TPMITWON Chapter 22: Leaf?
🕑 Added 2025-03-01 11:51:37 +0000 UTC"No! I can really feel the Chakra well now! I'm not lying!" Souta hurriedly raised his hand, trying to convince Pakura.
Pakura stared at Souta for a few seconds before finally letting out a long sigh. "...Haah... Alright," Pakura said, ultimately accepting Souta's explanation.
Even so, in Pakura's mind, she knew that Souta was not an ordinary child. No one could understand Chakra in such a short time unless they had an extraordinary natural talent.
And that made Pakura even more curious about who Souta really was.
...
...
...
Seeing the expression on Pakura's face still filled with doubt, Souta fell silent. The girl's gaze seemed to question something that couldn't be expressed in words. However, Souta didn't want to get caught in prolonged silence. So, he took a deep breath and finally decided to ask.
"Then now, tell me how to control Chakra!" Souta's voice sounded full of confidence, like someone who had determined their own path.
Pakura looked at Souta for a moment, as if assessing the seriousness within him, then finally nodded. "Alright. To be able to control Chakra, first, you must be able to feel its presence within your body. After that, you need to try to flow the Chakra throughout your body. If you manage to master this stage, then manipulating Chakra will become much easier."
Souta absorbed those words carefully before nodding enthusiastically. "So, the first step is to feel and flow the Chakra, right? Alright, I will try!"
Without wasting any time, Souta immediately sat cross-legged and began to focus his concentration. Slowly, he closed his eyes, blocking out all distractions around him. At first, Souta only felt silence. The world seemed to be still, leaving only the calm heartbeat of Souta himself pulsing in his chest.
Then, something began to be felt.
Inside Souta's body, right around his abdomen, a faint warm sensation emerged. Like a small ember hidden within him, waiting to be ignited. It was Chakra—the source of energy that is the core of a ninja's power.
Souta tried to focus on that sensation. He imagined the warmth spreading, flowing out from his abdomen like a stream of water finding its own path. However, instead of moving smoothly, the sensation felt like a lump that was held back, as if there were an invisible barrier preventing it from flowing freely.
Souta tried again, this time with more focus. Slowly, the warm feeling began to creep, crawling through the Chakra pathways in his body. First, he felt the Chakra spreading to his chest, then creeping to his arms and fingertips, before finally reaching his legs. The sensation was so real—like the flow of blood, but smoother and deeper.
Souta continued to flow the Chakra, ensuring that the energy moved steadily from the center of the Chakra, spreading throughout his body, then returning again to its starting point. This cycle continued to repeat, becoming smoother over time, like a river's flow eroding rocks as time passed.
...
...
...
An hour passed in silence.
Finally, Souta opened his eyes. His gaze was sharp, filled with satisfaction, and a bit of fatigue. He moved his fingers, feeling the warmth that still lingered there.
Pakura, who had been observing, crossed her arms in front of her chest. "How was it?" Pakura asked, her voice remaining flat, but there was a hint of curiosity hidden within.
Souta looked at the palm of his hand. Chakra was still flowing steadily within his body. He could feel it more clearly now. Souta smiled slightly. "I did it."
Pakura raised an eyebrow slightly before walking towards a nearby wall. With a light movement, she bent down and picked something up from the ground.
Souta looked at Pakura in confusion. "A leaf?"
Pakura nodded. "Yes. Now you need to place this leaf on your forehead. This is a basic exercise for controlling Chakra. If you can do it well, you can move on to the exercise of walking on walls, and then finally, walking on water."
