Chapter 6: Becoming Tower Heir

"So let me get this straight, first you guys rescued me from Danzo, then we came on the Divine Mage Tower, and apparently all this happened because I am the supposed heir of this tower.

But aren't we missing some important things, like how am I the heir, or like how can this tower move? And from your description, I can only guess we are in the Land of Whirlpools.

Oh, you also didn't elaborate on my spirit restoration or whatever that was, just telling me the name doesn't really count as an explanation you know."

This time, instead of Celia, Violet answered, "Master, I am the first celestial, Violet and I am in charge of the Spirit Restoration Chamber, Anima Recreandi. Because your spirit was on the verge of collapse that night, we decided to use the chamber to heal your spirit, this also helped in improving your spirit quality and strength. That is why you were able to access your mind-space so easily."

"Woah, awesome! so it can be used anytime?"

"No master, it can only be used by the Tower Master or the Tower Heir, and after a certain time, it does not affect them just like in your case, your spirit has been nourished in these four years and the quality of your spirit has become extremely pure and also the strength has reached the point where it cannot be improved just by nourishing in the chamber.

But the chamber does provide a calming effect and a good environment to learn spiritual techniques."

"Oh, so my spirit has already reached that level, but there must be a cost, right?"

"You don't have to worry about that, our tower is richest in terms of resources, and apart from locomotive functions which encountered some problems due to our search for you, we are pretty well off." This time it was Red who interrupted in a bubbly voice but the contents were pretty explosive for Max or Aurelius.

The other seven women also slapped their heads. This sister of theirs had some serious problems with her head.

"So you mean to say apart from this tower, we have other towers, ours is the richest, and you have been searching for me. Can you tell me more about it?"

"Of course master," Red puffed up her chest and just as she was about to explain more, others covered her mouth.

"Sorry Master, it's not that we can't tell you but it is for your own good that we wouldn't tell you. At right time when you have reached the level of Archmage, only then we will tell you, and it is our request to you to not force us."

"Well, it doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't affect me in the near future?"

"Yes master"

"Fine, first of all stop calling me 'Master', you can call me Max, Aurelius or whatever you like."

"Sure, Aurelius" replied Celia. She was ready to shed this distance and become closer to Aurelius and this is one of her ways to achieve this.

Aurelius smiled and then made some interpretations from all that he could derive and presented them to Celia and the rest of the Celestials. He only asked for their confirmation on his theories and that too if they were ready to provide one. He will not force them and he already liked these girls, at least they seemed to care about him and it's not like he can do anything. He just decided to remain extra vigilant during these days.

"So, first, You all know about my previous life and after dying I came to Naruto world. But somehow I found out that I am heir to some Divine Mage Tower, and this is related to my soul or my True Name, if my guess is correct, in one of my previous life I was either the Tower Master or this Tower's heir, right?" Aurelius asked but got no response from them, and he can only sigh at this.

"This mage business or this Magic that you talk about, it is different from chakra, that is inside my body, right?" "Yes Aurelius"

"And if I have to guess, the Natural Energy present in the atmosphere should be the so called Mana, right?"

"Brilliant, that's why you are the Tower Heir."

Aurelius's had a wry smile on his face, 'What brilliance, I just watched Naruto anime and made some deductions, and this spirit restoration that helps me in keeping calm, where is my brilliance.'

"Did you have a background check on my family in this world?"

"No Aurelius, we didn't, we have been here for last four years, apart from you no one else is of any significance, and since you remember your last life, we thought it should not be important to look for your current family."

"Well, no you are right, it doesn't matter now. I will start fresh now, hope my sisters have also moved on so my sacrifice wouldn't be in vain."

"Fine, now that you know I have chakra, you should also know that I can't use Natu... mana, and I am already blind, so it will be even more difficult to ..." Aurelius wanted to say that he might not become the mighty Tower master that they were expecting him to become. But Orange interrupted him in time.

"Don't worry master, I am Orange and I look after Corpus Melioratorium, it helps in body restoration and tempering, just like in case of spirit restoration, but since you have chakra inside your body it will take some time but in two years, it will be able to remove all the impurities in the body. Ahh, but first let's treat your eyes, so that you can at least improve your knowledge and study the theoretical aspects of magic, unless your body becomes fit to draw in mana."

"Of course there will be something like that. Fine, let's do that first, I also want to see you all."

"Umm, before that, we have to confirm your position as Tower Heir otherwise you won't be able to use that chamber."

"Ok, but I thought I was already the Tower Heir, and if not then how did I use the previous chamber?"

"Oh, you are Aurelius, but Tower needs to recognize you, you don't have to worry, the Tower only needs to hear your True Name from your soul essence and it will be enough for it recognize you, but please don't ask any more questions, as we don't want to reveal any more information. Please Aurelius, this is our only request." Celia's tone was sincere and Aurelius was also convinced from the sincerity, and he refrained asking any of the multiple questions that formed in his mind.

"Fine let's do that, where should I do that and what do I have to do" asked Aurelius in a resigned tone, he doesn't like mysteries, especially those related to himself.

"We just have to go to the Ritual Chamber, and you don't have to anything, once we start the test for Tower Heir, the Tower will itself check for your heirship and announce the result based on it's findings."

"Cool, so let's get on with this."
