Pupet Master in Konoha

Not long after, in the Hokage's office.

"Hokage-sama, Kimura Hideki is outside seeking to see you."

"Oh? Let him in."

The Sandaime, who was reviewing documents, finally relaxed his frown when he heard the news of Hideki's arrival.

Recently, conflicts on the front lines in various places have intensified, and the village's fiscal deficit problem is still difficult to improve, which really puts him under a lot of pressure.

The only thing that made him feel a little relieved was the recent changes in the Ninja School.

Seeing that the children were growing stronger under the encouragement of the points system, the Sandaime finally felt a little more hope and motivation.

Naturally, he also valued Hideki more, as he was the main contributor to the point system.

So as soon as the door opened, the Sandaime put down the documents and happily prepared to praise Hideki.

But when he saw Hideki's appearance, he couldn't help but be surprised.

At this moment, Hideki had big dark circles under his eyes and looked like he had practiced Taoism too much. He didn't even notice the ink stains on his clothes.

You have to know that Hideki always looks clean and handsome, which is very different from the image of a puppeteer in people's minds.

So what on earth had he been doing to end up like this?

Fortunately, the Sandaime's questions were quickly answered by Hideki.

"Hokage-sama, great news!"

Hideki looked tired, but his eyes were shining with excitement.

"I had an idea yesterday and conceived a ninjutsu that could make Konoha safer, so I worked on it overnight. Once I had some success, I came to report to you, Hokage."

The Sandaime suddenly realized what was going on and felt a little touched at the same time.

Because for a ninja, staying up all night is actually not a big deal.

Hideki must have put a lot of energy into this jutsu that would benefit Konoha, which is why he ended up like this in just one day.

And it made him very curious.

The ninjutsu that made Hideki, a genius inventor, take it so seriously and work day and night to complete it as quickly as possible must have brought him a lot of surprises.

However, the Sandaime was not in a hurry. He first went to the side and poured a cup of tea for Hideki, asking him to drink some water before continuing in detail.

After drinking three cups in a row, Hideki finally suppressed his excitement and began to explain the whole story.

"As you know, Hokage-sama, I have been studying sealing techniques and barrier techniques lately."

"Because we are going to shoot a movie, I have also been studying the photography and projection equipment these past two days to see if I can improve them a little bit."

"Who knew that the knowledge from these two fields would collide, and suddenly I had a bold idea."

"That is, we may be able to use rune spells to simulate the functions of these devices."

"Then, as long as we connect these techniques to the Konoha early warning barrier, with the help of its perception system covering the entire village, we can observe every situation in the village at any time."

"I have already thought of a name for this technique. It is called the Technique of Clairvoyance!"

Then Hideki began to blurt out all the things he had deduced before, of course saying that they were the plans he had conceived.

The Sandaime, who was listening nearby, gradually froze with interest, and finally became extremely strange...

Because Hideki's idea sounds more and more familiar the more I listen to it...

This... isn't this my telescope technique?

The Sandaime complained bitterly in his heart.

Although Hideki has not yet perfected the details, the idea is exactly the same.

You know, this telescope technique combined with the early warning barrier is his masterpiece, but he regrets that he has no way to make it public.

I didn't expect that Hideki, who is so young and has just started learning the Sealing Technique, could develop the complete idea of ​​this technique in just one day...

The most annoying thing is that the name is better than mine...

This made the Sandaime feel both sad and relieved, with mixed emotions in his heart.

He didn't suspect that Hideki had plagiarized him.

It's not just because he thinks he has always maintained good confidentiality.

And it is also because Hideki has proved his talent through self-taught puppetry, pocket puppet beasts, and programmed sealing techniques.

In the eyes of the Sandaime, Hideki was already an inventive genius very close to Orochimaru and Lord Tobirama, so it was not surprising that he was able to deduce the principle of the telescope technique by chance.

At this time, Hideki's introduction also came to an end.

"...As long as we have this clairvoyance system, even ninjas without the gift of perception can use it to carry out monitoring work."

"In this way, by investing more manpower, Konoha can become safer."

"At the same time, this will also free up more scarce sensory ninjas, allowing them to do work that can contribute more to the village."

"Don't worry, Hokage-sama. I estimate that as long as I invest more time into it, I will be able to develop this jutsu in about half a year."

After saying that, Hideki blinked a few times, waiting for the Sandaime's response with anticipation.

"Half a year... ahem..."

The Sandaime used the time of clearing his throat to delay for a moment, and finally made a decision in his heart.

Killing to silence someone... is naturally impossible.

Watching coldly from the sidelines... But Hideki already has a complete idea and will be able to develop this technique sooner or later.

Moreover, the Sandaime felt it was such a waste for him to spend half a year doing useless work when he was in the middle of a period of inspiration.

So he actually had no choice but to smile bitterly and say:

"Um... Hideki, your idea is indeed very good."

"Unfortunately, this jutsu actually already exists. It's called the Telescope Jutsu."

"Because it's a village secret, it's normal that you don't know it, Hideki."

When Hideki heard this, his eyes widened, his mouth slightly opened, and he was stunned for a moment.

After several seconds, he came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled bitterly,

"You already have one?"

"I thought I had made some important discovery..."

"Movie technology has only recently emerged. I didn't expect someone could come up with this idea earlier than me. It's true that there are always people who are better than you."

The Sandaime puffed out his chest a little when he heard that. He felt very happy to be admired by an inventive genius like Hideki.

Hideki noticed the Sandaime's little trick and laughed in his heart, at the same time feeling that the time was right.

In fact, his unkempt image and the behavior of a scientific madman were all intended to whitewash his knowledge of the art of telescopes and to show that he had the ability and enthusiasm to develop this art quickly.

That way, when he asks to borrow this somewhat sensitive ninjutsu, the Sandaime will be more likely to agree.

So Hideki began to speak sincerely:

"Hokage-sama, if possible, I would like to use up all my merits to borrow the secret book of the telescope technique."

"You don't need the entire content. You only need the rune rituals related to photography and projection."

"That way I can build better film equipment faster, which improves the effects that can be produced in films."

Sure enough, after a little hesitation, the Sandaime agreed to Hideki's request and gave him the complete version.

The reason why he was so confident in Hideki was, first of all, because shielding barriers were set up in the core areas of all ninja clans. Hideki could only use this technique to check the bathhouse at most, and there was no way to use it for bad purposes.

Secondly, Hideki did not have the authority to connect it to the Konoha early warning barrier, so the perception range was not large and it could not play a big role.

But it is just right for making movies.

The third generation is looking forward to what kind of interesting movie Hideki will make.

And the Sandaime was also considering Hideki's previous proposal.

Perhaps, rather than using it alone, letting more ordinary ninjas share the work of the sensory ninjas would be the best way to maximize the effect of this technique...

After Hideki has mastered this technique, perhaps we can consider letting him be responsible for promoting this matter.

So not long after, Hideki happily left the Hokage's office with the secret book of the Telescope Technique.

Before leaving, Hideki thanked him again:

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

"You won't regret it."
