THE HOME OF KAI SERO

The home of Kai Sero. Not a very glamorous building, but a structure which satisfies the needs of the young shinobi. Located at the outskirts of town, where the poorer part of the population is packed together. The residence resembled an abandoned shop of sorts, possibly a bakery. The main floor is a small room. Where the bed is located at the far end of the building. As far away from the door as possible. A small light wooden nightstand stands next to the bed, kunais and shuriken thrown across it. An over-sized antique wardrobe looms over the tiny room across the building opposite of the bed. With only a handful of clothes carefully stored inside of it. An empty bookshelf leans against the wardrobe left there gathering dust, being unused. A bucket filled with fresh water is tucked away right against the single bed of the boy. A tiny stove is shoved up against the wall parallel to the bed. This is where all of Kai’s belongings were stored in this very room.

However if one were to pay attention to the wooden floorboards of the home. They would notice a square like incision in the the far corner of the room. If one were to lift it, they would find a set of stone stairs that lead down beneath the apparently small building. These steps lead you down to a basement, that is surprisingly much larger than the upper floor of the house. A mostly empty rectangular room that is lit by candles and lanterns. The room is almost thirty feet in length and fifteen feet in width. The interior walls and floors are made up of stone and sandstone mixed in with each other. This is the area where Kai would usually go down to train, as he never felt comfortable going outside of his home to deal with people whilst he had to better himself.

But this is it, it’s not much but it’s his.

The door of the old shack is gently closed behind a hooded figure as it enters the building. A few grains of sand manage to escape from the chaotic sandstorm outside into the silent home. Kai drops his hood before removing his midnight cloak. Revealing his white shirt, of which the sleeves are rolled up. After tossing the cloak onto the bed, he began to unbutton his shirt. Soon he was completely topless. After he was finished partially undressing himself, what currently posed as a male walked towards the massive antique closet. He opens it, to reveal a long mirror on the side door. Kai cracks his neck before taking a deep breath. Today was his training day, and he decided that he wanted to delve deeper into his possibility of improving his birth given abilities.

At the moment Kai was in his usual form, which is one that he has not changed since coming to the village of sand. A slender young male specimen stared back at him in the mirror. It was time to see what he was truly capable of. After taking another deep breath, the shinobi began to concentrate. He focused on the molecules that his body was comprised of. The very atoms that kept him in tact were beginning to take notice of his command. Not willing to co-operate however, they began to resist their hosts attempt to control them.

Kai knew from his time learning about chemistry that it takes tremendous amounts of energy to change molecules, or to change the structure of atoms. Since he was used to his current form, it didn’t require much energy use for him to maintain it. However changing his bodily structure would definitely prove a challenge. As he needed to focus harder. Kai had decided to first focus on the fat composition of his body as he felt that this aspect of him would be easiest to change. And so he began to attempt to alter his body weight by applying his bloodline ability.

A sort of tingling sensation began to run through Kai’s body. The atoms vibrated ecstatically as they multiplied and took different shape. Now that he felt that he had some kind of hold over the atoms of his anatomy. He began to focus that energy into certain parts of his body to see if he could alter its appearance. The easier part he felt would be to first try a smaller port of his body like his hand, as it would require the least amount of the energy to change its shape. So as he concentrated on his hand, and the atoms that it was composed of. It began to tingle and shake ever so slightly. One finger at a time, the hand began began to blow up like a balloon. Make it look ridiculously out of proportion with the rest of his body.

A small smirk flashed across his face, as progress was staring him right in the face. “Ok” he thought, it was time to move to a body part that was a even bigger. First he brought his hand back to its usual proportional size. Next was the forearm. A similar process would take place for this part of the body. At first a tickle like feeling flooded his neurons. Making him not all that comfortable. But Kai closed his eyes, trying to picture the structure of his forearm. Everything that was part of it, the nerves, the fat, the muscle, everything. He visualized the forearm, expanding just like his hand had, in a manner of a balloon. A warm feeling began to run through his forearm. And as he opened his eyes he could see it swell up with the fat that he had just added to its mass. Making it a little harder to keep up.

This time a chuckle had escaped his lips, he was getting the hang of this. It’s been a long time since he had done this, so he thought that it would take him days to actually get any progress. But he was wrong.

So it seemed that the only natural progression in this case was to move to the upper arm. Where the bicep and tricep resided. Just like last time, Kai deflated his forearm back to its usual size, before he began to manipulate his upper arm. The shinobi applied the same tactic as before, he closed his eyes and focused on the atoms of his arm and on multiplying them in the concentrated area. However it wasn’t working, no matter how hard he had focused on it. It seemed like it required a lot more energy, since most of that part of his body was muscle rather than fat. Which made conjuring that category of body structure more difficult. So an idea had come to him. What if he just transferred some of the fat from another body part into his upper arm? It might work, it might not. But he would never know if he didn’t try it.

The sensation was even stranger than before, as the fat molecules shifted from other parts of the body towards his right upper arm. Like an army of parasites were marching inside his skin. Slowly crawling towards their final destination. Upon reaching it they would settle down. Gradually bloating the right upper arm. Until his bicep was only a little bit smaller than Kai’s head. A long exhale was released from the boy’s mouth. As he rubbed the enlarged portion of his arm. Feeling proud of his achievement. Since he was successful in altering specific parts of his body he felt it was time to try and reshape his entire body.

Kai took in a few deep breaths to prepare himself for the massive transformation. He understood how uncomfortable and possibly painful it was about to become. After exhaling the last deep breath he began to focus on the atoms that structure his entire body. He knew he wouldn’t be able to borrow fat from other parts of his body like he did with his upper arm. So he would have to create the fat molecules within his body. Kai concentrated with all the willpower that he had to multiply these specific molecules within him. Sweat began to slowly drip down his forehead. It felt like his core temperature was heating up.

Pain began to shoot throughout his body. As more blubber began to slowly form inside of him, his skin began to forcibly stretch out. Causing Kai to gasp out in pain. This felt like torture. Until he split his mind to also focus on his skin. So it would expand alongside the fat in him. After approximately a minute of this slow continuous process. The boy had to stop. He was beginning to overheat, and felt like he might possibly pass out. When he had opened his eyes, he was greeted by a very different form compared to what he was to seeing. A double chin had began to hand down. A gut bulged out over the top of his trousers. Kai had managed to increase his weight from 155 pounds all the way to approximately 250 pounds.

The shinobi lifted his chicken wing of an arm now. To wipe off the large amount of sweat from his face. He gasped in victory as he doubled over. His hands resting on his knees, that he was barely able to reach at this point. “Time to turn back then” he told himself, before lifting his head back up to look at himself in the mirror. A massive grin spread across his face. Turning back to his usual self shouldn’t be too difficult as he was familiar with that form. And it wasn’t. It took the boy seconds to return to his slender and athletic frame. Kai had to think where he needed to progress from there on. He felt since he was able to do that with fat, muscle wouldn’t be that much of a challenge for him. So maybe the next thing to do, would be to alter his bone density or shape. The idea definitely sounded appealing to him.

Since bone is more than just a single molecule, but however two different materials working together. Collagen and calcium. This would definitely be trickier. The reason for that being was that he did not only have to recreate the atoms from which these materials were composed of. But he also had to mimic that reaction that they would both cause when interacting with each other. Kai had felt that repeating the steps that he used to create the fat would yield maximum results. So he would begin with his hand once again.

Kai outstretched his arm as he began to once more focus on the molecules from which the bones within his hands were made. The boy decided to take it slow and first focused on the collagen. Trying to form the atoms so that they could in return create the needed molecules for it. As soon as he had felt this foreign feeling his hand, he had assumed that he was successful. The next step involved, him creating the calcium. Which would harden the collagen to create the denser bones that he wanted.

Kai wasn’t sure if he was just beginning to get the hang of messing around with the his bodily structure. But this seemed easy. Creating the calcium created very little concentration. Now however came the hard part. And that was weaving the two separate components together. A picture formed in his mind. A lattice structure. And how it would be constructed. With this image in his brain, he used it to guide his process of connecting the collagen and calcium. Until he felt a drastic mass change in his hand. The difficulty of keeping his hand had increased in a manner of nanoseconds. Bone is heavier than fat after all. However Kai didn’t realize that it was by this much.

Since it was way too difficult to keep up his arm due to the extra weight added to it through the density of the bones in his hand. Kai had to figure out a way to make it easier for himself. His brain jumped from one idea to another, as he tried to figure out what he could. Eventually his mind came upon the thought of muscle, and how it helps keep the bones in place, whilst supporting them. So in theory if he added extra muscle for support it should allow him to control his now heavier body parts with ease.

First Kai focused on the generation of brand new muscle tissue. As the new tissue formed, it wrapped throughout the inside boy’s right arm. Creating extra support for his bones. Next was the difficult side of it, which was again of course creating two different materials in his body and having them react with each other in the correct way. He of course focused on the collagen first, just like last time. As this made most sense to do first. The tingling sensation that was plaguing him earlier, had subsided at this point. It seemed that he was beginning to get used to it. Next came creating the calcium to harden the bones.

As the calcium formed and began to mix with the collagen, the weight of the boy’s right arm began to increase. Even visibly the arm seemed to look a little different from a normal arm. Since the extra added muscle wasn’t placed in an exactly anatomically correct way. Which made the muscles bulge in some strange places. However it did the trick, Kai was able to swing his whole arm around with relative ease. There was still some resistance that was pushing against his movements but it was nothing like earlier on when he hadn’t created any support for it.

A rush of joy ran through the boy as he gazed at his arm. This is exactly what he needed to do. Despite being ashamed of his lineage and trying to hide it for so many years, he failed to realize how much of an asset it could be for him as a shinobi. He still however was not share this information openly with just anyone.

The form that he had developed with the help of his parents was nothing but a shell. It was not strong. Not even as strong as the average human being. His teeth were weak, his hearing was just good enough that he could hear a conversation that was had within 5 feet. And his sight was nothing amazing either. These were things that he needed to improve on. But he needed to obtain knowledge of the human anatomy first if he wanted to be able to implement these simple features into his own body.

And since he didn’t have that knowledge he knew where he could find it. The Public Library. The place were any knowledge that was available to the public was contained. So Kai got redressed, threw his cloak over his shoulder. Grabbed only a few essentials like a hand full of kunai’s along with an apple. He then took his steps out into the sandstorm that was brewing outside.

Warped Visage: Growth of Maw
Rank: C-ranked
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Allows the user to grow a working gastrointestinal system and alter its appearance as desired.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A technique that marks the first steps of a true Kedōin Clan member. Normally, the Kedōin do not need a gastrointestinal system to eat food. They may merely absorb food through the skin. If they so desire to have a mouth, the user must merely command and organize the cells of the body in such a manner as to produce a working mouth and gastrointestinal system. The user grows lips, teeth, tongue, and more to match the digestive system of regular humans. The appearance of their mouth is their desire as well. The user may change their mouth to appear as a rotted tooth vagabond, or a glossy white tooth model. Fanged teeth can be grown for added fear factor if the user desires. It takes one post to grow or alter a mouth/gastrointestinal system the user wishes to possess.

It took about another hour of slow-walking through the village to get back home. And the sandstorm didn’t do Kai any favours. As soon as the door slammed shut behind the boy, he gently placed the books he had gathered onto his bed. Followed by his cloak. The first book that Kai grabbed was the one that seemed to have the most broad amount of information, and with terminology that he would actually understand. ‘Anatomy 101: How Your Body is Built’. He quickly scanned the index until he found that chapter that he would need at the moment. ‘The Gastrointestinal System’, which it seemed had quite a few parts to it. And the chapter was definitely not one of the shortest. Which covered topics from the mouth down through the stomach all the way to the excretion point. Which for the most part was pretty alien to Kai, as he never really had to eat the way others do. He just absorbed food.

So it seemed that the book went into detail on how food passed through your body, and how the body broke it down for nutrients and the energy that a person would need to fuel them throughout the day. It also included many diagrams and explanation of each organ. The diagrams seemed to be the most useful however. As it allowed Kai to understand, how large the organs should be and where a normal person would have them. From what Kai understood these would probably be the most optimal place to create them.

After finishing the chapter, which definitely took the boy some time. He decided it was finally time to put this into practice. But there was a single problem, there was no way that Kai could think of testing, if what he did was right. Unless he decided to cut himself open. But it’s a thought that he had to put on the back-burner since it was something he could worry about later. For some reason, Kai decided to stand in front of the mirror. First thing he did before he began to attempt this technique, was to get rid of his mouth. So now he looked kind of, very creepy.

As Kai’s mouth dissipated a layer of skin slowly crawled over the hole that was there moments ago. The boy joined his hands together at the tips, and placed them to his head. The point fingers barely touching his forehead while the thumbs brushed against his chin. This was a regular stance for Kai when he had to hold focus. With this he began to concentrate on his internals. He had decided to begin from bottom up, which meant that his anus would be the first thing that he would need to create. And that’s what he focused on. Pretty much creating a hole in between his legs. This wasn’t too difficult. As the butt hole was made, he began to focus on the large intestine that it was attached to.

This part was a little more trickier as it required a lot more meticulous designing. He needed to make in the correct shape, and still leave space for the small intestine. Also the sensation of organs appearing that weren’t there before was not pleasant. Just like with creating the muscles, it was as if small insects were appearing out of nowhere and slowly marched throughout his insides in a very particular pattern. As soon as the intestine had reached its final destination, Kai went to gasp for air, but found that he couldn’t. Absolutely forgetting that he had gotten rid of his mouth. His nose manically fighting to get air into his lungs. Which was strange for him to do, since he didn’t need to breathe. It must have been a habit, he had developed in order to blend in.

After Kai had regained his composure, he continued with his training. The small intestine was next. This didn’t seem like it would be as difficult, since it had a similar function and look to the large intestine. The only difference was that it was much longer and a lot more crammed inside the body. Kai began to create the atoms for which the molecules would need, for them to be formed. Slowly the construction of the small intestine began. Expanding as if a snake was moving through his stomach in a  serpentine like path.

After these major organs had been created, the next step was to create the stomach, followed by the esophagus. The stomach would be much easier to create than the previous two organs, as it was just a container for consumed food. The only difficult part of that body part was to create the natural acid that resides in it. That deals with the breakdown of food. Not wanting to waste time, Kai once again closed his eyes as he strained to recreate the image that he burned into his mind from the book. The crawling and burning sensations ran throughout his stomach as the stomach, connected to the small intestine formed slowly.

It didn’t seem to be too difficult. Next was the esophagus, which was for the most part just a tube that connects the stomach to the mouth. This took but only moments to create, before moving onto the mouth, he needed to create his pharynx. So speech would be a possibility for him. This also only took moments as it was a fairly basic and small part of the body. Once that was done, he was almost finished. It also felt like he hadn’t made any mistakes so far in the process. Or so he hoped anyways. It’s not like he could check.

The final component was just the mouth. First a tongue populated the empty gap inside of his face. Next Kai forced the skin that was covering his mouth to pull back and disconnect. Making the image even odder than it was before. Just a tongue wiggling around with gums or teeth. It was definitely unsettling. So to finish off the set, gums slowly protruded down from a healthy row of teeth forced their way through.

With this final addition, the mouth that was erased earlier had been remade. Kai took in a deep breath, rejoicing that he was able to complete the this task. He walked over to his bed, where his biology book lay. He began to flick through it till he had found his next challenge. The ear. As he read through its lengthy descriptions, the boy began to realize that the ear was a lot more complex than he thought. And it wouldn’t be as easy to create than he thought when he set his mind on it. Created out of several section, with each section of the ear responsible for its own process.

So it seemed to Kai that the ear was split up into three different sections. The area where he would most likely have to start is in the inner ear. Which would be the section that processes and sends audio signals into the brain. It also seemed like the most complicated part of it all as well. As it had the most amount of tiny components. First in order to actually be able to make an ear, he had to rid himself of his own ability of hearing. As soon as this was done. Kai was engulfed in silence. The closest thing he had to sound was the vibration of his beating heart travelling through his body.

Kai sat there on his bed his hands once again in the same position as last time. Thumbs on his chin and point fingers grazing of his forehead. A picture of the cochlea sitting in his brain. His mind trying to recreate that same image. Not one however but two at the same time. One for each ear. The circular pattern slowly wove throughout the inside of his head. As the exterior formed, Kai began to focus on the internal part of the cochlea. First the fluid, then the sensory cells that absorbed the auditory information.

A tingle ran down the boy’s neck as the sensory cells slowly formed throughout the inside of the cochlea. So it seemed like the first stage was complete. It was now time to recreate the middle ear. Which also consisted of a few moving parts. The major responsibility that the middle ear had, was to amplify sound, in order for there to be a stronger signal that could be passed onto the brain. Where these signals would be processed into information.

The first step to creating the middle ear would be to first make the the eardrum, as it is the most simple yet crucial part of the middle ear. So Kai commanded the cells that are contained within his body to fit themselves into the needed mold of an eardrum. He had to make sure that it was strong enough not to rupture due to loud noise. But also thin enough that it wouldn’t just block the signal from getting through into the cochlea.

The next mechanism that was needed is split up into three even small parts. The malleus, incus and stapes. These parts are responsible for amplifying the sound that is then sent onto the brain. Kai focused carefully, as he attempted to design these three small mechanisms in his body. As they had to fit perfectly together, in order for his hearing to be active at a high level. This point took the longest, as Kai focused the most on this structure within his ear.

As soon as the middle ear had completed its creation, Kai got a sudden itchy feeling in his ear. Even though there was nothing to scratch there, he couldn’t help himself. It was a strange sensation. Especially since it wasn’t exactly something that he had done everyday. But he was at the last point of this task. The outer ear. This final step seemed to be the most simple. Since the outer ear’s major function was to capture sound waves and direct them to the middle ear.

So Kai, got to work. Tunneling out the ear canal until it reached the surface of his head. It was an eerie sight. A random hole on both sides of the young shinobi's head. It seemed extremely out of place. It seemed more natural when there was nothing there. Thankfully it was the last step of this body part. Which was the only part of the human ear that actually sat outside of the body. Kai felt like this part of the anatomy wasn’t hugely important for function.

Because of this, he thought he would have a little bit of fun. So what he created, was an elf like ear. Where the top of it extended all the way to the back of his head. As soon as he saw his reflection in the mirror on the other side of room. He had noticed that he still couldn’t hear. The realization panicked the boy. As he dived for his book, to figure out what it was that he had forgotten. It turned out to be a tiny little detail. The auditory nerve, which connected the cochlea to the brain. What a stupid mistake it was. But it only took mere seconds for him to correct this.

And just like that, the sandstorm that pounded against Kai’s home filled the dead void in his home.
