Tanjiro Kamado Template

"I didn't expect to lose to you after all."

Nawaki sighed as he spoke.

A year ago, when he and Natsuki first sparred, he had been shocked by his Sword Technique.

In order not to be overtaken by him, he had been diligently studying Strength Enhancement and Water Release throughout this past year.

He had thought he could maintain the gap between them, but he was defeated after only a year.

This left him feeling dazed, having been called a genius since he was a child.

"I had the advantage of using a self-created secret technique."

Natsuki sheathed his Wooden Sword and explained.

"A self-created secret technique is also a manifestation of strength."

Nawaki shook his head and said.

Although losing to Natsuki made his feelings somewhat complicated, a loss was a loss, and he would not make excuses.

"Both of you performed very well."

Orochimaru interrupted their conversation.

Nawaki had now mastered Strength Enhancement and several Water Release ninjutsu, with strength comparable to an elite Chunin.

And he was only eleven years old this year; his future was limitless.

There was no need to even mention Natsuki.

To be able to create his own Sword Technique, ninjutsu, and secret techniques at the age of eight—given time, becoming a second Senju Tobirama would not be a problem.

Most importantly, they were both his students.

For a moment, Orochimaru felt very satisfied.

"Let's fight again next time."

Nawaki quickly recovered his mood and said with a smile, "I've already figured out your self-created secret technique."

"Perhaps I'll have a new secret technique by then."

Natsuki blinked and said.

"...?"

Nawaki couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

How is it that creating secret techniques sounds so simple coming from you?

[You have awakened the Tanjiro Kamado template.]

Who did you say?

Natsuki felt a shock in his heart, followed immediately by excitement.

Tanjiro Kamado was the protagonist of Demon Slayer.

Why would he awaken the Tanjiro Kamado template because of Nawaki?

Natsuki hurriedly looked at the Tanjiro Kamado template.

[Name: Tanjiro Kamado.]

[Period: Before Natagumo Mountain.]

[World: Demon Slayer.]

[Rank: B-Rank.]

[Ability 1: Water Breathing, Unlocked.]

[Effect: A combination of the original breathing style and Water Release; while improving physical abilities, it can enhance the power of Water Release.]

[Ability 2: Water Breathing First Form, Second Form, Third Form, Locked.]

[Effect: The first three forms of Water Breathing.]

[Unlock Condition: Introductory level Water Release Chakra nature transformation.]

[Ability 3: Water Breathing Fourth Form, Fifth Form, Sixth Form, Locked.]

[Effect: The middle three forms of Water Breathing.]

[Unlock Condition: Defeat three Chunin or Special Jonin who specialize in Water Release or Sword Technique respectively.]

[Ability 4: Water Breathing Seventh Form, Eighth Form, Ninth Form, Locked.]

[Effect: The last three forms of Water Breathing.]

[Unlock Condition: Proficient level Water Release Chakra nature transformation.]

[Ability 5: Water Breathing Tenth Form Constant Flux, Locked.]

[Effect: Like a coiling giant dragon, continuously launch several rotating slashes.]

[Unlock Condition: Thoroughly master Water Breathing, activate Total Concentration Constant.]

Natsuki finished reading and secretly thought, as expected.

Tanjiro Kamado knew Water Breathing and Sun Breathing, but the template provided only included Water Breathing.

This was undoubtedly related to Nawaki's Water Release.

Natsuki stood where he was, digesting the information about Water Breathing in his mind.

The essence of the breathing techniques in Demon Slayer is to strengthen cardiopulmonary function, absorbing a large amount of oxygen in a short time to enhance physical capabilities.

Only when combined with various sword techniques do styles such as water, lightning, flame, stone, and wind emerge.

Although it looks like they have elemental attributes, they are actually primarily physical attacks, with sword qi as a supplement.

However, after the system's modification, Water Breathing became true Water Breathing, combining Water Release with the breathing technique.

It not only enhances physical capabilities but also increases the power of Water Release.

This means that Water Release in the Ninja World can also benefit from the bonuses of Water Breathing.

Precisely because of this, once Natsuki mastered Water Breathing, he automatically possessed the water attribute.

Coupled with the earth and wind he had before, he already possessed three Chakra attributes.

For him, this was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.

And with the water attribute, it would be easier to meet the unlock conditions for the second ability.

It requires entry-level Water Release Chakra nature transformation.

Chakra transformation is divided into shape transformation and nature transformation.

Shape transformation, as the name implies, is the shape presented by Chakra or ninjutsu.

For example, the Rasengan is known as the pinnacle of shape transformation because its shape is not fixed; it belongs to irregular rotation.

Nature transformation is turning Chakra that has no inherent attribute into Chakra with an attribute, such as Earth Release, Lightning Release, Wind Release, and so on.

Natsuki already possessed the water attribute.

Entry-level Water Release Chakra nature transformation requires him to be able to convert his Chakra into Water Release anytime and anywhere.

The proficient and master levels of Water Release Chakra nature transformation have higher requirements, demanding that he be able to mold Water Release Chakra into any shape.

This is also the unlock condition for the fourth ability.

Of the four abilities, in Natsuki's view, the unlock conditions for the second and third abilities are the simplest.

They can be completed given enough time.

Although defeating three Special Jonin who specialize in Water Release or sword techniques would be troublesome.

The hardest to unlock is undoubtedly the fifth ability.

Its requirement is to activate Total Concentration Constant for Water Breathing.

Simply put, it means keeping Water Breathing active twenty-four hours a day, allowing basic physical strength to be improved.

Difficult as it may be, if he masters Total Concentration Constant, it means he is training his body around the clock.

Whether it is taijutsu or sword techniques, they can all be correspondingly enhanced.

In battle, this is also a huge advantage.

"Senior Nawaki, can you teach me Water Release Chakra nature transformation?"

Natsuki composed himself and asked.

"Why do you suddenly want to learn Water Release?"

Nawaki was slightly stunned and asked subconsciously.

"Creating two Shadow Secret Techniques, which are Yin Release ninjutsu, is already my limit."

Natsuki said, half-truthfully, "My next plan is to create my own Water Release ninjutsu. You know, the Second Hokage is my idol."

Nawaki opened his mouth, speechless for a long time.

Although learning Water Release is indeed simpler than learning Yin Release, creating one's own Water Release is not the same as learning it; the difficulty is completely different.

Moreover, given Natsuki's age, the difficulty of learning Water Release is very high.

Normally, mastering two Chakra attributes qualifies one to become a Jonin.

"Then can I learn the Water Release you create?"

Nawaki came back to his senses and asked curiously.

"If there is a Water Release suitable for you, I will teach you."

Natsuki replied.

How should he put it?

Nawaki definitely couldn't learn the ten forms of Water Breathing because he didn't know sword techniques.

But he might be able to learn Water Breathing itself.

Natsuki could just happen to verify whether the character abilities he obtained could be taught to others.

"When the time comes, I'll teach you the Water Release I've learned too."

Nawaki said upon hearing this.

He had always been a fair person.

Natsuki nodded.

The Water Release of Senju Tobirama was indeed quite impressive.

Since he possessed Water Breathing to amplify the power of Water Release, learning a few techniques wouldn't be a bad thing.
