Quantum Leap: Multiverse Transmigration 103 4.27 How Does Naruto's Character Came Into This Episode?

We met at the hostel lobby and proceeded for a short walk to the nearest open air market around the district. The Night was still young and there were a lot of vendors trying to poach us with their food wares that looked tempting enough. Since we had a fairly heavy lunch earlier, a simple dish would be enough to start the conversation rolling.

We sat at one of the wooden round tables and order steam c.o.c.kles with spicy sambal drippings and 3 bottles of Leo light. Even with the Monk around, having a light refreshment would not tarnish his image as some countries might deem the behaviour as intolerable within the society.

"Chosen One, I heard that you had used your Psi energy spheres to ward off incoming evil spirits during your second shot at the Ashram. And a Kamehameha sphere directly into an evil ent.i.ty when it tried harming your colleagues, was that right?"

"Benevolent Monk, that all was true. I did that to protect the others as well as to terminate one that had caused harm by preparing the unearthly foods for us to eat."

"That's good. You had used those two in accordance with the strict guidance of not harming others as well as other living things. You will learn something new later, which I intend to guide you. This time, instead of an energy ball, you would splay out a kind of web that acts like an offence and defence mechanism from your fingers or palm."

"Alright, I'd wait for the time then," curiously thinking of shooting a Web. I'm going to be Spiderman next? This is getting far complicated and more fun actually. I arched a smile upwards with my lips as I think that I could be Spiderman soon!

Soon the c.o.c.kles came, the sh.e.l.ls were still steaming and it was whitish in colour. Some of the c.o.c.kles had opened up slightly and its easier to pick the meat inside using a toothpick. The meat was partially cooked and it is still a bit b.l.o.o.d.y inside. Once the meat had been carefully picked and dipped with the spicy sambal, it was quite a savoury dish.

The portion was meant for only one person actually and there were 5 of us. After a few pickings, only the whitish sh.e.l.ls were left and I gestured towards the direction of the cook to send in 1 more portion.

This dish was famous throughout the seafood industries, the smaller ones were succulent while the larger half-fist sized were chewy and meatier.

"Benevolent One, how would the police react to these findings, based on your experience and seniority?"

The Monk took a swig at his half-empty gla.s.s of beer and replied that its an open and shut case. They had pieces of evidence and wished not to make them public, but may make exceptions in the case of the SPI team.

The rest nodded when they heard this piece of news, which means the SPI team would be able to let p.o.r.nsak narrate the continuing episodes that shroud the mysteries around the ladies in white tomorrow.

Soon, they finished the simple supper and beer, paid up and went straight to the hostel for some shut-eye before waiting for the arrival of the rest of the guys tomorrow. As for p.o.r.nsak, Benevolent Monk and me, we still had a long time ahead of us as he decided to show how to improve the channelling of our chakra points during a battle.

We soon arrived at the hostel, the two members of SPI went to their respective rooms while the Benevolent Monk followed into ours.

"Chosen One, have you ever seen any movies or person in action doing hand seals during their meditation?"

"I am not sure of it, but I've only seen one during a normal lotus meditation posture where you pinched your middle fingers with your thumbs on each hand and rest it on the side of the knees there."

I answered as I entered and the Benevolent Monk closed the door after him. He sat on the chair while p.o.r.nsak and I sat on the edge of the bed.

"Hmm, these hand seals represent the Chinese Zodiac and there were 12 hand seals altogether. Each hand seal depicts each meaning and usefulness. It may be too much for you to absorb but let me show you an example."

He gestured us to look at his hands carefully as he clasped them together, then entwining them, forming a kind of formation only Naruto would only know what those means. For each hand seal that he performed, a j.a.panese sounding syllabus was made through his lips. There were: Ne, Us.h.i.+, Tora, U, Tatsu, Mi, Uma, Hitsuji, Saru, Tori, Inu and I, which translates as Rat, Ox, Tiger, Hare, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Ram, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Boar.

"Wow, that looks pretty deep and do I need to perform all of them all at once in accordance to order?"

"It is pretty deep. Each hand seals represent meaning to your chakra distribution and its uses. However, I have to warn you first... If you made a wrong move during the hand seal, it may seal yourself up as well and there is no way for you to reverse that."

"By the way, Benevolent Monk, where does this hand seals originate from since you used j.a.panese words to describe formation?"

"Some say it originates from j.a.pan, Korea or China. It does or does not have any Buddhism values in it. Some say its pure Taoism and these hand seals had their own meanings. Let me show you one example, this is a Tora or Tiger as we know it."

The Benevolent Monk clasped his hands together with only the forefinger stretched upwards and the thumbs facing inwards.

"You try it, don't worry it won't seal you up accidentally, here..."

He helped me while I clasped my hands together, thumbs towards me, my forefinger pointing upwards and knuckles closed in as if in prayer.

"This hand seal is particularly in use with the release of Fire Release. Fire Release is almost always used offensively, typically by kneading chakra in the body into flames that the user breathes from the mouth."

"Simpler applications of Fire Release include creating a stream of fire or alternatively breaking the stream into bursts of flames. Once produced, the fire can be shaped or otherwise manipulated, but exerting such control requires a careful skill."

"If the flames are channelled into a weapon, such as a sword, that allows the user greater finesse with how the fire is spread. Fire Release can take the form of ash clouds that linger in the air, burning and blinding those caught in it, or be erected as a s.h.i.+eld, burning away anything that tries to cross it."

"Less commonly, Fire Release encompa.s.ses using flames from other sources, such as exploding tags, with users focusing the explosions against opponents."

"You had already learnt how to manipulate fire by gathering Psi energy spheres. With a certain set of concentration and skills set, you may be able to turn into an offensive weapon against your a.s.sailants."

"We can try this in the open area at my place, we have a specific training ground so you could try all the 12 hand seals, making each one of them as a single weapon."

I nodded in agreement and tried the hand seal for myself. It was a little hard at first as my knuckles were pushed in against the palm with my forefingers and thumbs shaped like a gun totting 'James Bond' if one looked from the side.

I held the hand seal in front of me and concentrated on it and I could feel the Psi energy ball was quickly generating speed and intensity. I cooled it off and slowly the generated Psi energy ball dissipated. I explained this to the Monk and he was surprised that I could attain such skill in such a short practise.

He then showed me another hand seal which was called a Zai or The Ring Of The Sun. This was made by shaping a triangle with the thumbs and forefingers with the rest of the palm facing outwards. This method is to control short bursts of Psi energy spheres that could be ejected simultaneously once every 3 seconds without losing internal strength.

I was swayed with enthusiasm and wanted to try them out and see how long it would last and the intensity of each energy sphere. I remembered that each color sphere means different intensity as well as concentration levels.

"Benevolent Monk, I am greatly pleased you had taught me the way. Can I use this spheres to heal rather than to cause harm to ent.i.ties or other humans?"

"Chosen One, we have yet to try out, haven't we? Time will prevail and be patience..."
