"Shisui and Obito, you two will learn Breath of Flame, while Guy, you'll study Breath of Rock." Mokgetsu announced the names of the ninjutsu they were going to learn next.
Since Mokgetsu had warned them earlier that this lesson would be difficult and required serious study, even the most carefree Obito was silent, listening attentively to Mokgetsu's lecture.
Given that Breath of Rock is the hardest to learn, Mokgetsu first had his Shadow Clone explain the theoretical knowledge of breathing techniques to Shisui and Obito, while he started teaching Might Guy Breath of Rock.
"The most crucial point of the breathing technique lies in the breath itself, where a skillful and full concentration of breathing takes in a large amount of oxygen into the body, reaching every cell, thereby enhancing power and speed in all aspects." Mokgetsu explained the principle of the breathing technique.
"If you can master Breath of Rock and enter a full concentration breath state, not only will your strength increase, but your body's healing speed will also improve, and your mental activity will become more lively.
Once you can maintain full concentration breathing for 24 hours a day, your body's strengthening speed will be several times what it is now. If you also master Breath of Rock, you will be on the path to becoming the strongest Taijutsu Ninja!" Mokgetsu painted a promising future for Might Guy upon learning Breath of Rock.
"Such a powerful technique!" Might Guy exclaimed, eyes wide in surprise.
The idea that it could double his physical training effect was astonishing—what he achieves in three years now, he might accomplish in one or one and a half years after mastering constant breath.
This prospect was incredibly enticing for Might Guy, who was determined to pursue the path of a Taijutsu Ninja.
"Guy, step back a little." Mokgetsu prepared to demonstrate the true power of Breath of Rock to Might Guy.
"Breath of Rock, Full Concentration Breath, Finger Gun!"
Mokgetsu inhaled a substantial amount of oxygen into his body, energizing every cell, finally channeling it into his forefinger, and with the assistance of Chakra, he pointed toward the river surface eighty meters away.
Whoosh!!
The formidable finger force generated a massive whirlwind, a transparent shockwave swiftly flew toward the river surface.
In the next instant, a tremendous explosion sounded.
Boom!!!
A thunderous roar erupted from the river, the explosion sent waves over ten meters high, even some fish were blasted onto the shore.
Thanks to the surrounding trees being over twenty meters tall, Mokgetsu didn't dare use too much strength if the trees had been shorter.
"This is the power that can be unleashed by Breath of Rock: Full Concentration Breath." Mokgetsu lowered his hand and stated.
"Such powerful destruction!" Might Guy was amazed.
Keep in mind that they were over eighty meters away from the river surface, yet such distant power was achieved—if someone were hit by this finger, who could withstand it.
"You'll become even stronger than this in the future." Mokgetsu smiled and patted Might Guy's head.
"Yes, I'll work hard in my cultivation!" Might Guy was now extremely excited, his mind was filled with the breathing technique and Mokgetsu's earlier demonstration.
"Then let's start cultivating, stand properly." Mokgetsu began formal instruction.
Upon hearing Mokgetsu's words, Might Guy immediately stood tall, chest out.
"Relax your upper body while inhaling, keep your lower body steady." Mokgetsu began teaching the most fundamental yet crucial breathing.
Might Guy followed Mokgetsu's instructions, but Mokgetsu shook his head and said:
"Breathe with your abdomen, remember to use your abdominal muscles, not just open your mouth wide."
Mokgetsu then demonstrated several times before letting Might Guy try again.
"Teacher, I inhaled forcefully, but I didn't feel the sensation you mentioned," Might Guy scratched his head.
"Don't rush, take your time. Persistently cultivating will yield results." Mokgetsu smiled warmly.
The difficulty of Breath of Rock was too high, Mokgetsu set Might Guy's goal to learn it successfully within a year.
Might Guy nodded and continued cultivating based on Mokgetsu's method.
After creating a Shadow Clone to assist Might Guy, Mokgetsu walked over to Obito and Shisui.
"Teacher Mokgetsu, was that the technique Guy is supposed to learn? It felt so strong!"
When Mokgetsu arrived, Obito asked enthusiastically.
Although they weren't far away, and Mokgetsu's move was quite evident, so they saw it too.
"That's right, I used taijutsu in a full concentration breath state of Breath of Rock just now," Mokgetsu nodded.
"It'll be extraordinary if Guy masters Breath of Rock!" Obito marveled at the power of just one taijutsu.
"Don't worry, the Breath of Flame you're going to cultivate is not inferior to Breath of Rock that Guy is learning, it can also greatly enhance your strength." Mokgetsu smiled.
Both breathing techniques are considered top-tier Kinjutsu, the difference lies in the user's level.
"Teacher Mokgetsu, could you show us the powerful aspects of Breath of Flame too?" Obito looked at Mokgetsu expectantly.
Even Shisui showed a curious expression.
Mokgetsu wouldn't refuse such a small request from his disciples, he shifted his breathing rhythm, switching from Breath of Rock's constant state to Breath of Flame's constant state, and walked toward the river.
"Once you learn Breath of Flame and perform full concentration breathing, it increases the speed of Fire Attribute Chakra nature changes, enhancing the power of flames."
"If you can maintain uninterrupted full concentration breathing all day, the acceleration of nature changes and the enhancement of flame power will become normalized, with stronger explosive power." Mokgetsu explained while preparing to perform ninjutsu.
"Nature change acceleration, make flames stronger!" Shisui was visibly shocked by Mokgetsu's words.
With good theoretical knowledge, he understood the significance of Mokgetsu's words—essentially raising the upper limit of the Fire Release crudely and simply.
"At the same time, it can enhance physical power to a certain extent, and recovery ability..." Mokgetsu continued, these were all abilities common to the breathing techniques.
Upon reaching the riverbank, Mokgetsu directly performed seals and executed ninjutsu.
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bomb!" Mokgetsu opened his mouth and spewed a large flame like a raging dragon, dividing the flames into three directions—front, left, and right—engulfing the river surface, instantly covering it in a fire sea over twenty meters large.
The massive flames entered the water, generating constant steam, surrounding the area in dense fog, Mokgetsu used Wind Release to disperse the water vapor.
In fact, Mokgetsu had even stronger ninjutsu, whether it was the mastery-level Headache or the Great Fire Extinguishing Arrow, both had a broader power than the Fire Dragon Flame Bomb.
But those two ninjutsu covered too much area; Mokgetsu's flames here feared burning down the nearby forest.
"So strong, I want to learn it!" Obito said honestly.
"Isn't this Breath of Flame an S-level Kinjutsu?" Shisui was astonished.
Mokgetsu's abilities were increasingly mysterious in his mind; every time he thought he understood Mokgetsu's strength, Mokgetsu would present something new that left him awestruck.
