After a long while, Aoki Yoru finished explaining how to breathe and how to utilize attribute Chakra to them in detail, specifically pointing out how to break through several key joints, along with various small techniques.
This was all based on his previous experience, combined with what he had explored through today's training. It could be said that as long as one had a certain level of comprehension, following these insights would sooner or later lead to success.
Afterward, the others dispersed, going off to practice as if they had obtained a precious treasure.
Aoki Yoru also stood up, brushed off his bottom, and walked to the side to prepare for training.
He needed to develop the other five forms of Thunder Breathing as soon as possible. The initial six forms each had their own characteristics and were very useful to him.
As for the'Seventh Form: Honoikazuchi' that Zenitsu developed himself, it was a combination of the first six forms. He would build the foundation first, then see if he could develop forms suitable for himself later.
Suddenly, Aoki Yoru thought of Yoriichi Tsugikuni's Sun Breathing. He wondered what the principle behind it was.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Aoki Yoru paused, his eyes widening abruptly, a scorching light bursting forth from his gaze.
He suddenly realized that Sun Breathing used an extremely regular, high-concentration breathing method to make the blood and cells in the body produce life energy.
The most representative life energy in the human body was Yang Release Chakra, so could he stimulate the extraction of Yang Release Chakra through breathing?
Aoki Yoru immediately concentrated his mental energy and carefully scanned himself from the inside out.
Subsequently, Aoki Yoru suddenly raised his head, his eyes shining like a burning fire, his mouth uncontrollably grinning wildly, stretching all the way to his earlobes.
It wasn't a gentle smile, but an irrepressible, explosive ecstasy, his exposed teeth even gleaming.
There was a subtle increase in the Yang Release Chakra within his body. Although it was only a sliver, it had definitely increased.
This was still just Thunder Breathing, which was simplified from Sun Breathing. If it were Sun Breathing, could it completely activate the Yang Release in his body?
Since he started extracting Chakra, apart from the increase in Yang Release when White Zetsu cells were implanted into his body, this was the first time.
The White Zetsu cells were foreign objects, like a ticking time bomb buried in his body. He had never dared to use them much, fearing a backlash.
He had usually been worried about what to do, having no ideas, and had even thought about sealing the Nine-Tailed Chakra into his body to see if there would be any gains. He hadn't expected his luck to turn; he had actually found a breakthrough point here.
As for Yoriichi Tsugikuni dying young, that was because the world was different. He forcefully stimulated his cells, consuming life energy, so of course he died young.
But the Ninja World had Chakra and Natural Energy. The human body had 130 trillion cells, 3-4 times more than a normal person, which was incomparable.
"Hahaha—"
In high spirits, Aoki Yoru laughed unbridledly. He had found the key to the Super Kage level.
Although the other path he had envisioned previously could also reach the Super Kage level, if the two were combined, he was confident of reaching the level of Hashirama and Uchiha Madara within a year or two.
In the field, Kakashi and the others looked over curiously. What was wrong with him? Had he found a wife? Why was he laughing so happily?
The sun set, and the twilight deepened.
At this moment, only Sasuke was tirelessly practicing the breathing method in the field, but due to his impatient mentality, he could not get started.
Even though Aoki Yoru had told him repeatedly to calm his heart, every time he calmed down, he would think of the scene of his clansmen being brutally murdered. In the past, he would always exhaust himself until he could fall asleep.
Aoki Yoru could do nothing about this and could only say to him, "When you can truly calm your heart and think, that is when you will start to catch up to Uchiha Itachi."
Sasuke had taken it to heart and had been meditating all day, but the effect was not good. His obsession was too deep; it would take a long time for him to master the breathing method.
At this time, Aoki Yoru, Kakashi, and the two teammates were having a barbecue.
It was rare for Team 6 to have a chance to get together, so Aoki Yoru suggested a barbecue. As for food, there was plenty in the Forest of Death.
Kakashi's talent was the strongest among Kenta and the others, and coupled with his understanding of the nature of Lightning Release, he easily mastered the Thunder Breathing method.
Yui and Kenta were slightly inferior. They were not good at Lightning Release either, so they still had to explore on their own, but they had already initially gotten started.
Aoki Yoru had never understood why the sons of the Six Paths, like Sasuke and Uchiha Madara, were not that stunning in strength during their growth period, but their strength would always explode in growth by the end.
Unlike Uchiha Itachi and Shisui, who had amazed everyone since childhood. Could the later growth be the influence of Indra's Chakra?
At this moment, Sasuke in the field did not know Aoki Yoru's internal monologue, and even if he did, he wouldn't care. His heart was filled with unwillingness. Clearly, he had been the top student at the Ninja Academy, while Senior Yoru and the others were only mediocre students in the class.
Why did it feel like the three of them were more talented than him now? They were all Kakashi's disciples, and the teaching was the same. Was he not working hard enough? But he was training all the time except when he was sleeping!
Thinking of this, Sasuke became increasingly impatient, and even his breathing became chaotic.
"Don't we need to help Sasuke? He's getting more and more impatient," Yui said with some concern.
"We can't help him; he has to walk out of this himself," Kakashi said with a lazy expression.
As Sasuke's teacher, he knew Sasuke's mental knot. He had to let him walk out of it himself. If his heart was not clear, everything he did would be half the effort for double the result.
Sasuke's current state was very similar to his own before, but he was heartbroken, while Sasuke was mentally chaotic.
He had to let him see through it himself. Persuasion from others was useless. If you haven't experienced his suffering, you can't understand him at all.
Just as Aoki Yoru and the others were taking advantage of the rare opportunity to have a team-building session.
"Whoosh—"
A figure suddenly appeared in front of the crowd, kneeling on one knee, with a low and respectful voice:
"Jonin Hatake, Jonin Aoki, the Fifth Generation summons you urgently."
Aoki Yoru and Kakashi looked at each other. Why were they being summoned so late?
"Hokage-sama, you wouldn't make me do all these missions, would you?"
Aoki Yoru raised the pile of mission slips in his hand, which was absurdly thick, his face full of surprise.
"Of course not."
Just as Tsunade's voice fell, Aoki Yoru had only just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Tsunade add:
"This is just your workload for one week. You must complete them all within a week. There are even more waiting for you later."
The lifeless expression on Aoki Yoru's face instantly froze, his whole body stiffened as if struck by lightning, and the mission slips in his hand nearly fell to the ground with a "clatter."
"One week?! Lady Tsunade, are you trying to work me like a donkey?!"
"Yeah, Hokage-sama, asking me to finish in a week, you're making things difficult for me," Kakashi looked at the mission list with black lines on his face. He would almost have to run all over the Land of Fire in seven days.
Tsunade, sitting in the main seat, spread her hands, "There's no other way. For the Chunin Exams, the old man has retracted all forces into the Village, and missions have been accumulating for a month and a half."
"Now people outside are staring at the Village. If the missions are not completed, it will convey the message that the Village has suffered heavy losses, is already contracting, and cannot complete more missions."
"By then, not only will several major powers be eyeing us covetously, but merchants will also entrust missions to other countries. This would be a huge blow to Konoha."
