"I didn't expect to lose to you in the end."
Nawaki sighed and said.
A year ago, when he first sparred with Natsuki, he had been shocked by his swordsmanship.
To avoid being overtaken, he had spent the entire year diligently studying Chakra Enhanced Strength and Water Release.
He thought he could maintain the gap between them, but after only a year, he was defeated.
It left him, soone who had been called a genius since childhood, feeling a little lost.
"I had the advantage of a self-created technique."
Natsuki withdrew his wooden sword and explained.
"Self-created techniques are also proof of strength."
Nawaki shook his head and said.
Although losing to Natsuki made him feel conflicted, a loss was a loss. He would not make excuses.
"You both perford very well."
Orochimaru interrupted their conversation.
Now, Nawaki had mastered Chakra Enhanced Strength and several Water Release ninjutsu, giving him strength comparable to an elite Chunin.
And he was only eleven years old this year. His future was limitless.
There was no need to ntion Natsuki.
Being able to create sword techniques, ninjutsu, and secret techniques at eight years old, given enough ti, becoming the next Senju Tobirama would not be a problem.
Most importantly, they were both his students.
For a mont, Orochimaru was very satisfied.
"Let's fight again next ti."
Nawaki quickly recovered his mood and said with a smile, "I've already figured out your self-created technique."
"Maybe by then, I'll have a new secret technique."
Natsuki blinked and said.
The corner of Nawaki's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
[You have awakened the Kamado Tanjiro Template.]
Who did you say?
Natsuki's heart jumped, followed by excitent.
Kamado Tanjiro was the protagonist of Demon Slayer.
Why would the Kamado Tanjiro Template awaken because of Nawaki?
Natsuki quickly looked at the Kamado Tanjiro Template.
[Na: Kamado Tanjiro.]
[Period: Before Mt. Natagumo.]
[World: Demon Slayer.]
[Rank: B-Rank.]
[Ability One: Water Breathing, Unlocked.]
[Effect: A combination of the original breathing thod and Water Release. While improving physical abilities, it can enhance the power of Water Release.]
[Ability Two: Water Breathing: First Form, Second Form, Third Form, Locked.]
[Effect: The first three forms of Water Breathing.]
[Unlock Condition: Achieve beginner-level Water Release Chakra Nature Transformation.]
[Ability Three: Water Breathing: Fourth Form, Fifth Form, Sixth Form, Locked.]
[Effect: The middle three forms of Water Breathing.]
[Unlock Condition: Defeat three Chunin and three Tokubetsu Jonin who specialize in Water Release or sword techniques, respectively.]
[Ability Four: Water Breathing: Seventh Form, Eighth Form, Ninth Form, Locked.]
[Effect: The last three forms of Water Breathing.]
[Unlock Condition: Achieve proficient-level Water Release Chakra Nature Transformation.]
[Ability Five: Water Breathing: Tenth Form, Constant Flux, Locked.]
[Effect: Like a coiled dragon, continuously unleash several rotating slashes.]
[Unlock Condition: Completely master Water Breathing and activate Total Concentration: Constant.]
After reading it, Natsuki thought to himself, As expected.
Kamado Tanjiro knew Water Breathing and Sun Breathing, but the template only provided Water Breathing.
This was undoubtedly related to Nawaki's Water Release.
Natsuki stood in place, digesting the information about Water Breathing in his mind.
The essence of the breathing thods in Demon Slayer was to strengthen cardiopulmonary function, absorbing a large amount of oxygen in a short ti to improve physical abilities.
Only after combining them with various sword techniques did styles like Water, Thunder, Fla, Stone, and Wind erge.
Although they looked as if they had attributes, they were actually based on physical attacks, with sword energy as a supplent.
However, after the system's modification, Water Breathing had beco true Water Breathing, combining Water Release with the breathing thod.
It could not only improve physical abilities, but also increase the power of Water Release.
This ant that Water Release in the shinobi world could also benefit from Water Breathing's enhancent.
Because of this, after mastering Water Breathing, Natsuki automatically acquired the Water attribute.
Combined with his previous Earth and Wind attributes, he now possessed three chakra attributes.
For him, this was undoubtedly an unexpected bonus.
And with the Water attribute, eting the unlock condition for Ability Two would be easier.
It required beginner-level Water Release Chakra Nature Transformation.
Chakra transformation was divided into Shape Transformation and Nature Transformation.
Shape Transformation, as the na implied, referred to the form that chakra or ninjutsu took.
For example, the Rasengan was called the pinnacle of Shape Transformation because its form was not fixed. It belonged to irregular rotation.
Nature Transformation was turning chakra without an attribute into chakra with an attribute, such as Earth Release, Lightning Release, or Wind Release.
Natsuki already possessed the Water attribute.
Beginner-level Water Release Chakra Nature Transformation required him to be able to convert his chakra into Water Release anyti and anywhere.
Proficient-level and mastery-level Water Release Chakra Nature Transformation required more. It required him to be able to shape Water Release chakra into any form.
This was also the unlock condition for Ability Four.
Among the four abilities, in Natsuki's view, the unlock conditions for Ability Two and Ability Three were the simplest.
They could be completed as long as he had enough ti.
Although defeating three Tokubetsu Jonin specializing in Water Release or sword techniques would be very troubleso.
The hardest one to unlock was undoubtedly Ability Five.
Its requirent was to activate Total Concentration: Constant for Water Breathing.
Simply put, it ant keeping Water Breathing active twenty-four hours a day, allowing his base physical strength to improve.
It was difficult, but if he mastered Total Concentration: Constant, it would an he was training his body around the clock.
Whether it was taijutsu or sword techniques, both would receive a corresponding boost.
In battle, that was also a huge advantage.
"Nawaki-senpai, can you teach Water Release Chakra Nature Transformation?"
Natsuki steadied himself and asked.
"Why do you suddenly want to learn Water Release?"
Nawaki was slightly stunned and asked subconsciously.
"Creating two Shadow Techniques, which are Yin Release ninjutsu, is already my limit."
Natsuki said half-truthfully, "My next plan is to create Water Release ninjutsu. You know, the Second Hokage is my idol."
Nawaki opened his mouth and was speechless for a long while.
Although learning Water Release was indeed simpler than learning Yin Release, creating Water Release ninjutsu was not the sa as learning it. The difficulty was on a completely different level.
Moreover, at Natsuki's age, learning Water Release was already very difficult.
Normally, mastering two chakra attributes was enough to qualify soone as a Jonin.
"Then can I learn the Water Release you create?"
Nawaki ca back to his senses and asked curiously.
"If there's any Water Release suitable for you, I'll teach it to you."
Natsuki replied.
How should he put it?
Nawaki definitely could not learn the ten sword forms of Water Breathing because he did not know sword techniques.
But he might be able to learn Water Breathing itself.
Natsuki could use this to test whether the character abilities he obtained could be passed on to others.
"When the ti cos, I'll also teach you the Water Release I've learned."
Nawaki said after hearing this.
He had always been soone who valued fairness.
Natsuki nodded.
Tobirama's Water Release was indeed very good.
He had Water Breathing to increase the power of Water Release, so learning a few Water Release techniques would not be a bad thing.
