Chapter 143: New Abilities of Perfect Breathing (3k)

Muzuki first tested his Byakugan.

With a thought, he activated his Byakugan, and the world in Muzuki’s eyes instantly transformed.

Although he was looking straight ahead, everything behind him was also within his line of sight; this was the Byakugan’s most basic function: a 360-degree view.

Furthermore, Muzuki could see very far; he could clearly see a bug gnawing on a leaf on a tree five hundred meters away.

As long as Muzuki slightly focused his vision, his gaze could penetrate tree after tree, all the way to the visible end; this was the Byakugan’s X-ray vision, which could be used to see through others’ Chakra.

Muzuki observed his own body with the Byakugan; under the Byakugan’s X-ray vision, he could clearly see every one of his Chakra pathways and every Chakra point.

Ordinary Ninja can only release Ninjutsu through their hands, feet, and mouth, but with the Byakugan, it’s different; a Ninja with the Byakugan can activate all Chakra points to release Chakra simultaneously.

The Hyuga Clan’s Gentle Fist: Revolving Heavens’ principle is precisely to activate Chakra throughout the entire body and then rotate to form a spherical Chakra shield that envelops oneself, hailed as an absolute defense.

Just by being able to activate all Chakra points, Muzuki believed that at this stage, the Byakugan was more useful to him than the Sharingan; after all, he didn’t need the Sharingan to copy Ninjutsu, nor was he skilled in Genjutsu, and the Byakugan could also bring a significant enhancement in perception.

However, the fact that his eyes change when using the Byakugan is problematic; for now, it can only be used as a trump card, not to be used unless absolutely necessary.

As Muzuki thought about concealing the Byakugan, he discovered that the glasses rewarded by the system were not as simple as he had imagined.

【black-framed glasses: Can conceal major changes in the head, to a certain extent increase intellectual temperament, once worn, they will never fall off or be damaged unless the wearer actively takes them off.】

One thought Muzuki had when he saw the system prompt was whether it would be very strong to forge the glasses into a weapon, since the system said they would never be damaged.

But then he thought, since they are indestructible, they definitely can’t be re-forged. He couldn’t possibly use glasses as a weapon, could he?

Muzuki deactivated his Byakugan, his eyes returning to their original blue, then he put on the glasses and activated his Byakugan again.

Something magical happened: Muzuki observed his face using a Kunai’s reflection and found that his eyes under the glasses, as reflected by the Kunai, were blue and had not changed.

Not only that, Muzuki found that even the changes in his hair were controlled to a certain extent; no matter how much he messed it up, his hair, as reflected by the Kunai, would never be too messy; there was a change, but it wasn’t significant.

Of course, only what was seen in the reflection remained unchanged; in reality, Muzuki’s hair was indeed messy when he touched it.

Next, Muzuki tested the hardness and stability of the glasses and found that they were indeed as described by the system: they wouldn’t fall off unless he took them off, and they were truly very hard.

Muzuki was quite satisfied with this reward; not only could it allow him to use the Byakugan freely, but it could even protect his eyes in battle.

Next, Muzuki was going to test the perfect-grade Thunder Breathing.

This was the first perfect-grade skill Muzuki had obtained. After recalling the memories of Thunder Breathing in his mind, Muzuki could only say it was incredibly strong.

Like the other two Breathing Techniques, the Thunder Breathing given by the system was localized for the Ninja World.

If Rock Breathing was about extreme physical strength, with the Mark state consuming a large amount of Chakra to enhance the body, and Flame Breathing was born for Fire Release, with the Mark state directly turning into a Fire Release cannon with no cooldown, Thunder Breathing had a bit of both, not weak in enhancing the body, and also able to strengthen Lightning Release.

Beginner Thunder Breathing allows for Total Concentration Breathing combined with Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation to vitalize the body and enhance physical abilities, while also strengthening Lightning Release; after proficiency, maintaining the enhanced effect for a long time is the Constant State.

After mastering Thunder Breathing, the Mark state allows for the use of any Lightning Release Ninjutsu without hand signs and enhances Lightning Release power, while also greatly increasing physical strength and speed, and improving the body’s recovery ability.

Muzuki could only say that Thunder Breathing was Lightning Release Chakra Mode Plus; it could also vitalize the body, and Thunder Breathing could also enhance Lightning Release. He won big time.

At the same time, Muzuki finally knew what new ability would appear after mastering a Breathing Technique: the Transparent World.

The Transparent World isn’t necessarily awakened only at the perfect grade; it might also awaken at previous proficiency levels, but it is definitely awakened at the perfect grade.

After activating the Transparent World, Muzuki’s control over his body reached its peak; he could even identify every blood vessel within his body, which allowed him to exert maximum power with minimum effort, and at the same time, Muzuki’s precise control over Chakra reached a whole new level.

In addition to mastering his own body, the Transparent World could also see through other people’s bodies, thereby accurately predicting the opponent’s next moves, and at the same time, it could conceal his own presence, preventing the opponent from judging his next attack.

In Muzuki’s opinion, the Transparent World was a combat ability, predicting the opponent while preventing the opponent from predicting himself.

“Thunder Breathing, Total Concentration Breathing!”

Muzuki changed his breathing rhythm, shifting from the Constant State of Rock Breathing to Thunder Breathing. Immediately after, Muzuki performed Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation, and dazzling blue electrical light burst from his body.

Muzuki pricked his arm with a Kunai, but it didn’t penetrate his defense.

Next, Muzuki tested his speed and found that his speed in the Thunder Breathing state was actually faster than when he used Shave.

After activating the Mark, his speed was even more outrageous; Muzuki was so fast that he didn’t dare to run too hard, worried that a slight exertion would instantly land him in the Leaf Village Main District.

This time, Shisui’s birthday brought Muzuki too much benefit; he was even a little excited about what good things his disciples’ upcoming birthdays would bring him.

However, it would be very difficult to get a big burst like Shisui’s, because this time Muzuki invited all his disciples to help celebrate.

This action could increase Shisui’s trust while also boosting the trust and goodwill of other disciples, but at the same time, it would also raise the emotional threshold for the other disciples.

Because they would have this thought: “Teacher Muzuki celebrated Shisui’s birthday, so he should celebrate mine too.”

After returning home, Muzuki activated his Byakugan again and looked in the mirror; it was still the same as the Kunai’s reflection—his eyes had not changed.

Muzuki was completely relieved; from now on, besides sleeping, he might only take off his glasses when his strength was sufficient to sweep everything away.

The next day, Friday, Muzuki woke up early as usual, but unlike before, he was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses.

He first went to the South Border Forest, sending out a few Shadow Clones to supervise the students’ training.

“Teacher Muzuki, why are you suddenly wearing glasses?” Obito asked curiously.

Shisui also looked at Muzuki, a little puzzled.

“I just felt that black-framed glasses might suit me very well. What do you guys think?” Muzuki asked with a smile.

“It suits you very well, it’s just a little unusual,” Obito replied with a simple smile.

“At first glance, Teacher Muzuki now gives off a feeling of being very knowledgeable and having a very good temper.”

“Indeed, these glasses suit you very well, Teacher Muzuki.” Shisui nodded in agreement after a closer look.

“It’s good if it suits me.” Muzuki smiled and nodded, then headed to the Ninja Academy.

Even if it didn’t suit him, he wouldn’t give up these glasses, but it’s always better if they look comfortable.

Upon arriving at the school office, his colleagues also noticed the change.

“Teacher Muzuki, is there something wrong with your eyesight?” Ikeya Yu asked.

Muzuki repeated the answer he had given his students earlier.

“It makes him seem more mature and intellectual; he looks very reliable at a glance.” Ueda Aya preferred Muzuki’s appearance with glasses.

“Indeed, it’s different from before.” Kimura Sugito fell into thought, not expecting a pair of glasses to bring such a change.

“Could it be…” Ikeya Yu was thinking about whether he should wear glasses on his next date to change his image.

“Don’t even think about it. That’s because Teacher Muzuki himself has good features; wearing glasses won’t make any difference for you.” Ueda Aya saw through Ikeya Yu’s thoughts.

“How do you know? I’ve never worn glasses before. Maybe they’ll suit me very well.” Ikeya Yu felt he could give it a try.

Muzuki merely smiled and said nothing, then headed directly to the Class 1, Grade 1 classroom when it was almost time for class.

The students of Class 1, Grade 1 were also very interested in Muzuki’s sudden change.

Children’s descriptions are always very interesting; they felt that Muzuki looked more like an adult than before, and then they felt he would be more approachable or something similar.

Looking at Muzuki, who was surrounded by many students, including female students, Kotetsu Hagane understood. He said to Izumo Kamizuki:

“Izumo, to be popular with girls, it’s not about gaining the Hokage’s approval, but about becoming a Konoha heartthrob!”

“A Konoha heartthrob?” Izumo Kamizuki asked in confusion.

“A Konoha heartthrob, of course, is someone like Teacher Muzuki, who is handsome, approachable, and highly popular,” Kotetsu Hagane said.

“Teacher Muzuki is indeed very popular; I heard he’s also very popular with the female teachers.” Izumo Kamizuki nodded.

So, the two resolved to learn from Muzuki and become Konoha heartthrobs.

Perhaps because the black-framed glasses rewarded by the system truly suited Muzuki, within two or three days, his disciples, colleagues, and students all got used to Muzuki wearing glasses, and no one curiously stared at his glasses.

On Friday evening, Muzuki finalized the intern plan he had discussed with Hiruzen Sarutobi earlier, intending to take it to Hiruzen Sarutobi to review when he went for tutoring tomorrow.

Perhaps Hiruzen Sarutobi had been quite busy recently, as Muzuki didn’t see Hiruzen Sarutobi at Asuma’s house on either Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

However, Muzuki was not in a hurry; there were still two months until the end of this semester, and even if Hiruzen Sarutobi approved it, it couldn’t start immediately.

Muzuki had recently been guiding Obito to trigger training missions related to Kakashi.

The previous training mission had already been settled, and not starting a new one would result in a significant loss, as mission rewards are closely related to the strength growth during the period.

As for Shisui’s life mission, it couldn’t be done for now; as a mere Special Jonin, and a Special Jonin specializing in education, he was not qualified to participate. He would have to wait until Shisui grew up a bit before various operations could be carried out.
