ASFUCITWON Chapter 156: The Possible Reason Chakra Exists in Animals
🕑 Added 2025-03-19 11:57:30 +0000 UTCChakra is like an invisible river current, connecting all living things into an invisible whole.
However, there is one question that continues to bother Reiji—how is it possible that animals and plants also have Chakra?
Let's start with animals.
In the past, before Hagoromo Otsutsuki spread the teachings of Chakra, animals had no understanding of Chakra.
They lived in harmony with the world, relying solely on instinct and instinct.
However, even though they do not have Chakra, it does not mean that they do not have energy.
Take the toads of Mount Myoboku for example.
Mount Myoboku is not just a place for ordinary toads—this mountain is a point where natural energy flows so rapidly, enveloping every creature that lives within it.
The toads there do not use Chakra, but they understand something more fundamental—Natural Energy.
Natural Energy flows like a gentle, yet powerful river.
It seeped into every pore of the soil, blended with the roots of the trees, and filled the air that the mountain dwellers breathed.
The toads who lived there did not need to be taught how to use it—they felt it, breathed it, and naturally absorbed it into their bodies.
However, when Hagoromo began to spread the teachings of Chakra, something happened.
Slowly, the concept of Chakra began to spread, not only among humans but also among other creatures.
Animals that had been accustomed to Natural Energy began to develop an understanding of Chakra.
Perhaps it was after Hagoromo's encounter with Gamamaru, the Great Toad Sage, that the toads of Mount Myōboku began to understand and learn how to use Chakra.
From there, the understanding of Chakra spread to other creatures, until eventually the animals of this world began to have Chakra in their bodies.
Now, what about plants?
Plants are more mysterious than animals.
They do not move, they do not speak, and they do not show signs of consciousness like humans or animals.
However, if we trace the origin of Chakra, we will find something interesting—the Divine Tree.
The Divine Tree is the starting point of Chakra’s existence in this world.
A towering giant tree, its roots gripping the ground like the hands of a god embracing the world.
Its leaves whisper in silence, holding secrets untold.
It was from this tree that the Chakra Fruit first emerged.
And if the beginning of Chakra itself came from a tree, then it makes sense that the plants in this world also have a certain amount of Chakra.
Unlike humans or animals who can actively use Chakra, plants may only store and channel Chakra within themselves.
Like how tree roots absorb water and channel it throughout the stems and leaves.
On a smaller scale, this may be why certain herbs have stronger healing effects than others—because they contain more natural Chakra in their tissues.
However, there is one more mystery that must be explained.
How could the Fūinjutsu that Reiji created possibly absorb Chakra from the air?
The answer is simple—Chakra is always present in the air, even if only in small amounts.
A sensory ninja can detect the presence of others not because they see or hear them, but because they sense traces of Chakra seeping out of their bodies.
Every living creature, whether human, animal, or plant, naturally releases a small amount of Chakra into its surroundings.
This is not something that is done intentionally, but rather something that occurs naturally, just like how the human body releases body heat even though they are not aware of it.
Ordinary humans, who are not trained as ninja, may not be able to control their Chakra, but that does not mean they do not have Chakra.
Even when they are at rest, Chakra is slowly seeping out of their bodies, spreading into the air in small, almost imperceptible amounts.
