After friendly exchanges in the mentorship game, Yayoi believes that this group of Hidden Sand Village teenagers who come to Land of Night will have some interest in learning from Puppet Technique.
He can also give a complete explanation about Hidden Sand Village.
Strike while the iron is hot, on the third day after Chiyo and others arrived at Land of Night, Yayoi started the Puppet Technique teaching course for them.
Since they have already polished the basic abilities of ninja, and Chakra is also outstanding among his peers in terms of control, Yayoi has no idea of starting from scratch, but starts directly from Chakra Threads and puppet operation.
First, let them know how to use puppets in practice and cultivate their interest in puppets. As for more complex puppet making and other skills, that will be considered later.
It didn't take long to learn Chakra Threads. In just a few days, Hidden Sand Village teenagers such as Formless, Chiyo, Ebizo, etc. were able to master it proficiently.
However, when it was my turn to use Chakra Threads to control the puppet, the difference brought by that talent was fully revealed.
While the others were still reluctantly using Chakra Threads to control the puppet to walk, Chiyo had already completed the practice in this area and could easily control a puppet.
Although it cannot be directly put into actual combat, the puppet's flexibility has become the same as that of a living person.
However, among these people, what surprised Yayoi was that the one with the best grades was not Chiyo, but the boy named Formless.
If Chiyo mastered the skill of walking when the others were still toddlers, then it was Formless's turn to master the ability of running.
In less than half a month, Formless was not only able to put the puppet into actual combat, but even began to try to control a second puppet.
The talent he showed on Puppet Technique is a bit incredible.
Within Tenshu Tower.
"It's really amazing. This boy named 'Formless' is actually preparing to control the second puppet so quickly."
Not only Yayoi, but also Irori are curious about the exploration and development of this group of Hidden Sand Village teenagers on Puppet Technique.
"Well, it's a bit unexpected. I didn't expect that there are such extraordinary talents among Sunagakure."
Yayoi is holding a form in his hand, which records the results of the last ten exchange students Hidden Sand Village.
On the report card, the boy named 'Formless''s scores in all subjects were far behind the second-placed Chiyo.
Yayoi originally thought that among this batch of Hidden Sand Village exchange students, Chiyo would be the best one in Puppet Technique's studies.
As a result, this young man named 'Formless' stood out and showed extraordinary suppressive power on Puppet Technique.
From the Puppet Technique system alone, if Chiyo is a genius in the eyes of ordinary people, then Formless is a genius in the eyes of geniuses.
"Is it very powerful? It looks a bit ordinary. He spent a lot of effort just destroying a puppet that day."
Izayoi finished handling the work at hand and came over to communicate.
He looked disapproving of the grades shown on his transcript.
She watched the entire coaching battle that day.
If it were her, Sharingan would be able to see through even the puppet controlled by Yayoi, no matter how it violated the human body characteristics and made weird and unexpected attacks.
Although Formless destroyed the puppets in the end and completed the kill, the battle process was a bit tedious. If it were her, she would have killed several puppets long ago.
"Miss Izayoi, not everyone has Sharingan."
Irori smiled helplessly.
After all, puppets are special ninja tools. How much ability they can display depends on the operating level of Puppeteer.
No matter how high the operational level of Yayoi is, ten conventional puppets cannot be the opponent of Izayoi.
There is no other reason. Sharingan's dynamic vision can see through even the movements of the puppet.
"Furthermore, fighting against puppets and operating puppets are different fields. This boy named Formless is incredibly talented in Puppet Technique."
Irori pointed out the difference.
She was a little skeptical. If he continued to grow at this rate, Formless might be able to operate more than five puppets at once after one year of study.
"Really?"
Izayoi raised his eyebrows, seeming to understand.
After all, Puppet Technique is very unpopular in the Ninjutsu system. She has never officially played against Puppeteer in the past. A layman like her really doesn't know much about the secrets here.
"It seems that Mr. Yayoi, you are going to show some real skills next time. It's just a pity that such a Puppet Technique genius is not from our side."
Irori's tone was full of regret.
Land of Night is one of the few complete Ninjutsu systems in China, and Puppet Technique is one of them.
However, what troubles her and Yayoi is that they don't know if Land of Night has bad feng shui. The special operations force composed of local Puppeteer has been developing unsatisfactoryly in recent years.
Among the ten exchange students sent by Sunagakure, not to mention Formless and Chiyo, the rest of them are making rapid progress on Puppet Technique.
She was a little worried that Puppet Technique, born from Land of Night, would spread its branches in the hands of Hidden Sand Village in the future... If that really happened, it would be a bit dark humor.
"Let's take a look again."
Yayoi nodded and did not immediately make a judgment.
But I am wondering, where did this Hidden Sand Village boy named 'Formless' come from?
At a young age, he has a strength close to that of Jonin, and in Puppet Technique, he has a talent that surpasses Chiyo... Logically speaking, such a genius of Puppet Technique should not be so unknown in the original plot line.
Then, Yayoi thought of a possibility.
Among the various characters mentioned in the original work Sunagakure, one person's name has been mentioned, but his true identity has never been revealed, but his existence is closely related to the development of Puppet Technique...
'Monzaemon...'
Yayoi This name comes to mind.
In the plot, he is the founder of the legendary First Puppeteer, White Secret Technique Chikamatsu Ten People, and the person Sasori of the Red Sands most wants to challenge.
"By the way, Irori, raise the attention level of Formless to A level, and pay special attention to his growth information in the future."
Yayoi thought about it for a moment and prepared to pay more attention to Formless.
He suspected that Formless would be Monzaemon in the future.
"Yes, Master Yayoi."
Irori was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously.
After the One Country, One Village system was established, Land of Night had a set of attention levels for important ninjas from various countries, and intelligence collection work was carried out around this group of concerned people.
Among them, S level is the highest, corresponding to the shadows of each village and High-Level Advisors.
The A-levels below this are not as good as S-levels, but most of them are powerful ninjas with great reputations. For example, Konoha Sarutobi Clan and Sasuke Sarutobi are one of the representatives of this level.
In addition, some extremely talented ninjas with unlimited futures are also included.
For example, Tsuchikage's grandson--Ōnoki.
Now we are adding another talented ninja from Hidden Sand Village - Formless.

In early April, the winter snow melts and spring flowers bloom.
"Master Yayoi, do you have any important tasks to perform when you go out this time?"
At the front door of General's Residence, Izayoi is eager to try and gear up.
Obviously, Tenshu Tower has been assisting Yayoi and Irori in processing paperwork these days, which makes her feel even more boring than working in the mining area.
Now that I can go out to perform a confidential mission, I can't hold back my excitement and say Kakuzu.
"It's not an important mission. I just came out to relax and go to Spider Forest to do some things."
Yayoi changed into clothes for going out, and was accompanied by Yaya, who was acting as an escort.
"Spider Forest? Where is that place?"
Izayoi, who was familiar with the Land of Night map, was stunned.
Spider Forest mentioned by Yayoi, is there such a place marked on the map by Land of Night?
"That's a place that won't be marked on the map. It's Tsuchigumo Clan's territory."
Yayoi explained a little bit.
Spider Forest was originally a place he called 'Silent Forest'.
However, after knowing that it was Tsuchigumo Clan's territory, it was renamed by Yayoi again and called 'Spider Forest'.
"Tsuchigumo Clan? Is it the Summoning Beast family that Yukino belongs to?"
Hearing the familiar name, Izayoi suddenly remembered the eight-legged spider that had sent him a letter.
The cat-like face impressed her deeply.
"Well, let's go."
Yayoi said hello and took the lead to take action with Yaya.
Although Izayoi had doubts, he didn't ask any more questions and followed Yayoi and Yaya closely, heading towards the north of Land of Night.
"There are so many Chakra Tree..."
When we arrived at Spider Forest, Izayoi was immediately shocked by the number of Chakra Tree in the forest.
Not only that, the Chakra that exists in the atmosphere here will also merge with the surrounding plants that can absorb Chakra, and then release Genjutsu, forming a natural protective barrier to protect this forest.
If Yayoi hadn't brought her here, Izayoi would never have imagined that such a secret place existed in the north of Land of Night.
Before coming, Izayoi thought that Tsuchigumo Clan was just a Summoning Beast family with some strength.
But when you see all the abnormalities in the forest, you know that Tsuchigumo Clan is not as simple as having some strength.
After passing through the Spider Forest, they came to the Spider Mountain Gate wrapped in thick white fog. The three of them walked through the tunnel at the bottom of the mountain and arrived at a paradise that retained its original style.
Flowers and plants that are taller than humans and full of vitality abound here.
Some trees are so incredibly tall that they tower into the sky. Human beings are as dwarfed as ants in front of these trees.
In the lush dense forest, there lives a group of eight-legged spiders of different colors and sizes.
What makes Izayoi curious and friendly is that these eight-legged spiders all have cat-like faces.
Some hairs are hard, while others are soft and curled up like fluffy balls.
Ignoring the gazes of the surrounding spiders, Yayoi headed toward the hinterland of Spider Mountain with a clear goal.
It was an extremely tall shrine. When Izayoi came here, he raised his neck and looked at the red torii beam above his head. He could only see a thin red line in the sky.
In the forest behind the shrine, Yayoi saw Tsuchigumo as big as a mountain at a glance.
The whole body is covered with gray fur, the eight legs are long and thick, and two gleaming fangs are exposed in the mouth.
It is the fourth-generation patriarch of Tsuchigumo, Tsuchigumo Clan who signed Summoning Contract with him.
"You're here, Yayoi boy. I'm thinking that it's almost time for you to arrive."
Tsuchigumo lowered his head and saw Yayoi arriving, as if he had already known that he would arrive in the near future, and was not surprised at all.
"Because when I came here three months ago, I estimated that the completion time would be these two days. So, there should be no problem with that thing, right?"
Yayoi took the time to come here three months ago, in order to check the progress of the third Chakra Life Embryo, which absorbs life force.
Then he calculated the third life embryo, and the absorbed vitality would be saturated during this period. This was the reason why he specially came to Spider Mountain at this time.
"Don't worry, I've been taking care of that thing for you. But speaking of it, that thing you cultivated is really evil. The Chakra Tree cultivated from the remains of Third-Generation Tsuchigumo has been drained of its vitality."
Tsuchigumo complained, and then glanced at Izayoi, a human woman she had never seen before.
"Is this your new woman? Hmm... a little weak."
"..."
Izayoi immediately glared at Tsuchigumo with dissatisfaction, and even Three-Tomoe Sharingan couldn't help but be exposed.
Don't think that just because you have a cat face, you can speak freely to her!
"Oh? It turns out to be Sharingan. I haven't seen him for a long time."
Tsuchigumo was surprised when he saw Izayoi's eyes, then regained his composure and turned to look at Yayoi.
"Come with me."
With that said, Tsuchigumo turned around and moved his legs towards the depths of the woods.
Within a few minutes, Tsuchigumo stopped.
Yayoi The three of them also stopped and looked ahead. There was a towering tree there that required thirty people to embrace.
This towering tree is exactly the Chakra Tree that Yayoi uses to cultivate life embryos.
The main trunk is covered with ancient rough textures, and the crown of the tree stretched above it was originally lush and leafy, but now there is not a single leaf to be found.
Bare and ruined.
