*KABOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!*
An explosion of chakra spilled out of Lumian's body.
Toka was instantly sent flying back and crashed into a wooden training log in the corner of the field.
A wide crater formed around Lumian as the wind around the young boy seemed to pickup.
Dirt was sent flying in every direction as the trees around the training field shook, their trunks groaning under the pressure while the wind swayed the branches and leaves in a wild, frenzied dance.
. . .
Rocks and pebbles scattered across the field, clinking and bouncing as the ground trembled beneath them.
The chakra that spilled out of Lumian grew more volatile by the second, warping the air around him with a visible shimmer. A low hum, almost like the crackle of distant thunder, pulsed outward in waves, each one stronger than the last.
Sparks of raw energy snapped in the air, scorching the dirt beneath his feet. Birds fled the treetops in frantic bursts, their cries lost in the growing roar of energy that seemed to shake the very field.
Toka who had just been sent flying was temporarily stunned by the impact. As his back faced the training log, he snapped out of his shock and gaped his mouth at Lumian as his eyes widened.
. . .
Lumian not knowing what was going on, was panicking.
Right now he felt his energy spilling out as his stamina was starting to dwindle. If he didn't stop the flow of chakra immediately, he was going to pass out. Or even worse.... die from Chakra exhaustion.
Toka stood up and tried to approach Lumian. He was instantly pushed back as the wind seemed to form an invisible barrier around him.
Seeing his attempts to approach him were ineffective, Toka gave up his attempts and tried to yell out an instruction at Lumian.
. . .
"Cut your chakra off by releasing your hand seal!!!"
. . .
Lumian couldn't hear Toka over the wind. He could only see the man opening his mouth and shouting something.
However, he took a guess at what Toka was trying to tell him. It was painfully obvious that he just had to release his hand seals that allowed him to flow his chakra. However, that was easier said than done..... Currently, his hands felt like they were stuck together by glue.
As Lumian could feel his life gradually slipping away, he steeled his determination and tried with every ounce of his resolve to separate his hands.
In the distance several Chunin were approaching after they heard the explosion.
. . .
They couldn't tell what happened but seeing a young boy currently in a state of chaos, they too like Toka tried to approach Lumian.
However, the barrier of wind was stronger than before as the crater around Lumian was already much wider now.
The Chunin were each individually pushed back as one of them even fell down unto the ground landing on his butt.
As they watched in horror, Lumian slowly but gradually was unclasping his hands as his fingers were gradually starting to move away from each other.
With a final yell, he finally separated his hands.
Instantly, the wind calmed down as the ground stopped shaking.
The trees stopped swaying as broken branches fell unto the ground.
The field instantly descended into silence.
. . .
The Chunins stared at the boy in shock as he laid on the ground letting short bursts of panting.
One of the Chunin present on the field turned to his companion.
"Inform Lord Hokage!! And get a medic!!!"
And with that Lumian blacked out again....
- -- - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - -- - -- - - -
*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*
A sound of a machine beeping could be heard
Lumian slowly opened his eyes.....
He stared at the seemingly white ceiling.
"That ceiling looks familiar....."
Just then a voice rang out. "Oh you're awake????" ???? said.
Lumian still stared at the ceiling. After a while he sighed. "That voice sounds familiar too..."
"Hey, I can hear you!!" ???? said.
Lumian smiled and turned his head slowly to face the source of the voice. Standing next to the bed was a nurse with a sharp glare and an unmistakable pout, her arms crossed tightly over her chest with frustration. Her cheeks were slightly flushed from what looked like a mix of concern and exasperation.
. . .
"It's only been a week and you're already back at the hospital!" she yelled, her voice rising in disbelief. "Don't you have the least bit of common sense when it comes to taking care of yourself?!
Lumian chuckled, the sound low and almost teasing, and began to sit up on the edge of the bed.
"Hey, wait… don't sit up ye—" she started to protest, rushing toward him, but she froze mid-step as he waved his hand lazily in the air, brushing off her concern.
"It's fine. I don't feel tired."
He paused, eyes narrowing slightly, his attention turning inward. Something pulsed faintly in his stomach, something alive. No pain. No fatigue. Just… power. Warm, steady, flowing through his limbs like a gentle current.
Chakra.
Not wild like before, controlled, as if it had finally found its rhythm within him.
The nurse's stern expression wavered. "That's not normal, you know. Usually people who face Chakra exhaustion spent days to weeks in bed....."
Lumian met her gaze. "I'm just built different." he said with a smile.
Audrey sighed and plopped down onto the chair that was beside his bed, her earlier frustration melting into a resigned concern.
"You're going to worry me to death Amon... One of these days, I swear…"
Lumian stared at Audrey as he seemed to tease her with smiling gaze.
. . .
Just then, in the corner of the room, a door opened.
. . .
Lumian turned his attention to the doorway. The Hokage was dressed in a white robe and had his hands clasped behind his back.
"Hi Gramps!!!! This scene looks familiar don't you think????" Lumian said.
The Hokage chuckled as he approached the bed side.
He stopped and said: "Toka told me that you were unlocking your chakra. I assume from what happened, that while you were in the process of releasing it, chaos ensued???"
Lumian nodded. Then he asked him a question. "Do you know why my chakra acted so weirdly??"
. . .
Hiruzen paused and stared at Lumian. After a while he reached behind his back while speaking.
"Before I answer that question, I want you to test something for me real quick...."
Lumian looked at the Hokage with a questioning gaze as Hiruzen pulled something that seemed to look like a sheet of paper out of a hidden pocket of his robe.
Lumian instantly recognized what it was.
A chakra paper.
"So it had something to do with my chakra nature???" Lumian theorized.
Seeing as Hiruzen was holding out the paper for Lumian to take, Lumian reached out and grabbed it.
. . .
Hiruzen then instructed Lumian. "Try and slowly insert your chakra into the paper. Since I'm here, I'll intervene if anything goes wrong."
Following Hiruzen's instructions, Lumian reached into himself and guided his chakra along his arm to seep externally out of his fingers.
Lumian instantly realized that it was much easier than before.
Audrey had looked over at the chakra paper as both her and Lumian seemed to be waiting in anticipation.
Suddenly something seemed to happen to it. Lumian watched as the Chakra paper slowly...
Vanished???
No... More like it crumbled into dust....
Lumian was confused and looked at the Hokage.
He knew based on the Naruto series what each element the chakra paper reacted too.
. . .
Fire: The paper will catch on fire and turn into ash.
Wind: The paper will split in half.
Lightning: The paper will wrinkle.
Earth: The paper will turn to dirt and crumble away.
Water: The paper will become damp.
. . .
However his just turned to dust????
The Hokage was smiling and nodded his head.
He then turned to Lumian and said:
"It seems you have the rare ability of having Yin release."
Yin release??? What does that have to with anything??? Lumian questioned why Yin release would cause his chakra to act in such a way.
Lumian opened his eyes in realization as he recalled a conversation from the anime. "So you're telling me that my Yin and Yang weren't balanced, so they clashed because my Yin aspect overlapped my Yang???"
Hiruzen nodded at his assumption. "You seem to be well-informed. Yes, that is true. When a Shinobi uses a technique, their Yin (spirit) and Yang (body) are usually balanced to successfully create a jutsu. When one overlaps the other, they clash and the technique would fail."
Hearing the Hokage's explanation Lumian nodded. However he then furrowed his brows and asked:
"Wait, even if my Yin aspect overlaps my Yang, shouldn't the Chakra paper at least show at least a little bit of my basic elemental ability??? After all, if I had a Fire chakra nature, the paper should still at least give off a spark before disintegrating....."
. . .
Hiruzen kept his smile much in a way that Amon would usually express. Then he spoke. "Thats the thing young Amon.... Your spirituality was so strong that it completely overwhelmed your Yang's aspect of Body."
Lumian widened his eyes in horror. "So then, you're telling me I don't have compatibility with Taijutsu or even Ninjitsu?????" Lumian let out this thought.
After all, if one's body was weak, he couldn't really perform well in a battle physically and neither could he effectively use Ninjitsu with an unbalanced yin and yang aspect!
"So then how am I supposed to become a Shinobi like this??" Lumian asked.
Hiruzen laughed and reminded Lumian. "You forgot one of them."
- - - - - - - -- -- - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Lumian had a realization. "Thats right!!!! Genjutsu!!!!!!"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The Hokage nodded upon seeing the look of realization on Lumian's face.
"That's right Young Amon. You have the talent of becoming a Genjutsu Master." he said.
Audrey who was next to Lumian, put her hands to her mouth in shock.
Audrey then smiled and look at Lumian.
"Thats great Amon! You could actually have the potential to become a Kage level Shinobi!!!"
After Lumian snapped out of his shock, he grinned and nodded at Audrey.
. . .
Seeing their interactions, Hiruzen sighed and stood and walked towards the door.
He turned back towards Amon and Audrey.
"Since you seem to feeling well now, You can return to the academy the next day."
Hiruzen gave off one last smile that a loving elder would give you upon giving out food, and left the room.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- -- - - - - - - - - - -- - -
Audrey laughed and punched Lumian in the arm with playful gesture.
"See Amon!! You were only here for a week and you already surpassed me!!!"
Lumian shook his head and sighed. "You don't have to exaggerate my situation so much... After all, we don't actually know how good my Genjutsu is yet....."
Audrey pouted and spoke. "Fine, then tomorrow lets go to the training grounds after your class ends to test your powers!!"
Lumian looked at Audrey in shock. "You know Genjutsu?????"
Audrey stuck her tongue out in a playful gesture and scratched her head.
"He he, I know a little here and there....."
She then added a comment.
"After I come back after getting you discharged since you seemed to have recovered.... lets talk about where we'll meet up!"
Audrey stood up from the chair she was sitting on and walked up to the door.
Before she left the room, she spoke one last time with a playful tone.
"You better make it worth it! After all, I'm taking a day off from the hospital just for you! So don't disappoint me you know!!"
Then the door closed.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Lumian staring at the closed door sighed and laid down on the bed.
"You know?? Are you Naruto???"
Lumian was still registering the sudden events that just happened. Upon hearing that his Yin aspect was so high, Lumian had a theory.
"After I drank the Seer potion, my spirituality rose extremely high... After all, I gained a characteristic that has the potential of becoming a deity..... So somehow, my beyonder characteristic within my body impacted my chakra to reflect the same nature of its aspect????"
The spirituality of Chakra and Beyonders are different. After all, even though they both technically are spiritual energy, their nature is different based on the fact that their both from different universes....
In Lotm, one's spirituality was so high that even if their body's durability was building level, their spiritual energy could make them a multiversal level threat.
(If you want to know more about Lotm scaling, you can check out Light novel historian on youtube!)
So seeing how the Beyonder Characteristic is much stronger than Chakra, it sort of absorbed it and combined together??????
Lumian ended that theory in his head with a nod.
He wasn't actually to concerned about not being able to learn Ninjitsu or Taijutsu... After all if he continued with the acting method, then he could substitute them with the powers of a Beyonder.
For example, the skills of having a flexible body that the Sequence 8 Clown of the Fool pathway and Sequence 9 Marauder of the Error pathway gave him.
Or the powers that Sequence 7 Magician of the Fool pathway or sequence 8 Trickmaster of the Door pathway gave him.
Even dismissing all of that he knew all the hax that the Error pathway could give a person. In theory, he could create a glitch or error to fix this problem.....
(For new readers confused on these names, You don't have to worry about them right now.)
Lumian continued to theorize as he waited for Audrey to return.

Elsewhere: ???????????
A figure wearing an animal mask and grey vest could be seen walking down a dark hallway.
*Plip* *Plip*
The sound of water droplets could be heard as they dripped from the ceiling and fell onto the floor below.
Eventually, the figure arrived in front of wooden door.
After knocking in a specific pattern, it waited by the door.
"Enter"
The figure opened the door and a Middle aged man then was starting to grow wrinkles could be seen sitting behind a desk.
He had bandages over his right eye as they wrapped around his forehead. He had sharp eyes and an X-shaped Scar on his Chin. He was wearing a robe that separated down the middle as the right side was a black color and the left side was a white color.
The figure approached the sitting man and put a document on the desk.
"My Lord... You might want to take a look...." the figure said.
Putting down a bunch of paper he was holding, he reached out and grabbed the document.
He opened it and inside the image of a boy could be seen with a description of a name below it.
"Amon Tsuchi"
The man behind the desk narrowed his eyes and spoke.
"Oh????"

My man does not know who he's dealing with.....😭

As always please leave me any suggestions or criticizms you have with my story. It improves my writing.
Thank you and POWER STONES!!!
