Wood Breathing

The Wood Breathing (木材 (もくざい) の呼 (こ) 吸 (きゅう) , Mokuzai no kokyū^?) is an extremely powerful Breathing Style derived from all the main Breathing Styles other than the Moon Breathing. This Breathing Style can only be achieved when the user harmonizes with the environment around them and synchronizes their breathing with the flow of nature. This Breathing Style is in fact a reincarnation of the Sun Breathing.
