Kamiya Sanyō had a foundation in meditation thanks to her childhood training.
But after receiving the Hand Seals and Chakra Refining Technique, she had successfully refined Chakra in just forty minutes!
Even faster than that so-called genius, Kakashi!
"I-I succeeded?" Kamiya Sanyō excitedly sensed the energy within her. Was this the source of the ninja's lofty status?
Now, I have it too!
"Don't get cocky. Stay calm and steady. You were able to refine Chakra so quickly because of your age," Kamiya Keiyun said.
After all, the teacher had said that Chakra was formed by combining spiritual energy and physical energy. A twelve-year-old child was surely more developed than a five-year-old, with more physical and spiritual energy as well.
Combined with Kamiya Sanyō's prior meditation training, which allowed her to enter a calm state early, that was why she had managed to refine Chakra in forty minutes.
If she had started refining Chakra at the age of five as well, she would probably have been fast too, but not fast enough to do it in only forty minutes.
"No, no. You only took fifteen minutes. How could I possibly be proud in front of you?" Kamiya Sanyō rolled her eyes at Kamiya Keiyun. She had an oval face, long black hair gathered behind her and tied with a red ribbon. Her large eyes brimmed with excitement, while her neck was pale and slender, her delicate collarbones faintly visible beneath her collar. Her chest rose slightly, making her look both pretty and lively.
She was completely unlike the Yamato Nadeshiko-style girls raised by conventional families.
Kamiya Keiyun hurriedly composed himself. "Fine, keep practicing. Disperse your Chakra, then refine it again. Disperse it, refine it again. Practice until you can gather Chakra with a single thought, without needing Hand Seals!"
"Mm-hmm!" Since it concerned her future, Kamiya Sanyō naturally devoted herself wholeheartedly and immediately began trying.
Kamiya Keiyun sighed and sat down on the floor. Was that enough?
He did not know, but he felt it probably was not. After all, that man had lost a leg because of the war. What if he had earned merit on the battlefield?
If someone with such merits had his marriage proposal rejected, would that not chill the hearts of the other Konoha Ninja?
When the time came, if those Konoha Ninja united against them, how could the Kamiya Family continue surviving in Konoha?
So the safest solution was probably to kill him!
Whether it was Kamiya Sanyō or Shimura Ken, as long as one of them died, the marriage naturally could not happen. He could not possibly kill Kamiya Sanyō, so he could only choose to kill Shimura Ken.
As for whether killing someone would leave him with psychological baggage...
If he were killing one of his own countrymen, Kamiya Keiyun would have had some. But in this world, he did not.
He did not even feel much attachment to Kamiya Hiromi or Kamiya Koromo. In this world, the only person he cared about was Kamiya Sanyō, who had raised him since childhood and could speak the same language as him!
"Strength. What matters most is strength. He's someone who has been on the battlefield, while I'm just an elementary school student trying to kill him. That's pure wishful thinking!" Kamiya Keiyun shook his head and began considering how to increase his strength.
First, it still had to come down to Chakra. After all, Shimura Ken was a ninja and definitely possessed it too. Father had once said that Chakra had to be dealt with using Chakra!
"Chakra Control, Chakra Meridians!" Kamiya Keiyun decided to start with the former. Once his Chakra Control became strong enough, perhaps he could enter those tiny meridians too. As for what use entering them would have, he would find out after getting in.
But how was Chakra Control trained?
Simple: visualization and shaping!
This was a method mentioned in many novels. Though those involved Internal Energy, releasing it outside the body and shaping it into little birds, rabbits, and other forms. His version would be inside the body.
The Chakra in his body was currently just a shapeless mass. But if he had enough control over it, could he shape it into rabbits, pigs, Klee, or Keqing?
With greater precision, he could shape fur and eyes too.
With even greater precision, he might even be able to shape internal organs and blood vessels!
It was just like 3D modeling. His current level was that of a three-year animation student. If he could evolve to the standards of Disney, Pixar Animation Studios, or Sparkly Key Animation Studio, that would naturally mean his Chakra Control had reached an extremely high level!
He got to work immediately!
He would start with the simplest thing: molding a rabbit!
He did not know whether orthodox Chakra Control training worked this way, but it did not matter. He had the Heaven Rewards Diligence talent. As long as he trained, he would improve. He could not lose out!
Hmm.
What did rabbits look like again?
Forget it. He would change targets!
Kamiya Keiyun opened his eyes and looked around, then spotted Kamiya Sanyō sitting on his bed with her eyes closed in cultivation.
A radiant young girl, bright as an immortal.
You'll do!
First, he would shape a human outline.
Kamiya Keiyun found it extremely difficult. He spent a long time before barely managing to gather his Chakra together.
But as long as there was progress, it meant it was possible.
Then, he molded it into a human shape.
After that, he began making the clothes bit by bit.
Kamiya Keiyun felt as though he had returned to his university days, when he had made MMD videos to earn extra money. Later, dissatisfied with the public models available, he had begun teaching himself modeling.
Though he had rarely had time to play with MMD after joining a project team and becoming busy with work, he had not forgotten the skills he learned back then.
He shaped it bit by bit until, at a certain moment, his vision went black.
His head drooped, and he fainted.
After a long while, when he woke up, he found himself lying on the bed.
"You're awake?" Kamiya Sanyō's voice sounded. "I saw you had fallen asleep, so I put you up here."
"Uh..." Kamiya Keiyun rubbed his temples. He felt as though he had woken from a hangover after drinking two pounds of counterfeit liquor, and his head hurt terribly.
This sister of mine was really carefree. I didn't fall asleep, I fainted!
But what was the principle behind this? Was it excessive mental exhaustion?
No wonder the teacher had said that training Chakra Control required an adult ninja's supervision!
What he did not know was that ordinary Chakra Control training only consumed Chakra. The reason he had depleted his mental energy was because of Heaven Rewards Diligence.
"Your voice is hoarse. Here, drink some water." Kamiya Sanyō brought over a bowl of water and helped Kamiya Keiyun sit up.
"Thanks." Leaning against his sister's chest, Kamiya Keiyun took a sip of water and felt much better.
"What time is it?" he asked.
"Four-thirty in the afternoon!" Kamiya Sanyō replied.
"Oh!" Kamiya Keiyun nodded, closed his eyes, and began sensing his Chakra.
I cultivated until I fainted. If there's no effect, that would be ridiculous!
He refined Chakra, then tried to move it. The moment he sensed it, he immediately noticed a change.
Before, moving his Chakra had been agonizing. He could move it, but only a tiny bit at a time.
But now, he could move the entire mass of Chakra under his command. It was still strenuous, but compared to before, it was far easier!
Before, it was like pulling a cow. Now, it was more like pulling a pig.
"This training works!" Kamiya Keiyun grew excited, but then he remembered that this method consumed mental energy and immediately felt miserable.
"Wait, if it consumes mental energy, then I'll strengthen my mental energy!" Kamiya Keiyun remembered that Heaven Rewards Diligence also provided bonuses for creating techniques!
As long as I create a Meditation Method that can strengthen and restore mental energy, won't that solve the problem of cultivation making people faint?
"By the way, Sis, how is your cultivation going?" Kamiya Keiyun asked.
"Now I can gather Chakra whenever I form Hand Seals, but gathering Chakra without Hand Seals is difficult. I only succeed once in a while!" Kamiya Sanyō said.
"No rush. Take it slowly!" Kamiya Keiyun comforted her.
Sure enough, the difference between having Heaven Rewards Diligence and not having it was enormous. He had completed this training in just one class period, while his sister had spent the whole afternoon and still had not succeeded.
"Once you can refine Chakra with a single thought, the next step is refining Chakra while walking. You can try that while shopping outside. As for the step after that, I think it's being able to refine Chakra at any time while running or fighting!"
"Mm-hmm!" Kamiya Sanyō nodded repeatedly. She trusted this younger brother greatly. Others considered him an idiot, but Kamiya Sanyō had always known that her brother was a genius!
Everything he said was always right!
