Chapter 20 - History of Chakra

"Child, can you ponder how living beings originally came to utilize chakra?" He posed the question to his son, and observed Aska for his reaction. However, Aska wearing a bewildered expression, continued to scratch his head.

Noticing his son's puzzled look, he pressed on, "Child, initially none of the living beings on this planet could utilize chakra. Do you know why?"

Upon hearing his father's question, Aska's confusion grew, and he inquired, "Father, why is that?"

"Because, at that time, chakra simply didn't exist on this planet."

This revelation left Aska flabbergasted, prompting him to ask once more, "Father, then what happened to the chakra? Where did chakra go?"

"Child, chakra never left this place."

"Never left? What do you mean by that, father?"

"Child my meaning is simple, chakra was not present on this planet from the beginning."

Upon hearing this, Aska grasped his father's meaning and inquired, "father than where did chakra came from?"

"My child, our planet didn't have any chakra, but suddenly, our planet became saturated with boundless chakra like it was present from the beginning of this planet."

Aska grew even more perplexed and questioned, "Father, how did chakra suddenly appear out of nowhere?"

He solemnly told his son, "I have no idea how chakra appeared on our planet seemingly out of nowhere."

Aska acknowledged his father's words with a nod of understanding.

He continued "Aska, now you already understand that chakra didn't exist before, so both human and wild animals were unable to use chakra and lived like ordinary beings."

He looked at his son, and Aska nodded in acknowledgment.

"Child, do you know what happened to all living beings once chakra unexpectedly manifested on our planet?"

"What happened, father?"

"Every living being on our planet began to undergo a transformation."

"Transformation? What do you mean by that father?" Aska inquired, with a puzzled expression.

"Child, in the presence of chakra, all living beings started to change and gradually gained the ability to use chakra."

Upon receiving this information, Aska with a look of astonishment, nodded showing that he understood.

But there was still dought in his mind so he asked his father, "then father why are the wild animals able to use chakra without learning but human have to practice and learn how to use chakra."

Upon hearing the question, with a smile on his face, affectionately patted Aska's head. "My child, as living beings underwent transformation, gradually started to use chakra, encompassing both humans and wild animals but there was difference in our transformation and wild animals. Aska can you think what sets us apart in this evolutionary process?"

Aska couldn't think of any reason, "I don't know, Father."

"Child, the distinction between us are quite simple," he explained. "Humans possess the power of knowledge and the way we apply that knowledge in our daily life. But wild animals didn't have this capability."

"Knowledge?" Aska inquired, "but father how did knowledge affected our transformation?"

He replied, "Child, in the manner in which we apply our knowledge in our daily lives that sets us apart from wild animals. When our planet was suddenly filled with chakra, wild animals used chakra to enhance their survivability in the wild. However we humans, unburdened by the fear of survival in the wild, began experimenting with the use of chakra. Our bodies adapted through this experimentation, evolved to utilize chakra in diverse ways."

"Aska now do you comprehend the difference between us and wild animals?" he asked.

Aska still had doubts lingering in his mind, so he asked his father. "But, Father, won't this put us at a disadvantage, since wild animals and plants can use chakra instinctively, while we have to learn and practice the way to use chakra?"

He smiled more brightly at his son's question, he replied, "Child, do you truly believe it's a disadvantage for humans?"

With a meaningful smile, he put his hand on Aska's back, and in an instant, they vanished from the treehouse and reappeared above the green rabbit's habitat.

He gestured with his right hand, causing a blue panel to appear in front of Aska again. However, this time, the blue panel focused on a different green rabbit covered in a green haze.

"Child, look closely at the green rabbit? Did you notice how it utilizes chakra?"

Aska was uncertain but responded, "Yes father, the green rabbits are using chakra to cover their body and camouflage themselves from predator."

"Child, do you know why green rabbits you had seen before and now only use chakra in this way."

Aska shooked his head showing that he didn't know.

"It's because the green rabbit can only use the chakra in a limited way, typically they can use chakra only 4 to 5 ways, and the green haze that shrouds their bodies is one of the way green rabbits use chakra. It also applies to other wild animals."

"Child, do you now grasp, what I am trying to explain?"

"Yes, Father. I understand now. Wild animals have adapted their bodies to utilize chakra for survival, restricting their ability to use chakra as freely as humans, confining themselves to 4 or 5 specific methods."

"Child, now that you comprehend."

He placed his hand on Aska's back again, and they reappeared inside the treehouse as if by magic.

"Child, do you understand why I taught you this today?"

Aska nodded his head in affirmation and responded, "To learn the fundamental knowledge of our world."

"No, my child. I taught you this today, to make you understand, us humans can utilise chakra in various ways, it depends on us how we use chakra."

"Child, do you get it now?"

Aska now comprehended his father meaning and his eye started to glow, "Really, Father? Humans can use chakra in any way?"

"Yes, child. Humans can use chakra in any way, we are not restrained by our body."

Upon hearing his father's confirmation, Aska mind started to race, he started thinking various ways to utilize chakra, including the ability to fly like his father.

"Now, go and practice strengthening your spine and leg veins."

He camly watched as his son eagerly ran off. He had imparted this knowledge to his son today so Aska could explore different ways of using chakra by himself.
