Pupet Master in Konoha

Hideki had no doubt about Obito's sincerity in his gratitude at that moment.

But he was also convinced that once this boy turned dark, he would undoubtedly kill him without mercy.

In fact, Hideki initially wanted to stay away from Obito, a person who was likely to go down a dark path.

However, since he had accidentally grown close to him, Hideki would stick to his usual ways.

With his current strength, it wouldn't be reasonable for him to face Uchiha Madara.

But if he could try to change the tragedy within his reach, it would still make him very happy.

Therefore, to prevent Obito from turning dark, Hideki decided that, in addition to strengthening the boy's three-dimensional perspective, he must also continue to strengthen his psychological resilience.

To avoid the death of his childhood love, this boy planned to drag the entire Shinobi world down with him.

As for the method...

Of course, there were various inhuman practices that challenged both psychological and physical limits!

Hideki decided to work hard on his mind, tighten his muscles and bones, starve his skin, exhaust his body, and destroy his actions to turn Obito into a super tough person whose appearance remained unchanged despite the collapse of a mountain.

At that moment, he would like to see what other methods Madara could use to turn Obito dark...

So... feel the pain, Obito!

laughed arrogantly in his heart, but on the surface, he spoke in a gentle tone:

"Obito, you're welcome."

"After all, this is just a starting secret technique. I must thank Obito for continuing to provide me with useful data in the future."

Although the master's expression and words were very kind, Obito felt a sudden chill down his spine for some unknown reason, making him tremble.

Maybe it's just an illusion...

The naive Obito thought that, but he didn't know that his miserable life had barely begun.

At that moment, Hideki saw Akai's envious face, hesitant to speak. He understood and smiled, saying:

"Dai, if you're willing, you can learn together."

"Of course, the premise is that you first need to get the approval of Major Dai."

"Is it really okay, Hideki-sensei?"

Dai's eyes suddenly brightened, but then he hesitated.

"But I'm no longer a student at the ninja academy, and I don't have the points to pay you, sensei..."

Hideki smiled and said, "This is an easy question."

"In fact, after Major Dai selects and initially trains a group of security team members, I will also prepare to teach them this chakra breathing method."

"So, as long as you, Dai, are willing to help guide them in their training, it doesn't matter if I teach you this breathing method in advance."

"Great! Of course, I will!"

Dai jumped happily, then thought about what the teacher had just said and ran toward the training field near the orphanage.

"I'll ask Dad for permission now!"

By the time these words reached Hideki's ears, Dai had already disappeared without a trace...

Seeing this, Hideki could only shrug helplessly.

Taking advantage of the time, Hideki began to say to Obito:

"By the way, Obito, you'd better not use this breathing technique at the academy just yet."

"Huh? Why?"

Obito's eyes widened in disappointment, as if he had just discovered that Santa Claus didn't exist.

Because he had actually just decided to use this breathing technique in next week's physical arts class, so everyone could see the true strength of Uncle Obito.

"First of all, of course, it's because this breathing method is quite powerful."

Hideki explained: "Obito, you can easily injure yourself or others before mastering it, so you can't use it recklessly."

Obito wanted to protest, but when he saw Victim No. 1 still lying next to him, he immediately wilted.

However, after hearing what the master said next, he quickly went from sadness to joy.

"And Obito, don't you want to become famous on a bigger stage?"

Hideki smiled and said: "The academy will probably announce it next week, so it's not too much to tell you now."

"In fact, before and after the final exam, the school will hold the first special points event called [Ninja Academy No. 1 Budokai]."

"In short, it's a battle competition where all the students of the academy can participate. The first place will receive 500 points."

"Five... five hundred points!!"

Obito's eyes widened, "That's enough to ask half of Hokage for advice!"

Hideki inwardly complained, "Not that I'm enlightened, so don't open up to others casually, okay?"

It seemed that it was really necessary to improve this boy's psychological quality, as just 500 points made him incoherent.

Obito had already entered fantasy mode.

He seemed to see himself winning the martial arts tournament, holding a huge check of 500 points in his hand, enjoying the cheers of the professors and students of the academy...

Just thinking about it for a moment, Obito's hair almost fell to the ground...

Suck!

Obito finally regained his senses and sucked the halo into his mouth like noodles through the chakra breathing secret. Hideki took a few steps back with a look of disgust on his face.

"Master! I'll definitely master the breathing method before the martial arts competition!"

Obito clenched his hands in front of his chest and shouted in high spirits.

Hideki nodded with a smile and thought to himself:

Very well, the carrot of the Fireball Technique is about to expire, so it's time to replace it with the fresh carrot of the Budokai.

Otherwise, if there's nothing to dangle in front of Obito, with this kid's temperament, he would definitely be discouraged by the more cruel training later...

Not long after, Dai came running back, happily saying that he had received permission from his father.

Hideki took out a white soldier helmet and gave it to Dai. After explaining the basic techniques, he asked both Obito and him to practice on the side.

After both of them happily left, Hideki turned to Asuma, who was still lying down, and said calmly:

"Now that you're awake, get up. There are a lot of insects on the ground here."

"So, master, are you still leaving me here?"

Asuma complained to himself before sitting up.

In fact, he had already woken up when the master explained the so-called chakra breathing method.

He just didn't know how to face everyone, so he kept pretending to be asleep.

So he already knew about the breathing method and the fact that he had actually been defeated by Obito.

Asuma couldn't remember how he lost.

Maybe it was because he fainted so quickly, or maybe because his subconscious didn't want to think about those painful memories...

But now, when he looked at Obito, who wasn't far away, his rear end couldn't help but tighten.

Asuma knew that this was an instinctive human reaction when nervous and afraid.

It surprised him and made him curious. What terrible moves had Obito used to leave a mark of fear on his body?

At the same time, this fear further solidified the fact that he had lost to Obito, the weakest person, and made the last shred of pride in Asuma's heart completely collapse.

Although Obito had mastered the so-called chakra breathing technique, he could only defeat himself by surprising him.

Though there were still many methods he hadn't used, if he did it again, the result would definitely be different.

But Asuma knew very well that all these were objections in a real ninja battle; the enemy wouldn't give him a second chance.

He finally began to understand why his father rarely praised him.

Because, compared to the resources he had received, the achievements he had made so far were simply not worth mentioning.

For example, he had learned a lot from the Hokage's father, but in the end, he still couldn't defeat Obito, who had only received some instructions from the teacher.

Of course, Asuma didn't believe that Hideki-sensei's teaching skills were better than his father's, who had taught the Sannin, so the problem clearly lay with him.

This confused him a bit.

His old self had always been eager to break free from the shackles of his identity as the Hokage's son.

But now he realized that all his pride seemed to be based on that identity.

If you remove it, what's left?

Probably... just being a street vendor?

Asuma couldn't help but sneer and then said with a bitter look:

"Master Hideki, now I realize I'm useless."

"I talk all day about not wanting others to treat me as the Hokage's son, but without this identity, I'm basically useless..."

"It's not necessarily the case."

Hideki smiled slightly and said:

"Because only after you've done your best can you start talking about things like talent and skill."

"From what you said, Asuma, you've never worked hard on your own. How can you easily deny everything about yourself?"

When Asuma heard this, his eyes finally became a bit more angry, but he was still a little indecisive.

"But master, how can I be sure that I trust my own strength and not the various benefits I got from my status in the past?"

"I don't think we need to distinguish it so clearly."

Hideki smiled and said: "After all, it's hard for humans to completely get rid of the influence of identity."

"Of course, if you really want to be serious, Asuma, you can also choose some new clues to minimize the interference factors."

After saying that, Hideki turned his gaze towards Obito and Dai, who were training, and then looked towards the workshop not far away.

Asuma followed Hideki's gaze and quickly understood what the master was trying to convey...
