Chapter 3: What is Chakra ?
What is Chakra ?
"Chakra is the mixture of a person's physical and spiritual energy. It is a gift that differentiate a shinobi from a civilian. By using chakra a shinobi can perform various shinobi arts. In this year we will all study the basics of chakra and chakra control. Remember that controlling your chakra is very important as it will help you performing many ninja arts more efficiently.
That is all I will tell you for now about chakra. You can always check the academy library if you want to know more. There are various books and notes written by the second and the third Hokage available there.
Of course you will learn more about chakra in your higher studies but for now we will focus on the basics."
Those were the words of our new instructor Umino Iruka. As I expected, the usage of chakra started in the second year of the academy.
But that was not the important matter anymore. My actual question is what exactly is chakra ?
From my knowledge of the anime, I knew the origin of chakra. Chakra was not present inside the people of this planet from the very beginning. Only animals from the sage lands could use them. But those were not suitable to mold and form various ninjutsu. They were using the raw energy from the planet.
Then came a few aliens.
They planted some short of strange tree that absorbs the energy from the planet. And after a series of events one of the off springs of those aliens ended up distributing the energy inside him with the mankind.
That's how chakra came to this world. Before forming my own theories, I decided to read what the elders of this village has to say about this matter.
So I went to the common library in the academy to find more about chakra. But I was disappointed.
From the journals and the books of second and third Hokage, I actually didn't find the origin or the basics of chakra. Although they have thoroughly explained different chakra natures, none of them has actually explained anything about my question.
But my search wasn't completely fruitless.
I found something more valuable than I originally thought.
'Chakra spinning exercise invented by Tobirama Senju.'
It was an incomplete technique created by the second Hokage. But from what I understood, this technique was so difficult to practice that even the second Hokage wasn't able to continue practicing it.
The exercise consisted of three phases.
The first phase was to circulate chakra through all of your tenketsu points evenly. This first step is already hard enough even for those who practice medical ninjutsu and has a great Chakra control.
The second step was to increase the circulation of Chakra and increase its speed of movement inside one's body.
The third and the final step to complete the exercise was to do it in both direction of a Chakra coil. It should be done in such a way that it will resemble spinning movement of Chakra inside the body.
Talking about all this and doing these in real life simultaneously has the difference of heaven and earth.
This exercise will increase the amount of Chakra one possess to an incredible level. It will also effect the body strenthening it. But these are only in theory as the second Hokage never tried it for long time. But for the amount of time he practiced this technique he felt and increase in amount of his Chakra reserves.
Only after I tried this exercise, I truly understand where the problem lied. This exercise needs a great amount of patience and time. And a shinobi be lacks both of them.
Especially someone grown up like Tobirama. Not to mention if someone is not compatible with meditation, then it will take a lot of mental power to concentrate on this exercise.
The amount of Chakra reserves that increases with this exercise is exponential but actually starts from very low. So noticing the difference is really difficult at first. That must be the reason why no one ever mentioned about this technique.
But as an academy student in the peaceful Times of the shinobi history I had plenty of time for myself. Patience and mental concentration was not a problem either. Not to mention after I practiced the exercise I realised that I can do multitasking.
So after discovering about the exercise my next days in the academy passed rapidly as I tried to perform this exercise almost every single chance I get to concentrate. Wheather inside the classroom, or doing homeworks and reading books on various other topics, I practiced the exercise. It only took me 4 months when I was able to do the exercise subconsciously without concentrating entirely on it.
For the first few days of practicing the exercise I realised that my appetite has increased quite a lot. While my hunger increased, I realised that my chakra reserves were increasing slightly. Not to mention, my physical condition also became better.
After six months of continuous practice and discovered a few new things about this exercise. I could actually suppress my Chakra using this exercise. I just had to get a little creative and it was easy. Suppressing Chakra was about to pull your Chakra inside your tenketsu points. And then move them smoothly without leaking any Chakra away. By practicing this exercise I could almost perfectly control my Chakra inside the tenketsu points.
So suppressing Chakra was really easy for me.
So my worries about Danzo or any other finding out nahin increased reserves were gone. They won't find anything unless they used a byakugan user.
For the first time in my new life I was really excited for something.
