Only in this way, when facing a truly dangerous enemy, will you not make mistakes due to unnecessary emotions such as fear and anger.

This is the unshakable measure that belongs to the pillar.

["Yiyong, imagine the water surface... I want the water surface without waves... The breath of water is an unbreakable shield that can withstand any attack..."]

"The breath of water..."

The fire dragon was less than one meter away from him. Yiyong's clothes were ignited by the high temperature, and the skin on his face cracked and deformed.

"Type Eleven..."

Suddenly, a huge drop of ice-blue water fell from his ankle, floated in the air, and then spread out like a spreading wave, printing the surrounding area with the same color.

"Nagi."

The roaring fire dragon disappeared out of thin air at the moment it was about to engulf Yiyong, as if it had entered an invisible alien space.

Also missing was the flame on Yiyong's body.

The icy blue liquid under his body spread wider and wider as if it was suddenly replenished, like a lake made of translucent mercury, but eventually it flowed backwards and shrunk, and crawled back to the soles of Yiyong's feet as if consciously.

Yiyong opened his eyes, but his charred face was strangely more energetic than before.

[Your physical strength and chakra...have been replenished? Your injuries have also recovered a lot...]

He stretched out his hand and pulled hard, directly breaking the silk thread holding his right hand.

This is the ninjutsu ability of the Eleven type, which invalidates all non-water escape ninjutsu that enters the range of "Nagi", breaks it down into chakra and physical strength, and then replenishes and repairs the body.

The most important thing is that this move does not require chakra!

All it takes is for Yugi to enter that state of absolute calm.

Itachi opened his eyes wide for no apparent reason, and instantly came to Zhisui's side.

"what happened?"

"I did not do that."

Zhisui shook his head in disbelief, "I don't know exactly what happened. He clearly didn't even have a knife in his hand..."

Then, he waved his hand to Yiyong, who had broken free from the thread: "That's enough, that's enough, I won't fight."

[I only have the chakra of three fire dragons left...]

After saying that, a fierce white light flashed in the eyes of Itachi and Yiyong at the same time.

When they came back to their senses, they had returned to the mountain hut where Nanhe River was located, as evidenced by the roaring waterfall.

After Itachi confirmed that he was out of the illusion, he quickly turned to Giyu and confirmed that he didn't have any wounds on his body or showed any symptoms of a mental breakdown, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yiyong, even if you win this time. As agreed..."

Shisui paused, stretched greatly, then leaned forward and put his arms on the table, folded his hands and rested his chin on them, staring at Giyuu with slightly tired eyes as if looking at a treasure.

.

"I'm not going to lend it to you or anything. I won't be able to use this place anyway. Everything here will be yours from now on."

Yiyong blinked, unable to tell whether it was surprise or embarrassment.

"is this okay?"

"I will leave ANBU soon and go to patrol near the Kingdom of Water. You are so virtuous, so take good care of this place."

He smiled heartily, "Besides this valley, I can't think of a better place to hide your power. That last move just now really scared me."

"I will repay you."

Yiyong urgently needed such a private and safe place to practice the breath of fire, so he did not refuse.

Anyway, the Breath of the Moon is not technically a thing of the Demon Slayer Corps. Once you learn it, you can teach it to Shisui as a gift in return.

According to Yiyong's observation, since he has practiced water breathing for many years, he has a very high affinity for water attribute chakra.

Then letting Shisui practice the Breath of the Moon should also increase his mastery of Yin attribute chakra. He likes illusions so much, so he will definitely need this.

The only problem is that he may have to wait a few more years.

"Since you said so, I will always look forward to it, Yiyong."

Shisui raised a bright smile, then placed the bamboo tube aside on the table, poked it gently, and rolled towards Itachi.

What was inside was the ninjutsu scroll that Giyuu used to learn Water Release and Water Blade Slash, and contained the second-generation Hokage Senju Tobirama's lifelong experience in practicing Water Release.

"While I am away from the village, I will leave this to you for safekeeping."

He looked like he was asking for help, and it seemed like that.

Itachi originally didn't want to accept something so precious.

He knew that once he took it, even if he wanted to send it back to Shisui, the other party would probably not be able to take it back. He would probably give some lame excuse like "I'm still busy, so you can keep it for me for a while."

And his real purpose should be to let himself learn the above skills and then teach them to Yiyong.

The reason Shisui didn't give it directly to Giyuu was probably because he was worried that giving both things to Giyuu at once would make him feel bad.

【I really like taking care of others...】

In the end, Itachi couldn't refuse Shisui's brother-like eager eyes, so he could only take the bamboo tube and hold it in his hand without saying a word.

The thing was obviously not heavy, but he felt a heavy sense of trust and expectation.

So far...

Yiyong finally has a place where he can secretly practice the breath of fire.

He looked at the misty waterfall in the distance, determined to complete this goal before the ninja school started.

However, it seems to be a troublesome thing for the resurrected Purgatory Anjuro to stay in Konoha Village reasonably and legally.
