Chapter 206: Beginning Constant Training
Chapter 206: Beginning Constant Training
"With every new level, the Breathing Technique undergoes a qualitative change. The next realm of mastering the All-Concentrated Breathing is to never stop, maintaining your body in a constant state of All-Concentrated Breathing every minute of every day."
Mu Yue began guiding Obito and Itachi through the constant training of the Breathing Technique.
In the world of Demon Slayer, mastering the constant state is the foundation for becoming a Pillar; it is a crucial training that greatly enhances physical abilities.
The same is true for the Breathing Technique in the world of Naruto. If one can master the constant state, the ability to accelerate their Nature Transformation will always be active, meaning their Nature Transformation will be stronger than usual, greatly enhancing their physical capabilities.
The constant state of the Rock Breathing Technique played a significant role in Mu Yue's growing physical strength.
"Huh? How is it possible to maintain All-Concentrated Breathing all day? I'd be exhausted and couldn't do it even if I tried," Obito said, thinking about his own state when using the All-Concentrated Breathing Technique. It seemed unimaginable.
Itachi, too, looked at Mu Yue with a puzzled expression, wondering how one could train to maintain the All-Concentrated Breathing Technique, a burst technique, for twenty-four hours.
"It's not as difficult as you think," Mu Yue smiled and reassured them. "With your compatibility with the Flame Breathing, Obito, constant training will be a breeze."
"But I can only maintain All-Concentrated Breathing for four minutes right now," Obito said, feeling that Mu Yue's suggestion of "more practice" might mean many more years of training.
"Constant training in the Breathing Technique doesn't require you to be in a state of extreme breathing at all times," Mu Yue explained. "If your limit is enhancing your strength by a hundred, then for constant training, you only need to achieve seventy or eighty percent of that."
"I understand now," Obito said, beginning to grasp the concept. "But won't that still deplete our chakra?" he asked, his curiosity piqued as he knew that in the Naruto world, the Breathing Technique was most effective when combined with chakra.
"When you're not in battle, you can choose not to use chakra or only maintain a minimal output," Mu Yue answered. "There will be specialized training for that."
Of course, it was preferable to use chakra to enhance the effects, especially during battles, where adjustments weren't necessary. However, for now, with their limited chakra reserves, a stripped-down version of the training would have to suffice.
With Mu Yue's explanation, Itachi understood the significance of constant training—it was meant to raise their upper limit in the Breathing Technique.
If they could maintain a breathing technique that output eighty percent of their strength throughout the day, their true breathing limit would surely increase, possibly even multiplying several times over.
"First, enter the All-Concentrated Breathing state without using any chakra," Mu Yue instructed, and after her explanation, she began leading her students through the formal constant training.
Obito and Itachi followed her instructions and entered the All-Concentrated Breathing state.
Slap!
Obito's head was met with a light slap, and Mu Yue retracted her hand, saying, "Don't use chakra."
Through her Byakugan, Mu Yue could clearly see that Obito was consuming chakra to use the breathing technique.
"Hehe, it's a habit. I did it subconsciously," Obito scratched his head sheepishly, realizing his mistake at the very first step.
Usually, when one used All-Concentrated Breathing, it was to defeat an enemy in one breath, so naturally, they would go all out.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud noise startled Obito and Itachi, and they turned to see Mu Yue's shadow clone carrying several stones of various sizes. Some were about the same height as Obito, while the larger ones exceeded three meters in height.
"Alright, let's begin the training," Mu Yue said. "Lift these stones and perform deep squats until you can no longer maintain the All-Concentrated Breathing state.
Kakashi, with a calm expression, walked up and tested a few of the stones before picking one of similar height to Obito and began performing deep squats.
The stone looked heavy, but with the All-Concentrated Breathing state, even without infusing chakra, there was a noticeable boost to physical capabilities.
Watching Kakashi start his training, Obito quickly followed suit, choosing a slightly larger stone than the one Kakashi had picked, and began his exercise.
It wasn't that he was being competitive and wanted to choose a bigger one than Kakashi, but the stone Kakashi had taken was the smallest one there.
However, when he lifted the stone to begin his squats, it didn't feel as heavy as he had imagined.
Of course, this was just the beginning. As time passed, after five minutes, Obito started to feel strained and struggled to maintain the All-Concentrated Breathing.
Maintaining the All-Concentrated Breathing was taxing, both physically and mentally, requiring intense focus.
Eventually, Obito put down the stone after five and a half minutes, while Kakashi lasted half a minute longer, stopping at the five-minute mark.
"You maintained the All-Concentrated Breathing for five and a half minutes. You see, you can endure more than you think," Mu Yue smiled and praised.
Obito's fatigue instantly vanished, and he grinned. Mu Yue always gave timely feedback.
"Kakashi, you did well too. You're younger, so it's a bit more challenging for you," Mu Yue said soothingly, patting Kakashi's head.
A faint smile appeared on Kakashi's face.
Mu Yue didn't give them any rest. After three minutes, she instructed them to enter the breathing technique state again and bring out all the power they could muster.
"Next up is running. Keep running until you can no longer maintain the breathing technique," Mu Yue said.
The constant training was about getting the body accustomed to the breathing technique, so that they could maintain the All-Concentrated Breathing state all day, even while sleeping.
Hence, the intensity of this training was exceptionally high, far beyond the introductory level of practice.
It was only because Mu Yue had training elixirs that she didn't slow down the pace; otherwise, this intensity would surpass even Might Guy's training.
By the end of the training session, Obito's legs felt soft, his head was dizzy, and he struggled to tell his left from right. He felt like his body no longer belonged to him, and his soul could float away at any moment.
"I'm so tired," Obito sighed sincerely.
He felt that his previous training sessions were nothing compared to today's. He had lost count of how many times he had used the All-Concentrated Breathing, and towards the end, he couldn't even distinguish between normal breathing and the technique.
The basic exercises of running, deep squats with weights, and push-ups with weights, coupled with the condition of maintaining the All-Concentrated Breathing, instantly became incredibly exhausting.
Even Kakashi couldn't maintain his composure, his face clearly showing his fatigue.
Mu Yue smiled faintly but said nothing. This was just the beginning; these were all elementary exercises. There would be more intense and advanced training to come.
