“Much, much better,” Sora replied. “Your new nose suits your face perfectly.” Thanks, Colm signed back, smiling. Now that he had finished the external portion of his nose, it was time for his to work on the hard part. Creating a working respiratory system would be difficult, but Colm’s recent successes with Kedoin jutsus were encouraging.
Colm took long steady breaths, focusing all of his attention on his regular breathing. Once he was calm and relaxed, he focused on tapping into his innate Kedoin abilities. Nothing happened right away, but that was to be expected. Colm continued to meditate and block out any internal or external distractions. Several minutes passed as Colm continued to meditate.
After a while, he was able to connect with his dormant Kedoin clan power. He focused on making that connection stronger so he wouldn’t lose it in the middle of performing the Warped Visage: Growth of nose technique. Once Colm thought he had a firm grasp on his Kedoin bloodlimit, he began gathering chakra in his torso. The respiratory system was spread out over a large area of the body. Because of this, Colm had to gather extra chakra to ensure that he covered everything.
When Colm thought that he had gathered enough chakra, he commanded his cells to start dividing. Once he had a substantial number of cells he used his Kedoin power to make his cells start organizing and forming the different parts of the respiratory system. Although he didn’t know exactly what was happening, Colm could feel the changes taking place inside his body. New tissue, bone, and cartilage formed the outline of his new respiratory tract. Colm felt a tingling sensation as his cells moved around and rearranged themselves.
When his cells stopped moving and the tingling sensation vanished, Colm knew the jutsu was complete. The next step was to test the results of his first attempt. Completing this jutsu properly meant that Colm would be able to do two new things: smell and breathe with his lungs instead of through his skin. Colm wasn’t exactly sure what smelling felt like. Sora had explained that it was kind of like tasting, and that he would know when he was able to do it.
Being able to breathe properly meant that Colm could speak and play instruments like the flute. Colm wasn’t able to “taste” anything with his nose, so he assumed that his sense of smell wasn’t fully developed yet. He decided to try talking next. His voice came out raspy, kind of like a whisper. It didn’t sound anything like Sora when he talked.
Colm hadn’t expected to be able to create a fully functional respiratory system on his first try, so he wasn’t discouraged by his results. His ability to breathe seemed to be more developed than his sense of smell, so Colm decide to only focus on breathing with his lungs on his next attempt. Colm resumed meditating so he could tap into his Kedoin power. Once he was able to harness the power of his Kedoin blood, Colm began gathering chakra. Instead of just gathering chakra in his torso, Colm made sure to gather chakra in his throat, near the area where his voice box should be located.
After he had gathered enough chakra, Colm commanded his cells to start dividing and organizing. Once again, he felt a tingling sensation as his cells began to move. There wasn’t quite as much movement as there had been on his first attempt. Colm thought this was probably because he had already created the basic infrastructure of his respiratory system. Now he only needed to make small changes in order for it to work properly.
When his cells had stopped moving, Colm tried speaking again. “How do I sound?” he asked Sora. Laughing, Sora said, “You sound exactly like me. If you keep practicing, you make your voice sound however you want it to.” Colm wasn’t too concerned with changing the way he sounded at the moment. Right now, he was more interested in being able to smell.
