should be recorded in the basic sealing techniques book I gave you, Hideki."

"Well, I saw it."

Hideki nodded and then added with a strange expression:

"It's just that if I had looked at it a few years ago, maybe I wouldn't have been able to draw such a long runic circuit..."

Minato's face stiffened when he heard this, as if considering some possibility, and asked cautiously:

"Didn't Hideki draw all the runes in the puppet beast core at once?"

Although this idea was a bit unbelievable, the magic spell in the core was so long that Minato had to have doubts.

Indeed, Hideki shrugged and said:

"I don't even have the ability to draw so many runes at once."

"Anyway, even if it's interrupted halfway, wouldn't it be fine to reconnect it?"

"How is that possible?"

Hideki's words simply defied Minato's common sense about sealing techniques, and he couldn't help but question him.

However, Minato quickly reacted and lowered his tone, saying:

"I'm sorry, it's just too strange."

"Because what you're saying, Hideki, is that you can fully restore the chakra's properties when reconnecting the runes!"

"I'm afraid this is only possible for someone who has 100% control over their body, mind, and chakra, right?"

At that moment, Minato started staring at Hideki.

If Hideki can really do this, Minato would have to suspect that the other person might be the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths...

Fortunately, Hideki didn't give another answer that would shatter Minato's assumptions:

"Of course, I can't do what you said, Minato."

—If you give me twenty, no, thirty shadow clones to cast the brainstorming technique together, then maybe it wouldn't be completely impossible.

Hideki secretly complained in his mind and then continued explaining on the surface:

"But Minato, you missed a key point."

"What you said about the strict requirements for the nature of chakra, all of which are aimed at those exquisitely designed chakra circuits."

"Perhaps it's because seal ninjas in the past used shorter and more delicate rune circuits to save materials and shorten the time to perform the spells."

"However, just like the more sophisticated an instrument is, the more likely it is to break, and the more complex a strategy is, the more likely it is to fail due to a small accident."

"Too intricate rune circuits make them extremely fragile. Even a slight change in chakra nature will result in the inability to connect."

"But if you do the opposite and only use the simplest and most basic rune techniques to build a circuit, even if the chakra nature changes slightly, it won't easily cause ambiguity or errors in the runes, and the connection can continue smoothly."

When Minato heard this, it was as if a great bell suddenly rang in his mind.

The buzzing of the bell shattered his three concepts and then slowly began to reshape them...

Because although there are still many issues with Hideki's statement, it actually seems to make sense in theory!

At least according to Hideki, the core runes in his puppet beasts were assembled one by one in this way.

But it was still hard for Minato to believe that such a sealing technique theory, enough to create a whole school of thought, was said by someone who hadn't formally studied sealing techniques just a few days ago.

No, Minato thought, and realized that perhaps it was because Hideki hadn't learned sealing techniques properly that he could break the rules in this way and create a new path that had never been seen before.

Of course, Hideki's incredible chakra control was still indispensable in this.

"Hideki, this time I'm truly convinced."

Minato leaned back in his chair and said excitedly:

"To be able to create this new school of sealing techniques on your own, Hideki, your talent in sealing techniques might even surpass Kushina's."

Unexpectedly, Hideki lightly shook his head and said:

"Actually, this theory wasn't invented just by me."

"Oh? Could it be that, Hideki, you obtained the sealing technique books passed down from past generations?"

Minato asked with interest.

If that's the case, he would feel a great sense of relief.

It's a pity that Hideki's response not only denied his idea but also confused him even more.

"Minato, have you ever heard of something called a computer?"
