Flame Breathing

Flame Breathing (の) is one of the five main Breathing Styles directly derived from Sun Breathing.

Description
Flame Breathing is a Breathing Style that mimics flames and replicates it with the user's movements, techniques and abilities. Most, if not all, known techniques and forms involve extremely powerful singular strikes who burn their opponents, initiated from a high stance. Users of Flame Breathing also visualize themselves seemingly creating and manipulating fire when unleashing its techniques.

This Breathing Style was created from one of Yoriichi Tsugikuni's students who attempted to learn Sun Breathing, but due to not being as innately powerful as Yoriichi, they were instead taught an alternated personalized Breathing Style that focused on their individual strengths and weaknesses, which eventually evolved into Flame Breathing.

Known Techniques
Flame Breathing has 9 techniques in total, with sixth known forms and an esoteric art, Ninth Form: Rengoku being exclusive to the Rengoku family.


 * First Form: Unknowing Fire (ノ) - The user charges towards their opponent at high speed and decapitates them in one slash from behind.


 * Second Form: Rising Scorching Sun (ノ　り) - The user releases an arching slash attack upwards.


 * Third Form: Blazing Universe (ノ) - The user swings their blade downwards in an arc.


 * Fourth Form: Blooming Flame Undulation (ノ　のうねり) - The user swings their blade in a circular motion that can defend them from all incoming attacks or decapitate multiple enemies at once.


 * Fifth Form: Flame Tiger (ノ) - The user performs a series of powerful sword slashes that seemingly takes the form of a flaming tiger.


 * Ninth Form: Rengoku (ノ) - A devastating dashing slash that the user initiates from a high stance, the technique had enough power to carve a deep impression that burnt the ground where it was unleashed.
