However, Mokgetsu believed this was an unreplicable miracle, because at that time, neither in physical pain nor in spirit could Might Guy lose to Kakashi, but Might Guy did not comprehend the Transparent World.
This Breathing Technique's ability to awaken at the perfect level is truly rare.
"Alright, first train your body to the extreme, then fight with my Shadow Clone, fighting with the determination to kill the Shadow Clone." Mokgetsu thought for a moment and said.
Since Kakashi's Transparent World was stimulated in an extreme state, let's try some extreme battles.
Mokgetsu created a Shadow Clone to watch Kakashi while his main body went to Obito's side.
"Are you thinking of defeating those Hidden Mist users of Water Release in the Chunin Examination?" Mokgetsu asked directly.
If nothing unexpected happens, based on the battle order, Obito will encounter Terumi Mei in the second round of battles.
"Mm-hmm." Obito nodded quickly, looking at Mokgetsu with expectant eyes.
The battle in the Forest of Death left him numb, as those Hidden Mist individuals all knew Water Release, making it extremely uncomfortable for him.
Kurozawa and Zabuza's level was still acceptable; although water restrained fire in nature, with the support of the Breath of Flame, he could still win against the restraint. After all, although water restrains fire, if the intensity of fire far exceeds that of water, it can suppress the water.
However, against Water Release ninjas of Terumi Mei and Kisame's caliber, his Fire Release intensity was a bit insufficient.
"There are two ways: one is to undergo special training for Earth Attribute Chakra Nature Changes, as the earth's nature restrains the nature of water at the level of Chakra nature. Even if you only learn an Earth Flow Wall, you can block many Water Release attacks." Mokgetsu thought for a moment and said.
When you know the enemy's information, the simplest way is definitely to target the problem; if the opponent is good at Water Release, then learn some Earth Release.
"And the other one?" Obito asked again.
He understood the relationships between different Ninjutsu's strengths and weaknesses. During the battle in the Forest of Death, he had once hidden under Kakashi's Earth Flow Wall to block Water Releases.
But Obito felt that learning Earth Release for a month just for those Hidden Mist wasn't worthwhile. After all, nature transformation isn't that easy to learn, and his innate attribute is still the Fire Attribute.
"Then try to develop the Breath of Flame Chakra Mode, to combat Water Release with stronger flames." Mokgetsu replied.
Mokgetsu felt that whichever choice Obito made was fine. Mastering another Escape Technique could allow for better response to different situations, while developing the pattern in advance would increase his burst limit.
"I'll pick the second one!" Obito thought for ten seconds and then said.
There was no doubt that mastering the Breath of Flame Chakra Mode was more enticing than learning Earth Release.
To avoid damaging too many trees, Mokgetsu took Obito to the riverside for training.
First, Mokgetsu switched from Breath of Rock to Breath of Flame and entered the Breath of Flame Pattern State.
With just a thought, a large amount of Chakra quickly transformed into Fire Attribute Chakra, and blazing flames burned in Mokgetsu's hand, failing to harm him in the slightest.
Each Breathing Technique has its unique traits. The Breath of Flame Pattern State provides extremely strong fire resistance, allowing direct use of flames without injury, even without any protection.
Moreover, this trait applies not just to flames the user produces, but to others' as well. In gaming terms, activating the pattern significantly enhances fire resistance.
Obito intensely stared at the intensely burning flame in Mokgetsu's hand. Since he was only half a meter away from Mokgetsu, he could clearly feel the terrifying heat radiating from the flame, which was incomparable to his current Fire Release.
Obito grew increasingly eager. In battles with Hidden Mist Jonins, he had unconsciously entered the Breath of Flame Chakra Mode, indicating that he would eventually reach Mokgetsu's realm.
"Fire Release: Mighty Dragon Fire Jutsu!"
Mokgetsu waved his hand, and the flames in his hand intensified, transforming into three fire dragons that shot towards the river.
Sssss!!
The fire dragons entered the water, instantly generating a large amount of steam, enveloping the area in white mist.
"Fire Dragon Flame Bomb!"
Mokgetsu planted his hands together and exhaled flames like a sea of fire. The flame, twisting like a fire dragon, avoided Obito standing nearby, scorching the surrounding earth to ash. As these vast flames appeared, the white mist vanished instantly.
Although the flames didn't even touch the hem of Obito's clothing, the terrifying proximity left him drenched in sweat.
Beneath the sweat, Obito was full of excitement. He already knew these two Ninjutsu; if he could enter the Breath of Flame Chakra Mode and release such powerful Fire Release Ninjutsu, evaporating Terumi Mei's Water Release wouldn't be a problem.
"This is the Breath of Flame Chakra Mode, allowing the use of Fire Release freely without hand seals, boasting strong resistance to flames, while also enhancing their power," Mokgetsu explained after exiting the Pattern State.
"Now you try, recall your feelings from that day, pushing the Breathing Technique to its limit."
Obito began to recall while closing his eyes— the sudden appearance of the Hidden Mist Jonin severely injuring him and Nohara Rin, with Might Guy getting knocked down but getting up repeatedly to protect them, with the Hidden Mist Jonin sneering at their persistence.
When these memories surged up, the fire in Obito's heart burned even fiercer. Even though the Hidden Mist Jonin was slain by Kakashi, the blaze in Obito's heart remained intense, for there might be others in the future who could harm his companions.
"Mighty Dragon Fire Jutsu!" Wanting to perform the Ninjutsu without hand seals like Mokgetsu, Obito waved his hand but only produced a small flame, failing to execute the Mighty Dragon Fire.
"Fire Dragon Flame Bomb!" Obito clapped his hands together again, only to spit out two fist-sized flames.
Feeling slightly embarrassed, Obito scratched his head, realizing how significant the gap was.
"You haven't truly entered the Breath of Flame Chakra Mode, so you can't have all of its effects," Mokgetsu said, patting Obito on the head.
Obito's Breath of Flame Pattern only had ten proficiency points, so it was impossible for him to have a pattern like Mokgetsu's, not to mention a shortage in Chakra.
After all, the pattern is an ability that a master level Breathing Technique must awaken. Obito's Breathing Technique hasn't even reached the proficient level; the fact that he can even touch on it shows his extraordinary affinity with Breath of Flame.
Mokgetsu wasn't surprised that Obito couldn't achieve it. After all, even Kakashi found it difficult to enter the Transparent World State again; even with twenty proficiency points, Kakashi's Transparent World was rare.
Mokgetsu thought about the difference and concluded it might be due to the abilities of the pattern and the Transparent World being different. In that battle with the Hidden Mist Jonin, Kakashi completely entered the Transparent World, whereas Obito was always in an incomplete pattern.
Next, Mokgetsu tested Obito's current incomplete pattern effect, finding that Fire Attribute Chakra Nature Changes were faster than in Full Concentration States, flames were stronger, and fire resistance was greatly increased.
In terms of strength enhancement, it was overall advantageous over ordinary Full Concentration but consumed Chakra quickly. If Obito fought with all his effort, accounting for the Sharingan's consumption, he'd be worn out in three minutes.
"This Chakra drains so fast," Obito said, feeling like he'd fought a thirty-minute battle after just a few minutes of testing.
"How about this: if you enter the Breath of Flame Chakra Mode, use Fire Release less or not at all, and attack opponents with Fire Release Nin-Taijutsu," Mokgetsu suggested.
Originally, Fire Release Nin-Taijutsu didn't exist because Fire Release directed at the body could cause self-injury, but the high fire resistance from the Breath of Flame Pattern solves this.
Additionally, with the high temperature and burning characteristics of flames, landing hits was undoubtedly unpleasant for opponents and guaranteed power, more cost-effective than just releasing a fireball at the ground.
If Fire Release Nin-Taijutsu couldn't defeat Water Release, then using intensified Fire Release Ninjutsu to expend large amounts of Chakra was a measure to extend the combat time.
Obito thought Mokgetsu's strategy was excellent, plus Fire Release Nin-Taijutsu was pretty cool.
Thus, Obito's special training plan was set: primarily focusing on Breathing Technique and Taijutsu, then combining the two to practice Fire Release Nin-Taijutsu, incorporating flames into every Taijutsu move.
