Name of Weapon: Kazesenkou (Flash Wind)

Where it was found/Who made it: The sword was commissioned for him at birth and was made to match his elemental affinity.

The Range of the weapon: Melee, (slightly longer then an average katana.)

Weakness: Excessive use can tire the user's arm and reduce overall speed of the draw and successive strikes.

Description: Kazesenkou has an impressively elegant design as would be expected of a sword made for the prince of a royal family. Being about 6 inches longer then your average katana, the blade has an unusually sleek design make it perfect for fast draws. the blade was designed with a razor sharp edge and was designed with a chakra enhanced material which gave it a bluish tint, causing all strikes with the blade to reflect a light blue arc through the air as it is swung. The blade is also rather skillfully polished, making it much easier to angle the blade properly and produce a sharp light off the blade to momentarily distract an enemy.

Kazesenkou also carries a hidden power which allows the user to push their own chakra into the blade and activate the Flash Wind, the technique which gives the sword it's name.

Length: 89 cm (35 in)
Weight: 2 lbs

With a D-rank amount of chakra, the blade reacts, enhancing the chakra of the user and sending it back through the arm gripping the blade as the user's arm is wrapped in swirling wind. The next three strikes from the user are 2x the speed of normal, which when added to a normal Iaijutsu strike's speed is barely even visible excepting for the light blue glints the blade leaves in the air as it strikes. These strikes are so fast, and the blade so sharp, that it can easily slice through metal and other physical barriers which would normally not be penetrable to a metal sword. When the blade is returned to the sheath, the wind dissipates and leaves the user's arm fatigued for 1 post, slowing sword draw speed by 50%.

(As a Tsukiakrai weapon, during this augmentation, the user can choose to extend the wind surrounding his arm over the blade as well, making the attacking edge blunt, rather then sharp to prevent killing the opponent.)

Rp Sample:

Stepping out into the moonlight of the main garden within the Tsukiakari manor, Hikaru looked up to see the moon in it's third quarter phase, reflecting quickly on how he hoped to reached that stage one day. For now however, he would have to prove himself to his teacher as he stepped down onto the grass, into the middle of the open zen garden where his master awaited. In a strange reversal, the master bowed lower to the student as they acknowledged each other, a common theme in Hikaru's royal life.

His teacher immediately took up position, and Hikaru followed, shifting his right foot forward as he bent his knees low, positioning his upper body with a slight twist to the left as he held his Kazesenkou up with his left hand, hovering his right just above the blade's hilt. The two seemed to stare each other down for minutes before, in a flash, both had moved forward and drawn their blades which met with a clash of metal in the middle of the field, a thin blue streak of light following Hikaru's strike, which lingered for only a second as both master and student passed each other, returning their blades to their sheaths almost as quickly as they had drawn them. "That was a fine strike Hikaru, but your enemies will not be so kind. I've been holding back, it's time to truly test your meddle."

Turning around to face each other again, they bowed once more as they took their positions once more. Silence filled the air once more as the slow stream of water through the garden filled the air before the second clash was heard, except this time the blades met and were kept out of their sheaths as each warrior pushed against the blade of the other trying to gain ground. The teacher then quickly twisted his blade as the light from the moon was caught and directed right into Hikaru's eyes, forcing him to look away as his sensei pushed up on his leg and shot his foot forward into his stomach, knocking Hikaru backwards and off balance as he re-sheathed his blade and charged.

Still stunned from the attack, Hikaru just barely managed to return his blade to it's sheath, but it was too late as time slowed down nearly to a halt as he could see the first glint of his master's blade leaving it's sheath. Chakra suddenly flowed from Hikaru's body, activating almost subconsciously as the blade absorbed the energy then shot it back through Hikaru's arm. His arm now wrapped in wind, he gripped his blade and let loose with his strike as the blade flew through the air at incredible speed which surprised even Hikaru himself. as the blade struck his master's sword, the force of the blow threw him off balance as Hikaru brought his arm up, the wind suddenly surging across the blade as he struck down at his master, the blade's edge colliding with his chest as he was sent stumbling backwards about 10 feet, dropping his sword and falling to the ground from the force of the blow.

Panicking, Hikaru re-sheathed his blade as the wind disappeared, feeling his arm become incredibly sluggish as he rushed to his master, falling to his knees as he checked the wound. To his surprise however, only a large bruise had appeared across his master's chest as the teacher struggled through a pained face to lean up, only to succeed to falling back to the ground. "Heh... a true Tsukiakari sword that is... quite a piece of work."

Name of Weapon: Daichi (Earth Blade)

Where it was found/Who made it: This blade was made for Tsukiakari Hikaru on his request for his 16th birthday as a matched pair to his Kazesenkou.

The Range of the weapon: Melee, (standard size of a wakizashi)

Weakness: After continued use, the blade becomes heavier and harder to wield, requiring it to be sheathed for long periods of recovery. use of the blade's abilities can also be rather taxing on a user's chakra.

Description: Compared with Kazesenkou's design and make, Daichi is average in it's appeal, but the blade's strength cannot be argued. Made with reinforced material, this blade is excessively strong and is perfect for defense. Upon being drawn, the blade takes on a dark brown tint and does not reflect light at all. The blade then has multiple effects at the user's control, albeit with a somewhat heavy toll on the user's chakra.

Length: 50 cm (20 in)
Weight: 1lb 10 oz.

With a E-rank amount of chakra, when the blade strikes a target, it adds weight. If it strikes flesh, the wound is instantly closed and crusted over with mud and rock, adding about 25 lbs of condensed weight to affected area. If it strikes a blade, it does the same thing, but with no noticeable effect. (On every use of technique, the blade doubles in weight and requires a post of rest in it's sheath to recover. Multiple uses stack the multipliers. The added weight lasts for 5 posts.)

With a C-rank amount of chakra, the blade can be thrown into the ground to create a localized earthquake, which knocks enemies within a 25 foot radius off balance and slows them down, giving Hikaru a chance to capitalize with Kazesenkou.

With a C-rank amount of chakra, the blade's edge turns dark brown as Hikaru stabs it into his gut, appearing to have committed seppuku, but instead, his body melts into a mud form as he sinks into the ground, allowing him to escape from battle by passing through the earth to reform at a safe distance. (Which takes 2 posts)

Rp Sample:

Hikaru had found himself quickly running through the long grass of the fields leading to the manor. the moon was out, as it always was during his training hours, but this was not the usual routine. He had been sent with two bodyguards to negotiate a trade agreement with another royal family, but on the way back, they had been jumped in the woods. His bodyguards instantly leaped at the assailants, killing two of them instantly, but finding themselves quickly dispatched by the other 3 in the process. their last words had been to tell Hikaru to ruin and he did so without hesitation.

Being young, Hikaru was able to keep ahead of the ninja at first, but they were quickly gaining as the grass of the field rose to his knees. Looking back, Hikaru was able to spin around quickly as he saw several kunai launched at him. Drawinf Kazesenkou out in a flash, Hikaru was able to deflect the first two kunai with a single well placed slash, but two more were directly in their wake. With Kazesenkou still out, Hikaru drew Daichi from it's sheath, it's weight being almost the same as Kazesenkou despite being nearly half it's length. Hikaru was able to deflect the kunai, but it had given his assailants time to catch up as he was quickly surrounded.

Sheathing Kazesenkou immediately, Hikaru kept Daichi in his left hand as his right hovered over the hilt of his katana, slowly turning in place to try to keep track of all three of the assailants. Quickly, one came at him with sword drawn, but Hikaru was quick to react, forcing chakra into Daichi as he tossed the blade to the ground, creating a large localized quake, which shifted the attacker's balance, causing him to slip and miss his attack as he drew kazesenkou in one clean slice, slicing across the man's neck, returning the blade to it's sheath before the felled ninja even hit the ground. the other two had surrounded him once more, biding their time as he picked Daichi up out of the dirt, waiting for the next attacks.

They both came at the same time now as Hikaru was quick to draw Kazesenkou, deflecting one sword off to the side, as he held Daichi up to intercept the other. With a subtle display of incredible control and agility, Hikaru maneuvered Daichi to deflect the initial strike, then tap the katana 3 more times, as he pushed chakra into his blade on each strike, increasing the katana's weight increased by 100 lbs, instantly making his assailant drop the blade, as Hikaru kicked him to the ground unconscious. Daichi's weight was unwieldy at about 30 lbs, as he sheathed the blade and stared down his final assailant, his right hand hovering over Kazesenkou.

Without warning, the man performed several hand seals as Hikaru soon found himself surrounded by clones... far too many then he could handle. as they all attacked, Hikaru had no choice as he removed the already weighty blade, pushing his final reserves of chakra into it as the blade took on a dark brown color. turning the blade inward, he stabbed it into his gut as the color of the blade traveled outward across his body as turned into a mass of mud and earth, the attacker's swords doing him no harm as they struck the viscous earth, which quickly sunk into the ground. It took him another 20 minutes after that, but Hikaru was able to make it to the manor's gates, coming up out of the ground as his body reformed, leaving him collapsed on the ground next to the guards of the manor who immediately picked him up and brought him to safety.
