Chapter 103: The Terrifyingly Powerful Breathing Technique (45)

“Shisui and Obito, you two will learn Flame Breathing, and Akkai, you will learn Rock Breathing,” Muyue announced the Ninja Techniques they would be learning next.

Because Muyue had warned them beforehand that what they were about to learn was incredibly difficult and required intense focus, even the most flighty Obito remained silent, listening attentively to Muyue’s lecture.

Since Rock Breathing was the most difficult to learn, Muyue 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 important aspect of the breathing technique lies in the breath itself—a skillful and completely focused breath, drawing a large amount of oxygen into the body, reaching every single cell, thereby comprehensively enhancing strength and speed,” Muyue explained the principle of the breathing technique.

“If you can master Rock Breathing and enter the state of Total Concentration Breathing, not only will your strength increase, but your body’s healing speed will also improve, and your spirit will become more alert. If you can maintain Total Concentration Breathing 24 hours a day, then the rate at which your physique strengthens will be several times faster than it is now. If you further master Rock Breathing, you will walk the path to becoming the strongest taijutsu Ninja!” Muyue painted a picture of a bright future for Might Guy upon mastering Rock Breathing.

“Such a powerful technique!” Might Guy’s eyes widened in astonishment.

It could actually double his body-building effect! What did that even mean? What currently took him three years of cultivation, might only take a year or a year and a half after mastering this.

For Might Guy, who was determined to dedicate his life to the path of a taijutsu Ninja, this was incredibly alluring.

“Akkai, move a little further away,” Muyue said, preparing to demonstrate the true power of Rock Breathing.

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

Muyue inhaled a large amount of oxygen, stimulating the power of every cell in his body, finally channeling it into his index finger. Then, combining it with Chakra, he lightly tapped the river surface eighty meters away.

Whoosh! Whoosh!!

The powerful force of his finger generated a huge gust of wind, a transparent shockwave rapidly flying toward the river surface.

The next moment, a tremendous explosion resounded.

BOOM!!!

The river roared with a massive sound, the explosion creating waves more than ten meters high, even blasting some fish onto the bank. Only the presence of twenty-meter-tall trees prevented greater damage; if the trees were any shorter, Muyue wouldn’t have dared to use so much force.

“This is the power that Rock Breathing, in Total Concentration Breathing, can unleash,” Muyue said, lowering his hand.

“The destructive power is incredible!” Might Guy was shocked.

They were over eighty meters away from the river, yet the attack still had such devastating power. If that finger had hit a person, who could withstand it?

“You will become even stronger than this in the future,” Muyue smiled, patting Might Guy on the head.

“Yes, I will train hard!” Might Guy was incredibly excited, his mind filled with the breathing technique and Muyue’s finger strike.

“Then let’s start training. Stand properly,” Muyue began the formal instruction.

Upon hearing Muyue’s words, Might Guy stood at attention, chest puffed out, head held high.

“Relax your upper body and inhale, keep your lower body steady,” Muyue instructed on the most basic and important aspect of the breathing technique.

Might Guy followed Muyue’s instructions, but Muyue shook his head.

“Breathe using your abdomen, remember to use your abdomen, not just open your mouth wide.”

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

“Teacher, I inhaled forcefully, but I don’t feel what you described,” Might Guy scratched his head.

“Don’t rush, take your time, just keep practicing consistently,” Muyue said gently.

Rock Breathing was extremely difficult; Muyue’s expectation for Might Guy was that he would master it within a year.

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

Creating a Shadow Clone to stay with Might Guy, Muyue went to Shisui and Obito.

“Teacher Muyue, was that just now the technique Kai will be learning? It felt incredibly powerful!”

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

They weren’t far away, and Muyue’s technique had made quite a commotion, so they had witnessed it.

“That’s right, that was a taijutsu technique I performed while in the Total Concentration Breathing state of Rock Breathing,” Muyue nodded.

“If Akkai learns Rock Breathing, it’ll be unbelievable!” Obito exclaimed, amazed by the power of a single taijutsu technique.

“Rest assured, the Flame Breathing you two will be learning is no less impressive than Akkai’s Rock Breathing. It can also significantly increase your strength,” Muyue said with a smile.

Both breathing techniques were top-tier forbidden techniques, their effectiveness ultimately depending on the user’s skill.

“Teacher Muyue, could you show us the power of Flame Breathing too?” Obito looked at Muyue expectantly.

Even Shisui showed curiosity.

Muyue naturally wouldn’t refuse such a small request from his disciples. He changed his breathing rhythm, switching from Total Concentration Rock Breathing to Total Concentration Flame Breathing, and walked toward the river.

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

“If you can maintain uninterrupted Total Concentration Breathing all day, then the acceleration of nature transformation and the increased flame power will become normalized, and you will have even greater explosive power,” Muyue said while preparing to perform a Ninja Technique.

“Accelerate nature transformation, and strengthen flames!” Shisui was astonished by Muyue’s words.

His strong theoretical knowledge allowed him to understand the significance of what Muyue was saying – a crude but effective increase in the upper limit of Fire Release.

“It can also increase physical strength and recovery ability to some extent…” Muyue continued, these were abilities shared by both breathing techniques.

Reaching the riverbank, Muyue quickly performed hand seals and executed the Ninja Technique.

“Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!” Muyue unleashed a large expanse of flames, like a raging dragon constantly swirling, the flames splitting into three directions—front, left, and right—surging towards the river surface. In an instant, a fiery sea more than twenty meters wide completely covered the river.

The massive flames fell into the water, generating constant steam; a large amount of white fog enveloped the surroundings, which Muyue dispersed with Wind Release.

Muyue actually possessed stronger Ninja Techniques, both the expert-level Headbutt and Great Fire Annihilation could have produced a far greater area of effect than the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet.

But those two techniques had far too wide a range; if Muyue had used them, he might have burned down the nearby forest.

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

“Isn’t this Flame Breathing an S-rank forbidden technique?” Shisui was incredibly surprised.

Muyue’s strength became increasingly enigmatic in his mind; whenever he thought he had guessed Muyue’s level of strength, Muyue would always produce something new that left him astonished.
