{A/N: it wasn't mentioned when Indra and Ashura started becoming estranged in the anime or manga so I'm making it to my liking. Also, there was no set time throughout the arc of Hagoromo, Indra, and Ashura, so don't be hating. Check the wiki if you doubt me. And any anime concept I bring to this world will not affect the world as it'll be so don't read meaning into the smallest things. There will be an immortal harem but no R-18}

It's been a little more than a year since I've been in this world, and I must say, I am not regretting a single second of it.
During this year, my relationship with Indra and Ashura has been quite brotherly if I do say so myself. We do everything together, mostly due to Ashura's insistence and Indra's of Ashura. Though that's at the beginning.
Now though, there's no reason otherwise. Early in the morning, we learn from the OG Sage himself and he helps us circulate our chakra later on.
We have combat training in which Indra always wins followed by me or Ashura as he is a stamina freak who wouldn't want to lose to anyone who isn't his dearest big brother. Admirable efforts I must say but he's still far from that.
I noticed that I have quite an adaptive body when it comes to things related to learning in general. I think it may be due to my mental age or spiritual energy being higher than most people my age so I'm always learning quite fast.
Realizing this I made sure to learn as much as I can, as I don't want to delude myself into thinking that it'll last forever. Taking the slightest bit of chance I get, I always go to meet Indra to learn anything he has to offer.
Did I forget to mention that this Ōtsutsuki family is quite familiar with making things? Just a few months ago, Indra made a new form of a knife which I know it'll be named kunai. It was a piece of art and I'm sure there are still lots where that came from.
So utilizing every single free moment I have, I go to Indra to learn whatever I can. Indra himself isn't stingy with his knowledge and always loved to teach someone something new.
It's just that recently, people have started to forget what he taught them about ninjutsu and have gone back to their former ways of only refining their spiritual and physical energy.
I on the other hand won't just let this opportunity pass me by. Learning ninjutsu from the creator himself is much more interesting than anything as of now.
With the knowledge I got from my new big brother, I also started experimenting on my own. The process is quite simple and hard at the same time.
Due to our meditation daily we rarely perform any Technique with wasted Chakra due to low Chakra control. Though I have good chakra control, I am still not at the level of Indra and his nigh-perfect control.
My experiment entails me performing a hand seal and then making chakra flow the same way over and over again without the use of the hand seal as fast as possible till it becomes a kind of muscle memory.
I was trying to skip the one-handed hand seal process and go straight to the no-hand seal. I know that as time goes on there will be techniques that will take a lot of hand seals, like the water style: water dragon bullet which needs 44 hand seals.
Though geniuses like Tobirama that will need barely one hand seal to perform the technique will surely appear.
Currently, this experiment is quite difficult, not to mention that my chakra pathways are still tender and prone to damage.
Anyway, there is a different reason I'm interested in hand seals currently, and that is because I have made up my mind to go through the cultivation route to gain my immortal body.
Iknow most of you didn't expect this, but after several months of racking my brain, I came up with only two solutions of which cultivation is the better option.
So might ask, what was the other option? Well, it's quite simple. All I need is to find any cell of a true Ōtsutsuki bloodline like Kaguya or Momoshiki and that's pretty impossible.
Why not Hagoromo? Some might ask, well he is also not a true Ōtsutsuki only half, after all his father was human and his mother, celestial.
And that brings me to cultivation. Though it will be hard, it's not impossible to achieve after all animals could do it with natural energy so why can't I?
My first point of action is to find a way to make my dantian more accommodating to natural energy without turning me to Stone or leaving my body after some time. And the answer to that may lay with hand seals
Hand seals are used to stimulate chakra and direct it outside our body, what if they can be used to draw in the energy surrounding us into our body and then stored in the dantian to continuously nourish our body as those cultivators do?
And with that thought process, I approached Indra to get an in-depth analysis of hand seals. Maybe then I can create a Cultivation technique peculiar to me and only me. Except for my descendants of course. Though understanding it will be up to them.
Those are thoughts for the future. Right now, I need to understand these hand seals and create my unique way of using them, so all I have to do is circulate my chakra in such a way that it'll attract as much natural energy to draw back to my future dantian.
Sigh. I still have a long way to go and I haven't even started sensing natural energy. I still need to focus more on my meditation training as that will be a deciding factor in how far I can go.
Meditation is a lot harder than it sounds actually. Meditation according to the Avatar: TLA reference leads you through cleansing the chakras and removing all the blockages.
The chakras are energy centers in the body and by repeatedly cleansing them you're also making it easier for your spiritual energy to flow freely.
The seven chakra points are:
Earth Chakra:
Deals with: Survival
Blocked By: Fear
Location: Base of spine
Water Chakra:
Deals with: Pleasure
Blocked By: Guilt
Location: Sacrum
Fire Chakra:
Deals with: Willpower
Blocked By: Shame
Location: Stomach
Air Chakra:
Deals with: Love
Blocked By: Grief
Location: Heart
Sound Chakra:
Deals with: Truth
Blocked By: Lies
Location: Throat
Light Chakra:
Deals with: Insight
Blocked By: Illusion
Location: Forehead
Thought (a most difficult one):
Deals with: Pure Cosmic energy
Blocked By: Earthly attachments
Location: Crown of the head
All these chakra points deal with positive emotions but are blocked by negative emotions. All I have to do is meditate on each positive aspect of life while accepting the negative parts and letting them go as Master Pathik taught Aang.
I still have a long way to go. If I am not mistaken, Hagoromo has already opened all seven of them. Knowingly or unknowingly, he has done it. And I'm sure his journey preaching Ninshu must have helped him a lot. I think it's all about living. How could I, a person who rarely socializes, know all these aspects of life?
I've decided when I am older I'll ask the old man to allow me to travel around and meet people. If I stay cooped up in this village for the rest of my life I will never achieve what I need to achieve.
But first I have lots to learn from my present family, after all, I live with this family. Though I know their life will be tragic, it's still necessary for the world to develop.
