The gap between Sakura and Mizuki is all-round. The same moves display very different power, just like Mizuki's chakra shield defense is much stronger than Sakura's.

"I'm not asking you to imitate my method completely, but I'm letting you see the effect of this kind of refined manipulation. You can give it a try yourself. Whether you succeed or not is up to you."

There are even more bizarre and mysterious ways of using it, but they are too far away for now.

Because of the convenience of chakra, this fighting style that combines the styles of Muay Thai and Judo is possible. Mizuki feels that it is very suitable for a ninja who mainly fights in medium and long ranges and supplemented by close combat with physical skills.

The level of Genin and Chunin is already good enough. If you want to go further, you need not only hard training but also something else.

Sakura, who has been a ninja for less than a year, is already stronger than many senior ninjas, but so what? No matter how strong she is, there is a limit to her strength.

Hyuga Neji and Uchiha Sasuke are the most promising among the Genin. When people mention the two, they will only say words like "unlimited potential and a bright future". As for how strong they are now, that is only compared with the Genin. Even some Chunin may be defeated by them, but in the world of ninjas, that's all.

"Master seems to value the control of chakra, but doesn't care much about some ninjutsu!" Sakura took a breath and stood up, patted the dirt on her body, and then asked Mizuki her doubts, "Does the master look down on those ninjutsu?"

Sakura was well aware of Mizuki's teaching methods. She was not enthusiastic about those unpredictable and powerful ninjutsu, which made her think Mizuki had more powerful ninjutsu.

However, during this period of teaching, Sakura realized that she was wrong. Mizuki only taught some common knowledge and ninjutsu and didn't pay much attention to it after that, as if he assumed that Sakura could master it smoothly.

Sakura didn't feel bad about being trusted like this, she just felt a little regretful.

It's just like the Chidori and Rasengan techniques mastered by Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto. Mizuki never taught them. Chidori is fine, but Sakura has heard from Naruto about Rasengan that this young master is not incapable of it, and is quite skilled at it. However, he never mentioned teaching Sakura. Judging from his attitude, it seems that he really is not optimistic about the development of Rasengan.

In response to Sakura's question, Mizuki smiled and said, "I'm going to explain it in too much detail now, so you may not understand it, but one thing I can tell you is that for a ninja who has reached a certain level, there are only three things that restrict his development: chakra, imagination, and time."

The meaning of Mizuki's words seemed to be quite different from the focus of ordinary ninjas, which made Sakura difficult to accept for a while: "Chakra amount and time are not incomprehensible, why is imagination so important?"

Mizuki did not directly answer Sakura's question, but asked: "What do you think is the most important thing I have given you so far? Not limited to ninjutsu, sealing techniques, barriers, ninjutsu, or even what you think is the spiritual will and thinking method, tell me your answer..."

"Eh?" Mizuki, who didn't play by the rules, made Haruno Sakura fall into deep thought with just one question. After thinking for a while, Sakura raised her head and asked tentatively, "Is it the Breath Containment Technique?"

"The Breath Containment Technique? I'm not surprised you think so. I've been stressing the importance of chakra and its control!" Mizuki didn't comment on Sakura's answer, but mentioned something else. "The Breath Containment Technique increases the amount of chakra that can be controlled. This is not unique. Your former candidate for a master, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, has a similar technique - the Yin Seal, and the Hundred Healings Technique used in conjunction with it."

"Yin seal? Is it also a sealing technique?"

Mizuki replied: "Although the principles of Yin Seal and Breathing Technique are somewhat different, their actual effects are similar, and the difficulty of learning is generally similar. Breathing Technique tests the micro-manipulation of chakra more, while Yin Seal requires extremely high medical ninjutsu level to learn."

"Medical ninjutsu?" Sakura seemed to understand something. It seemed that her original choice had directly affected her development direction. "But, doesn't this just show how precious this jutsu is? Without the Breath Containment Jutsu, I wouldn't even be able to pass the second round of the Chunin Exam, let alone win the third round. And now, without the Breath Containment Jutsu, how can I have so much chakra for practice? For me, this jutsu should be a destiny-changing jutsu..."

"Change your destiny?" Shuimu couldn't help laughing. "It's too early to talk about 'destiny' at such a young age!"

The last person, Hyuga Neji, who always talked about fate and destiny, has been taught a good lesson by Uzumaki Naruto.

"The Breath Containment Technique gives you more possibilities, but it is your own choice as to which path you choose. What ultimately matters is your knowledge and character. This technique only makes things more convenient for you. Without it, if you spend more energy, you can still accomplish many things. You just need to overcome more hardships to achieve your goals."

"Is that so?" Sakura nodded, not quite understanding, and then asked, "What does this have to do with imagination?"

"What do you think chakra is?"

"Chakra? Isn't it a kind of energy extracted from the spirit and cells that can be used in ninjutsu?"

"This is just the explanation in the book..." Shuimu shook his head and said, "Everyone has a different understanding of the same thing!"

"So what does Master think Chakra is?"

"A miracle that turns imagination into reality!"

"Imagination? Reality? Miracle?" Sakura said in disbelief, "What the master said is too bizarre. Is chakra really that magical?"

Shuimu smiled and didn't explain any further: "You will know later, it is far more magical than you can imagine!"

…

Mizuki, standing there, looked at Sakura who was gradually going away, turned around and waved, then ran away, probably going to find Sasuke again.

Then, a man with the same face as Mizuki walked out from behind a tree not far away.

"So you just gave her that technique?"

"Well, I've already told her that this technique is very valuable!"

"But you didn't tell her that this technique is very dangerous and can be used on oneself. Your words will never let her realize how important the technique she has obtained is."

"How important is it? Before it fully exerts its power, it is just a very useful illusion!"
