TPMITWON Chapter 21: Back to Practicing Feeling Chakra

At one point, something inexplicable began to emerge. A warm sensation. But this was not the usual warmth like sunlight touching the skin. It was a warmth that flowed in the air, faint yet real, like the pulse of life vibrating around.

Souta jolted. His eyes widened.

"Haah... Haah..." Souta's breath suddenly became irregular. His chest felt tight, as if something was pressing against his body from all sides. Souta's heart raced, and sweat began to trickle down his temples. That warm sensation... felt strange. Comfortable, yet at the same time suffocating.

Noticing the sudden change, Pakura quickly stepped closer with a concerned expression.

"Are you okay?" Pakura asked, squinting her eyes, trying to find signs of distress in Souta.

Souta swallowed, then tried to regulate his breathing. "No... I'm fine," Souta replied, although his face still showed confusion. "But... does this warm feeling always appear when someone tries to feel the chakra in the air?"

Pakura paused for a moment, then nodded. "Yes. That is the life energy flowing around you. Chakra is not just something that exists within the body, but also flows from living beings around you."

Souta frowned. "So... the chakra in the air actually comes from the people or living beings nearby?"

"Exactly," Pakura said. "For example, me, or the small animals around you. Their chakra doesn't just disappear; it continues to pulse like gentle waves."

Souta began to understand, but still felt something was off. That warm sensation felt like a gentle pull from various directions, as if Souta was surrounded by an invisible current touching his skin. The more Souta focused, the more he began to realize that the warmth did not come from the air itself, but from small points surrounding him.

And then, Souta realized something.

Near him, there was a stronger source of chakra—Pakura. A calm life light, flowing with a steady rhythm. But there were also small points of chakra scattered around Souta. He concentrated and finally noticed that they came from hidden small creatures—a mouse behind a rock, a bird perched on a distant branch, and even tiny insects resting in the grass.

Their chakra was subtle, small, but real.

Time passed unnoticed. Souta spent a full two hours just getting accustomed to the energy flowing in the air. In the process, Souta also realized something even more intriguing.

Inside Souta's own body, right in the center of his abdomen, there was something that felt like a small fire gently flickering. That was Souta's own chakra.

If the chakra in the air felt like a gentle wind spreading in all directions, then the chakra within Souta's body felt like a flame swirling steadily. Hot, but controlled. Strong, but not wild.

This difference made Souta even more curious. The world of Naruto... this world truly had extraordinary wonders. Souta wanted to learn more about how chakra worked, how to control chakra, and how to strengthen his body using chakra more effectively.

After spending quite some time understanding all of this, Souta finally opened his eyes and looked at Pakura. A wide smile spread across his face.

"Did you succeed?" Pakura asked, her expression slightly confused.

Souta nodded confidently. "Yes, I succeeded."

Pakura looked at him with suspicion. "Only in two hours?"

"Only in two hours," Souta replied without hesitation.

A wrinkle appeared on Pakura's forehead. "Are you lying that you couldn't feel chakra all this time?" Pakura's tone sounded cold, as if she felt she had been played by Souta.
