Thunder Breathing

**Thunder Breathing** (雷の呼吸 *Kaminari no kokyū*) is one of the five main Breathing Styles directly derived from Sun Breathing.

## Description

Thunder Breathing is a Breathing Style that mimics lightning, specifically swift strikes and movements akin to lightning ripping through the sky, and replicates it with the user's movements, techniques and abilities. Most, if not all, known techniques and forms involve utilizing blinding speeds to close in and use swift and insanely fast movements to overwhelm the enemy in an instant. Users that have mastered Thunder Breathing visualize themselves seemingly creating and manipulating lightning when unleashing its techniques.
