The Sovereign Of Brunhild

On the training grounds, a towering figure of a man in charge of sparring with me using katanas only took some time to discard his toothpick away from our direction.

The unmasked samurai himself wore a black kimono similar to those samurai characters I've seen in Japanese movies.

His weapon was a katana.

The masked wolf beastkin-elf samurai spoke monotonously as he put back his mask, "Mochizuki Touya-sama while the swordsmanship skills you showed earlier are impressive, the only thing you lacked is battlefield experience. I know His Majesty Prince Naruto-sama told me you were self-taught and took part in those contests in your hometown but the world here got battles that involved risking life especially taking subjugation quests and others. Your reactions are okay but your blade needs a controlled deceiving edge."

"Thanks for your advice, Setsuna-san." I replied to the Imperial Blade dispatched by Naruto as I sheathed back my blade. "By the way, are there some establishments in Elementalia that can be good..for giving out gifts?"

"In Uzu, Touya-sama?" the Imperial Blade member asked.

"Yes."

"Let's see..there's plenty of shops in the kingdom." Setsuna had a thoughtful look."If it's to introduce Elementalia to your friends you made from your adventure someday, it all depends on the type of person who they are. Confections, equipment, clothing...the world itself has a lot to offer, Touya-sama. Anyways as for your abilities and my evaluation, you only have to pick who your friends are and who isn't because there are types of individuals out there who would misuse your prowess.."

'Yep, I have to remember that especially what happened to my older cousin.' I thought about my older cousin marrying a wrong woman in my former world before thanking the Imperial Blade member's thoughts and evaluation. "Thanks for your insight and guidance, Setsuna-san."

"You are welcome, sire." monotonously replied Setsuna with a hidden smile behind his mask.

"Say, is there something off about Kisame-san?"

"No, not really. Kisame-san and others are just being themselves once you get used to it."

'How can you say that like it's a normal thing?' I thought with a sweatdrop.

For a typical anime fan, they say if you want to look for an onsen in another world, you have to look for a Japan-like equivalent country that has it or go look for a hot spring and secure it.

In this world, there's Ishen, this world's Japan-like country, and Elementalia, a westernized Japan.

The current Ishen was as far as I was told by the Namikaze-Senju cousins, does have a onsen establishment because it mirrored our former world's history.

The current lords currently showed a reflection of the Sengoku Period there in Ishen. If history would go parallel there in this world, maybe Minato-jii or Elementalia would do something about it because knowing him and his clan back on Earth, he would not let innocent lives be lost from the incompetence of a leader and hunger of the hypermilitarist-ultranationalist leaders to the likes of Tojo Hideki and former North Korea's last dictator.

"Aaah~ A good ol' hotspring after doing work is the best! It's been so long besides taking shower in the palace!"

A silver haired blue-eyed man who said that, bore a semblance of Minato-ojisan and Koujiro-ojiisan except that his hair was a mid-shoulder length. His current expression was satisfaction of reminiscing good memories of the past.

The man's name was Senju-Namikaze Shin-oji, Minato-ojisan's younger brother who recently got resurrected by World God alongside Aoi-obasan, Tobirama's birth mother.

As far as I was told, they were here before me.

"Etto Shin-ojiisan, is it true that you are better than Minato-ojisan in kenjutsu?" I asked him, interested in his story and feats told by Koujiro-jiji.

The man smiled, "Well, you can say that Touya-kun. But Minato-aniki can still give me a fight...I am sure it's Pops being Pops when he told you back then before 'this'."

"I guess so.." I said as I asked a question. "By the way Shin-ojiisan, do you think I am ready to become an adventurer?"

"It's no doubt you are ready Touya-kun. I saw everything you did with Pops 'there' after an oopsie caused by a certain 'someone'. " replied Shin-ojisan with an easygoing smile. "But yeah..picking the right companions with your prowess is one thing you have to remember because once looked at from a political perspective, we're considered as an unstoppable threat of power and that we need to put 'down'..those guys, you have to use it with responsibility in mind. "

"That's what I am thinking about when Stan Lee-san created Spider Man."

"..at least Stan Lee himself got a good message for his fictional work," said Shin-oji with the same smile. "I believe we should go to the Adventurer's Guild now for your registration, Touya-kun."

"Right.."
