Hokage, no one knows better than me how to cultivate talent.

Chapter 104 Instructions on Breathing Techniques

"Qiusui, your idea is absolutely brilliant!" Fujino Daikuma slapped his thigh. "Not only does it save teachers a lot of time, but it also lets students manage themselves—it's a win-win situation!"

"I feel that all the teachers in the school should learn from your management style," Koji Murata exclaimed sincerely.

"I really learned a lot from your class this time." Matsumoto Mie looked regretful, wishing she could turn back time. "If I had known there was so much useful information, I should have gone sooner."

The others joined in the joke.

On Sunday morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten, and the air still carried the unique coolness of the early morning.

Although Shusui stipulated that weekend training time should be before 8:00 AM, Sasuke got up at 6:30 AM.

This is his requirement for himself: to always be one step ahead of others.

Moreover, he always managed to squeeze out an extra hour of training time compared to Naruto and Hinata.

An hour may not seem like much, but over time, it can make you far ahead of them.

He quickly washed up, ate breakfast, and arrived at the third training ground at exactly seven o'clock.

There was already someone in the training field.

Xiao Li was practicing kicking repeatedly in the center of the field by himself, his movements meticulous, and fine beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead, indicating that he had been there for a while.

Sasuke paused, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

Someone actually got here even earlier than him?

He frowned slightly.

Sasuke absolutely refused to allow anyone to be faster than him, so he decided to arrive half an hour earlier the next morning.

Qiu Shui arrived at the third training ground precisely at eight o'clock in the morning.

The morning training proceeded as usual, starting with a test and followed by sparring.

After several rounds of fighting, Sasuke still emerged victorious.

The other three, however, once again shouldered a not-too-heavy debt of practice problems.

Naruto's eyes reddened as he watched Sasuke receive another reward.

Hinata Hyuga also looked envious.

Xiao Li didn't have time to think about it, because he was not only burdened with hundreds of problems, but his daily training volume was also equal to the combined total of Naruto and the other two.

"Hinata, Sasuke, you should have both read the breathing technique training manual I gave you last time carefully." Shusui called Hinata and Sasuke over. "Today, I will begin teaching you how to learn the breathing technique."

Sasuke and Hinata immediately straightened their backs, looking intently at Shusui with anticipation in their eyes.

"Although the breathing technique I'm researching is a physical art, it's quite different from other physical arts," Qiu Shui said slowly. "It doesn't have particularly strict requirements for physical strength. The most important thing to learn the breathing technique is to change your original breathing method, to breathe skillfully, to inhale a large amount of oxygen into your body, and to let the oxygen enter every cell of your body to strengthen it at the cellular level, thereby comprehensively improving your strength and speed."

He paused, his gaze first falling on Sasuke.

"If Sasuke can learn the Flame Breathing Technique and enter a state of full concentration, not only will his strength increase, his speed increase, his mind become more active, and his body's healing speed increase, but when using fire-attribute ninjutsu, he can also reduce the hand seal time and greatly increase the power of ninjutsu."

Then, Shusui turned to Hinata.

"Hinata, if you can learn the Water Breathing Technique and enter a state of full concentration, you will also get the same effect, except that the target of the ninjutsu amplification will be water-style ninjutsu."

The more Sasuke and Hinata listened, the more they realized that this breathing technique was even more powerful than they had imagined.

"If you two can maintain full concentration in your breathing 24 hours a day, the speed at which your physiques will become stronger will be several times faster than they are now. If you fully master the corresponding breathing techniques, you will become top-tier taijutsu masters, as well as top-tier ninjutsu masters." Autumn Water hadn't finished yet, continuing to describe the wonderful future after the two learned the breathing techniques.

Sasuke's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He was secretly worried because his physique was not as good as Naruto's.

Naruto can create multiple shadow clones to train together, while he can only train alone.

Now, I hear that learning this breathing technique can multiply the training effect several times over. Although it still can't match Naruto's speed, the effect that would normally take five years of training can likely be achieved in just two and a half years after learning Total Concentration Breathing.

More importantly, if this breathing technique really has the effect that Master Shusui described, then he has taken another small step closer to his goal of taking revenge on Itachi Uchiha.

Hinata's mouth was slightly open, and she even felt that this breathing technique was more powerful than the Gentle Fist of the Hyuga clan.

"You two come with me, I'll demonstrate the effects of Flame Breathing and Water Breathing." Qiu Shui led the two to the riverbank.

He felt that only by letting Hinata and Sasuke witness the power of the breathing technique firsthand would they be more motivated to practice it.

"Breath of Flames: Total Concentration." Shusui took a deep breath, inhaling a large amount of oxygen into his body. Every cell seemed to be awakened in that instant, and power surged to his limbs and bones like a tide. At the same time, he concentrated a large amount of chakra in his throat, clapped his hands together, and shouted, "Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique."

The next moment, four fire dragons burst out of his mouth, their bodies blazing red and radiating intense heat, and they soared into the sky with bared fangs and claws.

Four fire dragons converged in the clouds, colliding violently and unleashing a deafening roar. The entire sky was dyed orange-red, and heat waves surged down from the sky, causing the leaves on the training ground to rustle.

The Great Dragon Fire Technique was originally just a B-rank Fire Release ninjutsu, but with the enhancement of the Fire Breathing Technique, its power far exceeds that of ordinary B-rank Fire Release ninjutsu.

As Qiushui felt the flow of chakra within his body, he secretly estimated that if he had injected more chakra just now, the power of this ninjutsu could probably have reached A-rank.

"There were four fire dragons... and each one was so long and huge." Sasuke looked up at the gradually fading flames in the sky, his face still showing shock. "The power of the ninjutsu has also increased a lot."

The Great Dragon Fire ninjutsu was taught to him by his teacher, Shusui, and he can use it now.

Sasuke always considered himself to be quite familiar with this ninjutsu and to have mastered it.

But now, seeing Teacher Qiushui's demonstration, he realized that his so-called familiarity was still too one-sided.

The Dragonfire he unleashed consisted of only one fire dragon, and its scale, quantity, and power were all significantly inferior to those released by Master Qiushui.

What bothered Sasuke even more was that he remembered when Shusui taught him this ninjutsu, he could only unleash three fire dragons, and the hand seals required two steps.

But now, Teacher Qiushui not only released four fire dragons directly, but even simplified the hand seals to just one tap.

"This... could this be the effect of the Flame Breathing Technique?" Sasuke's heart instantly burned with excitement.

If he learns the Breathing of Flames technique.

Even if he can only release two fire dragons like Master Shusui, with the hand seals halved, Naruto would be no match for him.

The gap in strength between him and that guy Uchiha Itachi will narrow again.

With that thought in mind, Sasuke took a deep breath, determined to learn the Fire Breathing Technique.

"Water Breathing: Total Concentration." Shusui took a deep breath, inhaling a large amount of oxygen into his body. At the same time, he gathered a large amount of chakra in his throat and clapped his hands together again, "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique."

next moment.

A giant water dragon made of water suddenly burst out of his mouth, soared into the air, drew an arc in the air, then changed direction and crashed vertically down into the center of the river.

boom.

A deafening explosion rang out, and waves of water shot skyward, rising more than ten meters high.

Countless fish and shrimp were thrown into the air by the huge shockwave, landing with a thud on the grassy shore, shimmering silver in the sunlight.

"This water dragon... it's so big and so long." Hinata's eyes widened, her face full of shock.

Although her teacher, Shusui, had never taught her this ninjutsu, she had studied all the water-style ninjutsu ever since Shusui taught her.

Therefore, Hinata recognized it as the Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet technique.

However, under normal circumstances, the water dragon created by this ninjutsu is only a dozen meters long and no bigger than an adult.

Why did the water dragon that Teacher Qiushui used more than double in length and become three or four times larger?

Moreover, just hovering in the air carries a suffocating sense of oppression.

What puzzled Hinata even more was that this ninjutsu required forming many hand seals, didn't it?

But she clearly saw that Teacher Qiushui simply clapped his hands and released it.

Could it be that Teacher Qiushui's hand seal speed is so fast that I can't even see it with my naked eye?

Or is this also an effect of the Water Breathing Technique?

Hinata silently guessed to herself.

"Once you master the breathing techniques, you'll become just as strong." Shusui turned around, looking at Sasuke and Hinata with a serious expression, and encouraged them, "Maybe you'll be even stronger than me."

"Don't worry, Master Shusui, I will definitely practice hard." Sasuke nodded solemnly with a determined look in his eyes.

All he could think about now was how to quickly learn the Flame Breathing Technique and the scene of Shusui using ninjutsu earlier.

Hinata nodded heavily.

If she could use the Water Dragon Bullet Technique like Master Shusui, she would not only surprise her father, but perhaps even Neji would be no match for her.

"Then let's begin our training." Shusui straightened up, his relaxed demeanor from when he was demonstrating the ninjutsu vanished, and his expression became serious. "The breathing methods of the Flame Breathing Technique and the Water Breathing Technique are different. I'll start by talking about the Flame Breathing Technique that Sasuke is learning."

He began to demonstrate as he spoke.

"First, inhale for four seconds, then hold your breath for two seconds, then exhale explosively for one second, and finally relax naturally for three seconds. Practice this with your running pace each time you run, inhaling slowly every three steps, and exhaling explosively for the last step to sprint."
