An inn for Konoha ninjas in the village of Sand Hide.

After a long day of hard training, Kurama Yakumo, who was about to get tired, was embarrassed to cope for a long time under the gaze of Haiichi Yamanaka, who had strange eyes, before dragging his tired body back to the lounge.

"What a troublesome person, what are you doing all the time staring at me? Obviously Yamanaka Ino is not a nosy person, why is her father so difficult to get along with? ”

The girl who muttered quietly just whined uncomfortably for a while, and did not intend to be answered.

"You did something wrong, so you have a weak heart! Kaichi Yamanaka is a kind man who just cares about you in his way......"

Spending money to buy places and bribing the village to open the back door is not a glorious thing in the end.

"That's why I don't know which way to sulk......"

The eldest lady of the Kurama family, who spoke, looked at the empty corner of the room, where the illusion had been hidden, and walked out of a familiar figure.

"It's been so many days, you guy, you finally have some news......"

"I'm sorry, but I'm not to blame for this, I'm just a puppet with some chakras and action modes built-in......"

Originally controlled by the outside, only by casting a psychic spell on the main body and transmitting back special chakra fluctuations across space can the stand-in puppet that has long been hidden by Kurama Yakumo's side be activated.

Usually not used, in a sealed state; Once activated, it maintains good mobility until the chakra is consumed.

"You think I'm complaining about you? I'm blaming your master......"

The puppet who accepted part of Daimaru's thinking mode defended with an innocent expression:

"If you say it to my face, the body can't hear ......"

The stand-in puppet is not a shadow clone, but a puppet with limited mobility, and if nothing else, it is impossible to return memories to the main body.

"Forget it, I'm too idle to argue with a puppet......"

Kurama Yakumo waved his hand boringly:

"Seriously, how are you going to help me catch the white clone?"

"Go according to the plan and wait for it to fall into the trap......"

"Okay!"

Kurama Yakumo nodded a little sullenly in response,

"Do you want to try it first? According to what you said, there is only one chance, and if you fail, there is almost no next time, so you have to be cautious! ”

"This is the ...... of Shayin Village"

The puppet spread his hands helplessly,

"No matter how good your illusion is, it is almost impossible to ......hide from thousands of ninjas and the Scout Enchantment."

In fact, Bai Jue's reconnaissance method of relying on the stealth of the leylines is not foolproof; Even Uchiha Obito's spatio-temporal ninjutsu, Kamui, if he can't break the barrier, or if there are spies to respond, it is impossible for him to infiltrate the five ninja villages unknowingly.

As long as there are abnormal chakra fluctuations, they will leave traces within the barrier.

"What then? I can't get too far from Shayin Village......"

Kurama Yakumo asked suspiciously.

I was originally a Konoha ninja who came to Sand Hidden Village to "learn art", because of those unexplained scandals, not only was he "protected layer by layer" by the sand ninjas, but even his companions were more concerned, and it was too difficult to act alone.

"Of course, there is a way!"

The puppet confidently replied,

"Give me a few copies of your chakra, the purer the better......"

"Chakra?"

Kurama Yakumo was a little puzzled,

"Perceptual camouflage?"

The puppet Daimaru replied:

"Recently, I have learned a lot about human puppetry......"

Halfway through speaking, looking at Kurama Yakumo's expression of ignorance, he reacted,

"You're from Konoha Village, and you probably don't know much about human puppetry! This is a by-product of the study of immortality and resurrection in the puppeteer school of Sand Hidden Village, and the chakra of the living is kept and made into a puppet......"

"Make a puppet out of a living person?"

The cruelty of this forbidden technique, even Kurama Yakumo, who has seen a lot of darkness in people's hearts, is a little unacceptable,

"That'...... You can't make me a puppet, right? ”

"It's not that exaggerated!"

The puppet shook its head in denial,

"I haven't fully mastered the craft of a producer puppet yet, and I don't plan to make a puppet unless there's a special reason! However, some of these tricks are very useful, such as using a puppet body to carry a living chakra, and you can make a double body that can almost be fake......"

The specific means are similar to the steps of a human puppet, except that they do not extract the chakra of the dying and alive, but use some of the characteristics to try to find an ordinary puppet to bear, and before the chakra is completely wiped out, it can be driven as a "split soul" clone.

The more the golem and chakra match, the larger the amount of chakra and the longer it lasts.

If the human puppetry of the Red Sand Scorpion is regarded as a high-end sports car, Daimaru actually reduced it to a grocery battery car, and the principle is similar, and the result is very different.

The stand-in puppet in this place, in fact, also borrowed from the technique of human puppetry, in a state of silence, the consumption is very small, and after the seal is opened, it will quickly burn out the chakra and move towards the end.

"Such a method, déjà vu ......"

Kurama Yakumo tilted his head and thought for a while,

"This is a bit similar to my blood inheritance limit characteristic-illusion proliferation to create a virtual personality, I am making something out of nothing, and you are using chakra to engrave according to your own template......"

"The end of ninjutsu is always the same, and the blood inheritance limit is no exception!"

The puppet said as a matter of course,

"Of course, I can only use this temporarily, not as flexible and powerful as you......"

"Each has its own merits!"

After being a "quasi-ninja" for a while, Kurama Yakumo's knowledge is not as shallow as before.

As if noticing that something was wrong, the Chakra was sealed in the scroll and handed it over.

"How long do I have to wait? More than half of the flight training has passed, and if you don't grasp it tightly, it's too late! ”

After putting away the scroll with the chakra seal, the stand-in puppet performed an anti-psychic spell, and sent it away, he smiled with satisfaction:

"Hold on to it, three days at most! You'll be ready now, and you'll be ready to go at any time! When it's done, I'm going to go into 'energy-saving mode', and the next time I call you, it's almost ......"

After speaking, the stand-in puppet retreated into the corner and sat down peacefully, without any further movement.

Kurama Yakumo took a closer look and waved his hand to hide his form with an illusion enchantment.

……

In the small village on the south coast, Daimaru, who was sitting in his bedroom with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and reached out to catch the scroll that appeared out of thin air.

On the issue of how to hide people's eyes and ears and be able to study forbidden arts without knowing it, Daimaru still put a lot of effort into it.

The last time I waited for the rabbit, it was just luck to accidentally catch a white clone, but this time I took the initiative to trap it, and the difficulty was much higher, and I had to use a foolproof strategy.
