After noticing the face of his Sensei, and herd the kind words he had, Nikodo was quite happy. As soon as Souji started talking about his own thoughts about Shinobi, Nikodo crossed his arms and started listening. Souji was thinking roughly the same thing, but when souji's voice started to change Nikodo was a little confused. As soon as Souji asked about protecting Esdese, Nikodo knew that he had gotten something wrong. But then the question came, that Nikodo was first thinking about.
"Imagine... if Aigis and I are ordered to kill you both as our mission... are you prepared to kill your teachers? To protect the one you love, Esdese... will you strike me down? Or will my own objective and fighting spirit overwhelm you?"
This question hit Nikodo quite hard. Not so far before he was thinking about being enemies with his Senseis but what Souji said made Nikodo think. He knew shinobi must do everything to protect the people they love and what they care for. Even though Nikodo didn't have feelings for Esdese, she did consider her a comrade and he would gladly fight for her. But giving the life in line? Seeing how Souji and Aigis were a lot stronger, but still they were his Senseis, even after a short time of meeting, would Nikodo be able to do that.
Thousand of questions were around him, and he was simply to overwhelmed by them and he shouted it out.
If you 2 were to attack with Full killing intent, I would reply to the fight but not the same way. First thing I would take care of are my comrades, I would put my own life in line for them to escape, second would be you. I will just dodge most attacks and try to render them useless one after the other. And if I burn myself down and die doing that, not a problem. I would better be slaughtered by a friend then slaughter him back for just the Shinobi code. But still the only thing I can't accept is messing with the people I love. If you would lay a finger on any one of them, I shall reply at full force. Be it a friend, a very close friend, my teacher or even my student. If someone stands in the way of my family having a good life, I would hesitate to strike them down!!!
After uttering those words Nikodo saw that he had built up quite some tension around him, so he started scratching the back of his head and laughing. Sorry, I think I have the same character and problem as you Souji, I can really relate to you!
After finishing everything up Nikodo was handed the piece of chakra paper. He was already familiar with it, since his water training with Dean Winchester. He knew that what he must do is charge his chakra into the peace of paper, and for lightning the paper must wrinkle. After he got the piece of paper in his hands, Aigis also requested him to talk about Shape Manipulation.
So Nikodo directly after receiving the answer started talking directly, after training that much he was already familiar with nearly everything. So he started talking with a clear voice about the shape manipulation.
So the shape manipulation is one of the most important steps in creating a Ninjutsu. With shape manipulation we understand, the manipulation of chakra, so changing the shape, flow and direction in order to transform jutsu that already exist or create entire new ones. Which are all determined in size, range, and the overall purpose. By allowing your chakra to flow to a specific point of the space you can, at will, start creating an imaginary shape that the chakra will later fill up. You can make the flow of chakra faster and slower depending on the kind of jutsu you will use and you can adjust the size by depending on the density of chakra and the amount of it.
After giving the answer, Nikodo lifted the hand where the Chakra paper was present. Nikodo closed his eyes and started thinking about the concept of lightning. He started thinking of the lightning itself. The whole place around Nikodo seemed quite and peace. He was thinking of the lightning during the nights, of the light shape that forms for a brief second in the sky and keeps spreading in a shape unique everytime, which is later followed by the loud Noise of thunder, which claps hard in the background. After that he staretd focusing that concentrated chakra inside the paper. The moment the chakra flew inside the paper. Nikodo opened his eyes, and what to see the paper wrinkled, so Nikodo lighted the hand with the paper high and showed it to Aigis...I did it!!!
And one more thing, I am not with Esdese, she is a very close friend, but not as you guys think. She is mainly my reasons for therapy...
