Chapter 80: Getting Ready to Go (Part 2)

Late at night, Nanhe River Waterfall.

The huge white moon hangs high in the sky, and from time to time, there are clouds that are either as ethereal as gauze or as thick as cotton, which make the whole valley sometimes dark and sometimes transparent.

Also appearing and disappearing from time to time is the figure holding a wooden sword and practicing swordsmanship in the open space in front of the waterfall.

As the shadow of the cloud floats by, Yiyong's figure disappears completely in the darkness, but reappears in the moonlight the next moment, and it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books at present, Yeguo Reading, www.yeguoyuedu.com install the latest version. ]

"Breathing of the Moon·Form 14..."

Yiyong adjusted his breathing and held the sword in front of his body in a middle posture, with extremely calm and deep eyes.

Every move of Moon Breathing was customized by Kokushibo for his upper rank body after he became a demon. It needs to be used perfectly with his six eyes. Therefore, when practicing Moon Breathing swordsmanship, Giyuu must always be in a state of high concentration and clarity.

However, with just a simple preparation, Giyuu has already set off an ominous atmosphere in the secluded valley. The worrying darkness seems to be thicker than usual.

The nearby ninja crows are unwilling to approach him and can only watch from a distance. Although he is covered with feathers, his body is constantly shaking.

Shisui, who just came back from outside, also stood on the top of the pine tree without saying a word, quietly staring at Giyuu's movements.

Finally, the preparations are complete, and Giyuu moves!

"Ferocious Change·Filled Moons All Over the Sky!"

The sound of millions of poisonous snakes sticking out their tongues and hissing sounded at the same time, making Shisui's body covered with goose bumps.

He could see clearly that at this moment, hundreds of Giyuu were swinging wooden swords in all directions, twisting their bodies at the same time, and drawing different sword paths, as if he was fighting hundreds of enemies at the same time!

[Is it an illusion? ]

Shisui opened his Sharingan in confusion and looked carefully below.

He realized that the hundreds of Giyuu were not clones, nor were they phantoms formed by ninjutsu, but afterimages formed by Giyuu's too fast movements!

In less than two seconds, he actually completed nearly a hundred slashes in different directions!

With only the sword wind formed by the rapid swing of the wooden sword, the pine branches more than ten meters away were broken into pieces.

However, this was just Giyuu's immature version of physical skills.

According to the requirements, a hundred slashes were supposed to be completed within one second. And once used with chakra, this type will be the ultimate nightmare that can destroy the battlefield!

Of course, the price of the powerful sword type is also obvious.

After the blow, Giyuu's muscles that had been violently moved all over his body were extremely eager to rest, and sweat rarely flowed on his forehead.

He supported himself with the wooden sword, adjusted his heartbeat slowly with the breathing method, and recalled the omissions in the previous action, as well as the areas that could be improved in the next practice.

"This is completely different from the swordsmanship you used before, Giyuu."

When Shisui saw Giyuu stop, he jumped from the top of the tree and appeared beside Giyuu. His sincere admiration was all written in his bright eyes, but there was also some doubt in his tone.

"The swordsmanship you practiced before, most of them only had one move, and the range of body movement was very large, as if you were using all your strength to fight some more powerful monster. But the move you just practiced was very different from the usual ones. It looked complicated and profound, and it was as delicate and crisp as a chef chopping melons and vegetables. It was a swordsmanship used to clear enemies weaker than you."

[This swordsmanship looks very suitable for Uchiha, but it doesn't match Giyuu's temperament. I always feel that it is a bit murderous...]

This is what Shisui held in his heart and didn't say out loud.

After hearing Shisui's evaluation, Giyuu nodded in agreement: "You are not mistaken, it is different."

Kokushibo is a demon, and his moon-breathing swordsmanship is characterized by extremely high frequency, large range, and strong suppression. Most of them are used to clear the field with one against many. After all, his target enemy is fragile humans, so it is not wrong to say that it is like chopping melons and vegetables.

On the contrary, the five basic breathing methods derived from the sun breathing are passed down from the sun breathing. Usually, there is only one to several actions in one form, because the target of the swordsman is usually just a single "ghost", and there is no need for those fancy things.

Since the enemies are different, there is nothing strange about the great difference in the performance of the swordsmanship.

"Oh? Is this a new breathing method?"

Shisui's eyes narrowed happily.

"Every time you come back, you can give me some surprises. Such exquisite swordsmanship, even if you open the Sharingan, there is no way to imitate it."

Giyu solemnly emphasized: "It's a new breathing method, but it has nothing to do with me."

"Okay, okay, it has nothing to do with you."

After hearing this, Shisui felt that if he continued to ask, he would definitely get a bunch of Giyu-style answers that he couldn't understand, so he simply didn't ask about the origin: "I saw you disappear in the shadows for a while, and then appear in the moonlight again, mysteriously, making me always wonder if I was in an illusion. So what is the name of this breathing method? Illusionary Breathing?"

Giyu's men exerted force and directly inserted the wooden sword into the stone slab under his feet, then took out a stack of about 20 sheets of paper from his pocket and handed it to Shisui.

"What is this?!" Shisui was puzzled.

"Return gift." Giyuu turned sideways, and the moonlight illuminated his solemn face.

Shisui: "What return gift?"

Giyuu pointed to the wooden house where he usually studied the second generation Hokage's water escape ninjutsu: "You gave me a return gift for the water escape scroll."

"Huh?!" Shisui's eyebrows curved, surprised and delighted, "I didn't expect that you still remember what happened at that time? Even I can't remember it."

More than three years ago, when he asked Itachi to teach Giyuu the ninjutsu on the water escape scroll, Giyuu said that he would definitely return the favor.

Until today, that promise was finally fulfilled.

"To be honest, when I heard that you wanted to see me, I thought it was another practice to break illusions or something, and I almost didn't come. I didn't expect there would be such a surprise. I like receiving gifts the most, let me see what good things are..."

As Shisui spoke, he unfolded the stack of white paper, his curiosity in his eyes became more and more vigorous, but there was also some hidden worry.

[It can't be a private recipe. If you show an expression of disinterest, Giyuu will definitely recognize it. Tsk, that book is really harmful...】

The first few pages of the stack of papers were drawn with some simple human body action graphics, and below them were densely marked by Giyuu's handwriting.

Shisui read through them one by one, and his previous curiosity gradually subsided, replaced by excitement and seriousness.

Until he saw the [Changzhong Cultivation Tips] at the back, he took a deep breath, raised his eyes and asked uncertainly: "Is this a complete set of breathing methods?"

"Yes."

Giyuu responded: "Moon Breathing. Practicing to Changzhong should improve your mastery of the changes in the nature of Yin attribute chakra. You like illusions very much and often use Sharingan. I think this breathing method should be very suitable for you."

He wanted to give Moon Breathing to Shisui as a reward three years ago.

Shisui's chakra attributes are fire, wind, thunder, and the Yin that comes with Sharingan.

But except for water breathing, Giyuu is not qualified to teach other breathing methods to others.

And the Water Breathing is too useless for Shisui who fights with illusions. Only the Moon Breathing is not part of the inheritance of the Demon Slayer Corps, but it is just suitable for Shisui.

The most important thing is that most of the 100,000 points of resolution of the Moon Breathing were accumulated by Giyuu by removing Shisui's illusions. This is a reward as a return gift, otherwise Giyuu will always feel indebted.

"There are a total of 16 sword types for the Moon Breathing. You must open the Sharingan to practice and use it."

Giyuu carefully advised: "Of course, you can also practice the breathing method itself directly without practicing the sword type. You have a strong grasp of the Yin attribute Chakra, and the Moon Breathing will be quite compatible with you, and the progress will not be too slow. But one thing must be noted: Never mobilize chakra while using the breathing method."

The Moon Breathing does not absorb natural energy from the moonlight, but from the darkness.

But no matter where it comes from, natural energy is natural energy after all. Shisui cannot learn it thoroughly. Once the breathing method and chakra extraction are carried out at the same time, it may become something strange.

"I remember it."

[I guess this kid has been holding back for more than three years and designed a sword technique specifically for me. No wonder it is completely different from the previous one. ]

Shisui's eyes were wet, and he put the stack of papers into his pocket with emotion.

Among all the gifts I have received over the years, there is nothing more precious than this one, because it is unique!

Giyuu has a rich imagination, which is an idea he and Itachi agree on.

Giyuu has not left the village for these years, and there has never been such a sword technique in the outside world, let alone in the village.

This breathing method is not figured out by Giyuu himself, where else can it come from?

Ninjas who have reached Shisui's level have little room for further improvement in strength, but the moon breathing provided by Giyuu may be the stepping stone for him to move to a higher level, so it is precious.

Before Giyuu could speak, he smiled and added: "I know, don't teach it to others, right? Don't worry. But between us, let's not say thank you, Giyuu."

Then, the two discussed some details of practicing breathing methods, and then changed the topic.

"I heard from Itachi that you want to go out of the village on your own this holiday?"

Shisui walked to a rock and sat down, "Are you going to the Land of Hot Springs, and did the chief of the Fugaku clan agree?"

"Yes, he agreed."

Giyu nodded.

After burning the lake outside the clan dry, although he did not receive any praise, he still mentioned to his father his plan to go out for "experience".

The Uchiha clan is a clan that advocates strength, and Fugaku is a tiger father who can take a four-year-old child to the battlefield. He is not the conservative type of the Hyuga clan. In addition, the strength shown by Giyuu is quite unexpected, so Fugaku agreed without much hesitation, but only asked him not to reveal the identity of the Uchiha clan.

Besides, if Giyuu goes out for a while, he can concentrate on dealing with Itachi's affairs, and Sasuke can also stay away from the source of pressure and slowly regain his collapsed confidence.

However, when Fugaku asked Giyuu where he was going, Giyuu only gave a vague direction of the lake: "Northeast of the Land of Fire."

The Land of Water is in this direction, so Giyuu is not lying.

Fugaku never thought that Giyuu might cross the sea, and thought that the child wanted to travel to the Land of Hot Springs, so he told everyone in the family so, and Shisui also heard this from Itachi.

Shisui looked at Giyuu's eyes suspiciously.

"With your personality, you don't seem to be the kind of person who goes to hot springs. Why did you go to Yuno Country? Is it because of Itachi's illness?"

"Do you know about his illness?" Yiyong raised his eyebrows.

"Although Itachi didn't tell me, Tsunade-sama was worried that he was too young to think clearly, so she specifically asked me to keep an eye on Itachi."

Shisui's eyes flashed with sadness at first, but then he smiled with relief.

"But what surprised me was that instead of being depressed, Itachi thought a lot more. I don't know whether to be happy or sad for him. But Giyuu, if you want to go to Yuno Country to find Tsunade for this matter, Sir, it's too late. It was already half a year ago when we met in Tang Country. Even if you found it, she wouldn't be able to figure it out in such a short period of time. "

Giyuu wanted Shisui to think that he was going to the Kingdom of Yu, so he hummed without surprise, but it made Shisui see that something was wrong.

"Wait a moment……"

He leaned forward, staring into Yiyong's eyes from a distance of less than twenty centimeters, and suddenly realized something in his heart.

"Since Itachi told you about his illness, he will not fail to tell you that Tsunade-sama cannot cure him. Do you want to go to the Kingdom of Water?"

"..." Yiyong raised his brows slightly and said in a strong tone: "You just need to know it yourself. Don't tell others anymore."

"Yoyong!"

Shisui straightened his face, "Today's Water Country is almost the most dangerous place in the ninja world. What are you going to do there?"

"can not tell you."

Giyuu didn't want to say more. If Shisui knew that his target might be Kirigakure Village and the Fourth Mizukage, he wouldn't be able to leave.

"..."

Shisui's tear trough looked a little deeper than before, and violent fluctuations passed through his eyes, as if he thought of something again.

"Yes. In this world, apart from Tsunade-sama, only Orochimaru, who knows the limits of blood succession best, may be able to cure Itachi's disease. You went to the Kingdom of Water to find him, right? According to the Third Generation, Lord It is speculated that that guy may still be entrenched in the Kingdom of Water and intends to steal the body of a certain blood ninja."

【ah? 】

[Why didn’t Itachi even mention this kind of thing? 】

Yiyong did not show doubts on his face, but his heartbeat at this moment was like the impact of a bell, heavy and powerful.

Itachi previously described his illness as if there was no way out, but Giyuu didn't expect to find a clue so quickly.

[Yes, since he is looking for the blood successor ninja's body to be parasitic, how come he doesn't understand this disease? 】

When Shisui saw that Giyuu didn't answer, he took it as acquiescence and his tone became slightly darker.

"Itachi is your brother, and I didn't stop you from saving him. But Orochimaru, like Hokage and Kakashi-senpai, is proficient in thousands of ninjutsu, insidious and cunning, and is the most difficult character to deal with. . This time I easily subdued him. It was because he had some physical problems. It didn't mean he was weak.

"Why don't you wait for me to finish my mission in the Kingdom of Earth before I go with you?"

"It goes without saying, Shisui."

There is now one more reason for volunteering to go to the Kingdom of Water, but it is not the most important one.

"The Kingdom of Water is in the middle of the sea, and there is no place more suitable for me to perform. You have been back for two days, and it is not necessarily that Orochimaru has left the Kingdom of Water. I can't wait any longer and must rush there as soon as possible."

"I see."

Shisui thought of Giyu's mastery of Water Release and felt a little relieved.

"In that case, let me tell you some information that you should know during this trip, such as how to deal with Orochimaru...

"But Yiyong, you must come back safe and sound."
