Shunkan no Hagane
Flash flood of flying steel

___Description:
The Shunkan no Hagane style uses blades of all sizes to mold the flow of battle to the user’s will. This style is a modern adaptation of traditional weaponry practices, taking the facets from the traditional styles themselves and applying them to more recent situations. As such many of the moves can be executed with a variety of bladed weapons. The techniques can also be used with blunted and training versions of bladed weapons, but the techniques in the style lose the majority of their piercing and slicing power.

The Instant of Steel style originated in a peninsula to the northeast of the Water Country and drifted slowly toward the Western lands and their Hidden Villages. Many of the practitioners gained fame through formal sparring tournaments, and as such the name of the style has yet to gain the fame that some others have; only those who actively watch or participate frequently in contests know of the practitioners and their abilities. Unfortunately, the style is hard to adapt in earlier stages for use in sudden battles, and is mostly used in duels. However, it is incredibly useful in almost any battle once higher levels are mastered, as the basic techniques become much stronger and faster.

___Notes:
• “Finesse” refers to the ability to execute movements without excess damage, as in fine-point striking.

In addition, this technique has great cutting power against soft weapons such as arms, legs, and anything made out of wood or bamboo.
• Basic Block.

○ Defense of Steel
Simple :: A-Rank
A powerful defensive technique that is capable of nullifying elemental Ninjutsu up to C-Rank. By performing any appropriate block while Shearing is active, the user can slice through an incoming attack without his or her blade ever touching it.

• All techniques prior to this Stage learned.

○ Movement of Steel
Simple :: S-Rank
An unbelievably quick movement technique that has a speed that totally eclipses that of the Body Flicker Technique, with the same range. However, it is difficult to control and can only be used in one direction at a time. This technique creates an after-image where the user had been standing.

This means that a Genin using this technique would only have a range of 5 meters, but that a Kage would be able to hit something 18 meters away.
• All techniques prior to this Stage learned.

○ Instant of Steel
Complex :: S-Rank
A change to the physical state that doubles the speed of all blade techniques and halves the user’s reaction time. This state lasts for ten posts.

Trick Technique: Kneecap Surprise
Simple :: Rank D
The user will begin by performing a simple combination of horizontal slashes, often ending in [ Change of Hands. ] At any point during this chain of cuts, the user will steady their movement, and rather than continue with their previous slashes, flip and toss the knife into the opponent's leg.

Disrupting Technique: Severe Acupuncture
Complex :: Rank A

From here, the user will attempt to deliver a powerful hilt slam to one of the target's limbs. If contact is made with an arm or leg, it will cause said limb to go limp. However, if contact is made with the head, it will send a powerful surge throughout the body that renders the target immobile for some time. (2 - 4 posts)

Offensive Style: Stepless

Simple :: Rank A

The user will perform horizontal chops inward on the enemy, the two blows together resulting in a good amount of external damage, in addition to stun.

Disrupting Technique: False Signals
Complex :: Rank S
The user channels chakra into their knife causing it blur out just as in [ Severe Acupuncture, ] before attempting to stab deep into the target's upper torso. As the knife digs into the enemy's chest, the chakra stored within it leaks throughout, tampering with pathways both physical and spiritual. So long as the knife remains in the enemy, all signals sent to the body are disrupted and sent to different places- a command to move the legs may result in a twitch of the nose, a request to clutch the fist could result in straight kick, and a jump could be the usage of an elemental technique, who knows? Even after the knife has been removed, the disruption still has some effect. ( 1 - 3 posts. )

Defensive Style: Plucking Roses
Practice :: Rank S
The practitioner is so well developed in their art that they are now able to snatch shuriken, kunai, senbon, and other such projectiles straight from the air.

Silent, swift, and sharp. The practitioner is able to creep about at a decent pace while making close to zero noise.

Shigure Souen
A legacy of greatness and evolution.

___D e s c r i p t i o n:
This technique originated with one man, and like a family tree, it grew. As the technique was passed down, the more the tree grew. It is common for a generation to add a new form to the Shigure Souen. This is a sword style that varies, depending on who your master was. Thus, there could be many different variations of the Shigure Souen Style.

The Shigure Souen Style is a notoriously deadly sword style that is only passed down to worthy successors. Each 'form' of the style is only shown once to the student - if the student is worthy to succeed, he only needs to see it once to remember how to use it from then on. It originally only had one form that was passed down through generations of successors with each successor creating and adding their own forms resulting in many branches of Shigure Souen Style. However, as new forms were created, the weaker branches deteriorate, and others disappear as there is no worthy successor; hence, this style can be called the perfect, flawless style.

___N o t e s:
• This style contains various techniques branded with the type "Training." When these techniques are learned, they become passive benefits for the practitioner.
• "Training" techniques are learned as if Complex techniques of the same rank.

Hakyoku-ken no Kata
Destruction reaped in a single sweep

___D e s c r i p t i o n:
Hakyoku-ken no Kata, or Style of the Catastrophe Blade, is an extremely powerful and wide style of swordsmanship not often practiced by shinobi. Because it was traditionally used by feudal soldiers, the use of the style by shinobi was truly unheard of. However, as time progressed, the usefulness of this art was remembered, and the workings of Hakyoku-Ken no Kata have been reconfigured to better suit the lighter framed warriors of this era.
Designated as one of the most rigorous and difficult to master Bukijutsu in the world; those of the Hakyoku-Ken no Kata are rare. Finding a shinobi able to make use of such a style are ever more scarce. The reason for this is because of the basis of the style- Massive, unorthodox, and heavy weapons.

___N o t e s:

Saidai Shinpuku [ Upwards Swing ]

Hiki [ Saw ]
Simple :: Rank C
The practitioner takes their weapon into a single hand, rising the opposite arm to rest the majority of the weight. The user then performs a swift sidestep and attempts to hack at their opponent with a single hard rising vertical strike.

Hayai Ugoki [ Swift Movement ]
Complex :: Rank B

Tetsu no Ryu
The heart and steel of a true samurai

___Description:
Meaning "Iron Dragon," Tetsu no Ryu is an ancient form of swordsmanship closely tied with Feudal warplay.
Born from the Land of Iron are the feared samurai who live there; training countless days and nights to develop a form of swordplay that mirrored their own ferocity. This style has it roots deepened in tradition, discipline, and hard work. It is geared for war, not stealth, and its vast amount of straightforward attacks are self-evident of this. Many of its techniques shine during duels, though they can be applicable most anywhere. Those who practice Tetsu no Ryu are bound to follow the code of Bushido.
The virtues of a Bushi are: Rectitude (義, gi) ○ Courage (勇, yuu) ○ Benevolence (仁, jin) ○ Respect (礼, rei) ○ Honesty (誠, makoto) ○ Honor (誉, yo) ○ Loyalty (忠, chuu)

___Notes:
• Students of this style are honor bound to follow the tenets of Bushido ( listed above. )
• If a student of this style breaks the tenets of Bushido while actively utilizing this style, their attacks will lack conviction.
( Every attack hits as if it were one rank lower, and complex attacks consume [25] additional chakra. This does not count against your other styles/abilities. )
• Each stage learned grants a slight increase to Reflexes, and Agility


___S t a g e O n e [1]
Iaidō
Simple :: Rank E
With a single unhindered and swift motion, a true samurai can unsheathe his weapon and strike at the exact same time. This can provide an elegant, yet effective way to catch your opponent off guard, or as a means to interrupt handsigns. Note that this ability only shows true effectiveness upon the drawing of a weapon from its sheathe. Losing some of its element of surprise after being used once and then resheathed. ( This attack's rank mimics whatever stage of Tetsu no Ryu you are in. For example, if you are in Stage 5, this technique is considered rank A. )

A Decade of Peace
Simple :: Rank E
A Decade of Peace is at its core a defensive technique, envisioned in the mind that a true master of the sword need not use his prowess to find peace. This technique allows the user to find, through concentration, the point of their enemy’s own attack, diverting it with a quick stab of their blade below their weapon or limbs, then utilizing the flat of the blade diverts the attack overhead, while their free palm presses against the opponents chest, shoving them away, before sheathing your own blade in the gap provided. This technique can be easily paired with a number of jutsu to escape battle, or as bait to enrage your opponent.

Ryūtsuisen [ Dragon Hammer Strike ]
Simple :: Rank E
The "Dragon Hammer" is a sword-drop technique delivered from above, targeting the crown of the head or the shoulder of the adversary. The key to the technique lays in the momentum gained from the user’s jump and the free-fall, which is applied to the sword to multiply the force of the sword-stroke.

___S t a g e T w o [2]
Ryūtsuisen: Zan [ Dragon Hammer Strike: Tragedy ]
Simple :: Rank D
A brutal variation of the origin, Zan utilizes a sword impalement or plant, rather than a cross body strike. While this vastly increases the lethality of the move on a general basis it does allow for non-lethal takedowns without using the blunt end of the weapon, as a skilled practitioner can target a specific limb or location to assault.

Turning Swallow Cut
Complex :: Rank D
Utilizing chaka to stimulate the nervous system, this cut is reputedly so quick and precise that it can strike down a bird in mid-flight. It is a downward strike the flicked back up into an upward strike, both strong enough to effortlessly slice through even the hardest wood.

Chakra Scabbard
Complex :: Rank D
After mastering two techniques, Iaido and any one other, a student is capable of awakening the true signature of the Tetsu no Ryu. A Samurai's blade becomes rife with pure chakra that crackles and dances around the blade. A blade properly focused is quite capable of cutting through even the thickest steel.
• Active until battle ends or turned off.
• Increases to Rank C after learning [ Form Manipulation. ]
• Increases to Rank B after learning [ Two As One. ]
• Chakra cost DOES increase as rank increases.

Twin Dragon Strike
Simple :: Rank D
Utilizing Iaido, the student of Tetsu no Ryu then follows up with a strike from his scabbard, utilizing the whole of his weapon, instead of just a single piece. This technique is generally utilized to catch an opponent unaware if they dodge the first stroke of the bladed weapon.

Twin Dragon Strike: Lightning
Simple :: Rank D
This technique does not rely on the utilization of Iaido, as it first strikes with the scabbard of the weapon, using the shock effect of being attacked with an improvised weapon, or the opening that follows an opponent’s dodge to follow the initial strike up with the actual bladed weapon.

___S t a g e T h r e e [3]
Form Manipulation
Complex :: Rank C
Truly skilled practitioners learn to shape the chakra around their weapon into different shapes. From a lance to a broadsword, anything is possible. However, while anything may be possible some forms will of course be difficult to maintain, requiring extra chakra expenditure. For every dimensional five feet after the first, the jutsu will require an extra ten [10] chakra.
• Lasts [10] posts

Pressure Wave
Complex :: Rank C
When swinging your weapon, you can create a crescent shaped chakra wave, five feet wide by one foot long, that can travel up to about 100ft before dissipating. A hit from it can be as strong or possibly even stronger than a normal blow. Unfortunately- it leaves your katana without a chakra scabbard and you must activate it again.
• Max distance: 100ft.
• Cannot be reused for a minimum of five [5] posts until Stage Three is mastered.
• Can be reused in three [3] posts at Stage Four.
• Can be reused in two [2] posts at Stage Five+.

Drying Pole

• Max distance: 8ft.

___S t a g e F o u r [4]
Hachiware [ Helmet Breaker ]
Complex :: Rank B
This overhead blow is designed to go THROUGH a person, horse, and armor, all in one blow, by utilizing one’s chakra to actively sharpen the blade of your weapon. However, this fine point chakra manipulation creates crevices in the blade of your weapon, effectively making it useless after the fact, as any parrying blow would cause the rigid workings of the blade to crack entirely.
• This technique breaks most normal weapons.
• This technique can be blocked by an equal level bukijutsu or broken by Kai.
• This technique can only ‘kill’ if the opponent is willing, otherwise it merely wounds/incapacitates if not blocked.

Two As One
Complex :: Rank B
You are actually able to make two blows at once. A normal sword blow and a chakra saber blow. This second blow is almost impossible to see coming, but can be blocked by a chakra force of the same rank as it disrupts the chakra scabbard’s free movement.

___S t a g e F i v e [5]
Many as One
Complex :: Rank A
A complex pattern of blows converge on the target. You may make five [5] blows with the chakra sabers and one with your real sword. All the attacks are real, and they can all pierce your opponent's sword if they are foolish enough to normally block you!

Divine Scabbard
Complex :: Rank A
In place of your chakra scabbard you are able to substitute pure chakra for whatever element you have an affinity for.
• Same notes as [ Chakra Scabbard. ]

___S t a g e S i x [6]
Kamikaze [ Divine Wind ]
Complex :: Rank S
By utilizing a Divine Scabbard as a base, the user prepares (2 posts) additional elemental chakra before performing a powerful stab. This combination of chakra and motion forces a powerful "beam" to be released from the sword. The immediate release of the beam causes a good amount of recoil to the user, often forcing them to a knee. The beam itself has impressive distance, often dispersed only out of sight, or when contact is made with an incredible chakra based defense. The impact of the beam is so devastating that it is often referred to simply as an "undeniable death sentence." Additionally, because the beam is formed of such specific combinations of chakra, it can easily pierce most anything, and prevents the usage of "escape" techniques (substitution and body flicker.)
• Does not receive learning reductions.
• Consumes one [ Divine Scabbard. ]
• Can only be used once per battle.
• Requires two [2] posts of preparation. ( Can move, but cannot be interrupted. )
• User receives crippling recoil without additional training.

Serene Absorption
Attribute
After mastering and being victim to one's own Kamikaze recoil, the practitioner will begin to develop a method to prevent such return damage. Manipulating their stance and force impact, the user attempts to divert such force by pressing and moving chakra into the ground. This is a rather difficult task to accomplish as it is not simply the act of moving chakra from one part of the body to another, but completely pressing it out of the body without having destructive results. Because of this odd requirement, it is recommended that multiple sessions be completed before one is considered having "mastered" this method.
• Does not receive learning reductions.
• Must use Kamikaze at least three [3] times before beginning this training.
• Requires two separate sessions of ten [10] posts to learn. ( At least two day's break between sessions. )
• Almost completely reduces recoil of [ Kamikaze. ]

Juurai Toorima
The blade hidden in the night

___Description:
Before the nations filled with shinobi, before the feudal lords reigned, before anyone knew what lurked in the shadows, there were ninja. Reliant on their stealth, skill, and their sword, these ninja knew not the exact workings of their vast chakra networks, but they knew very well how to complete their missions.
More than just assassins, the ninja of old committed acts of espionage, sabotage, and infiltration. They developed methods to break through or sneak passed obstacles or opponents in order to achieve their main goal. Nothing could stand in the way of a true ninja.
These methods were at one point in time chronicled so that future generations would be able to learn their techniques. Although dwindled by time, the list below shows what those passed ninja were capable of.

___Notes:
• Smoke pellets used blur chakra singularity, making the network difficult to follow.
• The smoke that comes from the smoke pellets is badly affected by the wind.
• The smoke that comes from the smoke pellets can be any color.

___S t a g e O n e [1]

Simple :: Rank D
One of the major staples of [ Juurai Toorima ].

Aseru [ To Fade ]
Complex :: Rank D
The user will bring a smoke pellet to each hand, twirl them to an easily thrown position, and then slam the two against the surface beneath them. As the smokescreen rises, they will perform a solid handsign, sending a quick surge of chakra throughout their body. In almost an instant, the user will escape any dangerous situation. To simplify, this is like a substitution jutsu that requires a smokescreen rather than an object to change positions with.
• Can only be used four [4] times per battle.

___S t a g e T h r e e [3]
Insen [ Hidden Line ]
Simple :: Rank C
The user will attach a very, very thing wire to a projectile or small object, and toss said projectile as if it were a normal tool. However, they will likely intentionally miss, most likely causing the opponent to scoff or laugh.

Juu Kousen no Hitojichi [ Hostage of Ten Steel Wires ]
Complex :: Rank C
The user will throw both of his hands forward; projecting a net of razor steel wires roughly the same width as the user’s body. The user will pump chakra into the wires in order to cause them to wrap around and tie those within the net’s reach. The wire is sharp enough to pierce deep into flesh, but not cut through bone.
• Max range 20 yards.

Takoage no Waza [ Art of Kite Flying ]
Complex :: Rank C
The user will draw a special piece of fabric from their person, placing it between their index and middle fingers. With an infusion of chakra, the fabric will grow in size, becoming the height and width of the original user. After doing so, the user will then grab onto each corner with his hands and feet, outstretching the cloth. Regardless of the user’s weight, this cloth can be used to glide over massive gaps and escape Earthy effects.

___S t a g e F o u r [4]

He will then follow up by tossing multiple smoke pellets at his opponent, in order to disorient them. After this, the user will seemingly disappear, abusing their physical potential to get behind their target. From this position, the user will draw his weapon, and attempt to deliver the final blow.

Gisou no Waza [ Art of Camouflage ]
Complex :: Rank B

Yogiri no Gufuu [ Tornado of the Night Fog ]
Simple :: Rank A
The user will release black smoke bombs to surround his position, blurring his starting point. He will then rotate wildly on a single foot, causing the black smokescreen to circle around him in a whirlwind pattern. While wrapped in the twisting smoke and wind, the user will attempt to ram a target, hitting them with their body and any weapons they may have protruding from them.
It should be noted that if the user has Fuuton [ Wind ] elemental chakra, this technique is [ Complex ] and the damage is increased a good amount.

Izumi Hanshoku Meimu [ Fountain Multiply Illusion ]
Complex :: Rank A
The user holds a single handsign, generating focus points all over his body. After doing so, the user is capable of emitting up to six projections of himself from these focus points at any given time. These images are capable of mimicking one non-offensive action from the user, such as dodging or jumping, making them appear to be much more physical than they are. It should also be noted that these images can phase through solid objects.

___S t a g e S i x [6]
Ken Ato Ken [ Blade After Blade ]
Complex :: Rank S
The user takes his weapon from its holster, holds it close to him, focuses his mind, and then performs a chain of long, yet linked slashes and stabs. In other words, this is a technique that causes the user to enter a free style combination mode, allowing him to execute perfectly connected attack after attack after attack. If an enemy somehow manages to consistently block the user's attacks, the match will typically then be determined by whoever runs out of stamina or makes the first mistake.

Mokuhi [ Keep Silent ]

Honshi Art
Death from afar

___Description:
For hundreds of years people have been using all sorts of weapons to gain the upper hand on their opponent, however, every generation one weapon seems to stick out like a sore thumb. At one point in history, the ability to attack an opponent from afar meant certain victory; the weapons that would perform this tasks would sometime later be known as projectiles.
It may seem simple, aim and toss, but the ability to use these methods while in combat, and with extreme precision is in fact extremely complicated.
These projectile weapons would eventually be utilized by shinobi, modified with their own special abilities and unique contribution of chakra, making them ever more deadly.

___Notes:
• Projectiles used must be of light or medium weight
• Each stage learned gives a slight increase to both Flexibility and Agility

___S t a g e O n e [1]
Dart
Simple :: Rank E
Although it seems somewhat idiotic, this technique can prove useful in a pinch. The user will take their projectile, hold it in a different position than normal, and let it loose as though it were thrown with normal focus and aim.

___S t a g e T w o [2]
Pair
Simple :: Rank D
The user will begin by placing two of their projectiles between their fingers, then wave their hand outward, releasing their grip on both; ultimately resulting in a trick shot with their normal focus and aim.

Three of a Kind
Simple :: Rank D
The user will begin by placing three of their projectiles between their fingers, they will then swing their arm outward, releasing their grip on the weaponry. The result is a triple shot with the user's normal focus and aim.

Twin Aces
Complex :: Rank D
The user will begin by placing two of their projectiles between their fingers, followed by a quick insertion of chakra to their hand. They will then wave out their hand, releasing their grip on both projectiles, resulting in a trick shot with their normal focus and aim, additionally, the injected chakra will wrap the flung projectiles, increasing their speed.

Calling Cord
Complex :: Rank D
Very similar to the shinobi method of puppet control, this technique is performed by attaching lines of chakra to up to five projectiles and then releasing and retracting them. However, unlike the puppet strings, these lines of chakra can be cut, and are not very maneuverable.

___S t a g e T h r e e [3]
Trick Full House
Complex :: Rank C
The user will begin by placing four of their projectiles between their fingers, and a single in their grip, they will follow by encrusting their hand with chakra, and then place it to their forehead as they gather focus. At the users discretion, the projectiles will be flung with increased focus and aim, upon impact with any surface, all five projectiles will erupt causing a yard diameter explosion and moderate damage.

Retracting Line
Complex :: Rank C
An addition to the technique [ Calling Cord ].
By forcing an additional surge of chakra into the strings wrapped around the projectiles, the user is able to briefly control the length, and movement of the strings. Thus, allowing for a much more diverse angle of attacking or retracting.

___S t a g e F o u r [4]
Manipulating Line
Complex :: Rank B
An addition to the technique [ Calling Cord ].
By laying a good amount of additional chakra into the strings wrapped around the projectiles, the user is able to fully control the length, direction, and movement of the strings. Thus, allowing for incredibly diverse attacks from all angles.

Hidden Stash
Complex :: Rank B
A special technique favored by shinobi who often use their weaponry in barrage formations. After bringing out a small scroll, the user will perform the needed handsigns, then press one hand against the open paper. The user's hand will seep through the paper as if it were water, then retract with the desired amount of projectiles. Because the user must continue to reach into the scroll, this technique is typically only used when they are completely out of ammunition.
Additionally- each scroll contains only 20 kunai, 25 shuriken, and 30 senbon.
• Can only activate one scroll per battle.
• Scroll only works one way (Can only draw projectiles from it, you cannot place more inside of it).

» Scroll Projection
Complex :: Rank D
A rather useful technique that can only be performed after releasing the effects of [ Hidden Stash].
The user will turn the scroll so that the draw point is facing their target, they will then press their palm against the back of the paper and surge chakra through their flattened hand. As the chakra moves through their hand, the user will cause the projectile contents of the scroll to fly out in the aimed direction.
• Obtained when [ Hidden Stash ] is learned.

___S t a g e F i v e [5]
Bent Arsenal
Simple :: Rank A
The user will begin by drawing the desired amount of projectiles into their hand. They will then skillfully toss each projectile, one-by-one, at their target. However, there is a twist... a literal one! Each projectile is flung in such a way that they will arch at a certain point, causing most shinobi to evade right into the projectile's path.

Secret Stash
Complex :: Rank A
This is nothing more than an addition to the technique [ Hidden Stash ].
Instead of only being able to use one scroll per battle, the practitioner can now use three.

___S t a g e S i x [6]
Explosive Arsenal
Complex :: Rank S
The user will begin by drawing a projectile into their hand, they will then inject it with a good amount of chakra. At the whim of the user, they will fling the weapon at an incredible speed- the projectile itself leaving an afterimage trail.
At any point during its travel, the user can snap, causing the enhanced projectile to explode. A five yard radial blast, dealing roughly the same damage as a [ B Rank ] fireball Ninjutsu.
• Rather than costing [160] chakra to perform, each projectile enhanced costs [30] chakra.

Akira Style
Hidden,Fan,Deadly

Description: The Akira Style is elegant, made for faster fighters than it is for strength.

○ The Second Akira: Complete
Description: From any ducking position, the user slides their fans together from chest level, once horizontal, and once more vertically. After the hit is confirmed, the user will snap both fans shut, letting loose a burst of null element chakra that deals moderate damage and pushes the target back roughly two yards.

Abilities: none
Graduation Requirements: Requires 15 Posts Of Training / Meditation In This State
Techniques:
○ The Third Akira: Flip
Description: From either a ducking position or bent back position, the user will slide back on their hands, performing a hand stand.

○ The Third Akira: Slip
Description: The user will bend their arms while standing on them (or one) and slowly slide to a held position on their forearm(s). From here, they will bend in their legs, and slip under or around an opponent. While sliding on the ground (on either back or stomach) the user can very easily slash with their fans

○ The Third Akira: Rise

Description: From a bent back, or almost completely ducking position, the user with lift themselves with either arm, quickly bringing up their opposite leg in an attempt to kick anyone in the immediate area. From this single hand stand position, the user will bend till their elbow makes contact with the ground, whence this has happened they will curl their legs into their stomach and press off with a mighty oomph- causing them to slide on the ground to their target. When the desired distance has been reached, the user will lift up with either leg and use the momentum built up by the slide to spin around, arms balleting in a circular fashion

○ Elegance
Description: The user expands a blanket of chakra in a 2 yard radius (12 foot diameter), allowing them to ‘sense’ when they are going to be hit by close quarters attacks and allows them to react accordingly. It is only because of their reflexes that this technique is so effective, giving the user the ability to bend or step to evade. This blanket of chakra does not actually expend any chakra, rather it sets aside the total used to be reclaimed when the blanket drops.

○ Projected Wall Flower
Description: In order to begin, the user must catch the eye of their opponent with sight or fan connection. The user seems to flicker from their position, while in reality is nothing more than an illusion. As the Genjutsu begins to fade, a vine of chakra will wrap around the opponent’s legs, rooting them in place.
This technique needs three posts to fully form. The first, the sight connection. The second, the illusionary flickering from place to place. And thirdly, the fading of the Genjutsu and the wrapping of the root. If during any step the opponent is dealt physical damage, the Genjutsu fades

Again, using only their wrists, the user will flip both fans upward, and throw one high overhead. They will then spin around, to catch the falling fan. During this spin, the user is both nimble and deadly, as they have full usage of the hand still bearing a fan

○ The Fourth Akira: Complete
Description: While spinning their fans atop their fingers, the user will quickly exchange the fans to opposite hands…after catching each fan, the user will flip both fans upward, making it appear as though there is only one fan.

○ Carousel of Death
Description: The user spins both open fans amongst a single arm, after increasing their stamina and stability via chakra infusion, creating a full spread pinwheel of blades- Due to the speed they are spun, it seems more like the user’s arm is simply enveloped in rotating saws.

○ Kiss of Death
Description: The user channels chakra into the tips of the blades of their fans, causing each point to glow a deep purple color. Though this effect does not last long, the rewards are immense…If the opponent is cut by these glowing edges, they will be inflicted with a viral poison that will slowly begin to eat away at their body. If it is not cleansed within 3 posts, the opponent will grow faint- if it is not cleansed within 6 posts, the opponent will faint- and finally, if the poison is not cleansed within 10 posts, the opponent will die a slow painful death

○ The Fifth Akira: Darting Moon
Requirements: Requires three additional posts to learn
Description: The user will take their open fans by the flat tip of the blade and fling them like a disc at an incredible speed. Because of the beautiful speed, the fans become more like rotating saw blades than anything else, able to cut through most organic materials, aside tempered metal and crystal. But, their power and speed is not their only benefit…because of the way these fans are tossed, they will return to the user even if they make full impact on the initial toss, operating more like a boomerang than anything else. However, if the user is not very well taught in this technique, it can result in their own hand removal…

○ The Fifth Akira: Complete
Description: The user begins by shifting one foot over the other, kneeling as they move forward bringing one open fan overhead, and the other in a lower swinging motion, mimicking the overhead. After the swing has come to a finish, they will perform a mirrored technique, on the opposite foot. With one arm and fan still high, the user will then throw that fan up, catching it as it comes back on its bladed edge. To finish, the user will fling the fan at incredible speeds, causing it to appear as if a solid razor ring- Because of the spin on the fan, the thing will return to the thrower even if it makes impact on the initial throw

○ The Sixth Akira: Duster
Description: After bouncing and catching their fan off of any surface, the user will perform three hasty spins, bending their leg straight up on the second spin. During these spins the user has complete motional control over their body (unless hindered) allowing them to move at normal speeds regardless of the terrain. Whence the third spin has come to a halt, the user will bend forward, slashing in a heavy downward motion capable of tearing massive sections of flesh clean off.

The user attempts to close the distance using these spins, and when they have come to the desired position, spring out their hands- fans open. The horizontal slashing motion that is caused by the combination of spinning and erect arms results in incredible flesh rending power- additionally, should the blades of the fan be poisoned, the afflicted will feel their effects slightly sooner. Upon completing this slashing gesture, the user will tap their foot on the ground, echoing a hollow sound as a thin aura of chakra spins around them. The user will reset their footing to a simple sturdy stance, and place their hands to their sides, fans closed…The aura that was moments ago present will be absorbed by the user, resulting in a great boost of ability…

Seven Sword Dance
Untouchable barrier of blades

___Description:
The seven sword dance is hailed as one of the most difficult styles to master, however it rewards those who serve it with unpredictable movements, unique angles of attack, and a means to an end (whatever that may be for the individual). The user places seven swords on his or her body and uses them to attack in a seemingly erratic pattern that more closely resembles juggling than swordplay. Integrated with savage short range unarmed strikes, the style can attack from several angles at once making it rather hard to effectively block a master.

The user holds one nunchaku by its end and injects chakra into it. With a light whip-lash style motion, he will let loose a spinning disc of pure chakra as if a large shuriken. However, the technique can also be adjusted by using elemental chakra, resulting in rings of fire or water, and so on.

___S t a g e F i v e [5]
Eight Point Bash
Simple :: Rank B
The user charges forward, nunchaku ends tucked between armpits. When the time seems right, the user will attempt to unleash a combination of eight directional strikes. One uppercut, one overhead strike, one strike from the left, one strike from the right, a second uppercut, one diagonal up from left to right, one diagonal up from right to left, and finally a hard forward jab. Each strike is typically aimed for the head, as thus, if the initial uppercut lands, the remaining seven strikes should follow fine. Additionally, the ending jab offsets most opponents.

Friction Motion
Simple :: Rank A
The user will continuously sling his nunchaku around himself, creating a 360º barrier, extremely effective seeing how the user may still remain moving. Any light or medium weight projectile that comes near the user during this period is deflected, if not simply shattered. When the user has finished his swinging, each nunchaku will seem to be giving off steam, and for a brief while, any successful attacks brought on by these enhanced nunchaku deal an additional D ranked amount of fire damage and can cause severe burns.
• Rotating preparation requires [3-5] posts.
• Burning effect lasts [6] posts.

Twisting Dragon
Simple :: Rank A
The user will begin by holding one nunchaku at its end, and the other as they see fit. They will proceed by attempting to close the distance, and when the time arises, swing out the loose gripped one in an attempt to wrap the foot or leg of their target. If successful, the user will quickly follow by bringing the blunt end of the opposite nunchaku into the opponent, and finish by spinning and throwing the opponent into the air. Because this attack is so swift, and essentially a grab, it can be used as a quite lethal mix-up technique.

___S t a g e S i x [6]
Dragon Fang
Simple :: Rank A
An anti-air technique developed to stunt enemies in their tracks. The user will hold both nunchaku folded and backwards, then stab at high speeds diagonally into the air. Roughly twenty strikes, each one with enough power to suspend a person in midair. The final strike is different however, as the user will jab one nunchaku hard into the target, let loose his grip on one bar, and slam the suspended into the ground.

Voluptuous Dragon Tongue
Simple :: Rank S
The user will begin by holding both nunchaku folded over between his armpits, he will then proceed by creating in opening in the opponent's defense in someway. When the time has come, the user will harness all of his arm strength, causing veins to strain and ungulate. He will then swing his nunchaku at incredible speeds, forming loops, linear strings, and hard jab free-style attacks; all while shifting his feet to circle the opponent. Because of its speed and power, the movements will also likely cause friction burns. After the technique has come to a close, the user will have minor arm strength left, resulting in his ability to only use specific techniques with a single nunchaku at a time.
• After usage, techniques are performed with one [1] nunchaku.
• After usage, techniques above Rank B cannot be used.

• Learned as if complex.
• Requires fuuton chakra for complexity.

Cripple
Rank: A : : Complex
Description: The user applies chakra in a unique manner, as they fire the arrow. Sacrificing its usual piercing capabilities, the chakra will form a blunt head of sorts.

Shatter Shot

Description: A third type of arrow the user is taught in the Kyoukan Ya skills. The user is taught the method to inserting what is similar to an exploding note into the core of the arrow's shaft, and how to cut it to fly true yet.

Doki Yari
That which falls like lightning.

___D e s c r i p t i o n:
The technique is often mistaken for use of simply spears, while some of its moves may favor simple spears, but many have made use of most kinds of light pole arms in terms of use. Devised to drive through anything standing in its way, Doki Yari often proves taxing and appears clumsy looking.
Doki Yari stands in the forefront of the shinobi world as one of the few spear techniques that have been conceived in its history. Originating from the Land of Valleys, it oddly was not established by the shinobi that make use of it today, but rather rogues waiting for that unfortunate passerby who would be buying their meal that night. Word got out, eventually, as the Valleys became more and more renowned, for people gone missing. That was when the Daimyo in the Land of Fire grew concerned, sending off some of the Leaf's elite. Scuffles ensued, and with each encounter, their shinobi learned of the strengths of the technique, and worked to adapt it, turning it against its original creators. It's origins were snuffed for the time being, and brought back to the shinobi world. A technique to pierce the very walls that stand in its users way.

___N o t e s:
• Pole arms used must be of medium weight or lighter.
• Awards a slight increase to strength for each stage learned.
• Awards a increase in weapon prowess for spear ( spear prowess increased)
