Paint Breathing

The **Paint Breathing** (の, *Peinto no kokyū*?) is a Breathing Style derived from the Water Breathing, which itself is derived from the Sun Breathing. Some of the techniques of this Breathing Style are mimics of the forms from it's primarily derived breathing, **Water Breathing**.

## Techniques

1. **First Form: Black Lotus** (ブラックロータス *Ichi no kata: Burakkurōtasu*) - The swordsman goes to a sheathe stance (similar to Zenitsu's Thunder Clap and Flash) with their sword in their sheath and immediately unleashes their sword diagonally creating a ***black*** paint slash in front of them. The move can be powerful enough to shock and paralyze the enemy for a small moment.
2. **Second Form: Holy Cross** (ホーリークロス  *Ni no kata: Hōrīkurosu*) - The swordsman goes into a sheath stance and creates one diagonal ***white*** slash, then twist their body to create an additional slash to create an "X" shape.
3. **Third Form: Final Sketch** (初稿 *San no kata: Shokō*) - The swordsman goes into a sheathe stance and swiftly draws a ***white*** cruciform cut in the blink of an eye. It’s so fast that only those with immense speed can perfect this technique.
4. **Fourth Form: Resin Douse** (レジンドゥーズ *Shi no kata: Rejindo~ūzu*) - The swordsman raises their katana horizontally and hurriedly thrusts using the tip of their blade as the contact. Regardless of whether the hit misses or not, a small ***black*** ink explosion occurs wherever the swordsman is aiming for usually around the neck destroying everything from the upper torso to the jaw. (Similar to Ripple Thrust from Water Breathing)
5. **Fifth Form: Acrylic Stroke** (アクリル *Go no kata: Nōsotchū*) - The swordsman performs a high-speed cut from a sheathed stance. The swordsman goes into a crouch stance with their side facing the enemy, turns their body in a 270º horizontal motion, and delivers a fast ***white*** downward paint slash.
6. **Sixth Form: Vibrant Art** (画像を操作する *Roku no kata: Gazō o sōsa suru*) - The user changes their moves to confuse the opponents while leaving a trace of ***black*** paint behind them. Once completed the image they drew with the paint comes to life and can be controlled by the user. Note: This move can be combined with other attacks.
7. **Seventh Form: Aesthetic Lotus** (判定 *Shichi no kata: Kiru*) - Similar to the **First Form: Black Lotus**, but the swordsman slashes so quickly that they only appear to unsheathe and resheathe the katana. This move travels and homes in, creating **a rainbow of colors** slashes all around the enemy. This form is a range technique that can reach anywhere. This move depends on how far you can see making it unable to work if you're blind or have your eyes closed.
8. **Eighth Form: Scarlet Spiral** (レッドペイント *Hachi no kata: Reddopeinto*) - The swordsman spins his sword in a circular motion, blocking the opponent's attacks or slicing them with many deep cuts. The move appears to be ***red*** paint, unlike the rest of his forms which consist of **white** but mostly **black** paint.
9. **Ninth Form:** **Flowing Brush** (流れる *Ku no kata: Burashisutorōku*) - A devastating, powerful singular technique. The swordsman unleashes a continuous fast and powerful sword attack that appears to be the same as writing on paper with a ***black*** ink paintbrush. This skill can decapitate multiple enemies at once or cut one into multiple pieces. It is possible that this technique is the junior/lesser version of the Water Breathing, Tenth Form: Constant Flux.
10. **Tenth Form: Inc Flood** (インクの波 *Jū no kata: Inku no nami*) - The swordsman holds his katana in a reverse grip with the blade pointing down and slams it into the ground, creating big waves of ***black*** liquid all around them that can be used as an evasive against large hordes of enemies or to push them away, distancing them from you.
11. **Eleventh Form: Divine Imagery** (フェイクアート *Jū ichi no kata: Feikuāto*) - This move can be considered as an evasive skill similar to Sun Breathing: Parhelion Rainbow. The swordsman can create an afterimage of themselves like a clone and turns into a ***black*** puddle when taking damage allowing the real one to appear elsewhere. This move can be considered to be an Esoteric Art as it can be learned through anyone in the Daburu family only.
12. **Twelfth Form: Crimson Dye** (ソーラーブラシ *Jū Ni no kata: Taiyō-gatana*) - This move can only be done by Kashimoto by enveloping his katana with his black demon blood that consists of hydrocarbon elements while engulfing the blade on fire, lighting his sword on fire. This allows him to unlock and use **Hinokami Kagura: Dancing Flash** for the first time while enhancing the power of all his forms turning the ***black*** paint to ***crimson red*** and the ***white*** paint to ***yellow-orange***.
13. **Thirteenth Form: Varnish End** (安らかに眠る *Jū San no kata: Wanisuendo*) - Kashimoto
14. **Fourteenth Form: Tinted Calamity** (陰陽 *Jū Shi no kata: Onmyō*) - Kashimoto
15. **Fifteenth Form: Yang Yin** (残忍な死 *Jū Go no kata: Saigai*) - This can only be performed if the swordsman reached a certain mentality of the understanding of life and death *(or yin & yang)*. Another additional requirement that requires the swordsman time to prepare to be still which would take the maximum estimate of 2 minutes or the minimum of 3 seconds. The swordsman goes into a sheathe stance, focusing their energy, strength, and mind on the attack. Then unleashes a big slash of ***white*** paint diagonally that travels far followed by another slash of ***black*** paint diagonally the opposite way that travels the same ditance as the first one. This move devastates anything in their path creating a huge shockwave from the explosion, often sending the user backward if not used properly or with too much intent.
