TPMITWON Chapter 29: Chakra Control Practice Walking on the Wall

That moment brought a unique sense of pride for Souta, but he knew that this was just the beginning of everything.

Now, Souta faced a new challenge: adding one more leaf.

At first glance, adding one leaf might seem like a minor, insignificant change, but in reality, this practice changed everything. With just one leaf, Souta's attention and chakra only needed to be focused on a single point. However, with two leaves, Souta's focus had to be divided, and it was much harder than he had anticipated. Souta's concentration often broke, causing one of the leaves to fall before he could realize his mistake.

...

...

...

Ten days passed, and despite trying his hardest, Souta could only maintain five leaves for one hour. This was far from his initial target of wanting ten leaves. A sense of disappointment briefly enveloped Souta, but he did not let that failure stop him. He took a deep breath, reminding himself that this was all part of the process.

After completing the leaf exercise, Souta moved on to a more difficult stage: walking on the wall of his house.

Souta thought this practice would be easier after successfully controlling his chakra with the leaves, but he was very wrong. Walking on the wall not only demanded precise chakra control but also required perfect physical strength and balance.

On his first attempt, Souta could barely stick his foot to the wall before he fell straight down.

Thud!

Souta's body hit the sandy floor of his room, creating a loud noise. He groaned, feeling pain in his back, but he did not give up. He tried again. And again.

However, the results remained the same.

As the night grew later, Souta's failures continued to repeat. Every time he tried to stick his chakra to the wall, he would lose his balance and then fall with a thud.

Pakura, who lived in the next room, finally lost her patience.

"Souta! You're so noisy! Are you trying to be a ninja or are you trying to destroy this house?! It's late, stop making noise!"

Souta, still sitting on the floor, could only laugh awkwardly. He knew very well that he was indeed making a racket. With a embarrassed face, Souta could only apologize repeatedly to Pakura.

They were both orphans from Sunagakure, and now, after being declared passed the Ninja Academy entrance exam, they were placed in a simple two-story apartment. On the second floor, there were only two rooms—one for Souta and one for Pakura. It felt strange, as the first floor was left empty without any occupants, as if this apartment was indeed only provided for the two of them.

Although the room they lived in had the typical sandy floor of Sunagakure that helped muffle sound, the noise from his body hitting the ground repeatedly could not be completely eliminated. It was no wonder Pakura felt disturbed and eventually scolded Souta.

...

...

...

Ten days had passed since Souta began practicing walking on the wall. He had fallen countless times, his body covered in bruises and small cuts from the impacts. However, there was one thing he realized—chakra control was everything.

Now, Souta was able to stay on the wall for one minute while walking. Although it seemed trivial, this was a significant advancement for Souta.

When he first managed to walk a few steps on the wall without falling immediately, he could hardly contain his pride. With heavy breaths and sweat trickling down his temples, the corners of Souta's mouth lifted into a smile.

However, Souta knew that one minute was not enough. He needed to be able to last longer.

...

...

...

Time continued to pass. In the last ten days before the Academy started, Souta maintained a strict training regimen.

Every morning, Souta began his day with physical training—running around the apartment area, doing push-ups, sit-ups, and various other exercises to improve his body strength.
