The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 79 Chakra Breathing
A ninja's physical fitness is related to two aspects.

The first is natural physical talent, but in the ninja world, there is not much difference between humans in this regard.

What really plays a decisive role is the body activation phenomenon brought about by chakra.

Activation can enhance the body's strength, speed and even recovery.

Therefore, only ninja school students like Obito, whose bodies have not yet fully grown, can easily climb walls and run on rooftops, or easily defeat ordinary adults.

Even Hashirama Senju, who is known as the God of Ninja, owes his incredible recovery ability to the power of chakra.

This can be seen from the fact that he was about to commit suicide with a kunai in order to persuade Uchiha Madara, and that he was covered in bruises at the end of the battle at the Valley of the End.

As long as his chakra is deliberately restricted or exhausted, Hashirama's physical fitness is actually not much better than that of an ordinary ninja.

It is not difficult to see that the level of activation depends on the amount of chakra contained in the human body.

Therefore, a ninja with good physical fitness must not only have a large amount of chakra, but also have a developed meridian system.

Because the meridian system is like a high-speed channel for chakras.

The thicker the main trunk of the meridian is and the more branches it has, the more unimpeded the chakra can reach each cell, thereby better improving the activation level.

The reason why the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu can change destiny is that it breaks through the limits of the human body.

In fact, it is to unlock the eight hubs in the meridians that limit the amount of chakra, forcing the chakra to flow more and faster in the meridians, thereby temporarily increasing the body's activity level.

Of course, the price is that the practitioner must perform hard training that is unimaginable to ordinary people for ten years every day in order to withstand the damage caused by the huge amount of chakra flowing in the meridians.

Unfortunately, Hideki's chakra amount and meridian system are mediocre.

Even if you want to learn the Eight Gates Ninjutsu, you don't even meet the most basic physical fitness requirements.

So Hideki had to find another way and start from other directions.

What inspired him was the Seven Days Calling Method, which can also improve the activation level.

This is a secret technique created by Shira of the future Sand Village in the original work. It is said that by inhaling large amounts of oxygen, one can enhance the body's activity and gain power similar to the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu.

However, this is not the world of Demon Slayer, and this effect cannot be achieved by simply inhaling oxygen.

Therefore, Hideki reasonably deduced that Shira was actually attaching chakra to oxygen intentionally or unintentionally, and transferring it to various cells in the body with the help of the respiratory system.

Only in this way can he break through the limitations of the meridian system and gain strength and speed that surpass the limits of the human body.

It was based on this principle that Hideki developed the so-called Chakra Breathing Method.

It is not difficult to see that the upper limit of transmitting chakra through such a tricky method as the respiratory system is not as good as using the meridian system, a special high-speed channel.

Even Zi Luo in the original work could not continue to develop after the third activity.

However, this method is safer and simpler, which is just right for Hideki who just wants to make up for his shortcomings.

Moreover, as he possesses the skill of brainstorming, he is confident that he can continue to improve this skill and take it to a higher level in the future.

However, unlike Shiro who relies on talent and brute force and fights alone, academic ninjas like Hideki prefer to work together and perfect this technique by collecting large amounts of data.

He has now completed the first phase of development and plans to find students to teach once the workshop opens.

The only thing that worried him was that even though it was less difficult than the Eight Gates, the practice of this breathing method was still quite painful, and the students probably found it difficult to persist.

It just so happened that Obito had asked him for guidance in practicing the Great Fireball Technique.

Hideki suddenly had an idea, so he took advantage of the situation and taught him this method in advance.

The Great Fireball Technique can be used as a carrot dangling in front of Obito's eyes, allowing him to endure these painful training.

When he has learned enough, everyone will see that even the last-place Obito has made such an improvement, so they will naturally come to Hideki and ask him to give them the opportunity to practice.

By then, Hideki will have a large amount of data to refer to and can continue to improve this breathing method.

Obito on the side suddenly shivered, and a chill rushed from his tailbone to the top of his head.

He instinctively felt a strong sense of malice, but he didn't know where it came from.

At this moment, a coat was put on him, and then Hideki's gentle voice sounded:

"Go to the fire and warm yourself up. Be careful not to catch a cold."

Obito was suddenly moved and thought:

"Teacher Hideki is so nice to me..."

……

A few days later, it was the workshop's open day again.

Asma has been doubting her life lately.

Because since the point system was officially implemented, he found that many students were working hard to earn points every day.

And what they want to redeem is often the highest level reward - personal guidance from the Hokage.

It seemed that as long as he could redeem this reward, he would be accepted as a disciple by the Hokage-sama like Jiraiya-sama, and then rise to the top all the way to the position of Hokage...

This made Asuma feel strangely ashamed, because although his father, the Hokage, was very busy, he still managed to find time to guide him a few times a month.

I didn't expect that the treatment I had become accustomed to was actually the reward that everyone dreamed of...

This also made him start to doubt himself.

Could it be that I am not as talented as I thought, and I just spent a few hundred more 998 krypton than others to have my current strength...

Now, apart from the stall-setting skills, the only thing that can give him some confidence is what he has learned in the toy workshop.

Although he had only come to the workshop once, Asuma had already mastered the use of the Chakra Blade and quickly caught up with the main force.

This comforted him a lot and made him feel at ease with his talent.

Just today, Asuma spent half an hour making an exquisite fifth-order Rubik's Cube, which he prepared to give to Hong as a gift.

But before that, he decided to show it off to teacher Hideki so that he could confirm his talent again through the teacher's praise.

But he looked around and couldn't find the teacher.

After asking Mr. Know-It-All Ebisu, Asuma learned that the teacher was working in his own private studio next door.

Unable to wait any longer, he decided to go there directly.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw the teacher standing in front of a running machine, seemingly debugging something.

"Teacher, look at the magic I made..."

Asuma stepped forward and said.

But halfway through his speech, the rest of the words suddenly got stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them.

Because as he walked forward, he happened to see a large piece of wood being casually thrown into the feed port of the machine by the teacher.

As a result, when he walked over, countless small wooden parts were sent out by the machine's tracks like water and fell into a wooden box on the side.

And Asuma quickly recognized that these were the parts used to make the Rubik's Cube, and the quality was even better than the ones he made!

Looking at the Rubik's Cube parts that had suddenly piled up into a small mountain, Asuma glanced at the Rubik's Cube in his hand and suddenly felt a sense of boredom...

Asuma then left the studio in a daze, leaving Hideki beside him a little confused.

In fact, Asma had also heard that many factories had begun to use various machines to produce goods.

But he didn't expect that there would be such a machine in his teacher's toy workshop.

What was the point of his efforts just now?

Asma, feeling depressed, didn't want to go back to the temporary workshop for a while, so he walked out of the orphanage.

Then he saw two strange children fighting on the grass not far away.

One of them was wearing a green tights and the other was wearing a strange black helmet, neither of them looked like normal people.

At this moment, the guy in green suddenly ran over, gave a thumbs up and invited:

"Hey, I know you, you are the Hokage's son!"

"Would you like to have a youthful duel with us?"

After saying this he grinned, revealing a row of white, shining teeth.

Asuma remembered.

Isn’t this guy the Might Guy who is only good at physical skills? He seems to have graduated. Why is he here?

However, he was in a bad mood and didn't want to think about it, so he just shook his head to refuse.

"Akai, ignore this guy, let's move on."

At this time, the young man wearing a black helmet also came over and said.

Although the voice was muffled and difficult to identify, Asuma heard the other party's tone and seemed to know him, so he asked unhappily:

"Who are you? Why are you sneaking around wearing a weird helmet?"

The boy wearing a helmet is naturally Obito.

In fact, he has never liked Asuma, who always looks like "I am the son of Hokage and I am miserable."

Now wearing Darth Vader's helmet, he was even more fearless, so he said in a deep voice:

"I am your father..."

Paji——

Days of self-doubt and meaningless handicrafts had already caused Asuma to suppress a lot of emotions.

Obito's slight provocation was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing a nerve in Asuma's brain to short-circuit, and he clenched his fist and punched Obito...
