After the opening ceremony, the Sandaime left the school quickly. It seemed that he was very busy with work.
The class teachers took the students back to the classroom to start the new semester.
After saying goodbye to Inuzuka Jaw, Hideki returned to his office.
His office is located on the first floor of the teaching building. Although the space is not large, it has been cleaned very well, which saves him a lot of effort.
After all, Hideki has decided to make some major adjustments to the teaching plan in order to cope with the crisis of puppetry's bad reputation.
In order to make it to his first class tomorrow, he has to start working quickly.
Xiu Shu first sat in his seat and took out a notebook to look through it.
It records the teaching plan he had prepared previously, and the content mainly refers to the half of the puppetry textbook of Sunagakure.
However, what Hideki is in charge of is just an elective training course after all, and he cannot ask students to focus most of their time and energy on it like the puppeteer apprentices of Sunagakure.
Therefore, he had already made significant deletions and modifications to the content of the teaching materials and developed a teaching plan suitable for the physique of Konoha babies.
Puppetry can be roughly divided into two parts: puppet making and puppet manipulation.
Considering class time and practicality, Xiushu decided to make puppet manipulation the main content of the course.
As for the puppet making part, since it requires learning a lot of professional knowledge and the results are slow, Xiu Shu plans to make it an advanced content and do it after selecting talented students.
It is enough for ordinary students to master how to make and repair some simple ninja tool mechanisms.
Even in terms of puppet control, Hideki actually only intended to teach the most basic parts.
Because he was once a ninja school student, he never hesitated to underestimate the level of students with the worst malice.
Just the most basic chakra line production technology in puppet control is probably enough to make students who haven't even learned how to climb trees or step on water drink a bottle of wine.
Therefore, in Hideki's vision, students would be thankful if they could learn to create and temporarily maintain chakra lines by the end of the semester, and use them to trigger some simple mechanisms.
This way, students will have an additional good method to fight against the enemy, and as the result of the first semester of the puppetry class, it should satisfy all parties.
——Of course, the premise of all this is that the course can proceed smoothly...
Now Xiu Shu has realized that people's prejudice against puppetry is more serious than he imagined, and it may not be so easy to achieve this teaching goal.
You know, learning puppetry itself is very boring.
If students still have prejudices against puppetry, it will be impossible to persist.
That's why Hideki decided to incorporate an entertaining teaching method, hoping to ignite the children's passion for learning puppetry.
"The key lies in the method of cultivating chakra lines..."
Xiu Shu stroked his chin and pondered for a long time before he gradually sorted out his thoughts.
"It must be made as novel and interesting as possible without reducing the efficiency of cultivation."
"It would be best if it is interesting enough that students are willing to study on their own even outside of class, so as to make up for the lack of class time."
Xiu Shu felt that he had finally caught a hint of inspiration, and quickly took out another tattered notebook from his arms and opened it.
This notebook records the information of the ninja tools and puppets he invented over the years, as well as the ideas he has not yet realized.
Hideki thought that perhaps he could make the practice of chakra lines more interesting by transforming one of the inventions into a teaching aid to assist in practice.
"It must be able to train everyone's ability to control chakra lines in all aspects, and it must be interesting enough, and it would be best if it could be used in actual combat..."
Hideki muttered to himself while flipping through his notes.
But after looking through the books for a long time, he still couldn't find the ninja tools that suited his taste.
It was not until he almost turned to the beginning of the notebook that his eyes stopped on one of the pages.
"Small Puppet Beast 1.0... I really miss it."
Xiu Shu said with a hint of emotion.
It turns out that due to Hideki's ordinary background, he was born with a limited amount of chakra, so in order to reduce consumption, he decided to go the route of a small puppet after he had mastered the puppet technique.
This small puppet beast 1.0 is the first result that he spent a lot of time to create.
Because its main purpose is to detect and lure enemies, its appearance is generally chosen to be various cute little animals.
Moreover, Hideki spent a lot of effort on materials and manipulation to make them look lifelike.
However, due to its small size and the limited level of puppet making by Xiu Shu at that time, this type of puppet beast can only be equipped with some small mechanical hidden weapons inside, and its lethality is not high.
In order to make up for this shortcoming, Xiu Shu could only prepare himself mentally to treat them as disposable ninja tools, and reluctantly stuffed a lot of detonating talismans inside them...
Therefore, he jokingly called this 1.0 version of the small puppet beast "cute to the extreme".
It was with this small puppet beast that could explode at any time that Hideki began to emerge on the battlefield.
But the price he paid was that he was very hated during that time, and even attracted the resentment of many small animals.
Because after he succeeded several times, the ninjas in the enemy village, who were paranoid, would always ruthlessly use AOE ninjutsu to attack all the cats and dogs within their field of vision...
Since even real ninjas can hardly resist the temptation of small puppet beasts, wouldn't it be absolutely perfect to use it as a teaching aid? It will definitely be very popular.
Unfortunately, this small puppet beast may not be able to serve as a teaching aid now.
Because with the students' current level, let alone controlling them vividly, even just making them move simply with chakra lines is difficult to do, and it is difficult to use them for practice.
But this idea was so attractive that Xiushu couldn't help but start to wonder whether it could be further modified to meet the requirements of being a teaching aid.
But it seems impossible to complete the design and renovation before class tomorrow.
"It seems like it's time to use that trick..."
After a little thought, Hideki realized that this problem was beyond his ability and decided to use his last resort.
——Everyone thought that Xiu Shu's success was due to his half puppetry textbook, and attributed his success to his talent and luck.
However, what they didn't know was that the reason why Hideki was able to learn puppetry by self-study was actually a ninjutsu he created himself...
It is said that during a break during the Second Ninja World War, Hideki accidentally heard a missionary speech given by an old monk in the market.
However, the sect he promoted was a little special, it was actually the legendary Ninja Sect.
Hideki was also surprised at first how anyone could know about the Ninja Clan from a thousand years ago.
But on second thought, the legend of the Six Paths Sage has been passed down to this day, and he has even become the creator god. So it is very likely that some of his diehard followers have passed down the Ninja Sect he founded to this day.
The old man did not say any practical stuff, but just promoted the Ninja Sect to everyone by telling the story of the Six Paths Sage teaching the world.
It's a pity that just like a thousand years ago, what everyone really wants is ninjutsu that can bring them practical benefits, and they have no interest in ninja sects that want to achieve mutual understanding through chakra.
So the old monk could only leave sadly in the end.
In fact, Hideki did not get any benefits directly from the old monk, but the philosophy of the Ninja Sect still lingered in his mind like the melody of a song whose name he could not remember.
After several days of hard thinking, Xiu Shu finally figured out the problem and came up with a rather bold idea:
"According to the original work, the Six Paths Sage explained the true meaning of chakra, hoping to connect the spiritual energy of people through chakra, so as to achieve the ultimate peace where people can understand each other without words."
"But the warlike humans eventually failed to live up to the expectations of the Six Paths Sage. They chose to use chakra to connect their own spiritual energy and physical energy, thereby amplifying the chakra in their bodies and converting it into force."
"Now here comes the interesting question..."
"What would happen if I used chakra to connect myself to my spiritual energy?"
This idea may sound far-fetched. After all, where in the world can you find a second "self"?
Indeed, in the laws of most worlds, creating an avatar with the same thoughts as oneself is a very high-level ability that cannot be achieved by mortals.
But what's interesting is that the ninja world where Hideki lives is exactly an exception.
With the help of the magical chakra, one only needs to learn the B-level shadow clone technique to easily have a second "self".
In order to verify his conjecture, Hideki spent almost all his savings to buy a scroll of the Shadow Clone Technique from the black market, and then spent several months to learn it.
On the day he learned it, he couldn't wait to start experiments, connecting his own spiritual energy with the spiritual energy of his shadow clone through chakra.
As a result, thirty seconds later, Hideki's head exploded...
The book is finished.
——Well, to be more precise, Hideki's shadow clone's head exploded, and then it disappeared in a puff of white smoke.
Although it looked like the experiment had failed, Hideki held his forehead to endure a severe headache and then burst into a rare and unbridled laugh.
Because this experiment was more successful than he had imagined.
In those short thirty seconds, Xiu Shu found that his thinking became clearer and sharper than ever before.
And this sharp thinking also allowed him to instantly figure out the reason.
When people's spiritual energies are connected through chakras, they can communicate without language.
When his spiritual energy and that of his shadow clone are connected through chakra, because they come from the same source, the communication efficiency is terrifyingly high, and a large amount of information can be exchanged in an instant.
This also means that Xiu Shu can use the brain of the shadow clone to help himself think in real time.
To use an analogy, it is like a single-core CPU becoming a multi-core CPU, or a single computer becoming a cluster of multiple computers.
The brains of the original body and the shadow clone are closely connected through chakra, the "computing power" is directly doubled, and the thinking speed is naturally greatly improved.
The reason why the shadow clone's head suddenly exploded was because the speed of thinking was too fast, which exceeded the load that the shadow clone's brain could bear.
In subsequent repeated tests, Hideki also discovered that the human brain is different from a CPU that can only perform calculations. In the process of thinking about a problem from all angles, it can more easily stimulate and capture fleeting inspiration.
Edison is said to have said that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.
But he actually said another sentence afterwards: That 1% inspiration is even more important than 99% sweat.
Therefore, the result of Hideki's experiment was not as simple as making him think faster, but it enabled him, who was originally just an average person, to become a true genius in a short period of time.
So, Hideki Kimura, who had neither a heaven-defying cheat nor amazing talent, finally created a genius cheat for himself more than ten years after coming to the ninja world.
Considering that this technique is essentially about letting the main body and the shadow clone have a high-speed discussion in the mind through chakra, and the brain needs to work at a crazy high speed when using it, Hideki gave this technique a very appropriate name:
The art of brainstorming.
However, Xiu Shu found that in order to achieve real-time communication between the original body and the shadow clone, a large amount of chakra was required every moment.
Limited by the amount of chakra and the endurance of the shadow clones, even after many improvements, Xiu Shu can only become a genius for three minutes a day at most.
But the three minutes every day add up to a lot, and gradually Hideki's life in the ninja world has undergone earth-shaking changes.
In fact, Hideki was able to master puppetry by self-study thanks to this ninjutsu.
How to continue to improve the effect of this ninjutsu is also one of the important topics for Hideki when he returns to Konoha this time.
But before that, his most important task now is to use this technique to find a solution to the problem at hand...
