Another question, even if I'm already the one with the most questions in this topic.
Is manifesting the purest form of an Aeon, like Sayuri forming the White Flame, something that takes humongous amounts of Chakra? Or is it as natural as breathing?
Speaking of which: ARE there similar manifestations for Aeons other than Destruction? If so, what are they like?
Edit: and another: what would a sane Mayuri do if she went to another universe and met Wilbur Whateley? (LOL. I just had to ask that.)
Alright, time for a thought experiment.
We work under the assumption that chakra, like all energy, can be quantized. What we call "raw chakra" is thus an aggregation of innumerable quanta of chakra. These quanta come in four different forms, which we'll call C, E, D and N. Most creatures and things have only the first three types, and so does their "raw chakra", which is then a mixture of these three types of quanta at whatever ratio one's body naturally develops. In fact, a perfect mixture of equal parts C, E and D is extremely rare, as most creatures have a natural bias towards one of the three.
"Nature recomposition", then, is the "refinement" of one's "raw chakra" into a ratio that matches a specific "System" and given a specific form by conscious will. For example (and this is really just an example pulled out of my ass, not actual setting material; I didn't go around juggling numbers when I designed this setting), let's say a "Fire jutsu" requires chakra with at least 70% D-quanta. However, "Jinton jutsu" may require at least 65%. So if it came to just "refining" the ratio of quanta in one's chakra, any Katon user should be able to use Jinton as well (which, in the Sayumayu setting, is true). The reason there are far less Jinton users than Katon users is that "Molecular disassembly by microscopic application of erosional forces" is a far more complex expression of the underlying principle of "Destruction" than "Fire", so it is just as complex to command your mixture of C, E and D quanta to do precisely that.
Note that this means that, for people like Sayuri, who are so attuned to a specific Aeon than their "raw chakra" already has a majority of a given type of quantum, unleashing basic manifestations of that Aeon is a matter of pure will. Sayuri's raw chakra is already at a suitable ratio for "Fire", so she just has to will it to "do firey stuff".
So for example, let's say Sasuke the Genin uses a Grand Fireball Technique (GBT), which costs a hypothetical "10 units of chakra". It's a fire jutsu, so (if we use the bullshit numbers from earlier) 7 of those 10 units will be D-quanta. Those are D-quanta which come from Sasuke's own body, so it could happen that, if he goes pyro-happy, he might run out of GBTs even before he runs out of chakra, simply because he's out of D.
Which leads to the White Flame. This is the purest manifestation of "Destruction" in Reality. This means, of course, >99% D-quanta. Basically, a Great Fireball Technique made of White Flame would still cost "10 units of chakra", of which at least 9.9 are D-quanta. So a hypothetical Sasuke that could use the White Flame would run out of White Flame GBTs even faster.
This could easily lead to another ramble on "what makes Sayuri special, then?", but this post is already long enough.
