Clan Otsutsuki In The Martial World - Volume 1 Chapter 9 Nen
Indra was with closed eyes.
Aura is the vital energy produced by all living organisms for survival. The aura of the whole body tends to flow together, producing a mass of energy. This happens without the individual in question being aware of it, usually resulting in a slow escape of aura continuously escaping from the body. If one were to lose all their aura, it would be equivalent to using all their vital energy, which would be fatal. The pores or points in the body from which the aura flows are called Aura Nodes. The control of these nodes is the first step to be a user of the Nen.
Indra, was processing all the information about en nen, when suddenly.
Indra’s eyes snapped open when he felt a great power awakening inside him. He felt an aura emerge from him. The golden aura overflowed violently his body. Slowly the aura calmed and retreated in Indra, leaving a golden aura, which was like an endless sea, which belonged to Indra. “Incredible …” he exclaimed as he felt his aura.
After calming down, he worried that someone would feel the energy that overflowed violently from his body.
“System, someone felt the energy of my aura”. asked Indra concerned.
[Do not worry host, I covered the whole patio so that you do not feel the energy released]
Indra sighed with relief, if someone found out that he had a hidden power, he could put his life at risk.
After feeling the aura, now I had to start with real practice.
In order to fully understand the Nen, one must first learn the four fundamental principles of the nen. Everything else, including a practitioner of Nen’s individual abilities, is based on the basic operations of a person’s aura flow. The four fundamental principles, in order of study, are: Ten, Zetsu, Ren, and Hatsu.
Ten: Once a person has his aura knots open, he must learn to prevent the aura from escaping from his body. Ten (Barrier) is the process of keeping the nodes open and in turn generating an aura flow through and around the body instead of moving away from it.
Zetsu: While Ten allows the user to prevent the aura from escaping from his body, Zetsu (Void) stops the aura flow of his body completely. By closing all its aura nodes, the user is able to stop almost all outflow from his aura like water from a valve.
Ren: Ren (Strengthen; Improve) is a direct application of Ten. Since the user is able to prevent the aura from escaping out of the body, it is also possible for them to produce more aura around them without having to worry about losing it. Ren focuses on the output of a high amount of aura and keep it in the body, expanding the size and intensity of it. If Ten is considered purely defensive, then Ren is typically used for the offensive
Hatsu: Hatsu (release, actuation) is the release or transmission of the aura in a way that can be projected to carry out a certain function. In essence, Hatsu is a personal expression of Nen that creates a special and unique paranormal ability (colloquially called Nen ability).
(NT: That is what I explained in the previous chapter, people with this power can gain the power to see the future, telekinesis, etc).
But before starting with the practice. Indra wanted to know what kind of aura he had. Upon learning about his own type of aura, Indra could learn to apply the technique in a unique way that suits his personality, it can become a unique skill.
The most popular way to determine your type of aura is through the divination of water. The test requires one to float a leaf in a glass of water. Indra would have to place his hands around the glass and perform Ren. The resulting effect of the aura in contact with the glass will determine the type of aura of the person.
If the amount of water increases, the user is an Intensifier.
If the taste of the water changes, the user is a Transformer.
If impurities appear in the water, the user is a Materializer.
If the color of the water changes, the user is an Issuer.
If the sheet moves, the user is a Manipulator.
If the sheet is broken or there is a completely different change, the user is a Specialist.
“System you can tell me what kind of aura I’m compatible with”. asked Indra.
[Responding to the host. The host has maximum compatibility with any type of aura. Because of your massive intellect, it would be extremely easy to understand the 4 foundations of nen.]
“Hahaha! I’m a super genius” Indra chuckled.
[Yes]. responded the system.
“Then let’s start!” exclaimed the Indra. “System you can suppress my aura so that people do not feel it, while I practice”. asked Indra.
[Very good, host] responded the system.
After listening to the response of the system, he began to practice the four foundations of the nen. In an instant, his aura shot up like a column into the sky, but instantly a barrier appeared around the courtyard stopping the aura power. Indra started to sweat cold. “It seems, I need to start with the contro”. he murmured as he settled into the chair.
