Basic Chakra Control: Deviation, Souji, Gin-San

[El Alucard]

Alright so before you can begin to diagnose, you're going to need to learn how to control you chakra so as to not hurt yourselves or your patients. Tell me, what do you understand from the term chakra control?

 

[Souji]

As I understand it, chakra control is using the precise amount of chakra to fuel techniques/ninjutsu/etc. A shinobi that uses too much chakra would waste it and not be able to control the created jutsus to an extent, and a shinobi that uses too little wouldn't be able to perform it properly, or it wouldn't be able to sustain itself (if it's of that type).

In a medical shinobi context, this is especially important when a med-nin needs to work with incredible precision/accuracy to be able to handle injuries, from minor to life-threatening. Too much chakra could aggravate a wound and make it worse, and too little might not be able to heal it properly.

For diagnosis purposes, could we say that too much chakra may cause an over-diagnosis, and too little an underestimation of the injuries?

Alright so before you can begin to diagnose, you're going to need to learn how to control you chakra so as to not hurt yourselves or your patients. Tell me, what do you understand from the term chakra control?

From my perspective, chakra control is just that: Control. From what I have observed, chakra is tied to your lifeforce in that once it is depleted you are dead. Chakra control is all about finding balance in what fits the situation.

For example, in a battle I have two opponents. Let's assume one is weaker than the other in terms of resistance due to their training and difference in rank. It would not make sense to use more force on the weaker target nor would using a weaker force on the stronger target. Tactfully, I would use weaker force on the weaker target to bring him down to where I want him to be whereas taking down the stronger target will require more effort as he is trained better. What further increases the success of my efforts is in paying attention to details that could help me use the right kind of force in order to use less chakra.

Having said that, when you apply that to medical ninjutsu, there are some tasks that will require you to either give more force or less force. How you balance that will depend on your focus and experience that comes from practice. I must note that there are some techniques that require a constant use of chakra like the mystical palm technique. With good training, a mednin should be able to appropriate a sufficient amount of chakra while also addressing the needs of the situation.

All in all, skipping all my rambling, chakra control is about one's ability to utilize their chakra wisely based on the situation to bring about a desired outcome. I cannot express this enough but possessing such a trait only comes from experience and a higher intelligence. You can't expect a pig with 100 chakra to use 5 to bring down the Sage of the Six Paths. But alas, stranger things have happened so do with that what you will.

Ps. I like the points Souji brings up in his post.

What you need to remember here is that, you are sending your chakra into your patient to retrieve information you need from them. This from what I understand means that your chakra would run through their chakra patway system and from there detect any abnormalities within the entire body before returning to you with the information so that you as a medical ninja may know how to fix the problem within your patient. Too much chakra and you might disrupt the patients flow of chakra causing for certain organs and or body parts not to work how they are supposed to and as such risking more damage and or harm to you patient. Too little chakra and you wont be able to pick up any or even all the abnormalities occurring in your patients body. Think of it this way, when you go for an MRI (say for your brain) they inject you with Gadolinium contrast media (Gadolinium is a paramagnetic metal ion that moves differently within a magnetic field. When used during an MRI, it may make certain tissues, abnormalities, or diseases more clearly visible.) #CE Idea lol #Serious though if you're going to make something out of this you better teach me. #Don't tell nathan, so it's basically a dye or ink if you will. Now think of your chakra as this ink which you inject into you patients body and you as an MRI scanner. Using too little of this 'dye' will prove to be quite useless as the scanner won't be able to make out a clear picture of the brain and as such you won't know what's wrong with your patient, and using too much of this ink can cause hyper-intensity of the GP (globus pallidus) which can cause liver dysfunction and other possible dysfunctions in the body (You don't need to know all this i'm just using real life to reference). Nonetheless it's the same with the chakra, too much of it won't give an over-diagnosis rather you risk harming the patient and for too little chakra, you might not get enough information out of it.

Alright so it, doesn't seem like Gin-san is going to post anytime soon and you guys are very much behind so we can proceed, he'll catch up when he's back.

Here's a little note on what chakra control is.

Chakra Control is the ability to consciously control all aspects of your chakra flow. Chakra Control is the ability a ninja has to be aware of his chakra, "move" it in given amounts in specific ways throughout his chakra system and release it through specific areas of his chakra system. Its also the ability to control different characteristics on your chakra and keep them in check.

"As a Medical Ninja you'll refine your chakra control to the out-most level one can without needing to learning Yin/Yang Release. In a battle, this won't signify much. In the Manga/Anime, great chakra control enables you to use advanced techniques, do hand seals faster and to tightly string together more techniques. In NB RPG, all of those would break the time frame so is more a cosmetic reference than anything.So to start, please sit with your legs crossed and do your preferred handseal for meditation. I want you to start by feeling your chakra and describing to me what you feel."

 

[Souji]

(welp, I forgot to reply to this D: )

*Souji sits down cross-legged and forms a Ram handseal, getting ready to meditate*

My chakra feels like a river, flowing through my body like a current. It's moving at a constant speed, but also placid, because it hasn't been disturbed in any notable way. Yet.

Solas quietly assumes the instructed position. He closes his eyes and begins to concentrate. He begins by clearing his mind and focusing on his heartbeat. As it pulses, he focuses on his chakra network and imagines it flowing like a river. He imagines as it rises and falls...rises and falls. He feels it coursing throughout his entire body - a life-giving stream. Through careful concentration he plays with it, emanating chakra from himself then ceasing and then repeating. He asserts his control over it and becoming familiar with its feeling. He speaks thoughtfully to his teacher.

"It feels like a flow. By tuning into it, I can somehow feel it rise and fall. My breathing seems to affect it to some degree as well. I can't really say how I feel it but if I give it a familiar comparison it seems to describe it accurately or at least that is what I think. I've noticed in the past that my emotions help determine its effect too. If I feel particularly angry it seems to become more aggressive or forceful. But if I feel calm...collected...at peace, it seems to be stable and precise. If I feel happy it seems to give a positive effect as well though I haven't really delved much into it.

Am I wrong in my analysis?"

 

[Gin-San]

My apologies for being so late, i tend to get pretty caught up on my masters and I forget to check on here. Can someone please shoot me a VM once I need to reply?

The feeling is that of feeling your pulse throughout your body. The calmer you become, the easier it is to feel your pulse. In this case, we as ninja have learned to control our chakra "pulse" in order to develop techniques. The way to have greater control is to quantify it, to feel the pulse everywhere in your body and in very specific sections. To be completely neutral, to understand that flow can be restructured and remolded to fit any scenario.

My pleasure. <3

I tend to forget we are a team from time to time so my apologies.

 

[El Alucard]

"Good stuff from all off you."

"Now then, we can finally begin. I'm sorry in advance Solas, this is most definitely going to hurt you more that it does me"

*Teleports behind Solas with an old rusted kunai and stabs the back of his shoulder.* ( I'm not going to tell you any details, this because I want you guys to be creative and think up how bad the injury really is. Try and give me good details okay? Cool.)

"Alright Minato, you're up. Close your eyes and tell me the depth and exact location of the wound. Souji i would like you to close your eyes as well but you will tell me whether there are any remnants of the Kunai in the wound (say some little shards of metal) and if there are any, tell me how many and where in the wound 3 of them are located."

 

[Souji]

Ouch. Gonna need a tetanus shot for that ;_;

*closes eyes and does chakra control exercise for diagnosis purposes*

Well... just feeling it out... I can tell there are rusty pieces of metal inside Solas. They're on the surface of the wound, and some are within the stab site as well. It feels like some have entered the ruptured blood vessels, and others are lodged in the muscles.

 

[El Alucard]

Alright, are there any more questions?

*heals solas*

 

[Souji]

None, none at all.

Just to be on the safe side, did I miss anything crucial yet regarding my input? Wanted to make sure you all weren't waiting on me or anything like that. If so, my apologies.

Thanks in advance. <3

No you didn't miss anything crucial, you can read the thread again to make sure if you want. Anyhow doesn't seem like Gin is with us anymore so I'll just continue with you two. The next class will be up shortly.
