Chapter 30: Two Months Later, Crossing Over is Possible!

As Naruto Uzumaki woke up in his bed, he felt something was different about himself.

He could distinctly feel the chakra in his lower abdomen; it felt warmer and more substantial. With a gentle circulation, it easily spread throughout his body.

His body also felt stronger and more robust than before.

Looking down, he could see a six-pack forming on his abdomen!

This discovery thrilled him.

Upon arriving at the Imperial Capital Academy, Naruto excitedly shared the news with Iruka.

"Congratulations, Naruto.

Your chakra has truly awakened, and you've reached the minimum requirement to start practicing the Six Styles! This is much faster than I expected. It seems that no matter the world, you are a genius, Naruto."

Listening to Naruto's story, Iruka couldn't help but marvel.

"Alright! Now I can finally start training in the martial arts! Take that, you brats! Sasuke, you're going down too!" Naruto exclaimed, jumping for joy.

Standing beside him, Sakura, Sai, and Yamato couldn't help but smile at his enthusiasm.

However, Yamato soon asked, "Teacher Iruka, you said that Naruto is a genius in any world. For an ordinary person, how long would it take to get a basic grasp of chakra control?"

"Yeah, how long would it take for us?" Sakura added.

"Well, Sakura, you're a genius too! It won't take you long at all. Yamato and Sai, I believe you'll get there quickly as well!" Naruto replied with a grin.

"Sakura, Sai, Yamato, come closer. I'll use my chakra to check your progress," Iruka instructed, and the three stepped forward.

He placed his hands on their shoulders one by one and channeled his chakra to assess their potential.

After a while, he spoke, "All of you have quite impressive aptitudes; you can't be considered ordinary. Sai, you have a moderate level of talent, and it will probably take you around a month. Sakura and Yamato, you two are exceptional, and I believe it will only take you about ten days to half a month."

"Phew... so we're not that bad after all," Yamato sighed in relief. After experiencing countless setbacks since arriving in this new world, he had started to doubt himself, but today's news was a welcome relief.

"Those who have the potential to become outstanding ninjas rarely disappoint," Iruka said. "Now, let's continue today's training. Everyone, follow me."

Iruka led the Konoha quartet to join the other students.

He instructed the trio who had not yet mastered chakra control to practice on their own and then turned to the rest of the class.

"We've covered the basics, so starting today, we'll be reviewing the Six Styles."

"Review the Six Styles? Why is this old man still here and not with the other three? He's a new student, so he can't possibly have learned the Six Styles yet," Hinata Hyuga remarked, her head tilted curiously, her eyes hidden behind her dark blue hair and sunglasses.

"Of course, he's already taken the first steps into the world of martial arts," Iruka replied with a smile.

"What? He's already started?!" Hinata exclaimed in shock, her eyes widening behind her shades.

Even the other students, including Rock Lee and Tenten, looked surprised.

Asuma Sarutobi, with an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips, dropped it in surprise. He crouched down to pick it up, muttering, "Not bad, old man."

"Hah! You brats are going to eat my dust! Just you wait; I'll show you who's boss!" Naruto grinned menacingly.

"Pfft! I'm the son of a hero; why would I be afraid of you? You're just an old fossil!" Asuma retorted with a forced laugh, his confidence wavering.

Hero? Asuma thought. What has this world's Sarutobi Asuma done to be considered a hero?

Naruto Uzumaki felt a surge of anger, but he didn't voice his thoughts. Instead, he grinned menacingly and said, "Then you better watch out, kid!"

Turning to Iruka, he continued, "Teacher Iruka, let's get started! I can't wait any longer to train in the Martial Arts Six Styles!"

"To learn the Martial Arts Six Styles, we usually start with iron blocks," Iruka explained. "We distribute qi evenly throughout our bodies and then have others continuously attack us with punches and kicks. This allows our bodies to gradually withstand the force, absorb the qi more effectively, undergo a qualitative change, and harden our bodies. Do you understand, Naruto?"

"So... I'm going to get beaten up next?" Naruto asked, his expression shifting.

"That's right!" Iruka nodded.

"Then... let's do it, Teacher Iruka!" Naruto took a deep breath, steeling himself.

"I won't hit you, Naruto," Iruka said. "You'll pair up with your classmates and practice with each other."

Naruto muttered, "With these brats?" His eyes darted around before landing on Sarutobi Asuma. "You, punk! I'm gonna teach you a lesson right now! Let's team up! You're not scared, are you?"

Sarutobi Asuma grinned sinisterly. "Hah? You're itching for a fight again, old man? If you want a beating, I'll oblige! Come on!"

About ten minutes later, Naruto lay on the ground, his body bruised and battered.

Sarutobi Asuma, on the other hand, had only a slightly swollen face. Looking at the defeated Naruto, he taunted, "Hey, old man, didn't you eat today? You've got no strength at all. I didn't even break a sweat. I really feel sorry for your future girlfriend."

"You little punk... you just wait..." Naruto howled in frustration.

For the rest of the day, Naruto received medical treatment to heal his injuries, and then he continued to train until he reached his limit before heading home to rest.

This routine continued for five consecutive days...

Finally, Naruto mastered the iron block technique, and he and Sarutobi Asuma took turns beating each other black and blue during their practice sessions.

After that, Naruto began to cultivate the Paper Charm, Finger Gun, Gale Step, Piercing, and Moon Walk.

It took him four days to master the Paper Charm, five days for the Finger Gun, five days for the Gale Step, four days for Piercing, and ten days for the Moon Walk.

In just a short month, Naruto demonstrated his extraordinary talent by mastering all six styles.

At this time, Sakura and Yamato had only mastered the iron block, while Sai hadn't mastered any of them.

And so, Naruto challenged Sarutobi Asuma again and emerged victorious.

This turn of events surprised everyone.

Sarutobi Asuma had to admit that Naruto Uzumaki was an underestimated genius.

After defeating Sarutobi Asuma, Naruto Uzumaki didn't leave the Imperial Capital Academy. Instead, he stayed to further refine his Martial Arts Six Styles and delve into the Wind Attribute Breathing Technique.

Before long, another month had passed...

On this day, Orochimaru and Centipede Anlu Shan, who had been sent by Senju Tianren to the Loulan Dragon Vein to research time and space travel for two months, finally returned to the Imperial Capital!

In the opulent Cloud Throne, high above the clouds, the two men bowed respectfully to the figure seated on the throne.

Orochimaru spoke up, "Your Majesty! After two months of research, combining Centipede's experiences and technologies with our understanding of the dragon vein, we can confirm that the arrival of our guests from another world was an extraordinarily rare occurrence.

However, because of this chance event, the nodes between our two worlds have been linked.

We now have precise control over the anchor point to their world.

Crossing over is entirely feasible!"
