There was plenty of news about the Empire, and quite a few villagers said they had taken part-time jobs there. The places they went were also well known to the villagers of Konoha Village.
The two worlds were basically similar in many ways, but the Empire left them far behind in terms of environment and moral values.
For example, in the imperial world, there was a place called the "Ichiraku Ramen Chain." It not only served all kinds of delicious food, but was also an important place for ninjas to exchange intelligence and share their daily lives.
Every corner of the cafeteria revealed the warmth and order unique to Konoha Village, and that order was largely thanks to a strict and fair manager—Might Guy.

Because of this, he had extremely high hygiene standards for the cafeteria, especially when it came to cleaning utensils. His requirements were almost harsh: every plate had to be carefully washed seven times before it could be put out for use.
The villager in question had just returned from working part-time there. Carrying his longing for the imperial world and his love of ninjutsu, he came to the imperial Konoha Village, where education was open to everyone. No one was restricted because of their age, background, or wealth.
