Pupet Master in Konoha

Today, there was an atmosphere of anticipation and excitement at the Ninja Academy.

The reason was very simple: the little ninjas in the Puppet Class had been waiting for several days, and finally, it was time for Master Hideki to distribute the Pocket Puppet Beasts!

Although this made other students feel a bit sour, they secretly looked forward to the puppet classroom that was about to open, where all the students would get to play with puppets.

However, not everyone had forgotten that the master had said that students who hadn't turned in their assignments would be suspended from receiving Pocket Puppet Beasts in their group.

Therefore, most of the students not only finished their homework early but also supervised each other.

Thus, the lazy students who liked to leave their work until the last minute got a VIP treatment of catching up with their homework under the watchful eyes of more than a dozen classmates.

And to prevent anyone from forgetting to bring their homework or not having enough words and getting rejected by the master, everyone also chose the oldest and most reliable Ebisu as the representative to go to each class early and check and collect the homework.

Of course, that's what Ebisu said.

In reality, everyone thought that this troublesome task should be left to the meddlesome Ebisu...

Regardless of the process, the puppet class officially began. When Hideki entered the classroom, he saw one hundred and eight homework books neatly placed on the podium.

Additionally, what caught Hideki's attention were the big eyes of the little ninjas, which were shining with greed, like wolves and tigers.

The enthusiasm of the children surprised Hideki and left him speechless. He couldn't help but sigh:

How wonderful it would be if this were a desire for puppets! It's a shame that what everyone covets isn't the puppet technique, but the puppet beast's body...

He picked up a few homework books, flipped through them, and found no problems. Then, seeing the big eyes of the children filled with expectation, Hideki couldn't resist, so he gave a French military salute and said:

"Alright, we should discuss the groupings at the end."

"But since everyone is so eager, let's do the groupings first..."

"Long live Master Hideki!"

The anticipation exploded instantly, and the cheers of the little ninjas immediately went to Hideki.

The cheers didn't stop for a long time, so much so that Hideki had to release a bunch of chakra threads and place them in everyone's ears, then whispered:

"If we keep making noise, we'll start the class right away."

Although his voice wasn't loud, Hideki's words were clearly transmitted to the little ninjas' ears through invisible chakra threads.

Then, everyone's heated minds suddenly cooled down, and they quickly covered their mouths, not daring to speak.

The classroom fell silent, and Hideki nodded in satisfaction when he saw this.

This technique, invented based on the traditional principle of secret sound transmission, was very easy to use and effective every time.

Hideki then began to announce his pre-arranged group list.

Since there were a total of one hundred and eight students, Hideki decided to temporarily form groups of six, with each group receiving one Pocket Puppet Beast.

To balance the combat power of everyone, Hideki first assigned the sixteen most powerful students to different groups as core members.

Then, he organized teammates according to the characteristics of the core players.

For example, Yuhi Kurenai, who was addicted to playing house with puppets, was asked to form a theater group with her playmates.

Nohara Rin, who had started studying the use of chakra threads, was assigned several girls with good chakra control, hoping they could learn and promote each other to form a chakra thread specialist group.

Ebisu formed an intelligence team with the Four Eyes Legion, who were good at gathering intelligence.

Genma formed a ninja tools team with students skilled in using ninja tools.

In addition to his love for torture instruments, Ibiki also seemed interested in various trap mechanisms, so Hideki also found some students who enjoyed setting up obstacle courses for puppet beasts to form a trap team with him.

As for Asuma, who was said to have been getting along well lately, Hideki specially prepared some civilian students with very strong personalities and a bit of resentment toward the rich to prevent him from returning to his old habits...

Finally, there was Obito. Due to a compensatory mentality that seemed to have caused him a bit of misfortune, Hideki found some good old students to form a good group for him so that he wouldn't be ostracized again.

Since the groups were mainly divided according to personality and hobbies, everyone was quite satisfied with their teammates, except for Asuma.

The simple fact that he couldn't be in the same group as the person he liked still made some of the younger students feel sad, like Obito and Asuma.

Hey, so is Asuma actually the biggest loser?

Hideki said that it was absolutely fair and impartial, and that he didn't attack his son because of the unfavorable funding assignment for the Third Generation Project.

After the groupings, it was naturally time for the little ninjas to receive the Pocket Puppets they had been eagerly awaiting.

To satisfy everyone's wishes as much as possible, Hideki asked everyone to discuss in groups and select the puppet beast they most wanted.

After a while, Hideki received a note from each group with the results of their discussions.

But the more he looked at it, the stranger his expression became.

"Out of the eighteen groups, fourteen chose Charmander."

"Why didn't I know that Charmander was so popular?"

The little ninjas in the audience looked at each other but hadn't expected that everyone would have the same idea.

As the guilty party, Obito whistled with a guilty expression on his face while feeling very annoyed.

I'm so stupid, really.

If I had known better, I wouldn't have spread the word that Charmander would learn to spit fire just to show off.

After the master's earlier demonstration, everyone already knew that Charmander wasn't weak, and now that they knew it would learn to spit fire, of course, they would choose it as their group's puppet beast.

If you weren't assigned Charmander in the end, wouldn't you be shooting yourself in the foot?

"To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed."

Hideki dropped the note and shook his head slightly.

Seeing everyone perk up their ears, he continued.

"I think everyone chose Charmander as their group's puppet beast after learning that it would have the ability to spit fire."

"This really isn't anything surprising. Considering that there will be many tests and group competitions in the future, it's normal for everyone to make that decision."

"However..."

Having said this, Hideki shook his head and sighed.

"What really disappoints me is why people think that only Charmander, one puppet beast, can be upgraded?"

Huh?

The little ninjas' eyes gradually opened wide, and they seemed to begin to understand what the master was trying to say.

Hideki extended his hands and continued:

"You see, for the sake of balance, I deliberately made sure each group has similar strengths."

"So, how can I make Charmander stand out among the Puppet Beasts?"

Seeing the eyes of many young ninjas in the audience beginning to shine, they obviously understood what he meant. Hideki stopped being pretentious and took three puppet balls out of his sleeves as usual.

Click, click, bang! After several transformations, three familiar Pocket Puppet Beasts appeared in front of Hideki.

"Charmander, Ember."

As Hideki spoke, Charmander opened its mouth wide and let out a small flame forward.

It's too late; the little fire dragon can spit fire!

While the little ninjas were delighted, they couldn't help but complain in their hearts.

Obito was so excited that he stood up and clapped, his hands turning red.

After Hideki gave him a roll of the eyes, he continued:

"Squirtle, Bubble."

Squirtle opened its mouth in response and spat out a series of bubbles.

"So beautiful."

Bubbles shining with colorful lights flew all around the students' heads, and the girls couldn't help but admire them.

However, the little boys had some doubts about the actual effectiveness of this move in combat.

Finally, Hideki added: "Bulbasaur, ."

Wow!

As soon as he finished speaking, several shuriken-shaped blades shot out from the seed mechanism on Bulbasaur's back and stuck into the ground not far away.

"Wow..."

The powerful and hidden long-range attacks gained the favor of ninja enthusiasts like Genma.

"Master, give me a chance, I want to choose again!"

"Yes, we'll talk about that later."

The little ninjas started sending requests to reselect the puppet beast.

Seeing that Squirtle and Bulbasaur also had their own upgrades, everyone no longer needed to obsess over Charmander that spits fire and could choose their favorite puppet beast.

"It's not impossible to make a new decision."

Hideki clapped to silence everyone and then said in a playful tone:

"But are you sure you want to discuss this now?"

"If you want to learn the real marvel of Pocket Puppetmon: the Puppetmon transformation system, I'll begin introducing it next..."
