Pupet Master in Konoha

Yo-yo, top, Rubik's cube, Luban lock, sword ball...

Passersby slowly began to gather, and the boy started presenting and demonstrating various toys one by one.

"This is the Yo-Yo. Look at my Ray, my Magic Gloves, and the Eiffel Tower... What's the Eiffel Tower? Well, I don't really know either..."

"Then this is called a Rubik's Cube. You play with it by twisting and turning like this. The teacher said it can exercise children's brains... Let me show you how to solve it! Are you trying to make things difficult for me, Obito?"

Although the presentation was a bit offbeat, the exquisite craftsmanship and novel, interesting ways to play with the toys still captivated the audience.

"Mom, I want a Rubik's Cube! It's my lifelong wish!"

"Dad, buy me a yo-yo! Or I'll tell mom about the books you hide under the bed!"

Many parents with limited funds were preparing to grab their children and run 100 meters to escape this terrifying situation.

But the children were already prepared. They clung to their parents' clothes, pleading, coercing, or tempting them, not giving up until they bought the toys.

Some children with better grades no longer bothered to express themselves with words, so they just lay down in the street and let their parents handle it...

In the end, many children failed and could only leave crying from this sad place.

And for those who successfully bought toys, the results weren't as great as they had imagined...

"Dad, please give me that yo-yo to play with!"

"Don't worry, dad will try it first..."

Although all the young parents said similar words, judging by how intently they played with the toys, it was clear that the children would take a long time before they actually played with them...

After the audience gradually dispersed, the boy held the box containing the money and ran towards the foot of a large tree not far away. He proudly said to a handsome young man who was leaning against the tree reading a book: "Master Hideki, look how much money I've earned. How much money have I made? Am I really a business genius?"

Hideki rolled his eyes under the book cover before putting it down.

Seeing that Obito's nose was about to reach the sky, Hideki complained in his heart:

The toys are selling well because they're high quality. Even if a ninja dog is hired to run the stall, the results would probably still be good.

However, not wanting to undermine the boy's confidence, Hideki still said approvingly:

"Actually, it's quite a profit. Maybe Obito, you really have a talent for business. Keep it up."

But before the happy Obito could respond, Hideki quietly added:

"But Obito, didn't I tell you that you should carefully record the information and preferences of your customers? Why do I see you haven't written anything yet..."

"Obito, in addition to your talent for business, don't you also have photographic memory?"

"Oh, I forgot about that!"

"Master, don't tell me anymore. I need to write it down quickly while I still remember!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Obito hurried back to the stall with the money box in his arms. He fumbled around, grabbed his pen and notes, then started chewing on the pen's tip while deep in thought...

Seeing this, Hideki could only shake his head and smile helplessly.

The reason he was here today was actually to conduct market research.

Although all the toys he introduced were classics that had stood the test of time in his previous life, when coming to another world, it's possible they might not adapt well.

For example, due to the generally low level of education of the current villagers, the popularity of educational toys like the Rubik's Cube wasn't as high as Hideki had imagined.

Additionally, people from different classes had varying requirements when it came to the price and quality of toys.

To create a reasonable production plan for the workshop, Hideki decided to gather information by setting up a stall.

But, in fact, there was another important reason: to use detailed market study data to intimidate the Third Hokage, who had never seen the outside world, into increasing investment in the workshop...

Obito ended up here because he came to help Hideki after his previous invitation.

Only children can make other children relax completely and sincerely express their opinions about various toys.

Of course, since Obito was here, there was another boy who had also accepted Hideki's invitation...

Hideki turned to look at the other corner of the Konoha street, where Asuma was also running a stall, feeling a little helpless.

Because compared to Asuma, Obito had really turned into a business genius...

At that moment, Asuma was sitting on a bench behind the stall, looking bored.

Originally, the stall location was relatively remote, and Asuma had no intention of attracting customers, so naturally, business was sparse.

Fortunately, the stall had a dazzling variety of colorful toys, and occasionally passersby would stop to ask about prices.

But even if a great opportunity arose, Asuma would still manage to irritate the customer with just a few words:

"Can't you read the label yourself?"

If it's too expensive, don't buy it!

"Do you know who I am?"

Not far away, Hideki could only cover his face.

Doesn't this kid know that customers are the Immortals of the Six Paths?

This isn't a ninja school, but nobody will spoil him here.

At that moment, a passerby approached, and Hideki couldn't help but start cheering for Asuma.

Then he saw the passerby, who resembled a bull terrier, point at a wooden doll of Senju Hashirama and ask:

"Hey, how much is this doll?"

Asuma saw that the person was well-dressed and hadn't sold many toys yet, so he offered a high price and said:

"Two thousand taels each."

"Nani? Is your doll made of gold?"

The passerby was shocked by the price and couldn't help but complain.

Asuma also realized that the price he asked for was a bit too high, but he naturally wouldn't admit it due to his shamelessness, so he said impatiently:

"Look where you can find such a detailed doll. It was carved by my own teacher. You're too cheap for me!"

The passerby was a little annoyed by the scolding, but seeing Asuma was just a child, he suppressed his anger and didn't argue with him.

Seeing how exquisite these dolls were, the passerby finally gritted his teeth and said:

"I'll take one."

"OK—"

A malicious smile suddenly appeared on Asuma's face, thinking that he had really become a business genius.

But to the passerby, it seemed like the kid had killed him.

As a counterattack, he saw many toys he had never seen before at the stall, so he deliberately joked with Asuma:

"... Are these toys of yours fun?"

Hideki, who had been eavesdropping from a distance, suddenly got excited and finally remembered why these dialogues sounded familiar...

To avoid an imagined tragedy, Hideki quickly rushed to the rescue.

The plot progressed quickly, and Asuma shouted:

"You want it! Do you want it? You..."

Crack!

Suddenly, Asuma received a slap. Asuma held his head in his hands and looked back fiercely. As a result, his rebellious expression quickly turned into guilty awareness.

"Master Hideki, why are you here?"

However, Hideki didn't answer Asuma's words, but instead apologized to the passerby in a pleasant voice:

"My students are causing you trouble."

"This kid grew up eating explosive talismans. He has a bad temper. Please forgive him for being unreasonable..."

After offering the passerby a 20% discount, Hideki turned his attention to Asuma.

He saw him still making faces behind the passerby. When the teacher looked at him, he immediately pretended to be fine.

In reality, Asuma wasn't afraid of Hideki-sensei. He was just holding back because of the Pocket Puppetmon and the special guidance he had arranged.

He had even decided that even if he was scolded, this time he would bear it.

Unfortunately, Hideki didn't seem to have any intention of scolding him. After smiling at him, he began to organize the toys at the stall, arranging them more neatly and beautifully.

This type of arrangement made Asuma feel a little uncomfortable, so he began to test:

"Master, aren't you angry?"

"Why would I be angry?"

Hideki smiled gently and said, "Asuma, this is your first time setting up a stall, so it's normal to have a few minor issues. Don't worry about it."

Although he wasn't scolded, Asuma felt a bit disappointed.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Hideki, who had always been a nonconformist, didn't treat himself differently from other teachers and only said nice things.

Indeed, in the eyes of the teacher, he was just the Hokage's son...

However, the next moment, Asuma's thoughts were completely shattered.

Because Hideki calmly added:

"After all, not everyone can be as talented as Obito and do such a great job setting up a stall for the first time."

"Asuma, it's normal that you can't compare to Obito..."

Mr. Hideki, why did you suddenly curse me!?
