Uzushiogakure

Zoro / Yoriichi P.O.V

After we left the Uzumaki compound , I saw the the village of Uzushiogakure in all it's glory.

The village is composed of several tall buildings that have a more industrial appearance compared to its previous incarnation. A wide river runs through the village, parcellated in many places by large bridges. The surrounding countryside is dominated by steep hills that stretch for as far as one's eye can see. In these hills , Various temples and shrines can be found which house monks and spiritual practitioners who focus on finding inner peace and the inner self.

A large portion of the village is carved out of the highest mountain in the land, although its size ensures that it extends outward into the flatlands that surround it as well. The Uzumaki patriarch compound lies here.

There is a grand waterfall that rushes forth from the peak of Uzushiogakure, feeding the flowing river that travels throughout the village. Various bridges span the river to connect different landings throughout the mountainous village together. This creates a natural separation of sections consisting of various building structures, natural hot springs, and lively trees.

There is also a network of underground caverns carved out by Uzushio citizens to be used by the village's security forces. These underground passageways house the core of the village's defensive barriers and seals.

There is one main entrance that non-villagers are directed to and escorted through, consisting of grand stairs that lead from the village's harbor to a large gate. Other than that there are three other entrance gates, used daily by villagers for access to specific parts of the island. Various watchtowers and posts are organized along the path and along the lower limit of Uzushiogakure in order to gain better vantages for defense around the village. Usually the village's multiple forces are all on active watch simultaneously; members of each operating in shifts in order to maintain the security around the clock.

After enjoying the view , we move to a rather large Village Square which is lined with shops that provide various goods and products. Within the Village Square there are buildings that are used for socializing and relaxing, as well as a wonderful lush park and various stands and stalls where food vendors sell food and snacks. Aside from the buildings, the Village Square is a place for people to socialize with one another, relax, and enjoy beautiful scenery which incorporates the river that runs throughout the village and a park. The village square is densely populated with lush trees. Along the east side of the village are the standard domiciles. The homes were carved from the mountainside, expertly designed to provide roomy homes for every villager while resisting damage and deterioration.

The houses are spaced out evenly and are based on a standard for required comfortable living space.

This village is more developed and beautiful than most of the cities in my previous world and considering it has not more than 11 years since it was formed ,it's really beautiful. It might be the most developed village even if we time skip to canon.

After enjoying the walk with my family and after eating my dangos I asked father can we go to the tallest mountain .

He said worriedly " It won't be easy for you to breath at such a high altitude . We can go to a smaller mountain. "

" No let's go the tallest mountain, it will have the best scenery besides If I have to become a good shinobi some shortage of breath can't stop me "

I wanted to go tallest mountain because of its lack of oxygen since it's the best spot to learn total concentration breathing.

It's the first step before I start doing my awesome looking sword techniques .

So according to my knowledge total concentration breathing is a breathing art in which the user takes in an enormous amount of oxygen that they then focus to various parts of their body to increase physical and mental abilities (I.e.. Speed, Flexibility (to an extent), Mental fortitude, Strength, Reaction time, Thought process, etc.) allowing for quicker planning skills and faster and stronger execution of those plans.

This form greatly resembles my previous-life breathing art called Box breathing, which I learnt during my boxing lessons. It should not be that hard.

I take that back it's very hard .

I can't breath

I am getting dizzy

No You should hold yourself , shortage of breath can't stop you Yoriichi

Let's follow the steps to perform total concentration breathing

The way to perform Total Concentration breathing is to inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds, and hold for 4 seconds and repeat.

While my parents were looking at me worriedly, I assured them with a nod that I was okay.

I inhaled large amount of oxygen for 4 seconds, Held in my breath for another 4 seconds

I Exhaled and held my breath again for 4 second each and then I repeated it 40 times before I was somewhat able to do it without much concentration.

' Yes I did it My path to the strongest has now BEGUNNN ' and with that I fell unconscious because of lack of breath.

Author Notes...

I know there was a lot of info dump about the village but I have to do it because the MC is going to stay here and help strengthen the village . So some knowledge about the village was necessary. We will go to combat soon I know all of you want to read some combat and all but bare in mind that MC is just 3 years old and he is grandson of the patriarch so he doesn't have anyone to fight with
