Naruto Pararel 19

Title: Basic Martial Arts of the Shinobi Empire

“Doctor? What’s that?” Everyone asked.

“A profession distinct from ninja, highly popular and respected throughout the Empire. Usually, only one person appears among tens of thousands.”

Minato raised an index finger.

“Only one in tens of thousands? Amazing! Truly amazing!” Sakura exclaimed in awe.

“Doesn’t that mean Konoha won’t even have one?” Naruto cried out.

Their total Konoha population was, at most, only about one hundred thousand people!

Could a Doctor be an existence even greater than a Kage?

“May I ask... what is the current total population of the Shinobi Empire?” Yamato swallowed.

“The current population is approximately one hundred million people.”

Imperial Minato smiled.

“One hundred million!”

Team Naruto gasped in unison.

This population number was far, far greater than the ninja world they belonged to.

Due to prolonged wars, Yamato estimated that the total population of the entire ninja world was, at most, only a few million people.

A few million compared to one hundred million... this difference was too vast to imagine.

Furthermore, the Imperial elite forces far outnumbered those of the ninja world.

They shouldn’t keep thinking about it! The more they thought, the greater the despair and helplessness they would face!

Shaking his head, Yamato took a breath and said, “It is indeed great, but the most extraordinary thing is still that ordinary people throughout the Shinobi Empire can possess such high-level puppets.”

“So, just quietly enjoy the service of Butler Amagi. This is something that all citizens of the Empire can enjoy.”

Imperial Minato smiled.

Not long after, Imperial Minato and Imperial Kushina had settled Team Naruto in their respective places.

Each member of Team Naruto was served by an Amagi butler.

It truly made the four of them experience what it felt like to live like royalty.

Dinner was prepared by the Amagi butler, bathwater was drawn by the Amagi butler, if tired, they could enjoy a massage, and if they wanted to chat, they could also be accompanied for a short conversation.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

The next morning.

Opening his eyes, Naruto saw the Amagi butler holding his clothes, waiting by the bedside.

This service was truly too perfect!

After getting dressed, washing up, and having breakfast.

Naruto’s mood was incredibly comfortable; he couldn’t help but sigh again:

“Life in this world is truly comfortable; if I could live here, it wouldn’t be so bad... ah! Why am I thinking like this! I am Uzumaki Naruto from Konoha! Everyone in Konoha is still waiting for me!”

He slapped his face hard, making himself stay conscious.

*RING! RING!*

The doorbell rang.

Naruto opened the door and saw Imperial Minato and Imperial Kushina standing in front of the door, smiling.

“How are you doing here? Little Naruto?”

Kushina intimately approached the other-world Naruto and ruffled his hair.

“Very good... the artificial intelligence puppets are really great!”

The other-world Naruto didn’t resist at all, smiling.

“Hahaha, it’s good if you like it! Now, let’s gather everyone else together and prepare to report to the Imperial Capital High School. Martial arts training shouldn’t be missed. The world is vast, but self-power is the greatest!”

After Kushina finished speaking, she gathered everyone.

Sakura looked at her friends, as well as Kushina and Minato, chattering happily without stop:

“Those artificial intelligence mechanical puppets are truly amazing! They can really do everything. They can even choose suitable clothes for me online!”

“I feel like as long as I have it, I don’t need to think about anything myself! If only Konoha had these too...”

The speaker didn’t intend it, but the listeners took it to heart.

Yamato and Sai’s expressions turned serious.

The artificial intelligence mechanical puppets were too excellent, too advanced.

After experiencing them, they unconsciously felt that even a daimyo was no more than that.

If other Konoha residents enjoyed this kind of life, could they truly refuse?

Perhaps... it would be impossible.

Honestly, just one day of life yesterday had filled them with tranquility and longing for the future!

The Shinobi Empire was too terrifying! And too advanced!

They had only seen it before; now that they had experienced it, it felt completely different! And this was just the first day!

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

On the way to Imperial Capital High School.

Imperial Minato smiled at Team Naruto:

“His Majesty told me to take you to learn martial arts. But there are so many martial arts; apart from His Majesty, no one can master all of them. So, I suggest you just learn one of them, how about that?”

“Awooo! Finally, I can learn martial arts! After I finish learning, I’ll definitely defeat that arrogant Sasuke, and then use His Majesty’s classic quote to get back at him! Let’s see if he still dares to laugh at me!”

Naruto excitedly punched his left palm with his right fist, shouting.

“Can we learn the True Qi Spear Finger Jutsu, the True Qi Storm Leg Jutsu?”

Yamato immediately thought of the Rouran guards who had defeated him.

“Of course, you can. Those are all basic skills, called Rokushiki.” Imperial Minato smiled.

“Basic skills? Such powerful jutsu, are they really just basic skills?” Yamato was surprised.

“Good... very good...” Naruto was both surprised and joyful.

“Indeed, they are just basic skills. In Imperial Capital High School, regular students will master one or two Rokushiki techniques. Graduates must master the entire Rokushiki, and the outstanding students among them must master several advanced levels of Rokushiki.” Kushina also said.

“That sounds really great. But is there anything more powerful that can be learned?” Naruto asked hopefully.

“Of course! There’s also Elemental Breathing Technique. Hmm... simply put, it’s a kind of jutsu similar to Elemental Chakra Mode, only simpler and easier. It can be applied to any jutsu, and it can also strengthen corresponding elemental ninjutsu. After reaching a certain level, it’s stronger than Elemental Chakra Mode.”

Imperial Minato thought for a moment and said.

“What’s Elemental Chakra Mode?”

The other-world Naruto didn’t understand.

“It’s a very profound use of chakra. The Raikage of Kumogakure, from generation to generation, mastered the Lightning Chakra Mode, and this is the key to them becoming Raikage.”

Yamato explained with a serious expression.

“Captain Yamato means... as long as one masters Lightning Chakra Mode, they will have the strength of a Raikage?” Sakura said with a bit of disbelief.

“It can’t be said to be absolute, but anyone who can master Lightning Chakra Mode is definitely among the best of the best!”

“Good! Very good!” The other-world Naruto’s eyes lit up hearing this.

‘The Shinobi Empire’s True Qi martial arts are so strong! I really want to learn them all!’

“Anything else? What else can be learned?”

“There are also Muscle Martial Arts, Mental Martial Arts! These two types are martial arts that strengthen muscles and mental power, respectively.”

“Brother Naruto practices Muscle Martial Arts, right?”

The other-world Naruto immediately remembered the Imperial Naruto, whose muscles were very developed.

“That’s right, Naruto has a talent in Muscle Martial Arts that is second only to His Majesty, far superior to others.”

When Imperial Minato mentioned being second only to His Majesty, his face showed pride.

“I see, then practicing mental arts should be a ninja’s genjutsu, right?” Sakura said.
