Pupet Master in Konoha

The strength of a golem mainly depends on two factors.

One is the skill of the creator, including the puppet's design, the use of mechanism techniques, and even the drawing of seals and runes.

The second, of course, is the materials used to craft the puppets.

Especially high-performance puppets require many chakra-conductive materials because they need to draw several runes and spells.

Since these materials can conduct chakra, they have been widely used in important fields such as talismans, barriers, and advanced ninja tools.

Therefore, they have always been considered as the most important strategic resources by various countries and are very scarce in the market.

When Hideki first learned to handle puppets by himself, he was restricted for a long time by the lack of chakra-conductive materials since he couldn't rely on the village, unlike the puppet master of Sunagakure.

He had to think creatively, using hair for the puppet strings due to his previous experience...

Even now, many of the materials for his puppets are taken from beneath the puppets of other puppet masters...

But now, Hideki is no longer in the stage where only one person is satisfied while the whole family goes hungry.

The students' practice, the products from the workshop, and even the improvement of his own puppets require the use of chakra-conductive materials.

Although once the courses and workshops are up and running, the village should provide a certain quota, relying solely on fragments of information from other departments won't satisfy Hideki's grand plan.

Therefore, Hideki had to become self-sufficient and find ways to acquire more sources of chakra-conductive materials.

Naturally, Hideki was fully prepared to find such materials.

In fact, long ago, older ninjas who used mechanism or sealing techniques had already invented ways to locate chakra-conductive materials.

According to the records, materials that can conduct chakra do not naturally exist in the ninja world.

Whether metallic chakra or animal and plant materials, they often absorb high concentrations of chakra over many years before they acquire the ability to conduct chakra.

The most common source of high-concentration chakra is, of course, the famous Nine-Tailed Beasts.

They like to sleep for decades, and the chakra leaking from their bodies is enough to allow local animals, plants, and even minerals with high adaptability to acquire the ability to conduct chakra.

Some animals and plants can even rapidly develop new features based on different environments, eventually becoming creatures that can refine chakra on their own.

Among the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure, Samehada is one of the best.

It has been following Sanbi Iso for many years and even acquired the ability to actively swallow and transfer chakra.

The method used by ninjas in the past to find new materials was actually quite simple: infuse chakra into various materials.

Based on the difference in chakra conductivity, the quality of this material could be roughly judged.

And Hideki, relying on his creative thinking combined with the powerful chakra control he obtained from this training, even created a more sophisticated detection method based on his predecessors.

By infusing chakra into materials, he can clearly capture the basic physical properties of the materials, such as density, ductility, hardness, and more.

More importantly, Hideki can even detect a substance resembling a vein that is half-virtual and half-solid, hidden deep within the material.

After many experiments, Hideki concluded that these veins are the fundamental reason materials can conduct chakra.

More importantly, their functions and appearance reminded Hideki of the human body's meridian system...

In fact, after Hideki's verification, the two are very similar, and it can even be said that they have the same origin.

This discovery, combined with his understanding of the original work, made Hideki think of many things at once, as if struck by lightning.

Chakra is an energy force that appeared in the ninja world thousands of years ago.

Therefore, it is obvious that before this, there was no such system of meridians specifically used to transport chakra in the human body.

Naturally, humans did not gain the power of the meridian system and chakra through the Six Paths Sage's handshake, one by one, as shown in the animated shows.

Eliminate all impossible situations, and whatever remains, no matter how improbable, will be the truth!

At that time, all humans were infected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi, hung from the Sacred Tree, and gradually transformed into White Zetsu.

Although the two filial brothers, the Sage of Six Paths' sons, eventually defeated Kaguya and rescued everyone from the Infinite Moon Reading,

This reconstruction surgery does not mean that if you cancel it halfway, you can just pretend it never happened.

Therefore, there are still traces of having been transformed by the Divine Tree in the human body, and that is the so-called meridian system.

Even the talents and special abilities of today's ninjas may derive from their ancestors, who were heavily modified at that time.

And the civilians today are descendants of humans who underwent less transformation in the past...

Therefore, even without the guidance of the Sage of Six Paths, humans will eventually master the use of chakra.

The Sage of Six Paths probably saw this, which is why he took the initiative to establish the Ninja Sect, clarify the true meaning of chakra, and try to guide humanity down the path of peace, where chakra could be used to understand each other.

That said, his good intentions ended up being paid back poorly.

Although discovering the secrets of how humans master chakra does not seem to have much impact on Hideki's current situation,

At least from then on, he could see chakra-related matters from a higher perspective, which played a major role in his future research.

But the greatest benefit of this secret now is that it gave Hideki inspiration on where to find chakra-conductive materials.

And one of the places where it's easy to send goods is the Konoha Forest...

The story begins when Hideki was a child.

Like many ninjas, Hideki has practiced in this forest since he was a child.

He knew that this vast forest of Konoha could be described as a paradise for biodiversity, giving rise to countless species of animals and plants.

It is said that even experienced hunters with decades of experience can always find species they have never seen before every time they enter this forest.

However, as a reincarnator, Hideki discovered a strange feature of this forest that is difficult for ordinary people to detect.

That is, here, many plants that should have existed in different latitudes and ecological environments in Hideki's previous life can be collected, showing completely different habits from those of his previous life.

At first, Hideki didn't take it seriously. He simply attributed it to the fact that this was a different world and that it was normal for plants' habits to differ from his previous life.

However, after Hideki began wandering through the ninja world, he repeatedly found that these plants grew in environments where they were supposed to grow, and they were not very different from those in his previous life.

This also made Hideki realize that this forest was unusual...

Later, after concluding from several books that chakra could allow plants to develop features suited to their environment, he came up with a bold hypothesis.

First, Hideki inspected the area and discovered that, although not obvious, some plants here already contained rudimentary systems of meridians inside.

Second, there were no historical records of tailed beasts living here for a long time in the last hundred years.

Considering that the Sacred Tree can transform living beings through chakra, the answer was already obvious.

However, Hideki didn't jump to conclusions right away.

He followed the traces of these special plants and eventually reached the legendary Valley of the End, where he fully confirmed his idea: Wood Release!

It seems that during the devastating Battle of the Valley of the End, Senju Hashirama's Wood Release not only altered the surrounding terrain but also gave the plants here unlimited possibilities.

The reason why the effect of this Wood Release could cover the entire Valley of the End is not hard to guess.

According to the original work's records, although Senju Hashirama ultimately defeated Uchiha Madara through Sage Jutsu, Wood Release, True Thousand Hands, and the Top Transformation,

In fact, Madara's powerful Susanoo was not powerless to defend and indeed destroyed the thousands of wooden hands behind the Buddha statue.

Even judging by the embarrassed look on Hashirama's face, perhaps even the huge Buddha statue did not survive.

You must know that Wood Release is not like other five-element release techniques. The wood it creates can last a long time.

Therefore, the broken pieces of the wooden hands were naturally scattered throughout the Valley of the End.

And the chakra contained in this Wood Release also dispersed, turning the entire Valley of the End into a paradise for plant evolution...

Since the Divine Tree can transform humans to create White Zetsu, it is logical that Wood Release derived from the Divine Tree can transform plants.

As for the plants that shouldn't exist here, their seeds likely arrived here many years ago but remained dormant underground for many years because the environment was unsuitable for their growth.

It wasn't until the Wood Release awakened them from the soil and they used chakra to adapt to the environment that they survived until now.

Only in the current Konoha Forest can you witness the magnificent scene where plants from different ecological environments gather.

Although most plants have slightly evolved to adapt to their environment, their chakra meridians have not fully developed in their bodies, preventing them from being used as chakra materials.

But there are still a few fortunate ones that have changed their lives through the Wood Release chakra and have become rare plants that can be used as chakra-conductive materials.

And Hideki's goal is precisely these!
