Pupet Master in Konoha

The ninja school had been as busy as a festival these past few days due to course selection.

The initiator was the newly established puppet course.

The unique teaching methods, the novel and interesting pocket puppet beasts, and even the young and handsome teacher Hideki deeply attracted the children's attention and became a lasting topic of discussion.

But as the saying goes, a single flower does not make a spring, but when a hundred flowers bloom together, the garden is filled.

Just like the ripple effect, the appearance of the puppet course caused other instructors in the training department to go all out to retain their students, making the school livelier than ever.

There are instructors from training courses supported by departments. Many of them directly invite ninjas who have recently been in the spotlight as guest teachers for their departments.

For example, Nara Shikaku, Yamazaka Kaiichi, Aburame Shimi…

Without exception, they are the brightest among the young ninjas and the object of admiration for many young ninjas.

In addition, what they would teach at the school are lessons learned from real combat, full of useful information, which attracts the attention of many practical students.

There are also instructors in training courses who have imitated Hideki's Pocket Puppet Beast and attracted young ninjas to sign up with various perks and courtesies.

For example, if you sign up for the medical class, you'll receive a free physical exam package for your whole family at the Konoha Hospital, or a 20% discount voucher for the barbecue restaurant in the logistics class for a year.

Although these perks can't compare to the Pocket Puppet Beasts, for some undecided students, these gifts can be the deciding factor.

Under the guidance of the teachers, many young ninjas in the school fell into the wonderful dilemma of not knowing which course to choose.

It wasn't until yesterday that Hideki suddenly announced that the pocket puppet beasts would be available to all students, bringing an end to this farce.

Naturally, all the students in the school applauded and praised Teacher Kimura for his noble character and integrity.

Because there was no interfering factor like the Pocket Puppet Beast, they no longer had to worry and could choose the training courses they truly wanted based on their own desires.

However, for the teachers who had been busy, although this was good news, they still wanted to vomit blood.

"No, Teacher Kimura, couldn't you have announced this earlier?"

"Hahaha, Hideki, didn't you see how the other training course teachers looked so regretful when they heard the news?"

Thinking of the extremely confused expressions on the other instructors, Inuzuka Jaw couldn't help but slap the table and burst into laughter.

"Luckily, they had gathered earlier and tried to find ways to lure students into their courses, but in the end, you took the students and made their plans look like a joke."

At that moment, Hideki was still assembling parts. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but mutter under his breath:

"Senior Jaw, I heard that in your follow-up class, the student with the best final score will receive a small ninja dog as a reward…"

Inuzuka Jaw's smiling face suddenly froze, and he pretended to grit his teeth, replying:

"It was forced by the department leader, who said that if the class has too few students, they'll ask me to teach again next year!"

Hideki looked at him with a half-smile and nodded knowingly.

Inuzuka Jaw quickly changed the subject, saying:

"But of course, Hideki, don't you worry that most of your students will leave once this news spreads?"

"After all, even though the reputation of puppets in school has improved a lot, it's still the same in the village. After all, the students might have concerns..."

Hideki was moving his fingers, manipulating chakra threads to assemble a pile of newly made parts, and smiled as he said:

"Anyway, I launched the Pocket Puppet Beast initially just to get the kids interested in trying to learn puppetry."

"Now that the goal has been achieved, that's enough."

"Forcing students who aren't interested in puppets to stay will only waste both of our time."

"Of course, the most important thing is to teach the children according to their aptitudes and let them take the path that suits them best. Isn't that the responsibility of our training instructors?"

At this point, Hideki had just finished assembling a pocket puppet beast.

It looked like a strange seed, but behind it wasn't a seed, but a cocoon that had yet to bloom.

Upon hearing Hideki's words and looking at the new Pocket Puppet Beast in front of him, Inuzuka Jaw couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

He hadn't volunteered to teach at the school, so he had been going along, just planning to finish the school year.

There was a huge difference between him and a teacher like Hideki, who genuinely cared about his students.

Of course, as an adult, he wouldn't be so passionate about Hideki's words and would dedicate himself wholeheartedly to education.

But he secretly decided that at least he would be worthy of his salary and fulfill the basic duties of a teacher during this year...

…

Then, time began to pass again, and soon it was the fourth week of the new semester.

This meant the day for signing up for training courses had arrived.

That day, the discussion in the ninja school about which training class to attend disappeared completely.

Thanks to the competition for students caused by Hideki's puppet class, the children already knew very clearly which course to choose after countless struggles.

So, after the director of each class handed out the registration forms, the students almost immediately wrote down the courses they wanted to sign up for.

Kurenai Yuhi rested her chin on one hand, smiling faintly, and wrote the name of the puppet class on the registration form.

Sarutobi Asuma looked at Kurenai Yuhi, a bit disgusted, but recalling the joy of the previous battle with Mr. Kimura, he pursed his lips and wrote the name of the puppet class on the registration form.

Uchiha Obito was curious about what tasks Mr. Kimura would assign him and, at the same time, hoped to get rid of his reputation as a loser, so he wrote the name of the puppet class on the registration form.

Nohara Rin remembered how the teacher kindly solved her problems at sunset, and her eyes became more determined as she wrote down the names of both the medical class and the puppet class on the registration form.

Shiranui Genma, Ebisu, Morino Ibiki…

There were also small ninjas who might not even have names in the original story.

With their longing for puppetry and hope to change their destiny, they wrote the name of the puppet class on their registration forms...

Then, as always, during the training class, they once again arrived at the puppet classroom, which had been transformed from a ruined storage room.

As fewer students arrived, the classroom returned to emptiness, which made everyone's determination waver slightly.

At that moment, suddenly a small meow was heard.

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw a small black cat walking skillfully among them. It finally jumped onto the high platform and began to lick its fur quietly.

Then, the familiar "coo" sound echoed above their heads.

Everyone looked up and saw a round, red owl floating above the storage room, cooing before finally landing on a beam over the high platform.

The familiar scene made everyone smile knowingly, remembering how they were tricked into coming to class by the small black cat, and the plump owl had also brought them many surprises and scares.

Recalling the initial curiosity, affection, and tact, everyone reaffirmed their feelings, and their eyes became firm once again.

As the soul of the course, Teacher Kimura also appeared on the high platform.

Still wearing his usual dark blue kimono with wide sleeves, his black hair tied up in a ponytail, young and handsome...

"Welcome back to this puppet classroom, so today we'll continue our journey of exploring the secrets of puppetry..."

When the familiar opening words of the teacher rang out, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of peace, and they all unanimously thought in their hearts:

"I'm back!"
