Pupet Master in Konoha

Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Do your job well



Interesting Crafting Tips?

The young ninjas were originally addicted to various toys and couldn't tear themselves away. But when they heard the teacher's words, they immediately came to their senses, filled with curiosity.

After all, Teacher Kimura always showed all sorts of novel and interesting gadgets in class, and he never let them down.

So, everyone had to suppress the urge to keep playing with the toys, and each one found a seat with their favorite toy.

Then, all of them eagerly looked at Hideki, their eyes full of expectation:

"Teacher Kimura, please start your demonstration!"

Although he was somewhat powerless against their attitude of wanting to watch a show rather than sincerely learn, Hideki quickly switched to teaching mode and began to speak:

"As the saying goes, if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools."

"The quality of your tools directly affects the difficulty of production and the quality of the finished product."

"I know that each of you has your own learning tasks as students, and there's not much time or energy to dedicate to learning the craft of puppet-making."

"So, I will introduce you to an interesting tool and how to use it."

"It not only allows everyone to master the basic techniques of puppet-making in a short time, but it can also easily improve the quality of the finished product."

Many young ninjas showed expressions of doubt upon hearing this.

How could there be such a magical tool in the world?

Even if it did exist, then this tool must be extremely valuable, otherwise, it would have become popular in the ninja world by now.

But it was none other than Teacher Kimura who had brought them many surprises before.

Therefore, no one jumped to conclusions too quickly to avoid repeating the incident of being slapped by the teacher in the previous class.

Hideki seemed to have figured out what they were thinking. He smiled and said:

"Don't worry, everyone. The tools I'm introducing today don't cost a thing..."

Before the young ninjas could ask any questions, Hideki raised his right hand and said:

"First of all, you might want to take a look and see if you recognize the ninjutsu I am performing right now..."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Hideki's right hand began to envelop itself in a ball of blue chakra.

The ninjutsu was indeed complete, but judging by the confused looks of the young ninjas, they were having difficulty figuring out which ninjutsu it was.

Then, Hideki had no choice but to slightly flick his left hand, levitating a piece of wood on the podium in front of him, and lightly touched it with his right hand, which was condensed with chakra.

Without warning, the lower half of the wood fell to the ground.

"Wow..."

All the young ninjas exclaimed in confusion.

Although it wasn't as flashy as those destructive ninjutsu, the students here were all quite skilled and knew that cutting a block of wood hanging in mid-air so silently wasn't easy.

Not to mention that the teacher hadn't even made a cutting motion; it was just a gentle touch...

This made it hard for them to imagine the terrible things that would happen if this technique were used on people.

However, this thought also led some of the children to think of a similar ninjutsu.

"Teacher, are you using a chakra scalpel?"

A student sitting in the front row raised their hand first and asked, which made Rin, who was also preparing to ask a question, feel a bit down.

Hideki nodded and responded:

"Yes, this is indeed the chakra scalpel used by medical ninjas."

"But my technique is actually just an illusion."

Seeing the confusion in everyone's eyes, Hideki began to explain:

"The chakra scalpel requires good chakra control to condense a small, sharp blade that facilitates the cutting of human body parts."

"At the same time, it also requires the user to have extensive knowledge of medical treatment and human body structure to accurately locate the injury and control the size of the cut."

"The combination of these two makes up the complete chakra scalpel, a medical-level A-ranked ninjutsu."

"So my ninjutsu, which only has chakra control and isn't supported by extensive medical knowledge, can't be considered a true chakra scalpel."

At this point, Hideki paused briefly to give everyone time to digest.

Seeing that they were beginning to understand, Hideki continued:

"I think many of you have already guessed which tool I'm talking about..."

"Chakra scalpels are used in medical surgeries. A slight mistake can endanger the life of the patient, so it requires strong chakra control and extensive medical knowledge to support it."

"But when used for handicrafts, it's a different story."

"At least basic handcrafted production doesn't require such high precision."

"And even if a mistake is made, it can be remedied. If it fails, the most you have to do is discard a piece of material and start over."

"And the benefits of using a chakra scalpel for handicrafts are obvious."

"Because it's made with your own chakra, it will be very easy to use and will greatly shorten the time it takes to learn how to use the tool."

"You should be able to experience what I mean later."

"Of course, with such chakra compression and control precision, this technique can no longer be called a chakra scalpel."

"Because it's generally used for woodwork, I called it the chakra carving knife."

After Hideki finished speaking, the entire room was silent for a moment.

But this time, the young ninjas weren't left speechless in shock as before. Instead, they didn't know what to say for a moment.

A chakra carving knife...

Although it is indeed a good idea to simplify the chakra scalpel into a carving knife for handicrafts, if anyone else had come up with this idea, they would have given it their approval.

But Teacher Kimura had previously shown realistic puppets like the black cat and the red owl, unique teaching materials like the pocket beast puppet, and now these new and interesting toys, which had already raised everyone's expectations too high.

So, seeing this "mundane" chakra carving knife, they couldn't help but feel, "Is this it?"

Many young ninjas felt a bit embarrassed by this.

You know, we're not in class now, we're visiting a workshop.

Having a new ninjutsu as a reward is already something good that many people would envy.

Especially for children like them who hadn't learned much ninjutsu after graduation, each new ninjutsu they mastered was extremely valuable.

Not to mention that, judging by the current situation, this technique could be used not only for crafting but also for combat.

So, if they could master this technique, it would definitely be beneficial for their future ninja careers.

The more they thought about it, the more it made sense, and they began to eagerly anticipate the next lesson.

However, they still underestimated Hideki's determination to trick them into becoming apprentices...

In his opinion, this chakra carving knife alone wasn't enough to make everyone work hard for the workshop.

So, Hideki had also prepared a complete set of baits, waiting for the children to take the hook...

"Teacher, please teach us how to use this technique quickly!"

At the enthusiastic requests for guidance from the children, Hideki raised his voice slightly and said:

"Don't worry, everyone, because I'm not done introducing yet."

"Not finished with the introduction?"

The young ninjas calmed down and were a bit confused at the same time.

Hideki smiled and explained:

"Don't forget, craftsmanship can't be completed with just a carving knife."

"Since we want to transform the chakra scalpel into a handmade tool, naturally, we need to gather the tools."

"So, in addition to the carving knife, the chakra scalpel can be transformed into other tools."

"For example, a hammer..."

As he spoke, Hideki's right hand, which was condensing chakra, began to close into a fist.

Through compression, the chakra wrapped around his right hand turned into something like a substance and seemed extremely hard...

"Another example is a saw..."

Hideki extended his right hand again, and it could be seen that the chakra on the edge of his palm formed small triangular saw teeth, and began to move along the edge, getting faster and faster...

Yes, it was actually a chainsaw!

"Of course, exercises are also indispensable..."

As he spoke, Hideki raised his right index finger, and the chakra on his hand began to spin around the fingertip, eventually forming a spiral chakra drill at the tip of his finger.

Then Hideki demonstrated transformations of basic manual tools such as axes, brushes, chisels, spades, etc.

He even used chakra threads to replace the functions of a compass and ruler, realizing that even without tools, chakra alone was enough to complete all handmade creations...

However, Hideki still had no plans to accept magical powers.

"Now you've seen all the forms of chakra tools, but this is not the complete image of this ninjutsu."

"If we can integrate them someday, we will be able to do more interesting things..."

After saying that, Hideki extended his right hand forward and showed the piece of wood from earlier.

Then his right hand began to release a large amount of chakra, enveloping the wood completely.

Just like the chakra scalpel earlier, there were no obvious movements.

However, after more than ten seconds, the chakra dissipated, and the piece of wood disappeared.

In its place was a statue of the Thousand-Armed Buddha sitting in the palm of Hideki's hand with a kind expression on its face...

Then Hideki said softly:

"Chakra workshop, this is the final form of this ninjutsu."
