It wasn't until Kushina stood in front of them that the storm stopped rushing toward them.
This allowed Team Naruto to finally open their eyes and look ahead.
Kushina shielded their front, as if an invisible wall had appeared, blocking all the storm's force.
Outside their spot, the surrounding ground, sand, green grass, and dirt were whipped into the air.
It completely obscured their vision!
All they could hear was a deafening roar.
The roar lasted for dozens of seconds before gradually subsiding.
After waiting another few dozen seconds, the storm finally cleared the dust, revealing a massive crater over two hundred meters in diameter and dozens of meters deep at the target site!
Seeing this enormous crater, Team Naruto collectively gulped, mouths agape, momentarily speechless.
"What's wrong with you all? No one should've been hurt just now."
Imperial Minato slowly approached, looking at the stunned and slightly confused Team Naruto.
"Stupid Minato! Can't you see? These guys are shocked by your Sky Light Rasenshuriken!"
Kushina came up behind Minato, suddenly slapping his back hard, making him wince in pain.
"This… its power is a bit too much, Minato-senpai. Even S-rank ninjutsu couldn't possibly reach this level."
Yamato gave a bitter smile.
The power produced by combining True Qi and chakra was beyond expectation!
"Power like this… even a Bijuu using a Tailed Beast Ball wouldn't surpass it, right?" Sakura took a deep breath.
She recalled the terrifying Bijuu she saw during her first Chunin Exam.
Even a monster like that, with the techniques it used, didn't seem as impressive as Uncle Minato standing before them!
How could a human unleash such a terrifying technique?
"So unfair, Minato! Using an SS-rank ninjutsu to steal everyone's attention while telling us not to use anything too powerful."
At some point, Imperial Guy had appeared beside Team Naruto, looking at Minato with a face full of complaints.
"The Sky Light Rasenshuriken is insanely strong! A technique of this level, I absolutely couldn't withstand! Truly amazing!"
Lee marveled, rubbing his muscles.
"Hahaha… sorry… I didn't mean for it to be like this." Imperial Minato scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.
"So cool! Too cool! Uncle Minato! I want to learn! I want to learn this! I absolutely have to learn this! Teach me!"
Naruto finally snapped out of it, jumping excitedly and rushing to Minato's side, grabbing his hand and shouting.
"Little Naruto has a good eye. If you want to learn the Wind Elemental Breathing Style, I can have Minato teach you this technique!"
Kushina looked at Otherworldly Naruto with a smile.
"I want to learn! I absolutely want to learn this! Please! Big Sis Kushina! Uncle Minato!"
Naruto clasped his hands together, pleading with both of them.
In his heart, he planned that if he mastered this technique, wouldn't he scare that arrogant Sasuke half to death?
Let's see if he'd still dare to stand there with his smug, cool-guy attitude!
"Naruto, don't rush. There's still the final Mental Martial Arts we haven't seen." Sakura reminded.
"You've already seen Mental Martial Arts."
At that moment, Imperial Kushina said with a smile.
"Huh? We've seen it?" Sakura was a bit confused, as were the others.
Their faces were full of puzzlement.
"Just when I blocked the Sky Light Rasenshuriken for you all, that was the power of the force field from Mental Martial Arts!" Kushina explained.
"So that was Mental Martial Arts?" Sakura murmured.
"But… why don't I still get it?" Naruto scratched his head.
"When trained to a high level, Mental Martial Arts can influence reality, modifying the force field around the body. Just now, I created a windless force field around us, an area sufficient to block the storm."
"Beyond that, I can also create gravitational force fields, impact force fields, electrostatic force fields, and more. As long as you enter them, you'll be affected by gravity, impact, electrostatics, and so on."
Kushina explained.
Team Naruto began to vaguely understand.
After grasping it, the four started thinking about this power called Mental Martial Arts.
How to put it—it seemed just as powerful, but more suited for genjutsu ninja.
For them, the other three styles were more fitting.
"I still want to learn the Wind Elemental Breathing Style!" Naruto said firmly.
But Sakura and Sai nearby looked troubled.
Sakura wasn't particularly skilled at training in standard elemental ninjutsu; her strength lay in physical power, so the Breathing Style wasn't suitable for her.
She was well aware of this—if she studied an elemental Breathing Style, her improvement might be limited.
Sai's super beast imitation drawings also weren't compatible with an elemental Breathing Style.
Imperial Minato observed their expressions and was immediately moved:
"The Wind Elemental Breathing Style is indeed suitable for Naruto, but Sakura and Sai aren't suited for it. For them, Rokushiki would be more appropriate."
"Almost forgot! Sorry, Sakura, Sai! Let's just learn Rokushiki then!"
Naruto froze, then realized, hurriedly apologizing to his teammates.
"It's okay, Naruto. For us, anything works. The Breathing Style is indeed a martial art very suitable for us ninja. As long as we learn it, we should be able to teach it to everyone in Konoha." Sakura quickly said.
"This…"
Naruto's face showed hesitation.
"It seems you're all struggling. How about this: you all learn Rokushiki. I see Naruto's very skilled with Shadow Clones, so maybe he can split off a few clones to follow me and learn the Wind Breathing Style and the Sky Light Rasenshuriken."
Imperial Minato said gently.
"Uncle Minato is the best person in the whole world!"
Hearing this, Naruto jumped excitedly in place.
"Huh? Only now you're praising Minato? Forgetting about me?" Kushina pretended to be displeased.
"Big Sis Kushina is also the best person in the world!" Naruto said again.
"Heh! Not bad!" Kushina giggled.
"Minato-senpai, Kushina-senpai, thank you both so much." Yamato said happily.
"No wonder Uncle Minato is so popular in this world." Sakura looked at Imperial Minato with sparkling eyes until Kushina cleared her throat, prompting her to look away.
At that moment, her face was slightly flushed.
'Uncle Minato is such a great guy. If only Sasuke were like him.'
Sakura thought to herself unconsciously.
"Then it's decided!" Minato said cheerfully.
"Aoooh! Awesome! So everyone's going to learn Rokushiki! Truly, training the body is what everyone loves most!"
Lee clenched his fist excitedly and shouted.
He was thrilled that the martial arts he demonstrated earned everyone's praise.
"Youth! You young folks from the other world! Train your bodies earnestly, and you'll gain incredible strength!"
Guy gave Team Naruto a thumbs-up.
