Tales of Shinobi and Ninjutsu 5 A Second Chance

A spark of green light flickers within his eye, eye lids half raised, and barely concious, as it underwent a transformation.

The pupil dilated, quickly expanding and rapidly shrinking, replaced with gold hexagon shape patterns.

The colour of his eye became semi blended, a mixture of blue and green, resembling the planet earth itself.

Aotsuki successfully awakened the Konchu Emperor's Eyes. As he felt a new kind of chakra emanates from his eyes, giving off an aura of profoundness, before quickly dissipating.

Aotsuki's eyes then returned back to normal, not before leaving behind the word 'Setsuzoku' in kanji, engraved within his pupil, invisible to the naked eye, but the key to activating his Kekkei Genkai inheritance, which meant connection.

His conciousness returns, as his eyes snapped wide open, revealing a glint of excitement.

Traces of joy flashed across his face, Aotsuki grins, deep down he felt a sense of accomplishment and pride. For being able to awaken his three chakra burners, all on his first try, with a single spare chakra pill into storage. How lucky was he?

He looked around himself, and noticed that the majority are still meditating, two thirds of the whole class haven't fully awakened their chakra burners yet.

He was amongst the lucky few that past the assignment on the first try, with the shortest duration, despite the long cultivating method.

It was due to their lack of willpower, easily distracted, and eagerness to hurriedly complete the assignment, which disrupt their flow of concentration over their chakra control.

A failed attempt would result in a significant chakra loss, a third of the energy in storage, dissipating into the surrounding body, flesh, absorbed by the bone, or just plainly get expelled outside the body.

Truly a waste of a good quality chakra pill, if I do say so myself.

Aotsuki Bakohata was the sixth one to complete the assignment, gaining full marks on the work assignment, and recognition from the teacher.

Aotsuki was quite curious about his peers. He carefully looked around, observing the other students.

"So he was the first one to complete the assignment... Hoshigake Ishimaru." Aotsuki quietly said to himself.

He looked towards his left. A few seats away from him, an interesting individual with special needs, enters his line of sight. Laid back in his seat, with a blindfold headband covering his eye, silvery-white long strands of hair covering his bangs.

Whenever his headband is raised, revealing his ashed grey eyes, an seemingly overbearing pressure is released from his body.

It is assumed to be the caused of the overbearing pressure, an unique awakened kekkei genkai only exclusive to him. As a result, he has to cover his eyes, until he has complete control over his powers.

Second place was Shion Miyasaki. Although her appearance is only eleven-twelve years old, around the dame age as everyone here.

She already had a slender physique, and elegant look, that would attract any guy, with the nice kind girl look; silky brown hair pouring down to her waist, and emerald green eyes.

The third contender is a young lad that goes by the name of Shizuki Miyame, completely ordinary looking, black hair, brown eyes, wearing circular glasses, giving off the aura of a Scholar, a semi intelligent radiance radiating from his gaze.

"I've finished the assignment way earlier than usual. I now have so much free time, I wonder what I should do..."

Aotsuki lay back on his seat, resting his head on the back rows table, staring at the ceiling. It was then he felt a disturbance, as he seemingly looks towards Furuta's direction.

An overbearing chakra pressure is therefore released from his body, so pure and densely concentrated that it becomes visible to the naked, as blue flame enveloped the entirety of his body.

This signifies that he accomplished the main objective, and finally awakened his three chakra burners, successfully entering the realms of Shinobi masters.

But this doesn't end just yet, as the chakra exuding from his body, rapidly began to stabilize. It's momentum changes.

The volume of chakra that is loss in the procedure, is then cut down by half. The other remaining half went some where else, gushing right into his eye sockets, as it underwent an unbelievable transformation.

Furuta's eyes swung open, as bulging veins appeared beneath his eye region. A hue of semi transparent white smoke, seeped out of his eye sockets.

His eyes rapidly began to change colour, the pupil expand, greatly encompassing the whole iris, covering it in complete blackness. Before a spark of light abruptedly sprung into existence, a white dot at the center of his pupil, it slowly began to gain attractions, increasing size and diameter, until it forms a spherical full moon, with a smaller spherical moon inside.

The outer layer spherical moon is silver grey in colour, while the inner spherical moon is completely white in colour, illuminating greatly in the dark.

Furuta gently breathes a sigh of relief, as his chakra pressure subsided, returning back to normal.

The moon revolving eye deactivated, the bulging veins beneath his eyes dissappears, but his eyes doesn't change back, which meant that the moon revolving eye (Tsuki-Kaiten) permanently altered his physical appearance, and changes the physical structure of his eyes.

"I've finally done it. I've managed to opened up all of my chakra burners. It was such a tedious task..." Furuta said so quietly to himself, unaware of people's gaze around him.

"So the kid is from one of the four major clans, the Tsukimi Clan. This will certainly be interesting." Minasuki Sensei said so, with a hint of excitement in her tone, as she curled her lips, giving a charming alluring smile.

"So you've finally done it, congratulations." Aotsuki placed his hand on Furuta's shoulder, and congratulated him, speaking words of praise on his successful advancement.

This completely surprised him, caught him off guard, as he jumps back in fright.

He screamed, "Don't do that! Suddenly appearing out of nowhere... wait, did you already opened your chakra burners."

"Yep." Aotsuki lightly replied.

Aotsuki Bakohata and Furuta Tsukimi continued their conversation onward, to pass the time, as they wait for their classmates to accomplish this task.

It may seem easy enough to do, but the task is extremely difficult, it's like walking across a running river.

The running water is like chakra, it possess a will or current of its own, which makes it difficult to control. Though you may be able to change the direction of way the current will flow, but you can't easily change the momentum of the current without a proper specialised apparatus.

"God damn it! I was so close to opening up my last and final chakra burner, but the amount of chakra I have left is not enough. If only I have more of those chakra pills. What luck..."

Hideo screamed from the top of his lungs, wailing his hands, and grunting in annoyance, as he was just about to reach the pinnacle of breaking through.

He lacks the necessary amount of chakra to make the final jump, opening his last chakra burner. What a bummer?

Aotsuki and Furuta looked at the disheartened figure of Hideo, as he lied slumped down on the table, covering his face with his arms, all up and depressed.

"I'm sure you will have a second chance. You just need to practice a little more, with a final little push. You could totally make it..." Furuta comfort him, reassuring Hideo that there is still time, though he may fall behind the rest of his classmate in becoming a Shinobi, but he will eventually get there.

Hideo asked, "You mean it..."

"Yeah.", and Furuta reassured him.

"Umph... guys!" Aotsuki quickly intervenes, as the both of them, then looks at Aotsuki in interest.

They both said, 'What', at the same time.

"I've got a spare chakra pill in storage that I haven't used. You could use that to break through to the initial trainee stage." Aotsuki said so with confidence, and proceeded to hand over a bottle, containing the last chakra pill to Hideo.

"Thank you so much. You are like a brother to me, you know that." Hideo jumps up in excitement, and then proceeded to hug Aotsuki tightly, thanking him.
