''I prefer the masculine gender, should I choose. <.<'' Amidmaru protested as Cat made her dubious statement.
''Now you talk...'' Amaimon sighed in distress, but alas, straigtened up again.
''Now that you're getting more adapt to the feeling, the awareness, and overall sensing capabilities, allow me to capitalize on the fact that what you're sensing is purely spiritual energy. This will technically enable you to sense all sentient being with a spiritual sort of energy. Chakra is the product of impure spiritual energy, thus this sort of sensing does not allow for Chakra sensing, but solely on the spiritual aspect.
A companion is something you find along the way, a Genki which can occur tame, or have gained a tasting for your chakra signature. If any of you've heard of Kisame Hoshigaki *Waves bingo book around.* His sentient sword found a taste of his chakra, and thus became entrusted to him. Yes, Genki feed on chakra, but to precise, it's solely the spiritual aspect of the chakra, while the Genki would simply decompose of the physical energy.''
He held a brief pause.
''Genki are oft persuaded through the offering of chakra, to do our bidding. Now, this sacrifice if you would, that we make, sometimes demands more than so. That you will have to experience yourself later on.'' Tihihi O^O
''But for now, before we expand on the ultilization of Ethereal energy, we will have to pratice, and make perfection of your emotions. Emotions is a thing that we, the Katsu, have to be masters of. It is essential for Genki persuasion. Genki will not solely depend on your chakra disposal, but also your conviction, which we emphasis on heavily. When we're done you will be able to feel pain, agony, love, anxiety, but all and each at your own volition.''
Amaimon spread out his arms, for each of you to remain in your lotus positioning.
''A wise man once told me; "We do not learn from experience, we learn from reflecting on experience." It essential to reflect, know, and feel yourself. Why should someone be influenced by you, and your acts? What is the extra value that you could provide, once they are? And last, why would you be influenced by yourself?
Does it seem confusing? Well, it's important to be withstanding, things that help building conviction help you understand yourself, and why you do certain actions. Allow me to explain; Why would somebody be influenced by me? Well, I have their best interest at heart. Then they may ask why, and I proceed; I can relate to be put on the spot, where to not know how to handle the moment. They may ask how, and I proceed; As I too, have tried things outside of my safezone, where I would much rather be, and not loose face.
Building a conviction means to know your fears, your weakness and strengths. Once you know them, indulge them and remove their cloudings from your mind and soul. Throw them in the bin, you know when you will have to feel a certain emotion, but you also know when to hold it back. The further you ask yourself for answers, the deeper you reach for the core and thus will reach your inner conviction. Mind you, to each our own.''
With that, Amaimon snapped his fingers, and Amidamaru asked if it was time. The Voice nodded in approval, and a sack came forth in a plume of smoke. It hit the ground and the tied knot atop went loose and rations fell onto the ground.
''This excercise requires time. I'll be resting at Wolf's Toenail.'' Amaimon appointed an opening in the mountain's foot which went deep inside the mountain. His cape carrying the sigil of the Katsuryoku - The everlasting knot swayed in the wind as he turned. Muffled sounds of how Amidamaru was being awkward was heard before the noises became too distant to be heard.
