After hearing the introduction to the points system and giving it careful consideration, Obito was the only one who ultimately chose special training.
Even Asuma, who had regained his identity as the Hokage's son, decided to hold off on this option for now.
The points wouldn't disappear, so he decided to wait until his previous gains were fully digested before seeking special training from the master.
Since these points were earned through hard work, setting up a booth, he certainly had to make the most of them.
Hideki had previously given some advice to Rin, and she began combining medical ninjutsu with puppetry.
She expressed her desire to learn the suturing activation technique that Hideki had performed.
Due to insufficient points, Hideki gave her a scroll that recorded several simple uses of chakra threads as a training goal for the first stage of this technique.
Kurenai Yuhi, half-jokingly, asked to have a date with the master.
Sadly, Hideki replied that while he was an artist, he was not a person, and he ruthlessly rejected the little Lolita's invitation.
So Kurenai could only hold on to her points angrily, preparing to exchange them for her own puppet beast.
Given that the reward was only surpassed by master guide, it would probably take Kurenai a long time to achieve her goal.
Genma, Ebisu, and Ibiki came from common backgrounds and valued these hard-earned points greatly.
After careful consideration, they also decided to save their points and wait for the official announcement of the points plan before choosing the most worthwhile reward.
Afterward, Hideki announced the dissolution of the meeting, allowing everyone to go home and rest.
However, all the young ninjas agreed to set up more booths to earn more points.
Hideki was also happy with the outcome, so after reminding them to be careful, he took Obito and left the barbecue restaurant.
…
Since Obito was practicing the Fireball Jutsu, Hideki took him to a remote and uninhabited riverside in the village.
"That's all. Obito, please demonstrate first and let me see what your specific problem is."
"Got it."
Obito went to the river, skillfully formed the seals, took a deep breath, and then exhaled forcefully.
A fireball the size of a fist crossed the river…
Before it even reached the other side, the fireball was already burning in mid-air…
Suddenly, some black lines appeared on Hideki's forehead as he silently asked:
"Obito-san, what kind of ninjutsu is this?"
"Hao... no, it's the small fireball technique."
Obito scratched his head and said with a guilty expression.
He felt that if he dared to say it was the Fireball Technique, his ancestor Uchiha Madara might be so angry that he'd rise from his grave...
Unexpectedly, Hideki nodded repeatedly with an astonished expression on his face:
"I was wondering why the fireball was so small. Turns out it's a small fireball technique."
"I think Obito, you've mastered this technique. It seems like special training may end soon..."
"Master, I don't want that!"
Obito quickly hugged Hideki's waist with both hands and shouted: "It's the Fireball Technique. I know I was wrong! Master Hideki, please save the child!"
Unexpectedly, Hideki's voice suddenly came from behind him: "If you know you're wrong, go ahead and demonstrate a few more times. What are you doing holding a tree stump all the time?"
Obito blinked a couple of times and realized that the master he was holding had turned into a wooden stake at some point.
The real master Hideki had already found a stone to sit on, then took out a book and began reading.
Was it really necessary to use substitution techniques to deal with the students?
Obito complained inwardly, but no longer dared to make any more jokes. He obediently went back to the river and started forming seals.
"Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Hideki looked up and then the corner of his mouth twisted again.
Because what Obito released this time wasn't even a fireball, it was just a ball of uncondensed flames.
And since the distance was so short, Obito almost got burned by the flames and was so scared that he wet his pants.
The two stared at each other in silence for a while, but Obito finally gave in and continued going back to the river to form seals.
"Great Fireball Jutsu!"
"Great Fireball Jutsu!"
"Great Fireball Jutsu!"
After repeating it several times, Hideki stood up and stepped forward to ask Obito to stop. He then began commenting seriously:
"Fireballs, fire pillars, fire walls… previously there was only smoke…"
"I have to say, the same ninjutsu can have different effects every time it's used. This is also a rare talent."
"Really, Master?"
Obito said with a look of surprise.
"Of course… it's false!"
Hideki poked Obito's forehead with his finger and said: "This just means that Obito, you don't control your chakra properly!"
Obito covered his forehead and said bitterly:
"I've worked so hard, but it just doesn't listen!"
"And I usually perform better when practicing alone, but I don't know why I can't do it when someone is watching..."
Hideki also rubbed his chin and began to think.
In fact, he noticed that Obito always lost control when in front of others.
It was likely that the child had always wanted to be recognized by others, so once in front of people, he tended to exert too much force and was unable to perform to his true potential, eventually forming a vicious circle.
This phenomenon of deformed movements under pressure was a problem many professional athletes encountered in Hideki's past life.
But in reality, it wasn't a big problem.
As long as Obito felt he was really getting stronger and had confidence, this issue would eventually disappear.
Then Hideki began to analyze with Obito: "The Fireball Jutsu consumes a lot of chakra. Obito, if you can use it so many times in a row, it means you haven't accumulated enough chakra in your throat."
"Also, you're having a lot of problems with form. Ultimately, it still comes down to insufficient chakra control."
"So my suggestion is that instead of wasting so much chakra practicing the Fireball Jutsu, you should first develop your chakra control."
"That way, when you learn the Fireball Jutsu in the future, you'll get twice the result with half the effort."
"As for the specific method..."
"The simplest thing is Obito, if you continue working hard to practice controlling the Pocket Puppet Beast, your chakra control will gradually improve."
Obito asked:
"Master, if this is the method, when can I officially start practicing the Fireball Jutsu?"
Hideki tilted his head and made an estimate: "If all goes well, school will probably start next semester..."
"After all, controlling the puppet beast is practicing how to generate chakra steadily, and the Fireball Jutsu requires gathering a large amount of chakra in the body and then releasing it all at once."
"Although they're both related to chakra control, they are in different directions, so naturally, the effects won't be immediate."
"That's too much!"
Obito seemed eager to master the Fireball technique as soon as possible and seemed to have some purpose.
He then started pleading with his big, bulging eyes: "Master, can't you use your invincible puppet to think of a solution?"
"For example, the previous martial arts techniques from the human body..."
Unfortunately, Hideki didn't have shooting control, so he wouldn't accept this trick and said seriously:
"The theory is possible, but I haven't developed it to that point yet, master."
"Especially you, Obito, you still practice the very dangerous Fire Ladder Jutsu."
"If you're not careful, your life could be in danger. There's no need for us to take such a big risk."
When Obito heard this, he also shrank his neck, looking a little sad.
In fact, the reason he wanted to learn the powerful Fireball Jutsu early was because the clan would soon hold a traditional festival.
As a side event and self-exhibition, the children would perform on stage.
And this year, it was Obito's age group…
But this time, Obito didn't want to make a big scene.
It was just that his grandmother, who depended on him for life, had difficulty walking far due to her uncomfortable legs and feet, so she was very happy when the festival took place within the clan every year.
Obito, on the other hand, hoped that at least on that day, he wouldn't be the laughingstock of everyone and ruin his grandmother's good mood...
But now it seemed there were no shortcuts to practicing, and Obito could only think of another way to figure out what kind of performance wouldn't embarrass his grandmother.
But at that moment, the voice of Master Hideki sounded like the sound of nature:
"Actually... it's not impossible..."
"If you're willing to endure hardship, Obito, then I have a quick method..."
"Master, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Obito jumped up excitedly, "Tell me the solution quickly!"
"Obito, are you sure?"
Hideki's expression suddenly turned a little strange, and he began speaking meaningfully:
"Although this practice method doesn't endanger your life, it definitely won't make you feel good."
"Without enough determination, you're more likely to give up halfway."
"I won't refund the points you spent on it."
Obito was so scared by the master's words that he swallowed his saliva, but thinking of the festival not far away, he finally made a decision and said: "Master, I won't regret it. Please help me practice this way!"
Seeing that Obito had made up his mind, Hideki no longer tried to persuade him.
He told Obito to rest here for now, and then go home to prepare the training materials.
When he returned, he already had a strange black helmet in his hand.
"Master, is this what you call a teaching material? It looks ugly."
Obito, who had been impatiently waiting, quickly stepped forward to examine it, but the sight of the helmet immediately deterred him.
It's better than the mask you'll wear in the future.
Hideki mentally complained, but on the surface, he explained seriously:
"I modeled this helmet after a foreign warrior called Darth Vader. Some aesthetic differences are normal."
"According to legend, he was originally a pure, kind, and brave warrior."
"He was later gradually eroded by the dark side because he couldn't prevent the death of his mother and wife, and he eventually became a ruthless, vicious warrior."
"Even though I'm giving you this helmet, Obito, I hope you can take it as a warning."
"Even if you gain strength in the future, don't take the path he did..."
At this moment, Obito still didn't understand why Hideki said this, so he could only nod, confused.
