The next afternoon, after two days of waiting, the young ninjas finally got to the long-awaited training class.
To their disappointment, the little black cat's seduction drama was not performed again today.
However, considering the novelty and fun of the pocket puppet beast, everyone still obediently came to the warehouse which served as a puppetry classroom.
Today's puppetry class is much better than the day before.
In front of the previous platform, there were rows of tables and chairs neatly arranged, occupying half of the warehouse.
And each table has a toolbox with basic hand tools like saws, hammers, files, and pliers.
On the other side of the warehouse is an open space, probably used for practicing puppet control.
Not long after, the bell for the training class rang suddenly.
As Hideki walked into the classroom from the back door, the little ninjas quickly found a seat and sat down.
After Hideki walked onto the stage, he took a quick look around and saw that the 100 seats were almost all occupied by students. He nodded with satisfaction.
"Welcome back to the puppetry classroom."
"Of course, new students are also welcome to join the journey of exploring the mysteries of puppetry."
"In the last class, everyone has learned that the creation and maintenance of chakra lines is the focus of our teaching this semester."
"So in this class, I will first show you what chakra lines are and why they can become the core technology of puppetry."
After Hideki finished his opening remarks, he began the formal lecture.
"As you know, although ropes and threads may seem insignificant, they have long been used as tools for ninjas."
"We can use them to climb walls, set traps, and even use them in combat."
"——For example, the Uchiha clan's sword-wielding technique using steel wire is very famous in the ninja world..."
"No, no, teacher, you are too kind, hehe."
Obito in the audience felt proud when he heard this, and he rubbed the back of his head and laughed.
The classmates around him resisted the urge to roll their eyes and remained speechless when they saw this.
You are a guy who always fails in the Ninja Tools Course, what are you doing here?
Hideki didn't bother to pay attention to this idiot, and continued with a smile:
"But in addition to steel wire, our ninja predecessors have actually developed another solution."
"That is to condense chakra into thin threads and use them instead of steel wires to control ninja tools."
Having said that, Hideki gently raised his right hand and moved his fingers slightly.
Then, five shurikens flew out from his wide cuffs one after another.
However, they did not continue to fly forward. Instead, they were suspended in the air by an unknown force, and then formed a circle and began to slowly rotate.
"Wow~"
The miraculous sight that made Newton die with his eyes open made the little ninjas sigh in amazement subconsciously.
Especially for those students who are attending the class for the first time.
Many of them just came to join in the fun, wanting to see the increasingly mysterious pocket puppet beast, and were not really interested in Hideki's lectures.
But with the wonderful scene before their eyes, their attention finally began to be attracted.
Then Hideki's clear voice reached the children's ears again:
"As you can see, one of the characteristics of chakra lines is that if you reduce the output of chakra, ordinary people will find it difficult to detect its existence."
"Of course, as the chakra output decreases, it will become more difficult to maintain the chakra line and control the puppet."
"So if a puppeteer wants to use the classic tactic of hiding in the dark and manipulating puppets to kill enemies, he must have very good chakra control."
Can you really not see it? I don't believe it!
Many young ninjas didn't believe it. They leaned forward with their eyes wide open, trying to find the chakra line around the suspended sword.
However, even with their eyes almost popping out of their heads, they still couldn't find any trace of chakra lines.
——Since ordinary people can't see it with their naked eyes, what about special eyes?
Thinking of this, many young ninjas cast envious eyes on Uchiha Obito... and Hyuga Karaka next to him.
Because unlike Obito, who was the last one in the class, this student named Kaname who came to class for the first time was a genius who had already awakened his Byakugan.
The so-called Byakugan is the blood limit passed down from generation to generation by the Hyuga clan. It not only allows a person to have a 360-degree field of vision, the ability to see through and far away, but also allows one to easily see the flow of chakra that ordinary people cannot see.
So if it was Hyuga Karado, he would definitely be able to see the chakra lines created by Kimura Sensei.
The little ninjas' guess was not wrong.
Hyuga Kamado, who had already opened his Byakugan, did see the chakra rays that Hideki shot out from the fingertips of each of his right hands to control the shuriken.
But the shock in his heart was no less than that of his other classmates.
Although Huo Men still looked calm on the surface, he was shouting in his heart:
Too thin my teacher!
It turned out that although Huo Men's vision captured the traces of chakra lines, he was also deeply shocked by the shockingly small amount of chakra in those chakra lines.
As Mr. Kimura just said, the less chakra you output, the harder it is to maintain the chakra line.
So how strong is Mr. Kimura's chakra control, since he can stably create chakra lines with such a small amount of chakra?
You know, the Hyuga clan is the best at controlling chakra.
But even within the clan, there are only a few who can have such strong chakra control.
This forced Huomen to come up with a reasonable guess:
This must be the use of a puppeteer's unique skills or secret techniques, and there should be significant limitations. For example, it can only be used on chakra lines.
Otherwise, could this commoner, Mr. Kimura, have chakra control comparable to that of the Hyuga clan masters?
But even so, Mr. Kimura, who was able to master or even create this technique, was enough to convince Hyuga Karakado.
Like many of his classmates, he had come here just to see the pocket puppet beast and had no interest in puppetry at all.
But now he no longer dared to underestimate this puppetry course, and began to sit up straight and listen carefully to the class, hoping to decipher the mystery of the chakra line...
Xiu Shu naturally had no idea how many settings Huo Men had filled in his brain.
But if he knew, he would probably just be in tears.
Because the reason why he was able to maintain the chakra line with such a small amount of chakra, in addition to his always stingy personality, was really due to his strong chakra control ability trained by using the Brain Storm Technique for many years...
In the classroom, Hideki continued to introduce the advantages of chakra lines to everyone:
"Everyone now knows that when the chakra output decreases, the concealment of chakra lines becomes better."
"Then conversely, when the chakra output increases, the chakra lines will also acquire new properties."
"First of all, high-density chakra lines are difficult to cut with ordinary weapons. Weapons that also concentrate chakra are needed to cut them off."
"But the biggest advantage is that as long as enough chakra is infused, the chakra line can change at will according to the user's wishes. It can be long or short, soft or hard, thick or thin. Its flexibility far exceeds that of steel wire."
While speaking, Hideki began to increase the chakra output of his right hand.
Then, five clearly visible chakra lines gradually emerged in the void between his right hand and the sword in his hand.
At the same time, Hideki repeated his old trick and released five shurikens connected to chakra lines from his left sleeve.
The ten chakra lines seemed to have life, changing their thickness and length as Hideki spoke, and moved freely in the air.
The shurikens were also spinning and flying in the air, driven by the chakra lines.
Sometimes they fly quickly over the little ninjas, leaving behind streams of light shining with metallic light, and sometimes they separate and combine with the chakra lines to form various patterns that are very beautiful.
The gorgeous chakra line performance made all the little ninjas, without exception, stare blankly with their mouths wide open and their heads raised.
For a moment, they forgot about the pocket puppet beasts and all that was left was their desire for the chakra line control technique...
At this moment, the chakra line in the air disappeared again, and the shurikens returned to Hideki's sleeve like a young swallow returning to its nest.
"And this is the chakra line control technique that everyone is about to learn."
As Hideki spoke softly, the little ninjas in the audience woke up from their dream and burst into loud applause.
They never imagined that the chakra lines, which they thought were ordinary, could be so cool!
They even began to doubt, can they really learn this for free without paying any price?
If Hideki knew what they were thinking, he would definitely say that classic line to them:
"All gifts from fate have already been secretly marked with a price..."
If the young ninjas want to learn the chakra line control technique he improved, they will of course have to pay the corresponding price.
You know, Hideki's puppet workshop, which hasn't been officially established yet, is still short of a lot of manpower...
