"This is impossible..."
In the boudoir of a certain young lady, Naruto walked back and forth in the room while mumbling to himself in a small sound, not far from him, Jiang Wei sat on her bed in sidesaddle position, which both of her knees placed at her side. Her face turned left and right in rhythm with his movement, and question mark swarmed her head like flies.
"Even if she would awaken a power, it should be anything else but chakra...
Least she should have Qi instead, considering her birth background and region of living...
But why is it chakra?
this doesn't make any sense..."
Jiang Wei soon couldn't keep up with his looping motion, she shook her head and shouted, "Hey, stop moving like that Ok? My head is spinning..."
"No one told you to stay your eyes on me," Naruto rolled his eyes.
Jiang Wei puffed her cheeks, but then she seems to remember something, "Oh yeah, what is this chakra thing you mention earlier?"
"Chakra is an energy or force that reside within someone, in sense, it was a result of a perfect combination between physical energy and spiritual energy. From where I came from, all people born with chakra yet not all of them have the... 'privilege' to use it, meanwhile, the people who did, they separated into several groups. One of them called shinobi, eem... it's similar to what you people called ninja ."
Jiang Wei widened her eyes, "Ninja is real?"
"No, they are not," a scornful tone and disdained expression appeared on his face, " it just a result of someone's childish imagination, no more but a sully and degradation toward shinobi's name."
Naruto stretched his hand and soon a small pale blue-colored ball surged from his palm, it just as small as golf ball but Jiang Wei could feel a change in atmosphere around her the moment it appeared, "This is chakra in raw form, there many form or color it can take but this is how it looks like normally."
Jiang Wei couldn't help but got mesmerized by the translucent shaped-ball on Naruto's palm, "and you said I have a power like this inside of me?" She said without turning head.
"Yeah... When you skipped back there, I sensed a wisp of chakra instantly boosted your action. No way I could have mistaken it for something else."
Jiang Wei doubtfully glanced at him, "How could you be so sure?"
Naruto dispersed the chakra ball within his hand, he let out a smile, however, there's a trace of desolation in his eyes, "Because I was the only shinobi and a sole possessor of chakra in this world, how could I'm not that sensitive if there is another person like me nearby?"
Thousand of needles as if pricked Jiang Wei chest when she caught his forlornness, her face twitched and her hands clenched, No wonder he sometimes looked lonely, turn out of this reason.
But her eyes suddenly turned bright, with her having the same power as him, didn't it mean that he no longer alone? Moreover, there is no third person out there who had power like this after her...
Two people, man and woman, being unique with a same power, hand to hand, shoulder by shoulder, facing the world harshness together...
How romantic!
Jiang Wei's surface filled with excitement, and her eyes went blurry from images of a thrilling journey they would experience, she also had a ridiculous smile hung on her lips, displaying how far her fantasy had extended to.
People like romance, especially women, regardless of how serious or cold they temperament.
Naruto looked at Jiang Wei such absentminded like that, sighed in helpless. He strolled forward, sat on the bed along with her, and proceeded his fingers to flick her forehead.
"Auugh!" Jiang Wei brought her hands to her forehead and a bead of tears spilled from her eyes.
"That's what you got for conjuring up weird things," Naruto dismissed her hands and lightly rubbed her sore spot.
The young lady didn't rebel against his magic touched, instead, she plunged into his chest, honking her mouth adorably, "I am not thinking anything weird~"
"Uh-huh," Naruto embraced her soft body while burying his nose into her fragrant hair.
They stayed silent for a while before Jiang Wei broke it, "Hey, teach me how to use chakra."
"Why do you want to use chakra?" Naruto said without any changing expression.
"Because... I want to get stronger?" a crease appeared on her forehead as she didn't even sure with her own answer.
Naruto shook his head, "There is no need for a chakra if you just simply ask for a strength, by performing usual training routine or maybe little bit raised in its intensity and extra doses of skill, you'd easily surpassed any normal person you'll face in the future.
Take a look at this early evening's event as an example, because you had train your awareness and sense of danger, you successfully detected an attack from behind and knew which one bore the element of danger the most. Imagined if you didn't, even if you killed the person in front, you probably would still take a huge damage from behind, and who knew what he held as a weapon, a knife maybe? An axe?
Do you need chakra to have that kind of ability? No! Do you need chakra to act swiftly in that kind of situation? No! All you need was just to train your physic and skill, that's all."
Jiang Wei held her head close to his chest, hearing his strong heartbeat and smelling his unique man flavor as she took upon his lecture. In reality, she already knew that her reason for wanting to utilize chakra was not seeking for a strength she had never been thirst. Jiang Wei was a smart woman and she realized what Naruto tried to say in his lecture.
Jiang Wei tightening her arms around Naruto, enjoying his warm and sturdy torso that can stimulate a sense of security and serenity within her. The everlasting feeling that she always perceived whenever he was around.
"Because... I want to be the same as you," Jiang Wei closed her eyes and a slight upward curve appeared on the corner of her lips, "although you and I had been in this kind of relationship, I sense this presence of... gap that exists between us. I felt that, no matter how many or how hard I tried to overcame it, it persist to be there."
Jiang Wei turned her head and made it face to face with him, her dark onyx eyes harbored a strong firmness, "Only if I'm the same as you, only being like you, that maybe I could do it, that I could truly be at your side."
Naruto received her passionate gaze and confession with absentminded expression, in his mind, Jiang Wei's words overlap with another person, a figure with raven hair and pale purple eyes slowly appeared.
Only becoming like you, that I would be worthy of you.
Short awhile, the figure outline slowly went blurred, and Jiang Wei who still in the same posture from before entered his vision.
"Fool," Naruto chuckled.
Jiang Wei didn't respond toward his remark, she only gazed at him with impenetrable willpower, and Naruto couldn't help but felt move.
Both of them, Naruto thought with a sigh.
"Alright..."
Hearing his soft confirmation made her body slightly trembled. Then Naruto rose from her bed and walked several steps away from it. Her eyes watched and her mind recorded every step he had taken. His lean and wide back embedded deeply into her consciousness.
"I teach you..."
In her perception, there was something different about Naruto at this moment, he not just a carefree and unrestrained young man, he's not just a sweet and loving sweetheart, he was something more.
"How to become..."
Naruto stopped right in the middle of the room and turned around, his heated gaze and confidence smirked, causing Jiang Wei's heart to beat severely, she didn't know whether it was coming from an excitement or an adoration toward him. Because Naruto right now, he was bearing something she never see before, he had the bearing... of a master.
"A shinobi."

The night was getting late as the sky turned darker.
Zhong Hai was a metropolis kind of city, albeit it's not as large as central, but based on its economic business and advancement in many aspects, it's passed the discernment to be considered as a metropolis. It also could be seen from the culture that people lived there adopted; from how they living, clothes they wearing, and the idea they bearing. At this kind of city, the appearance of warehouses is not uncommon, although many of their industrial building placed far from the center and urban area, the warehouses itself still could be joined together among it.
Somewhere around the west side of Zhong Hai city, a big warehouse stood in separation with other building. This large building came in rectangle form with a tall and rough fence made of wire completely surrounded it. The building brightness environment was dim, the source of light was no more than your thumbs and forefinger. Weeds and dust was the citizen of this place.
*Vroom!*
In the place where the roar of a barking dog was even barely to be heard, a sound of the engine of several SUV suddenly entered the vicinity. They like a bunch of big metallic bulls who raced against each other, taunting whoever on their side toward the finish line.
These 'baddies' stopped before the wire fence with a large board hung, a red colored and capitalized words "PRIVATE PROPERTY, TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED" became the main vocal of this board.
Several people came down from these SUV, they all wore black attire to the toe and the only way to distinguish one group from another was by the style of their clothes.
"I hate this place, the rusty smell was so overwhelming!" One of them spoke with a dissatisfied tone.
"What do you expect? jasmine flower's fragrance?" Another one of them spoke with a clear mocking tone
"Screw you, what's the point of this anyway?!" the grumpy-man pushed his chest, "My people can finish this task easily."
Both of them walk toward the wire gate, followed by the rest of the people behind them.
"So, you think you can handle her by yourself?" the gate that was supposed to be locked tight turn out can be easily opened, they pushed it and entered with a steady pace.
The grumpy-man snorted, "Humph! what's so hard dealing with a young woman anyway!"
"You mean a young woman who managed to bring down someone else's enterprise?" the shrewd-man put a cigarette on his mouth, then brought out a lighter from his breast pocket and lit the cigarette.
The shrew-man expression became unsightly, "She got help!"
"No, she's not getting any help, she used people," he breathed out smoke, "someone who capable of using other people would not be easily taken down"
They arrived at the large double door, it gave out a loud sound when they pull it open.
"I heard we even use the service's of a famous sniper," the shrewd-man said while holding the door as people getting inside.
"What? Which one?" the grumpy-man wrinkled his brow as he held the other door.
"Poisonous spider," Terror crossed the shrewd-man eyes
"Tiger king's lackey?! What the hell is he even doing in China?!" the same expression appeared on the grumpy-man
It seems like whoever this poisonous spider and tiger king was, they were scary enough to bring a sense of dread to this two man.
"At any rate, we should hurry, the meeting was about to start" Both of them quickly entered and closed the double door behind them as soon as they did.
Meanwhile, at The Rose, Jiang Wei sat crossed leg on her bed, listened attentively to Naruto's word of instruction.
"Before we begin, you must promise me two things," he said with a strict expression.
Jiang Wei nodded without hesitation, her believe toward Naruto had already reached a level where there's no single spect of doubt toward him.
Naruto pointed out his forefinger, "First, be cautious. The moment you truly awaken your chakra, don't you ever dare to force using it when you felt your chakra's reservation was empty."
Chakra in our body consisted of two things, chakra's core and chakra's reservation. Chakra's core is the source that will be generated energy or power for you to use, while chakra's reservation is where those energies will be stored.
So, no matter how much you spend the chakra, as long you do not spend it directly from the core, is still fine."
Jiang Wei raised her hand, "Why I shouldn't use the energy directly from the chakra's core?"
"Because you will die," Naruto said without any soft indication.
Jiang Wei's heart turned cold and her mouth turned agape.
"More precisely, you will die if your chakra's core is broken."
Jiang Wei narrowed her eyes, "How exactly that can happen and how I should avoid that?"
"That can happen if you force out your chakra's core to generate harder, One thing you need to note is that chakra's core has its own pace. Moreover, if the chakra's core detects the chakra's reservation devoid of any energy, the core will continue to generate until it was full. So, how can core fill the reservation if you continue using the energy its let out?
Once core work harder, it will get burden and damage over the time, it's the same like the heart if it was forced to pump blood harder often, it can cause heart failure which can lead to death.
Don't think if your chakra's core no longer works that mean you will back to normal human, no, you will die instead."
Jiang Wei wore a thoughtful look, she put her finger on her mouth and glanced upward, "So, in order not to use chakra from the core, I must not let my reservation empty?"
Naruto nodded, "Smart! Though it's OK your reservation goes empty, just don't use any action that has anything to do with utilize of chakra at that time."
It took time for Jiang Wei to process everything before she finally nodded, "Got it, what's the second?"
"Don't be arrogant, another thing you need to note, there were a lot of people who also have power with a different kind in this world, and these people may stronger than you"
Jiang Wei widened her eyes, "you said there are other kinds of power?"
"Yes!"
"How many?"
"As far as I know..." Naruto stretched his fingers, "four other power!"
Jiang Wei slightly relaxed, "What, it just four... don't scare me like that..."
"Don't underestimate this power!" Naruto strongly reprimanded
"O-ok!" Jiang Wei resumed her serious posture, "so, what are this powers?"
Naruto continued his lesson, generally, there was four major power in this world without including chakra. These power are:
1. Qi, the people who capable of using it called cultivator, they region of control was China
2. Mana, the people who capable of using it called mage, they region of control was Europe
3. Reiryoku, the people who capable of using it called fullbringer, they region of control was Japan
4. Force, the people who capable of using it called specialist, they region of control was America
Qi was a name for the heavenly power that cultivators use for their own benefit. They will absorb it and store it inside what they called dantian. Cultivators cannot generate Qi, they could only absorb it. Heavenly power originally consists of many elements, thus resulted in cultivators can summon elements such as fire, lightning, water, and others. They could even use it to strengthen their bodies also fly in the air.
Mana was a term designation for the supernatural power possessed by Mages. Magicians were divided into two, wizards and fighters. Wizard were mages who use wands or staves to incite spell, while fighters use many physical weapons such as a sword, lance, or axe.
Reiryoku is a name for the spiritual sensitivity and willpower used by the fullbringer to unleash the potential within them, like chakra, reiryoku born within someone although it didn't have a core.
Force is a term for specialists as a substitute for the word stamina, not very clear what the reason they replace it but technically, the utility of force was just the same as stamina.
Jiang Wei felt her brain turned mushy as soon as Naruto finished told her about these power. She probably would never know such thing exist if she never met him and having chakra.
Wait.
He mention that these power possessors have an area they controlled or something, but where is shinobi's place among them?
"Hey, Naruto..." Jiang Wei wrinkled her brow, "where is the shinobi area of control?"
Naruto looked taken aback by this question, he scratched his cheek while averting his eyes from her gazes, "Well, let just say a shinobi was a... wanderer..."
Jiang Wei went face fault after heard his response, he basically confessed that shinobi didn't have home!
Naruto face blushed in shame, "Well anyway, do you promise me these two things?"
Jiang Wei regained her bearing, with unwavering dedication, she said in a firm tone:
"I promise!"
Naruto nodded in satisfaction, "Good! Then let us begin, your training!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"This is impossible..."
In the boudoir of a certain young lady, Naruto walked back and forth in the room while mumbling to himself in a small sound, not far from him, Jiang Wei sat on her bed in sidesaddle position, which both of her knees placed at her side. Her face turned left and right in rhythm with his movement, and question mark swarmed her head like flies.

"Chakra is an energy or force that reside within someone, in sense, it was a result of a perfect combination between physical energy and spiritual energy.

One of them called shinobi, eem... it's similar to what you people called ninja ."Jiang Wei widened her eyes, "Ninja is real?""No, they are not," a scornful tone and disdained expression appeared on his face, " it just a result of someone's childish imagination, no more but a sully and degradation toward shinobi's name."Naruto stretched his hand and soon a small pale blue-colored ball surged from his palm, it just as small as golf ball but Jiang Wei could feel a change in atmosphere around her the moment it appeared, "This is chakra in raw form, there many form or color it can take but this is how it looks like normally."Jiang Wei couldn't help but got mesmerized by the translucent shaped-ball on Naruto's palm, "and you said I have a power like this inside of me?" She said without turning head."Yeah... When you skipped back there, I sensed a wisp of chakra instantly boosted your action. No way I could have mistaken it for something else."Jiang Wei doubtfully glanced at him, "How could you be so sure?"Naruto dispersed the chakra ball within his hand, he let out a smile, however, there's a trace of desolation in his eyes, "Because I was the only shinobi and a sole possessor of chakra in this world, how could I'm not that sensitive if there is another person like me nearby?"Thousand of needles as if pricked Jiang Wei chest when she caught his forlornness, her face twitched and her hands clenched, No wonder he sometimes looked lonely, turn out of this reason.But her eyes suddenly turned bright, with her having the same power as him, didn't it mean that he no longer alone? Moreover, there is no third person out there who had power like this after her...Two people, man and woman, being unique with a same power, hand to hand, shoulder by shoulder, facing the world harshness together...How romantic!Jiang Wei's surface filled with excitement, and her eyes went blurry from images of a thrilling journey they would experience, she also had a ridiculous smile hung on her lips, displaying how far her fantasy had extended to.People like romance, especially women, regardless of how serious or cold they temperament.Naruto looked at Jiang Wei such absentminded like that, sighed in helpless. He strolled forward, sat on the bed along with her, and proceeded his fingers to flick her forehead."Auugh!" Jiang Wei brought her hands to her forehead and a bead of tears spilled from her eyes."That's what you got for conjuring up weird things," Naruto dismissed her hands and lightly rubbed her sore spot.The young lady didn't rebel against his magic touched, instead, she plunged into his chest, honking her mouth adorably, "I am not thinking anything weird~""Uh-huh," Naruto embraced her soft body while burying his nose into her fragrant hair.They stayed silent for a while before Jiang Wei broke it, "Hey, teach me how to use chakra.""Why do you want to use chakra?" Naruto said without any changing expression."Because... I want to get stronger?" a crease appeared on her forehead as she didn't even sure with her own answer.Naruto shook his head, "There is no need for a chakra if you just simply ask for a strength, by performing usual training routine or maybe little bit raised in its intensity and extra doses of skill, you'd easily surpassed any normal person you'll face in the future.Take a look at this early evening's event as an example, because you had train your awareness and sense of danger, you successfully detected an attack from behind and knew which one bore the element of danger the most. Imagined if you didn't, even if you killed the person in front, you probably would still take a huge damage from behind, and who knew what he held as a weapon, a knife maybe? An axe?Do you need chakra to have that kind of ability? No! Do you need chakra to act swiftly in that kind of situation? No! All you need was just to train your physic and skill, that's all."Jiang Wei held her head close to his chest, hearing his strong heartbeat and smelling his unique man flavor as she took upon his lecture. In reality, she already knew that her reason for wanting to utilize chakra was not seeking for a strength she had never been thirst. Jiang Wei was a smart woman and she realized what Naruto tried to say in his lecture.Jiang Wei tightening her arms around Naruto, enjoying his warm and sturdy torso that can stimulate a sense of security and serenity within her. The everlasting feeling that she always perceived whenever he was around."Because... I want to be the same as you," Jiang Wei closed her eyes and a slight upward curve appeared on the corner of her lips, "although you and I had been in this kind of relationship, I sense this presence of... gap that exists between us. I felt that, no matter how many or how hard I tried to overcame it, it persist to be there."Jiang Wei turned her head and made it face to face with him, her dark onyx eyes harbored a strong firmness, "Only if I'm the same as you, only being like you, that maybe I could do it, that I could truly be at your side."Naruto received her passionate gaze and confession with absentminded expression, in his mind, Jiang Wei's words overlap with another person, a figure with raven hair and pale purple eyes slowly appeared.Only becoming like you, that I would be worthy of you.Short awhile, the figure outline slowly went blurred, and Jiang Wei who still in the same posture from before entered his vision."Fool," Naruto chuckled.Jiang Wei didn't respond toward his remark, she only gazed at him with impenetrable willpower, and Naruto couldn't help but felt move.Both of them, Naruto thought with a sigh."Alright..."Hearing his soft confirmation made her body slightly trembled. Then Naruto rose from her bed and walked several steps away from it. Her eyes watched and her mind recorded every step he had taken. His lean and wide back embedded deeply into her consciousness."I teach you..."In her perception, there was something different about Naruto at this moment, he not just a carefree and unrestrained young man, he's not just a sweet and loving sweetheart, he was something more."How to become..."Naruto stopped right in the middle of the room and turned around, his heated gaze and confidence smirked, causing Jiang Wei's heart to beat severely, she didn't know whether it was coming from an excitement or an adoration toward him. Because Naruto right now, he was bearing something she never see before, he had the bearing... of a master."A shinobi."***The night was getting late as the sky turned darker.Zhong Hai was a metropolis kind of city, albeit it's not as large as central, but based on its economic business and advancement in many aspects, it's passed the discernment to be considered as a metropolis. It also could be seen from the culture that people lived there adopted; from how they living, clothes they wearing, and the idea they bearing. At this kind of city, the appearance of warehouses is not uncommon, although many of their industrial building placed far from the center and urban area, the warehouses itself still could be joined together among it.Somewhere around the west side of Zhong Hai city, a big warehouse stood in separation with other building. This large building came in rectangle form with a tall and rough fence made of wire completely surrounded it. The building brightness environment was dim, the source of light was no more than your thumbs and forefinger. Weeds and dust was the citizen of this place.*Vroom!*In the place where the roar of a barking dog was even barely to be heard, a sound of the engine of several SUV suddenly entered the vicinity. They like a bunch of big metallic bulls who raced against each other, taunting whoever on their side toward the finish line.These 'baddies' stopped before the wire fence with a large board hung, a red colored and capitalized words "PRIVATE PROPERTY, TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED" became the main vocal of this board.Several people came down from these SUV, they all wore black attire to the toe and the only way to distinguish one group from another was by the style of their clothes."I hate this place, the rusty smell was so overwhelming!" One of them spoke with a dissatisfied tone."What do you expect? jasmine flower's fragrance?" Another one of them spoke with a clear mocking tone"Screw you, what's the point of this anyway?!" the grumpy-man pushed his chest, "My people can finish this task easily."Both of them walk toward the wire gate, followed by the rest of the people behind them."So, you think you can handle her by yourself?" the gate that was supposed to be locked tight turn out can be easily opened, they pushed it and entered with a steady pace.The grumpy-man snorted, "Humph! what's so hard dealing with a young woman anyway!""You mean a young woman who managed to bring down someone else's enterprise?" the shrewd-man put a cigarette on his mouth, then brought out a lighter from his breast pocket and lit the cigarette.The shrew-man expression became unsightly, "She got help!""No, she's not getting any help, she used people," he breathed out smoke, "someone who capable of using other people would not be easily taken down"They arrived at the large double door, it gave out a loud sound when they pull it open."I heard we even use the service's of a famous sniper," the shrewd-man said while holding the door as people getting inside."What? Which one?" the grumpy-man wrinkled his brow as he held the other door."Poisonous spider," Terror crossed the shrewd-man eyes"Tiger king's lackey?! What the hell is he even doing in China?!" the same expression appeared on the grumpy-manIt seems like whoever this poisonous spider and tiger king was, they were scary enough to bring a sense of dread to this two man."At any rate, we should hurry, the meeting was about to start" Both of them quickly entered and closed the double door behind them as soon as they did.Meanwhile, at The Rose, Jiang Wei sat crossed leg on her bed, listened attentively to Naruto's word of instruction."Before we begin, you must promise me two things," he said with a strict expression.Jiang Wei nodded without hesitation, her believe toward Naruto had already reached a level where there's no single spect of doubt toward him.Naruto pointed out his forefinger, "First, be cautious. The moment you truly awaken your chakra, don't you ever dare to force using it when you felt your chakra's reservation was empty."Chakra in our body consisted of two things, chakra's core and chakra's reservation. Chakra's core is the source that will be generated energy or power for you to use, while chakra's reservation is where those energies will be stored.So, no matter how much you spend the chakra, as long you do not spend it directly from the core, is still fine."Jiang Wei raised her hand, "Why I shouldn't use the energy directly from the chakra's core?""Because you will die," Naruto said without any soft indication.Jiang Wei's heart turned cold and her mouth turned agape."More precisely, you will die if your chakra's core is broken."Jiang Wei narrowed her eyes, "How exactly that can happen and how I should avoid that?""That can happen if you force out your chakra's core to generate harder, One thing you need to note is that chakra's core has its own pace. Moreover, if the chakra's core detects the chakra's reservation devoid of any energy, the core will continue to generate until it was full. So, how can core fill the reservation if you continue using the energy its let out?Once core work harder, it will get burden and damage over the time, it's the same like the heart if it was forced to pump blood harder often, it can cause heart failure which can lead to death.Don't think if your chakra's core no longer works that mean you will back to normal human, no, you will die instead."Jiang Wei wore a thoughtful look, she put her finger on her mouth and glanced upward, "So, in order not to use chakra from the core, I must not let my reservation empty?"Naruto nodded, "Smart! Though it's OK your reservation goes empty, just don't use any action that has anything to do with utilize of chakra at that time."It took time for Jiang Wei to process everything before she finally nodded, "Got it, what's the second?""Don't be arrogant, another thing you need to note, there were a lot of people who also have power with a different kind in this world, and these people may stronger than you"Jiang Wei widened her eyes, "you said there are other kinds of power?""Yes!""How many?""As far as I know..." Naruto stretched his fingers, "four other power!"Jiang Wei slightly relaxed, "What, it just four... don't scare me like that...""Don't underestimate this power!" Naruto strongly reprimanded"O-ok!" Jiang Wei resumed her serious posture, "so, what are this powers?"Naruto continued his lesson, generally, there was four major power in this world without including chakra. These power are:1. Qi, the people who capable of using it called cultivator, they region of control was China2. Mana, the people who capable of using it called mage, they region of control was Europe3. Reiryoku, the people who capable of using it called fullbringer, they region of control was Japan4. Force, the people who capable of using it called specialist, they region of control was AmericaQi was a name for the heavenly power that cultivators use for their own benefit. They will absorb it and store it inside what they called dantian. Cultivators cannot generate Qi, they could only absorb it. Heavenly power originally consists of many elements, thus resulted in cultivators can summon elements such as fire, lightning, water, and others. They could even use it to strengthen their bodies also fly in the air.Mana was a term designation for the supernatural power possessed by Mages. Magicians were divided into two, wizards and fighters. Wizard were mages who use wands or staves to incite spell, while fighters use many physical weapons such as a sword, lance, or axe.Reiryoku is a name for the spiritual sensitivity and willpower used by the fullbringer to unleash the potential within them, like chakra, reiryoku born within someone although it didn't have a core.Force is a term for specialists as a substitute for the word stamina, not very clear what the reason they replace it but technically, the utility of force was just the same as stamina.Jiang Wei felt her brain turned mushy as soon as Naruto finished told her about these power. She probably would never know such thing exist if she never met him and having chakra.Wait.He mention that these power possessors have an area they controlled or something, but where is shinobi's place among them?"Hey, Naruto..." Jiang Wei wrinkled her brow, "where is the shinobi area of control?"Naruto looked taken aback by this question, he scratched his cheek while averting his eyes from her gazes, "Well, let just say a shinobi was a... wanderer..."Jiang Wei went face fault after heard his response, he basically confessed that shinobi didn't have home!Naruto face blushed in shame, "Well anyway, do you promise me these two things?"Jiang Wei regained her bearing, with unwavering dedication, she said in a firm tone:"I promise!"Naruto nodded in satisfaction, "Good! Then let us begin, your training!"
