Naruto Puppet Master

After finishing his sentence, without waiting for the Third Hokage to express his opinions, Kazama Ichiro continued: "And I am also very interested in Yakushi Kabuto, whom Hokage-sama admired from the beginning. Actually, Hokage-sama thinks that he has the potential to become a noble puppet master. , then I, Ichiro Kazama, will naturally take a gamble."

"And if there are geniuses among the candidates who were not selected within the tenth number just now, then I would also be willing to bet on it."

"Hiss, President Kazama is really generous this time!" After hearing Ichiro Kazama's words, the joy in the heart of the Third Hokage completely turned into shock.

Ichiro Kazama's generosity was based on the political sophistication of the Third Hokage, but he almost lost his temper.

If investing in one or two outstanding geniuses is just a normal investment behavior.

Investing in the top ten regardless of whether they are suitable or not is a smarter and more ambitious investment. It is not only investing in people, but also the larger organization of Konoha Village.

You have to invest money anyway, and if you pay a small extra amount of investment and share it with the loser, no matter whether you succeed or not, you can get the goodwill support of Konoha Village, and the benefits will naturally be greater, but this kind of win-win thing is not Most people can have the courage and strength to do it.

After all, although the benefits of investing in local powerful institutions are great, there is a transformation process to get them. How much wealth and benefits can be truly transformed depends entirely on the vision and strength of the investor.

Those who are strong enough may make a lot of money, but if their strength and skills are not enough or there is some unexpected interference, they will lose everything if they are not careful.

If that were the case, the Third Hokage would admire Kazama Ichiro very much, but when Ichiro Kazama said that even candidates other than No. [-] were willing to invest, then in the eyes of the Third Hokage, this was more than just a simple excuse. Money.

After taking a few deep breaths, the Third Hokage suppressed the shock in his heart and said, "Is there anything President Kazama needs Konoha's help with?"

"If it is within our capabilities, we will definitely not stand idle."

Looking at the two people who had already started fighting on the ring below, Ichiro Kazama's eyes were fixed on the two small puppets Yakushi Kabuto that was being controlled intently.

A petite small monkey puppet and a mechanical puppet shaped like a rolling stone are one of the common standard puppets on the market. Even Kazama Ichiro's own caravan sells these two puppet products.

As two of the standard puppets widely circulated in the Red Sand Empire, Ichiro Kazama knew that both the dexterous monkey puppet and the offensive mechanical rolling stone were undoubtedly the basic products of puppetry. At the same time, the standard also meant With mediocrity.

There are almost no additional features other than those resulting from the production direction of the puppet itself.

Although the proud puppet masters of the Red Sand Empire always claim that puppets have their limitations, there are only incompetent puppet masters in the world and there are no incompetent puppets.

But Ichiro Kazama knows that those who can really use these basic models of puppets to form powerful combat capabilities are not simple geniuses.

Whether it is the combined tactics derived from a sufficient understanding of the puppets or the transformation of the standard puppets with one's own ideas, so that they can exert extraordinary combat power in the hands of the puppet apprentices, they all possess extraordinary powers. Puppet talent, at least part of the potential to become a puppet master.

Just like Kabuto Yakushi at this time, when facing Morinoi Kenichi, he used his extreme speed to cooperate with the high-speed slashing of his two spiritual weapons. Without Jiao Fang Dashan's super high defense, he used the mechanical puppet Rolling Stone to the limit, and combined with the flexible The monkeys and hidden weapon traps controlled by chakra threads firmly suppressed Morino Iken and could not get close.

Watching with great interest Kabuto Yakushi's step by step pressure on Morino Iken's fighting rhythm and space for movement, Kazama Ichiro chuckled and said: "Hokage-sama has filtered it, there is nothing that needs to trouble Hokage-sama right now."

"How about I hope that Hokage-sama can do a little favor if possible?"

"What is it?" The Third Hokage didn't quite understand Kazama Ichiro's somewhat contradictory words.

"A few days ago, I also heard about the empire's order to select a demon hunter from the base of the three major ninja villages on the mainland. Regarding this, I have been hoping to get on the line with that demon hunter. It's just a pity that I, the three major ninja villages, are also there. There are some connections here in Konoha, and the other two ninja village bases are not accessible to me."

"So I hope that Hokage-sama can introduce to me the genius sent by your village to fight for the Demon Hunter."

"If, in the end, a genius from your village wins the title of Demon Hunter, then it will be equivalent to meeting the Demon Hunter, don't you think?"

"President Kazama's news is really well-informed! He got the news so quickly." The third Hokage looked at Ichiro Kazama solemnly and said.

"Why does President Kazama want to know the Demon Hunter?" the Third Hokage said with a slight frown.

"I got news that when the Demon Hunter wants to work for the empire, he will travel throughout the continent and pass through countless ninja village bases. Therefore, I would like to ask the Demon Hunter to stay at the accommodation arranged by me along the way when he has a choice. In the tavern." Kazama Ichiro looked back at the Third Hokage and said unabashedly.

"Well, that's just it." The Third Hokage said.

"It's just that." Kazama Ichiro said frankly.

"it is good."

After taking a deep look at Ichiro Kazama, the Third Hokage pointed to the two children on the other side of the shorter player's resting table diagonally across the street and said: "That kid with black hair, wearing a cannon suit, and carrying a strange instrument is My favorite candidate for the Demon Hunter is the No. [-] Aburame Shison."

"Besides him, number two Kurama Yakumo is also very powerful. He may be able to defeat him for the title of Demon Hunter, but I am more optimistic about Aburame Shizon. After the game, I will introduce the final winner to you. of."

"Well, thank you, Hokage-sama." Ichiro Kazama followed the direction of the Third Hokage and looked at the two children over there.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Uzumaki Naruto, who secretly skipped class today to watch the game, looked at Aburame Shison who suddenly poked his head in confusion.

"It's nothing, it's just that someone seemed to be watching me just now." Looking at the viewing platform diagonally opposite in the dark shadows, Aburame Shison said casually.

"Tch, that's the viewing platform for Grandpa the Third Hokage!" Shun

Looking at Aburame Shison's eyes, Uzumaki Naruto immediately recognized that it was a viewing position reserved for the most powerful people such as the Hokage.

"It must be the Third Hokage. There will be no one else there except him, and let me tell you! The third generation of Grandpa's peeping tom also has a crystal ball specially used for peeping. I discovered it secretly again!"

"Ah haha! Then let him see what he wants. The old pervert's peeping in the women's bathhouse has been spread for a long time." Aburame Shison said with a laugh.But he didn't say that the gaze he just received was not the solidification of a strong man.

"It's completely different from the feeling I had when the Third Hokage spied on me before. I'm also the Third Hokage's distinguished guest, right?" Aburame Shizun, who didn't care much at all, was interrupted by Uzumaki Naruto and had no intention of going into details.

"Hey, then don't worry about the Third Hokage! Brother, please continue to tell me about the next battle!"

Hearing this, Aburame Shison also shook his head and completely gave up the plan of deep thought, and continued to introduce the following battle to Uzumaki Naruto.

"You've seen that guy with the two swords before!" Shizun Aburame pointed at Morino Iken below and said, "Although we can't tell the type of martial arts and physical skills he practices, just based on his fighting skills But it can also be seen that he is still at the level of developing the limits of his body and is not in a hurry to practice physical training."

"He is very fast, and he has spiritual weapons in his hands. Although he doesn't have any powerful martial arts, his simple sword skills and chopping combined with his speed still exert a strong combat power."

"Is he very strong? He seems to be suppressed now! He is not as agile as he was when he beat the big guy last time." Uzumaki Naruto said curiously.

"Well, he is still very good among his peers." Aburame Shizun said calmly: "At least among the group of people in the morning, only Jiao Fang Dashan who he had fought with was the opponent who could really threaten him. , no one else is his opponent.”

"Ai, they are so powerful. I think they are not as powerful as the others after fighting!" Uzumaki Naruto said.

"Idiot, the so-called strength does not come from being colorful. That kind of thing should be seen on the screen."

Aburame Shizun patted Uzumaki Naruto's head and continued: "The so-called combat strength should be as simple and direct as possible, the better, rather than pursuing the most gorgeous appearance, which does not matter at all. "

"There are many ways to practice and become stronger in this world. The prosperous world of cultivation in the temple is enough for anyone to find their own way to practice and become stronger."

"But no matter what weird and mysterious techniques, right way or left way, in terms of actual combat effectiveness, it is actually a competition of lethality and life-saving ability."

Speaking of this, Aburame Shizun grinned and looked at Uzumaki Naruto with a blood-stained tone and said: "Except for a few special forbidden arts in this world, as long as anyone has not broken through to transcendence and become a saint, then he is The body is mortal, and the fragile body is full of fatal spots.”

“因此只要你的杀伤力足够杀死敌人，并有打到对方身上的可能，那么你就是有胜算的。同时只要你的保命能力比敌人强，你就比敌人有更多的机会活下去取得victory."

"As for the warriors of martial arts and physical skills, before they practice physical training, they are also mortal bodies. Although their physiques are stronger than other practitioners, fatal injuries still exist. Therefore, in addition to suitable martial arts and combat experience, Strength and weapons determine its lethality, while speed and physique determine its life-saving ability."

"And because each person's physique and expertise are different, each warrior will have different fighting styles."

"And this Morino Iken and the previous Jiao Fang Dashan are two warriors whose specialties focus on each other. Morino Iken prefers high speed and strong attack, while Jiao Fang Dashan prefers strength and defense. Therefore, although the previous battles did not seem to be as good as those that followed. People are beautiful, but in fact the danger is also the greatest."

"Although Iken Morino seemed to be uninjured, in fact, if he had been injured in the battle with Jiao Fang Dashan, he would have lost. Similarly, if he hadn't seized the opportunity in the shortest time, he would have lost the battle." If Jiao Fang Dashan was severely injured within a short period of time, he would probably lose to Jiao Fang Dashan as he was already showing signs of being restricted in speed."

"Both of them actually have the strength to compete with high-level warriors in a short period of time." Aburame Shison said.

"Oh, then why is this guy who can fight against high-level warriors now so suppressed that he can't get close at all? Does his opponent already have the strength of a high-level warrior?" Uzumaki Naruto looked at the arena below that had turned into a wave of Iken Morino said as the whirlwind swirled around Kabuto Yakushi and attacked.

Hearing this, Aburame Shizun did not pay attention to Uzumaki Naruto's vague doubts but said with certainty: "You are right. It is true that his opponent is stronger, but his opponent is not one level stronger than him. In fact, He should be just a sliver stronger than him at most. The reason why even you can see that he is retreating and being suppressed is entirely because he is restrained now."

"Kabuto Yakushi? In this world that has completely changed, life is really full of surprises!" Looking at Kabuto Yakushi standing below, Aburame Shizun's lips twitched slightly as he looked at Uzumaki Ming, who was still little Doudou next to him. At a glance, people thought: "Sure enough, first Kurama Yakumo and even Yakushi Kabuto have completely become people of Konoha. It is the right choice to leave. Otherwise, there will still be six years before the power of the destiny of the times is fully activated. If I don’t leave, who knows how many more surprises like this are waiting for me.”

"At that time, maybe the lucky person who was supposed to be attached to the awakening side of Naruto will also have something unexpected happen to him."

"That will be the real trouble then. It is better to go outside for a while. When you come back six years later, it will be obvious who is the genius with luck." Aburame Shizun thought firmly in his heart.

"Brother, do you think the puppet master is really the strongest?" Naruto Uzumaki, who had no idea what Aburame Shison was thinking, looked at his subordinates who stood still but relied on two puppets to defeat Morino step by step. Yakushi Kabuto said in a somewhat low tone after being suppressed.

"Why do you say that?" Aburame Shizun asked curiously.

"Everyone is saying that the Puppet Master is the strongest profession and training direction. It is said that the God Emperor is the Puppet Master, and the Puppet Emperor, the strongest saint in the empire, is also a Puppet Master. Even many of the current cultivation methods are the Puppet Master's. Inspired and created by the God-Emperor.”

"It is said that the puppet master is the source of all martial arts and spiritual cultivation."

"But I can't practice the puppet technique. I can't even control a puppet." Uzumaki Naruto said in a low tone.
