Flower Breathing

The Flower Breathing (の) is a Breathing Style derived from the Water Breathing.

The Flower Breathing combat and breathing style mimics flowers and fruits, specifically the gracefulness and beauty of them, and replicates with the user's movements, techniques and swordsmanship. Most, if not all, known techniques and forms are a combination of graceful attacks named after flowers and fruits that optimize the users agility and flexibility with their weapon and body. This combat style also enhances and utilizes one's vision, albeit at the possible cost of their eyesight. When used properly, the user visualizes purple, pink and white patterns resembling the petals of beautiful flowers and fruits emanating from their weapon or parts of their body.

Techniques

 * Second Form: Honorable Shadow Plum (ノ) - A defensive technique that deflects attacks using rotating sword slashes.
 * Fourth Form: Crimson Hanagoromo (ノ) - A single sword slash that curves and twists.
 * Fifth Form: Peonies of Futility (ノ の) - A graceful flurry of nine consecutive attacks that flow and weave in on themselves.
 * Sixth Form: Whirling Peach (ノ) - A technique used after or during evasion, the user spins around moving with their body weight to deliver an attack.
 * Final Form: Equinoctial Vermilion Eye (ノ) - A focusing technique that raises the users kinetic vision to its maximum, while using this technique the user perceives the world as if it were in slow motion. Usage of the technique, however, is highly dangerous, as the tremendous strain on the eyes could cause blood vessels to rupture and lead to partial or complete blindness. This technique is still usable even if the user only has one fully functional eye.
