The Next Morning.
Quon opened his eyes and stretched unconsciously. He heard a crackling sound similar to popping beans coming from all over his body.
'Comfortable!" Quon came back to his senses, clenched his fists and felt his body full of strength. After a night of deep sleep, the chakra was refilled in his body, and he no longer felt weak like last night.
He stood up and walked out of the house, and saw Genji sitting at the table in the hall.
"Come and have breakfast and then we'll start today's study." Genji said to Quon. Quon's awakening of Shikotsumyaku and strong talent made Genji's dark world have a ray of light.
In the ninja world which is filled with battles, Genj who just turned 30 is already considered middle-aged.
The middle-aged man who used to live a miserable life got up early today for the first time in a few years and cooked again with passion.
Although it was just a simple vegetable porridge, it was a great surprise for Quon who had not eaten the food cooked by his father with such passion in a Iong time. Usually it was him who would do all the work.
"Yes father!" Quon came to the table excitedly and sat down.
After eating and drinking, the father and son cleaned up together and sat back down at the table.
"Son I know that your heart is full of doubts, confusion and curiosity. Don't worry, let's talk slowly".Genji grinned.
His face which had been numb and expressionless since his wife had died seemed to be laughing and crying.
"I've already said last night. This ability is called Shikotsumyaku. It's the bloodline limit passed down from generation to generation in our Kaguya clan. However, because this bloodline is too powerful, very few people in the clan can awaken it. Only those with extremely high talents can awaken it.
Genji sighed,"I don't know if you can still bear the Kaguya surname. Our family has been expelled from the clan. Dad is sorry for you".
"The Shikotsumyaku is an ability to freely manipulate bones throughout the body and use it for defense or attack. Anything related to 'bone' can be manipulated without limit.
"Bones enhanced with chakra can be said to be the hardest substance in the ninja world. At least I have not seen anything harder than my bones. At the same time, after awakening the Shikotsumyaku our bodies also have the ability to heal injuries quickly". Genji slowly took off his clothes and activated the obscure chakra in his body. Several bone spikes appeared on Genji's chest, back, and arms. As the chakra fluctuated, Genji shouted, and bone spikes broke out of his body, looking a little hideous.
"This is the Shikotsumyaku the strongest bloodline in this ninja world. Bones can grow out from any part of the body at any time according to our control." Genji took a breath and continued to explain, "These bones are the strongest spears when attacking, and they can also be our strongest shields when defending.
"Mybody was severely injured in the war when I was young and it is difficult for him to use chakra. Once you learn to manipulate the Shikotsumyaku proficiently, your bones will actually grow very quickly." Genji's tone sounded a little unwilling
"You are studying the scroll left by your mother. There are only ordinary techniques in it. Your mother did not awaken the Shikotsumyaku. She did not have the training method of the Shikotsumyaku and the subsequent related bloodline ninjutsu so learn what you can from there in secret."
"Yes, father." Quon was still trying to digest the various information that Genji had just conveyed to him.
Genji collected the bone spears on his body, then crossed his arms to hold the bone spears on his arms and with a little force pulled the bone spears out of his body.
He handed the two bone blades to Qingsi and demonstrated to him that the broken bones had been quickly healed under the effect of chakra. "Dad has never given you a decent gift. I have strengthened these two bone blades with my chakra and will give them to you for self-defense.
"Thank you, father. I like them very much!" Quom happily put away the bone blade and kept it close to his body with great care. This was the first time his father had given him a gift since he could remember.
"Our situation is not very good, The damn Kaguya Musashi has been sending people to monitor and watch over us. If he knew that you had awakened your bloodline so early, he would definitely take action. So dad can't teach you ninjutsu personally." Genji said hatefully and sighed deeply.
Genji bit his finger, slowly formed a seal, and lightly slapped the ground.
A puff of white smoke dissipated, and an ancient ink-colored scroll appeared on the ground.
"This is the blood scroll passed down by our lineage (Genji married the daughter of the Sixth Elder, so he is considered the Sixth Elder's lineage). It records the training methods of the Shikotsumyaku as well as the various ninjutsu and taijutsu that can be used in conjunction with the Shikotsumyaku. Today, Dad will teach you this summoning technique. After you learn it, you can practice according to the scroll. If you have any questions during the practice, come and ask me. Remember to stay away. Those people's main target is me, and they are unlikely to pay attention to you.
"Summoning is a type of space-time ninjutsu, and its level is roughly C-ranked.
There are two types of Summoning jutsu.
"One is blood based and summons creatures and beings contract which can assist ninjas in battle. It is necessary to sign blood contract with the summoned creatures before summoning. The size of the summoned creatures is also related to the amount of chakra used by the user of the justsu. Let's not talk about this for now and Dad didn't have a summoning beast before." Genji smiled. Most members of the Kaguya clan prefer close combat. Although they also know various ninjutsu most of them rarely use them in battle and mostly use Taijutsu.
"The second is non-blood contract summoning, which can summon objects stored elsewhere. This is the summoning jutsu you learn".
"First, inject your chakra into the summoning circle on the scroll, and then leave your blood. Then, when you want to summon the scroll in the future, the scroll stored in our ancestral hal wlill be summoned through the medium of chakra and your blood. The summoning technique is not difficult to master. With your talent, you should be able to do it after practicing a few more time" Genji said with a bit of excitement in his voice.
Quon who was in contact with ninjutsu for the first time, was full of curiosity. He recalled the hand seals that Genji had just made, and bit his fingers like his father. He then slowly began to make hand eals with both hands. Chakra flowed rapidly in his body with the help of the hand seals. After all, it was Quon's first time to make proper hand seals so he danced his hands awkwardly. It took him five seconds to make five hand seals, and he slapped the ground with one hand.
"Summoning jutsu"
Smoke began to radiate from the place where the jutsu was used.
When the smoke cleared, Genj's eyes widened as he looked at the scroll that had moved to a new position on the ground. He couldn't help but once again marvel at his son's talent.
"Was this successful, father?" Quon asked, his tone revealing the excitement of performing a ninjutsu for the first time.
"It succeeded it succeeded on the first try son. You are worthy of being my son. You can cancel the chakra supply and let the scroll return to its original position." Genji continued.
"Then now you can practice whenever you like but be careful not to overtrain yourself and if you need to ask anything father is here for you".
"Yes father then i will go thanks for the teaching". With that Quon left for his room.
