Pupet Master in Konoha

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato walked out from behind the shelf nearby.

It was probably because Kushina had just asked him to hide, wanting to see if Hideki could recognize who she was.

In fact, if Hideki hadn't used the perception ninjutsu as soon as he saw the other party's suspicious behavior, he would have noticed Minato's presence.

It might be difficult to recognize at once that this black-haired woman is Uzumaki Kushina.

It seemed that they really listened to their own advice and used transformation techniques to turn their conspicuous red hair into black when they went out to avoid attracting attention.

"Why are you here?"

Now that Minato had shown up, Hideki couldn't continue teasing his girlfriend, so he asked casually.

Of course, although he asked "you guys", what he was actually asking about Kushina's situation.

You have to know that Kushina is currently unable to completely suppress the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox in her body, so she basically stays at home and is under the strictest surveillance.

Even Hideki, the boss, could only communicate with her through letters using the post.

How come there are so many people here suddenly? Aren't you afraid that one of them will go berserk and kill all the Konoha residents here?

Kushina, who was pouting at first, also understood what Hideki meant, and immediately put her hands on her hips and raised her head proudly,

"Of course it's because I have recently made great progress in my research on the programming style sealing technique, and have made a breakthrough in the original sealing technique. I can now completely suppress the Nine-Tails temporarily."

"Otherwise, how could the Sandaime let me out without any worries?"

Hey, Kushina, is it appropriate for you to show off this in front of Hideki, the real inventor?

Minato complained in his heart, and at the same time sincerely thanked Hideki:

"It is thanks to your programming style sealing technique, Hideki, that it provided Kushina with a lot of inspiration."

"Otherwise, she would have to study for a long time before she could achieve this level."

"No way, I was just a little bit short of it before..."

Kushina suddenly lost her pride and began to mutter under her breath.

Minato looked at her helplessly.

Kushina's "little bit" is simply the universe on her fingertips. It has been blocking her for more than half a year. It is not as easy as she said to break through the bottleneck...

Under the urging of Minato's eyes, Kushina thanked Hideki a little shyly:

"Thank you, Boss Hideki."

"It's okay. I've also learned a lot from you, Kushina."

Hideki waved his hand.

In fact, during their correspondence, he felt that Kushina's attitude towards him was a little strange.

It's not hostility, but a strange competitive mentality.

Hideki guessed that it was because he came up with the idea of ​​the programming-style sealing technique that made Kushina, a genius in sealing techniques, feel threatened, which led to her competitive spirit.

However, he didn't know that Kushina was thinking at this time:

It turns out that this guy is Boss Hideki.

There's nothing special about him except that he's handsome! ?

Why is it that Minato likes to go to him all day long, and he doesn't even have time to spend with me...

Poor Kushina didn't know the cruel truth.

That is, as long as boys are not dominated by their lower body, they actually prefer to play with other boys...

Then the three of them started chatting again.

Since Hideki and Kushina often communicate through letters, they can be considered semi-acquaintances.

In addition, Kushina, like Naruto, is very outgoing, so after meeting for a while, they became complete friends.

Kushina couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked Hideki stealthily:

"By the way, Hideki, how did you do that?"

"What?"

"It's that dazzling yo-yo!"

Kushina cast her eyes towards the counter selling dazzling yo-yos not far away, where there was a long line.

Even though this thing is expensive, there are still many rich people in Konoha.

So from the very beginning, Kushina saw a steady stream of people buying the glowing yo-yos there and leaving the toy store happily.

But in this case, the number of these dazzling yo-yos made her feel that something was wrong.

Kushina asked in confusion:

"Although I can make this kind of gadget if I spend some time."

"But the apprentices in the workshop have only just learned to draw two or three basic runes, so they can't help at all."

"It's impossible for you, Hideki, to make so many dazzling yo-yos in such a short time by yourself."

"So Hideki, how did you do it?"

"Kushina, you can't just ask about this kind of thing."

Minato quickly reminded Kushina, but Hideki quickly waved his hand and said,

"It's okay. As the workshop's sealing consultant, I also want to hear Kushina's opinion."

"But it's not convenient to talk here, let's go to another place."

So Hideki took the two of them to the staff lounge of the toy store.

Seeing that there was no one inside, Hideki continued the previous topic:

"Just now, Kushina, you said that the apprentices can't help much. In fact, you are wrong."

"Because to be honest, most of the runes in these dazzling yo-yos were made by them."

"How is this possible?"

Kushina said in disbelief, "Just now I saw them being as surprised as the guests when they found out that there was a yo-yo that glowed."

"And they have only learned a few runes now, how can they draw a rune formula that can make the yo-yo glow!?"

"Wait...Kushina..."

Minato seemed to realize something and began to think,

"Hideki just said that the runes in the yo-yo were drawn by the children, but he didn't directly say that they drew the rune formula."

"Haha, as expected of Minato, you're getting close to the answer so quickly."

Hideki nodded and smiled.

Kushina looked at the two people admiring each other with a hollow look, feeling sour in her heart, she simply gave up and raised her hands in surrender:

"Anyway, I am the dumbest one, reveal the answer quickly, Hideki."

Minato helped Kushina save face by saying,

"I don't really understand how it was accomplished, so I'd like to hear what brilliant idea you came up with, Hideki."

"There is no such thing as a stroke of genius. It's just cleverness at best."

Hideki said modestly, "And to be honest, I have to thank you for your help in this matter, Kushina."

"Me?" Kushina looked confused.

"good."

Hideki said as he shook his sleeves and then spread out his hands, which already contained a small pile of small wooden chips.

"I think you should remember these rune chips."

"When I went to the Senju clan to buy materials before, it was thanks to your introduction, Kushina, that I was able to get such a big discount."

"And do you remember the rune detector? I wrote to Kushina before and asked for your suggestions on modifying some of the rune spells."

Seeing the two nod, Hideki smiled again:

"The biggest feature of this rune detector is that after inserting different rune pieces, it can form a rune formula circuit that can be operated, thereby detecting the level of the rune drawing on the rune piece."

"Have you ever thought about inserting more than just one rune piece into the rune spell?"

"But the entire rune ritual is composed of rune pieces. What will happen..."

As Hideki spoke, the rune pieces he had already drawn began to float in the air and fit together like pieces of a puzzle.

However, they do not directly form a large whole, but rather form a three-dimensional structure with intricate structures.

Then Hideki gently clenched his right hand, and the three-dimensional structure quickly folded and compressed in the air.

Finally, it was folded into a fist-sized cube of wood and fell into Hideki's hand again.

You can see that this cube is like a Rubik's Cube, with each side consisting of nine rune pieces.

The runes drawn on each rune piece are connected to each other, emitting white light that flickers in the rhythm of breathing.

Minato and Kushina both opened their mouths slightly when they saw this, and both felt a strange beauty that came from order.

Then Hideki explained with a smile:

"As you can see, even the children cannot draw rune spells yet."

"As long as you put the rune pieces they drew together like a puzzle or building blocks, you can also get a complete rune spell."

Only then did Minato and Kushina come to their senses and finally understood what Hideki meant. They couldn't help but open their eyes wide and look at each other in surprise.
