"'Breathing Technique'!?" Shion was a little taken aback. "I've never heard of that at the Ninja Academy. What is it?"
Shinji explained, "You can think of a 'Breathing Technique' as a secret Taijutsu art. It doesn't involve Chakra at all. It's a set of techniques that use breathing to activate your body and draw out the power hidden within it!"
Shion looked delighted. "It's that amazing?"
Shinji nodded and continued, "As a Miko, you're actually among the people in the Shinobi World best suited to training in a 'Breathing Technique'!"
"Why?"
"Didn't I just say? A 'Breathing Technique' doesn't involve Chakra, so the stronger your body is, the more effective it'll be. For example, if the two of us trained in the same 'Breathing Technique,' it would inevitably work better for you than me, because your body as a Miko is on a whole other level compared to mine."
Shinji gave her an example.

She realized that a 'Breathing Technique' was simply a way to draw out the body's strength. If you compared the human body to a mine, then a 'Breathing Technique' was a machine for excavating its minerals.
Some people were born strong and gifted, so their mines held abundant deposits. Others were naturally frail and sickly, so their mines had little to offer.
So even with the same 'Breathing Technique' excavator, different people would get different results.
"The 'Breathing Technique' I'm going to teach you is called 'Water Breathing.' It's a very gentle 'Breathing Technique.' Once you master it, your Taijutsu ability will improve several times over, at the very least!"
With that, Shinji began explaining the techniques and key points of 'Water Breathing' to Shion.
Knowing that a 'Breathing Technique' was a valuable secret Taijutsu art, Shion put aside
