I teach kendo in the ninja world

"Lord Mizukage, envoys from Konoha and Sunagakure are here to visit."

"Oh?"

Goji Yagura raised his head from the pile of documents he was buried in and asked in confusion: "What are they here for?"

"I don't know. They said they brought letters from the Hokage and the Kazekage respectively, and they want to be handed over to you for review."

"letter?"

He smiled and said, "Who are all the people here?"

"The envoy of Konoha is Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, and Sunagakure is the Jounin puppet master, Azumi."

"Oh, Jiraiya?"

Yagura thought for a while and ordered, "Bring me the letter, and the two envoys will arrange to rest in the post house first."

"Yes!"

……

……

Kirigakure Village, Training Ground No. [-].

Hundreds of ninjas wearing standard gray vests were slashing at the waves.

And on the beach behind them, there were more than a dozen people in different costumes standing neatly in a row.

Araki looked at these ninjas who had made amazing progress in breathing techniques and said with a smile:

"Very good. You have completed the introductory stage of breathing practice. Now it's time to test your practice results in actual combat. It just so happens that you can practice sparring in pairs."

"The first group, Kaguya Black Bone, Rock Flow."

"The second group, Kaguya Barbarian Bones, Ghost Lantern Qingyue."

"The third group, Luo Bing, Ghost Lantern Chiyue."

……

"Group No. 17, Kaguya Silver Bone, Ghost Lantern Chiyue."

"Group No. 18, Kaguya snake bones, water lilies."

"Group No. 19, Ghost Lantern Full Moon, Dry Persimmon Kisame."

After finishing reading, Araki shook his head and felt a little emotional when he saw that the Kaguya and Oniden clans had jointly occupied almost half of the places.

The practice of breathing method requires some physical strength to support it. People who are not physically strong enough are still fighting in the sea over there.

Needless to say, the physique of the Kaguya clan is inherited from the immortal body of Hamura, the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths. This is their innate advantage and cannot be envied.

As for the Ghost Lantern clan, their physique is so compatible with [Water Breathing] that some of them have already reached the threshold of [Complete Concentration·Changzhong] without even having to teach them themselves.

It can only be said that God rewards us with food.

After being divided into groups, the fight naturally began.

It was just in this battle that the problem arose.

They fought fiercely, but in the eyes of others, there was an inexplicable awkwardness.

Araki looked at it for a long time, and finally came up with a more appropriate adjective - too unninja-like.

This does not mean that ninjas have to hide in the shadows, waiting for opportunities to strike, like poisonous snakes.But no matter what, the battle of ninjas can't just be "reckless", right?

What about tactics?

What about deception?

Including feints, harassment, etc., there is nothing left in their battle. There is only one word left in their battle, cut!

Even the Kaguya clan originally had the ability to cooperate in both distance and close combat.

Besides, if you have the advantage, then it’s okay for you to continue fighting like this. After all, victory can embrace everything.

But you obviously have to stumble back every time you receive a blow, why do you have to rush forward and strike next time?

Is this a delivery?

Araki carefully observed the expressions of these disadvantaged people and found that they all clenched their teeth and had a very strong desire to win in their eyes.

But why is it so rigid?

After a period of observation, Araki finally discovered the reason.

Their fighting rhythm was actually affected by the breathing method!

This is simply ridiculous. A secret battle technique that assists the outbreak has suddenly taken the lead and affected their original fighting rhythm.

Let all their actions follow the rhythm of the breathing method involuntarily.

For example, after taking a deep breath, take advantage of the moment when the blessing effect is strongest, and quickly attack, trying to reduce it ten times in one go.

And when this breath is about to run out, in order to avoid gaps between breathing transitions, they often play conservatively, switching from offense to defense until the next breath is taken in, and the cycle starts again.

There is nothing wrong with using strengths and avoiding weaknesses.

But the rhythm of the changes is so obvious and rigid, what is this?

This is the flaw!

After watching for a while, Araki waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Stop! Everyone come here!"

When they regrouped, he asked: "You guys have been fighting for a long time just now. How do you feel about it? Can you tell me about it?"

"More powerful!"

"It's faster!"

"More responsive!"

A lot of people below spoke one after another, but they all missed the point. Araki shook his head.

Until Gui Deng Man Yue frowned and said thoughtfully: "In the battle just now, I always felt restricted. Although the basic qualities of strength, speed, and reaction have been strengthened, the combat effectiveness has not been improved immediately. , but it seems that there is some frustration that cannot be fully expressed."

As soon as his words came out, they immediately aroused the echo of a few ninjas who were already relatively powerful.

They had this feeling just now, but they couldn't describe it clearly and accurately because they were not good at words.

"That's right!"

Araki clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention, "There are actually two reasons for this frustration. First, because you attach too much importance to the breathing technique, and always want to play the best when the breathing technique's blessing effect is strongest. When the blessing effect weakens, you give up the attack and avoid the damage. This mentality affects your normal judgment of the battle situation. You can only rely on you to adjust this problem.

"Secondly, it's because you haven't mastered the breathing method yet, and the gap between the two breathing transitions is too big. You yourself are very aware of this problem, so you will consciously avoid it every time, but you will An action method that is too regular will naturally be awkward in an ever-changing battle situation."

After Araki finished speaking, everyone below suddenly realized.

Gui Deng Man Yue then asked: "What should we do?"

"The first mentality issue requires you to adjust it yourself. I can only give you one sentence. The most suitable time to launch an attack is not the moment you reach your strongest point, but the gap between you and the enemy. The moment it reaches its maximum. This is a relative quantity, and you cannot just look at your own state.

"As for the second reason..."

Araki smiled mysteriously, took out a scroll from his arms, "I have prepared the next stage of training for you."

Bang!

The storage scroll exploded into a cloud of white smoke. After the seal was lifted, a large number of gourds about the height of a normal person's forearm fell to the ground, pushing into a mountain.

"Eh~~"

Looking at such a large number of gourds, Gui Deng Man Yue and others made puzzled sounds.

What does this thing have to do with their practice?

Araki looked at their doubtful eyes, with a pleasant smile on his face.

"The second stage of the breathing method is called [Full Concentration·Constant Breathing]. As the name suggests, it is to integrate the practice of breathing method into daily life and form a habit. Whether it is walking, eating, or even sleeping, You must maintain the state of practicing the breathing method at all times. In this way, you will become much more flexible in battle."

After hearing his introduction, Hei Gu, Man Yue, Kisame and others were greatly excited. This is what they need most now!

And then, in their dull eyes, Araki pointed to the pile of gourds and said: "The practice method of full concentration and constant breathing is - blowing the gourds!"

"Blow the gourd?"

Kaguya Hegugu touched the small horns on her forehead, "Are you going to use them as musical instruments to make sounds?"

He looked a little troubled. Although he was a big family with a history of thousands of years, how could anyone in the Kaguya family have any artistic talent?

If you ask him to play music, wouldn't that be making things difficult for him?

Contrary to him, Luo Bing, the young patriarch of the Snow Clan, showed a smug smile, "I have some experience in this matter. If you want to learn from Black Bone, I can teach you."

As the most gentle and artistic family in Kirigakure Village from appearance to personality, it is not an exaggeration for him to say this.

It's a pity that Araki's words destroyed his power in the next second.

Araki shook his head and smiled mysteriously, "No, this is not for playing music. What you have to do is to blow them up!"

"Blow, blow?!"

Luo Bing's eyes twitched, he grabbed a gourd and tapped the side wall lightly.

Boom!Boom!

"Instructor Araki, this..."

"That's right, this is a gourd that I asked the Gui Deng family to specially treat. Its hardness and toughness are stronger than ordinary gourds."

Araki said with a smile.

"Great!"

Before Luo Bing could continue to question, Kaguya Heigu, who had been frowning just now, jumped up and cheered loudly: "Long live the boss! This is how a real man blows a gourd!"

Then, he glanced at Luo Bing, who was a little stiff, and muttered: "Only women can play music. Of course, men should play whatever they want."

When Luo Bing heard these words, he was almost furious!

Even the corners of Araki's mouth twitched slightly.

You blow whatever you blow, do you think you are an air blower? !

"Okay, I've told you the method, and the first batch of props have been prepared for you. Let's start practicing! Today is the first day. Everyone only needs to blow up a small gourd."

Araki stopped their talk and brought the topic back on track.

"Wait, instructor Araki,"

Suddenly, Luo Bing seemed to have discovered some blind spot, and asked in a trembling voice, "Did you just say the word [small] gourd?"

"Ah...it seems so, right?"

Araki is confused, is there any problem with this?

"Will there be a bigger gourd blowing for us in the future?"

Luo Bing asked in disbelief.

"This……"

Araki thought about it and didn't hide it, "It's not that big, just half a person's size."

Bang!

Luo Bing fell to the ground and could not get up again.

Seeing this, Araki shrugged and felt helpless: "So, why do you want to inquire about these things that you can't bear? Haven't you heard a famous saying, the more you know, the more dangerous and painful it will be?"

Sa——

Suddenly, a capable ninja wearing an ANBU mask appeared beside Araki, half-kneeling on the ground, and said respectfully: "Sir Araki, Mizukage-sama has summoned him."
