Chapter 103: The Terrifying Breathing Techniques

"Shisui and Obito, you two will be learning the Flame Breathing technique, and Gai, you will be learning the Stone Breathing technique," Makoto announced the next ninjutsu they were about to learn.

Makoto had previously emphasized that what they were about to learn would be quite challenging, so even the typically outspoken Obito remained silent and paid close attention to Makoto's lecture.

Since Stone Breathing was the most difficult technique to master, Makoto first tasked his shadow clones to provide Shisui and Obito with the theoretical knowledge of breathing methods while he personally began teaching Might Gai the Stone Breathing technique.

"The key is skillful and concentrated breathing. Doing so you can draw in a significant amount of oxygen into every cell of your body, enhancing your strength and speed in all aspects," Makoto explained the principle behind the breathing technique.

"If you can learn Stone Breathing and maintain a state of total concentration, not only will your physical strength increase, but your body's healing speed will also improve, and your mental alertness will be heightened. Once you can sustain this throughout the day, your physical development will progress at a rate several times faster than your current pace. Proficiency in Stone Breathing will set you on the path to becoming the strongest taijutsu ninja," Makoto described the promising future that awaited Might Gai through the mastery of the Stone Breathing technique.

"Amazing!" Might Gai exclaimed with stars in his eyes. The prospect of doubling the effectiveness of his physical training was incredibly appealing.

This proposition was too enticing for Might Gai, who was determined to excel as a taijutsu ninja.

"Gai, please step back a bit," Makoto said as he prepared to demonstrate the true power of Stone Breathing to Might Gai.

"!"

Makoto took in a deep breath, filling his body with oxygen, stimulating the power in every cell, and finally channeling it into his index finger. With the addition of chakra, he pointed his finger towards the river, which was eighty meters away.

Whoosh!

The powerful force from his finger created a massive gust of wind, and a transparent shock wave sped toward the river.

In the next moment, there was a tremendous explosion.

Boom!

A deafening roar echoed through the river, creating waves over ten meters high, even sending some fish flying onto the shore.

Thud Thud Thud

"Don't worry, the Flame Breathing that you are going to practice is no less potent than the Stone Breathing that Gai is working on, and it can also greatly enhance your strength," Makoto assured them with a smile.

Both breathing techniques were considered top-level forbidden techniques, and their effectiveness depended on the user's proficiency.

"Teacher Makoto, please demonstrate the power of the Flame Breathing," Obito said, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Even Shisui seemed eager to witness it.

Makoto, of course, had no reason to refuse her disciples' request. He adjusted her breathing rhythm, transitioning from the normal Stone Breathing to Flame Breathing, and headed toward the river.

"When you master Flame Breathing, you can use it to accelerate the transformation of your fire chakra's nature, increasing the power of your fire jutsus," Makoto explained. "This will lead to more potent flames. Additionally, it will enhance your physical strength and recovery abilities to some extent."

As he reached the river, Makoto began to form hand seals and prepared to use ninjutsu.

***ROAR***

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!" Makoto opened his mouth and expelled a massive burst of fire that danced like a wild dragon. The flames split into three directionsfront, left, and rightand surged toward the river. In an instant, a sea of fire, spanning more than 20 meters, engulfed the river.

*Spoosh*

*Swoosh!*

Large swathes of flames landed in the water, producing billows of white steam that shrouded the surroundings. Makoto then employed Wind Release to disperse the water vapor.

Makoto possessed even more formidable ninjutsu, exceeding the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet in terms of power.

However, these techniques had an extensive range and posed a risk of igniting wildfires in the nearby forest.

"So formidable, I'm genuinely eager to learn this!" Obito exclaimed with enthusiasm.

"Isn't the Breath of Flame an S-level forbidden technique?" Shisui was deeply astonished.

Makoto's strength continued to be a significant enigma in his mind. Just as he believed he had a handle on his abilities, he consistently surprised him with new revelations.
