Hi guys, just wanted to touch base.
Currently Primrose is the main focus, and I aim to finish it up as quickly as possible. Shinobi will be next, and I just wanted to explain what the situation is involving the reason I chose to have them teach Jutsu.
Now, as for aura not being chakra, you're right. I explicitly stated it over and over again that they were different. However, with aura being made of physical energy and Spiritual energy (as said in canon per vol1) it's not far fetched to assume that it wouldn't be impossible to teach someone to manipulate it and transform it into chakra. I think I even hinted at the ratio of Physical and Spiritual energy needed for both.
Minato teaching others is not super farfetched, and at this time he is STILL considered the child of prophecy in his own mind. As to what that entails, it's obvious that the situation presented presents the same challenges. If rogue Shinobi start forming the world may come into a danger they can't stop, and likewise the entire part of the first arc is to show that Shinobi can be...
1. Protectors.
2. Peaceful.
3. Cooperative.
4. A boonful ally.
Naruto being as powerful as he is something I can see as a turn off. At this point, however, what is done is done. I hope that this helps you understand my motives, and please keep on the lookout. Shinobi will be back before you know it!
ADD NOTE.
there'll be no Yang whoring around.
No harems.
Sorry.
ADD NOTE 2.
I WANT TO CORRECT A MISTAKE.
AURA IS MENTIONED AS "It can be compared to the real-life principle of Chi/Ki or Chakra, as used in other forms of media." in the official wiki for the anime RWBY. I, for one, apologize. However, to be fair Minato breaking it down isn't far fetched. Because that type of energy being comparable means in some aspects the mechanisms behind it are related.
Manifesting one's soul is something Naruto characters did a lot, because spiritual energy is connected directly to one's soul and mixed with physical energy allows Chakra to be born. the way Aura is utilized is often similar how Chakra can be in physical combat (Taijutsu/Kenjutsu. Etc)
I'm sorry.
