Chapter 139: One-hand seal (3k)
If you want to ask what is the difference between Shisui's practice of fully concentrated breathing and ordinary breathing, then ordinary breathing is to eat one bite at a time to gain continuous strength, while full concentration breathing is to eat and suddenly take a big bite to gain short bursts of strength.
The difference is that the practice of concentrated breathing is much more difficult than taking a big mouthful of food. To take a big mouthful of food, you only need to open your mouth wide and control the muscles of the mouth. However, concentrated breathing does not require you to open your mouth wide and take a big breath of air.
The practice of focusing on breathing is a bit like sprint training, in which explosive power is enhanced through little by little training.
When Shisui first learned on Friday, he couldn't feel any difference from usual. He tried hard to focus his breathing again and again, but it didn't make much difference.
This situation did not change until the fifth day.
“The breath of fire is all concentrated and breathed, the claws of the impatiens are red!”
Zhi Shui held four kunai in his right hand. Chakra condensed on his palm. In just a moment, all four kunai were enveloped in flames, and then they were quickly shot out by Shisui.
Boom!
Kunai with fierce burning flames are like small fireballs. They explode after hitting the ground, leaving small craters.
"Unprinted release? How did you do it, Shisui?" Obito next to him couldn't help but asked curiously.
Obito once used his palms to condense flames to attack Metkai in the actual combat test. If we just use the definition of ninjutsu, it can barely be regarded as Muji ninjutsu, because it also uses the change in the nature of chakra.
But in fact, Obito's technique is just an ordinary property change technique. The flame is just an ordinary flame. There are no other effects attached. There is no way to increase the power by increasing chakra because it is easy to burn yourself.
Using the ninja world's learning grade standards to grade, Obito's one is only D grade at most, which is not the same grade as the Muji Impatiens Flower Claw Red that Shisui just performed.
"It's not a true Muji release, it's just a trick of using concentrated breathing." Shisui replied.
"Generally speaking, it is safer and easier to use the throat to condense chakra to release fire escape, while using the hands is more dangerous and slower..."
The human body in the ninja world has a chakra meridian system and 361 chakra acupuncture points all over the body, but the difficulty of condensing chakra to change its properties is actually different in different parts.
The reason why so many fire escapes are sprayed with the mouth is because using hands and feet is not only inefficient but also easy to hurt yourself.
Different properties will change differently. For example, thunder escape and fire escape are different. Many thunder escapes are released by condensing chakra in the hand or arm.
"The problem of the speed of property change can be solved through the breath of fire. In addition, the number of shurikens can be reduced to reduce the total demand for flames. In the end, I actually made a seal." Shisui showed his left hand to Obito. Just now He made a seal with one hand.
The essence of the seal is to guide ninjutsu. With a weakening and the blessing of the breath of fire, he could barely achieve the one-handed seal to release the red impatiens.
“You can actually use the seal with one hand?” Obito was shocked.
Snapped!
Mu Yue put her **** together and gave Obito a slap.
“I forgot what I said before just looking at it.” Mu Yue ruffled Obito’s hair and said.
“The essence of sealing is to guide the release of ninjutsu. As long as you know enough about ninjutsu, you can not only form seals with one hand, but also reduce the number of seals or even release them without seals.” Mu Yue reminded.
Mu Yue’s words reminded Obito of some relevant memories.
Mu Yue seemed to have talked about how to make one-handed seals and simplified seals. Mu Yue also demonstrated to them the complete seal and the dragon fire with only one seal.
After hearing this that day, he excitedly tried it, only to find that not only was the one-handed seal not fast enough, but the ninjutsu also failed to be released.
After making no progress for several days, Obito stopped trying. He thought it would be better to practice normally. After all, he had never heard of any strong person who was famous for making seals with one hand.
“Hey, actually I just want to test whether Shisui has forgotten what you said, Teacher Muyue.” Obito said pretendingly.
Zhi Shui:…
"The idea is very good. Although the power and attack range are smaller than the normal release of Impatiens Claw Red, the release speed is faster, and it may have unexpected effects at close range." Mu Yue said.
If someone points a knife in the face and thinks Shisui has no time to release the ninjutsu, and Shisui suddenly uses one hand and one seal to release the fire escape, it will probably be difficult to get out of the way.
“Teacher Muyue, please tell me how to form the seal with one hand.” Obito looked at Muyue expectantly and said, he wanted to be like Shisui and release the Impatiens Flower Claw Red with one hand and one seal.
Obito feels that it will definitely look cool when used in actual combat.
During the battle, he calmly took out four kunai, and before the enemy could react, he instantly threw four kunai with one hand through seals with one hand. The enemy was pierced by the flaming kunai and exploded to death. , and he threw the kunai and turned around with his hands in his pockets.
“Seeing such a handsome scene, Xiao Lin must have said with admiration, Obito, you are really awesome.” Obito fantasized in his heart.
"I have actually said what I need to talk about before, and I will say it again today. You still need to be more familiar with ninjutsu to practice it. It is difficult to learn just by listening." Mu Yue said.
How do you describe the one-handed seal? It's like asking a right-hander to practice calligraphy with his left hand or write calligraphy with both hands. The teacher can't be possessed to teach it.
However, the one-hand seal does have considerable practical value in actual combat. If you wear a robe, you can hide the hand that is sealing and secretly release ninjutsu.
It may sound a little wretched, but it is actually very practical in combat. Your seals cannot be seen. Even if your senses are keen enough to detect that you may use ninjutsu, the enemy will not know what ninjutsu you are using.
Experienced experts can know what type of ninjutsu it is by observing the seals, because various ninjutsu seals with different attributes also have corresponding characteristics. For example, the last seal of fire release is generally the Yin seal. "Yeah, I will practice more." Obito nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Shisui, can you share your experience with me?" Obito then looked at Shisui.
“I have no successful experience because I forgot what Teacher Muyue said.” Zhishui replied.
“Huh?” Obito showed a surprised expression, and then remembered what he had just said.
"Haha, I forgot. Shisui, how could you forget? You didn't use it just now." Obito quickly admitted his mistake and said.
Zhi Shui was just joking. His companion looked so expectant, so of course he would not refuse.
"If you want to break through the seals, Ninjutsu practice is essential. In addition, your current level is not enough and you need the assistance of breathing techniques. Try to practice at the same time." Mu Yue began to teach.
Obito then began his journey of making seals with one hand.
The first performance was a bit awkward. Obito completed the seal with one hand, but the shuriken did not spit out fire.
Obito and Shisui asked about advanced experiences.
Looking at the messy shurikens on the ground, Shisui seemed a little silent. He had encountered a blind spot in knowledge. He had never encountered this situation before.
At this moment, he was thinking, why would someone throw out the red shuriken with impatiens, claws, and red shurikens before the fire comes out? They usually spit out the fire first and then throw the shurikens.
Zhi Shui thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out how to make a mistake in this step, so he said:
“How about Obito, would you like to familiarize yourself with the hand seals first and then practice with one hand?”
“Good idea!” Obito thought it was a good idea.
Hands formed seals and the ninjutsu was completed smoothly, and a dozen flaming shurikens hit the ground together.
Obito recalled the memory of the seal he had just made with both hands in his mind, and tried to complete the seal with one hand.
The second time he performed a ninjutsu with one hand seal, this time fire came out. Fire came out of his hand, and it almost burned Obito himself.
“Haha, I just kept thinking about Shisui using your hands, so I forgot the steps.” Obito explained with a smile.
Shisui seems to have discovered the reason why Obito has been unable to form seals with one hand.
“It’s more difficult to form a seal with one hand than with two hands. You need to concentrate more and don’t think randomly.” Mu Yue reminded.
If you can do something with both hands with one hand, it will naturally be more difficult.
Two hours later, Obito became more proficient at condensing chakra in his palms, but he had not yet succeeded in forming a seal with one hand.
After the training, everyone went home, but in fact only Shisui went home. After everyone else went home, they gathered in the southern forest.
After changing his shoes at the entrance and walking into the house, Shisui poured himself a glass of water.
He doesn’t have the habit of calling me back, because no one will respond. He is the only one living in his house.
Zhi Shui glanced at the calendar on the wall and realized that it was already October 18th.
His birthday is October 19th, tomorrow.
But Shisui didn't plan to celebrate his birthday. The only one who knew about his birthday was his uncle. His uncle went out on a mission not long ago and had no time to come over to celebrate his birthday.
He didn’t want to take the initiative to tell Mu Yue and the others about his birthday. He believed that Mu Yue would help him celebrate his birthday after knowing it, but Zhishui didn’t want to trouble Mu Yue specifically for such a trivial matter.
Mu Yue is already very busy. She teaches the first-year class at the ninja school all day long. She also takes time to teach them in the morning and noon. She goes to the southern forest as soon as school is over in the afternoon. She was recently injured while forging a ninja tool at night.
Seeing that Mu Yue was so busy, how could Zhishui have the nerve to trouble Mu Yue with something as trivial as a birthday? After a birthday, his strength would not increase, which would do no good to him or Mu Yue.
“It just means one year older.” Zhisui said while sitting in the yard looking at the bright moon in the sky.
After thinking about some random things, Shisui finally chose to practice ninjutsu.
Possibly due to confusion, this time Shisui had two of his four shurikens without flames attached.
"So that's it..." Shisui understood why Obito failed to release during the day.
On the other side, Mu Yue gathered the disciples except Zhishui.
“Do you know what day tomorrow is?” Mu Yue asked.
