Chapter 32: Handprints

Putting down the scroll in his hand that recorded the geography of the ninja world, Aoyagi got up and paced back and forth in the room.

Since with the current chakra control ability, he can't practice the secret art for the time being, so he will practice something else at night.

Exercises that are heavy in the day are done in the daytime, and then in the evening in which there is a small amount of exercise. Thinking that he had obtained the shuriken shadow clone technique, and the ninjutsu that Mr. Araki was about to teach, Aoyagi felt that it was time to practice the seal.

I had been focusing on the improvement of physical fitness and the basic control of Chakra, but I was negligent in Knotting.

Aoyagi went down to the basement and picked out the scroll that recorded the basic mudra and how to practice sealing, and returned to the house.

Under the light, Aoyagi carefully unfolded the scroll and carefully read its contents.

Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai, the twelve basic mudras named after the twelve earthly branches, are the basic components of most ninjutsu. In addition to the twelve basic mudras, there are other mudras, which are not listed here.

The different combinations of the twelve basic mudras will form a completely different ninjutsu.

The mudra needs to be gestured exactly right, otherwise it won't be able to achieve the corresponding effect - inducing the chakra to form various ninjutsu.

The speed of the seal is one of the important factors in determining the outcome of the battle between ninjas. If the sealing speed is slow, the speed of launching ninjutsu will naturally be slow, which is a very deadly thing in a fast ninja duel.

Because in a fierce confrontation, the enemy will not give you time to slowly release the ninjutsu, and they are more likely to do something that will give you a shuriken or kunai, interrupt your knot, or release the ninjutsu faster than you, knock you down early, or something like that.

Being suppressed to the point where you can't use ninjutsu, it can be said that the ninja's abilities are limited a lot (the specific situation varies according to the direction of each ninja's specialization, if you specialize in physical arts such as Kai and Li, then you can not spend effort on the seal, but that is a special case after all).

Therefore, increasing the speed of the seal as much as possible while ensuring that the mudra is correct is basically something that every ninja pursues all his life.

So how do you practice sealing?

The most important thing for beginners is to make each mudra accurately, not just to be fast. It is necessary to practice each mudra repeatedly, and only when you can make the correct mudra naturally with each seal can you enter the stage of pursuing speed.

Otherwise, if you blindly pursue speed without paying attention to the accuracy of the mudra, you will indeed be able to produce the handprint relatively quickly in the early stage. However, because you are not familiar with the hand print, it is easy to make the wrong handprint in the process of seeking speed, and even develop the wrong habit of sealing, which will greatly hinder the improvement in the future.

Once you have developed the wrong stamping method, it is difficult to correct it. Compared to laying a solid foundation from scratch, it takes a lot of extra time to correct, and the gains outweigh the losses.

And the most harmless thing about stamping mistakes is that they have no effect. However, seal errors can usually cause chakra disorder, and this situation in combat is quite a big flaw for ninjas who are good at seizing opportunities.

After practicing the basic mudras, there are a few tips to pay attention to when doing the quick-moving practice:

Between the two mudras, pay attention to how the hand changes when changing gestures. A good way to transform, that is, to save time, and to transform comfortably and naturally, for each person, the transformation method that may be suitable is different, and you need to explore it yourself.

However, the transformation gestures used by the predecessors can still be used as an important reference, and the following are the collected transformation methods:

Chen-Yin change gestures......

…………

Aoyagi skipped the advanced part and concentrated on reading the exact seals of the twelve mudras while experimenting.

Well, when there is a chakra in the body, a successful seal will trigger the chakra, and some changes will occur.

After picking the gesture that he thought was the simplest - Yin, after repeating it several times, Aoyagi thought that there should be nothing wrong, so he tried to use the handprint to induce Chakra.

A small amount of chakra was extracted first, so that even if something happened, the consequences would not be too serious.

With curiosity about supernatural power and the excitement of being able to control it himself, Aoyagi formed the Yin Seal, and the chakra in his body was a little restless at the moment when the Yin Seal was formed, and there was a tendency to spread and spread. This is not a simple change in form, but a slight change in the nature of the chakra itself.

This strange and peculiar feeling amazed Aoyagi, and the handprints were truly wonderful. Before, my efforts to change the nature of the chakra had no effect, it was like fishing for the moon in the water, and it didn't affect the moon at all. And now as soon as the seal is sealed, Chakra immediately reacts.

After several attempts, Aoyagi kept playing with the new toys like a child.

Okay, so then the next step is the seal, pay attention to the overlapping thumbs and the left thumb on top.

…………

After practicing a few mudras and feeling the sensation of them inducing chakra, Aoyagi looked at the time, more than an hour had passed, and it was not too early.

After stopping the practice of mudras, Aoyagi plans to try the two secret techniques of strengthening the body and refreshing the mind one last time, so that he can take some time every day to gain some experience. Maybe the drop of water wears through the stone, and under perseverance, there will be some breakthroughs.

Sitting cross-legged, concentrating, extracting the chakra from the dantian, imagining it becoming warm and full of vitality. Aoyagi struggled to hold back for a moment, but Chakra still didn't move.

Hold on until the chakra dissipates, and nothing changes. Although Aoyagi expected it, it was inevitable that she would be a little disappointed.

If only there was a corresponding mudra, I could practice the secret art by sealing it directly.

Thinking of this, Aoyagi suddenly thought, can we choose a mudra with the closest effect, seal to guide the chakra, and then control it to transform in the direction of rich vitality?

The more I think about it, the more I feel that I can give it a try, isn't it that everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you use the mudra to guide the chakra to change, then it should be a lot easier to control the change in its nature later, right?

Although I really wanted to try it immediately, it was not too early, so Aoyagi recorded this conjecture in a small notebook (experiment notebook ~ fog) and waited for tomorrow to verify.

After lying on the bed and falling asleep, another practice awaited Aoyagi.

Since he began to practice sealing, Aoyagi allocated some time to practice shuriken and kunai throwing to practice sealing, and deepened his impression.

However, Aoyagi did not continue to practice the novice mudra. I don't know why, even after a long time of reading, the scrolls from the outside world could not be projected into the space, which made Aoyagi's plan to use the space to learn more ninja knowledge was shattered.

Naturally, there is no knowledge of imprinting in space. Aoyagi wasn't sure if the posture of the other mudras he remembered was correct, and secondly, he couldn't extract the chakra, so he couldn't use the chakra to determine whether the gesture was right or wrong, so he simply didn't learn the new mudra in the space.
