Jai sat down somewhere and began to meditate while thinking about some thing's in his life. He thought about a bunch of stuff until he finally understood something about himself: He was seeking to overcome and to grow stronger in order that he might obtain the life and ability to live as he desired without being hindered by the everything his life taught him held himself back. He remembered somethings he had been through in the past and he felt worried about those things because his understanding of such thing's was so limited. However he was certain that he was shown these thing's for a reason and he felt like everyone around him in the village already knew about all this stuff but they weren't telling him.

He was sure he was always going to freak out over the things he didn't know about because it was human nature to do so. But the thing's he was learning about where becoming more and more comforting with understanding and time. So, it came that Jai decided to work on some meditation in his mind to see if he could reflect over a great many mysteries and set himself to figuring them out. He was certain there was something or someone within him who actually held all the answers he sought, but he never got too deep within his own self to figure it out. Not to mention...well, maybe to mention that a lot of the voices in his head seemed to find this entertaining or at least to have been chiming in at the strangest moments which kept Jai wondering if there was something going on here...hmmm.....


"I mean look at the techniques I am training...this is not ordinary for just any ninja...this is like...a quest of some sort...And like I wanna get high, and these beautiful women, and these dreams and thoughts....and my life...and the mysteries...I just feel like i need to hurry up and get my shit together like everyone else...Cause who am I kidding? " Jai lamented to himself as he sat in his usual training spot and then decided to think about some thing's like...He never wanted to be a killer ninja like in all those comics and magazines. Literally he was not in the ninja world to become a killer ninja...in fact he sort of had no need for the ninja life except; well the techniques and abilities he had access to where AWESOME!

Jai would set himself to meditating silently to himself which was another thing he had always had a hard time doing. Usually in the past he had always been prone to being anxious and unable to sit still when he needed to. His adhd or add, or one track mind seemed to lead him to some idea of getting up and going somewhere instead of patiently waiting. In fact Jai had never really had much in the way of patience. He was always trying to go somewhere or he was too scared to stick around like everyone else and remain calm. You couldn't blame him though, most everyone else often seemed to know or have a reason to wait patiently. Jai was always prone to his mental fits and thus ran off in his fear's and confusions.

It also didn't help that very beautiful women made him nervous. He was always so busy trying to avoid sexual temptations that he mostly made a fool of himself and was often frustrated to find that he always ran away only to find himself surrounded by homosexuals, or other strange weirdness...Story of his life really. But today was different and he relaxed himself and opened his mind to connecting with his more soulful side. Thankfully his training here had allowed him and got him to be a little more familiar and comfortable with connecting to his more soulful side. Well, actually it was a collection of random and special experiences that he was fortunate to get into in the past.

BUT, SOMETHING ABOUT THIS TIME! Seemed to be EXTRA COMFORTING, for Jai and made him damn sure aware that nothing bad or crazy was going to happen. In fact JAI ALMOST FELT LIKE HE EXPECTED THIS MOMENT TO COME. So he just relaxed and meditated silently thinking over thing's in his life. Such a lonely tumultuous life he had, and not to mention he really had to figure out a place to stay in a nice comfortable neighborhood where HE WOULD INDEED BE MAKING SOME TIGHT KNIT FRIENDS LIKE HE USED TO HAVE WHEN HE WAS WAY YOUNG YOUNG A LONG TIME AGOOOOOOOoooooooooo.

[~88~]

Jai channeled his chakra slowly into his body and listened to the sound of his breathing. It was hard but he managed to relax and felt a sense of joy come into his heart. He had really dedicated himself to learning some interesting techniques. It felt more like learning what he truly wanted to have in terms of special unique power's. He was happy to have been motivated to learn these thing's but there was STILL SO MUCH TO LEARN! something about this made him think back to something an old man said to him once and Jai smiled warmly.

Fro some reason he realized he should probably take his ass to church just a little bit more in order to hang out at other places other then the usual back and forth places he went to. The thing was Jai had such a hard time going out in public due to the high amount of sexual tensions he always felt. Gosh darnit, sometimes he just felt like grabbing a beautiful women in the heat of the moment, but he was trying to hard not to get all arrogant and crazy. So Jai relaxed more and calmed himself thinking more about the flow of his chakra circulation.

He breathed in deep feeling fresh breaths of oxygen flow through his body and then he tried to push his chakra control a little bit further into the good feeling he felt and he suddenly felt really lame. Lame as in he didn't want to move too much. He went into the calm state as if he where being called into it like becoming as still as a statue as his body began to feel less and less like his physical self. He fluttered his eyes a bit and opened them slowly to notice that something was up...like something was definitely going on here.

[~88~]

??/90

Thing was Jai couldn't seem to fight it. He just felt like someone or something within was trying to show him something...something about himself. Like one of those thing's that he always pondered a bunch. He realized that as he lay there, he suddenly started to feel weightless. It felt strange...like he wasn't as heavy as he should be or something. He let his eye's look over his body and he noticed that he was really still there in person but he couldn't feel himself as much as he usually could. Stranger still because he couldn't recall getting high lately.

It was strange all the same but, somehow inside he just didn't seem to care! Jai wondered why the day's always seemed to look the same as well? As he lay there he began to wonder about how each day seemed to look like a copy of a previous day over and over again. He imagined a few preset day versions could be reset and replayed everyday of the year for some reason. It was just so dang weird, he wondered why he thought stuff like this anyway. And wow it felt like time was somehow slowing down a bit or something. Like he was calmly settling down in a pocket of space or something...like he was sleeping in a space ship somewhere on the moon.

It was then that a EMBARRASSING THOUGHT came to Jai about invisible people watching him from...who knows, thin air or something. How embarrassed Jai felt suddenly as the thought's began to DAWN ON HIM! Jai thought about getting up and moving and as he did he noticed that he felt so slow motion and weightless about it. Like his ability to move was so easy right then. He got up and then looked around him and noticed that strange designs where floating in the air shimmering with a brilliant alien light! Jai had never seen this before but somehow he wasn't scared. In fact he was kinda BORED! Literally with such stuff he felt bored.

[~88~]

??/90

He felt like speaking about it to himself but somehow he just looked right at the stuff he was seeing and just...observed it for himself. Then he reached out to pick up a rock and he noticed that he could kinda see through his hand! Now this was getting to be really strange. He might be able to half believe some stuff, but there was no disbelieving that he could definitely see through his own hand. Jai just controlled his breathing as he stared at this and remained calm. He examined his self to make sure panic wouldn't set in and then he felt bored again like he had seen this before but couldn't remember it exactly.

Jai grabbed the rock into his hand and then he held it up to see it exactly. As he did this he thought about it for a few moments...something about stones? Jai rolled his eyes and then chucked the stone away wondering more about his soulful connection to chakra and how he had just changed into this half humanoid, half spirit self he was in. This was one for the books and Jai realized that at this point he was beginning to delve into the more stranger and stronger of the techniques he could learn.

Jai looked at his hands and then slowly stood up and looked around him to see if anyone else was around. And WELL YES THERE WAS! There where people all around and they just looked at Jai smiling as if he where crazy er something. Jai held his hand up to one person nearby hoping he could see what Jai was seeing and the person smiled and walked right up and high fived him and just kept going laughing to himself. Jai wanted to say something just then but he felt like someone else was in charge of his learning and examining right then. so he just shut up and didn't speak really...

Jai just seemed to be confused about this technique and he was sure there was a lot more to understand about it then he was learned in at the moment. He was surprised he had enough chakra to perform something as advanced as this and he was wondering just how much chakra he really had access to? this was definitely an advanced Jutsu...something around A rank. He thought about the techniques that he had that could be so strong as this one and he realized he literally had a few b ranks and mostly c and d rank techniques. The type of techniques that made him able to handle the little things and be basically immune to a lot of stuff like sickness and fear and adverse affects of the body.

Jai sat back down and continued to meditate on this technique and realized that he should try and see if he was really as ghostly as it seemed. So he went over to someone nearby and asked them to try and slap him. Jai cringed because he wasn't sure how this technique worked and the person just reached out to flick him on the face. Well, it worked they flicked I'm on the face and he was unsure what this meant. but the person tried it again this time trying to poke his face, and their finger slipped right through as if Jai just wasn't there.

The very moment Jai confirmed this and the difference he was suddenly overcome with a sense of extreme boredom. Like he had confirmed something that he should have obviously thought about. He was becoming more and more shocked that his brain was unable to figure these thing's out until he got to the truth of it. Jai just threw his hands up in the air and decided to go back and continue his peaceful meditations. He was reminded that the key here was to be still...be calm...and be quiet...for a long enough period of time that it awoke these secret powers of his.

that was the point...was to meditate and pretend that it helped him access more powers....to lay still or sit still for just long enough that it opened more chakra reserves...and allowed more understanding...of mysterious powers......Yeah.

[~88~]

??/90

so Jai went again and sat back down and began meditating, forcing himself to ignore the awesomeness of connecting to his soulful side and becoming...well less corporeal. He recalled watching a few movies where thing's like this where possible...a lot of them movies where the actors had super powers. It was pretty cool...those movies always motivated Jai to want Super powers of his own...but in like the real world...like reality kinda. You know because being human was the dumbest...So Jai forced his anxious urges to get up and run away to nowhere really interesting to calm down so he could find that special feeling of peaceful relaxation and then he turned his mind on trying to activate the power some more of becoming less corporeal.

It worked but it still took a lot of meditation, seeing as this technique was a lot more advanced then the other's...He wondered if there where a few more advanced techniques he could learn like these in order to transcend the boringest of the boring and he imagined he was probably not going to find anything else more interesting or important to do. He started to wonder what other ninja in the village where doing with there spare time and then he turned to notice a few more of them meditating like Jai was. Some of them where anxiously checking there watches and running off to some place like they had somewhere important or more interesting to sneak off too.

they where so desperate t sneak off where they wanted to sneak off too that they where getting upset at there own groups of friends for taking there time trying to get random stuff. One dude got so pissed off that he just threw his hands up and took off running away. Jai wondered what would make someone abandon there own best friend like that? Couldn't he wait patiently for his best friend to get his shit together? Jai watched the guy go running off to wherever he was going and Jai was like: 


"Dude wherever that guy is so desperate to get to he is not about to waste time with anyone who wants to bullshit and fuck around out here...it must be a really awesome place to go running off like that.....hmm...But then The only place I would want to get to that quick that I would leave my friends hanging is probably a porn star convention with all the real awesome porn stars....either that or a world famous meth lab with all kinds of different meth samples to try and test...probably take lessons on how to make it and how it's made....maybe even find some meth that's customized for porn star's and those who want the type of high that stimulates awesome sexual prowess.....I mean there's church stuff to, but the way that guy took off running was like he was not about to settle for wasting time dicking around out here when he could be getting his ass straight to the goods....yeah he's not got time to fuck around with the dumb shit...........Yeah if it was that awesome i'd probably have been right the fuck on my way too.........Anyway....Time for more training..."

[~88~]

??/90

Jai relaxed as he kept thinking about the obvious thing's on his mind and dismissed such thought's as he focused on how to get another lighter and another ...well, anyway he dismissed those thought's and decided to think about transcending time and space. But then he forced himself to get his mind together and consider that he didn't really have any friends. That was kinda why he was training so much other stuff like this. But then he realized maybe that guy was going to some place where they played awesome 4d video games and went on awesome month long adventures all lord of the rings style er something, but that was impossible...that was fairy tale stuff. 

"Month long adventures...and then come back victorious as if they never left...." Jai mumbled to himself absently. He dismissed more thoughts in his mind and forced himself to wonder about laser tag, but then he quickly dismissed those thoughts as he wondered what happened to all the homies...but then he dismissed those thoughts and somehow he expected his mind was going to roam around to some imaginary super beautiful fantasy girlfriend that he always imagined was waiting for him, where all he was going to do....er wait a second. Jai dismissed those thought's to, and found it! The serious sense of peaceful tranquility that enabled him to send some sort of outward message to everyone that he was trying to move along on the thing's he believed in that weren't exactly centered around the thing's he really loved and wanted to experience and enjoy.

He was back at the peaceful place and found some distant and dim connection to the inside spirit that seemed to manifest at times and help Jai understand things. He knew next to nothing about it, but he believed he was getting things right more and more with each new attempt. He realized that even though he gave up time and again, he never really gave up at all...he just took breaks and then picked up on faith and belief once again.

[~88~]

??/90

As he found his center of peace, he opened his eyes to find that he was literally ghostly all over. Somehow he was sort of shimmering with transparency but his entire body still had it's form, also his clothing as apart of this. It was then that Jai realized he must have had some sort of veil or bubble surrounding his entire body like a force field or maybe a aura of some sort that when fully channeled around his body enveloped him in the ghostly properties. It was so interesting that Jai waved his hand's around and wondered how he was able to summon a field around himself like this. Then he recalled something from a long time ago: everyone's body contains a force field like aura, that emit's energy of different wave lengths.

Certain thing's are possible depending on the wave length and the manifestation of the aura and interaction with thing's both spiritual and non spiritual but physical around him. Jai felt like he already knew this, but that he was remembering thing's long...forgotten. Jai thought about being a doctor, but then he realized why be a doctor when he could just at least train himself to have the type of power that could fix problems miraculously. That seemed to make more sense to Jai...because he never liked the paper work, and business side of the business world. So much stress and world problems with all those papers and stuff.

Jai realized that this was actually what he was doing...To reach out and just touch someone was a lot easier to fix an ailment or sickness or problem then to go into complex physical surgeries and endure a bunch of crazy shit that inspired so much panic and fear. And then a new mystery ran through Jai's mind...why in the heck would someone go to a ninja hospital where medical ninja where at with all kinds of medical techniques and healing jutsu...for something like a fricken surgery and medical pills?  

"Probably to get high, and to lay around and watch T.v. and get away from the rest of the world....and stare at beautiful people, and maybe other fun stuff...But these are just crazy ideas as usual..."

Jai decided to practice some more on his medical chakra while he sat there meditating. He wanted to make sure that his medical proficiency would allow him to be absolutely the type of healer he wanted to be. He felt hungry now, but he was sure that this exceptional time spent meditating would change things around in his favor instead of trying to...rush off and go seeking his own way with the stuff he was learning. He had to remember he was learning these thing's for a special reason, and not to just go running around being some super asshole. He thought about thing's like taking chuunin exams and what it would give to him and he realized that the only thing he might get for being a chuunin right now as far as he could see would be a lot of money, and scary more risky missions.

That didn't seem smart for someone like Jai to get involved in. It seemed pretty dark, but he knew that there was also a opposite light side to it. He figured that with patience and careful meditation and further training, he would get to what he truly wanted for himself and finally find his way. He remembered those urges to run off and gamble or do things in some spur of the moment hope to get what he wanted for a temporary moment, but then he also remembered and realized that the lingering sense of fearful panic always came with that. It was like someone trying to get him to fall for a trap time and again, but the more Jai resisted it, he noticed he felt better and better and freeir and freeir.

He had never payed this much attention to these thing's before, and usually he was dragged along with what other's often suggested. Feeling compelled to go off into the dark side of things was what he had been used to in the past, but today, Jai decided to just...resume his careful training and stay focused with the thing's he found interesting in that motivated him to start training like this in the first place. He had come along way from the past and wanted to keep at it. It just got really hard sometimes when he felt like everyone else was always running off to go enjoy the things Jai wanted to do...He felt like he was wasting his time trying to train and learn all this miracle stuff...he just hoped it was worth it.

Jai woke up on another morning to feel refreshed and ready to continue training again so he made his way to the usual training spot and began to meditate again. He focused on channeling his chakra properly and tried to get even deeper in connecting with it. However he found it to be a little more difficult requiring more patience as usual. It was worth it though as far as he knew because the more he mastered his meditation and patience the better his training seemed to progress. He channeled energy through his body and he could feel it now. He had learned enough that he could feel the chakra coursing through his body when he trained now and he felt a sense of advancement in his skills and abilities.

He recalled something about a chuunin exam event coming up but he wasn't interested in joining or signing up for something like that because not only did he not care to gain some superior rank and right to go on tougher missions, but he also didn't care to get involved in something so serious and frightening as a chuunin exam. From what he knew they where not all that fun and often put people in situations they'd rather not be in. It was the type of thing that reminded Jai of gambling at a casino...you might win big, but you might also lose a lot. Thinking on these thing's as he meditated he began to get a sense of what his medical chakra was like when channeled and could tell the difference from the chakra nature of his other jutsu.

The chakra nature of his medical techniques came more readily to his body and into his hands, he noticed now. It was interesting to say the least, to see this amount of progress after training steadily for sometime now. He thought about learning the basics along time ago when he was real young and it just felt like such a long time ago since he really picked up the ball on training himself to learn more and more. He was sure that if he kept on with this focus that he would begin to see some really cool techniques and their effects when used correctly. He almost couldn't wait to try some of the thing's he really learned lately but he knew he still had to be patient before he could really be sure of himself and his ability. besides he didn't want some half bit failure thing going on...he hated feeling like he was on stage for stuff...He just wanted to get all the techniques and powers to go out and do awesome stuff for once in his miserable life...

Jai decided to try a new technique for a moment that he felt was something he could make grand use of. It occurred to him that he might need to have some sort of guidance ability that would allow him to navigate and go wherever he wished to go without actually having a map, or any knowledge about a environment. It would be nice to just think of where he wanted to go, and without having any familiarity with the direction; be able still to find the right path to take and arrive at desired destinations whenever traveling. So he channeled his chakra and focused his energy and decided on trying to find some restaurant somewhere.

He felt himself begin to sense through the sensory chakra and thought about a random restaurant that served some sort of food he liked. He sent his chakra out in an expanding of the mind until he felt some alertness that seemed like an indication of where to go in order to find the place. in fact he acutely turned in the directions that would get him there as if he felt some sort of happy compulsion. It was like someone who find s the right directions with a map, and knows exactly where to travel in order to get where they want to go. 

Jai went for a long walk after that and payed attention to the details of his walk. it was indeed a long one, but he realized as he set off that the innate sense of guidance and direction seemed to stick with him as if trying to guide him step by step. Like some invisible child who knew exactly where to go in order to arrive like some gps helper. Jai was unsure about just trusting his mind and instinct like this...he had never known a jutsu that could guide him wherever he wished this accurately, and he suddenly began to consider something...he could literally think of where to go and find his way right to the place just with this technique. There would be no way for him to be lost in an environment...in fact he might even be able to travel with his eyes closed and still make it right to where he wanted to go...

"How's this one for blind leading blind?!" Jai smiled at the thought of this and went on the hunch he had.

[~88~]

??/60 


traveling on the road to the restaurant Jai noticed certain details as he walked around. For instance he noticed that certain people seemed to be standing by the way side, and around them Jai noticed that other roads to take and ways to go seemed very uninteresting. Almost like it was telling him it was not the right way to go in order to arrive where he wanted. He looked here and there and then his attention span seemed to accurately call out in his mind in a certain direction. He stared off at it and wondered what it was he was looking so intently for and then he realized it might be the technique at work trying to get him to go the right way in order to get where he wanted to go.

He tried to believe in the technique, and went off that way and found himself somewhere in a crowded place where a lot of restaurants and grocery stores where. It was fun arriving there because he realized he was closer to the restaurant he wanted to reach. Jai went around the place and wondered what it was he was looking for and then he remembered it was a special store that would have a certain type of beef jerky, like 3/4 lb of beef jerky which he wanted. Jai seemed to find the right store after he payed enough attention to the innate sense of direction that kept yanking his intelligence and he eventually found out where it was that he wanted to go.

Once inside the right place Jai made his way right to the item he was looking for and realized he was able to blindly use this technique to literally find a place he was hoping to go. He though about this for a moment and realized he wasn't so hungry but more importantly he could go anywhere and find any place with this technique. He couldn't be found lost with this technique and he would always find his way to wherever he desired. The door's that this technique opened available to Jai where phenomenal in the options he could choose and he just imagined the places he wanted to go and that he could literally find his way there...however there where yet other skills necessary to get where he wanted without interruptions.

[~88~]

??/60

He tried to perform the technique again and tried to see if he could find his way to a movie theater from where he was. He performed the technique and with some careful meditation he seemed to hone in his attention on a path that would get him there. He started off on his way and found himself at some nearby park where he could take a sudden left and then a right here and there and eventually found himself right at the movie theater but he realized it wasn't the one he wanted to go to. He tried to imagine the one he wanted to go to and then he found himself acutely alerted towards another path, he found himself at a homeless shelter and once there he had a seat and then thought about how he got to a homeless shelter when he wanted to go to a certain movie theater.

Strange he thought to himself...Maybe he got the technique wrong or maybe the type of movie theater he was hoping for had not yet been built, and the road there involved coming here first...hmm, it was an interesting thought as he considered this and then he wondered why a 4d movie theater hadn't been built yet, however, someone came by and asked Jai if he had a place to stay of his own and Jai told the person all about his hopes and dreams and his idea about a 4d movie theater. He explained to the person that he wanted to find wherever a 4d movie theatre was so that he could find out if he could watch 4d pornographic movies to see if the experience was what he was looking for.

The person speaking to Jai seemed to be confused or maybe embarrassed at his request so Jai just told her never mind since it was causing the wrong kinds of impressions and making confusion and other indicators that weren't what he was looking for. Jai felt really depressed like he was never going to find his happiness around here and then he tried to turn his mind back to the other pursuits. The ones like learning how to become a medical healer of the most awesomeness kind. But then he realized his mind turned to the hospital nearby where a bunch of sick people where and he noticed 

[~88~]

??/60

-That the sick people there could probably use some healing. Thing was Jai was to unsure of his ability to heal anyone at a hospital seeing as medical personnel where already there performing a bunch of procedures. Besides the beautiful women there always distracted Jai and made him feel nervous. He didn't want to keep putting himself under those pressures so he decided to go back to the regular training area and just try meditating some more with the technique in mind. He used it to find his way back quickest and once he was at the training area again he sat down to meditate. 

The sun was warm to his face and he could really tell that the spring/ summer was coming around because of the change in temperatures. It felt good to be here at this moment training and he felt this technique would become very useful later on. He thought about things like people from his past and how he hadn't seen them in quite some time. He had always been feeling like someone else these days and not the person he wanted to be, that may have been due to his tragically depressing past. Jai thought this stuff over and realized that in all his searching he still hadn't found what he was looking for. He had spent so much effort in trying to attain something that was just...impossible for him to grasp, but seemed to come so easily to everyone else around him.

These thoughts made him feel strange...like he was some sort of outcast or some one marked for failure. He had no one to blame really but himself, and he learned that owning up to his own faults had become a key thing in resolving his shame, and cutting himself off from the influences and things that led him to such depressions. Now however he still felt lost, and he hoped learning this technique would open his mind to a new understanding of how to get to wherever one wanted to go...accurately and precisely.
