It's been a month since I started living with the Ōtsutsukis in the land of ancestors. Indra has finally found a way to direct chakra through hand seals. When I asked him why he was trying to do that he said "Well I can't use chakra like my father, so I have to find my way". Honestly speaking, Indra is a genius among geniuses. His control over chakra is nigh perfect. He doesn't waste Chakra, always using the barest minimum in his every technique.

His Chakra affinities are fire and lightning according to the anime. I've seen him use an imitation of Lightening release: One thousand birds{Raiton: Chidori} or more like Chidori was imitated from it. At first, it was a small spark of fire that was used in household chores.

It was interesting at first but I knew soon they will still ignore this aspect of Ninshu until later on in the future.

Anyway, back to the issue at hand. I was taken care of by Ashura after we left his father. I got a change of clothes, I also got room to stay in.

I wondered why I was allowed to stay in the main house, after all, I wasn't the only kid in the village. I guess he does know I am an orphan after all even if he didn't ask.

The next day early in the morning, I was woken up by a hyperactive Ashura, after a bit of freshening up according to their standard, we ate a very sumptuous meal before I was led to where we will be having a class about Ninshu and later on meditations.

I have got to say Hagoromo is wise and kind-hearted in his way of life through knowing the future I kind of find this Ninshu a little impossible down the line.

Ninshu is the religion and the peaceful way of life that teaches us how to understand and teach the mystery of the chakra. The teachings of ninshū were meant to give people a better understanding of themselves, as well as others, and lead the world into an era of peace.

Hagoromo exemplified his teachings by distributing chakra meant to "connect" people's spiritual energies with one another. It would allow people to understand each other without communication and pray for one another's safety.

I took in everything that was thought like a sponge because I know more about chakra than most people in this world. I also know that soon Indra, under the manipulation of black Zetsu will be the first to weaponize this teaching.

Others will follow in his footsteps, using chakra to connect their inner spiritual and physical energies instead of each other. Hagoromo believed that no one's chakra should be so much greater than any other. If the power is accumulated in one person, then it increases the possibility that the person will become arrogant and desire even greater power. In the end, they ended up using their chakra in battle, just as Hagoromo's mother Kaguya did.

Due to my knowledge about the most type of energy in the anime multiverse such as Mana, magicules, ki, Qi, chi, Hamon, and the energy cultivator use, I know the principle of how they work.

I know full well most of these energies have to do with both spiritual energy and physical energy. For example 'Chi' is used in Avatar and most Martial arts anime has to do with the art of meditation, and that is something that also applies to chakra. So meditation is a must for me.

In Avatar it is said that there are seven chakra points you'll be able to live for several years longer than a normal human and help them achieve different special abilities like Pathik in Avatar who has chi sensing and can also sense emotions. This is also achievable using chakra, but it's also not achievable in the nearest future.

From my vast knowledge, the only thing that can help me live for a long time should be natural energy, but even The Sage of Six Paths' physical body still died in the end even though his soul remained, that's not the immortality I want.

The next best thing should be Qi cultivation, but even that is impossible in this world as it's natural energy that is being used. But come to think of it, cultivation is all about taking in the energy of the world and storing it in your dantian or in this world, your chakra is being stored in the same place but referred to as chakra pathways.

Chakra is good and all but it can't do more than it's supposed to do. It's all about your spiritual energy and physical energy. So when one ceases to function properly, chakra stops being generated. At most, with the meditation training, I can say that my mind won't fail me first, so it'll be the physical body I need to work on.

There are multiple ways to train the body, but there need to be able to take my body to the peak without backlashes down the line. The only option should be the eight inner gates that Might Gai used, but even that is dangerous and there is no guarantee that it'll give me the immortal body I want.

Another should be taking the cultivation route, Lin Ming, in the novel Martial World used. And that is using natural energy to open my body's eight inner gates {Nine in the novel. The Gate of life and death is like two gates in one}

Taking the cultivation route, I'd have to find a way to refine the natural energy in such a way that it forms a dantian in my body so that I'd be self-sustained as far as there's energy in the work. The problem remains with the technique to be used. I can't use any of the sacred ground methods cause they cause physical changes to my body and give me their physical characteristics as well special abilities like sensory to toads, flexibility to snakes and poison, and healing to slugs.

I may be greedy to want them all but it is what it is. I can't give up on a path to the immortality I desire, but I can proudly say that I won't do anything bad along the way.

Another issue along the way is bloodline. No matter how strong I become, I will never be able to fight on par with the likes of Hagoromo and Kaguya on equal ground due to reasons we all know. One reason is that Kaguya is practically the world as it is now. She ate the fruit of this world, so saying it in a cultivator's words, she ate the will of this world. So as long as this world exists she's unbeatable. The same could be said for Hagoromo, he was the Juubi's container for a while so that may also be the reason why his soul didn't pass on even after death.

Second is the ability of their bloodline. Not to mention the already known ability of the Sharingan and Byakugan in their base form, the Mangekyou Sharingan automatically gives them two abilities in which one is always related to time and space. Further evolution of both eyes gives the Rinnegan and Tenseigan the ability of God so to say. But the most important is that it grants them access to a concept they are used to. In cultivators' words A Dao. And the constant concept in all of them is Space and Samsara {Life and death}. All Rinnegan and possibly Tenseigan can resurrect one from the dead.

And I don't think that without a bloodline, I can stand against the likes of those. Even Naruto and Sasuke had to rely on their latent reincarnation chakra to manage and defeat{Seal} Kaguya. She can travel dimensions. I doubt she can be defeated if she had a little bit of combat training. She is someone who went from zero to a hundred in a single leap so I doubt she ever trained in her entire life.

So the issue of bloodline will have to be put on my to-do list.

Don't know if I should take both Indra and Ashura's blood now or wait for them to actually reach their full potential and then try taking it then. Or should I go for the OG Sage of Six Paths?

Meh. Thoughts for later. Right now I should focus more on my physical exercise and spiritual training, that is meditation and along the way unlock my seven spiritual chakra Gates.
