The huge white moon hangs high in the sky, and from time to time there are clouds and mists that are either as misty as yarn or as thick as cotton, floating by, rendering the entire valley sometimes dim and dark, sometimes transparent and bright.
Also appearing and disappearing was a figure practicing swordsmanship with a wooden sword in the open space in front of the waterfall.
As the cloud shadows drifted by, Yiyong's figure completely disappeared in the darkness, but reappeared in the moonlight the next moment. It was difficult to distinguish between reality and reality.

"Breath of the Moon·Fourteen Types..."
Yiyong adjusted his breathing and held the knife in front of his body in a mid-section posture. There was an extremely calm and profound look in his eyes.
Every move of Moon Breath was custom-made by Hei Shimo after he became a ghost. It needs to be used in conjunction with his six eyes to use it perfectly. Therefore, when Yiyong is practicing Yue Breath's sword skills,
, you must enter a state of high concentration and transparency at all times.
However, with just a simple preparation, Yiyong had already created an ominous atmosphere in the secluded valley. The worrying darkness seemed to be stronger than usual.
None of the nearby ninja crows wanted to get close to him. They only dared to watch from a distance. Even though their bodies were covered with feathers, they were constantly shaking their bodies.
Shisui himself, who had just returned from outside, stood on the top of the pine tree without saying a word, quietly staring at Giyuu's movements.
Finally, the preparations were completed, and the volunteers took action!
"Ferocious change·The sky is full of slender moon!"
A sound like thousands of venomous snakes spitting out their tongues and hissing sounded at the same time, making Shisui's body covered with goosebumps.
He could see clearly that at this moment, there were hundreds of volunteers moving in all directions towards him, twisting their bodies and waving wooden swords at the same time, drawing different knife paths one after another. It was as if he was fighting with everyone at the same time.
Hundreds of enemies in close combat!
【Is it an illusion? 】
Shisui opened his Sharingan in confusion and looked down carefully.
Only then did he realize that the hundreds of volunteers were not clones or phantoms formed by some ninjutsu, but the afterimages of the volunteers who moved too fast!
In less than two seconds, he actually completed nearly a hundred slashes in different directions!
Just relying on the wind created when the wooden knife was swung quickly, a pine branch more than ten meters away was broken into pieces.
However, this is just an immature taijutsu version of Giyuu.
According to the requirements, one hundred slashes should 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 a powerful sword is also obvious.
After the blow, the muscles in Yiyong's body that had been violently active were eager to rest, and sweat rarely flowed from his forehead.
He leaned on the wooden knife to support his body, and slowly adjusted his heartbeat according to the breathing method. He thought about the shortcomings in the previous movements and the areas that could be improved in the next practice.
"This is completely different from the swordsmanship you used before, Yiyong."
When Shisui saw Giyu stop, he jumped from the top of the tree and appeared next to Giyu. His sincere admiration was all written in his bright eyes, but there was also some doubt in his tone.
"The swordsmanship you practiced before mostly only had one movement per move, and the range of body movements was very large, as if you had to use all your strength to fight against some more powerful monster. But the one you just practiced
The move is very different from usual. It looks complicated and advanced, but also as meticulous and simple as a chef chopping melons and vegetables. It is a swordsmanship used to eliminate enemies who are weaker than you."
[This swordsmanship seems to be very suitable for Uchiha, but it doesn't match the temperament of Giyuu. I always feel a bit murderous...]
These were the words that Shisui kept in his heart but did not say out loud.
After hearing Shisui's evaluation, Yiyong nodded in agreement: "You read that right, it's different."
Hei Shimo is a ghost. His Yueshu swordsmanship is characterized by extremely high frequency, large range, and extremely strong suppression. Most of them are used to clear the field with one enemy. After all, his target enemies are fragile.
It is not wrong to say that human beings can chop melons and vegetables.
On the contrary, the five basic breathing methods derived from Sun Breath are in the same vein as Sun Breath. Usually a kata only has one to several movements, because the target of the swordsman is usually just a single "ghost" and there is no need for those nonsense.
s things.
Since the enemies are different, it is not surprising that the performance of swordsmanship is very different.
"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."
Yiyong 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 listening to this sentence, Zhisui felt that if he continued to ask questions, he would definitely get a bunch of heroic answers that he couldn't understand, so he simply didn't ask about your origin: "I saw that you disappeared into the shadows for a while, and then appeared again.
It's so mysterious under the moonlight that I always wonder if I've been under an illusion. So what's the name of this breathing method? Is it phantom breathing?"
Giyuu used his strength to insert the wooden knife directly into the stone slab at his feet, then took out a stack of about twenty pieces of paper from his pocket and handed it to Shisui.
"What is this?!" Shisui wondered.
"Return the gift." Yiyong turned sideways, and the moonlight caught his solemn face.
Shisui: "What kind of gift in return?"
Giyuu pointed to the wooden house where he usually studies the water escape ninjutsu of the Second Hokage: "You gave me the water escape scroll as a gift in return."
"Ha?!" Zhisui raised his eyebrows, surprised and pleasantly surprised, "I didn't expect that you still remember what happened at that time? Even I can barely remember it."
More than three years ago, when he asked Itachi to teach Giyu the ninjutsu on the water escape scroll, Giyuu had promised him that he would definitely repay him.
It wasn't until today that that promise was finally fulfilled.
"Honestly, when I heard that you wanted to see me, I thought you were just practicing cracking illusions or something like that, so I almost didn't come. I didn't expect such a surprise. I like to receive gifts the most. Let me see.
What a good thing..."
As Zhisui spoke, he unfolded the stack of white papers. The curiosity in his eyes became more and more intense, but there was also some faint worry.
[It can’t be a private recipe. If you show disinterest, you will definitely be recognized by Jiyong. Tsk, that book is really harmful...]
The first few sheets of paper were drawn with some simple figures of human body movements, and underneath there were dense annotations written by Yiyong.
Shisui looked at each one one by one. His previous curiosity gradually subsided and was replaced by excitement and seriousness.
It wasn't until he saw the [Changzhong Cultivation Tips] at the back that he took a deep breath, raised his eyes and asked uncertainly: "Is this a complete set of breathing techniques?"
"Um."
Yiyong responded: "The breath of the moon. If you practice it regularly, it should be able to improve your mastery of the changes in the nature of Yin chakra. You like illusions very much and often use the Sharingan. I think this breathing method should be very suitable for you.
"
Giving the Breath of the Moon to Shisui in return was what he had thought of three years ago.
Shisui's chakara attributes are fire, wind, thunder, and the yin inherent in the Sharingan.
But except for water breathing, other breathing methods are not qualified to be taught to others.
The breath of water is too useless for Shisui who fights with illusions. Only this breath of the moon does not belong to the inheritance of the Demon Slayer Squad, but it is just right for Shisui.
The most important thing is that more than half of the 100,000 points of resolution of Moon Breath were accumulated by Giyuu through the illusion of releasing Shisui. Taking this as a return gift can be regarded as a little reward, otherwise Giyuu will always feel indebted.
"The Breath of the Moon has a total of sixteen sword types. You must open the Sharingan to practice and use it."
Yiyong cautiously asked: "Of course, you can also practice the breathing method directly to the normal state without practicing the sword form. Your mastery of the Yin attribute Chakara is very strong, and the breath of the moon will be very suitable for you, so the progress will not be the same.
It will be too slow. But one thing must be noted: Never use breathing techniques while mobilizing chakra."
The breath of the moon 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, and Shisui cannot learn to understand it. Once the breathing method and chakra extraction are performed at the same time, it might become something weird.
"I remember."
[I guess this child has been practicing swordsmanship for more than three years and specially designed it 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 the gifts I have received over the years, none is more precious than this one because it is unique!
Giyuu has a very rich imagination, which is an idea he and Itachi share.
The righteous hero has not left the village in these years, and there has never been such a swordsmanship in the outside world, let alone in the village.
This breathing method was not figured out by Yiyong himself, where else could it come from?
When a ninja reaches the level of Shisui, there is very little room for further improvement in strength, but the breath of the moon provided by Giyuu may be the stepping stone for him to move to higher places, so it is precious.
Before Yiyong could speak, he smiled and added: "I know, don't teach it to others, right? Don't worry. But between us, we won't say thank you, Yiyong."
Then, the two discussed some details of practicing breathing techniques, and then changed the topic.
"I heard Itachi say that you want to go out and see the village by yourself during this holiday?"
Shisui walked to a rock and sat down, "Are you going to Yu no Kuni, and the Fugaku clan leader also agreed?"
"Yes."
Yiyong nodded.
After burning the lake outside the clan's territory, although he did not receive any praise, he still mentioned his plan to go out to "experience" his father.
Uchiha is a clan that advocates strength, and Fugaku is a tiger father who can bring a four-year-old child to the battlefield. He is not the conservative type of the Hyuga clan, and the strength shown by Giyuu is quite unexpected, so Fugaku is not too
After much hesitation, he agreed, but asked that he not reveal his identity as an Uchiha.
Besides, by letting Giyuu go out for a while, he can concentrate on dealing with Itachi's affairs, and Sasuke can stay away from sources of stress and slowly regain his collapsed self-confidence.
However, when Fugaku asked Giyu where he was going, Giyu only gave him the direction of Lake Mo: "Northeast of the Land of Fire."
The Kingdom of Water is in this direction, so being brave is not a lie.
Fugaku never thought about the possibility that Giyuu would cross the sea. He thought that the child wanted to travel to the country of Yu, so he told everyone in his family so. Shisui also heard this from Itachi.
Shisui looked into 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 happily.
"But what surprised me was that Itachi not only did not feel depressed, but actually thought about it a lot. 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 about 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 wished that Shisui thought he was going to the Kingdom of Yu, so he hummed without surprise, but it made Shisui realize 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: "Just 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.
"That's right. In this world, apart from Tsunade-sama, only Orochimaru, who knows the limits of blood succession the most, 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 body of the blood successor ninja to parasitize, how come he doesn’t understand this disease? 】
When Shisui saw that Yiyu 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 does not mean that he is 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."
Now there is 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 ocean, and there is no place more suitable for me to perform. You have been back for two days, and it doesn't necessarily mean that Orochimaru has left the Kingdom of Water. I can't wait any longer, I 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...
