Pupet Master in Konoha

A few more days passed, and it was already mid-October.

Since Hideki had distributed the Pocket Puppet Beasts to the children, the ninja academy had become as lively as a festival once again.

Even though every student had obtained the Pocket Puppet Beast they had wished for, they still had to share it with the five people in their group, and the total time they could play each week was only one day.

So, whenever it was their turn to use the Pocket Puppet Beast, the children would race against time and rack their brains to make the most of this limited time.

For example, Yuhi Kurenai had obtained Hideki's permission to gather several groups, including Rin's, to perform puppet shows in the puppet classroom during lunch breaks.

Although Hideki still couldn't understand the use of Pocket Puppet Beasts in bloody dramas, Kurenai's performance at least received unanimous praise from the girls, and even several teachers often came to watch it.

This made Hideki hold his forehead in frustration, lamenting that the aesthetics of the people in the ninja world still needed improvement.

After the play became very popular, Yuhi Kurenai even discussed business with Hideki, a proud look on her face.

She said that when the point system was fully implemented across the school, she would charge points as an entry fee.

Hideki smiled superficially and praised her business acumen but turned to Minato and suggested:

the exchange of points between students must be prohibited...

Points were rewards for the hard work and performance of the students. How could they be allowed to exchange them freely?

For example, groups like Genma, Ibiki, and Ebisu had been busy setting up obstacle courses and small traps all over the school lately.

It turned out that playing obstacle courses in a corner of the puppet classroom no longer satisfied their inflated ambitions.

They were preparing to hold a golem obstacle course throughout the entire school.

And to attract everyone to participate, they also used everyone's points to ask Hideki to customize three more advanced parts as prizes for the top three in the obstacle course.

Hideki was naturally happy to see the correct use of the points and quickly accepted their request.

At that moment, other team members who were originally uninterested also began to ignite their fighting spirit, and everyone eagerly awaited the day of the competition.

Of course, the most popular event was the Pocket Puppet Battle.

Needless to say, after lunch and school, the children would take out their controllers and puppets and race against time in a heated competition even after classes were over.

As long as it didn't disrupt the order of the class, Hideki was very tolerant of this.

To help everyone find their opponents as quickly as possible, Hideki had also used the sealing skills he had recently learned to add an interesting feature to the handles.

That is, as long as the two handles were close to a certain distance, they would resonate at the same time and send a slight vibration as a reminder.

"My controller is vibrating. There must be a Pocket Puppet Beast user nearby!"

Then their gazes met, signaling the start of the battle.

At this time, a large group of students would quickly gather around to watch and comment.

Even students who had never played Pocketmon still enjoyed watching the battles.

And all of them could speak eloquently as if, while they played, even Hideki-sensei wouldn't be a match for them...

As for the students who had attended the puppet class but hadn't chosen to sign up for various reasons, they itched to grab the handles and replace them with their own bodies when they saw the Qilin Arm attack.

In summary, what these two types of students had in common was that they all wished the Six Paths Immortal would appear every day and hoped that Teacher Hideki would open the puppet classroom as soon as possible so they could play with Pocket Puppet Beasts as soon as possible.

However, the popularity of Pocket Puppet Beasts had still caused some problems...

Despite Hideki's repeated warnings, no student used the Pocket Puppet Beasts to cause trouble in class.

However, many students still secretly made parts of the Puppet Beast during class to save time.

Especially the apprentices in the workshops.

After initially mastering the chakra carving knife, they didn't even need tools. They could quietly and slowly make the parts with just their hands.

But their actions, which they thought were secret, were as noticeable as fireflies in the dark to a teacher who had at least a chunin level.

Every time their actions were discovered, the teachers would go to Hideki to complain, using the situation to borrow puppets to play with, which greatly annoyed Hideki.

So, before the puppet class ended on Thursday, Hideki had to fix the rules he had set:

"Please do not make crafts during other classes in the future."

"If caught, in addition to deducting points, the Puppet Beasts of that group will also be confiscated for a week."

As soon as these words were spoken, the classroom was naturally filled with gloom.

Everyone discussed among themselves, acting cute and coquettish, using threats and incentives. Unfortunately, their teacher Hideki remained unmoved and even yawned.

So, in the end, everyone had to give in.

Only points remained.

The little ninjas couldn't imagine what it would be like to be chased by their team members if the Puppet Beast was confiscated because of their own actions...

Soon, the bell rang announcing the end of class, and the children quickly forgot their unhappy thoughts, inviting each other to the playground to fight in three hundred rounds with Pocket Puppet Beasts.

After seeing all the students leave, Hideki turned his attention to a dark corner of the classroom and said jokingly:

"It's not a good habit to peek at other people's classes. It can easily cause unnecessary disputes."

"If you two are interested in puppets, feel free to come to me and communicate openly."

After Hideki's voice echoed in the empty classroom for more than ten seconds, two shadowy figures in jackets and sunglasses stepped out from the dark corner.

Aburame Clan...

Hideki raised an eyebrow slightly.

Did people from this clan have such a low presence?

If he hadn't been wandering around for years and wasn't used to occasionally using radar detection techniques, it would have been difficult to detect their presence.

Just as Hideki was watching them, one of them, a taller man in his twenties, suddenly introduced himself without any expression:

"Aburame Shiguro."

The younger man, who looked a few years younger than Hideki, also spoke:

"Aburame Ryoma."

Spider Sense: full coverage mode.

He didn't care much about Aburame Ryoma for now, but the moment he heard the name "Aburame Shiguro," Hideki decisively activated the strongest mode of his Spider Sense technique.

In addition to extending chakra threads to form a chakra web as usual,

Hideki also mimicked the fine hairs of a spider, allowing the chakra silk to branch out into many fine threads and then wrap around his entire body.

Spiders don't have a sense of hearing or smell, so they rely on finer and more sensitive hairs than humans to sense everything around them.

Similarly, Hideki's perception of the environment would become sharper in this state.

If any foreign object wanted to come into contact with Hideki, it would first have to be detected by this filtering membrane.

There's a reason Hideki is so aggressive.

Because he had already used brainstorming techniques to recall and study the characters of Konoha with whom it was better not to get involved.

And Aburame Shiguro in front of me was one of those who was very close to the top...
