Eternally Peerless Monk

is a heightened state of awareness conceptualized and employed by Akuhyō. The truth of nature can be understood from how the natural world around us possess qualities of both yin which is the spiritual energy that governs imagination that can be used to create form out of nothingness and yang which is based on the physical energy that governs vitality and life. The rhythms of the world flow from day to night, from sun to moon. The tides rise, and they fall. When the world reaches the point where there is too great of balance, when the world around use has reached a state of peace, great natural disasters arise to resort chaos, and by the time the dead have settled, the world is once again at a state of order. In this sense, Akuhyō believes heavily in destiny, for while all individuals must find their own path in this world, they will eventually experience both balance and chaos, no one person ever being without either throughout their life.

Appearance
Akuhyō’s normal nirvana-esque appearance is slightly altered when he uses this state which is not unusual for most techniques within the same field. His normal outfit ascends towards a more golden hue which is reflected in the aura around him. His necklace consisting of prayer beads shatter and disintegrate into a golden dust that trails with the howling wind that accompanies the flow energy around Akuhyō. Another startling trait is his voice which has a disembodied and etheric tone attached to it. Though not visible in the transformation, Akuhyō’s confidence transcends from an immaterial force to one that you could feel. The sensation resembles an inviting and passionate ambient sunset that peacefully removes the stress from your mind and body. Near the transformations end, Akuhyō will manifest two orbs that embody the uncontaminated aspects of yin and yang respectively or rather chaos and order. The two spheres hover behind Akuhyō just slightly above posterior deltoids.

Attributes
Balance and Chaos are maintained through qi, which is the "energy flow" of the universe. In terms of the traditional shinobi, this energy is to readily understood as being chakra, the combination of spiritual or mind energy alongside physical energy, something that is innate within all living things. However, the truth is that energy appears in many forms, and there are strengths of separate energy forms that chakra does not account for. However, while there are differences between Qi and chakra, there are also many similarities. Nothing living can survive without chakra, but once more this chakra cannot be without motion, for the universe it within a constant state of ebb and flow. This is the qi, the "energy flow", and at all times the qi must be maintained, or else the world falls into utter chaos. If the qi is ever stopped within a person, that person dies. This is what the fleetingly etheric orbs behind Akuhyo dictate and this is what his transformation represents. The aspects of one being without the other clearly explained but in a state where neither exist is what Akuhyo calls nirvana. It is a state to where he does not desire love or war, chaos or harmony, joy or sorrow etc., in short he does not desire anything. In short this is the embodiment of the Second Noble Truth. Desire in itself is a complexity but there are aspects of it that can be contemplated and removed.

For example, the human body is in a dual state of harmony, chaos and as result of the two, it achieves a state of balance. However, even though the body maintains this state, the concept of desire still plagues it. The body wants to progress, the body desires to live and as your vessel, you also hold these same desires but do not think negatively of them. Stating that you want to get rid of desire is in fact desire itself. Desire is not what we are but it is the way we tend to react out of ignorance when we have not understood these Four Noble Truths in their three aspects.

Abilities
As mentioned before, the two orbs signify yin and yang, balance and order, darkness and light. You cannot experience one without experiencing the other. The orbs will express desire to follow Akuhyo's mental commands and will protect him in his best interest. The black orb generates the spiritual energy the resides within us all. During combat, this orb will change it's shape via all things in nature" (森羅万象, Shinra Banshō) akin to the Truth-Seeking Ball.
