Upon arriving at the shop, Aoki immediately prepared his tools and began forging weapons. Each strike on the metal, each spark from the iron anvil, brought Aoki closer to his ambitions.
Even though the workday had ended, Aoki's spirit did not wane. After ensuring that all the weapons he crafted were perfect, Aoki got ready to head to the training ground with Sakumo, prepared for a more challenging day ahead.
Time passed quickly. For a full month, Aoki followed a rigorous and disciplined routine. Each morning began with relentless physical training.
The weights that Aoki always wore on his hands and feet had become a part of him, strengthening the muscles and stamina in his body.
This training not only made Aoki's body tougher but also sharpened his mental resilience. Aoki knew that every drop of sweat that fell was a small step toward his goal.
After Aoki finished training his body, he would take a shower to refresh himself before preparing meals. This routine was not just to maintain Aoki's physical health but also to preserve his peace of mind. Cooking, though simple, provided Aoki with moments of reflection and tranquility amidst a busy schedule.
After that, Aoki would begin practicing absorbing Natural Energy, a process that had now become a part of him. With each meditation session, Aoki felt a deeper connection with Natural Energy, and his body became increasingly accustomed to the energy flowing through him.
During the day, Aoki worked at his boss's shop, forging weapons with dedication. Each sword Aoki crafted was a work of art, shaped with the precision he inherited from his father. Despite working hard, Aoki's thoughts always returned to sword training, the techniques he was developing, and his grand goal of becoming the strongest swordsman.
The evenings were reserved for honing his sword skills with Sakumo. In each training session, Sakumo would push Aoki to his limits, teaching techniques that could only be learned through years of experience.
However, there were times when Sakumo had to leave on missions, leaving Aoki to train alone. Even when left by himself, Aoki did not waste time. He used these moments to develop the Breathing Techniques he had learned from the anime of his old world, the world of Kimetsu no Yaiba.
The first technique Aoki chose to develop was Mizu no Kokyu (Water Breathing). Aoki selected this technique because it was the easiest to replicate and he had a clear image of it in his mind.
Mizu no Kokyu, with its eleven distinctive styles, provided flexibility and adaptability in various combat situations. This training was not just about mimicking movements but also about perfecting the control of Breath and Chakra Flow, along with the accompanying Natural Energy. Each movement felt like flowing with the current of water, gentle yet deadly.
Aoki realized that the other two techniques, Hono no Kokyu (Flame Breathing) and Kaminari no Kokyu (Thunder Breathing), might be more challenging to develop. Hono no Kokyu, with its five styles that Aoki knew, required mastery of the Fire Element, which was difficult to achieve without sufficient Chakra. Meanwhile, Kaminari no Kokyu, with its seven styles, demanded extraordinary speed and precision, something Aoki was still developing within himself.
However, Aoki was not in a hurry. He knew that mastering all these techniques would take a very long time, perhaps years. Therefore, Aoki focused on Mizu no Kokyu, which he believed could provide the greatest advantage in battle.
With each training session, Aoki grew closer to fully mastering this technique, and he began to think about how to integrate unique elements from the world of Naruto into the breathing style he had learned.
With determination and perseverance, Aoki continued to train, understanding that each passing day was one step closer to his dream.
