Chapter 105: The teacher is feeling a little weak
So in the following time, Hideki began to explain the method of constructing the Chakra Pen.
A pipe that specifically transports chakra, a fin that controls the flow, and a pen tip that outputs chakra...
Although the structure of the Chakra Pen is quite complicated, the little ninjas are learning it at not slow at all.
This made everyone feel surprised and they couldn't help but recall what the teacher had just said:
"…Even if I no longer make simple toys, the skills and experience I learned from this will definitely not be in vain."
They then understood that the skills and experience the teacher talked about were not limited to hand-made craftsmanship, but more importantly, they were becoming more and more proficient in the chakra carving knife that they had mastered without realizing it.
Because everyone soon discovered that the construction methods of the Chakra Knife and the Chakra Pen were very similar.
This is not simply because the two have similar shapes.
Instead, the chakra engraving knife that the teacher had taught us before already had space reserved for the chakra pen parts.
Or perhaps the Chakra Knife itself is a shortened and deformed version of the Chakra Pen.
After the young ninjas figured this out, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts:
"Does Teacher Hideki really need to be so far-sighted?"
"I was actually preparing for this day when I was teaching you how to carve the chakra knife..."
But thanks to this, even though Hideki hasn't started teaching step by step, everyone can already build a relatively stable chakra pen.
And at the moment of successful construction, everyone couldn't help but feel a strong sense of pride.
Being able to master a sophisticated chakra tool so quickly made everyone feel their own progress more clearly and became more grateful to Teacher Hideki.
However, they were too happy too soon.
Constructing the chakra pen is only the first step in drawing the rune spell. The next step is the real challenge...
Although Hideki and Kushina have already deduced a dozen very simple and easy-to-learn basic runes through the idea of programming-based sealing techniques.
But it is easy to learn for them after all.
For those little kids who haven't even graduated from Ninja School, learning these basic runes is still a daunting challenge even with the help of the Chakra Pen.
Fortunately, Hideki had anticipated this situation and had prepared a countermeasure early...
After everyone had basically built a stable chakra pen, Hideki began to distribute small pieces of wood as materials for practicing drawing runes.
After each of the little ninjas received ten pieces of wood, they were speechless and complained in low voices about their teacher's thriftiness.
Because the piece of wood is only one centimeter square and is quite thin, I'm afraid that if the wind blows, I won't know where it will disappear.
"You really don't know how to appreciate your blessings."
Seeing this, Hideki spread his hands helplessly and said,
"You know, this small piece of wood is a treasure that many sealing ninjas have been longing for in the past."
"You may not know that in the past, learning the sealing technique had to face a big problem."
"That is, the cost of practicing drawing runes is too high."
"This is because the key to the rune is not the words on the surface, but the subtle changes in chakra concentrated in the strokes when drawing."
"So if you just draw them on ordinary paper and observe them with your naked eyes, you can't tell whether they are successful or not."
"So unless you have a master teacher who is proficient in both sealing techniques and perception ninjutsu to practice with you."
"Otherwise, you'll have to practice repeatedly using a large number of expensive talisman scrolls that have chakra conduction properties."
"Such harsh conditions are the reason why the Sealing Technique is becoming increasingly rare despite being very powerful."
"Even I, the teacher, spent almost all my savings on this."
Most of the people here at this time are students from civilian families or small ninja clans.
So when everyone heard this, they felt a sense of frustration that it was out of their reach and were almost discouraged.
Fortunately, Hideki used a "but..." to keep everyone here temporarily.
"But...times have changed, kids."
Hideki smiled and said,
"The programming style sealing technique invented by your teacher Kushina happens to solve this problem."
"Because it is different from the traditional sealing technique that focuses on the spirit and not the form, and seeks to reduce the number of runes through subtle chakra changes."
"The programming flow of sealing techniques focuses more on form than spirit, that is, by stacking a large number of simple basic runes, it can achieve an effect similar to the traditional method."
"Although this will consume more talisman scrolls when used."
"However, since the basic rune structure is simple, the requirements for the rune scroll are greatly reduced."
At this point, Hideki picked up the small piece of wood and said with a smile:
"For example, this small piece of wood that everyone dislikes is actually the lowest quality chakra conduction material."
"Although it is cheap, it has to go through multiple processes to create paper that can be used to write runes, so it ends up being very expensive."
"But thanks to the fact that basic runes are not picky about materials, we can now directly use them to draw runes, which greatly reduces the cost of practice."
"Plus, these materials have always been produced by our Senju clan in Konoha, and they gave our workshop a considerable discount."
"So our workshop has enough confidence to let everyone learn to draw the seal runes together."
When the little ninjas heard this, they subconsciously held the small pieces of wood in their hands tightly, fearing that they would be blown away by the wind.
Because no one would have dreamed that there were so many unknown tricks hidden behind this small piece of wood.
In order to enable these children to master the technique of drawing runes as soon as possible, teachers Hideki, Kushina, and even the Senju clan have made so many contributions.
This made everyone feel that the small pieces of wood in their hands began to become heavy, and they were determined to study hard and not let their hard work go to waste.
But Hideki's explanation is not over yet.
"And the reason why this little piece of wood, which I call a rune piece, is so small is not because I am stingy, but because of another reason."
As Hideki spoke, he drew a rune on a small piece of wood with a chakra pen under everyone's curious gaze.
Then he took out a strange wooden board the size of a palm, and placed the drawn rune piece in the groove in the middle of the board.
"Perfect! Have your hands been kissed by the Sage of Six Paths!?"
Hideki's slightly exaggerated praise suddenly rang out.
However, the little ninjas did not think that the teacher was bragging.
Because they were surprised to find that the sound actually came from the wooden board.
"Where, where."
Hideki first responded modestly, and then continued to explain in everyone's speechless eyes,
"Rune Detector, this is the name of this wooden board."
"It works just as you can see. It can detect the level of rune drawing on the rune sheet and give a corresponding evaluation using voice."
"Don't think this is any big deal."
"You know, the traditional seal rune technique requires it to be done in one go, otherwise it won't work."
"And the effect of a single rune is usually not very obvious."
"So even if you have a mine at home and can use a lot of rune paper scrolls to practice, it is still difficult for beginners to determine whether they have mastered the corresponding runes before they can draw rune spells with obvious effects."
"Only the rune formula of the programming flow sealing technique can be disconnected and reconnected like this, and even the runes can be replaced at will."
After hearing this, everyone's curiosity has been completely aroused.
But some are interested in the magical programming flow sealing technique, and some are interested in the interesting rune detector.
Many people want to hear what kind of evaluation the runes they draw will get.
Seeing that the time had come, Hideki began to move on to the next step, teaching everyone how to draw runes step by step, just like before...
What's different from usual is that this time, even if Hideki pushes his spider-sensing technique to its limit, he may still not be able to fully capture the subtlest changes in chakra when everyone draws runes.
To this end, Hideki secretly performed the Shadow Clone Technique, just like when he used the Chakra Workshop Technique to show off, and let it hide in a pre-prepared compartment.
Then he connected with it through the magic circle drawn in the studio and used the brainstorming technique to temporarily enhance his perception ability.
And the result was just as Hideki had hoped.
With the help of brainstorming, he finally had the capital to guide everyone on how to draw runes.
However, there is always a trade-off.
Although Hideki only used one shadow clone, he also turned on the energy-saving mode as much as possible to reduce consumption.
But maintaining the brainstorming technique and spider sense technique at the same time made his meager chakra supply even more stretched, and he had to take a good rest every ten minutes or so.
The little kids naturally don't understand the mystery behind it.
Seeing the teacher having to rest all the time and looking pale, they couldn't help but whisper:
"Don't you think the teacher seems a little weak..."
You are the one who is weak, your whole family is weak!
Hideki, who has a keen ear, found out that his reputation was damaged and he almost burst into tears.
He immediately made a decision in his mind:
After the toy store opens, I will have to start studying how to make up for my lack of chakra.
In fact, he had already found a breakthrough in his previous research. Now all he needed was time to do the research...
