Chapter 130: Kushina, you don’t want to…
That night, in the attic of the orphanage.
There are many square boundary stone floating cannons placed on the work table.
Hideki stood at the table, dismantling one of the missiles, and conducting post-war inspection and maintenance.
"Tsk, this one too?"
"The barrier protecting the core technique is about to burn through. It seems that we really need to use materials with better heat resistance. Unfortunately, we don't have the money."
"I remember that there are also techniques for isolating heat in the barrier technique. Perhaps I can refer to that..."
As Hideki muttered to himself, a pen seemed to be held by an invisible hand, recording what he said on a notebook on the table.
If you look closely, you can see that the notebook is already densely written with plans for future improvements to the floating cannon and star barrier technique.
Even though he was just a sparring partner for Minato, Hideki actually gained a lot more than Minato did from this being his first time sparring with such a high-level opponent.
The most important thing he gained was that Hideki clearly realized that he still had a long way to go before he could reach the top of the ninja world's pyramid.
If Minato had not practiced the Flying Thunder God Technique and used other means as little as possible, he would never have been able to fight his opponent effectively.
So even though I have made a lot of progress recently with the help of the village, I still can't be careless or negligent.
In addition, Hideki was also quite satisfied with his achievements in the Star Barrier Technique.
From his own experience in battle and Minato's careful guidance after the battle, Hideki has discovered the various deficiencies in this system of ninjutsu, which serve as topics for future research.
You have to know the key to this set of ninjutsu, the Kaishi floating cannon is Hideki's masterpiece.
With just a small six-way chakra compression output device, various functions such as attack, defense and movement can be achieved.
Moreover, as long as the rune technology and materials can keep up, the more chakra there is, the more powerful this ninjutsu system will be. There is no upper limit, and great strength can create miracles.
So just like Naruto's endless Rasengan, this is also a ninjutsu system with unlimited potential, enough to be used in future battles between gods.
But sometimes, if you take too big a step, you might end up hurting yourself.
Although the upper limit is very high, due to the lack of rune technology and materials, this set of ninjutsu is still in the stage of mastering everything but being loose in everything.
For example, when using a single floating gun to ram the enemy's meteor array, Minato pointed out the shortcomings of its monotonous attack pattern and average power.
However, in order to ensure mobility and stealth, the size of the Rubik's Cube is already the limit of the floating cannon.
After inserting a chakra compression output device, there was no room to install a mechanism that could threaten the jonin.
Explosive tags are one type, but Hideki couldn't bear to part with the many precious materials inside.
Not to mention that putting a detonating talisman next to a not-so-stable chakra compression device is a very suicidal act no matter how you look at it.
However, in order to prevent the enemy from becoming greedy for the floaters and wanting to take them for themselves, it is still very necessary to enhance their individual combat capabilities.
As for the methods, they are nothing more than the puppetry route and the rune route, or a combination of the two.
Hideki thought of many specific methods, but in order to find the most suitable ones, he decided to try each one and then make a decision.
In addition, there are still many difficulties to be resolved.
For example, Hideki does not have Minato's level of spatial thinking ability, and cannot perfectly control all the floating guns in three-dimensional space.
For example, in close combat mode, his body could not withstand the impact of the full output of the floating cannon, so it was difficult for him to exert his full strength.
At the same time, the floating cannon, which requires precise control through the fingers, also conflicts with the Konoha fluid technique he recently learned from Senior Dai.
However, these problems are secondary. The more urgent issue now is the source of materials.
Whether it is a floating gun or a capacitor, more rare materials are needed to unleash their true power.
Although we know that the Valley of the End is a treasure trove of these materials, based on the efficiency of previous exploration, we will probably have to spend a lot of time on it, which is not worth the effort.
Hideki's original plan was to wait until the workshop and toy store made money, then purchase the various materials needed to improve the radar device and officially begin his full-scale exploration of the Valley of the End.
However, because we have to share profits with the school and settle the initial investment first, it may take some time to raise enough money to buy materials.
But now it seems that the situation is more serious than he imagined, and the guys who covet the workshop may not give him so much time.
"It seems that I have to find a way to make some extra money during the holiday after the end of the semester..."
Hideki couldn't help but let out a wry smile, knowing that he had so many responsibilities that he would probably have to take on yet another job.
But he quickly cheered up, put the newly assembled cannon aside, picked up another cannon, and began to carefully dismantle it with chakra lines...
…
[The first day after Minato left, I miss him. ]
[The day after Minato left, I missed him. ]
[On the third day after Minato left, I missed him, missed him, missed him. ]
It was mid-November, late autumn but still fairly warm.
But after Hideki looked at the words on a page of the diary, he couldn't help but shudder.
This was not a diary he had written, but a page from the several pages of sealing techniques he had just taken from Kushina...
It was probably that Kushina suddenly had an inspiration for the sealing technique, and after picking up the diary to write it down, she accidentally tore it up along with the diary.
Given her impetuous temper, this is very likely to happen.
The question now is whether I should pretend I didn't see it, or should I pretend I didn't see it?
As for the option to give it back to Kushina...
It was really hard for Hideki to imagine what an unstable Jinchūriki would do when he was angry and humiliated.
In order to prevent Konoha from being destroyed and to protect the peace of Konoha, he could only pretend not to see it.
As for this page of paper...it can be kept as a commemoration, and it can also be considered a kind of encouragement.
To motivate myself to stand in front of Kushina with dignity as soon as possible, take out this piece of paper and say:
"Mrs. Namikaze, you don't want Minato and Naruto to know your dark history, do you?"
Having said that, Hideki's mood is actually somewhat similar to Kushina's.
After all, there are not many people in Konoha who can keep up with his thinking like Minato, and even if there are, Hideki doesn't dare to trust them.
And now that there is no Minato-brand postman, it has become a lot more troublesome to communicate with Kushina via letters.
Otherwise, Kushina wouldn't have given me so much information at once, leading me to make a mistake that I would regret for the rest of my life...
But the most important thing is that as soon as Minato left, Hideki felt that the malicious gazes around him were increasing.
Recently, some sneaky guys of unknown origin have often appeared near the orphanage.
Hideki has naturally taken precautions against this, but he still can't help but miss the time when Minato was around and he didn't have to worry about these things.
——On the fourth day after Minato left, I miss him, miss him, miss him, miss him…
…
In the Hokage's office.
The Sandaime was smoking his pipe while listening to the report from the Anbu in front of him.
"...In summary, in addition to often controlling two puppet beasts at the same time, fighting against oneself,"
"No other abnormalities have been found in Uzumaki Kushina in the past few days."
The Sandaime nodded and said:
"Thank you for your hard work. If Kushina has any recent situation, please report it to me as soon as possible."
"yes."
After watching the Anbu leave, the Sandaime exhaled a puff of white smoke with a gentle expression.
In the past, every time Minato left Konoha, Kushina would have difficulty controlling her emotions and the Nine-Tails in her body for a few days. She didn't expect it to be so peaceful this time.
It seems that Kushina's ability to suppress the Nine-Tails has improved a lot recently.
Could it be that, as Minato said, it was the work of Hideki's programming-style sealing technique?
In any case, I hope this momentum can continue and Kushina can master the power of the Nine-Tails in the near future.
This way, Konoha will have one more trump card.
The situation in the ninja world has been a bit tense lately, I just hope there won't be a chance that I have to play this trump card...
After a moment, the guard's report outside the door interrupted the Sandaime's thoughts:
"Hokage-sama, Kimura Hideki requests to see you."
"Let him in."
Then Hideki walked into the office.
"Hokage-sama, I heard you had something to ask me?"
"Yes, there is something. Please sit down first, Hideki."
The Sandaime said kindly, taking out a piece of paper from the drawer and handing it to Hideki.
"This is?"
Hideki took it and looked at it, then raised his eyebrows slightly.
Because this... is actually an application form for promotion to jonin.
