The days for the start of the Chunin Exams were running out. I spent the whole day at the Training Fields training my physical skills and testing my Fuinjutsu as a mechanism to 'replicate' something close to Ninjutsu.
I needed to exhaust my Chakra several times a day, which accelerated the growth of my reserves more consistently than before with just Taijutsu.
My reserves reached seven thousand points when I finally received one of the long-awaited visits.
Ayame knocked on my door one night.
I opened the door as always, just wearing shorts.
She blushed as always when she saw me.
When I closed the door after letting her in I saw her analyzing my apartment with curiosity.
"I'm still surprised by how organized her apartment is." – she said in a casual tone.
Her words brought a smile to my face.
My apartment was too small for me to hide any messes.
"I still have some food if you haven't had dinner" – I offered, curious about the answer.
She hadn't yet tasted my culinary talents, but knowing where she came from I doubted she hadn't eaten.
"I've already had dinner, there's no need to worry." – she said smiling at me.
I nodded accepting the answer.
"To what do I owe the pleasure of the visit?" – I asked, trying not to assume her intention.
She looked around the apartment again and then sat on her knees in front of my bed.
"I need you to clear up some doubts I have about the Celestial Body." – she declared, motioning for me to sit in front of her.
I gladly accepted the invitation.
"So how can I help?" – I asked after sitting in the lotus position.
Seeing how I was sitting she did the same.
"I'm having trouble guiding my chakra through the acupuncture points described in the technique." – she said.
I held out my hand, waiting for her to do the same.
When our hands touched, I sent my soul energy through her body trying to understand her difficulty.
"It seems that your acupuncture points are slightly blocked due to your age, most Shinobi begin training their bodies before entering the gym and we begin to circulate chakra through the acupuncture points before we reach the age of majority, but like you only started to cultivate your chakra after this period a slight obstruction is happening. As your chakra is still very small, this slight obstruction has caused more difficulties than it should have." – I explained my analysis to her.
I got up and went to the kitchen sink and took a small box from the drawer.
"I'm going to need you to take off your clothes and get into bed." – she instructs.
Ayame blushed at the prospect.
Still she obeyed, I had seen her in all the glory that came into the world previously and I did more than just observe her.
Today she was wearing a modest dress that hid her curves, underneath it she still wore the same modest type of white lingerie.
"I will use these needles on the blocked points and I will use my chakra throughout your body." – I explained to her.
Ayame understood and nodded giving consent for me to continue.
It had been a few millennia since I had needed to perform a meridian cleansing, but I had enough practice to do it with my eyes closed.
I applied thirty-six needles spread across her body, each one in one of the most obstructed acupuncture points and began to guide her chakra.
A set of acupuncture points is called a meridian, meridians are the paths that spiritual power flows, in this case I believe they are called chakra veins.
"You need to start circulating the Universal Yin-Yang Matrix, my chakra contains Yang so at the same time as I help solve your problem you can refine the Yang present in it, thus increasing your Chakra capacity." – she instructs.
Ayame nodded and closed her eyes in concentration.
Letting someone else's energy into you is too risky, but she trusted me and I wanted to help her in whatever way I could.
My chakra contains Yang, but the levels are much lower than my essence. At the end of the treatment, which will take hours, it will probably absorb enough to equal as if I had released it twice.
I slowly accelerated the speed at which her chakra passed throughout her system and with each cycle the impurities in the acupuncture points decreased.
I continued to supply chakra to her as it was consumed in this process to ensure she was able to get a full result.
It was four o'clock in the morning when I finally finished.
We were both covered in sweat and panting.
Despite having supplied her with chakra very slowly, my reserves were almost empty at this point.
I carefully removed the needles and stored them in the small box.
"Everything went well. I think it's best if you take a shower while I change the sheets on the bed." – I suggested.
Ayame, noticing the situation she was in, jumped up and ran to the bathroom to take a shower.
In addition to being embarrassed for only wearing lingerie, she was also completely sweaty, making the shame go up a notch.
I changed all the bed linen and waited for her to come back to take mine.
There was no mood tonight for us to do anything more than that.
She returned wrapped in a towel without really knowing what to do.
"Choose some of my clothes to sleep in, just open the closet and you'll find what you need." – I suggested pointing to where I kept my clothes.
"Thanks." – she whispered as she passed me.
Since it was my turn to shower, I got under the shower and scrubbed every inch of my body with soap to make sure I was clean.
When I returned she was lying on the bed wearing one of my looser shirts and covered by the sheet, so I didn't know if she had worn anything else.
I went to my closet and grabbed a new pair of shorts to wear. I placed her under the towel without showing off too much, when I turned to bed I could notice the atmosphere of relief in Ayame's expression.
I smiled, I had really nailed her personality type.
Our first night had been a fluke.
The real Ayame is the one who returned.
"We better get some sleep, the sun is about to rise." – I said, laying down on the bed.
She hesitated briefly, but then used my chest as a pillow and we both entered the world of dreams.
