Ninja School Teacher, I Can Become Stronger by Teaching

“Mokutsuki told Shisui and Obito, ‘You two will be learning Flame Breathing, while Guy, you will learn Rock Breathing.'”

Because Mokutsuki had previously warned them that this lesson would be harsh and require serious attention, even the usually hyperactive Obito remained silent, listening attentively to Mokutsuki’s lecture.

Since rock breathing was the hardest to learn, Mokutsuki had a shadow clone to explain the theoretical knowledge of breathing techniques to Shisui and Obito. At the same time, he began teaching Might Guy Rock Breathing.

“The key point of the breathing technique lies in the breathing itself. The technique involves concentrated breathing, inhaling large amounts of oxygen into the body and into every cell, thereby enhancing strength and speed,” Mokutsuki explained the principles of the breathing technique.

“If you can learn Rock Breathing and enter the Total Concentration Breathing state, not only will your strength increase, but your body’s healing speed will also improve, and your mental activity will become more vigorous.

Once you can maintain Total Concentration Breathing 24/7, your physical strengthening speed will be several times faster than it is now. If you then master Rock Breathing, you will be on the path to becoming the strongest taijutsu ninja!” Mokutsuki painted a bright future for Might Guy if he mastered Rock Breathing.

“What a powerful technique!” Might Guy exclaimed, eyes wide with surprise.

The thought of doubling his physical training effectiveness was mind-blowing. What he could achieve in three years now might only take one or one and a half years with Total Concentration Breathing.

For Might Guy, who was determined to excel in taijutsu, this was incredibly appealing.

“Guy, step back a bit,” Mokutsuki said, preparing to demonstrate the true power of Rock Breathing.

“Rock Breathing, Total Concentration Breathing, Finger Pistol!”

Mokutsuki inhaled a large amount of oxygen, activating the power of every cell in his body. He then concentrated the oxygen into his index finger, combined it with chakra, and pointed toward the river 80 meters away.

Whoosh!!
A powerful finger force created a massive gust of wind, and a transparent shockwave flew rapidly toward the river.

The next moment, a massive explosion sounded.

Boom!!!
The river roared with a tremendous noise, and the explosion raised waves over ten meters high, even tossing some fish onto the shore.

Given that the trees around were over twenty meters tall, Mokutsuki dared not use too much force; if the trees were shorter, he would have been more cautious.

“This is the power that Rock Breathing in the Total Concentration Breathing state can unleash,” Mokutsuki said, lowering his hand.

“The destructive power is incredible!” Might Guy was shocked.

Considering they were over 80 meters away from the river, the fact that such power could reach that far was astonishing. Anyone hit by that finger strike wouldn’t stand a chance.

“You will become even stronger than this in the future,” Mokutsuki said, smiling as he patted Might Guy’s head.

“Yes, I will train hard!” Might Guy was now incredibly excited, his mind filled with thoughts of the breathing technique and Mokutsuki’s demonstration.

“Let’s start training then. Stand up straight,” Mokutsuki began the formal instruction.

Might Guy immediately stood at attention, chest out and head high, as soon as he heard Mokutsuki’s words.

“Relax your upper body and inhale while keeping your lower body steady.” Mokutsuki started by explaining the basics of the breathing technique.

Might Guy followed Mokutsuki’s instructions, but Mokutsuki shook his head and said, “Breathe using your abdomen, not by opening your mouth wide.”

Mokutsuki demonstrated several times, then let Might Guy try again.

“Teacher, I tried to inhale deeply, but I didn’t feel what you described,” Might Guy said, scratching his head.

“Don’t rush; take your time. Consistent training will help you get it,” Mokutsuki said with a gentle smile.

Given the great difficulty of Rock Breathing, Mokutsuki considered it successful if Might Guy could learn it within a year.

Might Guy nodded and continued training according to Mokutsuki’s method.

Leaving a shadow clone with Might Guy, Mokutsuki went to Obito and Shisui.

“Mokutsuki-sensei, was that the technique Guy is learning? It seemed so powerful!” Obito asked excitedly as soon as Mokutsuki arrived.

They weren’t far away, and Mokutsuki’s demonstration had indeed been quite noticeable, so they had seen it too.

“Yes, that was a taijutsu technique I used in the Total Concentration Breathing state of Rock Breathing,” Mokutsuki nodded.

“If Guy masters Rock Breathing, it’ll be incredible!” Obito exclaimed, amazed at the power of a single taijutsu technique.

“Don’t worry, the Flame Breathing you two will be learning is no less powerful than Rock Breathing. It will also greatly enhance your abilities,” Mokutsuki said with a smile.

Both breathing techniques were top-tier forbidden techniques, but their effectiveness depended on the user’s skill level.

“Mokutsuki-sensei, could you show us the power of Flame Breathing?” Obito asked eagerly, looking expectantly at Mokutsuki.

Even Shisui showed a curious expression.

Mokutsuki, of course, wouldn’t refuse such a small request from his students. He adjusted his breathing rhythm, switching from Rock Breathing to Flame Breathing, and walked towards the river.

“When you master Flame Breathing and enter the Total Concentration Breathing state, it will speed up the nature transformation of fire chakra, enhancing the power of your flames.

Suppose you can maintain Total Concentration Breathing all day. In that case, the speed of nature transformation and the enhancement of flame power will become constant, with even stronger explosive power,” Mokutsuki explained as he prepared to perform the jutsu.

“Speeding up nature transformation and enhancing flames!” Shisui was shocked by Mokutsuki’s words.

With his strong theoretical knowledge, Shisui understood Mokutsuki’s words—they were a straightforward and powerful enhancement of fire jutsu.

“It also enhances physical strength and recovery abilities to a certain extent,” Mokutsuki continued. These were standard abilities of all breathing techniques.

When he reached the riverbank, Mokutsuki made hand signs and performed the jutsu.

“Fire Release: Dragon Flame Bullet!” Mokutsuki spat out a large flame that split into three directions, covering the river’s surface. In an instant, a 20-meter-wide sea of fire enveloped the river.

The massive flames entered the water, producing steam, and a large amount of white mist covered the surroundings. Mokutsuki used a Wind Release jutsu to disperse the steam.

In fact, Mokutsuki had even stronger jutsu. His proficiency-level head carving and Great Fire Annihilation were more potent than the Dragon Flame Bullet.

But those jutsu had too wide a range, and Mokutsuki feared they might set the nearby forest on fire.

“So powerful, I want to learn it!” Obito said honestly.

“Is Flame Breathing an S-rank forbidden technique?” Shisui was astonished.

Mokutsuki’s strength seemed increasingly mysterious to Shisui. Whenever he thought he had figured out Mokutsuki’s power, Mokutsuki would show him something new and surprising.
