Chapter 92: Five Elements Seal and Contract Seal
The Flame Breathing can actually enhance the power of Fire Release!
The Naruto version of Flame Breathing can also improve physical fitness, but that is not its main function; the main function of Flame Breathing is to strengthen Fire Release.
At the beginner level of Flame Breathing, one can use Total Concentration Breathing to instantly increase the speed of fire-natured chakra transformation, boosting the power of flames.
Once proficient in Flame Breathing, one can enter the Constant state, making the effects of accelerated nature transformation and flame power enhancement permanent, while also granting greater explosive strength.
The Marked pattern at the mastery level is terrifyingly powerful, allowing all chakra to be instantly converted into flames without obstruction, enabling all Fire Release techniques to be performed without hand signs and greatly increasing flame power.
After being system-modded, Flame Breathing has little connection to the original Demon Slayer version; no sword is needed, and it can be considered a Fire Release Chakra Mode.
In Naruto, there are many types of Chakra Modes. Common and practical ones include Sage Mode, the Tailed Beast Chakra Mode achievable by jinchuriki, and the Cloud Hidden's Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
Muyue even thinks Susanoo can be considered a Chakra Mode, one exclusive to Mangekyo users.
Some Chakra Modes can be stacked. Muyue dares not imagine how powerful Fire Release would be if Sage Mode and the Flame Breathing Marked pattern were used together.
Although the reward wasn't the envisioned Moonwalk, Muyue is very satisfied.
"Not bad, still acceptable." Minato said after thinking for a moment.
"There's a problem, Muyue is worried about doing it." Kushina replied.
After studying the caster art for a while, I also understand what a caster of Seventh Form Shinai's level represents — an extremely low-difficulty caster, a low-level caster that even a genin good at caster arts can definitely master.
During dinner in the evening, Muyue told Jiǔ Làizhèng that he hadn't successfully practiced the Eight Fingers yet.
"When cooking is done to perfection, does it really shine?" Minato seriously pondered that question.
I remember when Kushina gave Muyue the Eight-Finger Shinai. Counting the days, I found Muyue's training speed was a few days slower than Jiǔ Làizhèng had predicted.
Because the trigger condition for the Tongue-Cutting Seal is revealing secrets about Danzo and Root; as long as I talk about those, the seal will always activate.
"It all sounds very difficult. You'll need to ask them questions often." Muyue said with a smile as he put the scroll away.
"Feel free to ask. For him it might be complicated, but those things are still unfamiliar to you." Kushina said very confidently.
Muyue took a look at this Contract Shinai and felt it wasn't very interesting. The Contract Shinai can sever the contractual relationship between a sealer and a summon beast, causing the sealer to lose control over the Summoning Jutsu and be unable to summon the beast again.
"This scroll on caster arts records a total of eight caster arts. Besides the Seventh Finger Shinai and the low-level caster art corresponding to it, there's also a Contract Shinai. That's enough for him to practice for a year." Kushina said.
"But finishing earlier than I predicted shows that Muyue's talent in the Làizhèng East art is really good." Kushina praised.
"Food shining — I only suspect something strange was added to it." Kushina complained.
Since it can sever contractual relationships, if improved, couldn't it also sever other relationships?
"Can you eat spicy food?" Muyue asked after thinking.
Muyue has always suspected that the Tongue-Cutting Seal might have an active trigger function; given Danzo's caution, that's very possible.
"Just in time, I've also finished writing my insights on practicing caster arts. After dinner, I'll give you those insights along with the caster arts you need to practice next."
They thought that a dish could only be so spicy; at worst, they just wouldn't eat the peppers in it.
After Jiǔ Làizhèng and Minato left, Muyue took the Làizhèng East scroll to the second floor to study.
"First learn the Seventh Finger Shinai, then the Seventh Form Làizhèng and Contract Shinai, aim to finish in a month." Muyue thought to himself.
"I've also written some insights from my own training in caster arts. They might not be as professional as Kushina's, but they should still be helpful to you." Minato said.
Although she felt she hadn't worked very hard, since Muyue brought it up, she might as well mention it so as not to waste this good opportunity.
The rules for the practical test are basically the same as the ninja academy practical exam rules: opponents are determined by random draw.
Currently, Shisui and Obito's primary offensive ninjutsu are both Fire Release, so they are both very suited for Flame Breathing.
He still has two ninjutsu proficiency scrolls, which can directly raise a beginner-level jutsu to proficiency. He plans to use them on the Seventh Form Shinai and Contract Shinai.
"Seventy-one days and a month are pretty much the same, right? I can't predict the future; I can't be 100% accurate." Jiǔ Làizhèng waved his hand and said.
I remembered that the egg fried rice Muyue made before seemed to faintly glow.
On Monday morning, Muyue started the practical test.
The localized Flame Breathing effect is very strong; it can both enhance the user's own strength and is suitable for his disciples to practice.
"Thank you, Kushina-sensei and Minato-sensei." Muyue expressed his gratitude.
At this time, the students in the summer training program, after learning for two weeks, each had not improved at all.
"Then I'll make less of the bad good food for you and Minato to try." Kushina sealed with a slight smile.
Muyue thought to himself that Kushina was indeed generous enough, and also suspicious enough of my talent, even giving me the low-level caster of Seven Elements Raisei directly.
"That's the problem. Tomorrow night, I'll make a dish so good it glows for them." Muyue said with a smile.
……
Opening the caster scroll, Muyue discovered that the low-level ninjutsu corresponding to Seven Fingers Shinai was actually Seven Elements Shinai.
Although his caster skills were entirely taught by Kushina, everyone has different ideas when learning. Minato felt that his own insights could also be of some help to Muyue.
"You've already succeeded in training. A month passed quite slowly." Ku Raisei took a bite of the food and said emotionally.
After dinner, Kushina and Minato returned home, took the training insights, and again entered the house where Muyue lived.
The two handed the scroll to Muyue. Muyue took the scroll and thanked them again.
By then, with both casters reaching proficiency, they could give me even more caster knowledge in return.
Muyue felt that the reason Seven Fingers Shinai existed might be to lower the difficulty of learning Seven Elements Shinai.
"Not a month, but seventy-one days." Minato corrected.
If we could sever the connection between the Tongue Calamity Severance and Danzo's sealing technique, then the threat of Tongue Calamity Severance to me would be greatly reduced.
Later, when teaching Kushina and Minato how to cook, I made an Explosive Magic Mapo Tofu. If I remembered correctly, it's from the big boss's recipe, so the taste shouldn't be bad.
