"Come on, Lin!"
"Show everyone how awesome you are!"
Amid Obito's slightly noisy cheering, Nohara Rin walked forward with a helpless smile on her face.
After nodding to Hideki, Lin reached out and grasped the tail of the puppet snake, just like Obito had just done, and began to input chakra into it.
As the chakra was injected, the puppet snake seemed to slowly wake up, gradually twisting its body starting from the tail.
One section, two sections, three sections...
Like other students, Lin had a smooth start.
However, starting from the fourth section that stumped Obito, she felt an increasingly obvious sense of blockage when inputting chakra.
It was like water flowing through an almost completely blocked pipe.
As a result, Lin began to find that controlling the puppet snake was becoming increasingly difficult.
But Lin did not give up.
She began to close her eyes, slow down her breathing, and focus all her attention on the puppet snake.
Under her full concentration and control, the puppet snake finally continued to twist its body.
Four, five, six...
Thanks to her excellent chakra control, Nohara Lin managed to overcome these difficulties.
But by the seventh period, the situation had become more serious.
Lin's brows began to frown slightly.
Because she found that the amount of chakra passing through the seventh section had become pitifully small.
With her current chakra control ability, she couldn't make the puppet snake move at all with so little chakra.
This seems to be my limit...
After several unsuccessful attempts, Lin sighed inwardly and was ready to give up.
However, at this moment, she suddenly remembered the words her teacher mentioned when introducing chakra lines.
High density of chakra lines...
Nohara Lin suddenly had an idea.
Yes!
If I can increase the density of chakra by compressing it, maybe I can inject more chakra into this puppet snake...
But this leads to a new problem.
That is, she doesn't even know how to create chakra lines, let alone compress chakra...
etc...
Lin seemed to suddenly think of something.
Because she seemed to have seen the manufacturing method of similar things somewhere...
Just now, wasn't Kimura-sensei using chakra threads to twist everyone's hair and cotton thread together to make the handle thread?
The handle thread was originally made to simulate chakra threads, so the structures of the two are likely to be very similar.
Coincidentally, due to her modest family background, Lin often assisted her mother in twisting cotton into thin threads since she was a child, and then made clothes or handkerchiefs.
So even though she didn't know how to make chakra threads, she was very familiar with how to make ordinary threads.
More importantly, Lin also recalled that every time she twisted the thread, a large ball of soft cotton could only be twisted into a small roll of tight cotton thread.
Isn't this the simplest form of compression?
So if the production of chakra threads is really similar to that of ordinary threads, then does it also mean that spinning the originally loose chakra into chakra threads can itself increase the density of the chakra?
Although it is just a guess without much basis.
However, Lin, who has always been interested in textile handicrafts, could not resist the temptation to spin chakra into thread, and subconsciously began to try it.
She first interrupted the output of chakra, and began to re-condense and sort out the chakra in her body.
Seeing that the puppet snake stopped moving, the little ninjas around thought that Lin decided to give up and were about to speak.
However, Xiushu noticed that Lin seemed to have some ideas, so he stood up at the right time, raised his middle finger in front of his lips to silence everyone and prevented everyone from disturbing Lin.
Lin, who was concentrating with her eyes closed, naturally didn't know about this little episode.
After a while, she finally opened her eyes when she was ready and reached out to the puppet snake again.
But her method this time is very different from before.
Lin only touched the puppet snake's tail lightly with her five fingers, then raised her hand again.
Then, five long strips formed by chakra were pulled out from the tips of her five fingers and the tail of the puppet snake.
Although she had tried her best to restrain the expansion of chakra, the long strips of chakra released from her fingertips were still quite thick and could not be called chakra lines at all.
But this was within her expectations, because these chakra strips were only semi-finished products.
Then Lin began to control them like twisting towels to stretch and rotate, using the most traditional twisting technique to twist the chakra into thin chakra threads.
However, similar to yarn twisted from cotton, these thin chakra threads are still very fragile.
Lin could feel that if she wasn't careful, they might break and dissipate into the air.
So she also followed the method of making cotton threads and began to twist the five chakra thin threads together, and then twisted them with each other by rotating them.
In this way, a tighter and more stable chakra line was created.
But this is not the end.
Because whether you can use it to control the puppet snake smoothly is the real test.
Lin began to carefully insert the chakra line from the puppet snake's tail into its body, extending it deeper along the thin line made of chakra conductive material...
Needless to say, the first three sections were easy for Lin to pass, even levels four, five and six.
Only when she reached the impregnable seventh level did Lin experience the familiar feeling of blockage again.
However, with the help of the chakra line she had just created, she finally broke through it.
It's a pity that Lin's chakra lines are ultimately just the product of sharpening her weapons before a battle.
When facing the more difficult eighth section, the chakra line soon broke under the heavy load and ultimately failed to break through...
But even so, her achievements are enough to make everyone look at her.
"Seven points, Lin, you are amazing!"
First, Obito on the side couldn't wait to shout loudly, as if he was proud of it.
Although Obito was a little depressed because his performance was ruthlessly crushed by Rin, the feeling of being happy for Rin still prevailed.
Because he had been paying close attention to Lin since she was a child, and he knew how hard Lin, who was born in a commoner family, worked in order to catch up with her classmates who were from the ninja clan.
The surrounding ninjas could not help but marvel at this. They had never thought that the usually inconspicuous Nohara Lin actually had such a special skill...
You have to know that up to now, there are very few students who can get more than five points, and almost all of them are children from the ninja clan.
For example, Shiranui Genma at 5 points, Asuma at 6 points, and Yuhi Kurenai at 6 points...
And basically everyone failed at the seventh level.
The only ones who succeeded in breaking through were Lin, and Hinata Karumo who got eight points thanks to his family's training.
As a teacher, Xiu Shu was extremely happy.
It's shipped! It's shipped!
He felt as excited as if he had finally drawn an SSR rare card from a krypton gold mobile game in his previous life.
After testing so many students, we finally found a gifted child!
Although Xiu Shu actually knew that Lin's test results would be very good.
Because he remembered that in the original work, although Lin's strength was not very good, she once used the Palm Fairy Technique to treat Kakashi.
You have to know that this is a highly difficult A-level medical ninjutsu. Even in the medical class, only a few elites can learn it.
The reason why the Palm Immortal Technique is difficult to learn is that it requires precise adjustment of the amount of Yang Release Chakra according to the specific situation of the wound or affected area.
If an overdose is administered, it will damage the patient's normal circulatory system and even cause the patient to fall into a coma.
Therefore, the prerequisite for mastering the Palm Immortal Technique is to have excellent chakra control.
And since Nohara Rin will be able to learn the Palm Fairy Technique in the future, her chakra control ability will naturally not be too bad now.
But Xiu Shu also felt that for Lin, who came from a commoner family, getting five or six points was already a very good result.
So when Xiu Shu saw Lin got seven points, he was also a little surprised.
But what surprised him the most was that Lin actually mastered the method of creating chakra lines.
And judging from Lin's performance just now, this method was something she came up with on the spur of the moment.
Although it was only the most primitive and rough chakra line, it was a remarkable achievement for a seven-year-old girl.
You should know that one of the important reasons why Hideki came to teach at the Ninja School was to train assistants who could help him share the research and development work.
Just like Kabuto Yakushi to Orochimaru.
Lin, who has good chakra control and has shown innovative development capabilities, is undoubtedly a very good candidate.
Even Lin's commoner background is a big plus.
Because no matter how good the chakra control and IQ of those children from the ninja clan are, it is almost impossible for them to spend all their time practicing puppetry, let alone become his assistant.
Therefore, although Lin, who possesses the three major advantages, may not be as strong as many of her classmates, she is an absolute prize for Xiushu!
The only thing that makes Xiushu a little regretful is that although Lin is a child with many good qualities, she still has a big shortcoming.
That is, as Obito's sweetheart, Nohara Rin is likely to be sacrificed as a sacrifice for Obito to awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan in the future under the design of Uchiha Madara.
Although Hideki's appearance has made the future unpredictable.
But as long as Obito continues to like Rin and Uchiha Madara continues to choose Obito as the executor of his plans, this tragic future is likely to happen.
——But that would eventually happen in about six years.
Hideki would never give up the talent in front of him for something that might not happen until many years later.
Not to mention that he actually admired the kind and strong Nohara Rin in the original work since his previous life, and felt sorry for her death.
However, if he is asked to fight with Uchiha Madara in the future because of this, I'm sorry that Hideki really can't do it.
As a time traveler, although he has lived here for many years, he is still somewhat separated from this ninja world.
Therefore, his principle has always been to take care of himself first, and then choose to help others when he can.
However, if it was just to teach knowledge and give this poor little girl a chance to change her fate, Hideki would be very happy.
After making up his mind, Hideki began to speak to Lin in a gentle tone:
"Nohara-san, are you interested in becoming a real puppeteer?"
