Flame Breathing can unexpectedly enhance the power of Fire Release!
In the Naruto universe, Flame Breathing can also enhance physical abilities, but that is not its primary purpose. The main role of Flame Breathing is to strengthen Fire Release.
To begin Flame Breathing, one can use Total Concentration Breathing, instantly boosting the speed of Chakra Nature Transformation of the fire attribute and enhancing the power of flames.
After becoming proficient in Flame Breathing, one can enter a Constant state, normalizing the effects of accelerated Nature Transformation and enhanced flame power. Additionally, there is a stronger explosive force.
The mastered Mark State is incredibly terrifying. It allows the instantaneous conversion of all Chakra into flames without any hindrance, enabling the immediate casting of all Fire Release Ninjutsu without the need for hand seals, greatly enhancing the power of the flames.
After undergoing systematic modifications, Flame Breathing has little connection to the original from the Demon Slayer world. There is no need for a sword, and it can be described as a Fire Release Chakra Mode.
In the Naruto series, there are various Chakra Modes, with the Sage Mode being quite common and practical. If one is a Jinchuriki, there is the various stages of the Tailed Beast Chakra Mode, and there is also the Lightning Release Chakra Mode from the Hidden Cloud Village.
Mutsuki even considers the Susanoo as a kind of Chakra Mode, a Chakra Mode exclusive to the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Some Chakra Modes can be used in combination. Mutsuki can't help but wonder what would happen if Sage Mode and Flame Breathing's Mark State were used together – the power of Fire Release would likely become overwhelming.
Although the reward wasn't the anticipated Geppo, Mutsuki is still very satisfied.
The localized Flame Breathing has a potent effect, enhancing both his own strength and suiting his disciples' training.
Both Shisui and Obito primarily use Fire Release for their main offensive Ninjutsu, making them well-suited for Flame Breathing.
During dinner in the evening, Mutsuki informed Kushina about successfully mastering the Three-Fingers Seal.
"It's already mastered, It has already been a month huh? Time flies by pretty fast," Kushina exclaimed while taking a bite of her food.
"Not a full month, it's been twenty-seven days," Minato corrected.
He remembered when Kushina gave Mutsuki the Three Fingers Seal, counted the days, and realized that Mutsuki's training speed was a few days faster than what Kushina had initially anticipated.
"Twenty-seven days is close enough to a month. I can't predict the future, so it's not possible to be 100% accurate," Kushina waved her hand dismissively.
"But finishing earlier than my estimate shows that Mutsuki, your talent for Sealing Jutsu is indeed impressive," Kushina praised.
"I happen to have just finished writing down my insights on practicing Sealing Jutsu. After dinner, I'll share my thoughts and the Sealing Jutsu you'll be practicing next," she added.
"I've also written down some reflections from my own Sealing Jutsu training. It might not be as professional as Kushina's, but it should still be helpful for you," Minato said.
Although he learned Sealing Jutsu entirely from Kushina, everyone has different thoughts during their learning process. Minato believed that his insights might also provide some assistance to Mutsuki.
"Thanks, Kushina Sensei and Minato Sensei," Mutsuki expressed his gratitude.
"In that case, make something delicious for Minato and I to taste," Kushina said with a hearty laugh.
Although she didn't feel like she had worked that hard, since Mutsuki mentioned it, she didn't want to miss the opportunity to have him acknowledge their efforts.
"Can you both handle spicy food?" Mutsuki asked after giving it some thought.
During their previous cooking session, he made Mapo Tofu. If he remembered correctly, it was a recipe from the Shokugeki no Soma side, and the taste should be exceptional.
"No problem, Mutsuki, just go ahead and make it spicy," Kushina replied.
"That's fine, I can handle it," Minato added after considering for a moment.
They figured that if one dish turned out to be too spicy, they could just avoid eating the chili peppers.
"In that case, it's settled. Tomorrow night, I'll make a dish that's so delicious it'll even shine!" Mutsuki said with a smile.
"I wonder if 'shining' in cooking means you've added something strange inside," Kushina teased.
"Could it be that when cooking reaches the pinnacle of deliciousness, it really shines?" Minato earnestly pondered the question.
He recalled that Mutsuki's egg fried rice seemed to glow subtly when he made it before.
After dinner, Kushina and Minato returned home, grabbed their insights on training, and once again entered Mutsuki's room.
The two handed over a scroll to Mutsuki, who accepted it with thanks.
"The scroll on Sealing Jutsu contains a total of three techniques. Aside from the Five Finger Seal and its corresponding advanced Sealing Jutsu, there's also a Contract Seal. It should be enough for you to practice for a year," Kushina explained.
"They all sound challenging, but I'll probably be coming to you both with questions often," Mutsuki said with a smile after placing the scroll aside.
"Feel free to ask. While it might not be easy for you, these are things I'm more familiar with than anything else," Kushina said confidently.
After Kushina and Minato left, Mutsuki took the Sealing Jutsu scroll to the second floor to begin studying.
Opening the Sealing Jutsu scroll, Mutsuki discovered that the advanced Ninjutsu corresponding to the Five Finger Seal was, in fact, the Five Elements Seal.
Mutsuki thought to himself that Kushina was indeed bold and had a lot of confidence in his talents, giving him direct access to such an advanced Sealing Jutsu like the Five Elements Seal.
Having studied Sealing Jutsu for some time, he knew the significance of a Sealing Jutsu at the level of the Five Elements Seal. It represented an extremely high-difficulty Sealing Jutsu, one that even a skilled Jonin specializing in Sealing Jutsu might struggle to master.
Mutsuki felt that the existence of the Five Finger Seal might be to reduce the difficulty of learning the Five Elements Seal.
As for the Contract Seal, Mutsuki found it intriguing. The Contract Seal could sever the contractual relationship between the practitioner and a summoned creature, causing the practitioner to lose control over their Summoning Jutsu and preventing them from summoning again.
Since it could sever a contract, Mutsuki speculated that with some modifications, it might be possible to sever other types of relationships.
Mutsuki had always suspected that the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal might have an actively triggered function. Given Danzo's caution, it wasn't entirely implausible.
"If I can sever the relationship between the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal and Danzo, the threat posed by the Cursed Tongue Eradication to me will be significantly reduced. The triggering condition for the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal is revealing the secrets of Danzo and the Foundation. As long as I never speak those, it will never activate," Mutsuki thought to himself.
"First, I'll learn the Five Finger Seal, then proceed to the Five Elements Seal and Contract Seal. Aim to finish them within a month," Mutsuki planned in his mind. He still had two proficiency scrolls for Ninjutsu, which could instantly elevate his basic Ninjutsu to proficiency level. He intended to use them for the Five Elements Seal and Contract Seal.
Once these two Sealing Jutsu reached proficiency level, they would provide him with more insights into Sealing Jutsu knowledge.
...
On Monday afternoon, Mutsuki began the practical test.
At this point, the students in the summer special training had been studying for two weeks, each making some progress.
The rules for the practical test were similar to the practical exams at the ninja school, involving randomly selecting opponents.
