Chapter 103: Powerful Breathing Technique (45)

“Shisui and Obito, you two will learn Flame Breathing, while Guy, you will learn Rock Breathing.” Muzuki stated the names of the Ninjutsu they would be learning next.

Because Muzuki had previously warned them that the material he was about to teach would be difficult and required serious study, even the most excitable Obito remained silent, listening intently to Muzuki’s lecture.

Since Rock Breathing was the most difficult to learn, Muzuki first had a Shadow Clone explain the theoretical knowledge of the Breathing Technique to Shisui and Obito, while he himself began teaching Might Guy Rock Breathing.

“The most crucial aspect of the Breathing Technique lies in breathing itself—skilled and Total Concentration Breathing, drawing large amounts of oxygen into the body and distributing it to every cell, thereby comprehensively enhancing strength and speed,” Muzuki explained the principle of the Breathing Technique.

“If you can learn Rock Breathing and enter the state of Total Concentration Breathing, not only will your strength increase, but your body’s healing speed will also accelerate, and your mind will become more active.

Once you can maintain Total Concentration Breathing twenty-four hours a day, the rate at which your physique strengthens will be several times faster than it is now; if you then master Rock Breathing, you will embark on the path to becoming the strongest Taijutsu Ninja!” Muzuki painted a beautiful future for Might Guy upon learning Rock Breathing.

“What a powerful Jutsu!” Might Guy exclaimed, his eyes wide with surprise.

To think it could double his body-tempering effects—what kind of concept was that? The results he currently achieved after three years of training might be reached in just one or one and a half years after learning Constant State.

This was incredibly appealing to Might Guy, who was determined to pursue the path of a Taijutsu Ninja to the very end.

“Guy, please stand a little further back.” Muzuki prepared to demonstrate the true power of Rock Breathing to Might Guy.

“Rock Breathing, Total Concentration Breathing, Finger Gun!”

Muzuki inhaled a large amount of oxygen, stimulating the power of every cell, and finally channeled it into his index finger, combining it with Chakra, and then pointed towards the river eighty meters away.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The immense finger force directly stirred up a powerful gust of wind, and a transparent shockwave rapidly flew towards the river surface.

The next moment, a massive explosion instantly erupted.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The river roared with a tremendous sound, and the waves stirred up by the explosion were over ten meters high, even blasting some fish onto the bank.

It was fortunate that the area was filled with twenty-meter-tall trees; if the trees had been shorter, Muzuki wouldn’t have dared to use so much force.

“This is the power that can be unleashed through Rock Breathing in a state of Total Concentration Breathing,” Muzuki said, lowering his hand.

“Such destructive power!” Might Guy exclaimed, his face filled with shock.

They were over eighty meters away from the river, and yet, from such a distance, it still possessed such power; who could withstand a poke like that to the body?

“You will be even stronger than this in the future,” Muzuki said with a smile, patting Might Guy’s head.

“Yes, I will train hard!” Might Guy was incredibly excited at this moment, his mind filled with the Breathing Technique and Muzuki’s recent finger attack.

“Then let’s begin training; stand properly.” Muzuki officially began teaching.

Might Guy immediately straightened his back, puffed out his chest, and stood at attention upon hearing Muzuki’s words.

“Relax your upper body as you inhale, and keep your lower body stable.” Muzuki began with the most fundamental and crucial aspect of the Breathing Technique: breathing.

Might Guy followed Muzuki’s instructions, but Muzuki shook his head and said:

“Breathe using your abdomen. Remember, you must use your abdomen, not just open your mouth wide.”

Muzuki then demonstrated several times before having Might Guy try again.

“Teacher, I tried to inhale forcefully, but I don’t feel the sensation you mentioned,” Might Guy said, scratching his head.

“Don’t rush, take your time. Just keep practicing consistently,” Muzuki said with a gentle smile.

Rock Breathing was too difficult; Muzuki’s expectation for Might Guy was to successfully learn it within a year.

Might Guy nodded and continued to practice according to Muzuki’s method.

After sending a Shadow Clone to Might Guy’s side, Muzuki went over to Obito and Shisui.

“Teacher Muzuki, was that move you just used the one Guy is going to learn? It felt so powerful!”

As soon as Muzuki’s main body arrived, Obito excitedly asked.

They weren’t far away, and Muzuki’s move had caused quite a commotion, so they had also witnessed it.

“That’s right. I just used a Taijutsu in the Total Concentration Breathing state of Rock Breathing,” Muzuki nodded and said.

“If Guy learns Rock Breathing, that’s going to be incredible!” Obito exclaimed, impressed that a mere Taijutsu could possess such power.

“Don’t worry, the Flame Breathing you two will be training in is no less effective than the Rock Breathing Guy is learning; it can also significantly boost your strength,” Muzuki said with a smile.

Both Breathing Techniques were considered top-tier forbidden Jutsu; it simply depended on the user’s skill level.

“Teacher Muzuki, could you also show us the power of Flame Breathing?” Obito looked at Muzuki with anticipation.

Even Shisui showed a look of curiosity.

Muzuki, of course, wouldn’t refuse such a small request from his disciples. He changed his breathing rhythm, switching from the Constant State of Rock Breathing to the Constant State of Flame Breathing, and walked towards the river.

“When you learn Flame Breathing and perform Total Concentration Breathing with Flame Breathing, it will increase the speed of your Fire Release Chakra Nature Transformation and enhance the power of your flames.”

“If you can maintain Total Concentration Breathing continuously throughout the day, then the accelerated Nature Transformation and enhanced flame power will become a Constant State, and you will possess even greater explosive power.” Muzuki spoke while preparing to unleash a Ninjutsu.

“Accelerated Nature Transformation, making flames stronger!” Shisui was directly shocked by Muzuki’s words.

He had a good grasp of theoretical knowledge, so he understood what Muzuki’s two statements represented: a direct, crude, and simple increase in the upper limit of Fire Release.

“At the same time, it can also enhance physical strength and recovery ability to a certain extent…” Muzuki continued, these being abilities common to all Breathing Techniques.

Upon reaching the riverside, Muzuki directly formed hand signs and unleashed a Ninjutsu.

“Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!” Muzuki opened his mouth and spewed out a vast expanse of flames, like a raging dragon constantly dancing. The flames split into three directions—front, left, and right—surging towards the river, and in an instant, a twenty-meter-wide sea of fire directly covered the river surface.

Large patches of flames fell into the water, constantly producing steam, and a massive amount of white mist enveloped the surroundings. Muzuki used Wind Release to disperse the water vapor.

Actually, Muzuki had even stronger Ninjutsu; both the proficient-level Head Crusher and Great Fire Annihilation were more powerful and had a wider range than the Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet.

However, those two Ninjutsu had too large a range; if Muzuki were to use them, he would likely burn down the nearby forest.

“So powerful, I really want to learn it!” Obito honestly said.

“Is this Flame Breathing an S-rank forbidden Jutsu?” Shisui was extremely surprised.

Muzuki’s strength became increasingly mysterious in his mind; whenever he felt he had guessed Muzuki’s strength, Muzuki would always produce something new that astonished him.
