Pupet Master in Konoha

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Assistant



"To put it simply, Nohara-san, you're still hesitating whether to take the medical ninjutsu class or the puppetry class, so you want to hear my opinion."

Hideki looked at Nohara Rin with a curious expression.

To ask him, a puppeteer, such a question...

Rin, naturally, was being 100% serious.

In fact, after learning that the workshop had been set up for the orphans and witnessing the miraculous production skills of his master, Rin's internal balance had tilted strongly toward puppetry.

However, it wasn't so easy to abandon his childhood dreams and the hard work he had put in throughout the school year.

So when he discovered that his teacher was also involved in medical ninjutsu, Rin suddenly had an idea and decided to ask him directly for his opinion.

Although, as Hideki thought, it was truly unfair to ask him this question, given he was a puppeteer.

But what Rin didn't know was that the good character Hideki had built up had been too successful.

So much so that Rin believed that with his noble feelings, his master would be impartial and give him the best advice.

However, what Rin never expected was that Teacher Kimura gave him an answer he couldn't have imagined:

"Nohara-san... Have you never thought that you can actually have both?"

Hideki extended his hands and said, "Anyway, the schedules for the two courses don't overlap, so it shouldn't be a big problem to take both at the same time."

Yes, only children answer multiple-choice questions, but of course, adults answer all the questions.

In fact, Hideki had no intention of letting Rin give up on medical ninjutsu from the start. He had planned to let him practice both.

Because Rin had good talent for puppetry, it would be a waste to let him remain just an ordinary apprentice. Hideki had intended to train him to be one of his assistants from the beginning.

However, if Rin just followed his steps and learned how to handle puppets, he wouldn't be able to provide him with many new perspectives and suggestions.

Therefore, the combination of medical ninjutsu and puppetry was the path Hideki had prepared for Rin.

Even for other assistants, Hideki was willing to let each person specialize in one area while learning puppetry.

But Rin, of course, didn't know Hideki's foresight, and his eyes were still wide in surprise at his words.

After being stunned for a moment, Rin finally regained his composure and said with a wry smile:

"But master, I'm not a genius. I don't have the confidence to learn two complicated courses at the same time."

"Nohara-san, you shouldn't belittle yourself."

Hideki said kindly.

"Although you may not be as good as Hatake Kakashi, a super genius who can learn everything,"

"I can assure you that in both the fields of medical ninjutsu and puppetry, Nohara-san, you have a lot of talent."

"Even being called a genius wouldn't be an exaggeration."

Having mastered the mystical Palm at thirteen and even performed Sharingan transplants on the battlefield, he had also briefly become the Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails.

With such a resume, Rin was undoubtedly a true genius.

It's a pity that Hideki didn't get the response he expected.

"Master, do you know Kakashi?"

"Even you said he's a super genius! Kakashi is really amazing!"

Rin clasped his hands in front of his chest and said with shining eyes.

It turned out that Hideki had accidentally said the key phrase, triggering Rin's little fanboy side for Kakashi.

As for the teacher's words that she was a genius, Rin unconsciously felt like she was just being comforted.

This was because medical ninjutsu required a lot of medical knowledge as a foundation, and Rin, still in the accumulation phase, hadn't discovered her potential in this area.

Hideki, realizing this, decided to approach the issue from another angle.

"Actually, I've heard about Kakashi from others..."

After a few superficial words to straighten Rin's twisted thoughts, Hideki continued:

"Back to the point, Nohara-san, you should have already noticed that medical ninjutsu and puppetry have a lot in common."

"For example, both require the user to have good chakra control."

"Rin, the reason you performed so well when you first took this class is because, in addition to your talent, the practice in the medical class last year probably played an important role."

Seeing Rin nod thoughtfully, Hideki continued:

"Also, the ninjutsu I used when treating Morino-san earlier is actually a good example."

"Hey, isn't that just a simple palm magic?"

Rin asked with a surprised expression on her face.

Because among the medical ninjutsu she knew, only the Palma Mística could heal the wound so quickly and perfectly.

Although the Palma Mística is a high-level medical ninjutsu, even in all of Konoha, not many medical ninjas know this technique.

But if it was Master Kimura showing miracles countless times, Rin felt it was just a normal procedure.

The reason she came to ask her master about it was actually because she thought the teacher knew how to master Sage Jutsu, so naturally, she had much more research on medical ninjutsu.

It's a shame that this was just a beautiful misunderstanding.

"Nohara-san, I'm not as omnipotent as you think."

Hideki said helplessly, then raised his right hand, letting it emit a bright green light.

"Although it seems similar, this C-level activation technique is my limit."

"This technique can only treat skin injuries, but it is very different from the Palm Immortal Technique that can cure all diseases."

"But the speed at which Ibiki's wounds healed earlier..."

Rin asked unconsciously.

The activation technique using Yang Release Chakra to enhance the activity of the cells around the wound is the most basic medical ninjutsu, so she knew it well.

Even the so-called Palm Immortal Technique is actually an enhanced version of this technique. The difference lies in the quality of the Yang Release Chakra and the level of medical treatment.

From what the master said, it should belong to the type that has Yang Release Chakra, but the quality is very average, so it can only learn the activation technique.

But a simple activation technique cannot achieve the same effect as before.

Fortunately, Hideki didn't boast and began to explain to Rin:

"Actually, the principle is very simple."

"Although it can't be seen with the naked eye, during the treatment process, I used chakra threads to suture the wound, which accelerated the healing speed."

"So, even if it's just the activation technique, it can have effects similar to the Palm Immortal Technique when it comes to simple wounds."

"Actually, medical ninjas already use it this way, but it's usually used in difficult surgeries."

"Only someone like me, who knows a little about medical ninjutsu, would have to use this technique on such a simple wound."

"So when I said before that I only know a little about handling trauma, I was actually telling the truth."

"I'm sorry, master, I shouldn't have doubted you."

Rin lowered her head in embarrassment.

"It's okay, as long as you know your mistake and can correct it."

Hideki waved his hands generously.

After Rin lifted her head, Hideki began to summarize:

"Just like a chakra scalpel, with slight modifications, it can turn into a chakra carving knife for production."

"The chakra threads originally used in puppetry can also be transformed into sutures for medical treatment."

"Ultimately, medical ninjutsu, puppetry, and even chakra itself are just tools in our hands."

"They can be used for crafting things and also for treating diseases and saving lives."

Having said this, Hideki raised his right hand and the blue-water chakra began to emerge around him, constantly changing into the shape of swords, axes, saws, and drills, like a factory made of chakra.

He then raised his left hand, and the bright green light illuminated the surrounding area. At the same time, the tips of his fingers released extremely thin and clearly visible chakra threads, resembling an operating table made of chakra.

Rin couldn't help but feel captivated by the strange scene of blue and green chakra under the gradually darkening tree.

Hideki continued in a gentle voice:

"Even if you look at it from another perspective, the human body is just a puppet with self-awareness and an exquisite structure..."

"So Puppet Jutsu and Medical Ninjutsu have never been two branches of knowledge that don't overlap, but are closely related, even having a connection with two sides of the same body."

"Perhaps the knowledge learned in medical ninjutsu can be used in puppetry."

"The skills mastered with puppets can also be applied to medical ninjutsu."

"So, as long as you have enough talent, studying both won't just not reduce the efficiency of learning, but can actually complement each other."

"In fact, Chiyo, the strongest puppeteer in the current ninja world, masters both medical ninjutsu and puppetry. I don't think this is just a coincidence."

"Therefore, Nohara-san, you no longer have to worry about not being able to master both ninjutsus."

"And if you encounter any difficulties because of this, you can always come to me for help."

Against the backdrop of the blue and green fluorescence, Hideki showed a warm smile:

"After all, spreading the beauty of puppetry to more people is my greatest wish when I return to Konoha."

"Master..."

Rin felt a little pain in her nose, but quickly held

After realizing that medical ninjutsu and puppetry were actually two sides of the same coin and feeling the sincerity of her master, Rin finally made her decision.

"Master, although I'm not a genius, I will definitely work hard to meet your expectations and learn both medical ninjutsu and puppetry!"

Rin said firmly.

Hideki gently patted her head and spoke in a nearly inaudible voice:

"My expectations are worthy of me. I just hope that this time, Rin, you can break free from the shackles of fate with the help of puppetry, and one day make your dream come true..."

At this point, Hideki had finally gained his first research assistant.
