Interlude One
I'd decided to reread some of the scrolls I was given, it was always better to have a deeper understanding of the knowledge I acquired. Mind you, it only benefited me, not so much for my experiments, fragile things that they were.
I brew myself a small kettle of green tea, taking it as well as a cup with me, going into the living room to read and relax.
Living and Dead Chakra: Creation and Their Uses
Researched, Performed, and Compiled By Kotimo Sosuke
Living Chakra
*Note: To store Living Chakra, you need something that is not living, such as a wooden puppet or a chair or a lamp or something. It may not seem like it will all go, but as long as it's not alive, it will.
Trust me, I know shitloads more than you do.
Shitloads.
Living Chakra (from here on abbreviated as L.C for short) is within all living things, most of it is contained in women, children and kittens for reasons unknown. The majority of L.C can be found in women and can be extracted in one of three ways: Ritual Sacrifice, Chakra Vortexes, and Waiting. Neither is for the faint of heart mind you, either of these can go wrong and backfire on you in a matter of ways.
Sacrificing can be hazardous to the health, never mind the high amount of Pure Chakra needed to just force the L.C from the coils before the victim breathes their last. Not recommended unless you are in possession of the Water of Life, a Jinchurikki, or in possession of a Greater Demon/Energy Being. Anyone who attempts this without any of these is subject to a very certain, very painful, very agonizing death.
Chakra Vortexes require very precise chakra control, the use of a medical grade clean room, and an even better knowledge of the human body's seven chakra extraction points. It helps to have knowledge of the eight gates as well, but it is not necessarily required. It is not recommended to use this method if you are an imbecile. Granted, almost everyone is an imbecile when compared to my intelligence, but that is besides the point. If you are an imbecile who has managed to get his or her hands on this scroll, and you use this method, you will die, plain and simple.
Waiting is the final method. And by far the simplest if I do say so myself, although it is terribly, terribly, terribly, irrevocably slow. It merely requires a Pure Chakra drip (more on Pure Chakra in chapter 70-B), an unwilling/willing participant with a very low pain tolerance, and you shouldn't be impatient. Of course if you are then I wouldn't have given the scroll to you in the first place. And, if you've stolen this scroll from me, then the hidden lightning seals in it should be frying your ass right…about...nowish.

Okay! So, assuming you aren't a smoking lump of human charcoal and are still with me…? Cool! Now, onto Chapter 1.
Chapter One
Ritual Sacrifice
*Note: Using this method, Pure Chakra will manifest itself in your body automatically. WoL converts it, Jinchurikki and Greater Demons/Energy Beings are nothing but P.C.
This is 'not' standard ritual sacrifice. There are no goat killings, women raping, or prayers to Satan, etc, etc.
No, this is pretty abnormal, even for me.
But, as I stated above, do not do this without access to the Water of Life or a Greater Demon/Energy Being. Also, if you are a Jinchurikki, feel free to go nuts.
Otherwise: YOU WILL DIE A VERY PAINFUL DEATH, CAPISCHE?
I just don't want anyone haunting me. I hate ghosts.
They're always moaning and rattling chains and wanting to take you to the past and the future for Christmas and shit. It's annoying.
Anyway...this is the quickest method for LC extraction.
First Step: Get your victim.
Second Step: Strap them down.
Third Step: Bring the wrath of hell upon their punk ass. Torture them in a myriad of creative ways, but don't kill them, just act like it. Bring up their fear as high as possible, this brings out the will to live and with that comes L.C, got me?
Fourth Step (only if you have the WoL, otherwise, skip to Five and beyond): Take five teaspoons of the Water of Life as you'll be expending at least 100 years off of your original life span. Gather up your own chakra and force every last drop of it into them, this should force the L.C from their coils (upon which time they'll die) and you should have just enough time to place it into a wooden construct before you collapse for the next month or so.
Yeah...make sure you won't be missed if you decide to use WoL.
Fifth Step (for Jinchurikki and those in possession of Greater Demon/Energy Being): First off, if you've managed to actually capture a GD/EB and trick it into helping you, I fucking applaud you, you're a goddamned genius, keep it up.
-at this point there is a small chakra animated picture of a furiously laughing Sosuke-
Whoo, that was a great laugh...yeah, I was being sarcastic, fucktard. If you have managed to get one though, good for you, but expect whatever payment it asked of you (that I'm quite certain you didn't take the time to confirm and read into for loopholes) will be slow and painful, thus you won't be able to use the chakra anyway. But, assuming you aren't a complete idiot, you're gonna do the same thing as in Step Four. Y'know, gather your chakra, force it into the victim, etc, etc.
You shouldn't collapse, especially if you're using a GD/EB, although you might be significantly drained of energy for a few days if you are a Jinchurikki.
But yeah, that's how you do that method.
I reinterate once more: DO NOT USE IF STUPID!
I hate ghosts and will have you exorcised, dammit!
I put the scroll down and resist the urge to laugh, Sosuke was such an interesting man. Humorous, sarcastic, acerbic, but interesting. Ah, next chapter...I wanted to finish before Anko got home from helping her friend Kurenai train her students so that I could have time to finish lunch. Cucumber and chicken sandwiches, a nice vichyssoise, and some lemonade would be nice.
In fact, I should start the soup and lemonade now so that it can be chilling in the refrigerator before noon.
I chop up raw potatoes, onions, and leeks, pushing the lot into the blender with a bit of milk, and put a large Dutch oven filled with chicken stock, milk, butter and cream on the stove to boil. Seasoned with salt and pepper of course. I add the pureed potato mix into the pot and leave it to boil for another hour or so.
I fill another pot full of two quarts of water, adding in twenty sliced Meyer lemons that would be made into candy later, and two cups of sugar, leaving that to heat slowly for the next half hour or so.
Now, back to my reading...
Chapter Two
Chakra Vortexes
**Note: Once again, if you are an idiot...you know what? At this point, I don't even give a shit. If you've ignored my warnings up to this point, you deserve to die.
Fucking retard.
Chakra Vortexes don't require a whole lot of chakra. In fact, this method requires little to no chakra to be honest. All you are really doing is opening the seven extraction points (and the 3rd Gate: Life Gate) to siphon their L.C.
The only thing is, you have to have absolutely perfect chakra control to do so. You are essentially tearing a hole into their system and tearing out the L.C. It isn't a difficult process if you have perfect control.
You simply layer your hand with a thin sheen of chakra, pressing onto each of the seven points in this order:
Muladhara: The Base Chakra, located in the region between the genitals and the anus.
Svadhisthana: The Sacral Chakra, located in the sacrum.
Manipura: The Solar Plexus Chakra, pretty self-explanatory.
Anahata: The Heart Chakra, again, huh durr.
Vishuddha: The Throat Chakra, seriously? Do I need to explain that one?
Ajna: The Brow Chakra. -.-;
Sahasrara: The Crown Chakra, on the top of the head, numbnuts. How you will ever reproduce is beyond me. You'll end up fucking her urethra by mistake. Good job, you just gave your lover a bladder infection, ruptured peehole syndrome, and a fear of sex with any and all men ever again! I'm so proud son, you've become a true dumbass now. -sniff-
Now, after you've opened them all, your victim should be pretty much catatonic, so go on and touch the Life Gate, which is also located where the Heart chakra extraction point is, if not slightly to the left. You'll be rewarded with a blinding flash of light and possibly a pounding headache for a few days, but hey, you'll have your L.C within the hour.
Now, the whole clean room thing I was talking about? Yeah, you need one of those. You also need to make sure nothing is in the room with you, no animals, assistants, nothing. Absolute sterility is imperative. Anything that disturbs the environment (other than you and the subject and enters the vortexes you are opening will rip you and your subject to shreds in a matter of seconds. That, or suck you into an alternate dimension.
Yeah.
Be careful, you scrotal sack.
It's very possible to kill yourself and everything in a twenty-mile radius with this method.
….So make absolutely sure you're nowhere near me when you decide to commit suicide and fuck it up.
I smile as I finish reading over my most preferred method for Living Chakra extraction. I put the scroll down once more, going to check on the lemonade, which is finished. I fish the lemons out with a slotted spoon, dumping them in a bowl filled with sugar and covering it with a paper towel, I would make my candy later. I slowly pour the lemonade into a pitcher, scraping what little sugar remains in the bottom of the pot in as well before stirring it and placing it in the refrigerator to cool.
The soup has come to a rolling boil but upon tasting it I can see that the potato puree has not fully cooked yet, so I toss in a bit more salt and pepper; leaving it to finish cooking.
It was now 10:15am. I would start on the sandwiches after the soup finished, they would take little time to fix.
In the meanwhile, back to my reading.
Chapter Three
Waiting
Last method is pretty straightforward and so simple that a brain-dead limbless monkey could do it, so I'm not gonna bother with the sarcasm here. Although if you are a brain-dead limbless monkey and you're reading as well as comprehending this, then that's pretty goddamned awesome.
Anyway, hook up a P.C drip (made by mixing normal chakra and L.C together then placing it into an I.V, it does the rest.) to your subject. Then start plucking hairs out of their head. When you finish the head, move on to all other hairy areas until they're completely bald.
Yeas, this 'is' very time-consuming, try and get an already bald person since there can be no roots to their hair with this method.
Next, break some bones. Doesn't matter which ones, you're just trying to get their fear up. Then, play lots of scary mind games.
When they scream for you to "just kill me" or piss themselves, then kill them.
Finally, cut off the top of their skull so that the brain is exposed and wait.
And wait….
And wait….
And wait….
You'll be waiting anywhere from six months to three years depending on the amount in your subject. If you do decide to use this method, I recommend obtaining more than one subject. Also, it's boring.
So bring a paddle ball or a ninja game-boy.
Anyway, those are my methods for extracting L.C!
I'm sure if you're not an idiot then you'll come up with more, feel free to add them in, I wouldn't mind reading it.
I lay the scroll down, finished for the moment, picking up my now empty cup of tea and heading back into the kitchen to place it into the sink. The soup has finished cooking so I remove the pot, emptying the contents into a large ceramic bowl before placing it into the refrigerator to chill. I still had an hour before Anko would return home so I check and find that the lemonade has cooled quite nicely. It would take at least forty-five minutes for the soup to chill properly, and fifteen to prepare a tray of sandwiches. I decide to make the sandwiches now, spreading a generous amount of cream cheese onto each slice of bread, using with four cucumber slices per sandwich with light amounts of salt and pepper before cutting them into triangles and arranging them neatly on the tray, placing it in the refrigerator as well.
Thirty minutes until Anko returned, I would take a short walk and return in fifteen, just in time to serve lunch. She was always punctual and I hated making her wait.
A/N: This is just a little insight into Living Chakra, feel free to expand upon it if you wish or use it in your own stories, just credit me. I'd love to see different takes on this. LITM will have a new chapter within the next week or so. The next interlude will be a ways off since I have not introduced Dead Chakra into the story fully as of yet.
