So when he was confident that the chakra had returned to its normal state, calm and unaffected by the trial of pain, Emi told her he was ready. He closed his eyes to be able to get a better feeling of his chakra system and also be able to plan the coming steps better. Since he had very little experience to actually get into the state needed to absorb the pain for any uses, he firstly focused on translating that part for himself. Just as it had been for the woman, the description was almost impossible to put in words, but as he retrieved more pain he had to accept hers. The chakra he had was still the same, it was just getting more fleshed out and it had more potential, which made him wonder if his body had been changed to do that itself or if the goddess actually send the potential. Even though he thought that it was his body, he secretly hoped that the goddess actually were there and wanted to influence him.

But then an idea came to him, if the goddess actually were giving him that ability, then she would be able to allow for him to choose not to use it all the time. That made him wonder if he could just not allow the pressure to increase in the first place, instead of being forced to use or loose it. But as he quickly was getting closer to his capacity Emi had to wait for that kind of mastery as he had to expel some chakra quickly. As he had quite a good chakra control and knew how to use it for several different things, Emi used the same kind of technique to send out chakra for his aura to allow the chakra to escape. That instantly made the pressure go down rapidly, making him more relaxed and the woman really surprised as he hadn't expected him to get it that quickly. But as he finally had reached a proper point again, he could focus more on how to do it the way he wanted to.

So whenever he got hit, Emi tried to analyze everything that happened with his body the brief moment the pain hit in. It was extremely difficult and he was only able to detect the major sensations in it, but as he suspected that was the only thing he would be needed he was satisfied with it. The parts was what he suspected to be influencing his physical energy and the other his chakra. As he knew how it was to just not allow those sensations to happen, he started to try to block out the one boosting his chakra. But it was easier said than done as they were so connected that he had difficulties to even separate them in his mind. But after a few attempts Emi had successfully dampened the effect by the chakra boost, it was not any complete block, but if he knew that he was close to his maximum, then it would be a good way to keep it from pressuring too much.

When Emi was totally confident that he would be able to handle any excess chakra in his system, he tried to determine how much chakra he actually had. Even though it was a task that few actually would be able to learn, he had the benefit to be able to feel chakras around himself. But instead of focusing it towards an area, he had it directed towards himself, which made him feel that his chakra was completely different i comparison to how it used to be. The different attribute it had was something that he had never felt before and at first he believed it was something that indicated the bubbling effect of the chakra. But as the woman kept on hitting him with the wooden katana and the effect remained the exact same, he understood that it was just the result of the trial of pain. So he then was able to focus on the quantity instead of the qualities of his chakra, he decided that the levels weren't that low as he first had thought.

So he decided that it was time to actually get some combat practice using the pain, so Emi opened up his eyes and parried the next attack. The woman did however not appear to be affected as she just took a step back and made a longer swoop with the katana towards his stomach. Even though he was an experienced fighter, her moves were still faster than his, which made him realize that he would need to up his speed when he just barely blocked that one as well. The need to harness the pain was obvious to him and even though he already was in the state in which he was able to slow down the area, he needed to push it even further. To that point he had tried to resist the urge to get angry as that always ruined any training with others. But as he wasn't able to get any more effect from the other hits and his attempt to get further into the state, his anger emerged anyways.

That made the state suddenly to rapidly rise to the point that he was not only able to block all the incoming attacks, but he actually hit the lady on her left shoulder. She immediately looked a little worried, but as he was still feeling furious he just kept on going for her and swinging hard and fast. It did however not take many hits on her before he eyes got misty and she turned back the fight to have Emi on his defensive again. When Emi then got off-guard and was disarmed, he felt how his rage was calming down while the woman just sighed and lowered her katana. Emi tried to explain to her that it was just a way for him to be able to use more of the pain. But she shook her head and said that it was true, but it was the way of the succumbed, which she hoped that he wouldn't start going for.

He got a little worried when he learned that the tactics he naturally had fallen into was the same one as the ones loosing themselves in the pleasure of the pain. As he wanted to avoid that way, Emi asked the woman if there was anything that he could do to avoid slipping down the same path again. But the woman said that she had never actually been that close to the path of the succumbed, and Emi realized that it had to be due to his previous knowledge of exploiting his rage for combat. He also knew that it was a natural reaction in him that had first allowed him to gain abnormal powers while raging, making him worried that there would be no way for him to train that away. But when he asked the woman about it, she comforted him with the fact that to her anything could be trained to be learned or get rid off. To him it sounded a little too optimistic, but as he also had learned several divine powers, he hoped that his mood swings could be lost.

Emi then told the woman several different ways that she could provoke his temper and even though it was obvious to him that it was fake, it didn't take long until he felt the rage rising. As they continued, the woman began to understand what really triggered him, which allowed her to actually give him some sound advice what he could do to avoid it. It consisted of some mental practice and a breathing exercise which proved to be most successful, at least during non-stressful moments. What made it so difficult was however that every time one of the things he knew would cause frustration arose, he had to mentally focus to avoid loosing control. But when he was confident that he'd be able to resist raging, he was prepared for the next step in the training, to resume the combat. What he noticed was that the practices they just had made actually helped him get in focus with the pain as well and had him make it more effective.

It was however several opportunities that he had to step back to avoid going into the frenzy again. Thankfully the woman allowed him to get his room, but he doubted that any other opponent would do the same, which meant that he had to push himself further. All he had to think about was to stay in his state of complete focus, but it only got harder and harder the more numb his body got. So when he were no longer able to feel the hits, slowing down his movements, Emi slashed his belly with his claws to have the surroundings slow down again. The wound got rather deep and poured a fair amount of blood down the clothes and made the opponent hesitate in her movements. But Emi didn't really care as he was back in the proper mood and he felt like his brain was working at overdrive as he could analyze a lot more about the opponent than he usually could. Since he had the upper hand at that point Emi got in several good blows and were then able to get his opponent off balance. But thanks to his new found focus, he was able to stop a dangerously accurate blow towards her.

The whole thing had been more dangerous than either of them wanted to admit, but Emi helped the woman up on her legs as he felt how his heart was quickly slowing down. He had managed to hit a level he hadn't been on before, but as he only had been there for a very brief moment he wondered if it was just a momentary thing or if he could learn how to do it. As the woman appeared to be surprised by what he had done, he suspected that she wouldnt be able to help improve it any further, but she would still be a good sparring partner. Her worried look did however force him to concentrate further in what he was doing, as he had been dangerously close to allow the pain take control of his actions. So to first get a better sense of what happened, he asked her to move away a little so he could target one of the trees. After he had stabbed himself almost a dozen times, he had to take a break without even once reach the same state as a few moments earlier.

That made him wonder what had been so extremely different between the times? the two things was that it no longer was any actual combat, but also that he didn't get that ordinary sensation he got when the surroundings slowed down. So he turned around to the woman and told her to once again throw kunais at him, but at that time in a lot higher pace. It was hard for him to do, but as he felt that he had regained the sensation and it increased each time he was hurt, Emi smiled. When a large bunch of kunais suddenly were launched towards him, Emi slashed his waist again and hoped that it would put him back into the same state as before. The pain had his eyes flash and turn cloudy, but as the kunais got closer he still didn't reach the perfect clarity he had felt before. But instead of allowing himself to get frustrated after getting hit by most of the kunais, Emi took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

The woman had time after time reminded him that he had to be collected as he harnessed the sensations to avoid subduing to its lure. So he wondered if he would have a better chance to reach the proper state if he were more relaxed and had lower pulse. As he knew that he hadn't been that during his previous time, he hoped that it still would work as there seemed to be two ways to gain power from the pain. He asked the woman a little more about what kind of types of fighters there were in the two types of categories, as he wanted to get a good idea of what could cause it. After she had described a dozen different fighters that had fallen to the pain, Emi thought that he had a good idea on how it worked. But as she then changed and did the same with the enlightened, he couldn't help but loose track on which one would fight in what way as it appeared to be completely mixed.

His subdued frustration got revealed by the fact that he squeezed a rock so hard it became dust in his hands as he asked the final question to the lady. What actually was the difference in between the corrupt and the enlightened in terms of fighting? The woman shrugged and just said that the only thing she had noticed in between them was that despite which way they fought in, the succumbed always did so with rage in them. The enlightened did however always reason come first and rarely took any extra unnecessary risk. That was something that he already had heard about, but he tried to figure out how that could benefit him in the mentality to enter his state. When he turned back to the woman and asked if they could be using some real weapons, to make it more threatening and hopefully the ability to get it kick in easier.

The woman accepted but had a demand on her own, that they had another two individuals in the sparring match to make sure she had more control. So when they had gathered the others Emi pushed two senbons in each side of his back, which instantly made it pulsating with pain in both of his shoulders and he briefly was paralyzed in his body. But as saw the opponents approach him he twitched in his muscles and tried to clear his mind from anything that was not essential at that point. As before it really helped that the pain was taking so much place in his mind, but as he had to focus extra on the additional opponents he could fall too deep into it. His fear for not being able to handle it also refrained him from doing so, but the final moments he was able to stop worry. That made it possible for him to actually fall into the sensation and had the time almost stop completely when they were less than six feet away.

Emi grinned as he realized that he had actually managed to find the proper way to do it on, but as he was about to parry the incoming attack he had troubles moving his body as fast as he was able to follow theirs. So he miscalculated the incoming attacks for several seconds and was hit with little reduction to their attacks, grating him long and clean cuts across his body. The wounds were however too severe for him to be able to ignore them or have his body grow numb, making him able to keep up the slowed tempo of the world. That allowed him for a fairly long period of trial and errors, making him the more capable to handle the effect by the second. Due to the massive amount of damage he had gained, the opponents at first hesitated and didnt dare to go all out, but after they had noticed that he was getting the hang of it, they went all out. THen it didn\t take him long until he had mastered it managed to block all of the incoming attack towards him. The trio then settled down when they knew that the training actually were finished, allowing the boy to relax and recover from his wounds.

He thanked the others and explained that he would need some rest until he could continue training such intense training. So he gathered his stuff and then walked away.

Invigorating Pain
Rank: ‘B’, ‘A’, 'S'
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: When sustaining a wound, rather than succumbing to the pain, the user becomes more alert as the high enhances the users senses.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user still experiences pain as everyone else, including its debilitating effects, making the experience horrible in a way. This technique does not free the user from the detrimental and lethal effects of wounds and pain. If the user for example sustains an S-ranked wound they will be able to block out the pain for certain time, this does however not prevent the user from dying as a result of the wound before this time limit runs out.
Description: The more the user flirts with death, the larger the risk, the larger the reward. When hurt the user goes ‘misty eyed’ as the rush takes control. Some become extremely aggressive, whereas others retract themselves within their mind and become ruthlessly efficient. The rank of the wound, whether sustained or inflicted, determines how much the user gains. Once wounded the he user will be able to block out the pain of a wound up to the rank learned plus the pain of any subsequent wounds. In addition the pain activates the users fighters instinct, raising the awareness of the user. The world becomes a brighter place as everything lights up and colours intensify. The user becomes exceptionally sensitive towards motion, being able to spot a fly a several tens of meters away, gaining a +5 bonus to Observation checks when this jutsu is active per rank of wound sustained. This sharpening of all senses allows the user to more expertly sense when an attack is coming by. Within a range of ten meters per rank learned the user is able to sense if an attack is incoming, preventing the user from being caught unaware. The user is not able to sense incoming attacks from opponents that are higher ranked than the rank of this jutsu learned, plus the rank of wound sustained. When first hurt these effects kick in for the duration of three rounds, After these effects have worn off the user has to wait four turns again before being able to use this effect again.
Limit: Must have ‘Trial of Pain’.

The twins kept following the man who , after inviting them, turned silent. They didnt know what he wanted nor why he chose them however there seemed to be some sort of bond between them and the twins - a peculiar bond that they were feeling for the second time in their whole lives, a bond that atleast to their knowledge had never formed especially since they ha d never met the man before.

the first time they felt this bond happened roughly a month ago when they first met their goddess. As they laid eyes upon her and as they heard her voice it  was as if what they had lost and had been looking for was finally found and it was in front of them - a feeling of pure freedom and peace liberating the mind from any doubt , a true paradise. While this feeling they felt toward the man was similar in kind , it wasnt as powerful.

As they kept walking behind the man they begun observing him, as tall as he was and as big as he looked he managed to not make a single sound when he walked through the halls even though he seemed to drag his feet ever so slightly as if he couldnt feel them anymore. With the arms not being covered by a  ruined shirt they could clearly see the many scars on them , scard that could only be obtained through harsh training and many battles.

It didnt take long, no more than a couple of minutes , before they reached a circular circular room empty of windows or furniture, just a metal door separating them from the main corridor. the ceiling was as tall as the entire temple clreating some sort of cilinder. As the doors closed behind them it was as if time had stopped and every sound of the outside had ceased to exist. All they could hear was their own breath and heart beats.

The man, just as silent as before finally turned toward them as if he had finally acknowledge their presence. As he stared at them he walked closer - close enough for his arm to completly stretch out and the palm of his hand to be able to reach their face. "I want you to punch my hand". As the man said that he took a step back and lifted his hand up to allow them to do as he said. As they looked at eachother the twins then did exactly what they were told.

First was Caela , as she stepped in she through a hard right punch a t the man's hand - just a s both of their hands collided with one another a loud sound echoed through the room making it vibrate ever so slightly. Calynn was next and just as her sister did she would step in and through a good solid punch hitting the mans hand once more.

The darkhaired man smiled as the twins were done with their demonstration. "Now i want you do really punch me" while saying that he pulled out a knife and threw it toward Calynn with his other hand. He clearly wanted the twins to show him their progress in the Nenyana cult. Without a shred of doubt in her mind calynn begun to stab herself with the knife , once in her tight and once in her stomach.

The rush from the pain immediatly enveloped her however as she kept looking at her wounds while feeling all that pain  she immediatly noticed that even though she kept feeling pain the very wounds that  she had just caused to herself had been instantly healed. As she passed over the knife to her sister Caela she would repeat the punching motion from before, this time however causing a much louder sound as if a thunder had just struck the ground next to them.

The man's hand, ever so slightly pushed back was however unscathed. Any normal human being, after being hit by such a punch would've had their hand completly broken off or at the very least damaged. He instead didnt even show pain in his face as he welcomed Calynn's power. As he smiled he motioned Caela do do the same and as she lifted the knife she begun to stab herself.

After causing an incredible wound to her right leg the wound immediatly sealed off preventing any loss of blood or damage to her. As she stepped forward, this time however she would spin and throw a punch much  stronger than before pouring every single ounce of pain power from her body to her fist into the man's hand. The moment she hit him a deafening sound spread throughout the whole room making the whole structure shake and pushing the man back.

This time however the man's hand closed onto Caela's fist completly blocking it.  and as she tried to free herself he retaliated by punching her with his other hand onto her  stomach. The power of both of their punches fused together and then reflected toward them with his attack caused caela to fly upward ten meters before falling down ont othe ground.

"Lesson number one" Never share your pain, whenever you inflict it onto someone else - make sure he is dead or at the very least not a Nenyana's member. This act had caused Calynn to get enraged and as if she could feel her sister's pain she would charge another punch filled with it. However much like before it was completly blocked and its power nullified.

[Starnaess]

"Lesson number two , always enhance yourself before a fight" As the man finished speaking he then "vanished" from sight. It wasnt an actual vanishment nor was it some sort of genjutsu or invisibility, he simply focused all the pain onto his legs and begun to move faster than their normal eyes could see. As he did that he would appear behind them and attempt to kick both of them. As he his Calynn however, Caela immediatly reacted.

Using the pain her sister was feeling she would begin to enhance her senses to the point where she could even see the wings of a fly from twenty meters away. thanks to that the movement of the men became visible almost as if he was moving at normal speed. With a quick reaction she immediatly turned herself and blocked the kick with both hands embracing the pain that came with it.

Using the same pain she would immediatly transfer it onto her arms and begin to lift the man into the a ir throwing him toward the almost seemingly infinite ceiling and with Calynn standing up she would then punch the air causing a wave to be shot toward the airborne man hitting him and keeping him suspended a while longer. While all of this happened the man simply smiled.

"I knew you had it in you!" the man rejoiced as he embraced the pain the twins were causing him a nd as he finally fell onto the ground he would immediatly get back up and start laughing. "Thank you!" said the man as he kept looking the twins straight in their eyes. "Thank you for making me feel the embrace of the goddess, i knew i was right in choosing you!"

The men then begun to explain the reason he picked them.  However in order to do that he ha to start from he very beginning, before he had yet to join the Nenyana's Cult and become one of the most devoted servants. Before his new life begun the man  was a simple soldier - with a loving family and a passion burning inside of him - the passion to protect and serve his village and his loved ones.

Whenever he was sent to complete a mission he had to leave his family behind but as he accepted the mission, and he did that every time, he was sure that the village would protect his family as he was protecting the families of all the other villagers. However in his very last mission something went wrong and his whole life changed forever.

He was sent toward the mountains, roughtly a week on foot away from his home. His mission was a rather simple one - he and three of his members had to infiltrate an enemy scouting camp and kill every intruder. Just like any other mission his team prepared throughly everything they needed and begun gathring all the information necessary to assault that camp.

it took them an entire  weke before they felt ready enough to assault it - gathering information about every single person inside that camp and all their abilities. Even though something felt off about some of the ninjas there, as if they were way too weak to be on a scouting mission, they still never doubted their village's mission and simply went ahead with their plan.

As the night fell they begun to atack it using the shadows as their cover and killing one by one the easiest targets they could get their hands on. Every single target in that camp appeared to be from another village, however as they kept killing each one of them - one of the team members of the darkhaired man suddently stopped. "Whats wrong"? asked the man, but no answer was given.

[Starnaess]

post 8

Apparently this team member of his recognized some of the men in the camp, but to her , that  was ot possible for if they were the men a nd women she knew the whole mission had to be wrong and to her that concept was not possible. As they proceeded to the next tent the woman recognized yet another one, this time however as they were upclose it was clear to her - they were members of their very own village.

As the guards in the camp begun to notice something was wrong the alarm started to sound and  patrol guards begun sweeping every tent finding the dead bodies of some of the scouts. In mere seconds panic fear and war was in the air with the guards kicking down every tent in order to find the assailants. The darkhaired man , demanded an explanation from his team member w ho, due to her sloppiness had caused the guards to find them.

And as she explained everything became clear. Every scout in that camp was infact a member of the very village that sent them to kill them and the reason also became clear to them. The more they defended against the guards the more they would notice their  skills and clan affiliations. They were all members of a village clan that had become way too powerful in their natice village.

Link of Pain
Rank: 'C'
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Makes the user experience all the pain that his clones experience
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Does not work on the user himself as the user is invulnerable to Cult of Nenyana jutsu
Description: There exists a link between a user and all the clones he or she makes. With this jutsu the user hitches onto that existing link, creating a deeper link between the original and all existing clones. As a result the original experiences the same pain as the clones experience. For example, a blow to the stomach of a clone that would make the clone disappear would make the original keel over and throw up from the pain to the stomach.
Limit: Must know 'Lesson one'.

A technique renown for its many uses was the link of pain. This technique allowed one to link the pain with their clones allowing them to feel the bliss of it without damaging their bodies. This technique is so important that every member of the cult learn it. Since the members crave pain so much they tend to hurt themselves badly or get into situations that could endanger their lives.

However, this technique was invented to prevent just that , the loss of cult memberrs prematurely. By linking their pain with clones they could send them to the slaughter during battle, allowing the members to eeel their pain and using such power for themselves without putting them at risk. As the twins summoned many mud clones they would begin by touching them on their chest.

As they clsoed their eyes they imagined the pain they felt many times through their adventures, and as they picked up a metal stake they would pierce their hands and the heart of the clone at once. By doing this a permanent link would be enstablished allowing them to forever feel the pain and the many deaths of their clones.
