Although Aoki already had an idea of how to use the Breathing techniques from Kimetsu no Yaiba, he was still filled with doubt. Was Aoki talented enough? Was he a genius capable of creating great sword techniques from scratch?
These questions lingered in Aoki's mind. He knew well that developing techniques like this could take a long time—or even be impossible. Aoki wasn't sure how long it would take for him to master the technique perfectly and smoothly.

(Flashback No Jutsu)
Aoki began trying to develop the Breathing techniques from Kimetsu no Yaiba in the world of Naruto. At that time, Sakumo was on a mission, giving Aoki some free time to experiment.
Aoki made the most of this opportunity. He knew that his training location had to be far from crowds, so that his efforts would remain hidden.
As a civilian without the support of a Clan, Aoki was aware of the risks if someone discovered his unusual powers. Major Clans might target Aoki, or he could get caught up in unwanted conflicts.
Aoki decided to venture deep into the forest, further than where he usually trained. The forest located behind the Hokage Rock was quiet and far from settlements. There, Aoki could try to develop his techniques without worrying about being watched.
However, this forest was not without danger. Aoki knew that the Anbu often came and went to check the surrounding areas. But Aoki was confident he would not be detected.
The main reason Aoki felt this way was that his Chakra reserves were very low—too low to be noticed by Anbu sensors. In a place filled with animals that also had low Chakra, Aoki's presence would be camouflaged like dust among sand.
Every living being indeed has Chakra, but only a handful of people can control and extract it efficiently. There are also people like Aoki, Duy, Guy, and Rock Lee, who were born with very little Chakra.
Aoki stood among the towering trees, blending perfectly with the surrounding nature. His low Chakra made him almost invisible, no more than a faint shadow in the eyes of the Anbu watching the forest.
They could not track Aoki. Ironically, this gave Aoki an advantage. Although his Chakra was limited, he could sense the presence of the Anbu through the Natural Energy enveloping his body. It felt like a sweet irony—despite being weak in terms of Chakra, in this situation, it was precisely that which made Aoki undetectable.
Aoki sensed the Chakra of the Anbu in the distance, moving quietly and disciplined.
"Maybe this is the first time I'm grateful for having so little Chakra," Aoki thought with a faint smile.
In this high-alert situation, Aoki decided to make use of his time by practicing the new technique he had long desired, Mizu no Kokyu—Water Breathing. However, to practice this technique, Aoki had to be extra careful. He knew that one mistake could endanger his life.
First, Aoki had to stay away from crowds. Second, he needed to ensure that his training location was always changing so that his trail wouldn't be detected by anyone. After hours of searching for the perfect spot, Aoki finally found a natural cave, hidden behind dense trees. The cave was well-concealed, almost untouched by humans.
"Here, perhaps I can train in peace," Aoki thought.
Aoki positioned himself in the middle of the cave, taking a deep breath. He prepared to practice the first technique of Mizu no Kokyu: Ichi no Kata: Minamo Giri (Water Breathing: First Form: Surface Slice).
In Aoki's mind, the movement seemed simple—slicing through the air smoothly like the surface of water being cut by a sword. However, the reality was much more difficult.
