Chapter 1314: Otsutsuki Hamura's Request to Aramaki!
It was April.
Of course, this was April based on World time.
The light here was somewhat dim.
Sunlight could only filter through the dense foliage, casting scattered spots of light.
Within the forest, a light brown duplex wooden house stood on the green lawn.
It was surrounded by large fields of colorful flowers, filling the air with a refreshing, faint floral scent.
In front of the wooden house, two figures with sturdy physiques, standing three meters tall and possessing a powerful aura, were sparring using the movements of the 'Hyuga Gentle Fist'.
Whenever their figures crossed and their palms collided, a fierce slapping sound would echo, and pale blue energy and spreading qi energy ripples would burst forth from between them.
Suddenly, one of them curled the five fingers of his right hand and struck forward fiercely. The palm strike was so fast it was hard to see clearly.
Instantly, a fierce vacuum shockwave scraped the grass off the ground and shot forward.
On the other side, facing such an attack, the other person actually extended both arms forward and back.
Then, he spun rapidly on the spot, forming a ball of blue energy.
The next second, the incoming shockwave bounced back the moment it hit the surface of the energy sphere.
It continued to snap through seven or eight thick trees in a line in the distance before finally calming down.
[Clap! Clap! Clap!]
Just then, applause sounded, followed closely by gentle and refined praise.
"To be able to master Air Palm and Rotation so skillfully in just three months, this can no longer be described with the word genius. As expected of Admiral Aramaki!"
The two figures in the court stopped their movements and looked towards the newcomer in unison.
Their appearances were identical, with dark green curly hair and thick lips.
It was Aramaki, who had remained in the Shinobi Sect.
However, the sunglasses he always wore on his face were gone.
He also no longer exposed his upper body, displaying the words 'death river heart', but wore a loose white robe identical to Otsutsuki Hamura's.
This made Aramaki's temperament appear colder and more reserved compared to before.
Crucially, his eyes had actually turned into Byakugan!
This indicated that the 'White Karma' data within Aramaki's body had been partially unsealed, allowing him to begin possessing Otsutsuki Isshiki's chakra and ability.
However, it should still take another three to four months before his appearance completely changes and he becomes a member of the Otsutsuki clan.
"Indeed, I've pretty much learned this Gentle Fist, but I still don't like it much. Next, I plan to go learn the Eight Gates Formation."
Aramaki ignored the wood clone opposite him and said, looking at Otsutsuki Hamura who was walking over.
At the same time, he let his pale eyes return to their original green pupils.
Although he had already memorized the various chakra points of the human body, it was still more convenient to use the Byakugan when using Gentle Fist.
However, just as Aramaki said.
He didn't particularly like this Gentle Fist. The only techniques he found appealing were Rotation and the Air Palm series.
Especially Air Palm, which was very similar to Armament Haki Emission.
As for the various Bagua Palms, although they were secret techniques of the Hyuga clan.
He truly wasn't interested in constantly poking people with his fingers.
At most, he could accept casually tapping a certain chakra point on the opponent during melee combat to affect the energy flow within their body.
Just consider it a minor dirty trick.
Meanwhile, after this period of careful consideration.
Aramaki had decided to completely give up on swordsmanship. He understood the principle of not biting off more than you can chew.
Furthermore, the swordsman realm was sufficient. It was no problem for dealing with those minor swordsmen.
With his current strength, speed, reaction, and sensory ability, even a typical Great Swordsman would not be his opponent as a swordsman.
"Admiral Aramaki, if you specialize in Air Palm, it will eventually evolve into the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, which combines offense and defense perfectly. Its power will not be inferior to the Eight Gates Formation."
Otsutsuki Hamura advised him helplessly.
His words would be meaningless to other members of the Hyuga clan.
Because it was impossible for them to learn the 'Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack', which was a 'Bloodline Net'.
But Aramaki was entirely capable.
The Otsutsuki bloodline inherently possessed seven chakra natures.
Something like the Bloodline Net was almost innate, or rather, one could possess it once their chakra reached a certain level.
"Is that so? That's good then."
Aramaki nodded, then added, "Then why shouldn't I have both? The Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack in the Eight Gates Formation state sounds quite good."
Since he was destined to possess chakra, he could only follow the improvement direction of 'Nintaijutsu', supplemented by Armament Haki.
Then, the Eight Gates Formation and the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack were clearly the best choices.
"This..."
Otsutsuki Hamura frowned slightly: "I heard Tobirama say that the Eight Gates Formation puts too much burden on the body, and excessive use can even cause irreversible injuries."
"I have Life Return to ensure my blood aura doesn't dissipate, and the Woods-Woods Fruit's photosynthesis ability can restore injuries and physical ability. At worst, I can absorb life force. There shouldn't be any problem. I'll ask at the Taijutsu School when the time comes."
Aramaki still didn't take it seriously.
The price that seemed unbearable to people of the Ninja World was almost insignificant to him.
"Also, Mr. Hamura, I'm not an Admiral yet. Although it sounds great, please don't call me that."
"I don't want Lord Imu to think I'm too arrogant, especially since I truly lost face before."
Having over a dozen Chakra Rods stuck in his body, lying on the ground covered in blood, and almost being sealed and taken away.
Whenever he thought of that scene, Aramaki's mood became very gloomy.
He only hoped that Lord Imu wouldn't mention this matter to others.
Probably not, right? After all, he's the big boss of the World Government. He probably isn't that bored.
As for Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Little Kaguya, who were also present at the time.
Ah, he could only think about how to keep them quiet. Maybe he'd have a good talk with them when he had the chance.
However, judging by Otsutsuki Hamura's seemingly unaware reaction, Otsutsuki Hagoromo was quite tight-lipped.
"Alright, Vice Admiral Aramaki."
Otsutsuki Hamura readily agreed. It didn't matter to him.
"I came here this time because I wanted to ask for your help."
"Tell me about it?" Aramaki asked curiously.
These days, the other party often came to this Forest of Death to personally teach him.
So, as long as it wasn't too excessive a matter, he was willing to help.
Otsutsuki Hamura immediately stated his intention.
"In order to achieve good results in the upcoming Top 100 Competition, we have found a few civilian masters with exceptional talent."
"We hope you can help them adapt to the combat style of World powerhouses and, by the way, try your best to teach them how to use Armament Haki."
"Among them, there is also a samurai from the Land of Iron. Could you see if you can teach him World swordsmanship?"
After listening, Aramaki raised an eyebrow. He actually wasn't very willing.
Because in September, he had to return to the World, get his promotion to Army General, take over his Fourth Main Battle Legion, and garrison at Jupiter.
And the Otherworld Audition for the Top 100 Competition was in June.
This meant he would have to spend two months training these people.
But he was just about to go to the Taijutsu School to learn the Eight Gates Formation and Konoha Style Taijutsu.
However, given the favor here, Aramaki could only agree to Hamura.
"Okay, have them come here. How many people are there?"
"Then thank you very much." Otsutsuki Hamura smiled. "There are only three people."
Aramaki was full of doubt: "Only three people from the Ninja World are participating?"
"Of course not, it's just that these three people seem to have the possibility of entering the Top 100, or even the Top 10, which is why we are prioritizing their training."
Otsutsuki Hamura shook his head:
"For the other civilian ninja who have decided to compete, we only provide facilities for physical training and residence for food and lodging."
"We also give them two ninjutsu with suitable chakra natures and arrange Shinobi Sect ninja who are good at teaching to guide them in mastering the ninjutsu."
"I see, that sounds quite good."
Aramaki felt that the Shinobi Sect providing this level of support was already sufficient.
At the same time, he was surprised by how much importance they placed on the Top 100 Competition.
Was it just to show off in front of people from other worlds?
