Chapter 493: Mugetsu's Pokémon Egg
Land of Rain, Shinobi Sect Headquarters.
Mugetsu sat with Yahiko and the others, discussing where the Shinobi Sect's main base should be established.
The situation had changed. The Shinobi Sect's status now rivaled Amegakure itself. They could not just pick any random place to settle down. The location had to be chosen carefully, weighing multiple factors.
"How about a village in the central part of the Land of Rain?" Yahiko suggested with bright energy. "That way, the Shinobi Sect's influence can spread across the whole country more easily, and we can provide better security to everyone."
Right now, the thing Yahiko wanted most was peace. If the headquarters was placed in the center, Shinobi Sect ninja could respond to trouble in any direction as fast as possible.
"You want every move we make to happen right under Amegakure's nose?" Kakuzu shot back.
Amegakure itself was established in the central region. With the manpower difference between the two sides, it would not be hard for Amegakure to keep the Shinobi Sect under watch.
Even if they were coexisting peacefully for now, in Kakuzu's eyes, an enemy you were not fighting temporarily was still an enemy. You treated them with caution, always.
"If we choose the central region, Amegakure's ninja will inevitably become more wary of us," Ikechou added.
During the peace talks, Hanzo had already shown deep apprehension toward the Shinobi Sect. If the Shinobi Sect moved close enough to breathe the same air, Ikechou suspected Hanzo might not sleep properly again.
His sleep quality did not matter to them, but they could not ignore the possibility of Hanzo growing desperate as the Shinobi Sect expanded daily, tearing up the treaty and triggering a civil war.
For the Shinobi Sect, time was an ally. The longer things delayed, the better.
"Then we will not choose the central region." Yahiko listened, then realized he had been careless. He turned back to the large map of the Land of Rain on the table and began searching again, trying to find a spot that favored the Shinobi Sect.
"Nagato, do you have a good location?" Yahiko asked casually while scanning the map.
Nagato thought for a moment before replying. "If the goal is peace, then the eastern region seems like a good spot."
Nagato always kept Mugetsu's words in his heart. Before you acted, you had to clarify your objective.
"The eastern region is trapped in chaos because of the Konoha versus Iwagakure war and the Sunagakure versus Kumogakure war," Nagato continued. "If we can calm the east, it should significantly help bring peace to the entire Land of Rain…"
As he spoke, he noticed everyone staring at him.
Nagato's voice turned cautious, as if he was afraid he had said something wrong.
Yahiko happily patted Nagato's shoulder. "Nagato, you are improving so fast. You think about things much more completely than I do."
Nagato smiled, a little embarrassed. He did not think he was better than Yahiko. He simply remembered more of what Mugetsu had taught and used it to analyze the information they already had.
"Stopping the chaos in the east would definitely help," Kakuzu said, "but the danger there might even exceed the central region."
He pointed at the map.
The eastern Land of Rain sat close to two battlefields.
To the north was the war between Iwagakure and Konoha in the Land of Grass.
To the south was the war between Kumogakure and Sunagakure in the Land of Rivers.
Caught between them, the eastern Land of Rain had become like a sieve. It was completely normal to see ninja from any of the great villages moving through.
And because of that environment, the eastern Land of Rain now had the highest number of rogue ninja, along with the most active ninja organizations.
"After all," Kakuzu said bluntly, "the Shinobi Sect is still missing a large amount of mid level power."
That was their most fatal weakness.
Even if they were considered a village, their high level combat power was strong. They had Mugetsu, who could suppress Hanzo the Salamander, and they had young talents like Nagato.
But in the middle, they fell far behind. Most Shinobi Sect ninja could not defeat the experienced chunin of the five great villages.
In a region as chaotic as the east, nobody foolish would provoke Mugetsu or Kakuzu directly.
But the other Shinobi Sect ninja would not receive the same "respect."
If conflicts broke out, battle would be inevitable.
Nagato's expression wavered at once. He opened his mouth, wanting to withdraw his suggestion. He did not want his comrades walking into danger.
But Kakuzu spoke again before Nagato could deny it.
"Of course, I am not saying we should not go," Kakuzu said calmly. "A dangerous environment can sharpen ability. It might even be better for the Shinobi Sect as a whole."
Nagato hesitated again. He could not decide whether the east was a good choice or a reckless one.
"Let us put it to a vote," Mugetsu said. "Let everyone decide for themselves."
Going east was actually more convenient for Mugetsu personally, since Konoha lay to the east of the Land of Rain, and the eastern border touched the Land of Fire.
But as the Shinobi Sect's leader, Mugetsu could not choose the headquarters based on personal convenience.
In the end, they did as Mugetsu suggested.
They explained the pros and cons to the entire Shinobi Sect. Over a hundred Shinobi Sect ninja voted together.
When the result was tallied, Nagato was stunned.
The eastern region, clearly more dangerous, received the most votes.
Nagato did not understand.
Most people were not as strong as Yahiko or Konan, so why would they willingly choose the most dangerous option?
In the past, Nagato would have swallowed the question and turned it over silently in his mind.
But now, with a trustworthy teacher beside him, he asked directly.
"Why did they choose the east?" Nagato asked Mugetsu.
"If you want the answer," Mugetsu replied, "you should not ask me. Ask those who voted."
He led Nagato to the ninja who had chosen the eastern region.
"I am from the eastern Land of Rain," one man said. "It is not only chaotic now. It was like that even during the Second Shinobi World War. If the Shinobi Sect can bring peace there, that is a contribution to my hometown. And danger? When is being a shinobi not dangerous?"
Nagato was even more surprised when he realized many of the voters were originally from the east.
They knew exactly how dangerous it was.
"Even if it is dangerous," another ninja said, "the east has many shinobi moving through. That is good for strengthening the Shinobi Sect's influence."
Some believed danger was also opportunity, and that it could accelerate the Shinobi Sect's growth.
After they finished asking around, Mugetsu looked at Nagato.
"Did you get the answer you wanted?"
Nagato nodded, then lowered his head.
"Compared to them… I seem indecisive. Too conservative."
Mugetsu smiled and patted Nagato's head.
"Or maybe you are simply too kind, and you do not want to see your comrades get hurt. That is not a bad thing."
He turned back to the group, already thinking forward.
"The east is dangerous," Mugetsu said. "For the next two months, we can suspend Shinobi Sect activities and hold special training to raise our strength. I will be the instructor."
Mugetsu's gaze sharpened with intent.
"We can even invite Amegakure's ninja to join us, so they can also contribute to what happens in the east."
He wanted to test Amegakure's attitude, and he also wanted to organize a major event to see whether he could push for a higher level class reward.
He felt that if he could get seventy percent of Amegakure ninja at chunin level or above to attend, along with all the Shinobi Sect ninja, the chance of success would be high.
If that still was not enough, then he would truly have to hold a Five Kage Summit and push even higher. Amegakure was already among the strongest villages below the five great villages.
Beyond the location, the Shinobi Sect still had a pile of miscellaneous work. They needed to determine their organizational structure and certify ranks for the Shinobi Sect ninja.
Mugetsu was unanimously chosen as leader.
Because the Shinobi Sect was still small, he did not make the departments complicated. For now, they tentatively established only a military department, with Kakuzu as its head.
"The reason we gathered is for the peace of the Land of Rain, and the peace of the shinobi world," Yahiko said seriously. "That is exactly what the Shinobi Sect is doing, so the Akatsuki no longer needs to exist."
As the Shinobi Sect officially took shape, Yahiko formally announced the dissolution of the Akatsuki organization.
From this moment on, there would be only the Shinobi Sect. No more Akatsuki organization.
Yahiko's logic was simple.
The Shinobi Sect itself was an organization. The entire Akatsuki had joined it. If Akatsuki stayed as a separate group, it would become an organization within an organization, making its existence pointless.
"Boss, are you sure?" Kyusuke teased. "If you do that, you will not be our boss anymore."
Kyusuke was a veteran member of Akatsuki, but he had no intention of opposing the decision. To him, the Shinobi Sect was simply a bigger Akatsuki under a different name.
"That is not necessarily true," Yahiko laughed. "Teacher Sosuke said he would form a special operations squad codenamed Akatsuki. If I become the captain, then transfer you in as a member, would I not be your boss again?"
"If we are competing, I will not yield to you," Kyusuke declared, refusing to be outdone.
Nagato and Konan, the founders of Akatsuki, had no objections either.
The more someone truly wanted to realize Akatsuki's ideals, the less they would oppose this resolution, because the Shinobi Sect was already walking the path Akatsuki once dreamed of.
Mugetsu did not change the rank system. They continued using the universally recognized jonin, chunin, and genin.
However, he did not adopt Amegakure's standards.
He certified ranks using Konoha's standards.
Because the faction was still in its early stage, Mugetsu lowered the requirements in practice, allowing most who had sufficient strength to become jonin.
In the end, five people became official jonin.
Mugetsu, Kakuzu, Konan, Yahiko, and Nagato.
In addition, two became special jonin, and one of them was Kyusuke.
Fifty two people became chunin. Most of the ninja who had traveled around the Land of Rain with Mugetsu now had chunin level strength.
There were sixty eight genin.
Then, two messages appeared in Mugetsu's vision.
[System: Disciple Nagato trained diligently and studied seriously, achieving major growth within the Shinobi Sect. Reward obtained: Chakra plus 3000, Sealing Technique Mastery Scroll, Unknown Pokémon Egg (hatchable only by Nagato).]
[System: Disciples Nagato, Kakashi, Guy, Obito, and Shisui studied seriously under your guidance, achieving major growth in overall quality. Reward obtained: Unknown Pokémon Egg (hatchable only by Mugetsu).]
After Mugetsu finished handling the Shinobi Sect's affairs, he returned calmly to his room.
The room was reinforced with sealing techniques.
He took out his own Pokémon egg.
From past experience, the bound hatcher could glimpse the egg's contents once it was in their hands. Mugetsu was curious what the system had given him this time.
Was it a regional starter?
A pseudo legendary with high base stats?
Or something even rarer?
But when Mugetsu activated his Byakugan and stared into the large egg, something unexpected happened.
He could not see anything.
A thick green light blocked his vision completely.
Mugetsu deactivated his Byakugan and stored the egg back into system space.
For him, not being able to see inside was actually good news. It suggested the Pokémon within was extraordinary.
Of course, there was another possibility.
This was a teacher's egg, and the system might have strengthened its anti peeping measures.
Either way, Mugetsu's mentality was steady.
Because as long as it was a Pokémon, it would easily surpass most summoning beasts in the shinobi world.
Mugetsu did not immediately hand Nagato his egg.
Instead, he publicly announced that he needed to go out for a trip, and reminded Shinobi Sect ninja to remain cautious.
From their perspective, Sosuke had always stayed within the Shinobi Sect. If an egg like this suddenly appeared, its origin would become an issue.
If not for Black Zetsu lurking in the shadows, Mugetsu would not care. His disciples would not pry.
But with White Zetsu monitoring them, Mugetsu needed to put on a show.
His alias could not be exposed.
With transformation, even if Sosuke and Mugetsu resembled each other, Black Zetsu and Madara would never guess they were the same person.
To prevent accidents, Mugetsu left a shadow clone behind at the Shinobi Sect in case Black Zetsu tried to stir trouble.
After leaving, Mugetsu's main body rushed back to Konoha overnight.
He still had to teach the ANBU class tomorrow morning.
And an S rank evaluation for a mid level class was a reward he could not refuse.
…
After becoming Teacher Mugetsu's disciple, Yamato began visiting the South Border Forest more often, not just on Sundays.
He was happy, because it meant he could spend more time with Mugetsu during the day, instead of only those two or three hours at night.
But what Yamato did not expect was that the Mugetsu in the South Border Forest was actually a shadow clone.
At first, Yamato did not realize it. The clone's behavior was too natural. There was nothing that gave it away.
It was not until one training session ended, and Mugetsu vanished before Yamato's eyes in a puff of white smoke, that Yamato understood.
The Teacher Mugetsu who had been teaching him was a shadow clone.
"When Teacher Mugetsu is busy, he sends a shadow clone to teach us," Kakashi explained when he saw Yamato's bewildered expression.
Kakashi had lived through it before. He could even guess exactly what Yamato was thinking.
"You are thinking Teacher Mugetsu is truly dedicated, and it is great to be his disciple, right?" Kakashi said calmly.
Yamato covered his heart and stared at Kakashi, shocked.
How could this person read minds?
"Actually," Kakashi corrected, "you should be covering your brain. That is what does the thinking."
Yamato instantly changed posture, pressing his hands to his head and watching Kakashi warily.
"You and Obito probably have a lot in common," Kakashi concluded.
Yamato looked even more confused, not understanding what Kakashi meant.
Obito had been preparing to go home, but got dragged into the conversation anyway. He snapped instantly.
"I do not have anything in common with him!" Obito shouted.
Kakashi's eye did not even twitch.
"You are the one who has something in common with him," Obito shot back, refusing to lose.
Yamato still did not understand what was happening, but he felt insulted anyway.
"You will not admit it?" Kakashi said flatly. "Then we will prove it with facts."
Ever since Obito's Fire Dragon hatched, he had become a little too cocky. Kakashi decided it was time to remind him who the vice captain was.
Kakashi pulled three test papers from his ninja tool pouch.
"These are questions I compiled based on what Teacher Mugetsu taught," Kakashi said, holding them up. "We will see the truth on paper."
Obito went stiff.
Playing dirty, huh?
Who puts test papers in a ninja tool pouch?
Yamato scratched his head, completely lost.
This clearly started with him, yet now he felt like an innocent bystander dragged into a battlefield.
Kakashi continued, voice calm and merciless.
"These are all questions Teacher Mugetsu has explained. Surely nobody would fail questions they have already been taught."
Kakashi glanced toward Rin.
"Rin, you agree, right?"
Rin looked at Kakashi, then at Obito, answering with uncertainty.
"Even if they were explained, fully mastering everything is still hard, right? Time has passed, and people learn differently. But passing should not be difficult."
Kakashi sighed as if disappointed in himself.
"Rin, you have a point. I did not consider differences in ability. Comrades should save face for each other. This paper is still…"
He made a motion as if he was about to stuff the papers back into his pouch.
Obito could not stand it anymore.
He could not pass a brand new test, but if these were all questions they had already done before, how could he fail?
Impossible.
He would pass.
"Wait, Kakashi!" Obito grabbed Kakashi's hand, eyes blazing. "Today, I will let you witness the value of an eighty percent score on the chunin exams written test!"
At the same time, Obito grabbed Yamato, who had been preparing to leave.
He was going to use his score to prove he was smarter than Yamato.
The corner of Kakashi's mouth lifted slightly.
Obito was far too easy to read.
Kakashi then revealed three identical test papers and handed one to each of them.
Yamato stared at the black ink on white paper, and his sense of reality began to wobble.
He recognized every character.
But once they formed sentences, they suddenly looked alien.
Are these really the characters used in the Land of Fire?
Maybe they are foreign characters that just look similar.
Seeing Yamato on the verge of fainting, Obito laughed inwardly.
This was a necessary step for every disciple of Teacher Mugetsu.
For a moment, Obito even considered something dangerous.
Should he suggest to Teacher Mugetsu that they restart regular practice tests?
He wanted Yamato to experience the true hell, the mountain of increasingly numerous papers, the staggered practice that never ended.
But as soon as the memory surfaced, Obito's body shivered.
He shook his head hard.
No.
This was Pandora's box.
Once opened, Yamato would not be the only one suffering. Teacher Mugetsu always treated everyone equally. If there were papers, everyone would do them.
As his mind spun, Obito glanced sideways and saw that Kakashi had already finished several questions.
Obito jolted.
He had not even started.
He grabbed his pen and began writing frantically.
But once he started, Obito discovered a serious problem.
He vaguely remembered these questions, but he could not remember how Teacher Mugetsu taught them.
He only remembered his own thought process from back then.
"Damn it," Obito thought, sadness rising in his chest. "Does that mean I only remember the wrong answers?"
His confidence began to crack.
Obito took a deep breath.
He still had a trump card.
It was shameless, but it guaranteed survival.
If things got desperate, he could activate his Sharingan and copy a few answers.
Then.
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"
A thin wall rose between Kakashi and Obito, carved with a dog's head.
Obito stared.
His trump card was gone.
Now he could not even see Kakashi's paper.
Obito's annoyance spiked. He scratched his head and ears instinctively.
But when he glanced at Yamato beside him, already trapped in philosophical despair, Obito could not help laughing out loud.
His inner frustration eased.
Looking at Yamato now felt like looking at his past self.
Obito forced himself to answer the questions.
Based on experience, he avoided using his own thought process and instead tried to recall the correct patterns, hoping to make fewer mistakes.
"I am finished." An hour later, Kakashi put down his pen and used chakra to return the earth wall into the ground.
There were not many questions, and everything had been covered before, so Kakashi finished quickly.
"Kakashi senpai," Yamato said weakly, "please take this paper written in some unknown language away."
Obito looked at Yamato with pity.
This was what happened when you were tormented by test papers for the first time.
Thump.
Kakashi tapped Yamato's head with his index and middle finger.
"What nonsense are you talking about? These are clearly the characters of the Land of Fire."
Kakashi turned to Obito.
"Obito, are you done?"
Obito felt pressure like a kunai at his throat when he saw Kakashi's completed paper.
He grabbed his pen again and continued, thinking so hard his skull felt hot.
And so, Yamato and Kakashi watched Obito struggle for another hour.
With their gaze on his back, and Yamato's stomach rumbling occasionally, Obito did not dare pause.
When he finally finished, he did not even dare check his answers.
He just declared himself done.
Grumble.
Yamato's stomach rumbled again, shamelessly loud.
But neither Kakashi nor Obito noticed. They were already grading each other's papers using the answer key Kakashi had written down.
"The competition between Teacher Mugetsu's disciples is so fierce," Yamato lamented silently.
He had not been this hungry even while being secretly trained by Danzo.
Root at least fed people on time.
"One hundred points," Obito said, reluctantly handing Kakashi's paper back.
He wanted to give Kakashi a low score, but he had to admit it.
Kakashi was terrifying.
He had memorized everything Teacher Mugetsu taught, practically without error.
Obito then graded himself in his head. Since he had just written everything, he remembered his answers.
"I probably got a little over fifty. I should not have spaced out and let my mind wander. If I had focused the whole time, I should have passed."
Obito was relieved Rin had already left.
If he failed, the worst that would happen was Kakashi mocking him.
"Sixty," Kakashi announced. "Barely passing."
Obito stared.
Did he misremember what he wrote?
Kakashi clicked his tongue, voice low with regret.
"Tsk. I was so close to stomping your face into the ground."
Kakashi spoke softly, but they stood close enough that Obito still heard it.
Obito nearly exploded.
"Hey! You just said something absolutely unforgivable!"
But because Obito had passed using his own ability, his mood was good. He decided not to hold it against Kakashi.
"So," Yamato asked weakly, "can I go home and eat now?"
He was genuinely starving. He just wanted to leave the South Border Forest and buy something.
"What do you want to eat?" Obito said generously. "It is on me."
They shared the bond of test paper suffering. One meal was nothing.
"Sanma and yakitori," Kakashi answered instantly, stealing the chance.
"No problem," Obito replied without thinking, then froze when he realized who spoke.
His expression changed at once.
"No! No sanma, and definitely no yakitori!"
Yamato felt numb.
He had a strong feeling he would not be eating anytime soon.
From recent experience, when those two started contradicting each other, it usually lasted about ten minutes.
Kakashi silently pulled out a photograph.
"Treat me to dinner," Kakashi said, "and this photo is yours."
Obito lunged for it, but Kakashi stepped aside, dodging cleanly.
"I will treat you," Obito said, patting dust off his clothes as if forcing dignity back into place. "But you absolutely cannot go back on your word!"
The fact that Kakashi had secretly taken an unflattering photo of him during internal sparring was a knife in Obito's heart.
He wanted to burn that photo until not even ash remained.
"As everyone knows," Kakashi said calmly, "I am very good at keeping promises."
In truth, Kakashi had already planned to give it to Obito.
He had a hundred identical copies at home.
Giving away one did not matter.
Because Kakashi used the photo to end the match, the conflict ended far earlier than Yamato expected.
"Finally," Yamato thought, "I can eat."
Obito and Kakashi then took the starving Yamato into town.
Since it was already evening, snack vendors had set up everywhere. Obito did not take Yamato for a full meal. Instead, he moved from stall to stall.
Before the test began, Obito had already sent a shadow clone home to notify his grandmother, so returning late was fine.
Yamato did not get a proper dinner, but the variety of snacks, things he had never eaten before, left him satisfied.
His living allowance was small. He usually could not afford this.
"Obito senpai is actually not bad," Yamato admitted inwardly.
Even if Obito dragged him into the test, Obito also treated him to a lot of good food. He was a good person.
"Kakashi," Obito said, staring hard at Kakashi's ninja tool pouch, "you are full now, right? Hand over the photo."
At that moment, Obito wanted to blast Kakashi's tool pouch with Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.
Not putting proper tools inside, but test papers and secret photos. Was that decent?
"Here," Kakashi said, handing it over with an indifferent expression. "Take it."
Obito snatched it instantly, then retreated two meters and watched Kakashi with intense suspicion.
He thought Kakashi would let him have it, then steal it back the moment Obito blinked.
This was the inherently wicked white haired Kakashi, after all.
Obito had every reason to believe Kakashi would do something like that.
But Kakashi did nothing.
Obito muttered under his breath.
"Did I misjudge him?"
"I enjoyed the meal today," Kakashi said, seeing through Obito's thoughts. "You can keep the photo for your own collection. I am too lazy to steal it back."
With that, Kakashi waved and turned to leave.
Kakashi's sudden magnanimity made Obito feel awkward about his caution.
Still, to prevent future complications, Obito immediately burned the photo to ash.
"Yamato, quickly use Earth Release to make a pit," Obito ordered. "I need to bury the ashes."
To completely erase any chance of the photo resurfacing, Obito even considered that there might be ninjutsu that could restore objects.
Yamato did not understand, but he felt indebted for the food, so he did it.
When the ashes were buried beneath the earth, never to see the light again, Obito finally smiled.
From today on, he would no longer fear Kakashi threatening him with that unflattering photo.
On the way home, Obito walked with swagger.
Not only did he pass the test, he also destroyed the wicked photo completely.
He was truly amazing today.
…
That night, Mugetsu began developing a Shinobi Sect exclusive breathing technique.
A breathing technique alone would not expose his identity.
Mugetsu was not the only person in the shinobi world who understood breathing techniques. Others had developed related skills as well.
But if Sosuke suddenly used Great Sunny Day, that would expose him immediately. That ninjutsu was far too recognizable, and such a secret technique had never appeared in the shinobi world before.
Even then, it would only expose him to Madara and Black Zetsu, since they held more information about Mugetsu.
Others would, at most, assume Great Sunny Day was not unique to Mugetsu, or that one person stole it from the other.
Mugetsu's plan for the Shinobi Sect's breathing technique was similar to the direction of Darkness Breathing.
That was because standard breathing techniques were truly difficult to cultivate.
Kakashi and the others made it look easy, reaching the Constant State within a year or two, with some even awakening Breathing Technique Chakra Mode early.
But that speed came from many stacked factors.
First, the breathing techniques they practiced were highly compatible with them, and their natural talent was outstanding.
Second, they were frequently guided by Mugetsu's main body, benefiting from the skill bonus he imparted, then further boosted by his Enlightenment skill.
Even with all those advantages, Kakashi and the others did not have an easy path. They often broke through only when their potential was forced out during life and death crises.
If ordinary people tried to cultivate Rock Breathing or Thunder Breathing, most would be stuck at the beginner stage. Reaching the Constant State would take an enormous amount of time.
Even if they reached the Constant State, Breathing Technique Chakra Mode would remain unattainable for the vast majority.
As for the Transparent World, that was even more impossible.
Mugetsu could not guarantee that every one of his current disciples would awaken it.
To awaken the Transparent World, you needed one of two things.
Either you had strong talent like Kakashi and a chance to awaken it when your potential burst out in desperation.
Or you trained your breathing technique to the Perfect level, which guaranteed awakening the Transparent World.
Both requirements were extremely difficult. Neither was something you could simply demand through willpower.
If people could not even learn it, then Mugetsu's teaching would be meaningless.
His goal was popularization, not selecting only elites.
So for ordinary students, Mugetsu leaned toward developing simpler breathing techniques, techniques that more people could actually cultivate.
Darkness Breathing was developed from Thunder Breathing, focusing on explosive bursts.
This time, to differentiate the new technique, Mugetsu chose Rock Breathing as the blueprint.
As a branch derived from Rock Breathing, the new breathing technique would primarily strengthen physical fitness.
Mugetsu's current idea was to split it further into two minor directions.
One would focus on strengthening power, using Rankyaku as a complementary taijutsu.
The other would focus on defense, using Tekkai as a complementary technique.
Since it was already a weakened breathing technique, trying to keep it balanced would only make it ineffective.
