The camera returns to the ground again.
At this time, Nakamura had lost his balance due to a sudden feeling of dizziness and fell to the ground with a thud.
Moreover, the feeling of dizziness did not disappear because of the pain of falling. Instead, it became more intense, making it difficult for Nakamura to even maintain his chakra lines.
The mantis puppet not far away immediately stopped moving and stood quietly in place.
Then dark red blood began to flow from the corners of Nakamura's mouth.
Feeling that his life seemed to be slipping away, Nakamura's hysterical eyes gradually began to clear up and he realized what was happening...
Ah, that poison needle at the beginning...
I didn't expect that even after cutting off my lower leg and taking so many antidotes specially made by Chiyo-sama, I still couldn't escape...
Kimura Hideki, how many secrets do you have?
But all this has nothing to do with Nakamura.
At the moment of his death, his eyes, which were beginning to blur, happened to see a small piece of wood on the ground not far away. It must have fallen out of his arms when he fell.
Nakamura forced a self-deprecating smile.
I even laughed at Hideki Kimura for losing his life because of this piece of wood.
It turned out that he was the fool who let down his guard because of the wood and thus lost his life easily.
"The moment the enemy captures the prey is the best time to launch a sneak attack..."
"The one who really didn't understand this sentence was me..."
At this point, Nakamura's groggy brain could no longer support his thoughts. His eyelids felt incredibly heavy, so he finally closed his eyes...
The last scene he saw in his life was the corpse puppet with the appearance of Kimura Hideki staggering towards him, releasing strands of chakra from the fingertips, slowly reaching towards him...
…
After the battle was won, the much-loved corpse-touching segment naturally came.
However, Xiu Shu still sat in the dungeon, with no intention of leaving.
Because to be honest, he actually has special skills in touching corpses...
Under Hideki's control, a small passage was formed at the top of the dungeon. Then, various objects began to fall in front of Hideki along the passage under the guidance of the chakra lines.
A Sunagakure standard ninja tool bag, a puppeteer tool bag, about 50,000 ryo in total, a notebook, a bounty order, and a bunch of other stuff...
Obviously, these were the spoils that Hideki was collecting from his enemies using chakra lines.
Using chakra lines to touch corpses is a good habit that Xiushu has developed over the years.
Because of his strong chakra control, Xiu Shu can use chakra lines to find all the useful things on the corpse in great detail without missing anything.
Secondly, of course, Hideki was also worried about the possibility that the enemy would be so crazy as to transform his own corpse into a death trap.
After all, he often does this himself, although he uses that dummy puppet...
In short, as long as the chakra lines are checked, the possibility of mechanical traps or poison on objects and corpses can be basically ruled out.
However, even so, Hideki had no intention of reaching out to touch these things, and continued to use chakra lines to further examine them.
There's nothing much to say about the ninja tool bag, tool kit, money, and some sundries; they're just a small subsidy.
As Hideki had expected, the notes did not contain much useful information. They only recorded some daily expenses and experiences during the trip.
Apart from finally finding out that the guy he killed was named Nakamura, Hideki didn't gain much.
But this is also very normal.
The situation where villains carry around secret manuals probably only happens in novels.
So Xiu Shu was not disappointed. After all, there was still a puppet on the ground waiting to be recovered, so he was making a profit anyway.
So Hideki's attention quickly turned to the bounty order.
His name, Hideki Kimura, was clearly written on it.
"A bounty of 30 million taels, regardless of life or death. It seems that the Sand Village really hates me..."
Although Hideki had a premonition of this day, he did not expect it to come so soon.
You know, he hasn't even finished his internship as a teacher.
It is not difficult to imagine that assassinations like this will continue to occur in the future.
But Hideki wasn't too worried yet.
Because if the Sand Village really regarded him as a serious threat, they would not issue a wanted order, but would directly send an elite team to behead him.
Since Hideki is very particular about hiding, in the eyes of the Sand Village, his level of puppetry has not yet reached the point where he needs to be eliminated at all costs.
Of course, as Hideki teaches and builds his workshop, Sand Village's opinion of him will probably rise sharply, to the point where it becomes intolerable.
Therefore, Xiu Shu must accumulate enough strength before this to cope with the increasingly severe tests in the future...
…
After using the Earth Ryuukyu Technique to sink Nakamura's body underground and then using the storage scroll to recover the two puppets, Hideki ended his first exploration of the Valley of the End and returned to the Hidden Leaf Village.
Although he was carrying a bounty of 30 million taels, Hideki's life did not change significantly afterwards, and he still did what he had to do.
After all, he seldom leaves the village now.
Even the most powerful bounty hunter would not dare to openly attack the ninjas of Konoha in the village.
Otherwise, even if he got the bounty, he might not live to spend it.
The only risk is that Hideki still needs to go to the Konoha Forest from time to time to find useful chakra conduction materials.
Whether it is for the workshop or to strengthen his puppet, materials are an indispensable part for Xiu Shu, and he will never give up because of the danger.
Moreover, with the triple protection of radar perception technique, dummy puppet and earth dragon hiding technique, Xiushu is still very confident in protecting himself.
But Hideki probably doesn't have much time to collect materials these days.
With the help of Dean Kamp, the workshop project has progressed very quickly and has entered the countdown to its official opening.
Although the real workshop has not been built yet, Kemp has connected several rooms on the first floor of the orphanage to serve as a temporary workshop, which is sufficient for simple production work.
The materials and tools purchased by Hideki at Ninju Manden-do are also arriving one after another, and production can begin at any time.
Now the only apprentices left who are in charge of the core production links are not in place.
But it doesn't matter, because Hideki's weekend visit to the workshop for students has quietly arrived…
…
The open space in front of the orphanage gate on a weekend morning.
Many children were chasing and playing in the open space, and the laughter was endless.
Amidst the laughter, there were two figures who were also children but looked somewhat out of place, staring at the children with confused expressions.
"Lin, are you sure you got the address right?"
Kurenai Yuhi, who was wearing a red dress, asked hesitantly.
Lin, who was standing beside her, was dressed the same as usual, but she also said with some uncertainty:
"I...I also followed the address given by the teacher, so it shouldn't be wrong..."
Today is the day when Mr. Kimura invites students who are at the top of the chakra control level to visit his workshop.
Both Yuhi Kurenai and Nohara Rin were invited, so they came here together.
But the scene before them really made the two little girls a little confused.
After all, they were clearly going to a workshop.
But no matter how you look at it, the building in front of you is an orphanage!
