Uchiha's Blade

When it comes to practicing breathing techniques, Zhenna has an innate advantage in terms of physical fitness.

A body that has been carefully polished over the years is like a well-maintained weapon that can exert great power whenever needed.

Therefore, Tomioka skipped the basic stage and directly explained the characteristics of water breathing to Mana in terms of state of mind and moves.

"Next, I will demonstrate to you the eleven types of water breathing."

Mana was surprised when he heard this: "Isn't there only ten types of water breathing? Last time I went to Saagiri Mountain, I heard Mr. Nintaki say this to Tanjiro."

Tomioka Yoshiyuki said: "No. 11 is a type I created myself. Because I felt it was not mature enough, I didn't explain it to others."

Strictly speaking, this is not the eleventh type of water breathing.

Mana suddenly became excited: "A homemade move? Mr. Tomioka is so awesome, I really want to see it!"

Tomioka Yoshiyuki pursed his lips and was silent for a long time before finally humming.

Mana always felt that he was getting a little nervous.

But when Tomioka Yoshiyuki pulled out the Nichirin Sword, the slightly nervous feeling before disappeared.

Breath of Water · One Shape · Water Surface Slash!

It seemed like a simple slash with no other tricks, but it exploded with astonishing power. It was like a blade breaking through the water in an instant, and the momentum was astonishing.

The simpler the moves, the more difficult they are to master. Tomioka Giyuu's attack was almost a perfect one.

From a practical point of view, Mana has many ways to avoid or counterattack this sword, but if we only focus on sword skills, Mana finds that there is nothing he can do about this sword, even under the Sharingan of the Three Magatama, She could only see this move clearly, but couldn't find a way to break it.

In her eyes, this was a flawless sword.

This can only show that Tomioka Yoshiyuki's swordsmanship level far exceeds hers.

Unlike Uzuru Tengen who uses weapons and ninja skills combined with sword skills and breathing techniques to fight, Tomioka Giyuu is purer and more focused, which allows him to bring his sword skills to the extreme.

Without allowing Mana to think any more, Giyuu Tomioka's second move had already been launched.

Breathing of Water·Two Types·Water Wheel

Breath of Water·Three Forms·Flowing Dance

Type [-]·Strike Tide

Five types, six types...

Tomioka Giyuu never stopped, one move after another, sometimes like the surging waves, sometimes like the twisting of a whirlpool, sometimes like the drizzle on the face, until...

Breath of Water·Eleven Type·Nagi

The mist and rain dissipated and the storm calmed down.

Type No. 11, created by Tomioka Giyu, is exactly as its name suggests: the storms subside and the water becomes clear and clear.

After a while, Mana exclaimed: "Mr. Tomioka, the No. 11 type just now is very powerful. I think you can tell Mr. Lintaki that there will be eleven types of water breathing in the future!"

Tomioka Giyuu gripped the knife tightly, and felt the same tension as before, which was completely different from the feeling when he swung the knife: "Do you really think that Nagi move can be called the No. 11 type? "

Mana nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, I think that move is very cool. Of course, Mr. Tomioka is also very powerful. He can already create his own water breathing style. I still can't create my own ninjutsu. I also imagine Tobirama-sama invented so many new techniques like that."

Tomioka Yoshiyuki pursed his lips and said, "Don't think so, you are different from me."

Mana: "...???"

Mana felt as if a huge boulder had hit her head. The heavy blow made her want to squat in the corner and grow mushrooms: "Mr. Tomioka, you will be disliked by others if you talk like this."

Even if it is true, saying this after someone has just praised you is too much!

Giyu Tomioka thought for three seconds and then spoke firmly: "I'm not disliked."

Mana: "..."

This was what they saw when Ubuyashiki Riya and the swordsman wearing a fire man mask walked in.

Tomioka Giyuu stood in the middle of the training ground with a cold expression on his knife, while Mana crouched in the shadow of the corner, looking at him full of resentment.

This scene made Uyashiki Teriya stunned for a moment.

Tomioka Giyuu greeted him consciously: "Sir Teriya-sama."

Mana weakly raised her hand and waved: "Hey, Terurizai."

Teriya asked: "What... happened to you guys?"

Mana glanced at Tomioka Giyu with resentment again: "Mr. Tomioka is teaching me water breathing."

Teriya nodded. He also knew that Mana planned to try to learn all breathing styles: "Isn't the progress going well?"

Mana said: "It can't be said that it didn't go well. Forget it, it has nothing to do with that. Let's not talk about it. Teriyaki, why did you come here specially?"

Teriya said: "This is Mr. Tetsuwa Chuan, the swordsmith. He sent you your Nichirin sword."

After Uyashiki Yōya agreed to Mana's request, the Demon Slayer Corps had already sent a letter to the swordsmiths' village to build her a Nichirin sword.

Because Mana has a familiar sword before, there is not much room for swordsmiths to use freely in making new swords. They can just copy the usual sword, but the Nichirin sword is mainly used to kill ghosts and kill people. The details of the sword are inevitably different, because we don’t know Mana’s specific breathing style and fighting habits, so the polishing of the details requires the swordsmith to communicate with her in person before making a decision.

Mr. Tie Hechuan was tall and wore a fire man mask, so he couldn't see his face clearly. He took off the Nichirin sword wrapped tightly in cloth from his back and said: "The sword is generally finished. You can take care of the next details." After you tell me, I will help you change it on the spot, and it will be done soon."

Mana asked: "Do you want to see the knife I used before?"

Mr. Tie Hechuan immediately said: "It would be best if there is a reference."

So Mana handed him the ninja sword she always carried with her: "Be careful, this sword is very sharp."

Mana's ninja sword was less than sixty centimeters long, so it was just right when held by Mana, but when held by the tall Mr. Tetsuwakawa, it looked like some kind of toy.

But Mr. Tie Hechuan didn't have this knife at all. The moment he pulled out the knife, he felt as if a cold light hit his face: "What a knife!"

Mr. Tie Hechuan couldn't help but admired, but he soon became surprised: "This is... the material for forging this knife. I have never seen it before? I have never seen such a color and texture before, and the texture is also different." completely different……"

Mana said: "This is made of a special metal that can conduct chakra, so it is very precious."

The production of chakra metal is very low, but for ninjas, a weapon that can conduct chakra can indeed greatly enhance their strength. Moreover, chakra metal does have excellent properties that ordinary metals do not have, so the price has always been high. No less.

For most ninjas, it is very rare to be able to incorporate a little chakra metal into their weapons. If they are to make weapons, one as big as a dagger is already extremely expensive.

Mana's ninja sword is 55 centimeters long, which is very petite for an ordinary sword, but extremely luxurious and 'huge' for a sword made of chakra metal.

Speaking of which, this sword was a promotion gift and birthday gift given to Mana by Madara Uchiha when she was promoted to Jonin.

Mana didn't want to ask how Madara Uchiha got so much of such a precious metal.

...With the Mangekyo Sharingan and Susanoo, there's nothing he can't get.

After carefully observing Mana's ninja sword and asking Mana some questions, Mr. Tetsuwakawa took out the tools and started working.

As he said, the remaining details will be completed soon.

So less than two hours later, Mana got his freshly made Nichirin sword.

Mr. Tetsawakawa looked even more excited than Mana himself: "Hurry up and take a look at the sword. The Nichirin sword will change color according to the user."

Mana nodded. She was also a little curious about the color of her Nichirin sword, so she didn't hesitate and pulled out the sword directly.

The blade, which was originally an ordinary metal color, quickly changed color after being taken out of the sheath.

"Ah, it's red and black."

"Double-colored knife?"

Mana held her Nichirin sword happily, and was very satisfied with the very 'Sharingan' color scheme of red and black. After hearing this, she asked curiously: "Are swords of two colors rare?"

Tomioka Giyu said: "Generally speaking, Nichirin swords do not come in too many colors, and most Nichirin swords only change color in one color."

Zhenna thought for a while: "I am a ninja, and I am not from your place. It is not surprising that I am different."

That seems to make sense.

Chakra talent is not uncommon in Mana's hometown. Wasn't the entire Demon Slayer Squad including Hashira wiped out?

Obviously there are some differences between people in the two worlds.

Mr. Tie Hechuan didn't think much about it at all: "Although it's a pity that it's not a pure red Nichirin sword, it can be regarded as red, right? Ah, I actually forged a red Nichirin sword. This is my The greatest blessing in my life is that I will die without any regrets..."

Mr. Tie Hechuan, who was tall with bulging muscles and looked like a tough guy, actually covered his face and started crying.

Mana asked: "Is there anything special about the red sword?"

Everyone's knives change color, but is there anything special about changing the color?

This question was answered by Teriya: "Because there is a legend that the Nichirin swords of the first team members who used the breathing method were red. However, most of the information has not been recorded in detail because of the age. Are there any other records from the swordsman? ?”

Mr. Tie Hechuan said: "There is no more specific content, but it is said that those who use the red Sun Sword are very powerful ghost hunters, and the red Sun Sword has not been seen for many years, so it is very rare. .”

To a certain extent, even swordsmiths are only aware of the red Nichirin sword as an "unknown" thing, but this mystery makes the red Nichirin sword a lifelong pursuit of swordsmiths.

Teriya nodded: "I understand. I will look for the previous documents and records later."

Anything that is beneficial to killing evil spirits will not be easily missed by the Ubuyashiki family.

In the past, I only thought that the red Nichirin Sword was a legendary thing. Now that I have seen the almost red Nichirin Sword with my own eyes, of course I have to take this news seriously.

Mana didn't think that much at all.

What's red and black? Isn't her Sharingan also red and black?

As an Uchiha, it's completely normal for the sword to be a little red.

After seeing off Mr. Tetsawakawa, the swordsmith, Teriya also asked Mana about it, and after learning that her training was going well, he planned to leave.

Before leaving, he specifically whispered to Mana: "If Mr. Tomioka is offended in any way, please don't mind. He is just not good at words, not malicious."

Zhenna nodded: "I understand."

If she hadn't known this, she would have had sex with Tomioka Giyu.

After Teriya left, Tomioka Giyuu continued to teach Mana how to breathe water.

The Sharingan of the Three Magatama has the effect of replicating the ninjutsu or taijutsu that it sees, so after the water breathing kata was demonstrated to Tomioka Giyu once, Mana has already memorized it, although it is definitely different from using it. There is still a gap between Tomioka Giyu, but this is a skill that needs time to be polished, and it is not within the scope that needs special attention at the moment.

Tomioka Giyuu mainly told Mana about the state of mind required for breathing water.

This is also the most difficult aspect of practicing water breathing.

Water Breathing requires the user to remain calm, to achieve a state of mind without distracting thoughts, and a clear mirror that stops the water.

This level of concentration is not easy to achieve. Even in the quietest environment, it is difficult for people to have no distracting thoughts.

Therefore, the practice of water breathing state of mind generally takes several years or even longer.

Zhenna asked: "Isn't this state a bit like eliminating distracting thoughts, staying still, and feeling nature?"

Isn't this similar to how she feels when she learns magic?

...Although Mana's senjutsu is still half-assed at the moment.

It would take her more than ten minutes just to enter the magical state, which was completely worthless in actual combat.

Ordinary chakra refers to the combination of spiritual energy and physical energy. Xianjutsu requires the integration of 'natural energy' on this basis, and maintains the three energies at one-third of each other to maintain balance.

No matter how much Mana's senjutsu has no practical value, it is a genuine fusion of senjutsu chakra, which means that she can already sense natural energy in a still state.

Zhenna simply sat down in the training ground: "It seems a bit troublesome to speak the language. I will just do it once and show it to you."

She sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and concentrated.

Tomioka Giyuu was surprised to find that Mana's aura was gradually disappearing, as if she was blending into the surrounding environment.

More than ten minutes later, Tomioka Giyuu felt that Mana was no different from the trees outside the window or the water in the pond.

At this time, Mana also changed.

Red patterns appeared on her face, like a circle of eye shadow applied around her eyes, and then one line extended from the bottom of the eyes to the temples, and there were three surrounding red magatama on her forehead. shape.

It was only then that Mana opened her eyes, and Giyu Tomioka discovered that the color of her pupils was also different from before.

It was neither the usual black nor the red of the Sharingan, but an unusually brilliant gold.

Mana said: "My current level is not yet able to move in sage mode, so I can only do this. Is it similar to water breathing?"

Tomioka Yoshiyuki thought for a while: "In the beginning, it was indeed a bit similar, but then it became less similar."

The breath of water allows the user to maintain a pure mental state without distracting thoughts, but it does not make the user's sense of existence completely disappear. People are still people, but Mana's sage mode is completely different.

Mana casually released the sage mode, the patterns on his face disappeared, and his eyes returned to black, and then he said: "So the state of water breathing is more like before entering the sage mode, no, it should be the state before absorbing natural energy. .”

Tomioka Giyu said: "You can't move in that state?"

If you can't move, of course you can't use a kata.

Mana said: "I haven't tried moving in that state yet, but if I don't need to enter sage mode, I can try it."

She took a deep breath, held the Nichirin Sword in her hand, and tried to enter the state of meditation before sage mode. After that...

Water Breath·One Type·Water Slash

Mana opened his eyes suddenly, and the Nichirin sword in his hand also drew a sharp trajectory.

The water breathing style was used successfully!

Being able to successfully use the kata means that Mana has indeed learned water breathing. Even though there is still a huge gap between her level and Tomioka Giyu, she is at least getting started.

Mana bowed to Tomioka Giyu very excitedly and said: "Mr. Tomioka, thank you very much for your guidance. Then I will go back first. You should also rest early. We have to travel tomorrow!"

She abandoned Tomioka Giyu and ran away without hesitation.

Tomioka Giyu: "I..."

Actually, I wasn't in any particular hurry.

... This sentence was not successfully spoken.

Moreover, this feeling of 'throw away after use' made Tomioka Yoshiyuki feel as pitiable as a decent girl who was abandoned by a scumbag after a one-night stand.

The Butterfly Ninja looked at Mana running back and asked with a smile: "Have you learned how to breathe water?"

Zhenna nodded: "After all, you have the foundation of insect breathing. Once you grasp the key points, it is still easy to learn."

Butterfly Ninja: "..."

No, even with the foundation of insect breathing, your speed is a bit too amazing.

Forcibly resisting the urge to complain, the Butterfly Ninja asked: "Have you decided what kind of breathing you want to learn next?"

Zhenna thought for a while: "Is there anyone else who is more free recently?"

Butterfly Ninja said: "It seems that Mr. Immortal River will finish a mission in two days and take a short break. Do you want to learn Breath of the Wind?"

Zhenna nodded: "I will learn it when he has time. By the way, I have considered this before, so I specially prepared a gift for him."

"Gift?"

"That's right," Mana said, "The last time I saw Mr. Fusukawa, I felt like he was not easy to get along with. It would be better to give him some gifts."

Butterfly Ninja asked curiously: "What gift do you want to give Mr. Immortal River?"

Mana chuckled: "Keep it secret!"

After releasing the crow with the Flying Thunder God Technique in advance, Mana sealed a large bag full of whitening and scar-removing ointment, and confidently headed towards the Immortal Kawa Saniya.

She will definitely get along well with Mr. Fusukawa!
