Return and How to Proceed

MCPOV

After about 5 Days we returned to Border town in the evening. I decided against going out of the way to return a little faster as I could avoid all people using my perception through natural energy. "Theo, Go replace the flag." I said as we got to the top of a hill near the town.

"Got it"

"What's that for?" Ashes asked, wondering what we were doing.

"When Theo returned he was supposed to replace the flag in order to let the witches know that he is back. We could just walk right into the town but I decided against it as they don't know I'm gone. Also, you probably wouldn't travel any further if you didn't see another witch."

"You are correct about that. How long will we wait?" She asks me.

"Probably half an hour to an hour."

"Ok" She replied before looking at Theo. "Food"

"Ahh, yes." He replies before pulling out a piece of dried meat, breaking it in half, tossing some in his mouth, then tossing the rest to her. He did this as even after they had traveled for nearly a week, she still didn't trust them.

After about 45 minutes Nightingale, Scroll, and Percy were seen coming out of the Shadows. Ashes immediately could tell they were witches.

"Hello, My name's Ashes. It's a pleasure to meet some sisters from the Witch cooperation Association."

"I'm Nightingale, this is Scroll and Percy." She replied

"Extraordinaries?" Ashes questioned as she sensed the Mana coming from their bodies. 'How do they even know that term? The Church keeps a tight hold on the information of them to the point that only the higher ups know.

"Yes, It seems you are as well." Scroll replied before looking at Shu. "We were wondering where you disappeared to. It seems you went off to meet up with these two."

"Yeah, I figured that inviting Ashes here blind would be a little rude so I decided to just give them a heads up on what they should expect. Anyways, lets head back. I haven't gotten good sleep in a few days."

"Alright" Nightingale replied before turning to Ashes. "Follow me, I'll introduce you to the other sisters."

We then went back to town and as they walked into the castle Wendy came up and hugged Ashes as she remembered her saving her life years ago. They had a touching reunion where Wendy spoke of how Roland treats the witches which surprised Ashes as this was not who she remembered him to be.

A few days passed and she eventually dueled Carter to test the strength of the firearms and ended up losing as we had finished production far earlier than expected as we had invited Kyle Sichi earlier than in the original story. This gave Carter more time to practice with the revolver and he was prepared enough to accurately hit her in the leg just before she knocked the dust into the air. This slowed her down enough for him to incapacitate her which ended the fight.

While this has been going on I have been trying to learn more about the different abilities I have in order to strengthen them. I have been focusing on the chakra points in my body. Ever since i defeated the mad demons and gained there magic power my body has gained an extra 'gate' as we know from the 8 inner gates there are two gates in the head while there are 5 gates going from the top of your spine down to below your stomach then it loops up and connects to the gate of death near your heart, however after I defeated the two demons I have gained an extra 'gate' on the opposite side of my chest which loops back into the 7th gate before allowing my energy to head back through the gates.

Normally the eight inner gates represent the pain for you to push through and the sacrifice to obtain your power. However if I am truly able to loop my energy into a cycle, then the eight inner gates won't rush my vitality all into a few attacks but cycle it through my body to overall strengthen myself. However I have a feeling that once I make this change it could affect me permanently so I have been waiting to go through it as unless i can reverse the changes this will do to my body then I will be stuck this way forever. I don't even want to imagine being stuck in an endless cycle of pain with how tenacious my vitality is. The energy I would gain could constantly rip through my body and the Pain I gain from this could render me braindead.

This doesn't stop me from messing with my 9 gates. In this world the magic power will take a form to represent itself. There are Fire, Earth, Water, Air, Lightning, Light(Which also represents Yang), Dark(Which represents Yin), Space, and Time. If I can apply these 9 aspects and from the knowledge I gain from Roland I will be able to increase my understanding of their concepts. Then I will be able to flawlessly use these 9 elements without needing hand seals.

I also need to make sure these Aspects are oriented in the correct gate. Space and time are normally used together and they complement each other extremely well so they should reside in the same organ. This means that they should reside inside the Brain. Space should go first and time should go Second as without space there is no time. Although Fire would go perfectly in the heart, I need to make sure I achieve a balance which means the 5 elements have to be located between the top of my spine and my lower stomach. This leaves light and dark, Light should replace fire in my Heart in order to represent Life while darkness will go opposite of it in the new gate representing death.

Lightning is similar to plasma and light which puts it at the 7th gate. Wind should go in the 6th as it can nullify the 7th. The same goes with Fire in the 5th, Water in the 4th, and lastly Earth in the 3rd. I do this as after space and time Gravity is needed. Earth normally represents The ground and Gravity so having Earth before the rest of the elements is the best option as well as having it after Space and time since Gravity is what affects both of them.

Now this new order will go from space - time - earth - water - fire - wind - lightning - light(Life and Yang) - Dark(Death and Yin). Then it goes back into Lightning while some of the energy travels back through the 5 elements into space and time, The rest goes back into Life representing a rebirth from death. Because of this final Point I am calling this the Origin Phoenix Formation.

"Congratulations on Creating the Origin Phoenix Formation - EX. You may Pick a reward from the system."

'Wait, why is it EX?' I questioned as I knew that EX meant beyond the limits of the world.

'It was created using the Abilities of 2 different worlds so it would obviously be ranked above it.' Ayame Replied while rolling her eyes.

'I didn't know that was possible, I thought that I could only have EX if I entered a lower ranked world with SSS stats.'

'Nope, You can exceed the limits of a world. However, the people in it cannot. This is also why your current stats are different then they were in the Naruto world'

'Well that's nice to know, I should check my status after this.. Anyway, what's up with these rewards?'

'You seem to be able to pick between three items'
