On the training ground, Aoba, who held a long sword in his hand, closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and quietly stood where he was.
When a breeze gently brushed past his face, his eyes suddenly opened!
At the same time, his body instantly turned from quiet to silent and disappeared from where he was, accompanied by the thunderbolt and thunder!
"Thunder Breathing Technique - Type One - Thunderbolt Flash!"
Aoba, who had suddenly appeared behind the wooden stake, slowly sheathed his sword as if he had never pulled it out.
However, when the lightning on his body disappeared, the wooden stake behind him was smoothly split into two, and his upper body slowly fell to the ground!
It had to be said that [Thunder Breathing]was really too compatible with him.
He only used the time he was on his way back, plus the two days of vacation after returning to Konoha, and successfully practiced it to the beginner level, allowing [Thunder Breathing]to upgrade to level 1.
Then, without hesitation, he chose to add three of the two beginner skill cards he got from "Seducing Konan" and the four intermediate skill cards he got from the hot spring mission to this ability!
In one breath, he raised it to the level of LV6!
Not only did he successfully learn the first six moves of the sword technique that[Thunder Breathing], but he also successfully mastered the special state of breathing in the whole episode, which saved him a lot of complicated and troublesome cultivation process.
Although Aoba was also confident that he could cultivate it to this extent through hard work, it would take too much time, at least a few years later.
He did not have so much time for him to cultivate steadily because he was already a ninja now. Like the last crisis, there would only be more in the future, no less!
Moreover, [Hardening], which was about to reach level 8, and [Busoshoku Haki], which had been steadily improving, had already made his defense strong enough.
On the other hand, the benefits that [Thunder Breathing] brings are what he needs the most at this stage!
Not only could it make up for his weakness in attack power and speed, but it could also strengthen his body again, greatly improving his physical fitness and physical strength. This was extremely important for him.
Especially when he maintained the special state of breathing, the effect was even more remarkable!
Even when the special state of breathing increased his attack power, it also had a remarkable effect of slowing down his injury and strengthening his self-healing ability.
Combined with [Poor Quality Self Healing Body]'s recovery ability, it was not as simple as 1 +1 = 2!
If he was still a Flesh Escape ninja before, then now that [Thunder Breathing] had upgraded to Level 6, he no longer needed to play 'self-destruct'!
The current Aoba was not weak against the ordinary Jonin!
As long as you can't kill me in one move, I can kill you with a few slashes!
Moreover, he was still trying to integrate his lightning attribute chakra into his blade technique completely. As long as he could complete it, his power would increase by two more levels!
After all, in Aoba's view, Seven Heavenly Breaths was actually the body technique that's similar to the breathing technique.
The principle of Seven Heavenly Breaths was to absorb a large amount of oxygen to make the whole body active, and the lung capacity of the guy who created this move was about four times that of usual!
Did it sound similar to the principle of[Thunder Breathing]?
Moreover, compared to the seven days of breathing method,[Thunder Breathing] also had an attribute change, as well as a set of sword skills.
As long as he could perfectly merge it with chakra, Aoba believed that its potential and power would not be inferior to that Seven Heavenly Breaths Jutsu!
[Ninjutsu: Breath of Thunder], have you heard of it?
One strike to scare you to death!
After finishing today's cultivation, Aoba smiled with satisfaction.
This time, when he was out on a mission and encountered that kind of danger again, he had the confidence to kill his way out!
It was time to visit Naruto again.
Yes, after returning, he had not gone to see Naruto.
Because he and Sarutobi had a deep 'discussion' and finally reached a consensus.
For the sake of Yondaime, who sacrificed himself to protect the village, Sarutobi agreed to his 'exploration rights', allowing him to visit Naruto occasionally and, to a certain extent, to help Naruto improve his life.
However, the premise was that he was not allowed to reveal any information about Naruto!
He could not tell anyone, and of course, it included Naruto!
Moreover, the number of times of contact could not be more than three times a month, and it was not allowed during the mission!
Otherwise, he would continue to do missions outside, and there was no need to return to the village.
Aoba agreed because he could not refuse.
He did not have the right to bargain!
If he did not know the story that Yondaime had saved him at the last moment of his life, adding a protective talisman to his life, did he really think that no one dared to touch him?
In addition, Sarutobi's personality was completely different from Danzo's. Otherwise, he was sure that Sarutobi wouldn't let him meet Naruto.
Of course, his title of genius also played a certain role.
For example, during the time when he was 'missing', if it were for an ordinary ninja, would Sarutobi send people to find him?
It was simply impossible!
Even Sarutobi didn't execute Danzo, who had committed such a huge crime as the assassination of the Hokage, nor did he do anything to him.
However, now that, Minato personally begged to spare Aoba's life and wanted Naruto to live a better life. Of course, Sarutobi couldn't let Danzo kill him.
Aoba didn't have Sharingan...
Therefore, after experiencing the 'coming back from the dead' incident, Sarutobi was finally willing to obey Minato's 'last wish' and turn a blind eye to Naruto.
As long as things were under control, he would not have the intention to kill.
Sarutobi even hinted at Aoba to be careful.
Aoba immediately understood!
After all, even if Sarutobi could tolerate his 'nonsense' to a certain extent, the others might not!
If one day, the Root people openly surrounded and killed him in Konoha, Aoba would not find it strange.
Because Danzo had always been ruthless in dealing with the 'instability factor', and he would rather kill the wrong person than let it go!
This was also why he chose to increase his strength first before preparing to meet Naruto!
