So is that weapon style open for everyone to use? So long as they have a two-handed weapon?
I do like the style, it is well balanced, but provides some nice little nuances for anyone who wields it, and it fits perfectly into it's theme without being really broken. Overall a great job, though I do have notes (as always)
1. I'm a little confused on the first rule. Are you saying the user gains the ability to use any technique with one handed hand seals?... or just the techniques granted by the sword?
2. From Stage 1 --> Stage 2 ... The 3-step assault turns into a 10 step assault ... Why the huge jump? Why not make it a 3-step assault (Stage 1) --> 6-step assault (stage 2) --> 10-step assault (Stage 3).
...that would seem to make more sense to me.

After you re-word the first rule to make sure it is clear that the one handed seals apply to all lightning techniques, then this is approved!

BluewolfofMibu The Infinite One Sword Style (Mugen Ittōryū)
Weapon Style for the First Tsurugi
]http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=17485785&page=9
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xocYeywG2cg
The Infinite One Sword style was created by Haseo's mother and father as away to defend Sunagakure. Though Haseo doesn't know it yet, both his parents were shinobis from Kirigakure and Konoha and became refugees in Suna. The sword style is a fusion of Leaf’s Lotus Taijutsu and training, Gentle Fist style, Mist’s Sword style, and the creation of Swords. Rather than relying on a single good quality blade the practitioner makes use of hundreds of swords scattered around the battlefield. The practioner does not care about the quality of the blades he uses, and uses a variety of moves making use of a single blade, or even multiple blades at the same time. Because of his reliance on hundreds of blades scattered around the battlefield the practitioner almost always has a blade, or multiple blades handy for use. He uses his swords for various purposes beyond normal melee attacking, including use as projectiles, paths to walk on, pins to hinder his opponent's movements, and also use for making multiple simultaneous attacks on an enemy or even several enemies. Note that only a creator of this style can teach the final stage.
Stage 1: The Body Training
Academy
In the first stage of the style, the practioner does nothing but train his body by wearing weighted armlets and leg weights. The user trains by simply moving constantly and training sessions look almost like boxing matches, with the user having to constantly move around and dodge the trainer. It is believed that teaching one how to survive is the first order of business. It is not a matter of learning to attack, but learning how to move, evade, dodge, and charge.
Stage 2: The Movement Training
Genin
After the basic body building is complete, the user then begins training technique. The user is taught how to keep momentum up, and how to chain one move into another. This allows for stronger blows and more fluid movements. The user also learns how to constantly circle an opponent, keeping him on guard constantly. This is essential to using the infinite sword by moving constantly.
Stage 3: The Sword Training
Genin
After all the hand to hand taijutsu training is completed, the practitioner is finally given a sword. Any sword will do. In this stage, the practitioner is trained in the art of the sword. He will learn how to swing it properly, make cuts and slashes. By the end of the training, the practitioner feels bit more ease, capable of inflicting more damage and implementing more speed and strength. However, the user isn't at a level yet where he is extremely dangerous to anyone except a lower level taijutsu user or a genin without taijutsu training.
Stage 4: The Double Sword style
Chuunin
At this stage, the practitioner is taught how to use swords in methods never even thought of. The practioner is trained in many different forms:
Form 1: Balance…the practitioner is asked to stand and balance on the hilt of the blade on one foot while the blade has been stuck to the ground. This takes several hours to master
Form 2: Accuracy…the practitioner is trained on throwing a katana at an enemy. Usually a katana is not used as throwing weapons, but this is an essential part of the training. The practioner must have perfect accuracy by throwing the weapon at a bull’s-eye from 30 yards away.
Form 3: Dual wielding…the final form at this stage is the ability to wield two swords at once. This is only a small milestone in the sword style, but it is a step that needs to be taken.
Five posts for each form performed
Special Techniques:
Double Sword Technique
Description: With intensive training, the user of the style can learn to wield two blades instead of just one. This can only be done with katana or smaller weapons. When using two blades, the effectiveness of the user can double or even triple under the right circumstances
Double Shimmering Path:
Description: The practitioner throws two swords at once at high speeds at the opponent
Stage 5: The Summoning
Chuunin
At this stage, the user must seek out a Blacksmith to create hundreds of swords for him to use and seal them in a scroll. The user is taught the summoning weapons technique in order to summon the swords unto the battlefield. After this is done, the practioner is now taught how to use several swords at once. The practioner can wield two swords in hand at once, and grab several of them to use as projectiles. Using Leaf Taijutsu, the practioner can grab swords with their toes and use their feet to wield blades as well.
Special Techniques:
Tobidōgu (Flying Tools):
Description: This jutsu allows the practioner to store their swords in a summoning scroll and summon them whenever they want. The practioner is taught how to summon hundreds of blades and make them rein upon the battlefield. If the opponent is not careful enough, he can be skewered to pieces from the initial summoning.
Three Shimmering Paths:
Description: Using it, the practioner grabs onto three of his swords and throws them onto the ground creating a path. Then running along these swords the swordsman grabs onto a fourth one and uses it to directly attack the opponent at high speeds, using the hilt of each sword to push himself for more momentum
Stage 6: The Skewering
Jounin
At this stage the swordfighter is taught in the Hyuga’s gentle fist style. But not in the way one would think since the masters can't copy the styles of another bloodline. The practioner is taught how to implement the blade with the techniques of the Leaf’s Hyuga clan and how to implement the several dozen swords into one giant attack.
Special Techniques
Addition Blows (1-12)
Description: The practioner moves at high speeds to attack his enemy. After each hit he will let go of his sword to quickly use another to let him attack from different angles while his enemy is stunned from his previous blow. This leaves his enemy covered with twelve swords
Sword Fang:
Description: Practitioner begins by hitting three swords standing parallel to each other. They are hit near the end, causing all three of them to slash upwards, in the manner of a "fang".
Vertical Line:
Description: Following his Sword Fang; all three swords momentarily hover in the air, where the user will then proceed to use the current sword in his hand to sequentially hit each, thereby launching each of them directly at the enemy.
Stage 7: The Massacre
Kage/Saanin
By this time, the user has practically neared perfection. His blows are perfectly straight and powerful, the user knows where and how to hit his opponent's body to inflict as much damage as possible. Using wide, sweeping strike the user is kept spinning and moving, almost like a top while fighting. The movements are so fluid that, even with making such wide strikes they still often hit. The weapons are more than extensions of the body now. The blades are the body. The pure grace and skill within the user is so high that it can only be described as awe-inspiring. By this stage…the user can effectively wield one hundred blades simultaneously by moving at such high speeds that they can easily strike, drop the sword, pick another and strike again. To master this style, is to be called a demon.
Special Techniques:
Multiplication Twenty Four Blows
Description: The practitioner will follow his Addition Blows with this attack. He strikes the swords that he left around his enemy from his Addition Blows which ends up cutting his enemy with the twelve swords all over again.
Stage Eight: Hells Ascension
Kage
At this stage, the sword master is said to have been granted his mastery over the sword from Susano-o himself. The shinobi's mastery over the countless katana he wields is incomparable to any other style around. A master of this stage has the capability of literally destroying an army on his own without so much as a scratch. When he moves, it is as if you were watching the wind dance listlessly. His movements are also quick and effective, not one strike made simply to maim. It is in this stage that the sword wielder has caused such a connection with the blades he fights with, that he has the capability of calling one to him from 100 yards away. Incorporated into this stage are the flips, tricks, and twirls which make him not only hard to hit, but hard to see. The swordsman is said to have invisible hands, capable of making it seem as if one were fighting ten katana wielding shinobi at once. It would take at least three jounin to effectively stand a chance against one of this rank. He is no longer referred to as simply a demon, his blades said to be forged in the flames of hell.
Special Techniques:
Yaiba Terekineshisu(Blade Telekinesis) Kage/Sannin Rank:
Description: As the blades are summoned into the battle ground, as long as the swordsman so much as touches one of them, it is instantly infused with a chakra mark. This mark, allows the swordsman to literally extend his hands and "call" a blade to each one, from 100 yards away.
Yaiba Kyuuten(Heaven's Blade) Kage/Sannin Rank:
Description: Burning his chakra into the blades on the battlefield, the swordsman can literally cause one hundred blades to hover and shoot towards an opponent, either all at once, or one at a time for five posts. In a limited fashion, the swordsman can control up to ten blades effectively in close combat, as if they were extensions of his actions and will. The latter of these two actions can only be done for five posts at a time, and a period of three posts afterwards must pass before it can be done again. Stage 9 The Infinite Master
A ninth stage to the legendary technique, developed by Haseo Shimizu and taken a step further. The technique combines the fusion blades he prefers, and the flexible sword style of the infinite one sword. There are primary differences though, instead of katanas hundreds of interlocking blades fall down onto the battlefied. These blades also react to chakra, and can move on their own, reacting to his chakra. Any extreme emotions concentrated when performing this technique can be devastating. This has resulted in the ninth stage being placed as a forbidden jutsu, to be used only during periods of emergencies. The blades are all custom made by the Leaf Master Blacksmith, Haakuzou and created to destroy.
Jounin
Blade Beam Infinite: The user grabs nine seperate blades, charging them with his chakra and stabbing them in the ground to form a circle around his opoenent. He then stands over the first blade he set into the ground, and removes it, setting off a chain reaction and releasing the chakra stored in the eight other blades to set off simulteaneous beams of chakra, aiming at the enemy.
Meteorain: The user grabs any single blade and raises it into the air, releasng chakra into space. The result is six small meteors, composed of fire element, hitting the the enemy at random.
Three Elements Shield: The user grabs three blades at random, charging each with a different elemental chakra and interlocking them. He throws the blades up into the air, disengaging them to form a parachute shield of chakra around the user.
Sanin Rank:
Omnislash/Finale
The user rushes through his field of swords, picking up and inter locking five blades. He hits the enemy with a fully assembled blade the first time, detatching two blades and slashing once more, while the two other blades attack simultaneously. He continues detaching the blades part by part, each time while the detached blades attack like ghost weapons, fueled by chakra. When their is only one blade left in his hands, the user shoves the blade into the ground releasing his chakra. The other blades embedded into the ground react to his will, and rush through the air simultaneously aiming at the opponent. Masters of this style:
Pi Shimizu (Npc mother)
Kuhn Shimizu (Npc father)
Students:
Haseo Shimizu

A note on your summon for the hundreds of weapons
In RL, it takes at least a month if not more to make a real katana. If you use this summoning, you would have to have someone start making very cheap shoddy swords for you [I doubt a genin from anywhere could afford a hundred katanas anyway.] and they all would not be ready until you are a chunin.
You may want to consider lowering the number of swords that you use.

I know this. That's why Stage 5 is learned at chuunin not genin. And not only that, but it strictly says that they must seek out a blacksmith in order to create the swords and be taught how to seal them into the scroll. Also note, that I'm not a master of this style, I am merely the student, I've already begun the training for the style in the hopes that it would be accepted, if it is, I would be currently at Stage 2. That's why I put two NPCs as the masters since I would need to learn it and that's just weird to just magically find a scroll that has it. I want it to make sense in the roleplay and for my rpc to grow as a person. This is a very hard style to fully learn and I want it that way because if used correctly it can be pretty powerful.

"Three Elements Shield: The user grabs three blades at random, charging each with a different elemental chakra and interlocking them. He throws the blades up into the air, disengaging them to form a parachute shield of chakra around the user."
I'm going to have to limit this style to Weapon Masters for one thing. Also, Weapon Masters can't have 3 chakra elements. So If you want this technique, you would have to limit it to 1 element. But, you could have 3 swords making the shield.

This is something I made for another guild actually, but I thought I would submit it here in case I ever decide to make another character that could learn it Butoukai Sono Raijin [Dance of the Thunder God]Fast, Effecient, Fluid  Weapon type: typically a katana, but any weapon could potentially be used with the style Only characters with speed as their primary strength can learn this style This swordstyle, named for it's quick and fluid movements, is said to to be the fastest swordstyle in the world. Legend tells of masters striking with such speed that they rivaled lightning bolts. This is of course legend, but it is true that masters of the style are some of the fastest beings on the planet. The style originated in the land of lightning where it is said that the first practitioner sof the Dance of the Thunder God was born. some say he was the progeny of the Thunder God himself, and his name was Raiku Momuji. He was born into a family of samurai, but at an early age he showed such an aptitude for sword-fighting that he began creating his own style. After decades spent alone honing his body and mind, Raiku finally finished the style that would come to be known as the Dance of the Thunder God. Stage 1(Academy Student) The first stage of this style teaches the very basic concepts of the style, namely the fluidity of motion. Training does not even involve a weapon at this stage to the style, instead students of the style practice moving from the various stances, drilling into them how to move fluidly through changes of stance and simple movement. Stage 2(Genin) The second stage focuses on speed, training students to move in the most effecient way possible so that they minimize energy use when traveling at faster speeds. From this point onward all students of the style will wear training weights, as the practitioners of this style become stronger the weights they wear will grow progressivel heavier. Genin start off wearing weights that weigh a total of 50 lbs. These weights can be taken off when in combat to dramatically increase speed. Stage 3(Genin) At this stage of training students learn to utilize their speed and fluidity of motion in combat, learning how reach their target in the quickest most effecient way. They also learn how to dodge more effectively by utilizing that fluidity of motion, learning to move so that even when dodging they are positioning themselves effectively to strike at their opponents. By this stage the practitioner can use what he has learned to effectively fight without a weapon, though he still won't be as effective as taijutsu specialists. The weight of the practitioners training weights will be increased to 75 lbs. Techniques: Path of the Thunder God- At this stage students are taught to move quickly and effeciently, teaching them how to find the quickest path to their targets. Students will naturally move faster than other ninja (though not as fast as a speed ninja), even learning how to move through crowds and debris more effeciently than others. (This is a passive ability) Thoughtful Dodge(I couldn't think of a better name)- The practitioner has learned to dodge much more effeciently. Hitting a practitionrer of the style with any kind of direct assault is very difficult, unless they are fighting someone much faster than themselves. In addition they have learned how to dodge in such a way that they are put in optimum position to counter immediately. Stage 4(Chunin) At this stage students are finally given their first sword. Because of their repetition of the the stances without the sword, it is fairly easy to integrate the sword into what they already know. The most important part of this stage is learning how to maintain the fluidity of motion and effeciency of motion while wielding a blade. Once the student has learned to effectively integrate his blade into the style his potential greatly increases, making him much more deadly. Though they move quickly, their stikes are not overly powerful, but the effeciency with which they strike makes each strike a threat. Training weights will now weigh 100 lbs. Techniques: Flurry of the Thunder God: The user has learned to strike so quickly that they can strike twice as fast as shinobi of equal rank, able to strike three or four times in rapid succession while still maintaining a good defense. Stage 5(Chunin) The practitioner has now spent enough time wearing training weights that when he is takes them off his speed is unrivaled, and even when wearing the weights they move as fast as speed ninja of equal rank. Practitioners skill with the blade also increases as they become even more comfortable with the feel of it. Their stiking effeciency increases yet again, their blade seeming to find its way into even the smallest of openings. The training weights now weigh 150 lbs. Stage 6(Jounin) The practitioner has reached legendary speeds, appearing as a blur to most other ninja. Only doujutsu possessors with high level movement tracking skills have any chance of keeping up with the user with any real hope of success. The practitioner still doesn't have a huge amount of strength behind their attacks, but the momentum of their strikes makes each strike very difficult to stop. This level of speed cannot be maintained forever, and in fact most masters must wear weights in order to keep from moving too fast for fear of tearing muscles. The weights usually weigh anything from 200-300 lbs, depending on the user. Stage 7(Kage/Saanin) Once this stage is reached the practitioner has attained true mastery of the style. Practitioners must learn to move effectively without any of their weights, a task that is much harder than it might sound. Because of the great speed at which the user moves their muscles are under constant strain of over-exstending, simply because their mind cannot fully keep up with the movement in order to stop it. The practitioner learns to utilize this momentum by moving their blade in wide sweeping arcs, and quick thrusts. Other movements are certainly possible, but the concentration required to move most effectively can only be maintained for short periods of time. Anyone that reaches this stage must constantly wear training weights which they must constantly replace with heavier and heavier weights, or else they risk tearing muscles accidently with even the smallest of movements. Some masters must wear at least some weight even when utilizing the 7th stage, because they have simply become so fast that their mind cannot possibly keep up with their bodies. Legends say that the first master, Raiku Momuji, had to wear 1000 pounds of weight even when using the styles 7th stage. Techniques: Embodiment of the Thunder God: The user has reached the final stage of the Dance of the Thunder God, and have become true embodiments of the Thunder God, able to strike with the speed and force of a lightning bolt. However this power does not come without risk. This speed can only be maintained for 2 posts without risking tearing all the muscles in their body, however even then their muscles are so strained that the user will move at roughly half their normal speed for 4 posts. If the user wishes they can maintain the speed and power for 4 posts, but afterwords every muscle in their body will tear to shreds and they must spend at least 3 real days under close supervision before they can even move. After the three days their speed will be equivalent to roughly 2/3 their regular speed. After an additional four days after they are partially recovered the user will be completely recovered and they could potentially use the technique again if they had to.

Since it is a swordmaster style, should we limit it only to weapon master class?

well I thought that assassins might be able to implement the style as well since it's about speed and efficiency rather than pure power. And of course I don't know why a samurai couldn't use it.

The problem with Samurai is that they do not have Speed as any level of strength, which is essential. How about we limit this style to rpc's with Speed as the primary strength?

Tsukiakari Ryuu (Moonlight Dragon Style)
History and Development: The Moonlight Dragon Crest has been the symbol of the Tsukiakari royal family since the old days. As one of Japan's oldest and most well respected royal families, they have thrived for centuries, always carrying their history with them as a family of great peace and serenity. As the legend of the crest is told, millennia ago, when dragons ruled over humans from heavenly realms, one dragon set himself apart. Tired of the embittered violence of his brethren, he escaped to the moon where he led a peaceful existence before becoming very lonely. Not wanting to go back to his dragon kin, he traveled to earth in the form of a young man and married, and became prosperous as a great gardener of blue lotus flowers, which bloomed only in moonlight, but shone like sapphires when they did.
Many eventually grew jealous of his prosperity however and he and his wife were attacked at their home. With nowhere left to turn, the dragon was forced to imbue his spirit into the woman, allowing her to defend herself by turning all of the swords which attacked her into a sapphire blue shower of flower petals which destroyed her enemies. Ever since, the dragon never returned, but the line was carried on through the woman, Tsukiakari Tsubame. Her offspring and her children's offspring eventually rose to royalty through their great gift, given to them generations ago by their ancestor, who they immortalized forever within the family's crest. (This was a direct bloodline descendant of the Senbonzakura bloodline)
Over time, a style of sword play was developed to accompany the bloodline ability and the great legend, one which accentuated the grace of the blade's movement and the speed at which the moonlight glinted off of it. The art was always developed to keep peace, and to protect. The style was not taught to anyone who had an aggressive heart and was passed down through scrolls which detailed it's secrets. It is said that all forms of Iaijutsu and Battoujutsu originally had this sword style as their base, as this style focuses on speed and the graceful draw and return of the blade over all else.
Rules:
1. User must be either a Weapon Master or a Samurai to learn this style.
2. Use must have character strengths of 'Cunning' and 'Agility' *
3. User must have a direct tie to the Tsukiakari Royal Family.
4. Those with evil hearts or intentions cannot utilize the style's techniques.
*(Cunning is required know when and how to use the light's reflection and manipulate the sheathing of the blade perfectly for certain techniques. Agility is required for the ability of the body to keep up with the lightning quick speed of the movements and the precision positioning of the blade into and out of the sheath.)
Quarter Moon (available at the rank of Genin)
Required Growth: As the beginner level for this style, training focuses on the speed of the draw and accurate return of the blade to it's sheath. After mastered, the blade's return can be re-directed downward in a surprising motion, then repeated in an upward strike. these motions are trained for hours upon hours before fully mastered, but once learned, serve as the bread andbutter for all techniques following. (This level requires 5 posts of training to master)
Maneuver(s) Learned
Iaijutsu Mastery - This is the primary and most fundamental technique of the Tsukiakari Ryuu. This technique allows for a lightning fast draw of the sword, couple with a diagonal, or horizontal strike accompanying the draw. The blade is then immediately returned to the sheath instantly. The draw and return of the blade are barely distinguishable from each other as the slash of the blade catches the light, illuminating the blade during it's travel, which is the only sign of it's presence.
Technique(s) Learned
Tsukiakari Do-Ryu Kire (Moonlight Ground Dragon Slice) - The natural progression of the Iaijutsu maneuver, this technique utilizes the same motions, but focuses a chakra enhanced blade in a vertical strike which sends a blade of energy along the ground in an explosive move which carries across the ground, tearing the earth up and spreading debris as it races towards it's target with destructive force. To perform the attack, the user attacks with a normal iaijutsu stirke, but then, instead of returning the blade to their sheath, they drop the sword down, digging it's edge into the ground. Then channeling chakra into the blade, they perform a vertical iaijutsu strike upwards, sending the Do-Ryu Sen hurtling towards the enemy as the user returns the blade to the sheath immediately following. [D-rank chakra used]
Tsukiakari Ryu Mei San (Moonlight Dragon Decree) - Sheathing the blade particularly fast with a surge of chakra, the sound waves of the sheathed metal ring out from the blade and distorts the hearing of everyone within 25 ft of the blade. This effect causes ringing in the ears, causing discomfort and deafness (for 1 post). This is especially effective against anyone with enhanced senses, often disorienting them for longer (2 posts), blocking out all other sounds as the ringing overloads their sense of hearing. [E-rank chakra used]
Half Moon (available at the rank of Chuunin)
Required Growth: After mastering the art of iaijutsu, focus is drawn to successive strikes of speed for added variability of attack and more maneuverability with the blade. The fundamentals of the Do-ryu sen are then brought out into the successive strikes to create the Ryu Sou Sen. (This level requires 7 posts of training to master)
Maneuver(s) Learned
Battoujutsu Mastery - A natural development after mastering Iaijutsu, Battoujutsu focuses on the same movement as iaijutsu, but focuses on multiple strikes after the draw rather then returning the blade to it's sheath. The successive strikes are not as fast as the initial iaijutsu-esque strike, but are still blindingly fast within this style. The strikes normal follow a sequence, excelling in the speed of the strikes, but suffering in predictability.
Technique(s) Learned
Tsukiakari Ryu Sou Kire (Moonlight Double Dragon Slice) - As the Do-Ryu sen technique is an Iaijutsu strike with a focused chakra-infused blade, the Ryu Sou Sen are multiple strikes in a Battoujutsu sequence with a chakra-infused blade. when performing the sequence strikes after the initial draw, crescent shaped arcs of chakra which are hurtled at the enemy through the air following the angle with which the blade was swung. [C-rank chakra used]
Tsukiakari Zantetsu Kire (Moonlight Dragon Iron Cutting Slice) - Focusing hard for an extended period of time, a Tsukiakari student is able to find a clarity of mind, breathing rhythm and center of peace which allows them to draw their blade in an incredible display of focused speed, skill, and strength as they release a 3 stroke maneuver which can cut through even the hardest iron or steel. This is a highly showcase technique and is not meant for combat as it takes a long time to prepare, but the technique has proven itself invaluable in many other applications for an adventuring swordsman. [D-rank chakra used]
Third Quarter Moon (available at the rank of Special Jounin)
Required Growth: Once the blade strikes are mastered, the body's movement and footwork are stressed, combining strikes with counter-attacks where the user utilizes glints of light off their blade to distract the attention and focus of their opponent and strike from surprising angles. (This level requires 9 posts of training to master)
Maneuver(s) Learned
Moonlight Twist - Though it need not be moonlight, this technique does require a fair deal of practice to master. As blades clash, or even simply as a sword's edge is dodged, a simple twist of a blade can redirect the glint of sunlight or moonlight into an opponents eyes, momentarily blinding and distracting them.
Technique(s) Learned
Tsukiakari Ryu Shunpo Kire (Moonlight Dragon Flash Step Slice) - After utilizing the moonlight twist, the Tsukiakari user pushes chakra into their legs and feet as they use the momentary distraction of the glinted blade to move to the side, or behind an opponent and deliver a qucik strike to an undefended area.
Tsukiakari Hi-Ryu Kire (Moonlight Flying Dragon Slice) - After utilizing the moonlight twist, the Tsukiakari user pushes chakra into their legs and feet as they use the momentary distraction of the glinted blade to leap into the air to deliver a surprise attack from above with a hammer stroke which carries the gravity of the descent behind it. this is a slower strike then the Ryu Shunpo Sen, but is much stronger.

Required Growth: This level of growth is based more on the realization of the warrior that all things thought to be mastered can be expanded upon. The final stage is not so much a collection of new techniques so much as they are enhancements of everything the Tsukiakari member has learned already. This realization comes only with time as no one ever sees the true potential of their blade until they have risen high enough to gain new perspective. (This level requires 11 posts of training to master)
Technique(s) Learned
Tsukiakari Ryu Shunpo Bunshin Kire (Moonlight Dragon Flash Step Clone Slice) - Without the need for the moonlight twist, this technique requires a single hand seal, as the user performs a version of the displacement technique to substitute their body with an afterimage of moonlight (or chakra particles). This creates a more complete illusion, allowing the user to appear to the side, or behind their opponent just as a replacement technique would allow.
Tsukiakari Hi-Ryu Bunshin Kire (Moonlight Flying Dragon Clone Slice) - Without the need for the moonlight twist, this technique requires a single hand seal, as the user performs a version of the displacement technique to substitute their body with an afterimage of moonlight (or chakra particles). This creates a more complete illusion, allowing the user to appear above their opponent just as a replacement technique would allow.
Tsukiakari Ryu Kireme (Moonlight Dragon Rift) - Following the concept of the Do-Ryu Sen, the Tsukiakrai user focuses and channels much more chakra into their blade, sending a wave of destruction many times the power of the Do-Ryu Sen itself. The strike itself is so fast, that it at first seems like the user accomplished nothing at all, when in fact, their slash had opened a small rift in the air in front of them, which gradually fills with air, focused by the chakra particles which then explodes forward in an incredibly powerful arc of energy which tears anything in it's path to shreds over a distance of 150 feet, traveling at incredible speed.
