"Now then little ones, from tomorrow we will start our lessons on your common element, Yin release, and go from there. Now then shall we do back for the day" I said while standing up and stretching my waist and back to ease up my muscles. Not like I needed to do that but old habits die hard, I guess.
"Yes," They both reply, following which we then headed to the village.
.....
The next day came and together with Hinami, we went with the villagers to the fields. Hinami as usual went with the young ladies and wives to do whatever It is they do.
Like the day before, we worked and chatted In between, and towards the afternoon, the wives came with the food as usual. The village is running quite plainly. Just the usual waking up, working in the fields, eating, resting, working again, and then going to rest for the night and have their nightly activities to those it may concern.
To say it's dry would be an understatement but there isn't much to be done about it.
After the meal, I excised myself from the boys and left with Hinami as I knew that Ria would be free at this time. We decided to head toward the clearing we were at yesterday and wait for Ria there, as if couldn't find us in the village, she would be able to find us there.
Less than thirty minutes after we arrived, We saw Ria running in our direction, I could feel her coming as she left the village gate as my senses are now passively working even if I don't it too. Makes it harder to be caught off guard but makes life somewhat boring as well.
"Big brother, big sister" Ria greeted while waving her hands as she neared us.
"We-" before I could reply to Ria's greeting, I noticed something flash past me and hugged the now suffocating Ria in her breast and a scream that interrupted me.
"Kyaa, Ria-chan called me big sister"
Yep. That was Hinami. I knew she took a liking to Ria and was even pestering her throughout our time together yesterday. Even when they talked in shushed voices thinking I couldn't hear them and all.
I would be lying if I said I wasn't happy for Hinami after all, Ria is the first person to be so close to us since we left the moon. As the little sister on the moon and the girl, I'm our relationship, seeing someone she could take care of must have triggered something in her.
''Hmf cmf bweaf" Ria, who was currently suffocating was trying to say something we couldn't make out but I knew she was in distress, and as a responsible big brother, I decided to come to her aid
"Um Nami-chan, You are really suffocating Little Ria, you know"
Hinami looked down at Ria and in a moment of realization... "Gasp, Ria-chan, are you okay? I'm sorry for that, I just got overly emotional at being called big sister. Sorry about that"
Catching her breath for some seconds and looking at Hinami's bust like it was her worst enemy, Ria said: "Sigh, don't mind it, I guess, but what's with that fat thing on your chest"
I could feel Hinami literally deflate at being called fat by Ria, but looking at Ria, I couldn't blame her, after all, she almost fell victim to this marvelous asset that belong only to me.
"Ria-chan this isn't fat, it's a special part of my body as a woman and I am proud of it, you shouldn't say something like that to a lady, you also have it you know," Hinami said in an aggrieved voice that would make anyone feel pity for her and it almost worked on Ria... almost, as when she wanted to feel pity, she caught the last part of Hinami's sentence and shouted
"HUH? How can I also have that kind of thing, big sister, I don't know about you but there is no way I am going to have such things on my body, hmph" and folded her hands.
They continued bickering for some time before I decided to cut in and said: "Alright alright, that should be enough don't you think, Ria, Hinami? Nami, you look gorgeous the way you are, don't let anyone tell you otherwise and Ria, you are still little, when you get to your big sister's age, yours might even be larger"
I may not know much about the female body and its physiology but I do know that the more chakra a woman's body has, the more developed it will be. The same applies to men, after all, my little brother is a testament to that and Tsunade could be a testament to that for the female as well. Though women like Sakura can be said to be exceptions, I digress.
"HUH? That's impossible big brother. I would never have something as dangerous as that, and my mother and all the women's breasts are not as huge and dangerous as that" Ria retorted, she even used dangerous two times in one sentence. Sigh, I hope this doesn't lead to trauma or something like that.
"Yes, yes, now let's not forget why we are here," I said as I changed the topic, I didn't want to discuss the human body with a little girl and also didn't want to tell her that her chakra capacity might affect her bust size. Keyword being 'might'
Now that I have their attention, I continued. "From what we talked about yesterday, I can assume we all know what spiritual and physical energy is, what and how it can be used and our element"
"Yes!" they answered and I then continued,
"Good, now, we checked our elemental affinities yesterday and I said we will focus on your common affinity being, the Yin element. Bow from yesterday's lesson, who can tell me what the Yin element represent?"
"I know, I know, It's the spiritual energy!" Ria answered with enthusiasm, and I nodded and continued:
"Good, then, for our first lesson, on spiritual energy, we will be learning how to single out our spiritual energy and use it while strengthening It with chakra"
Some might be confused as to what I mean by this, and the answer to that is really simple, I want to create a kind of soul-related ability or bloodline limit. I could already use the vast amount of soul force in my sea of consciousness or mindscape due to unlocking all my chakra points, but I am aware that there is a possibility of using that energy even before opening all chakra points.
In this world, the Yamanaka Clan could use a nerfed or customized version of telepathy, and the Nara clan could use telekinesis on their shadow. That may be due to their excess Yin chakra but that confirms my theory.
If someone has an affinity to Yin chakra, it just means that the said person has had his crown chakra point opened a little bit. Since I theorized that our chakra is the transformed natural energy from our cells drawn out by our spiritual and Physical mixed together, I could also say that certain factors are at play when It comes to affinities.
As science will tell us, 'energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another,' i can say that this theory also stands true in this world.
As regards to chakra affinities, I think it has to do with what tou have been exposed to for a long time. Though as time goes by, the future generation will inherit said affinities such as the Uchiha clan and their Fire affinity, Uzumaki and Senju with their Water or Earth affinity. Others like the Kurama clam, Yamanaka clam, Nara clan, and Hyuuga clan, are known for their Yin chakra.
My point is, something must have happened to the ancestors of these clams that led to some affinities being passed down.
Coming down to Hinami and Ria with their affinity to Yin chakra, I could say it is as a result of them both being girls but that only happens in Chinese novels or it could be due to the constant use of her mind in the case of Ria. As for Hinami, it could be an inheritance from Hamura so I won't go into details on that.
Coming out of my thoughts, I faced them both and said: "The first level we will start with, is the simple form of training we are all familiar with, meditation" noticing their rising confusion, I raised a finger to signal them to keep quiet and then continued "I know what you want to say, and yes, it is what tou think, but this time around, it isn't just a simple meditation"
"I want you both to sit in any form you are comfortable with and take in steady breaths. The purpose of this exercise is for you both to access your mindscapes"
I see Hinami raising her hands, I point at her and say "Yes, Nami-Kun"
"What is this mindscape?" She asked.
"Good question, Nami-Kun. A mindscape is where your consciousness lie. A whole new world inside your head where anything you wish for becomes reality. Here give me your hands"
As they both gave me their hands, I dragged their consciousness into my mindscape. My mindscape looks totally different than it was before I opened all my chakra points, before, there was land and trees and the like but now it was a vast blue sea with a hint of purple. With a thought, land appeared and a building in form of a pavilion appeared with seats and a table inside.
"Well them, shall we?" I said as gestured toward the pavilion.
They were a bit shocked as they didn't react for quite some time. The first to react and take it over the top, as usual, was Ria as she exclaimed excitedly with visible sparkles in her eyes: "Woah! what is this place big brother, and what is this and..." she kept asking different questions without waiting for an answer.
I chuckled at her attitude and then looked toward Hinami only to see her looking around with a curious expression and a smile on her face.
"Hmm, what's up Nami?" I asked
"Ah nothing, it's just that I have seen something familiar before with father, but father doesn't call it mindscape so I didn't know it was this" she replied.
"Oh? Uncle has a mindscape too?"
Now that surprised me. But come to think of it, it would be weird if he didn't have it. Hagoromo too. I really have been making some slight oversight when it comes to things from the anime, thinking in the first to have it or something. Well, no point thinking about it.
"Now that I think about it, I also have a mindscape as you call it," Hinami said. She closed her eyes and the next moment, a portion of my consciousness was pulled into another terrain.
It was a plain forest with high trees of different varieties but there weren't any harmful trees here only beautiful trees we have come across or flowers that she took a liking to in the oast
This was Hinami's mindscape. Though it was already formed, it was little compared to my vast ocean-sized consciousness.
If the water in my mindscape can be to be my spiritual energy, the trees here should be hers, though the mindscape needs a lot of work in terms of arrangements.
"How is it," She asked with pride dripping from her.
"Uts great and quite beautiful if I do say so myself," I said my honest opinion about the place. For her to already have a mindscape formed is already worthy of praise.
"Wow, this place is beautiful, did you also create this, big brother?" Ria asked as she noticed the new addition to the place.
"Nope, this is all, Hinami's, she already has her landscape, you're the only one left" I answered with a chuckle as I pat her head.
"Eh? No wonder it is small, I could create something better than this when I create mine" Ria said with a pout. I don't know whether it's a competition between them or something but I decided not to comment on that statement.
"Ho-oh? Can you even create a mindscape? Let me tell you, it isn't as easy as you think, are you sure you're up for the task?" Hinami said from the side as a taunt of sorts.
"Hmph, you will see" Ria snorted and looked toward me, and said: "Big brother, come, teach me how to create this"
"Hmm okay," I closed my eyes once more and we were all back to our bodies. I then looked at both of them and said: "First of all, it is not that hard to create, you have all been meditating together in the village while circulating your chakra, all you have to do now is to just focus your thoughts or intents on creating a mental world. Anything that comes to your mind is ok, just think about it while meditating. That moment when your mind is free from all external disturbances, create a world unique to you and only you"
The things I said are the steps I followed while creating my mindscape. It came easy to me as I already had prior knowledge about it plus my strong soul, I don't know about Hinami but I guess I can chuck it up to 'she's Hamura's daughter' and be done with the thought. In the case of Ria, I can't say how long it will take, but I doubt it will take longer, she is a genius after all
Ria closed her eyes and started meditating and started following m instructions, or so I would like to think. I thought of placing a sound isolation barrier around her but discarded the thought as it might cause more inconvenience.
Hinami, at the side, was looking at us smugly, probably thinking she doesn't have to follow this routine as she already has her mindscape formed, but does she know what's coming for her, I thought with a smile gradually forming on my lips.
Hinami noticed the smile and her face fell, she probably knows what this smile means.
"Nami-chan, it's good that you've formed your mindscape, I guess it's time for level two of this training, don't you think," I said while still maintaining a smile.
"Level two? There were levels to the training?" she screamed in a low voice so as not to startle Ria
"But of course my dear Nami, if you remember, I did say that creating the mindscape is but the first level now didn't I?" I continued "As a matter of fact Nami-chan, your mindscape needs a lot of work don't you think?"
"What work, it's normal from what I saw," she said defending herself.
"Well, if it's normal, why don't you bring us both inside and create something for us to sit on? You can do that, can't you" I said, my smile becoming more charming, from my perspective, that is.
"Fine, come, let me show you," she said as she reached out her hands to hold mine and draw me into her mindscape, but then, nothing happened.
"Well, that was anti-climatic..."
