Pupet Master in Konoha

After a specially organized demonstration by Hideki, the little ninjas became very interested in learning how to manipulate chakra threads.

Hideki naturally hoped that everyone would join the great family of puppet classes and contribute to the development of his puppet system.

But as part of his professional ethics as a teacher, he had to cool everyone's enthusiasm a bit and changed the topic:

"Of course, chakra threads are not without their flaws..."

"First, as I mentioned earlier, the output, configuration, and manipulation of chakra threads require the user to have excellent chakra control, which cannot be mastered overnight."

"Secondly, there's the issue of chakra consumption."

"Especially for ninjas with average chakra control, if they want the puppet they're controlling to have enough speed and destructive power, they must continuously produce large amounts of chakra."

"Even if you want to achieve cutting ability like steel wires, you need a high-density chakra thread that condenses a lot of chakra."

"So, considering cost-effectiveness, ninjas have historically been more inclined to use steel wires to control ninja tools, rather than using precious chakra to create chakra threads."

"And this situation didn't start to change until the second Kazekage, Shamon, invented the puppet technique..."

Hideki paused for a moment to give the little ninjas in the audience time to digest this information.

He then continued his lecture:

"Perhaps you don't know, but although Kazekage Shamon invented the puppet technique, puppets themselves existed before that."

"And their original origin is the traditional mechanism technique."

"Mechanism jutsu is a branch in the history of ninja tools development."

"Its most important feature is that it can control things intelligently with the help of mechanical energy, achieving magical effects beyond the reach of humans."

"Everyone should have learned some simple trap design methods in school. That is actually the most basic trap technique."

"And the so-called puppets were originally just a means to hide weapons inside them to assassinate enemies."

"It's just that, back in the day, people generally used steel wires and mechanical structures to operate and control puppets."

"This also led to puppets at that time having rigid movements or being very heavy and difficult to use directly in combat."

After saying this, Hideki suddenly noticed that more and more little ninjas were staring at his sleeves.

It seemed like everyone had figured out his routine and subconsciously thought a little puppet might pop out for a demonstration...

But how could Hideki make it that easy for them to guess?

He slightly raised his hand, and then a loud "cuckoo" sound echoed through the warehouse.

The little ninjas, who had been fooled earlier, quickly looked up.

They then saw a round red bird perched on the beam above the high platform.

Before the little ninjas could react, it kicked forward with both feet, ready to stretch its wings and fly...

Then, in the next moment, without fluttering in the air a few times, it fell straight down like a red comet, creating a large crater on the solid high platform...

What... the hell is this?

The little ninjas were speechless at this unexpected development. They could only watch in confusion as Hideki made an effort to pull the fat bird out of the hole with a chakra thread, like pulling a carrot...

After placing the fat bird, Hideki couldn't help but wipe his sweat and said:

"This is the traditional puppet I restored based on the classics. Although there was a small accident, it helps everyone more intuitively understand why I said they're... too bulky..."

Only then did the little ninjas see the true appearance of the fat red bird.

It looked like a plump red owl, but this time, none of the students confused it with a living creature.

The accident just now, of course, was one reason, but the main thing was the appearance of the owl.

Just like the human model in biology class, its appearance was actually split in half.

One half was a living red owl, while the other half was exposed, showing the complex mechanical structure inside the puppet.

For the sake of demonstration, Hideki didn't use chakra threads this time; instead, he went back to basics and shot a few wires from his sleeves to connect to the puppet owl and used them to control it.

Then, under Hideki's control, the owl began to flap its wings clumsily and then moved its legs back and forth on the high platform.

The little ninjas could directly see how complicated the mechanical device inside it was, transforming the master's control into the puppet's movements.

At that moment, they truly understood what the master had just said.

This traditional puppet is full of various mechanical devices. How could it not be cumbersome?

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Hideki immediately withdrew the wires, nodded, and said:

"What changes this situation is, of course, the chakra thread."

Then the tips of Hideki's right fingers shot out several clearly visible chakra threads.

Once connected, the owl, which had stopped moving, began to move again, and its movements were much more agile than before.

"As you can see, the extremely high maneuverability of chakra threads makes it very easy to replace steel wires to control puppets, and the effect is even better."

"What's more important is that, as long as you master enough skills, many of the mechanical structures of the puppet can even be replaced by chakra threads."

Following Hideki's words, another very curious scene appeared in front of the little ninjas:

The mechanical devices inside the owl actually began to fly and fall off onto the high platform one by one, but the owl was still hopping around lively on stage.

Since Hideki deliberately didn't hide the chakra threads this time, everyone could clearly see that once each mechanical device flew off, there would be chakra threads to complement its position, thus replacing the function of the first device.

As more and more mechanical devices were replaced, the owl's movements became lighter and more flexible.

Yes, my stomach is almost empty, how could I not be flexible?

Hideki continued his explanation:

"As you can see, depending on the level of chakra thread control of the puppeteer, in addition to weapons, most of the puppet's mechanical structures can gradually be replaced by chakra threads."

"This not only reduces the possibility of mechanical failure, but the biggest benefit is that it greatly reduces the weight of the puppet."

"That way, the puppet is no longer a cumbersome trap that can only be used for assassinations, but a true killing machine that can gallop on the battlefield."

"The hidden weapon inside the puppet also eliminates the need to concentrate too much chakra to increase the lethality of the chakra thread. You only need to focus on control."

"Even in terms of control, chakra threads can use the principles of pulleys and levers to reduce consumption."

"It's not hard to see that chakra threads and puppets simply compensate for each other's deficiencies while making the advantages of both sides more prominent. It's a match made in heaven."

When Hideki said this, there were few remaining mechanical devices in the owl's body.

The owl, which had originally struggled to walk, was now moving as fast as flying, even using the long high platform as a runway, and its speed grew faster and faster...

Finally, with another sharp "whoosh" sound, the owl lunged forward just as it reached the edge of the high platform...
