Hidden Emperor Of The Naruto World

Today was a Taijutsu training day at the academy, so Minato came by himself and not one of his clones. Speaking of clones, the number that he can produce increased a lot since the first time. He can now create how many he wants to, but not without a price.

With all the training he has done, because of his small body and small chakra reserve, and with the fact he doesn't focus only on raising his chakra level, he only has around mid-chunin level of chakra even after 5 months of intensive training. The more clones he creates, the less chakra he and they have. But the training he does not require him to burn through the chakra with a single jutsu, so he usually creates 10 of them, with each having around mid-genin level of chakra, any less and the training will become ineffective.

He trains by himself all things that have to do with the body, including the reflexes and muscle memories, while his clones take care of the training for his chakra control, genjutsu, fuuinjutsu, shunshin, henge, kawarimi, Hyper intuition ... And even if he has discovered that he possess the 5 elementals affinity, he still decides to shelve them for later, because it would take too much time to train them now, with no real use to them with chunin-level of chakra.

And today, instead of hanging out with the band, he decides to look for Maito Duy, having already completely mastered the Swift style body and mind, thanks to all the experience of Minato and the battle experience room in his mind, that work in conjunction with his body.

To outsiders, it looks like he battles an invisible enemy, while for him, Minato past adversaries that he choose attack him. He just visualizes all Minato's past battles, and recreate them in the real world. Unfortunately, such methods don't train the instinct of the body, after all, his body knows that he is not between life and death, and doesn't react like it would if he was in danger.

After Minato left, Kushina, Mikoto and Tsume went to Ichiraku Ramen, the three have received a good amount of money anonymously for their birthdays, which all of them know from where it came but didn't say anything. And so, even without Minato, they still have enough to pay for the ramen absorber Kushina. After finishing eating, they began one of their private girl's chat, but this time it was different.

"Minato is already so strong, but he still wants to master another Taijutsu style, compared to him my training seems pretty pathetic." said Tsume, ashamed of herself for the first time.

"You're right, call it a gut feeling but it each time I spar with him, I have the impression that the gulf between us becomes bigger and bigger 'ttebane. All the training I do seem worthless, the stronger I grow the bigger the gap between us widened" Sulked Kushina, even ramen was not enough to lift her mood today.

After hesitating for a bit, Mikoto spoke "Even with my father, the Uchiha clan head training me, I have the impression that his training is less effective than Minato's, even though he is an academy student like us."

A light bulb went up on Kushina's head "It's the solution! We must become Minato students!"

"But will he even agree? He must have some secret training method, and I doubt he will willingly spread it. After all, all our clans become stronger only thanks to some secret techniques" exclaimed Tsume, excited at the prospect of growing stronger but at the same time not expecting Minato to divulge his secrets to them even if they are friends.

"Tsume is right Kushina, it would be improper to ask him to teach us. And even if he was willing, if the higher-ups of the village discover it, they will force Minato to hand it over, or will take it from us" interjected Mikoto. Even if she wants to grow strong, she is not willing to put Minato in harm's way for it.

A troubled look appeared on Kushina's face. She doesn't want to bring any harm to Minato, after all the things he has done for her, and her secret not so secret crush. Tsume was the same, just unaware of it, and Mikoto haven't developed a crush on him but cherish him as a close friend.

"Well, Minato is the genius between us, so maybe he will have a solution" Raised Kushina while blushing. Even she was not so thick-skinned to ask for help and ask the helper to find a solution for said help.

"Hm, you're right, it's the only way to catch up to him anyway. If we don't even have the guts to try it, we won't even have the chance to stand next to him in the future, and I won't be left behind!" Declared Tsume passionately. Kushina and Mikoto agreed, instead of seeing the back of Minato's brillance, standing next to him and helping him is far better even if they have to suffer for it.

Meanwhile, unaware of this discussion, Minato was touring the training grounds, searching for a youthful green spandex eyebrows super taijutsu expert man. And finally, on one of the usually unoccupied training ground, he found the man.

Dai is a tall and well-built man with high cheek-bones, a somewhat bulbous nose, dark hair, thick eyebrows and noticeable body hair on his wrists and forearms. His hair is cut in a bowl style that is combed to his right and lifts slightly. He also sports a bristling moustache with a small goatee and stubble which made up the rest of his beard. He wears a green jumpsuit, orange striped leg warmers, and a yellow scarf around his neck.

"Yooooooosh! If I can't punch this log 10 000 times, I will be the one who changes Gai(Guy) diapers for the whole next month!"

Hearing that, Minato stumbled and nearly fell comically, alerting Dai (Duy) of his presence.

"Oh, what youthfulness! Coming to the training grounds at such age, let me dedicate my tears of youth to you!"

During the time that he balanced himself, Maito Dai arrived in front of him and was preaching the youthfulness.

'Is there no one else that knows how to open the eight gates? Please, if somebody can do it, contact me immediately by messenger bird!'

"Erh, hello, I'm Namikaze Minato"

"Yooosh, I'm the majestic and youthful genin of Konoha, Maito Dai!"

"Oh, the eternal genin?"

Hearing that, Dai sulked, but with renewed vigor screams "Yosh, I will do 10 000 punches and kicks more each day to become stronger!"

"Erh, no need Mister Dai"

"Nonsense! If I can't do that I will effectuate 10 000 squats and push up!"

Minato was having a headache, nobody has contacted him by messenger bird, so it means that this youthful--er, this guy was the only one able to teach him it and the Goken... 'I hope I will not become more youthful that I'm already is, what the fuċk I'm even saying...'
