Pupet Master in Konoha

After confirming that Obito, who had almost drowned, still had no intention of giving up, Hideki returned to Minato and continued fishing and reading.

But not long after, a sharp voice suddenly came from the nearby forest, growing closer and closer.

"Master Hideki, is there enough firewood?"

Hideki turned his head and saw Dai running toward him, carrying a bundle of dead branches.

"That's enough, thank you for your hard work, Dai."

Hideki ruffled Dai's bright watermelon-shaped head.

"It's no trouble at all!"

Dai gave a thumbs-up and smiled, then pulled a red turtle from his arms.

"Master, not only did you help my little Baku make a ninja beast weapon, but you also taught me how to train it. It's only right that I help you a bit!"

Since the name "Blazing Turtle Beast" is too dominant.

Hideki also focused on the turtle in Dai's hands and said,

"In just a few days, this turtle seems to have grown a lot."

Dai said joyfully,

"Is that really true? I thought it was just an illusion since we're together all the time!"

"I've just been following your advice, Master, and occasionally injecting chakra into its body. I didn't expect it to be so effective, so quickly."

"That means your chakra compatibility is very good, which is why the effects are so obvious."

Hideki explained with a smile.

It turned out that a few days ago, Hideki had taken the time to teach Dai the basic methods for training ninja beasts.

The reason Hideki knew this method was that he had accidentally learned it when he partnered with Inuzuka Jaw.

At that time, the first Inuzuka ninja dog had to retire due to an injury, so they began training a second one.

And Hideki had activated the Spider-Sense technique every now and then during the mission.

So even if he hadn't wanted to steal their lessons, Hideki unknowingly learned a bit about cultivating ninja beasts.

The first step in training a ninja beast is to inject a small amount of chakra into the young beast's body from time to time.

There are many benefits to doing this.

First, chakra can be used to clear the beast's imperfect meridian system and improve its future potential.

Second, chakra can also help promote the beast's growth, allowing it to become a combat force sooner.

Of course, the most important thing is that if the young beast is immersed in its master's chakra for an extended period, its own chakra nature will align more closely with its master's.

This way, the master and the ninja beast will become more in tune with each other, even reaching the point of spiritual communication.

Even when learning ninjutsu together in the future, it will be much easier.

It's not hard to see that this method of transforming living beings through chakra contamination is actually very similar to the principle by which the chakra of tailed beasts can transform the surrounding environment.

The most typical example, aside from Samehada, is probably the original series' protagonist, Uzumaki Naruto.

Since Naruto had been immersed in Kurama's chakra from the moment he was born, he already had those obvious whisker marks on his face when he was a baby.

So, in theory, Naruto can be considered the result of the combined chakra of Minato, Kushina, and Kurama.

It's no surprise that Kurama helps Naruto overcome difficulties many times in the future.

Even Hideki, who was well-informed, had to say: "Your circle is truly chaotic~"

Unfortunately, Hideki only learned a little about the training methods for ninja beasts, as the team disbanded shortly afterward.

Even the basic methods he taught Dai were partly completed by Hideki himself using brainstorming techniques.

However, Hideki wasn't too concerned about the advanced content.

Because if he couldn't figure it out himself, he'd continue trapping the elder Jia's sheep until he did.

As long as the core secrets weren't involved, Hideki felt that if he offered to design custom ninja beast weapons for the Inuzuka clan in exchange, they'd accept his request...

They said they were fishing, but Hideki and Minato hadn't caught a single fish by midday.

Both agreed that it was Obito's fault for splashing around in the water all day and scaring the fish away.

Lunch also changed from the planned grilled fish to curry rice, which Hideki had asked Aunt Kelly to prepare in advance.

This made him have to praise himself for his foresight.

Shortly after eating, Minato decided to return to Konoha.

Although he showed no mercy to his enemies on the battlefield, he was still too kind to the villagers of Konoha, who considered him family.

However, people have their own ambitions. After Hideki tried to hold him back for a while but failed, he let him go.

To preserve the fruits of the revolution and prevent Minato from being deceived by those old leaders from the clan, Hideki rolled his eyes and made another suggestion.

This time, they were in the initiative, so they might as well hold a consultation meeting.

Invite all ninjas interested in the point system plan to participate and resolve the matter once and for all.

And to facilitate communication, it was best to involve the younger generation from all ethnic groups.

Minato, who had originally been concerned about time, decided to adopt Hideki's suggestion.

After agreeing to inform Hideki of the time, Minato left.

However, Hideki could only stay temporarily because he still had to guide Obito's training.

That night, after a day of inhumane training, Obito finally mastered the trick of using chakra to help with breathing at any time.

"Very good, Obito."

Hideki said to Obito, who had just been knocked down and was walking a little unsteadily:

"In theory, as long as you keep practicing according to the two stages, you'll soon be able to use the Fireball Jutsu successfully at any time. The special training is over..."

When Obito heard this, he felt mixed emotions.

He was happy to have quickly mastered the Fireball technique, but he also felt sad because the special training was over.

Although the two stages of special training were very painful, the effect of mastering the powerful Fireball technique so quickly was absolutely amazing.

Thinking about when he could enjoy Master Hideki's special training in the future, Obito began to feel reluctant to part with those inhumane practices.

At that moment, he heard his master continue:

"But if you're interested, you can also choose to enter the third stage of training to speed up the process."

The third stage?

When Obito heard this, he didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly nodded and said, "Of course I'm willing!"

But after saying that, he started to have doubts again.

"But Master, I don't have enough points. Can I really accept your guidance?"

Hideki smiled and said, "This time, it doesn't matter."

"Because the third stage of training is for you to put on your previous helmet for real combat training, so you don't need much help from me at all."

"I even found an opponent for you..."

As he spoke, Hideki turned his gaze toward Dai, who had been waiting to the side.

Dai, who had been waiting eagerly, jumped forward, then raised his thumb, showing his bright teeth as he said:

"Yes, Master Hideki is talking about me!"

"I've been missing suitable opponents since I graduated, so I can train with you, Obito!"

Some black lines appeared on Obito's forehead.

He had never been able to deal with this strange and enthusiastic type like Dai.

However, he really didn't want to miss the opportunity to continue training with his master, so he gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay, but if you're too weak, Dai, I won't go easy on you."

Hideki rolled his eyes slightly and wondered: Obito, how can someone of your low rank have the confidence to say that?

At the same time, Obito's promise made Hideki feel relieved in his heart, feeling that the plan had taken another step forward.

The techniques he taught Obito were actually not limited to ninjutsu like the Fireball Jutsu.

By observing the changes in Obito's size and lung capacity in just a month, it was clear that this was also a secret training technique for physical conditioning.

Knowing how to compensate for his mediocre physical condition in order to keep up with the gods' steps in the future had always been an important goal in Hideki's plan to become stronger.

And this secret technique for physical training was the answer Hideki found, called the Chakra Breathing Technique.
