Team 2 Jin's Intro to Chakra

Participants: Jin Senju and Kumiko Kyoko

Purpose: Kumiko Training Jin in Chakra Manipulation

ChikaKururugi: It had been an
interesting day for the woman, but now as the evening was approaching she
decided it was time to meet up with one of her two students. Jin Senju, she had
sent him a notice to meet her at her apartment by 7pm in the evening. The Genin
had been given the address and this was the best place for her to practice
Chakra manipulation with him. She had cleaned her home, eaten a light meal and
consumed more water than she probably should. She gave herself a chance to
rest, clear herself of anything that would distract her, and make sure
everything was ready for the time her student would arrive. Her home was
prepared for the chakra manipulation training, though it was probably not
something her Genin was expecting. She set out the area she used for
meditation, everything prepared and calm, quiet and relaxed. She set the
incense to burn the soft smell of sandalwood filling the air and floating up
from her small altar. On that altar was a Konoha headband, the fabric covered
in spots of blood and the metal tarnished and battel torn. Next to it was an
image of a rather handsome red haired man with the brightest of green eyes, and
the image even included Kumiko in it. A younger Kumiko smiling brightly. It
looked like a date at a festival, as it had been. The image was what she used
to give offerings to the ancients for a safe journey for her beloved. She
dropped into a seated position and waited for the Genin’s arrival.

Kolossi: 水-
Jin Senju, a corresponding Genin within the village known as Hoshigakure. Jin
had been snug within his modern estate type of home, something of luxury.
Subtle yet harmonic feelings ran out through his room with a exsotic tone of
sounds that played in the background halls of his home. Jin removed himself
from his bed, approaching a distinc pile several sheets of paper, each one
inscribed with pacific things. However, one ‘’letter’’ stood out from the rest,
a notice for a meeting at a specific location with his Jounin sensei for chakra
manipulation training. The letter emphasized a time notification as well.
Despite the current time, the afternoon was soon approaching. Jin decided to
take care of his daily routines before going (shower, eating, home care). Jin
then peered his head at the main clock in the house, a grandfather clock, brown
in color and polished to the point the face could be reflected off it, as if it
were a mirror. Grabbing a few selective ninja tools (kunai,. etc). Jin reached
the appropriate location, knocking on the door for a response from his Jounin sensei.

ChikaKururugi: Kumiko rose to stand
as she heard the knock on her door. At least this Genin was a punctual one, she
could appreciate that. It was likely the Senju blood, they were very proper
individuals. At least the Ikken and Michibi had taught us that. She approached
the door opening it and motioned him inside. "We will be doing chakra
manipulation training in here. The back corner where the altar is set up. I
have some sitting pillows placed. Pick one and sit. Todays training will be chakra
manipulation through meditation." She said to the Genin. The woman eyed
the boy for a moment and simply nodded as she turned her attention back to
where she had come. "Make sure to leave your shoes at the door and use a
pair of the guest slippers at the entry." She called out as she walked
over towards the small meditation corner. She crouched down and lit a new cone
of incense, a larger one, and wondered how well her new Genin would do with his
training. Patience was a virtue, she wondered if he had it.

Kolossi:水- Jin looked at the door as it opened
slowly. What could be present? No other than Jin’s
Jounin sensei. Listening to what she had to say, he directed his attention to
the altar behind her from afar. ‘’Today's training will be chakra
manipulation through meditation." - Jounin sensei, taking heave to what
the higher ranking shinobi had to say, Jin crouched down and removed his black
rubber material combat sandals and placed them to the right of the door, not
inside, but outside. Then reaching his arm into the building ‘’excuse me’’ as
he took up a pair of left and right guest slippers, a customary thing to do
when entering another one's home. He’d head towards the vividly colored
cushions that accompanied the meditation altar. Taking the one to the right, he
bent his knees and sat down, crossing his legs as he sat. Before doing any
other motions, he sighed and awaited the Jounin sensei for further instructions
on how to complete the task at hand. -水

ChikaKururugi: Kumiko
nodded her head in approval at the promptness of her student. He had good
manners, and he knew what he was doing. This was not as common it seemed, in
Hoshigakure. Though some families trained it specifically, in Konoha and a few
other villages, and it was always nice to find someone that understood the
mannerisms required when you were a guest. She would offer him food and drink
after the training was over, it was harder to meditate on a full stomach, and
it would make it much easier in the long run. She took the other cushion after
he had taken his seat and reached out a moment to touch her finger to the frame
of the picture that she had set up on her special altar. She pressed her palm
over her heart for a moment, touching the pendant hidden there, and then turned
her attention to her student. "Do you know how to meditate? Today we are
doing chakra manipulation through meditation. Training our mind to focus on
nothing but the sole purpose of manipulating our chakra through clearing it of
everything else. Does that sound plausible to you? Jin?" She asked him as
she watched her new student with a strangely calm gaze.

Kolossi: 水-Jin
looked at his Jounin sensei’s gestures that seemed to be linked with the
photograph upon the altar that neighboured them. Hearing what she had said, Jin
responded ‘’Yes, I do know how to meditate. Containing to chakra manipulation
through meditating seems to parallel to sage training, but not on a level that
it was exactly alike?’’ With the assumption that the mediating takes the normal
position of any old mediation, jin raised his arms, bending his elbow as he
clasped his right hand index finger with his right hand thumb, doing the same
for the left. Closing his eyes, he asked ‘’Is this the appropriate way to
complete the task beforehand? Or am doing it a bit too traditionally. Jin began
clearing his mind of all thoughts, this included his late night mechanics he
had planned for a specific ninja tool. Suddenly his body became more ‘’laxed’’
in the sense it was more breathable to a certain extent. Jin hesitated to speak,
as if he did it could have disputed his meditation. Channelling his chakra
flow, it became more apparent that Jin’s was an abundance of flowing nature. -水

ChikaKururugi: "That is a bit
too traditional, yes." Kumiko as she folded her legs before her, resting
her feet one over the other with her knees popped up a little. She slowly
relaxed and her knees dropped as she started to breath a little. She brought
her hands before her and put them over her knees, palms up. Her hands rested
over her knees and she directed her attention to the young man before her.
"This position is easier, because you can see what you are doing. At the
start you'll need to see to focus, but in time y ou'll be able to do it without
thinking." The woman said as she released a long breath. While staring at
him she let her mind clear and then slowly pushed her chakra manipulation into
her palms. The lilac glow formed in her palms, rolling over the skin and
clinging like a second skin. "The egg and flow, rise and fall... "
She said and the chakra in her palms seemed to mimic these patterns.
"Learning how to manipulate the patterns and just do nothing but that,
calmly - softly... " She said in that low soft voice, quiet and almost
sad. It was like this was something she had learned to do, because it was one
of the few joys she had left.

Kolossi: 水-
‘’Right’’ responded Jin as he lowered his arms and hands. Opening out both left
and right hands, showing his palms upwards, then releasing them onto his knees.
Jin had left them there to holst. Still feeling the presence of the relaxed
chakra in his body, it expelled even quicker when he lowered his palms on his
knee ‘’flash’’ the subtle feeling Jin got when he noticed a another chakra
presences in the same room. From the way the chakra signature appeared, it was
clear that it was Jin’s Jounin sensei. Jin felt a somewhat empowerment on his
body, he had never felt something so great, besides the feeling of making
weapons. ‘’Couldn’t chakra exposure effect things of biotic and abiotic
features around you?’’ ‘’Ruffle…’’ the echoing sound from his stomach as it
roared throughout the area. ‘’Sorry, sensei. It’s just all this silence is
getting to my stomach.’’ Speaking in a soft tone to avoid remorse. -水

ChikaKururugi: Kumiko shook her head
a little and then motioned to her own palms. "Learning to manipulate your
chakra like this, allows you to someday imbue your weapons with her own natural
chakra. There was a man, in Konoha, long ago that used to coat his knives in
his wind element. He was known as Asuma Sarutobi." Kumiko said in a soft
and low voice. A small chuckle leaving her at the way his stomach rumbled.
"Sit and practice for a bit longer, I'll make some food - as a
reward." The woman said as she rose to stand, leaving him there in her
corner altar and working her way towards the kitchen with surprisingly silent
steps. She moved quietly through her kitchen and found things she remembered
younger males enjoyed eating. A simple vegetable broth with fresh noodles, and
some very thinly sliced beef laid on top of it all. She even cracked an egg
over the top so that he could blend it in for himself. When she was done she
set the bowl to the side, and prepared a simple bowl of rice for herself before
turning her attention to making some tea.

Kolossi: 水-
Jin nodded his head, listening to what she had to say. But a specific name
caught his attention ‘’Asuma Sarutobi’’ was especially strange to him. For some
reason he felt a connection to the name ‘’Sarutobi’’. It was very peculiar to
him. And the method she had told him that the man used. Jin released the chakra
outflow from his body, direction his attention to his Jounin sensei. Looking at
her as she walked away, Jin decided to take a short well deserved break.
Standing up, Jin looked around the house to a certain degree, to avoid an
invasion of ‘’privacy’’ he stayed near the altar. Looking at the various things
scattered at designated places in the house. Reaching his arm out to a certain
book ‘’Hey, sensei. What’s this book about?’’ he asked her. As he opened the
book starting with the cover. Viewing the pages he saw various pictures, Jin
concluded it could have been a album of some sort, such as family album. Jin
then slipped the book back, reaching out again to a scroll sealed up with a
black wire. He opened the scroll, apparent on the scroll was ink drawn kajin
describing a lecture on how to live. ‘’Sensei did you know there was a scroll
over here?’’ said Jin. He’d roll it back into place, walking over to the
picture on the altar. He erected his neck towards the picture frame ‘’Oh’’,
taking up the picture then placing it down. Jin then sat back down on his
cushion. Awaiting the sensitive yet extraordinary scent of food that was near
his location. -水

ChikaKururugi: Kumiko took her time
in preparing the food and when she felt everything was ready she packed it all
up and then walked over towards the living room. She had head all his questions
and knew something like this was coming. “That book is an Album, from when I
lived in Konoha, I managed to take a few items with me before I had to run
away. I’m considered a criminal there.” She said as she sat the bowl down in
front of him and sat down with her own rice. The tea was set to the side as
well and she poured out two cups, one for each of them. “The scroll is one of
six that I got when I was traveling with Masaki Kurama, he was a Jounin at the
time and I just a researcher. It’s a Scroll of Ninshu, written by the Monks
that were followers of the Sage of the Six Paths.” Kumiko said as she picked up
her tea and took a small sip, her attention directed at the Genin now. “And the
picture you picked up, was me and Masaki, he was supposed to be my husband.”
She said in a low voice her head turning towards the picture, she set the
teacup down and her fingers rested over her heart where the leaf pendant rested
under her shirt.

Kolossi: 水-
‘’Oh you lived in konohagakure? My clan originated from there a long time ago I
heard.’’ Looking at the tea as it poured down into the tea cup. ‘’Sage of six
paths? The creator of ninshu, right?’’ Sipping his tea as he conversed along
with his Jounin sensei. Setting the tea cup down onto his side, he’d take the
rice bowl and wooden chopsticks, dipping them into the rice as the ‘’bird
pecked’’ an array of rice grains, setting them on his tongue as he ate. ‘’Well
sensei, I think I’ve learned a lot today, things that i’ve never known about.
But I think it’s time for me to go.’’ Placing down the empty rice bowl, he’d
bow to her, then stand, leaving the room they both were in. As he walked down
he approached the door, setting the guest slippers on the side, then grabbing
his shinobi sandals, planting his feet into them. Jin raised his arm, waving
his hand to his sensei ‘’best wishes’’, with those words he was off, closing
the door behind him. As he walked home, he looked at the moon, shining in the
dark blue sky.-水

ChikaKururugi: Kumiko quietly
watched the genin, a small smile on her face. “At one time yes.” She answered
as she sat crosslegged and ate quietly. She sipped her tea and a contemplation
overtook her features. There was many paths for her to take, perhaps… Yes
perhaps the best one was to head down the road of the Sage. At least after
there was someone appropriate to replace her in training Genin. Then she could
do so. For now she was needed most here, and that was the most important. She
watched him as he got up, nodding her head a little. “I’ll contact you the next
time we will train.” She called out as she quietly returned to her food and
contemplation. Stopping for a moment to add a few chopstick full rice pats on
the small dish she set before the picture of Masaki. “I miss you so much…” She
whispered as her fingers pressed to the glass. With the Genin gone, the Jounin
could… be herself.
