Techniques

 * 1) First Form: Low Clouds, Distant Haze (ノ) - The swordsman unleashes a powerful thrust attack in front of them.
 * 2) Second Form: Eight-Layered Mist (ノ) - The swordsman unleashes eight slashes, one on top of the other in quick succession.
 * 3) Third Form: Scattering Mist Splash (ノ の) - The swordsman releases a powerful circular slash that blows away projectile attacks.
 * 4) Fourth Form: Shifting Flow Slash (ノ り) - The swordsman quickly unsheathes their blade and strikes their enemy, reminiscent of an Iaidō technique.
 * 5) Fifth Form: Sea of Clouds and Haze (ノ の) - The swordsman dashes forward at high speed and unleashes a flurry of slashes that covers a wide area.
 * 6) Sixth Form: Lunar Dispersing Mist (ノ の) - The swordsman leaps high in the air upside down and sends a series of countless ranged slashes downwards, capable of decimating a wide area.
 * 7) Seventh Form: Obscuring Clouds (ノ) - Possibly the Mist Breathing 's most powerful technique and the personal creation of Muichiro Tokito. A technique in which Muichiro drastically changes the tempo of his movement to disorient an enemy, this technique takes the form of clouds of mist enveloping a wide area. When he shows himself, his speed will appear to be extremely slow but when he hides, he moves in the blink of an eye. This technique was able to utterly confuse and distort the senses of Upper Rank 5, Gyokko, which led to his defeat.
