N-A-A Chapter 139 Rainbow Breath
Chapter 139 Rainbow Breath
Zenitsu was taken aback when he heard Nezuko ask about Thunder Breathing.
She then leaned closer with a puzzled look on her face, her golden hair swaying gently with her movements.
"Needouzi-chan, are you... are you still trying to combine different breathing techniques?"
Midouzi nodded slightly, her eyes showing a hint of seriousness and trouble.
"Hmm. Although Water Breathing is balanced and stable, after prolonged use, breathing will become slow or even stop; my brother's Hinokami Kagura Dance has too high requirements for breathing, and I just can't adapt to it. I always feel like I'm missing a rhythm that belongs to me."
Zenitsu immediately understood Nezuko's predicament after listening, and stopped his joking around, earnestly explaining the core principles of Thunder Breathing to her.
He explained everything in detail, from breathing rhythm to the way he exerted force, without holding back a single word.
Nezuko listened intently, but when she heard that Zenitsu only knew the first form of Thunder Breathing, she couldn't help but show obvious surprise on her face.
When this matter was brought up, Zenitsu immediately lowered his head, his mood clearly downcast, and his tone full of distress.
"I'm so useless... I can't learn anything except the First Form, even my senior brothers laugh at me."
"No, Zenitsu is obviously very strong."
Mi Douzi quickly and gently comforted her, her eyes sincere.
"You've saved me from danger so many times."
Zenitsu just hung his head in disbelief. He had no memory of those battles and only thought that Nezuko was gently comforting him.
After a moment, he managed to compose himself, looked up at Midouzi again, forced a smile, and made a serious suggestion.
"Nee-dou-chan, how about... you try learning Thunder Breathing? Other breathing techniques aren't suitable for you, but Thunder Breathing might be just right for you."
If Mizuko-chan learns Thunder Breathing, I can rightfully teach her step by step, and I can hold Mizuko-chan's little hand forever...
Zenitsu happily imagined the scene in his mind, a blush unconsciously rising on his face, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Midouzi was unaware of his ulterior motives; she was simply pondering the matter seriously and felt that it was indeed a possibility worth trying.
After confirming repeatedly that learning Thunder Breathing wouldn't cause Zenitsu any trouble, she made up her mind to try training it.
Zenitsu was so excited he almost jumped up, his mind filled with the image of being able to touch Nezuko up close.
But what happened the next second left him stunned and completely dumbfounded.
"Focus your breathing, channel all your power into your legs, activate your muscles with your breath, and unleash lightning speed..."
As she softly repeated the mantra of Zenitsu, Nezuko slowly adjusted her breathing.
As her steady, long breaths rose and fell, bright yellow lightning instantly coiled around the outside of her calves, crackling with electricity, and even her breathing became as deep and powerful as muffled thunder.
The next moment, Midouzi's figure suddenly disappeared.
All that remained was a streak of yellow lightning that cut through the air, gone in the blink of an eye.
She appeared dozens of meters away, her wooden knife cleanly and efficiently slicing through a row of wooden stakes, her movements swift and decisive.
Zenitsu stood there, frozen in place, as if struck by lightning.
He couldn't believe it; he had only casually recited the incantation once, and Nidouzi had instantly mastered Thunder Breathing.
This talent is simply monstrous.
After receiving Zenitsu's astonished affirmation, Nezuko also felt that Thunder Breathing was not difficult, but its explosive power was extremely strong while its endurance was relatively weak.
So she began to try to combine Thunder Breathing with Water Breathing, and later gradually added the movements of Hinokami Kagura, constantly refining and adjusting to find the rhythm that best suited her.
Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu watched Nezuko practicing diligently in the courtyard and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Zenitsu gazed at the figure switching between the three auras and murmured.
"The three breathing techniques combined... make the fermented soybean paste look like a rainbow."
The memory abruptly ends, and the scene instantly shifts back to this dreamlike world of falling snow.
As Midouzi continued to nimbly dodge the blood-red vines that were frantically attacking Xiaxiansi, she simultaneously recalled Mr. Lianyu's words of encouragement.
She gradually let go of her obsession and stopped insisting on forcibly integrating the three breathing techniques.
Instead, they wanted to dismantle and reassemble them to forge a path that truly belonged to them.
"Zenitsu, Rengoku-san, Shinobu Kocho... thank you for your encouragement and help all this time."
Mi Douzi spoke softly, her eyes gradually becoming brighter and more determined.
"I think... I know what kind of breathing to use now."
She exerted her strength, skillfully dodging the sweeping vines, quickly creating a safe distance, and steadily retreating to the center of an open snowfield.
"Zenitsu, you said I'm like a rainbow, and I like that very much."
Mi Douzi gently raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a gentle yet dazzling smile.
"Then I will use the word 'rainbow' to create my own breathing method."
As soon as he finished speaking, Midouzi slowly sheathed his sword, pushed off the ground with his right leg, and assumed a standard sword-drawing stance. His aura suddenly became calm and sharp.
The Lower Moon Four, seeing Mizuko suddenly step back with a smile on her face, felt completely bewildered. Her brows furrowed tightly, and she muttered disdainfully.
"Playing the fool, still putting on airs even when death is imminent!"
It roared and waved its hands wildly, activating the Blood Demon Technique.
The ground trembled violently, and blood-red vines, several times thicker than before, burst forth from the soil, carrying with them deadly poison and a foul stench.
Like a giant python, it pounced fiercely on Midouzi, its momentum overwhelming, determined to strangle her completely.
Mizuko closed her eyes and mentally overlapped and merged the smoothness of Water Breathing, the swiftness of Thunder Breathing, and the heat of Hinokami Kagura into one.
When he opened his eyes again, only a clear and resolute look remained.
"This is my breathing technique, First Form."
She let out a long, steady breath.
In an instant, the azure of Water Breathing, the golden of Thunder Breathing, and the crimson flames of Kagura Dance surged forth from her body simultaneously.
The three auras intertwined and swirled, slowly merging together to form a dazzling and radiant ring of colorful light around her.
The highly poisonous vines were almost upon them, rushing towards them with destructive force.
Mi Douzi suddenly looked up, her eyes sharp as knives.
The three colors of energy completely merged and became one, transforming into a rainbow of light that stretched across the heavens and earth.
She gripped the knife hilt tightly, her voice clear and firm, echoing throughout the entire dream:
"Rainbow Breathing - First Form - Rainbow Dance Flash!"
(Friends, you can check out the AI short video I made about Nidouzi a few days ago.)
(This is the breathing technique that Nezuko is using right now.)
(AI-generated short videos do indeed lack the visual effects of officially produced ones, and I'm working hard to learn how to do it.)
(Although it burns through the budget like Ufotable, it's still watchable.)
(If you like it, please give me lots of encouragement, and I'll make even better ones.)
