Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Temporary Workshop
Especially Nohara Rin, Sister Kelly's words made her think deeply.
As a civilian-born child from Konoha, Rin had witnessed many of the tragedies that war brought to low-level ninjas and ordinary people since she was little.
She knew that she didn't have the power to stop the war, so she wanted to become a medical ninja, hoping to heal the pain caused by the war by treating the wounded as much as possible.
However, everything Mr. Kimura had done suddenly made Rin realize how limited her previous thoughts were.
From what Sister Kelly said, almost all of the children in front of her were war orphans who had been displaced to Konoha due to the war, and they were also products of the tragedy caused by it.
And by establishing a workshop to help them become self-sufficient, wasn't Mr. Kimura healing the pain caused by the war?
Rin began to understand that ninjutsu is only a means for ninjas, and how it is used depends on each person's heart.
The medical ninjutsu that can save lives and heal the injured can easily kill people, and even the puppet technique, known for its insidious acts, can be used to benefit the world if applied correctly.
So the key lies in the true intent of the user and the goal they wish to achieve through ninjutsu.
Rin's original intention certainly hadn't changed.
But she started to doubt whether she should achieve it through medical ninjutsu.
After all, even Tsunade-sama, known as the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world, seemed unable to bring about many good changes for Konoha.
Can studying medicine... really save the people of Konoha?
Yuhi Kurenai, on the other hand, naturally did not have such deep thoughts as Rin.
Her parents had protected her well since she was a child, and she had never seen real-life cruelty.
Therefore, whether it was sympathy for the children or admiration for the teacher, it could only be superficial.
What worried her most at that moment was, in fact, the Rubik's Cube that she both loved and hated.
So she quickly found the opportunity to take Sister Kelly's hand and began asking about the Rubik's Cube.
"Aunt Kelly, were the toys the children were playing with earlier also invented by Mr. Kimura?"
"The teacher is so thoughtful. Not only are there books, paper, and pens, but also toys for everyone. It's really enviable..."
Kelly was speechless when she heard this.
Envious of the orphans, little one, do your parents know about this?
But she didn't know how old the girl was and naturally understood the little one's thoughts, knowing that this girl was actually coveting the toys.
Naturally, Kelly didn't let the opportunity pass for them to join the workshop, so she explained with a smile:
"Those toys aren't just for the children to play with. They're for them to try and see if they are fun and durable."
"Because these toys will be the main products of our workshop in the future."
"So if you have a favorite toy, Kurenai, you can also make one for yourself later."
"Nani?"
Unexpectedly, Mr. Kimura's workshop wasn't just located in an orphanage, but it mainly produced toys.
Rin and Kurenai couldn't help but look at each other. Both thought it was a little surprising, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that it was very consistent with Mr. Kimura's eccentric style.
However, before the two could find out more, Kelly stopped, turned around, and told them:
"Let your teacher Kimura answer the remaining questions for you personally."
It turned out that, under Kelly's lead, they had unknowingly arrived at the temporary workshop, which had several connected rooms.
Although it was called a workshop, this room actually looked more like a classroom for carpentry apprentices.
They saw several long tables and many chairs placed in the center of the room, serving as both desks and work tables.
Various hand tools were carefully hung on the walls on both sides of the room, many of which they didn't know the purpose of.
Additionally, at one end of the room, there were materials and some larger machines, the purpose of which was also unknown.
At the other end of the room was a podium and a blackboard, which should be convenient for teaching apprentices.
Their teacher, Kimura, was sitting in front of the podium, holding a notebook in one hand and reading quietly.
When he heard the noise, Hideki turned his attention from his notes. Upon seeing Nohara Rin and Yuhi Kurenai, he smiled and said:
"You two arrived so early~"
"The other students haven't arrived yet, so feel free to take a look around."
"When everyone is here, I'll guide you to do something fun, so you can experience the joy of making things with your own hands."
Unlike Rin, who nodded, Kurenai was less interested in making things.
So she went directly to the podium and proudly said:
"Teacher, do you think my new skirt looks good?"
After saying that, Kurenai lifted the skirt and twirled twice, smiling sweetly.
"It's very beautiful. You look like a little princess."
Hideki casually complimented her, but before Kurenai could be happy, he pointed to a corner of her skirt and added:
"Though there seems to be a stain here..."
Kurenai looked down and saw that exactly what the teacher said was true. There was a very obvious black stain on the corner of her skirt.
Ah, this must be what the little girl left behind!
Suddenly, Kurenai became so angry her teeth started to itch.
She had just been mocked for her intelligence and now she had been embarrassed in front of Mr. Kimura.
Is that girl her nemesis?
Hideki seemed a little confused when he saw Kurenai's red face.
Your skirt is a bit dirty, do you really need to be this mad?
Seeing her cheeks puffing up more, Hideki decided to calm Kurenai's mood to prevent her from exploding like a balloon.
He put down his notes, opened a box on the podium, took out a small device, and handed it to Kurenai:
"Just wash your skirt after it gets dirty. Don't get upset."
"Kurenai, you could also play with this toy; maybe it will help improve your mood."
No, no, it would be better if your mood doesn't get worse!
Kurenai silently complained in her heart.
Because the toy Mr. Kimura gave her was none other than a Rubik's Cube!
She really wanted to practice the Rubik's Cube more, but this moment was a shame.
Rin, who was always kind, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh when she saw this.
When Kurenai heard Rin's laughter, she couldn't hold it in anymore. In the end, both she and Rin laughed together, leaving Hideki even more confused.
After a while, the two finally calmed down.
Then they couldn't help but approach the podium and look at the box where the Rubik's Cube was placed.
Because in addition to the Rubik's Cube, there were many things they didn't recognize.
"Teacher, do these toys get made in the workshop?"
Kurenai asked with a curious look on her face.
"Seems like Aunt Kelly told you about that."
Hideki raised his eyebrows and then casually responded:
"Yes, these toys are the main products of my workshop."
"If you're interested, you can make your own later and take the finished product home."
"Great!"
After receiving a clear answer, Kurenai was so happy that she turned around.
Rin also looked at the toys in the box with sparkling eyes, thinking about which toys she should learn to make later.
After all, no matter how precocious they were, they were still children under ten years old, and it was really hard to resist the temptation of toys.
"Teacher, could you show me how to play with these toys?"
Kurenai looked up and blinked, asking.
Hideki originally planned to wait until all the students had arrived to make the presentation so he wouldn't have to repeat it multiple times.
However, he was finally defeated by the cute gleam in the little ones' eyes. He waved his hands helplessly and said:
"Alright, but you have to help me present these toys to the other students later."
"No problem!"
The two little lolitas nodded repeatedly like chickens pecking rice.
Hideki had no choice but to start teaching them how to play with the various toys...
