Are you interested in becoming a real puppeteer?
Obviously, just learning some puppet-controlling techniques in this puppetry class does not make one a real puppeteer.
Therefore, Hideki's intention was undoubtedly to ask Lin whether she was willing to embark on the path of becoming a puppeteer and start to learn puppetry in a comprehensive and in-depth manner under him.
As the saying goes, the Dharma should not be passed on lightly.
In the ninja world, the inheritance of ninjutsu or secret techniques has always been a very serious matter.
Especially in Konoha, because successive Hokage have tried to use the master-disciple system to dismantle the old ninja clan system, they attach great importance to the matter of accepting disciples.
However, the young ninjas present, including Lin, did not seem to be surprised by Mr. Kimura's sudden invitation to accept them as disciples.
Because...
Teacher Kimura has just repeated this sentence too many times!
As long as the student's chakra control score is more than five points, he will ask if the student is interested in becoming a real puppeteer...
Bah, scumbag!
We have been surprised several times before, so by now we are a little numb...
And according to what Mr. Kimura said before, this is not a serious topic like finding a successor.
To be honest, it's more like a craftsman recruiting apprentices to help him.
And in fact, this is exactly the case.
In order to avoid trouble, Xiu Shu did not even use the words "accepting a disciple".
He just said that he was going to open a workshop, and if anyone was interested in puppet making, they could go there to visit and practice during normal times.
As for the fact that the products of their practice will become commercial products, just treat it as an unexpected surprise.
Although the third generation has not yet approved the work-study program for cooperation between schools and workshops.
But this did not prevent Xiushu from recruiting a few talented students to work as apprentices in the workshop and establishing the basic framework of the workshop.
When the work-study program is officially implemented, these students should have mastered basic manufacturing techniques and can be promoted to foremen to help Xiushu train new apprentices...
Although Hideki's idea was perfect, his headhunting plan didn't seem to be going smoothly at this time.
Because even if they don't accept apprentices directly, going to the workshop to learn puppet making techniques will take up a lot of children's time and energy.
For the young ninjas, this is undoubtedly an important choice that will affect their future ninja career.
So Hideki invited several students, but none of them gave a direct affirmative answer.
And Nohara Rin, who was being asked the question now, was no exception and looked a little hesitant.
Although Lin was born into a commoner family, unlike the ninja clan's children who had to learn family secrets, she had no time to join the workshop.
But Xiushu looked through Lin's information and knew that the child had been taking medical training courses since last school year, so he also knew what she was struggling with.
Compared to the puppeteer who has a bad reputation in Konoha, a medical ninja who can save the dying and the wounded is obviously more attractive.
Therefore, it may not be easy to make Lin change her mind and embark on the path of becoming a puppeteer.
However, since Nohara Lin is willing to attend the second puppetry class, it means that she is still quite interested in this course, and Hideki still has a chance.
So he did not feel disappointed as before, but nodded and smiled:
"Nohara, you don't have to give me an answer now."
"Think about it carefully when you get back. It would be best if you could discuss it with your parents and try to make a decision that you won't regret."
"And my workshop will be officially opened next weekend. Nohara, why don't you go visit it first and then make a decision..."
In fact, Nohara Lin has always aspired to become a medical ninja who saves lives and heals the wounded since she was a child, and this dream has not changed until now.
To be honest, if the puppetry class had not overlapped with the medical class, she would not even have come to attend the second class.
Although in this class, she did discover that she had a talent for puppetry, and she also experienced a lot of fun in the process of creating chakra lines.
But it was impossible for her to give up and become a medical ninja.
However, she couldn't just refuse Mr. Kimura's cordial invitation.
So she just thought it would be okay to go and take a look, and nodded and agreed:
"I will definitely go to visit when the time comes, Mr. Kimura."
However, what she didn't know was that after getting her answer that she would visit the workshop, Hideki almost couldn't suppress the urge to smile.
No, you can't laugh yet, you have to be patient…
Poor little girl!
It seems that Lin has forgotten how she was tricked by a little black cat to come here to attend classes...
In order to make the students willing to become apprentices in the workshop, Xiu Shu had naturally prepared a lot of arrangements.
Once Lin enters the workshop for a visit, it won't be easy to escape unscathed...
After Rin, who knew nothing about it, left with Obito, holding the handle made of her own hair, Hideki continued to test the students behind him.
In his previous life, his luck in the lottery had always been at the level of an African chief.
In this lifetime, his luck doesn't seem to have improved much.
Because after the SSR photo of Nohara Rin was revealed, no student could impress him anymore.
But it's actually quite scientific.
Students who are confident in their chakra control have already lined up to complete the test in order to play with the pocket puppet beast as soon as possible.
As a result, the number of students qualified to become the first batch of apprentices in the workshop seems to be insufficient.
Fortunately, there are still many students in the school who have not taken this course.
Therefore, Xiu Shu's next goal is to try to get all the students in the school to take a test during the one-month training course selection period...
…
A few days passed quickly.
Today, the Hidden Leaf Village is still peaceful.
However, Hideki was not in the Hidden Leaf Village at this time, but was in the Konoha Forest not far from the village.
He was holding a map in his hand and a black cat was following him. The man and the cat were walking deep into the Konoha Forest.
Huge trees that are so big that more than a dozen people can barely hug them can be seen everywhere, as if each one has gone through hundreds of years.
The dense tree canopy blocks out the sun, and the sunlight can only be seen in spots, sprinkling on the bushes and grass below.
The air is filled with the scent of moist earth and the unique fragrance of forest vegetation.
Occasionally, the sound of birds chirping only serves to highlight the depth and tranquility of this place.
Even the beautiful trees walking among them couldn't help but slow down their pace, for fear of disturbing the beauty and tranquility of the forest at that moment.
But he did not forget his mission here today.
That is to collect as many useful materials as possible for the workshop that is about to open...
