Peony Breathing

**Peony Breathing** is created by Hanae Hanano.

Peony Breathing (牡丹の呼吸 *Botan no kokyū?*) is a Breathing Style derived from the Flower Breathing, which was derived from Water Breathing. Peony Breathing is a Breathing Style that mimics peonies, and flower breathing style movements. This breathing is very flow, which you don’t have to pull a lot of strength while using this breathing, but you need a lot of strength while facing the uppermoons.

This Breathing Style was accidently created by Kanae Kocho's tsuguko, Hanae Hanano, and was now Hanae’s personal creation. It once has only 7 forms but was now 11 forms. Hanae’s sword was designed very light, so it’s very useful for this breathing because it has to be used flow.

* **Sixth Form: Peony Petals Teleport** (陸ノ型 牡丹の花びらテレポート) Hanae can move quickly around which the target cannot move their eyes, weapons or arms fast enough to catch her.
* **Seventh Form: Whirling Peonies**(漆ノ型 渦牡丹) A maneuver that consists of using a spin to dodge an attack and then using the spin's momentum to immediately and seamlessly transition from dodging into slashing at one's opponent.
* **Eighth Form: Peony Petal Rain** (捌ノ型 牡丹の花びらの雨) Hanae jumps into the air and smashes 50 times using her sword onto the ground, and mimic peonies flower petals cut through the target’s skin and sometimes (if hard enough) can cut through arms and legs.
* **Ninth Form: Dancing Peony Flowers** (玖ノ型 牡丹の花を踊る) Hanae jumps flowy and uses her sword to cut through the target’s any body parts, 8 times with out the target to catch her. An alternation of **Peony Breathing Sixth Form: Peony Petals Teleport,** but much stronger.
* **Tenth Form: Peony Obliteration** (拾ノ型 牡丹の抹消) Hanae stand still as a large glowing peony shaped flower down below her feet, formed a large space, and inside the void Hanae uses her sword and attack the target without he or she running away. **An alternation of Peony Breathing Ninth Form: Dancing Peony Flowers,** but can slashes up to 100 times if Hanae were fast enough to do it for 10 seconds.
* **Final Form: Equinoctial Vermilion Eye** (終ノ型 彼岸朱眼) A focusing technique that raises the user's 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. The skill is the same as **Flower Breathing Final Form.**
