Chapter 3: Being love-struck is too scary, becoming Hokage is more suitable for me.
It's worth mentioning that Hitomi's friends went all out, constantly refuting Shinichi Kudo's reasoning, and even attacking two innocent members of the organization with their map-like arguments.
Akutagawa Hiko was somewhat worried that this girl, who always sided with her relatives and disregarded reason, might one day be shot in the head while passing by a Porsche.
This adds another unsolved shooting case to the police department's list.
Fortunately, Shinichi Kudo was quite helpful. After the abnormalities of the pearl necklace and the tear stains were brought up one after another, Ms. Hitomi, whose mental state was already poor, also began to go through the procedures.
He knelt down, wept bitterly, and explained his motives.
This time, there was no confession segment.
I heard that even if the frame-up is successful, this Ms. Renmei will still attempt suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills.
This case made Akutagawa Hiko shake his head. Even though he had seen many bizarre murder reasons in the world of Detective Conan, he still couldn't help but marvel at the terrifying power of being driven by love.
It's perfectly normal for someone to fall for another person in a relationship. They weren't keeping you as a backup plan. They talked it out, broke up, and started a new relationship. They didn't do anything wrong.
The result was this tragic outcome.
When I was little, I saw this Miss Renmei crying her eyes out and I felt sorry for her.
Now, Akutagawa Hiko felt only a chill run down his spine.
Soon, the police found a pearl necklace strung together with a piano string inside the roller coaster tunnel.
On the few remaining pearls, besides the tears of Miss Hitomi, there was even more blood of the dead.
After watching the excitement, Akutagawa Hiko looked at the ticket in his hand. "Since I'm already here..."
Playing alone is no fun, so Akutagawa Hiko took out his phone.
In this day and age, mobile phones are still a rarity.
However, in less than six months, various smartphones will be launched one after another, and the 5G era will arrive soon.
That would have been much more convenient.
After making a round of calls, I realized that even though it was Saturday, I seemed to be the only one with nothing to do.
Akutagawa stared at the ticket in his hand, as if he wanted to bore a hole through it.
I was in a bit of a rush when I came in, and I bought the most expensive ticket that allowed entry to the entire venue. It would be such a waste to leave without doing anything.
Akutagawa looked left and right, and then had a good idea.
If you're not going to play, you can just give the ticket away; tickets aren't registered under real names anymore.
Moreover, Akutagawa Hiko saw a very suitable candidate.
Three children were brought out of the roller coaster tunnel by the police.
These three children are particularly striking in appearance. Apart from the little girl who can be described as cute, one has a head shaped like a triangular rice ball and looks as heavy as three children her age, while the other is as thin as a stick.
They are members of the Future Junior Detective Club.
Akutagawa Hiko quickly stepped forward and called out to the group who were about to leave.
"Kids, something came up with for me today, so I'll give you these passes."
The group was already quite bold, and with the police still on the move, they became even less vigilant.
Genta Kojima snatched the pass with a look of delighted surprise: "Wow—, it's a pass for unlimited access to everything!"
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya was a step too slow and missed out. He then lectured like a little adult, "You should be polite to a kind older brother, Genta."
Compared to the other two, the remaining little girl, though also quite mischievous, was the first to bow and express her gratitude.
Akutagawa Hiko waved his hand: "I have urgent business to attend to. You guys have fun."
After saying that, he turned and left without looking back, as if he had made up his mind, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Three mischievous kids, who would soon become somewhat famous, happily held their passes and enthusiastically discussed which rides to go on first.
As for the roller coaster, it was the first to be unanimously rejected.
………………
After returning home, Akutagawa Hiko finished settling the tasks for the entrance examination.
The task rewards were then distributed.
Two scrolls, and a ninja tool bag about the size of a family first-aid kit.
Akutagawa Hiko opened the ninja tool bag and was pleasantly surprised to find that the reward was much richer than he had imagined.
I thought they only had ninja tools like shuriken, kunai, and wire, but I was surprised to find smoke bombs, poison smoke bombs, soldier pills, poison senbon, and even explosive tags.
Akutagawa Hiko took out a three-pronged kunai, tested its sharpness, and found that it could easily cut a hair in half; if used properly, it could be a deadly weapon.
Then, Akutagawa Hiko opened the two reels with great anticipation.
The Three Body Techniques is a collective term for the Clone Technique, Substitution Technique, and Transformation Technique. All of them belong to the E-rank basic ninjutsu, which are more useful for training than for actual combat.
Of course, if you are far stronger than your opponent, you can also use the Substitution Technique and the Clone Technique to show off and play tricks on them.
In comparison, the transformation technique is much better. It may not be able to handle details like fingerprints, but compared to Conan's amazing skill of disguise, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Akutagawa Hiko didn't focus too much on this. Chakra is the foundation of everything. Even taijutsu requires chakra to operate.
Unless you use the Thousand Years of Death technique, you can make the other person experience pain like dying for a thousand years even without using chakra.
Akutagawa Hiko currently has no chakra, so he can't practice ninjutsu.
The other scroll naturally records the Chakra Extraction Technique.
After looking at the scroll, Akutagawa Hiko realized that his previous understanding of chakra was somewhat flawed.
In Akutagawa Hiko's memory, chakra refers to a special energy that is a mixture of physical and mental energy produced by 130 trillion cells in the body.
However, in this scroll of chakra extraction technique, this energy is clearly named "physical strength" and is the foundation for taijutsu.
Chakra is actually derived from physical strength, and it is transformed into techniques through "seals".
Unless special techniques are used, the human body cannot store chakra; it is used and used as needed in battle. The amount of chakra mentioned before is more appropriately described as a stamina bar.
A ninja's output limit largely depends on the conversion rate of stamina and chakra.
However, Akutagawa still habitually referred to "physical strength" as chakra.
It's just a title; it doesn't affect Akutagawa Hiko's training.
This chakra extraction technique is very simple and easy to understand. There is no nonsense or cryptic language, and even the slightly more difficult parts have handwritten annotations.
Looking at the signs of wear and tear, it's clear that this reel is secondhand; I wonder where the system stole it from.
Akutagawa Hiko sat cross-legged on the bed, focusing his mind in a posture with his palms facing upwards, trying to extract physical and mental energy from his cells.
He didn't know if his body had been modified, but Akutagawa Hiko didn't find it difficult and quickly found the trick: two different and peculiar energies rose up from his body in wisps.
However, the fusion attempt failed.
Akutagawa Hiko was not discouraged, always keeping in mind the key to the fusion of the two energies: balance...
