This concept is quite understandable.
It's like playing a game where an average person can usually only control one hero at a time. Whether the hero's strength and complexity can be fully utilized is another matter.
The Black Secret Technique allows you to control multiple heroes at once, and your control over each hero can reflect your own skill level, effectively doubling or tripling your combat power.
"The key to the Black Secret Technique lies not only in the advanced use of chakra threads but also in the technique's reference to the Shadow Clone Technique, which utilizes chakra to separate consciousness. It's quite challenging. Therefore, all Black Secret Techniques are equivalent to B-rank or higher ninjutsu. Those who can master the Black Secret Technique are at least elite among Chunin."
"Of course, the danger of this technique is lower than the Shadow Clone Technique. When a Shadow Clone is dispelled, all the clone's sensations and memories return to the original body in an instant. For most ninjas, this is very dangerous, especially on the battlefield, as it requires a strong will to endure the influx of vast information."
"The Black Secret Technique also consumes a considerable amount of mental energy, but it progresses gradually. When the user is about to reach their limit, they can stop. The safety of practicing it is still high. Moreover, after mastering the Black Secret Technique, one can easily learn the Shadow Clone Technique."
"Next, I will explain the classification of chakra thread usage in the Black Secret Technique. Remember, this information is confidential..."
Clearwater silently recorded every word of the instructor on the scroll at a rapid pace.
Beside him, Scorpion was doing the same.
Both Clearwater and Scorpion had entered the sixth squad of the Puppet Brigade.
After collecting information, considering several options, and inquiring with Jonin Morimi, Clearwater finally decided to join the sixth squad.
Clearwater's talent in puppetry stood out among the excellent puppeteers during the selection, with the only one who could be compared being Scorpion, who was two years younger.
Therefore, the conditions given by each squad were actually quite good, and it was not necessarily worse than the B-rank puppet given to the little boy.
However, the sixth squad was indeed the most suitable squad for Clearwater.
What made Clearwater determined was Scorpion's invitation.
A few days ago, Scorpion found him and invited him to join the sixth squad together, saying that he wanted to defeat Clearwater in the next competition, and it would be more convenient if they were both in the sixth squad.
Even the grandson of Elder Chiyoda had joined the sixth squad. Not to mention, as stated by Ishibe, the sixth squad was undoubtedly the safest squad in the Puppet Brigade.
Only after the final lesson would they truly be considered members of the Puppet Brigade.
Their files submitted to the Puppet Brigade and the orders issued by the high-level officials of the Hidden Sand Village would only take effect at this moment.
"Indeed, by entering the Puppet Brigade, I am...".
"The status of the Sand Hidden Village has been elevated, and its importance in the entire world has also increased accordingly."
Walking along the corridor, Hardy remained calm, shifting some of her attention to the panel.
At this moment, the progress bar soared rapidly, rushing from the previous 17.91% to 34.8% before slowing down, still slowly inching forward.
"We're here."
Hardy's indifferent voice brought Hardy's attention back from the panel.
They had arrived at the base of the Sixth Division within the Puppet Brigade headquarters.
From the outside, it looked like a factory of moderate size, built entirely from hard rocks.
The Sand Hidden Village was poor, and trees in the desert were precious. Generally, buildings were not made of wood but mainly of rocks and compacted sand.
"Ah, finally, new recruits have arrived. Now I can also be considered a senior!"
As soon as they pushed open the gate, a lively female voice rang out.
Hardy looked over and saw two men and a woman standing not far away.
The girl speaking had her face painted with white colors similar to wild Lin, with a white cloth wrapped around the top of her head, tying up her hair, looking like she was fifteen or sixteen years old.
"Cough, Jian Xue, I heard that this new recruit has a strong background, so you better not try to act like a senior."
Beside the girl named Jian Xue was a young man with a similar appearance, probably two years older than Jian Xue. There was a resemblance between the two.
The remaining one was the Hidden Stone Shinobi they had met before.
"Finally, you two are here. Let me introduce briefly. This is the Third Squad of the Sixth Division, I am your captain, also the vice-captain of the Sixth Division, Shinobi Ishihara."
Ishihara crossed his arms and introduced himself formally.
"I am Jian Xue, a Chunin, proficient in Earth Release, and also know some basic medical ninjutsu."
"I am Jian Ye, a special Jounin, Jian Xue's brother, also the vice-captain of the Ishihara team, proficient in Wind Release and Earth Release."
The other two members smiled gently at Hardy and Hardy as they introduced themselves.
"Hardy, Genin, proficient in... um, besides Puppet Jutsu, there's nothing else I'm good at."
Hardy shook hands with the team members.
Apart from Puppet Jutsu, his other physical and ninjutsu skills were only at an average level among Genin, nothing outstanding.
"Scorpion, Genin, same as him."
Scorpion still had that cold and indifferent look, and his introduction was also brief.
His emotions were always extremely flat towards things or people he wasn't interested in.
"This is something I've been keeping for you."
Ishihara handed over the sealed scroll he had been carrying on his back to Hardy.
Inside was the puppet they had agreed upon earlier, a little boy.
"Also, Scorpion, there's something else, your grandmother said to give it to you after you entered the Puppet Brigade."
Ishihara took out a booklet from his ninja tools bag.
"This is a manual on human puppet-making. Elder Chiyo said it must be handed over to you personally."
Scorpion looked at the familiar handwriting on the cover, slightly stunned.
"I understand."
...
...
Hardy, joining the Puppet Brigade was best for receiving advanced knowledge of puppetry, such as the Black Secret Technique.
Secondly, members of the Puppet Brigade could purchase items from the brigade's warehouse at internal prices.
This way, Hardy could purchase materials at a lower cost to improve his puppets.
Not only him but also Fatty.
A puppet weighing less than fifteen kilograms was a benefit for the puppeteers who participated in that training selection.
However, Hardy was not in a hurry to modify his puppet.
Because he planned to learn more knowledge before doing so.
The panel was just a tool that could help him perfect his puppets to the limit of his knowledge and materials in the shortest time.
