Naruto: From Kushina Uzumaki onwards, a traitor

Aside from the fact that physical techniques require a certain breathing rhythm, Kakashi had never heard of coordinating breathing with other techniques.

Can the power of Thunder Breathing be unleashed by coordinating with breathing?

real or fake?

Chapter 96 Arrival in the Land of Grass

Kakashi was completely baffled by Chiba's explanation that to unleash the power of Thunder Breathing, one needed to coordinate breathing.

As Chiyu led Kakashi on his journey, she explained to him, "The breathing technique that accompanies the Breathing of Lightning is not ordinary breathing, but a breathing method called 'Total Concentration Breathing'."

Its main function is to enhance cardiopulmonary function, thereby allowing the blood to absorb a large amount of oxygen in a short period of time, which can temporarily and significantly increase physical capabilities.

Thunder Breathing can only unleash its full power when combined with Concentrated Breathing. Without proper breathing techniques, anyone who uses Thunder Breathing can only imitate its form but not its essence, resulting in a significant difference in skill.

Furthermore, mastering focused breathing will significantly improve your concentration and also enhance your eyesight.

Kakashi asked curiously, "Is this breathing technique really that amazing?"

Chiyu nodded and said, "Once you learn it, you will naturally know. When we arrive in the Land of Grass, I will begin to teach you the breathing technique."

Kakashi was still somewhat skeptical about the miraculous nature of the breathing technique, after all, he had never encountered such a magical breathing method before.

If it is true that this breathing technique can temporarily and significantly increase physical abilities in an instant, then it can be applied not only to Thunder Breathing but also to other aspects.

The journey to the Land of Grass is similar to the journey to the Land of Hot Springs, taking about five or six days.

During these few days, Chiba didn't teach Kakashi anything, but instead learned about Kakashi's current strength.

Just like when Orochimaru took him as a disciple, he tested his strength before making a training plan for him.

Over the past few days, Qianyu has gained a systematic understanding of Kakashi.

Kakashi truly deserves his reputation as a genius who became a Chunin at the age of 6.

He is skilled in using the Hatake family's swordsmanship, combined with the Body Flicker Technique to launch surprise attacks on his opponents.

He was very fast, comparable to Minato Namikaze during his time at the Ninja Academy.

His ninjutsu skills are just average.

Kakashi's chakra nature is lightning and earth, and he only knows some basic ninjutsu.

It's likely that Kakashi Hatake was too young, or that Sakumo Hatake wasn't skilled enough, so they didn't teach Kakashi advanced ninjutsu.

Meanwhile, Chiyu began to plan Kakashi's next training.

Now that I've become Kakashi's teacher, I have to take responsibility.

Moreover, it is very likely that Kakashi will be his companion on the same path in the future.

First and foremost is breathing techniques. If Kakashi wants to increase his fighting power, then the only way is to completely master the Breath of Lightning.

Then there's reaction speed and dynamic vision, as well as some advanced lightning and earth techniques.

As for the Sharingan, now that Kakashi has become his disciple, Chiba is unsure whether Kakashi will be able to obtain Obito Uchiha's Sharingan in the future.

Even if she obtained it, Chiba did not intend to have Kakashi transplant it.

In Chiyu's opinion, the drawbacks of Kakashi transplanting the Sharingan were simply too great.

This directly led to the system using Kakashi as the unit for measuring chakra.

Although Kakashi copied thousands of ninjutsu using his Sharingan in the future, was it useful?

It's completely useless.

The Sharingan is more detrimental to Kakashi because it constantly drains his chakra.

Being able to use a few ninjutsu techniques in battle is already quite good.

Using too many of these methods will directly deplete your chakra.

The title of "Konoha's Number One Technician" sounds more like a joke.

Given Kakashi's talent, Chiba felt that Kakashi's potential would definitely be even higher without the Sharingan.

Moreover, he had his guidance.

Qianyu was confident that her strength would grow stronger and stronger in the future. She could teach Kakashi the skills she learned from the system, which would be much better than copying thousands of skills but only being able to be a three-second man.

For Kakashi, who doesn't have Uchiha blood, the Sharingan is his to whomever wants it.

Look at Orochimaru, he needed Sasuke Uchiha's body to obtain the Sharingan.

Is Orochimaru unable to obtain the Sharingan?

Orochimaru could easily obtain the Sharingan, but he didn't choose to transplant it directly because he knew its drawbacks.

Even for Danzo, Orochimaru made him a Wood Release arm and transplanted the Sharingan onto it, transplanting the arm rather than directly transplanting the Sharingan.

After planning Kakashi's next training session, the two arrived in the Land of Grass.

After arriving at the Konoha ninja stronghold in the Land of Grass, Chiba and Kakashi went to visit Sakumo Hatake in his room.

Sakumo Hatake was not surprised to see Chiba, because he had already received news that Chiba, Orochimaru's disciple who was unusually active in the Land of Hot Water, had been transferred to the Land of Grass.

However, Sakumo Hatake was very surprised to see Kakashi.

"Kakashi, why are you back?"

"Father, I have already become Teacher Qianyu's disciple."

Sakumo Hatake looked at Chiba with his mouth slightly open.

He had Kakashi participate in the assignment of three-person teams to act alongside the Jonin leading the team, hoping to make Kakashi and his teammates friends.

Unexpectedly, Kakashi brought him back a master instead.

What a big 'surprise'!

Sakumo Hatake sized up Chiba.

Sakumo Hatake didn't know anything about Chiba; he had only heard about her from other people.

Of course, they were all extremely harsh words.

However, Sakumo Hatake didn't care about these rumors and thought Chiba was quite outstanding.

Despite this environment, he did not give up but instead became more courageous and was taken in as a disciple by Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

In just a few short years, he became a Jonin, which is enough to show that Chiba has extraordinary talent.

Furthermore, the plan formulated by Chiba in the Land of Hot Water was also studied by Hatake Sakumo.

Regarding Chiba's plan, Sakumo Hatake, considering the situation and military strength of the Land of Hot Springs at the time, commented that it was too radical, almost to the point of being reckless, but it was very innovative.

It can be said that Qianyu's plan was tantamount to burning one's boats.

Whether it succeeds or not, the losses will be enormous.

If successful, the benefits will outweigh the losses.

At the same time, Hatake Sakumo also admired Orochimaru for agreeing to the Chiba Plan.

Most importantly, as Orochimaru's disciple, Senba is definitely a member of the Hokage faction.

Therefore, although it was their first meeting, Sakumo Hatake had a pretty good impression of Chiba.

Furthermore, Sakumo Hatake did not object to Kakashi becoming Chiba's disciple.

Because Qianyu is excellent enough and has a good family background, it's just that her reputation isn't very good.

Sakumo Hatake gave Chiyu a smile: "So Chiyu, you're Kakashi's master now. Kakashi will be in your care from now on."

Sakumo Hatake was a man who rarely smiled.

So this smile that suddenly appeared looked rather awkward no matter how you looked at it.

Chiba said earnestly to Hatake Sakumo, "Kakashi is excellent, and I will do my best to teach him, so please rest assured, Sakumo-sama."

Sakumo Hatake nodded: "It is an honor for Kakashi to become your disciple, and I am very relieved."

Chapter 97 Long-term Mission

Chiba met Sakumo Hatake at the Leaf Village base in the Land of Grass.

Sakumo Hatake actually approves of Chiba taking Kakashi as his disciple.

Sakumo Hatake asked, "Chiba, why did you come to the Land of Grass? As far as I know, the situation in the Land of Hot Water has stabilized, while the Land of Grass has always been the same, and there are no fierce battles."

"If you want to fight, there will be more battles with the ninjas of Sunagakure in the Land of Rivers, won't there?"

Chiba replied, "Lord Sakumo, I came to the Land of Grass not to fight, but to find something. So for my next mission, I hope Lord Sakumo can assign me some reconnaissance tasks and give me a certain degree of freedom."

Sakumo Hatake frowned. Had he come to the Land of Grass to find something?

Sakumo Hatake assumed that Chiba had received some secret mission and didn't ask any further questions.

Sakumo Hatake asked again, "So, how much freedom do you need?"

After thinking for a moment, Chiyu said, "I hope that after I scout out the Iwagakure ninjas and determine their numbers, I can attack on my own. This way, I can also teach Kakashi through actual combat."

Sakumo Hatake readily agreed, "If it's just this request, I can agree to it. But I also want to remind you, Chiba, that you absolutely cannot be reckless. If you encounter a team of more than four people, retreat immediately. Don't fight for too long, in case the enemy sends reinforcements."

The ninjas of Iwagakure are very cunning and cautious. They generally do not fight outnumbered, and when they encounter powerful ninjas, they will retreat decisively and then support the Iwagakure ninjas from nearby areas, creating a situation where they outnumber the enemy.

Because of the cunning and cautious nature of the Iwagakure ninja, their stronghold in the Land of Grass is impregnable. The Iwagakure ninja are numerous, so caution is essential.

Chiba replied cautiously, "Lord Sakumo, please rest assured, I will not put myself or Kakashi in danger."

Sakumo Hatake nodded: "Then I'll give you and Kakashi a long-term mission. Iwagakure has many hidden strongholds in the Land of Grass, and these hidden strongholds are very threatening to future battles."

Because as long as these hidden strongholds exist, the Iwa ninja's support will always be one step ahead of ours.

So you and Kakashi investigate the hidden strongholds of Iwa ninja within the Land of Grass, and then report back to me.

"When to set off on the mission is up to you."
