Chapter 219 Draw a breathing technique? Just kidding, it's just powerful!
Inside the Kitahara residence, under bright lights.
Kitahara Kaede put down the diary, and at the same time, a semi-transparent panel appeared in front of him.
Today is the day for the lucky draw.
"stop!"
With his command, the pointer stopped and finally pointed to an option that made Kitahara Kaede's eyes widen involuntarily.
"The Breathing of Thunder: From Beginner to Expert"
Kitahara Kaede was taken aback. Wasn't Thunder Breathing one of the breathing techniques in Demon Slayer?
How can I get Demon Slayer skills in Naruto?
After Kitahara Kaede accepted the request, countless pieces of information about Thunder Breathing immediately flooded his mind. Sure enough, it was the Thunder Breathing from Demon Slayer.
This time, Kitahara Kaede obtained the complete set of Thunder Breathing techniques, including Thunderclap Flash, Rice Spirit, Gathering Mosquitoes into Thunder, and Far Thunder.
All sword techniques, including Heat Thunder, Lightning Thunder, and Fire Thunder God.
In addition, there are different levels of breathing techniques for different stages of practice.
From the very beginning, the complete concentration breathing technique allows one to temporarily increase their physical strength and gain the ability to slay demons. Most Demon Slayer Corps members who have learned the breathing technique remain at this level, and slaying ordinary demons is not a problem.
The second level, Total Concentration, requires the swordsman to maintain 24-hour concentrated breathing to improve physical fitness. After completing the training, physical attributes will be greatly enhanced.
And the method to unlock the markings at the third level; once you reach this level, the swordsman's strength will be even more astonishing.
And the final level is the Transparent World. Once this level is reached, the user can conceal their aura and enhance their perception by precisely controlling their breathing and movement efficiency. They can clearly observe the rise and fall of their opponent's lungs and the flow of blood vessels, greatly improving their ability to predict and dodge movements, much like activating the Sharingan and Byakugan.
However, unlike the original Thunder Breathing from the Demon Slayer world, this version has been improved upon in the ninja world.
Because the original Demon Slayer world was a low-level martial arts world. The only thing that was somewhat like high-level martial arts was the scumbag boss's immortality and Blood Demon Art. Everything else could only be considered low-level martial arts.
For example, do you really think the various fancy special effects derived from different breathing techniques are real?
No, the original author already told you that it's all your imagination. The sword moves that ordinary team members use are the normal ones. As for the special effects of Water Breathing summoning water elementals, Thunder Breathing bringing lightning, and Flame Breathing bringing fire, they are basically all illusions.
A hallucination caused by being beaten!
Just kidding, it's really strong!
Especially the rock pillar, can that be called a breathing technique? He grabbed a giant hammer and came over like he was flying a helicopter, and then he also said that he was using a breathing technique.
However, the improved version no longer relies solely on breathing techniques to squeeze the body's potential, but instead incorporates lightning-attribute chakra. The advantage of this is that the power of the breathing techniques is far greater than in the Demon Slayer world.
Moreover, even if one awakens the Demon Slayer Mark, they will not live past the age of twenty-five. In the Demon Slayer world, there is no other way. There is no supernatural energy system. One relies solely on suppressing the potential within one's own body, so one naturally has to pay a huge price.
In the world of Naruto, chakra serves as an energy substitute, so there's no need to pay such a high price.
"Give it a try."
Kitahara Kaede took out the Thunder God Sword, which, coincidentally, also carried lightning, making it a perfect match for this breathing technique.
"brush!"
Kitahara Kaede disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already in a forest in Konoha.
All around were the roars of various wild beasts at night. This was part of the Forbidden Forest, and few people usually came here. It was generally used by ninjas for training.
"Let's try it out!" Kitahara Kaede smiled slightly and channeled chakra into the Thunder God Sword. Instantly, a surge of immense energy erupted, far more powerful than when it was in the hands of Green Aoi.
The terrifying sword light caused several wild beasts in the vicinity to flee in terror.
They lacked sentience, yet they could still sense the terror of Thor's sword.
"Thunder Breathing, First Form, Thunderclap Flash!"
In an instant, Kitahara Kaede's body was enveloped in an astonishing burst of lightning, transforming into a bolt of lightning that shot out.
"Boom!"
Wherever Kitahara Kaede went, countless trees were destroyed, and his Thunder God Sword stopped after cutting down a large tree.
"When using sword techniques, such as the Layton Chakra Mode, the speed boost is astonishing." Kitahara Kaede compared the speed.
The most prominent feature of Thunder Breathing is undoubtedly speed. After using Thunder Breathing, one's speed will be greatly increased. Kitahara Kaede's speed almost doubled on this basis.
The First Form is the one with the fastest speed increase and extremely destructive power. When he swings his sword, it is almost equivalent to an A-rank ninjutsu.
It was already comparable to the amplification effect of the first four levels of the Eight Gates Formation on him. However, each gate after the Eight Gates Formation was more outrageous than the last. When the eighth gate was opened, it could even severely injure a Six Paths level expert, which was another matter entirely.
However, as soon as he stopped, the lightning around him vanished without a trace.
At present, Kitahara Kaede can only explore and achieve the level of fully concentrated breathing, which means that he needs to concentrate all his attention during the performance.
That's just the level of a regular member of the Demon Slayer Corps. The goal is to reach the level of complete concentration, which means being able to maintain the breathing technique while eating and sleeping 24 hours a day.
This is somewhat like his usual state after opening a door.
He can now open the gate normally every day. After opening the gate, the limitation of the brain is lifted, and he can control his body 100%. This is why he can use Thunder Breathing almost instantly after obtaining it.
The body can act entirely according to its own will, as long as it doesn't exceed its limits by too much. This is the abnormal aspect of the normal opening of a door.
With the blessing of Thunder Breathing, Kitahara Kaede's strength has reached another level, no longer just at the Kage level, and his physical strength will become even stronger.
With the blessing of the Sage Body of the Uzumaki Clan, the power of Thunder Breathing can be fully unleashed.
The next day, Kitahara Kaede rested at home. After cultivating all night, Kitahara Kaede had gradually grasped the threshold of the normal state of the complete concentration. Because of the precedent of opening a door in the normal state, the difficulty of Kitahara Kaede's cultivation of the second level of the breathing technique was also much less.
He didn't summon the members of Team 7 and Kitahara Squad today because there were no missions for the next two days. The Snow Princess Ninja Scroll mission that Kakashi had put in charge of wouldn't start for another two days, so this was a rare time to rest.
However, to Kitahara Kaede's surprise, Uchiha Sasuke arrived early in the morning with dark circles under his eyes to visit.
"What did Sasuke do last night? He has such dark circles under his eyes." Kitahara Kaede was a little puzzled, but still invited him to sit down.
Unbeknownst to him, the content he updated last night kept Sasuke Uchiha awake all night, as he pondered his relationship with Itachi Uchiha, how to kill Kenji Uchiha, how to kill Danzo Shimura, and ultimately, whether or not to defect from Konoha.
Based on the original historical trajectory, he should have defected from Konoha and followed Orochimaru.
However, he later discovered that Orochimaru was no good either, and he would eventually have to return to Konoha. So why leave Konoha and even affect his daughter's political background check?
He only learned from Kitahara Kaede's diary why he would leave Konoha and follow Orochimaru in the future, but he did not explain why he eventually chose to return to Konoha and start a family.
Therefore, he dared not act rashly, because he did not know what reason his future self would make that choice. He believed that his future self must have his reasons for making that choice.
However, he desperately needs to become stronger. He cannot follow Orochimaru, but that doesn't mean Konoha is without strong individuals. On the surface, Konoha has the Third Hokage in charge, but of course, he can't rely on the Third Hokage. His teacher, Kakashi, is undoubtedly a future Kage-level powerhouse who is about to reach the Kage level.
Although Kitahara Kaede joked that he was evenly matched with Kakashi Hatake, he had witnessed Kakashi's strength firsthand. Even with his current strength, comparable to an elite Chunin, he would still be overwhelmed when facing Kakashi Hatake, who had resumed his training and retraining.
A little seriousness would be enough to let Uchiha Sasuke experience what it means to be brutally beaten by society.
Besides these two, he had an even better choice: Kitahara Kaede.
Although Kitahara Kaede is just an ordinary Chunin on the surface, not even a Jonin, and he only recently became a Chunin.
However, Sasuke Uchiha learned from Kitahara Kaede's diary that he was already a true Kage-level shinobi, or at least a shinobi whose combat strength could rival that of a Kage.
This was a completely new choice for him, and of course there were other reasons as well. Compared to Kakashi Hatake, Sasuke Uchiha preferred to be closer to his own clan, who had a different surname.
Therefore, given his pride, he did not refute Kitahara Kaede's previous lectures.
This is why Kitahara Kaede found Uchiha Sasuke's attitude unusually good, unlike the arrogant Haruhi Sasuke he knew.
They are one of the few remaining members of their race in the world.
Most importantly, he desperately wanted to know how Kitahara Kaede could reach Kage-level strength even without the Mangekyou Sharingan.
