Bukijutsu Styles

[Mattysandwich]

▰▰▰ Bukijutsu:
Bukijutsu! The special usage of one's physical form in combination with all sorts of weapons!
Much like Taijutsu, Bukijutsu require hard work and dedication in order to master. They revolve around the manipulation of one's body along with their blade, and as a result of the combination, are known as some of the deadliest techniques amongst the world.

Below is a listing of Bukijutsu styles you are able to learn within Shinobi Revolution!
Just remember that your main and sub-class dictate how many Bukijutsu styles you are able to learn, so go check to see what that number is!

▰▰▰ Stages:
Unlike Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, Bukijutsu techniques are separated by [ Stages ].
Simply put: a Stage is a limitation placed on one or more techniques to prevent someone from learning high-end Bukijutsu before the lower ones.
Those who wish to learn a Bukijutsu Style start at the very first stage (stage one) and proceed by learning all techniques within that set stage.
After doing so, they are able to move up to the next stage, which- as one would think -contains stronger techniques to learn.

• Body-Rank learning restrictions apply to Bukijutsu as they do any other jutsu.

▰▰▰ Variations:
Bukijutsu techniques come in three variations: simple, complex, and spiritual.
This is the Bukijutsu and Taijutsu Equivalent of counterbalancing (相殺, Sōsai)
• Simple: Bukijutsu techniques that require Stamina to perform. Considered universally weaker than Complex and Spiritual techniques of the same rank.
• Simple Techniques are treated as [1-Rank] Weaker when against Complex Techniques.
• Simple Techniques are treated as [2-Rank] Weaker when against Spiritual or Ninjutsu Techniques.
• Complex: Bukijutsu techniques that require Stamina and Chakra.
• Complex Techniques are treated as [1-Rank] Stronger when against Simple Techniques.
• All Complex Techniques are treated as [1-Rank] Weaker in collisions with Spiritual Techniques]
• Spiritual: Bukijutsu techniques that require only Chakra to perform.
• Spiritual Techniques are treated as [1-Rank] Stronger when against Complex Techniques.
• Spiritual Techniques are treated as [2-Rank] Stronger when against Simple Techniques.
• All Ninjutsu is treated as [Spiritual] for the purpose of interactions.
•Stance Techniques in any style require no activation of resource cost to re-enter at the end of the user's offensive actions. Additionally, the user may enter any known applicable stance at the rank of or below the rank of the first stance's cost.

▰▰▰ Stats:
Stats are small bonuses given out by Taijutsu and Bukijutsu Styles to increase either strength, speed, agility, or endurance. For mastering the third stage of a style [1] stat point is granted and mastering the sixth stage offers another point for a total of [2] stat points that can be freely allocated to any stat(s) of your choosing. Techniques can also temporarily boost your stats according to their description (consult the temporary stat boosts section of the stat system). More information can be found here.

▰▰▰ Types:
Aside from Simple and Complex, some Styles have other types which have particular effects and learning guides. More commonly, these additional types will be explained in the style itself, however there are a few that may not:
• Practice techniques are learned as if Simple techniques of the same rank.
• Training techniques are learned as if Complex techniques of the same rank.
• Once a Practice or Training technique has been learned, it becomes a passive bonus for the practitioner.

Those who have mastered the style often emulate Otakemaru and Sojobo, the strongest of the Oni and Tengu. These swordsman, while not necessarily malicious in nature often are interpreted as such due to their skills.

▰▰▰ Notes:
• Genjutsu Class Ninja can add a single sense to the illusory images produced by this style, treating them as instance genjutsu.
• Hand-Signs for Genjutsu may be used with one hand upon completing stage six of the style.
• All techniques in this style have a duration of one post unless otherwise stated.
• The bukijutsu techniques of this style can be classified as instance genjutsu as well for Genjutsu Class Ninja. This means that only they can apply Insanity and Mental Stress through Phantom Slayer's designated mental status techniques.

Those with a smaller difference in the user's favor see nothing more than a blur.

Stage Three

▰ Dirty Reflection | Rank C | Training
With proper training and time put in, the user has learned how to angle their blade so that each attack reflects light at the opponent.

This technique is treated as complex when dealing with physical attacks.

▰ Shiva Assault | Rank B | Complex

The chakra being channeled causes each arm to project two after image like projections that slash at the opponent in addition to the two real arms. These arms are unable to deal damage but cannot be discerned from the real arms without use of a dojutsu, reducing the agility of those it interacts with by 2 points. For an D Ranked upkeep cost, these arms may be retained after the initial post.

Stage Six

▰▰▰ Description:
Kakumei no hono ryu. A sword art that has been passed in a rather nontraditional manner. Those who learn this style are required to memorize it's techniques and execute them after only witnessing them once, making sure only the sharpest of it's students proceed to the ranks of master. The style revolves around blending element and blade together, granting unparalleled ability to those who have learned how to use both well. The creator of the style, Ito Kambei had a strong affinity to flame, thus his flame based naming of his techniques. This does not stop those with opposite affinities from harnessing it's power. The original name of this style is lost to time, however, the man's affinity to fire and the rebellion he would lead to free his village from the tyranny of a local lord would have it's namesake become a timeless treasure, Flame of Revolution.

▰▰▰ Notes:
• Ninjutsu Class Shinobi treat complex techniques of this style that project an element beyond the blade as spiritual in strength for collisions.
• All elemental inflicted statuses apply to the user's element for techniques in this style if the user is Ninjutsu Class.
• When the Earth and Water Elements are utilized, they remain active on the field, unlike Fire, Wind, and Lightning which dissipate immediately.


▰▰▰ Style Creation Credits:

The size of the element projected expands five feet in size per rank of the technique. In addition, the user may conceal themselves behind this elemental attack and perform a basic combat thrust up to this technique's rank as a supplementary action.

▰ Imposing Flame [ Kyōretsuna Honō ]| Rank D | Complex
The user channels chakra into their blade as it is consumed in the elemental affinity of the user's chakra. The user slashes vertically, unleashing an expanding wave of chakra that carries the elemental affinity of the user that covers a ten foot area per body rank of the user and lingers in the air. This technique causes Tier 1 blindness until the concentrated chakra dissipates after two posts. In addition, each various element is given the following abilities with this technique.

Fire: Creates heat, igniting any flammable objects within it and causing tier one burning and burns.
Wind: Disrupts any scents within the range of the cloud, making tracking by it impossible causes tier one vertigo.
Lightning: Static shocks numb sense of touch while causing tier one paralysis.
Earth: Debris floats in the air, getting in the eyes of opponents within it, making sight painful, even for dojutsu users, causing tier 2 blindness.
Water: Creates a slippery surface within it's area. Physical movements require Suimen Hokou no Waza [ Act of Water Surface Walking ] to be used within it by people other than the user. Otherwise opponents suffer a 1 point decrease in speed and agility within the affected area.

▰ Flame Waltz [ Enbu ] | Rank X | Complex
The user perform a single slash of their weapon from any angle or direction. This chakra infused slash releases a powerful wave of elemental chakra that takes form of the element it carries it's affinity after being launched.For each rank of the technique, the element expands outward ten feet.

Alternatively, this technique may be made spiritual to forego its stat increases but doubles its range.

▰ Flame Breathing Pattern [ Kaen Kokyū Hōhō ] | Rank D | Training
The user is accustomed to the unique and various breaths that it takes to perform physical attacks as well as to channel chakra. This allows the user to passively detect when an offensive action is about to occur, giving them a [1] point increase in agility per body rank of the user. Additionally, once every three posts, the user is able to defend against an offensive activation without utilizing an activation.

▰ Flame Waltz: Flash [ Enbu: Sen ] | Rank X | Complex

The user slashes the opposite direction to it's first attack, releasing a different element the user possesses that is compatible with the first attacks element. This allows the two techniques to Korabo their elemental abilities, creating a fused wave of elemental chakra.

Stage Three

▰ Blazing Crimson Mirror [ Moeru Shinku no Kagami ] | Rank X | Complex
The user channels their chakra into their blade, rotating in a complete circle as they catch an incoming projectile attack, including ninjutsu and bloodline ninjutsu with the edge of their sword, hurling it back towards the source as they complete the rotation. This technique must be used at the same rank and potency as the technique it is countering. In addition, if compatible with the user's element, the attack thrown back has that elemental effect applied to it.

▰ Flame Attunement [ Chōsei Sa Reta Honō ] | Rank C | Training
By practicing the style's many forms, the user has learned to reduce the chakra needed for equal results by finite control.

▰ Flames of Deception [ Kyogi no Hi ] | Rank C | Training
Once per post when using a technique from this style after the user completes this training, a C Ranked elemental clone of the user may be created in their place as they move out of sight in some manner through role play. This costs no activation but requires a C Rank amount of chakra each time done. These clones have access to C Rank and below Basic Combat Skills. In addition, each of these clones, upon being stricken with a value equal or greater to C Rank explode, sending their specific element flying outward fifteen feet. Each clone requires an E Ranked Upkeep per post.

Stage Four

▰ Blazing Rush [ Moeru Zenshin ]| Rank X | Complex
The user moves forward, sending a wave of elemental chakra behind them in a half circle expanding five foot increments and move [1] point faster when used C rank and below and 2 points faster when used at B Rank and above. For each rank applied, they travel ten feet forward, appearing as an incoming cannon ball of their elemental affinity, plowing through their target as they make a horizontal slice through the target, ending their technique behind them. Those moving slower than the user at the time of execution see nothing more than a blur of elemental fury.

▰ Incarceration Ambush [ Shōkyaku Machibuse ] | Rank X | Complex
The user defends a physical attack using their sword to halt the offensive action. After stopping the attack, the user expels chakra from the blade and sends a mighty blast of elemental chakra from the blade that carries the target back with it. As the target travels backwards ten feet per rank, the user leaps above the elemental attack if successful and draws their elemental attack back to swirl around the blade, using it to utilize a second attack at one rank lower than the original. This may be used as a defensive activation and the secondary attack is successful if the primary counter attack is.

▰ Blazing Soul [ Homura Dama ] | Rank B | Complex
The user prepares to attack with an unsheathing attack. The user vanishes from sight, using a shushin movement and appears directly before the target, slashing horizontally at the target, releasing a wave of their element twenty five feet in the direction of their blade's path before returning to it's sheath.

▰▰▰ Description:
Kazekiri. This is a style that utilizes two similar sized swords, generally short or medium length blades.The style was developed with ambidextrous users in mind. The sole purpose of this style is to create a flurry of attacks that can come from either direction. Essentially this is a style that teaches an efficient use of dual sword strikes, often used to double the impact behind a blow. This also leaves the user with two blades instead of one. It can also be used to hold off several opponents at once, or quickly overpower an opponent.

This is followed closely by the user's pivoting body following through with the first strike's motion to swing the other blade around and into the foe as well. From each of these strikes, chakra blades begin to launch from the blade, creating a barrage of furious attacks. At it's base, this attack generates six blades that fly up to fifteeen feet from the user. For each additional rank the technique is executed at, another three blades are generated and the range extends by five feet.

▰ Vortex Counter [ Uzu Hangeki ] | Rank X | Complex

▰ Heavy Gale [ Kyōfū ] | Rank C | Complex
The user begins a furious assault on the target, slashing wildly at them to overwhelm them with the sheer number of attacks they are using. While the slashes from these individual attacks are not necessarily powerful, this technique is used to create enough accumulative force to lift a target off their feet and send them flying up to thirty feet if undefended and doubles the bleeding caused by the attack's trauma.

Stage Four

▰ Gale Force Twister [ Kyōfū Tatsumaki ] | Rank B | Complex
Using chakra to orbit one sword around the other, the user's stationary blade is used to hurl the spiraling blade at the opponent. As this blade travels it shreds the air around it like a giant shuriken, cleaving through it's target.

If the user has the wind element, those within a fifty foot radius are drawn toward the tornado unless they expend a C rank amount of chakra to resist.

▰ Piercing Gale [ Senshi Tatsumaki ] | Rank A | Complex

Using charka to enhance the straight forward attack's speed greatly, the user thrusts both blades in a charging action. The swords are thrust ten times with a 2 point increase in speed, each attack releasing a concussive blast that impacts foes who block the barrage of techniques, sending them flying for twenty five feet and suffering an additional tier of trauma.

Stage Six

▰ Inverted Gale Strike [ Gyaku Tatsumaki Kōgeki ] | Rank S | Complex
The user brandishes both blades, striking down from above on a target. This attack consumes all activation of the user on the post it is utilized. In exchange, the initial post's attack reduces the target's endurance by 4 points. If the opponent does not block this strike, the user is able to cleave into the target completely. However, should the target block the strike, a powerful vacuum is created as the user lifts their blades from the blocked surface. Everything within fifty feet of the point of contact is drawn into this location, requiring an S Rank amount of Stamina to resist. Should anyone in the range of the attack have strength equal to the user's at the time of the first post's attack they are able to pay a B rank amount to resist. The purpose of the second post's attack is to draw a target in for a lethal strike, should they prove too difficult to defeat otherwise.

▰ Divine God of the Wind [ Kaze no Kami ] | Rank S+ | Complex
In order to utilize this technique, the user must have access to all three uses of their shushin technique. The user vanishes from sight, slashing at the target with both blades for three attacks as they pass by the target, totaling in six cuts. Then, as they end the path of their first shushin movement, they vanish once more, repeating this action from another angle. Then a last time, coming to a grand total of eighteen physical cuts. After each of these cuts are landed, the sheer speed of the user's actions cause an explosive pressure change that occurs at the target's location. This concussive blast renders the target unconscious if the slashing attacks were successful, ending the fight. All attacks from this technique are considered successful if the first part is not completely blocked or evaded. In addition, the sheer force of the colliding blades causes a blast of wind that pushes everything back fifty feet and causes tier four vertigo.

• If using the Kubikiribocho of the Mist Swords, the user's concussive blast in the gap that they have covered is treated as a separate A rank force that causes deafness and tier three vertigo.
• If using Samehada, the user's weapon cuts the target, they absorb 20% of their chakra instead of 5%.
• If using Shibuki, the user's attack does not cut the target but sends them flying the same distance the user traveled, slapping them with fifty explosive tags that detonate the following post, causing tier four burns and body paralysis.
• If using Hiramekarei, the strength modifier for the technique is replaced with the same amount of speed.

▰▰▰ Description:
The Great Destructive Blade Art 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 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.

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.

▰▰▰ Notes:
• The smoke that comes from the smoke pellets is easily dispersed by wind techniques.
• Must have items listed in technique in inventory on profile to use said techniques involving those items.
