Hiding in the sand, splitting into many places, starting with Arkham

This is actually easy to understand.

It's roughly like playing a game. Normally, a person can only control one hero at a time. Whether the hero's strength and complexity can be fully utilized by the user is another matter.

Black Secret Technique allows you to control multiple heroes at once, and you can exert your own level of control over each hero, which is equivalent to doubling or tripling your combat power.

"The key is not only that the Black Secret Technique uses chakra threads in a more advanced way, but also that the Black Secret Technique refers to the technique of separating consciousness by using the characteristics of chakra in the Shadow Clone Technique. It is very difficult. Therefore, all Black Secret Techniques are equivalent to B-rank or higher ninjutsu. Those who can skillfully master the Black Secret Technique are at least elites among the Chunin."

"Of course, the danger level of this technique will be lower than that of the Shadow Clone. When the Shadow Clone is dispelled, all the feelings and memories of the clone will return to the main body in an instant. For most ninjas, this is very dangerous, especially on the battlefield. Without a strong enough will, it is impossible to withstand this massive amount of information."

"The Black Secret Technique also consumes a lot of mental energy, but it is gradual. You can stop when the user is about to lose control. The safety of cultivation is still very high, and after mastering the Black Secret Technique, it is actually easier to learn the Shadow Clone Technique."

"Next, I will explain the classification of how the Black Secret Technique uses chakra threads. After you record it, you are not allowed to spread it…"

Shimizu silently wrote down every word of the instructor on the scroll, his pen moving quickly.

Beside him, Sasori was doing the same thing.

Both he and Sasori had entered the sixth squad of the puppet unit.

After collecting information, several considerations, and inquiring with Jonin Mami several times, Shimizu finally decided to join the sixth squad.

Shimizu's talent in puppetry stood out among the many excellent puppeteers during the selection process. The only one comparable was Sasori, who was two years younger than him.

Therefore, the conditions given by each squad were actually very good, not necessarily worse than that B-level little boy puppet.

However, the sixth squad was indeed the most suitable squad for him.

And what made Shimizu make up his mind was Sasori's invitation.

Sasori had found him a few days ago, inviting him to join the sixth squad with him, the reason being that he wanted to beat Shimizu in the next competition, and it would be more convenient if they were both in the sixth squad.

Even Elder Chiyo's grandson had joined the sixth squad. Needless to say, the sixth squad was definitely the safest squad in the puppet unit, as Ishido had said before.

"As expected, by joining the puppet unit, my status in Sunagakure has been elevated, and my importance in the entire world has also increased."

On the corridor, Shimizu remained calm, shifting some of his attention to the panel.

The progress bar soared rapidly at this moment, from the previous 17.9% all the way to 34.8% before slowing down, but it was still slowly creeping forward.

"We're here."

Sasori's indifferent voice brought Shimizu's attention back from the panel.

They had already arrived at the sixth squad's base within the puppet unit headquarters.

From the outside, it looked like a small factory, built entirely of hard rock.

Sunagakure was very poor, and the trees in the desert were also very precious. General buildings would not use wood as the main material, but mostly rock and rammed earth.

"Ah ha, we finally waited for the newcomers. Now I'm a senior too!"

As soon as the door was pushed open, a cheerful female voice came.

Shimizu looked over and found two men and one woman standing not far away.

The girl who spoke had war paint similar to Nohara Rin's on her face, but it was white. The top of her head was also surrounded by a circle of white cloth, binding her hair, looking like she was fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Cough cough, Miyuki, I heard that the newcomers this time have a strong background, so you shouldn't think about acting like a senior."

Beside the girl named Miyuki was a young man with a similar appearance, about two years older than Miyuki. There was some similarity between their eyebrows.

And the remaining one was Jonin Ishido, whom he had met before.

"We finally waited for you two. Let me briefly introduce myself. This is the third team of the sixth squad. I am your captain and the vice-captain of the sixth squad, Jonin Ishido."

Ishido crossed his arms and formally introduced himself.

"My name is Miyuki, Chunin. I specialize in Earth Release and also know some simple medical ninjutsu."

"My name is Miyuki, Special Jonin, Miyuki's brother, and also Captain Ishido's deputy. I specialize in Wind Release and Earth Release."

The remaining two team members showed gentle smiles to Shimizu and Sasori, and followed up with introductions.

"Shimizu, Genin, specializes in… um, besides puppetry, I don't have anything else I'm good at."

Shimizu shook hands with several team members.

Besides puppetry, his other taijutsu and ninjutsu skills were only at the middle to upper level among Genin, not particularly outstanding.

"Sasori, Genin, same as him."

Sasori was still as cold as ever, and his introduction was also very brief.

His emotions were always extremely indifferent to people or things he had no interest in.

"This is what I kept for you before."

Ishido handed the sealed scroll tied behind him to Shimizu.

Inside was the puppet they had agreed upon before, the little boy.

"Also, Sasori, there is one more thing that your grandmother said to give to you after you enter the puppet unit."

Ishido took out a booklet from his ninja tool bag.

"This notebook on human puppet creation, Elder Chiyo said it must be handed to you personally."

Sasori was slightly stunned as he looked at the familiar handwriting on the cover.

"I understand."

… …

… …

For Shimizu, the best thing about joining the puppet unit was being able to obtain profound puppetry knowledge, such as the Black Secret Technique.

Secondly, members of the puppet unit could purchase some items from the puppet unit's warehouse at internal prices.

In this way, Shimizu could buy materials at a lower price and improve his puppets.

Not only Fatty, but also Tom.

A puppet weighing no more than fifteen kilograms was considered a benefit for the puppeteers who participated in that training selection.

However, Shimizu was not in a hurry to modify his puppet.

Because he planned to learn more knowledge before doing this.

The panel was just a tool that could perfectly allow him to bring the puppet to the upper limit of his own knowledge and materials in the shortest time.
