It is now mid-September, the third week after school starts.
At this point, the heated debate over the puppetry class had actually died down.
However, the appearance of new toys and chakra carving knives was like a depth bomb, shocking the entire ninja school again.
As a result, the puppetry class easily regained the top spot in the Ninja School.
By the way, the second place is whether Mr. Kimura has a girlfriend...
But in fact, compared with new toys, the Chakra Carving Knife did not attract much attention.
Because in the ninja world, keeping ninjutsu secret is a matter of course.
So even though Hideki didn't instruct them, the apprentices in the workshop still reached a consensus not to reveal the specific information of the chakra carving knife to other students.
Therefore, other students thought that Chakra carving was just a technique used in handicrafts and did not take it too seriously.
On the contrary, the new toys quickly became popular throughout the school thanks to the workshop apprentices' vigorous promotion.
"Toys? We are not three or four-year-old kids anymore, how can we still like playing with toys?"
Many little kids scoffed at this at first.
But when they saw the new toys produced by the workshop with their own eyes, they were all instantly attracted to them and exclaimed how delicious they were.
Don't blame them for being weak-willed.
After all, the first batch of toys launched by Hideki are all classics that have stood the test of time.
For these little kids who have only played with toy kunai and toy shurikens, this will naturally be a dimensionality reduction attack.
Not to mention that these toys have been carefully selected by Xiu Shu and almost cover the needs of all types of children.
For example, yo-yo is loved by children of big ninja clans such as the Uchiha clan because of its high operability and convenience in showing off skills.
For ordinary boys, gyroscope battles are a good choice as they are easy to learn and exciting.
If the little girls don't like showing off or fighting, then the cute toy wood carvings will definitely satisfy them.
Although the prototypes of the wood carvings are all heroes of Konoha's past, this does not prevent the girls from using them to perform various house-playing scenes.
However, according to screenwriter and director Yuhi Kurenai, there was a severe shortage of female woodcarvers, so they could only use some male woodcarvers to play the role of the characters.
As a special guest, Hideki saw the wood carving of Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara in a love scene...
Because he was worried that Madara-sama would come and say something to him from the bottom of his heart one day, Hideki made a bunch of wood carvings of Uzumaki Mito overnight.
However, the scene where Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama were showing affection to each other while playing house did not seem to have completely disappeared.
This made Xiu Shu ponder whether he had accidentally awakened some strange habit in these little girls...
——Even if the toys above do not suit your taste, there are still educational toys suitable for all ages to choose from, which will definitely make everyone willing to play with them.
In particular, the Rubik's Cube that Hideki highly recommended was loved by the smart students, especially the children of the Nara family.
What's more, these kids are really smart and talented.
In less than two days, they had already summarized the general formula for solving the 3x3 Rubik's Cube.
So, children like Yuhi Kurenai, who are both inexperienced and love to play, can finally experience the joy of playing with the Rubik's Cube.
However, Hideki has a love-hate relationship with these Rubik's Cube scientists.
Although their research helped promote the Rubik's Cube, it also turned this toy from an intellectual toy into a toy for memorizing formulas and competing in hand speed, losing Hideki's original intention of letting everyone use it to exercise spatial thinking ability.
In order to prevent them from harming other educational toys, Hideki decided to lure them with a pocket puppet beast as a reward and gave them a very interesting Rubik's Cube problem:
How many steps are needed to solve a randomly shuffled Rubik's Cube?
This question doesn't seem difficult at first glance, and there is a pocket puppet beast as a prize.
So in addition to these smart people who started to study this problem day and night, many other students and even teachers also participated in this prize-winning competition.
I can only express my deepest sympathy for this.
Because in his previous life, scientists had conducted decades of research on this issue, but had not reached a clear conclusion.
It was not until the development of science and technology that scientists, with the help of computers, finally found God's number 20, which had troubled Rubik's Cube enthusiasts for many years.
If the computing resources they used were converted into ordinary home computers, it would take a full 35 years to get the answer...
However, Hideki has great confidence in the intelligence of the Nara clan children and believes that they should be able to solve this problem before Boruto begins.
Although this little incident was resolved, two days later, Hideki faced another problem that made him even more embarrassed...
That was the magic of the new toy, which seemed even more exaggerated than he had expected.
This is naturally a great thing for a workshop that has not yet officially opened, but it is not an interesting thing for the Ninja School.
Because everyone is so enthusiastic about toys, it has begun to affect the normal teaching order.
Although the children are precocious, they are still just kids under ten years old, and we cannot demand too much from them in terms of self-control.
I didn't indulge in fun before, simply because there was really nothing fun to do, and it was not even as interesting as cultivation.
But now with these toys as examples, the little ninjas' enthusiasm for learning suddenly dropped a level.
In order to deal with this situation, the Ninja School quickly formulated a new rule:
students are strictly prohibited from bringing toys into the campus. If found, they will be confiscated!
As the instigator, Hideki himself was invited to the Hokage's office for tea again.
"Pocket puppet beast, puppetry workshop, work-study, and now there's this new toy..."
"Xiu Shu, Xiu Shu, how can you be so annoying?"
In the Hokage's office, the Sandaime sighed helplessly.
Xiu Shu, on the other hand, stood obediently in front of the desk, with his head bowed, looking humbly accepting instruction.
But he secretly complained in his heart:
"Sandaime, before you say that, please put down the Rubik's Cube in your hand..."
It seems that anyone who has a little confidence in his or her IQ will find it difficult to get rid of the temptation from the Rubik's Cube.
However, the Sandaime is indeed very talented in this area.
He just took a Rubik's Cube from Hideki, but he successfully restored it in a short while. He is worthy of being called Dr. Ninja.
Resisting the urge to play again, the Sandaime put the Rubik's Cube into the drawer, then ignored Hideki's strange look and began to speak earnestly:
"Hideki, I know you invented these toys to enrich the entertainment activities for children so that they can combine work and rest."
"This is indeed a good intention, but we still have to be careful about the degree."
Although Hideki hasn't told many people the reason for combining work and rest.
However, thanks to the spontaneous promotion of Lin and Hong who had heard of this idea, it has gradually become widely known.
The third generation had naturally heard about it, and he quite agreed with it.
In his spare time, he would occasionally use a telescope to inspect the girls' bathhouse, thus practicing the principle of combining work with rest.
He even sympathized with the martial arts master who proposed this theory...
So he didn't blame Xiu Shu too much for the school incident. He just sighed and said,
"Now everyone's mind has gone wild. It may not be easy to get back to the right track."
"Hideki, do you have any solution?"
As the main culprit, Hideki naturally had to give some advice to the third generation.
He first said in a comforting tone:
"Hokage-sama, I actually think this problem is not as serious as you think."
"Children just engage in revengeful play because they have been repressed for too long."
"After a while, when they are completely bored, they will naturally settle down..."
This is indeed what Hideki really thinks. He thinks the Sandaime and the others are a little overwhelmed.
But it is obvious that this plan cannot satisfy the third generation.
So Hideki quickly added:
"Of course, if you want to speed up the process, I actually have a way."
"And if used properly, it might even turn a bad thing into a good thing..."
