Chapter:33 Shinobu
Snake Hashira is a guy with heterochromatic eyes, always covering his face with a bandage, and speaking with a very venomous tongue.
But Sasuke knew very well that this man was a model of someone who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Despite his venomous mouth, he actually cared deeply about his companions.
This is related to his past tragic experiences, but to be honest, there are not many members of the Demon Slayer Corps who have not been miserable in the past. If Sasuke remembers correctly, Obanai's childhood was pretty good, and her parents were very good to her.
In short, Iguro Obanai is such an awkward person, but this has little to do with Sasuke. He came to him just to learn breathing techniques, and he didn't care about other things.
As for the fact that Iguro obanai will not easily trust outsiders, with the Demon Slayer Lord as his guarantor, it can be ignored.
When Sasuke found Obanai, he was lying on a tree branch reading a book.
After he explained his purpose, Obanai did not react immediately, but stared straight into his eyes for a long time.
After a long time, Sasuke became impatient with waiting, and then Obanai jumped down from the tree.
"Since the Lord agrees, I have no objection, but I will only perform it once. After reading it, you leave immediately and don't disturb my rest."
Obanai said, his mouth not as poisonous as Sasuke imagined.
Then Obanai casually pulled down a branch and demonstrated the snake's breath and matching sword shape to Sasuke in the yard.
Sasuke stared at the opponent's movements, using his Sharingan to the extreme, engraving every breath and movement of the opponent deeply into his brain.
Snake's Breathing, to put it bluntly, is the embodiment of top skills.
No matter what kind of weapon is used, the path of the knife can be curved like a snake. Because of the precise swing of the sword, the sword skill of Snake Breathing can be freely changed, and it can easily pass through narrow gaps and perform a "snaking" blow.
This breathing method is a branch of water breathing, which inherits and amplifies the "impermanent" side of water.
This is somewhat different from the fighting method Sasuke has always used, so it is somewhat difficult for him to learn snake breathing.
Fortunately, Water Breathing is already known for being easy to learn. Snake Breathing made it a little more difficult, but overall it was still within an acceptable range. After watching a demonstration, he didn't say much nonsense and thanked Obanai sincerely.Sasuke turned around and left.
Obanai stared at his back, and after a long time, he jumped up to the tree and continued reading.
Three days later, Sasuke came to Shinobu's House.
"I have already heard it from my lord, but little Sasuke, it is very difficult to learn multiple breathing techniques, and it may cause harm to your body. I don't recommend you do this."
Shinobu has a gentle voice and is quite beautiful in appearance.
The Insect Breath she uses is derived from the Flower Breath, focusing on agility and lightness.
This is also related to the characteristics of shinobu. She does not have eight times the muscle density of ordinary people like Rengoku. She is seriously lacking in strength. Her direct combat power is at the bottom among Nine Pillars. Under normal circumstances, she can't even chop off the neck of a ghost.Therefore, poison can only be used to kill ghosts. The Nichirin sword also looks like a super-large needle, and the sword shape is mainly for rapid thrusts.
This fits Sasuke quite well. He himself is also good at high-speed fighting, but his strength is much stronger than that of the shinobu.
Although the Shinobu was full of warnings, she did not hide it when teaching. Not only did she teach breathing techniques and sword shapes, but she also gave Sasuke a copy of several toxin formulas she had researched.
"As long as you can kill demons, you can come to me if you need anything."
She is a beautiful person with a kind heart, so Sasuke gave shinobu a thumbs up.
Two days later, Sasuke came to Shinobu's again, this time looking for Kanao. What kanao mastered was the breathing of flowers. This breathing method was born out of the breathing of water and amplified the "soft" side of the breathing of water.
Many of the moves are similar to Water Breathing, mainly using soft circles, and are also known for scattering petals and disrupting the enemy's sight. In short, there are many feints, which dazzles the enemy and makes it difficult to defend against. Its ultimate move is called Scarlet Spider Lily Eyes of the Other Side, which increases dynamic vision to the limit by applying pressure to the eyeballs, making the movement of objects in the field of vision appear sluggish.
Isn't this a weakened version of the Sharingan's insight ability?
Kanao's appearance is cuter than that of a shinobu. This girl is particularly bad at asserting herself and thinking, and will panic when asked about her thoughts.
Therefore, the best way to treat her is not to discuss with her, but to "give orders" directly. As long as there is an order, she can execute it well.
The day after he finished learning Flower Breathing, Sasuke immediately went to the Rock Hashira .
He was learning happily here, but little did he know that on the other side, he was already a famous figure in the Demon Slayer Headquarters.
Now everyone knows that there is a madman in the headquarters, and they have searched several pillars in just a few days.
In the name of learning breathing techniques, I would ask the other person to demonstrate the breathing techniques once I went there, then disappear for a few days, and when I reappeared, I would look for another pillar.
It all looks like nonsense.
But it happened that the lord acquiesced to his behavior, and several parties involved did not express their opinions. Only the people below were talking about it.
There are all kinds of things to say about him, but there are not many good things to say about him.
Sasuke didn't know this, and he wouldn't care if he did.
He stayed at the Demon Slayer. Headquarters for twenty days. After learning the Breath of the Rock, Obanai and Shinobu left at the same time, replaced by Tomioka Giyuu, the Water Hashira, and Miya Kawakawa, the Wind Hashira.
The first person Sasuke approached was Giyu. This person was extremely cold. He was particularly bad at expressing himself with words. His interpersonal relationships were poorly managed and he was disliked by other Hashira without even realizing it. This man looked proud on the outside, but he was actually a very gentle person. He agreed to Sasuke's request for advice "coldly" without even thinking about it.
Breathing of Water is one of the five derived schools, and has the same status as Breathing of Thunder.
If the characteristic of Thunder Breathing is explosive power, then the characteristic of Water Breathing is balance.
It is both offensive and defensive. It is not top- notch in all aspects, but it is not bad either. It is the lowest difficulty to learn among the breathing methods and has the largest number of masters.
Sasuke learned the water breath very smoothly. After all, he had already learned the snake breath, flower breath and insect breath before. With the foundation, it would be easier to learn the water breathing again.
Then he hit a minor problem with Breath of Wind. It's not a problem with the breathing method,but a problem with the wind Hashira.
Although sanemi respects his leader very much, he does not agree with his decision this time.
He felt that Sasuke was making a joke about breathing techniques and killing demons. He had extremely strong hostility towards demons, so he didn't like Sasuke at all.
"You can learn it if you want. Show your true skills and beat me, and I will teach you!"
Sanemi said to Sasuke viciously.
