Flame Training and Chakra Control [P]

Her breathing exercises, manipulation exercises, limiting exercises, and water walking exercises completed 75% or so of her overall training thus far. However, she was not done just yet. The rest of her plan consisted of more breathing exercises for at least ten to twenty more minutes, some more stretching and yoga techniques, some beast form training, then a casual walk home to ease the body. She could only imagine what the beast portion would be like now or at least what she could turn into. She was a young child when the seal was apparently placed on her so she had no idea what she could turn into just yet, only that her eyes, teeth, and nails were easily manipulated. She remembered appearing in front of Mitsuhide with all three of those minor changes. It was the reason the two started to talk more.

Before her mind could wonder from training to Mitsu and Shi, Nasa focused once more. Next on her list was more breathing exercises so this was precisely what we did. She had taken a seat in the soft grass at the base of the boulder and began. In four, our four, in four, out four. She breathed like this, in seconds, for a good five minutes before her mind had become stable and clear of all the distractions around her. She was getting a lot done these past few days and was pleased at the result. She needed to rush a bit though; time was money and didn’t pay the rent. The thoughts regarding this though were not on her mind at the moment. Slow and easy was the objective of the breathing exercises aside from practicing with manipulating her internal chakra. Luckily this was the goal she achieved as well.

A good half hour passed before Nasamea was finished with her meditation. She had cleared her mind yet again and could feel the chakra within her clear as ever. She had practiced manipulating it from within again and was able to grasp a good control of her reserve and how much it took to form what she needed to. She wasn’t perfect at it just yet and it would probably take longer to acquire the higher degree of control but eventually she would reach there. For now she believed she was doing splendidly well considering she had improved since her last practice an hour ago. Of course, now came time for her next item of business: stretches and yoga.

Nasamea started off with a few basic yoga techniques, such as the mountain pose and what, before she did the usual static stretching. The stretch and yoga portion of her training took roughly twenty minutes to fulfill; ten minutes longer than what she originally was doing. Seeing as how her body was about to stretch from what it wasn’t used to she figured stretching beforehand would be a good idea. Would this transformation process hurt? Would she barely feel a tingle? She was kind of worried about it. The thought of her body stretching and reconfiguring itself was enough to cause her to shiver; but she needed to do this.

Her awareness was heightened even more now as she tune her ears into her surroundings and listened. She may have arrived before dawn but after doing all that practice training it was now roughly midday. Time sure flew when one was training. Considering it was midday, Nasa knew she had to be extra careful of any humans just happening to be strolling through the area. Had they seen her she may need to resort to knock out measures unless she disappeared quick enough.

Not wishing to dwell to long on this though, since the day wasn’t getting any younger, Nasa began to focus within herself again. She couldn’t quite imagine what her beast form looked like but knew that by focusing on the seal she could begin to release the form. She had to remain in control of her chakra and the form to do so though for the form may be too great to handle. She just wasn’t about to take any chances yet. So for now she would work on focusing on the basic eyes, teeth, and nails like she could always do.

The chakra flowed out rather swiftly as she summoned it up and closed her eyes. She formed no hand seals for this and was actually watching her hands; both held out before her. She could already feel the changes happening aside from seeing them. Her nails started to grow sharper until they were fine points. After this was done she then touched her teeth. They were all sharp and pointed like that of a vicious carnivore. She smirked a bit and walked over to the water to actually see her eyes as well. The same light gray color had pushed out the amber, making her hues appear softer. When she put on an angry face and felt a sense of inner fury they sharpened like cats’ pupils and appeared rather violent; making her chuckle a bit.

Nasamea wasn't satisfied with a few cosmetic changes and would soon grow anxious on pressing her transformation further. She toned down the E rank chakra built up around her eyes and nails before circulating it towards her teeth. These soon changed nearly as quickly as her other parts had and now came a new step. When the change was released, the main purpose just to see whether or not she could do it, Nasa soon shifted the chakra to surrounding her left arm. Rather than risking damage to her dominant arm she felt using her left was necessary to beginning the first step of her later overall transformation. She could feel the burning chakra of the ravaging beast rise up within her soul before it casted the sensation to her arm.

Her skin soon felt a bit hot as it turned darker from the rise of blood. The skin curling sound of bones cracking then soon took place as she watched her fingers become consumed by a thick hide of skin and grow into that of a claw. Her nails grew yet again, their paleness becoming black as they sharpened into that of a birds talon and thickened. Starting from her shoulder down she could not only feel her bones becoming manipulated but her muscles increasing in strength. It were nearly as though something else was controlling this arm; something typically seen in that of a horror movie. Nasamea herself was a bit amazed by her own ability while she watched; the black markings of the seal soon settling into her skin and appearing as though they had been tattoo'd on.

When this was all said and done Nasamea finally witnessed a bit of her inner beast form. It was only an arm but the appearance of the thick hide and markings only caused her inspiration to grow stronger intensify. She needed to rank up, train, and become that powerful creature she was born to be no matter what stood before her path.

Nasamea finished her beat segment of the training after she refocused chakra back into her arm and had everything revert back to normal. One thing that was interesting about the transformation was that due to her chakra control she was able to manipulate her body like this without entirely hurting it. Sure, she felt decent amounts of unbearable pain because her body had been stretching, but it was nothing compared to what she originally thought. She came to the assumption as well that over time this pain would fade due to a built up immunity. This, of course, would take practice though.

After the run with the beast inside she could feel her overall strength increased. Most of it had to with the mental thoughts that subconsciously told her she had grown. Activating and utilizing the beast form was a huge step to unlocking her true power in her book so this run through had surely been amazing to her. Due to her using this though, aside from various other chakra training moves through the day, Nasa felt ready to head home to rest. She had spent her entire day practicing with her chakra and felt a lot better but also tired. A day's rest would easily cure this though.

Nasa was quick to gather her cloak and put it on before heading home. She would walk until she reached the line between the wilderness and the city itself. From there she would lightly jog back to her house using the rooftops of the neighboring buildings. The purpose was to work out her body to make sure the transformation had knocked anything out of whack. Also, so she could work on better controlling her breathing patterns when running.

Upon returning home she would stretch lightly before slinking into the bathtub. Afterwards she would prepare some mint tea and relax on the sofa to catch up on some relaxation. She had spent the entire day training, her surroundings moving from darkness to daylight and back once more. Her internal clock read that it was about 6pm or so right now; a good day well spent. Tomorrow she would spend most of her day resting with the occasional chakra workout through mediation then the day after that she would hit the training grounds once more to practice the beast form some more. This sort of pattern would continue for the rest of the week until she was sure she had a handle on her form and the chakra control issue. One week of strictly training was all she had in her agenda; aside from the occasional hunt of course...
