The user's attacks are powerful enough to shatter bone, sending it flying from inside the target outward. Each blow of these strikes carries the concussive power to throw the target to the ground, causing them to bounce between each strike as they are pommeled. Blood and bruises are the least of the target's concerns as their innards are ruptured, requiring immediate medical attention that no field medic could perform. If the first strike of this technique is successful, the remainder are as well.

▰▰▰ Description:
Originating in the lands East of Kirigakure, Teikiatsu is still considered by many a foreign art and is even denounced by many of the same men and women who pass on the style’s training scrolls. It utilizes a weapon not commonly considered by Shinobi, and as such it did not attain popularity or any sort of real relevance until very recently, when it was used to great effect by the military in its country of origin. The battle was a very steep uphill struggle, but it allowed the users of Teikiatsu to showcase what the style was actually good for: instead of the styles born from the minds of vagabonds or those made for tournaments, Teikiatsu was created by a small military for bloody struggles against larger nations. The few people who can still speak of the encounter speak of only one thing, the key trait that led to the fall of an army: the staff has two ends.

▰▰▰ Description:
Shizukana Sugi, Tranquil Cedar Style, is a way of combat that started with children, escalated to angry old folks at the dinner table, and escalated to peaceful old folks who've mastered patience, timing, and defense. The techniques in this style are by no means overwhelmingly powerful, however, they prove to be incredibly accurate and frightfully impressive in what it does. Which is maintaining an absolute sense of focus and awareness of one's surroundings and responding to it using the most precise weapon possible? A pair of chopsticks. Of course, any two thin objects can be used.

▰▰▰ Notes:
• All Simple techniques in this Style are treated as Complex when interacting with other techniques.


▰▰▰ Style Creation Credits:
• NecroPlant

Stage One

▰ Clarity [ Meikai-sa ] | Rank E | Training | Stance
The user acclimates to using the chopsticks by focusing inward into themselves. Most typically this involves the closing of one's eyes. Mostly practiced by snapping flies from out of mid-air. Meika-sa is a stance that remains so long as the user's eyes remain closed. It causes one to pick up the vibrations of one's surroundings and doing so creates a sensory 'bubble' around the user roughly in a twenty-foot radius. While in this stance the basic [Dodge] technique costs [5] less resource per rank of the oncoming technique to avoid or use a [Defensive] action against. However, as stated the user is essentially blind and additionally incredibly sensitive to sounds making Sound Based technique 1-Rank higher in effectiveness against the user.

▰ River Fishing [ Kawadzuri ] | Rank E | Simple
Opening the pair of chopsticks the user waits patiently for an oncoming physical strike. Once the attack grows close enough and enters the user's range of motion the user will snap the chopsticks shut on the oncoming attack. In the case of weapons, this leads into an immediate disarming attempt [Stamina = to the technique must be spent to resist the disarm less an anchoring technique is in place], in the case of people this technique leads into an immediate throwing of the individual either over the users head or into the ground powerfully enough to knock the wind out of someone. If catching a projectile the projectile may be immediately returned by paying an amount of stamina to correlate with its strength. ((Ineffective against Ninjutsu))

▰ Flyswatting [ Haetataki ] | Rank X | Simple
Closing a pair of chopsticks holding them patiently with a significant amount of focus, one will swat and attack oncoming away, as one would a fly. This technique has been known to make even the most fearsome techniques fail to connect and is most well known for the student master trope aura it produces. [Ignores the stats of the oncoming Attacks, Ignores Overwhelming Tags] [Ineffective Against Ninjutsu] [Parried Attacks must be primarily Physical in Nature]

Stage Two

▰ Table Manners [ Tēburumanā ] | Rank X | Simple
The user with their pair of chopsticks closed will deflect an oncoming attack. Right after a counter-attack is produced immediately after the deflection that does not consume an activation. This combination is treated to gain a [1] point increase in [speed] per-rank, following a [1] point decrease in [strength] for the counter attack per-rank as its primarily not designed to injure but provide a swift retort.

▰ Rice Picking [ Inekari ] | Rank X | Complex
Using ones advanced powers of perception the user will enhance their mental acuity and find a target on the opponent. This target being something of reasonable size in which the closing of the chopsticks can attain a grip on. Some known items being Ryo pouches, eyes, a blade handle, the width of a blade. In one definitive movement the user then ducks in and takes said item from the target. This technique cannot take weapons that are currently being held. Unless the target in question is attached to said opponent's body if the Users body rank is higher than the opponents the theft is considered successful. This does not apply to individuals with active Doujutsu or those with sensory protections. The more graphic uses of this ability involve but are not limited to the ripping off and removal of digits, eyes, flesh, and hair. Gains a [1] point increase in [speed] per rank.

Stage Three

▰ Guiding Willow [ An'nai Yanagi ] | Rank X | Spiritual
The user charges their chopsticks with chakra. Then when faced with an oncoming Ninjustu technique that has a tangible form the user grabs it between the chopsticks. However, the user does not grab its mass, rather it grabs the chakra composing the technique. This is noted through how the Ninjutsu will start to take on a rubbery like aspect. With one pull the Ninjutsu is stretched then collapses as if having ripped out the ninjutsu's very essence. The ninjutsu in question if paying its cost again can be stretched, warped, then redirected back from whence it came or another direction.

▰ Portioning Meal [ Bubun Shokuji ] | Rank X | Complex
This technique takes the principles of [Guiding Willow] improves upon it and refines it. The user may take any effective chakra based 'buffs', 'debuffs', or 'attributes' take it and place it on another, they may re-arrange and re-distribute said remaining durations as they see fit. However, if the plucked trait is not transferred by the next post it returns to where it was originally with [1] less duration. The rank of this technique is used to determine the strength of the plucking technique itself for collisions. Meaning one could pluck a S-ranked buff with an E-rank pluck assuming that E-rank pluck somehow connected.

Stage Four

▰ Parting Cedar [ Wakare Sugi ] | Rank B | Training | Stance
The User will learn the fight effectively with chopsticks on another level. Rather than hold both pairs of chopsticks in one hand the user instead holds one in each hand. The user loses access to all techniques in this style below stage [ B ] in this stance, however, requires no upkeep, and remains so long as the chopsticks remain as one in each hand. All mentions of [Speed] increases in this style are replaced with [Strength] while in this stance and is often accompanied by accurate powerful stabbing and thrusts.

▰ Verdant Oak [ Midori ōku ] | Rank B | Spiritual
The Chopsticks have their lengths increased by creating a film of thin chakra at their ends extending them. The level of extension increases their length anywhere from an increase of 2 to 8 feet. This allows the chopsticks to emulate staffs but is primarily used to extend the reach of its techniques for the [Parting Cedar] stance as making them too large makes them unwieldy. Lasts for five posts.

Stage Five

▰ Bamboo Poking [ Take-ko ] | Rank X | Simple
A quick jab with the chopsticks. Gains a [2] point bonus to [speed], but cannot deal lethal damage unless in the [Parting Cedar] Stance. If followed by another instance of [Bamboo Poking] the cost is reduced by [5] per rank, An Additional Offensive Activation may be used for exclusively [Bamboo Poking] if the prior two activations were [Bamboo Poking] this cost is also reduced by [5] per rank.

▰ Bamboo Tapping [ Take-tappu ] | Rank X | Simple or Spiritual
A snapping sound made with the side of one's chopsticks come into contact either with a target, an oncoming attack, or one another typically when closing. The snap disrupts sound based jutsu reducing their effectiveness by 1-rank. It disrupts any sensory techniques and abilities that post for 1 post, the snap additionally reduces the number of activations an opponent has by 1 by interrupting the process of an attack they've planned due to how startling the sound is. This loss of activation can only occur once per post. By having the technique treated as [Spiritual] for its cost the technique can produce an explosive sound wave of X-rank strength. It defeats sound-based techniques as though it were 1-rank higher. The snap is far less startling this way and does not reduce an opponents activation using this method.

Stage Six

▰ Clam Cracking [ Asari-ware ]| Rank S | Simple
A technique originally developed to pry open clams or separate a pair of competing chopsticks. The user penetrates a location with their enclosed chopsticks or a pair of chopsticks brought together then in one swift motion prys it open. Not to be underestimated anything the chopsticks penetrate will often be torn asunder when the chopsticks part. Gains a [1] ooint increase to [speed] and a [1] point increase to [strength]. Will split anything or crack anything in two if successfully penetrated. Can produce fissure in the ground or even split a building in half a small crack in one's armor could prove the downfall of the armor entirely. {When Penetrated: Ignores Armor}

▰ Peace and Tranquility [ Heiwa to Shizukesa ] | Rank S | Spiritual
The user relaxes, often times closing their eyes like [ Clarity ] but this is not necessary. The user achieves a state of serenity. Their [speed], and [agility] increase by [1]. They gain the sensory powers of [ Clarity ] without needing to close their eyes or subject themselves to sound sensitivity. Once per post, the user may treat the opposing targets [Speed] as if it were [0] for interactions. This state lasts [6] posts and remains so long as the user remains level-headed and calm.

▰▰▰ Description:
Tetsunami Ryu. In the upper Iron Country, the Zen Buddhist Monks dwelled within modest temple communities. However due to the instability of this region, there were many uprisings, battles, and small village slaughters. Due to their selective nature, the Monks were always out-numbered. So in order to make up for their lack of numbers, they made a style that was effective for a single blade against many opponents. The style relied heavily on footwork and body positioning, utilizing fluid and circular strikes and blocks while moving from weak to strong positions. They would never be still, always moving, keeping their opponent off balance.

▰▰▰ Notes:
• When entering a stance, the user then retains the bonuses and reductions of that stance until they enter a different stance or the battle ends.

▰▰▰ Style Creation Credits:
• Kondo Kaicho

Stage One

▰ Deflecting Stance | Rank X | Simple
The user stands in a front stance, their weapon in one hand by their hip, tip pointing at the center of the enemy's chest. The user's knees are slightly bent while they stay light on their toes, making movement faster and dodging easier. Techniques executed from this stance confer a [1] point increase to agility per rank of the technique. If a technique is executed from this stance and the user returns to this stance, they are not required to pay for it again until a new stance is taken.

▰ Blocking Stance | Rank X | Simple
The user stands in a front stance, their weapon held with two hands down by their hip. Their stance is more linear this time, with the blade held just off their body slightly to offer the opponent as little openings as possible. The blade crosses over the users midline, with the tip pointing at the enemies forehead. The user’s feet are firmly planted, making their strikes, blocks, and deflections have more power and effectiveness. Techniques executed from this stance confer a [1] point increase to endurance per rank of the technique. If a technique is executed from this stance and the user returns to this stance, they are not required to pay for it again until a new stance is taken.

▰ Crashing Wave | Rank X | Simple

Stage Two

▰ Twin Crests | Rank X | Simple
The user holds their blade to either side as they move forward to counter the target's attack. Pivoting with the execution of the counter or parry, the user moves the blade to the opposite side of the body which mimics the position of the first attack. Repeating the action, the user is able to create a secondary slash that strikes at the target whom they just countered while simultaneously defending themselves. This technique can be made complex when interacting with chakra based attacks.

▰ Crashing Wake | Rank X | Simple
The user channels chakra into their blade, slashing horizontally. After completing the horizontal slash the user continues by pivoting and dropping to a single knee, creating a circular slash from a lower position. The chakra within their blade creates a shock wave that extends five feet per rank of the technique during these slashes that sends opponents flying in the opposite direction and disorienting them, causing them to suffer a reduction in speed during their next post equal to the rank of the technique [-1 for E-C and -2 for B-S+].

▰ Rising Tide | Rank X | Complex
The user leaps ten feet into the air, creating a shock wave around their position that stumbles their enemies but does not throw them away. Using this disorientation, the user descends upon the target and cuts them top to bottom, immediately moving five feet per rank of the technique away instantly after the action in order to keep themselves from being surrounded.Those with the water element are able to create a wave of water upon leaping in addition to the concussive blast.

Stage Three

▰ Fluid Transition | Rank X | Spiritual
The user coats their blade in chakra. This effect can last until used or until the end of combat. The next ninjutsu that the user encounters at the rank of this technique or lower is reflected back at its source by simply making contact with this sword.

▰ Flowing Circle Stance | Rank X | Simple
The user, usually when surrounded by multiple opponents, will extend their weapon as far as then can then rotate their torso, even arching and extending behind them, utilizing their whole body to generate force while making a full 360 degrees of coverage. This is used to not only attack and defend against a group of attackers, but is also used to survey how many and from what direction the other enemies are coming from. This requires the user not move their feet from their position during the stance.
The user loses all stat bonuses to endurance and strength during this time but gains a [1] point increase to speed and agility while in this position.

▰ Whirlpool Walking | Rank C | Training
The user is now more adept at using circular footwork and can use it against multiple attackers, usually weaving between them, keeping them bumping into each other or simply getting in each others way, taking away any numerical advantage.

▰ Crashing Tide | Rank X | Spiritual
The user channels chakra into their blade. The chakra is visible and appears as though waves swirling around the blade. The user's strikes for the next two posts per rank of the technique are able to push a target off balance during clashes and knock them to the ground if unguarded

▰ Disarming Wave | Rank X | Simple
This technique is applied to a defensive technique's use when interacting with bukijutsu. The user does not pay an additional activation for this technique but simply adds on it's cost to the defense. The user's defensive technique is so overwhelming to the opponent that it causes them to lose control of their weapon. Disarming wave must be executed at the rank of the technique it is paired with.

▰ Breaking Wave | Rank X | Complex
The user channels chakra into their blade and meets an incoming attack head on, releasing the chakra at the time of the impact. This technique must be executed at one rank advantage in the user's favor. Once defended, the chakra releases a concussive blast that throws the opponent in the opposite direction violently five feet per rank. This causes them to bounce along the ground if undefended until reaching either a structure or completely taking the damage. If the user owns the water element they are able to send out water in place of the concussive blast, washing over the same range as the technique.

Stage Five

▰ Rip Tide | Rank X | Complex
The user holds their blade toward their foe and uses their opposite hand to support the blade. Channeling chakra into their attacks they release a furious volley of thrusts. For each rank of the technique the number of thrusts are increased by three. These thrusts can be divided among enemies or focused on a single enemy. The chakra that flows from the thrusts create sharp waves of chakra that impact those foes targeted. Foes stricken by an individual wave are effected by concussive damage that knocks them back five feet. This technique gains a [1] point increase in speed per rank of the technique.

▰ Move As Water | Rank A | Training
The user has dealt with so many situations being outnumbered that their ability to move in tight and confined spaces is greatly increased. The user’s blade work is tighter, relying on their body and footwork to generate force. The user’s footwork is so fluid that they are able to turn on a dime, making a combination of strikes go into multiple directions without interrupting the combination. Techniques that target multiple opponents may now have additional reserves paid in order to strengthen the effectiveness of the individual attack to the next highest rank.These can be paid individually, not requiring chakra or stamina to be paid for every split technique.

▰ Tsunami Crash | Rank A | Simple
The user deflects an oncoming strike, then presses forward into a fast and effective stab. Using tight circular footwork, the user continues the momentum and circles while jumping in the air, performing a powerful over the head vertical slash. Defending against this technique requires two activations. Has a two post cool down.

Stage Six

▰ Riptide | Rank S | Training
The user has learned that movement is life, and to stop moving is to die. By adding extra effort and urgency to their techniques, the user may perform more in a given motion than an untrained individual. In the Blocking Stance, the user may perform an extra defensive activation in a given post. In the Deflecting Stance, the user may perform an additional offensive activation each post. Each additional technique costs an extra 20 Chakra to perform and must be either basic combat or come from this Style.

▰ Disaster Wave | Rank S | Complex
The user charges their blade with chakra as they prepare to devastate their foes. Swinging their sword a single time horizontally across their body they release this massive surge of chakra. The chakra flows like a wave over a one hundred foot area before the user. The chakra upturns and destroys anything not nailed down as it moves across the land like a tsunami. If the user has the water element, it may be applied to this technique, turning the wave of chakra into water and expanding it's range by fifty feet and leaving a ten foot deep pool of water in the topic for five posts.

▰ Maelstrom | Rank S | Spiritual
The user exudes chakra from their entire body. This chakra creates a strong outward and constant pressure that makes approaching the user difficult. For four posts, those attacking the user must pay an additional B Rank amount of stamina to attack the user as it is nearly impossible to stand your ground while they are emitting this force from themselves.

In addition, the damage of such rapid blows extends beyond the target's body as the force continues in the form of a concussive blast that reaches out in a cone like wave from it's origin for 5 feet per rank the technique was used at.

Stage Four

▰ Fissure Smash | Rank A | Simple
The user strikes the ground or any other surface A Rank or below. The user's strike causes defensive ninjutsu to shatter while the ground when unaffected by chakra is targeted, the user's strike crushes the earth, creating a twenty five foot canyon extending from their fist in a straight line forward for fifty feet.

▰ Soul Smash | Rank X | Spiritual
The user channels chakra into their gauntlet as they launch their next technique from this style or any striking Taijutsu technique using the fist. Doing so does not consume an activation but requires chakra be paid equal to the rank of the technique being used in partnership with it. The striking technique used with this, instead of having it's physical force delivered upon impact is sent rocketing through the air in a straight line towards an opponent five feet for each rank of it's execution.

Stage Five

▰ Soul Striking | Rank X | Complex
The user channels chakra into their gauntlet, delivering a powerful strike on a target. The user's punch has the ability to destroy spiritual armors as well as genjutsu that may be affecting a target by flooding their chakra through the target upon impact. This strike is treated as spiritual when dealing with spiritual and chakra based armors as well as genjutsu.

▰ Buster Smash | Rank X | Complex
The user channels their chakra into their armored gauntlet as they thrust their open hands outward to combat an incoming projectile ninjutsu, spritual or complex technique. The user slams their armored hands into the attack with such force that it overwhelms the attack, causing it to be reflected back at it's source. This technique must be executed at one rank above the technique being countered.

Stage Six

▰ Void Smash | Rank X | Complex
The user channels chakra through their arms and gauntlet. The user then strikes at an opponent. This strike, should it come in contact with an armor technique or physical armor lower than it's own rank is able to strike at the body beneath the armor as though it were not present. This does not negate the opponent's armor or break it, merely passing by it for a single strike.

▰ Spirit of the Warrior | Rank S+ | Spiritual
The user channels chakra throughout their entire body, enhancing their speed and strength by [2] points for three posts.

▰▰▰ Description:
Sen Gekiretsu Nagareboshi is a style created by a small clan of smaller bodied individuals who could not wield the heavy weapons that their oppressors wielded to combat them. In response a woman named Akarui designed this style with precise and quick strikes, working to overwhelm the enemy with insane speed, agility, and accuracy. Users of this style use a Rapier; a thin and long sword used for trusting and piercing attacks and put not only speed but strength behind their attacks.

▰▰▰ Notes:
• All Simple techniques in this Style are treated as Complex when interacting with other techniques.
• Cannot be used by those unable to use elemental Chakra.
• Chakra elements' effects are as such:
- Raiton: Shock, numbness, and stiffness
- Katon: Burns and localized dehydration
- Fuuton: Conical chakra apparition around weapon, causes tons of small cuts upon impact
- Suiton: Larger cuts, contusions
- Doton: Causes bludgeoning damage.

Stage One

▰ Thrust | Rank X | Simple
The basis of most attacks. The user thrusts their rapier forward with one hand, moving their dominant foot in front of them to keep balance. A rapier technique done following this technique gains [1] point in speed per this technique’s rank.

▰ Backwards Thrust | Rank X | Simple
Taking a step back with the dominant foot, the user uses both hands to thrust the rapier backwards into a foe approaching from behind. Reduces armor to it's next lowest tier, ignoring light armor. The target suffers a [1] point decrease in endurance per rank of the technique.

▰ Fly Swatter | Rank E | Simple
In a quick movement with one hand, the user brings up the blunt point of the rapier in an arc like motion. This technique will not cut, but will sting like hell upon contact, causing the afflicted to lose an activation their following post.

▰ Sideward Parry | Rank X | Simple
Taking a small step to the side and bringing up the dull side of the rapier, the user lets the opponent's weapon slide along the blunt side of the sword. If used at or above the rank of the opponent’s attack, the opponent continues forward and falls flat on their face.The user gains a [1] point increase to agility per rank of the technique.

Stage Two

▰ Elemental Charge | Rank D | Training
The user channels one of their Chakra elements into their rapier for stronger and more interesting attacks. These channeled elements are clearly visible, forming an aura around the rapier's blade. Once this technique is learned, the user can charge and discharge their weapon as easily as breathing. Only one element can be used at a time, and once an element is applied to a weapon, all of the techniques used become complex. The strength of the effects are considered to be the rank of the accompanying technique.

▰ Dual Pierce | Rank X | Simple
The user quickly thrusts forward twice, putting their weight behind the strikes. These thrusts happen within such a small instance that the opponent has no time to react. The user has an enhanced [1] point speed for each rank of the technique while canceling the stat bonuses of the target for agility.

▰ "i" Strike | Rank X | Simple
The user rushes forward and thrusts towards the enemy. If the thrust is successful, the user quickly pulls out the weapon, then brings the Rapier's sharp edge up, slashing the enemy to add insult to injury. The blade will cut fairly deep, and the resulting wound will look like a lowercase I. If the first strike hits, so does the second one. Causes severe bleeding, resulting in the removal of [2] points in strength from all of the opponent’s physical techniques up to this technique’s rank. This effect stacks. Loss of stat boosts lasts 1 post per rank.

Stage Three

▰ Deflection | Rank X | Simple
Bringing up the Rapier, the user deflects a projectile heading towards them with the blunt side of the blade. This technique gains a [1] point boost to agility per rank.
• When using Nuibari, the user is able to send a needle tied to the weapon in a path that circles the target's legs, binding them together for no additional cost. Requires the target pay the cost of the technique in stamina to free themselves.

▰ First Falling Star | Rank X | Complex
The user leaps into the air, reaching 5 feet per rank of the technique. As they fall to the earth they prepare a thrust charged with chakra that glows with their chakra color. As they reach the target or ground and launch their thrust, a shock wave is sent out ten feet per rank of the technique executed. Elemental affects on this blade are infused into the shock wave, sending their damage type along with the blast.

▰ Charged Star's Fury | Rank X | Complex
The user rushes forward, thrusting twice. After each thrust, a chakra spear the length of the user's blade appears where the blade just was. After the inital two strikes, these chakra spears thrust towards the opponent. These two chakra spears are treated as spiritual attacks and dealt with separately from the original attack at one rank below it's execution.

▰ Star's Exploding Anger | Rank X | Complex
The user charges up their Chakra, then quickly pierces the ground with their rapier. Upon impact with the ground, the rapier discharges its element in to the ground, creating a wave of Chakra that explodes in every direction. The effect area is twenty five feet in diameter and the effects of this technique depend on what Chakra is used. Depletes any Chakra stored in the rapier, removing the effects of the charge from the user’s rapier for the remainder of the post.

Stage Four

▰ Unwavering Balance | Rank B | Training
After getting used to throwing their body around in many different directions and learning how their body twists and turns, a user can train this technique by perfecting their balance. This passive makes the user almost impossible to knock over: any techniques below the user’s body rank that attempt to do so fails to cause knock over.

▰ Star's Overwhelming Fury | Rank X | Complex
Like Charged Star's Fury, the user rushes the opponent. Then begins to stab forward with a Chakra-charged blade at [2] points increase in speed. The technique creates two chakra spears and an additional spear per rank of the technique executed. There are no pauses in between these thrusts and they can quickly overwhelm the opponent if not stopped. The chakra spears are able to be cast after the thrusts on the target. These spears are considered a seperate action for the opponent to defend against.

▰ Guard Breaker | Rank X | Complex
Standing in a stance with their feet at shoulder's width apart and the dominant foot slightly forward, the user holds their rapier slightly back about elbow high. This technique consumes two activations but it's focused pin point attack is well rewarding. This single attack doubles any strength bonuses the user has currently. This technique bypasses armor if used above the target's body rank.

Stage Five

▰ Dual Elemental Charge | Rank A | Training
An advanced version of the technique Elemental Charge. Instead of only being able to imbue their rapier and techniques with one element at a time, the use is now able to channel two Chakra natures in to their weapon. In addition, Kekkei Genkai that utilize two elements can be channeled through this weapon. The user is able to charge and discharge their weapon at will, but adding a second element to it consumes 10 Chakra.
• If using Nuibari with this training, the user is able to now weave wires from the weapon with each chakra spear created that attaches back to the weapon for no additional cost. These wires are also subject to elemental charge.

▰ Meteor Shower | Rank A | Spiritual
The user charges their rapier with Chakra, then points it up in to the air and discharges it, sending a beam of light high in to the sky. After one whole post, the light returns to the ground in the form of 100 chakra blades. These blades rain down around the user for thirty feet in any direction, impaling whatever they encounter. Defensive techniques are treated as one rank lower when interacting with the skill.

▰ Rage of the Exploding Star | Rank A | Complex
The user rushes the enemy with a charged rapier, and then once they are close enough they quickly thrust the rapier forward, causing an explosion of Chakra upon impact. This explosion of chakra creates a concussive blast that deafens all those within ten feet of the user and sends those within twenty feet flying for fifty feet. Those directly impacted by the explosion have a chunk of themselves blown away if undefended.

▰ Second Falling Star | Rank A | Complex
The user will charge their legs with Chakra and launch themselves in to the air and charge their rapier as they fall. Then as they fall they will thrust their rapier many times in to the air, sending a barrage of spears of light hurdling towards the ground at frightening speeds. These spears look like the after image of other techniques but are actually discharges of Chakra off the blade and are more than solid. Launches two spears per rank.

▰ Piercing Meteor Strike | Rank X | Spiritual
The user channels chakra into the blade of the rapier. Holding their weapon towards their target the rapier discharges chakra spears that are the size of the user's weapon. Two of these spears are launched per rank of the technique. This technique travels at [1] point increased speed per rank of the technique. Once pierced, the target must pay chakra equal to the rank of the technique to break free.
• When using Nuibari, these spears are replaced with complex needles connected by Nuibari's wire. The wire allows the user to retract the pierced target back to them for no additional cost.

Stage Six

▰ One Thousand Furious Flying Stars | Rank S | Spiritual
The user thrusts in to the air after charging up their weapon for 1 post (no other techniques used), and instead of launching spears of light, the spears of light float in the air as the user thrusts. Once the user has exactly a thousand floating spears of light, they slash in an arc with their weapon, sending the shards flying towards the opponent. Once these shards make contact, they explode in to huge Chakra explosions that have a diameter of 5 meters each, and the spears can fly for 15 meters. The effect of these explosions depend on what type of Chakra is being used in the attack. Consumes three activations (a full post’s worth).

▰ One Thousand Furious Falling Stars | Rank S+ | Complex
The user charges up their weapon and their entire body for an entire post, not using any other techniques. Once the charging is complete, the user launches themselves high in to the air, and then begins thrusting thousands upon thousands of times towards the earth below, sending one hundred and fifty spears of chakra measuring ten feet in length a piece hurdling to the ground below. The spears are bright enough that viewing them with the naked eye causes 2 posts of temporary blindness. The targeted area can be anywhere in a one hundred and fifty foot radius around the user, and the technique is executed at a [4] point increase in speed.
• When using Nuibari, the user's chakra spears are connected by a chakra like thread that bind targets beneath them within the topic in a chakra net equal to the rank of the technique.

▰▰▰ Description:
The Gunbai is a solid fan used by nobles and military officers on the battlefield, typically as a defense against projectiles and the sun. For this reason, it is seen as a weapon made for the soft, even though there have been a few notable warriors who used them. Despite the scorn directed toward its use, the gunbai's use by the wealthy ensured that tomes of techniques were well-preserved, and recently several were collected and released to display the weapon's utility as a defensive and support tool. Time will tell if the gunbai's reputation recovers.

▰▰▰ Notes:
• Gunbai are solid fans, typically made of metal and/or wood. This means they cannot fold, and as such are incompatible with any fan techniques that require or assume folding.
• Gunbai are one handed techniques, allowing them to be used with other one handed weapons.
• The user may combine gunbai techniques with one handed weapon techniques from another style or basic combat techniques for a single activation once every other post.•


▰▰▰ Style Creation Credits:
• Kondo Kaicho

Stage One

▰ Firm Blockade | Rank X | Simple
The user slings their Gunbai in front of their body, using their shoulder to brace it and blocks an incoming attack. For ranks D-B this technique rewards one stat increase in endurance, while ranks A-S reward two.

▰ Cross Wind | Rank X | Simple
The user slings their fan across their body, throwing enemies away with a concussive blast of wind that expands five feet per rank of the technique. If the user has access to the wind element, this technique can be made complex, applying the element and expanding the range by an additional five feet every other rank while removing heat related hazards by one dose per rank of the technique.

Stage Two

▰ Volley of Arrow | Rank X | Spiritual
The user raises their gunbai, expelling chakra through the wide surface of their gunbai. The chakra expelled takes the shape of a volley of arrows as it blasts forth from the user's weapon and pierces targets within thirty feet with five arrows per rank of the technique. These chakra arrows dissipate after striking an enemy. Additionally, the user can cast this technique to augment an allies bow attack by casting it at the rank of the technique. Doing so causes simple attacks to become spiritual as the arrows fired are doubled by the user's spiritual application.

▰ Commander's Glory | Rank X | Complex
The user blocks against an attack, using the large surface area of the fan as a shield. While doing so, the user charges the Gunbai with chakra that causes it's glossy surface to capture all light reflected upon it and intensify it. This causes temporary blindness to all who look upon the fan for three posts. If used to deflect a light based technique,the hazards of the clan are reflected back at their caster as though they were not their own technique.

Stage Three

▰ Break the Line | Rank X | Simple
The user uses both hands, swinging their gunbai and striking the target with the thin edge of the weapon. The impact of such a small surface area with the weight of the weapon causes it to treat armor as one tier lower when interacting with it, throwing targets back five feet per rank of the technique.

▰ Landslide | Rank X | Complex
The user slams the flat of their gunbai downward, slapping the earth while expelling chakra from it. The chakra being released from the giant fan like weapon smashes the earth before it, sending debris with a concussive blast outward in a cone shape that expands ten feet per rank of the technique. The debris and rubble being thrown impact the targets with a great force, reducing their endurance one point when used with ranks D-B, and two points when used ranks A-S.

Stage Four

▰ Commander's Might | Rank B | Complex
The user slings their gunbai across their body, deflecting an incoming physical attack. When the gunbai impacts a weapon or physical attack, any stat increases the opponent's strength has active are reflected back upon them, adding to the user's own. Any additional effects of a technique used upon the user that are deflected are mirrored upon the target with this defensive action.

▰ Matching Tactic | Rank X | Complex
The user fans their weapon before them, reflecting projectile and projectile ninjutsu of its rank and lower back at their sources that are within five feet of the user per rank of the technique. Must be used at the rank of the attack reflected.

Stage Five

▰ Reinforcements | Rank X | Spiritual
The user raises their gunbai, expelling chakra through the wide surface of their gunbai. The chakra expelled takes the shape of a volley of arrows as it blasts forth from the user's weapon and pierces targets within thirty feet with five arrows per rank of the technique. These chakra arrows dissipate after striking an enemy. Additionally, the user can cast this technique to augment an allies bow attack by casting it at the rank of the technique. Doing so causes simple attacks to become spiritual as the arrows fired are doubled by the user's spiritual application.

▰ First Blood | Rank X | Complex
The user hurls their gunbai at a target, infusing the weapon with chakra before releasing it. The chakra it carries allows it to move with one stat of enhanced speed when thrown at ranks D-B, and two stats in speed when used at technique rank A-S. Upon contact, the gunbai creates a concussive explosion that expands five feet per rank of the technique, stunning those within it's range and removing all agility stats from the targets hit for their next post.

Stage Six

▰ Flames of War | Rank S | Complex
The user swings downward with the gunbai as though fanning someone, but uses all their might to do so. At the bottom of the swing, Chakra flies off of the gunbai that creates a concussive blast along the ground five feet in range per rank of the technique that knocks foes from their feet. If the user has the fire element, this can be used as a fiery explosion that travels along the ground, throwing the foe to the ground and scorching their bodies.

▰ Field Presence | Rank S | Spiritual
The user plants their feet in a wide stance, raising their gunbai above their head. While this technique is active, the user may not move from this spot. During this five post duration, allies within sight of the user gain access to all stat bonuses the user may have. Should the user move their feet or lower their weapon, the technique is negated.

▰▰▰ Description:
One of the more unconventional weapons however most popular among sealers and those of the Ukyo clan is the Brush. Sumi-Efude capitalizes on an individuals ability to be patient and seek for an opportune time after building a greater understanding of a target. As such many of its techniques center around gaining this focus. Those who are practitioners of the style will gain in both mental and physical endurance.

Originating from collective sealers who often needed to reproduce fuuin symbols hastily despite being under pressure from a physically attacking Melee Combatant who continued to apply pressure. As such the style is best complimented by fuuin users.

▰▰▰ Notes:
• Requires a calligraphy brush or any kind of paint brush.
• Brush-based basic combat is treated as Complex for interacting with other techniques.
• Simple techniques in this Style are treated as Complex for interacting with other techniques.
• If used with ink-based Jutsu, any Chakra costs of techniques in this Style are reduced by half to a minimum of 5 Chakra.
• Practitioners of this Style reduce the cost of [Concentrations] by [5] per rank of the [Concentration] {min. 5}

Stage One

▰ Wafting Stroke | Rank X | Complex
A simple stroke of the brush, designed to deflect an incoming attack. If the attack made was a ninjutsu the deflected attack may then be sealed appropriately in an available container equal to the rank of the techniques use.

▰ Elemental Inkwell | Rank X | Spiritual
Imparts one of the users known nature elements on the brush. The brush is then treated as that element for a number of posts equal to the rank of chakra expended starting at 1 at E-rank. The imbued element allows the brush and its techniques to be treated as said element when determining the elemental weakness and superiority of counter-balancing.


Stage Two

▰ Wayward Stroke | Rank X | Complex
Requiring ink to be on the brush after performing a stroke or coming into contact with an opponents weapon unless they are using an anchoring technique or spending an appropriate amount of stamina equal to the rank of this technique the weapon then becomes disarmed. Each rank over any anchoring technique active on an opponent's weapon or after they've become disarmed, confers a rank of [Concentration] increase. Suffice to say if there was no anchoring technique this accumulates a large amount of concentration. This [Concentration] lasts until the end of the next post. I.e {X Attacks with a B-rank attack, Y blocks with an A-rank Wayward Stroke. They gain an E-rank amount of concentration that following post}

▰ Emboldened Brush | Rank X | Spiritual
Empowers the brush in hand preventing it from being destroyed or suffer [Degradation] by anything less than the rank used to strengthen it. The brush may also not be disarmed. The head of the brush may then reproduce the effects of slashing and piercing when utilizing its tip and blunt force and shearing when using the rest of the heads bristles.


Stage Three

▰ Black Burden | Rank X | Complex
When ink is present on the brush this technique increases the inks density. When making contact with an object such as a weapon or armor, the item is stained black and will no longer provide its stat bonuses. {This does not apply to living things or people} This stain may be removed with alcohol but will spread if exposed to water. Lasts for [2] posts per rank of the technique or until removed appropriately.

▰ Punishing Stroke | Rank X | Complex
When swinging the brush if having something sealed within a container prior during the attack the sealed technique, item, etc can be ejected simultaneously upon making contact with a surface or after a brief delay at the end of the swing. The rank of the sealed technique object or item amount being released must be equal to or greater than the strength of the initial swing. Ink must be present on the brush as the ink is what comprises the necessary fuuin during the swing. The user pays for both the cost of the swing and the cost of release. i.e a Rank B Punishing Stroke the user can Pay and additional B-rank amount to release a previously sealed B-rank technique at the same time thus not consuming an activation.

▰ Inkwell of Spirit | Rank X | Spiritual
Coats the brush in a black ink made of chakra if other inks are available say sealed within a scroll or capable of being made i.e Ukyo or Hojo these inks may also be used imparting any associated costs with those inks if any. The amount of Ink on the Brush replenishes automatically three times per rank, four-times if using a small brush. This ink is ideal for producing the shapes of fuuinjutsu making fuuinjutsu used in tandem with this ink cost [10] less to reproduce.


Stage Four

▰ Soul Seeking Bristles | Rank X | Complex
The user spins their brush like one spins a staff in one hand. This spinning motion causes the bristles to extend forming a shield of thin brush bristles which deflect attacks of its rank or lower so long as its sustained. These bristles when struck then relays information about techniques and the target, back to the user as if it were probing for information. For each rank over the blocked techniques, this technique confers the user one rank worth of concentration. This [Concentration] lasts until the end of the next post. {see Wayward Stroke for example}

▰ Brush Away | Rank X | Complex
The user draws a single stroke with ink on a chakra formation of some kind, i.e armor or incoming attack. Techniques without a duration are dispersed immediately, and those with duration's greater than [1] post are dispersed on the beginning of the target’s following turn. Can only affect techniques of the same rank or lower. Requires ink on the brush.

▰ Effulgent Mind and Body | Rank X | Simple
The user employs all of the info they have gathered over the battle to increase their odds of survival. Allows the user to convert Stamina into Chakra at a rate equal to the rank of Concentration used. For a period of [3] posts the user may use their Stamina rather than their Chakra to perform techniques that would require Chakra.


Stage Five

▰ Ink Blade Edge : Dividing Strokes | Rank X | Spiritual
The user will produce an image in the air between 1-4 strokes. The ink will remain suspended in the air stationary for a number of posts equal to [1] per rank of the technique. The ink then cuts anything it comes into contact with as though they were blades. The ink is treated as [1]-rank less for the purpose of inflicting damage. These strokes and drawings cannot be destroyed except with a technique one rank higher than what was used to produce them. Techniques that collide with the strokes so long as they are above the rank of its damage can bypass the image unimpeded but it will remain in place. Requires ink to be on the brush.

▰ True Concentration | Rank Null | Concentration
Transfers the strength of one's body to enhance the mental acuity of the user. Essentially this would be considered using one's mind to the fullest of its extent. Doubles the stat gain from a [Concentration]. Can only be used once per turn. The enhancements gained by True Concentration end the beginning of the next post unless used again. Extremely strenuous, prevents gathering [Concentration] the post it ends and the post after it ends.


Stage Six

▰ Stroke of Genius | Null Rank | Training
The user may mold and reproduce any ink techniques in this style without the need of hand signs. Additionally, fuuin can be reproduced with the brush and ink without requiring hand signs. Allows [Concentration] to gain an additional [1] stat increase per rank of the [Concentration]

▰ Stroke of Enlightenment | Rank X | Complex
Using this technique is as if gathering normal [Concentration]. The user can choose mirror their [Concentration] bonus to an ally as an [Active Increase] so long as they are within sight. Increases the duration of [Concentration] not gained in a style by [1] additional post. Concentration can break ones caps but only to a maximum of [9]

From this stance, the user is able to swing their weapon with a [1] point increase to their power while suffering a [1] point decrease in speed. This stance may not be used two consecutive posts in a row due to the weight of the weapon and needing to readjust their weapon.


Stage Two

▰ Spiraling Meteor | Rank X | Complex
The user slams their weapon downward, releasing a blast of chakra at the last moment. This blast of chakra propels the user five feet into the air per rank, performing a flip with each rank applied on the way back to the ground.

This technique does not require an activation when used with techniques from this style.


Stage Five

▰ Crown Splitter | Rank X | Complex
The user channels chakra over the blunt object, creating a chakra blade over it that forms in the shape of an ax. The weapon is swung at the opponent, commonly aimed at the head to split the target in half. When impacting a target, the chakra blade automatically reduces the cost of the technique it is combating form the user's reserves, cancelling out the attack and striking with the force of the technique's original cost at the target.

▰ Fallen Strength | Rank A | Training
The user's monstrous strength allows them to wield their hammer with a single hand, freeing their second hand for various tasks. Techniques of this style along with basic combat weapon techniques for this style of weapon are able to be used with a single hand.

▰ Catastrophic Collision | Rank S+ | Complex
The user channels chakra into their weapon, hurling it skyward and vanishing from sight. The weapon remains in flight and it's intensive spinning makes it hard to track it's motions,even with dojutsu. The hammer remains in flight for the remainder of this post and the next. Upon the following post, the hammer returns to earth, glowing with a fiery intensity from it's friction against the atmosphere. As it reaches the earth it finds itself directed at the target. Even if dodged, this attack has catastrophic effects on the area. The ground upon impact is shattered, creating a two hundred foot crater that smolders with heat, burning anyone who enters it. Additionally, the area within the topic is subject to crumbling structures as an earthquake dismantles the surroundings and churns the earth.

The Arcane Knight Order, founded in the Land of Crimson, a long forgotten land only known as the Crimson State today. The craft of one handed weapons and shield was directly named after the Order itself. The Arcane Order, a brotherhood of Knights who once were tasked by their King to keep the use of Ninjutsu in check by those who would abuse it. When they became overzealous in their policing of chakra, the people revolted, driving not only the order, but the land it hailed from into the furthest reaches of the earth. Those who have learned the Arcane Knight Order's arts are adept in an overwhelming offense and defense simultaneously as they channel their chakra through their actions with the one handed weapon and shield.

Stage Four

▰ Banishing Blade [ Tsuihō Tsrugi ] | Rank X | Spiritual
The user's weapon glows bright as they channel chakra into it, creating luminous runes over the weapon. The weapon utilizes the user's chakra to seal chakra that it impacts away that is equal to it's rank and power. Doing so causes the chakra it interacted with to be stowed inside the blade for 1 post per rank of this technique. As an action, the user may release the chakra at any target of their choosing, potentially throwing a ninjutsu or bloodline element back at it's caster. Additionally, this this impacts a foe directly, the blade siphons that chakra off and converts it to stamina to be taken in by the user.

Stage Six

▰ Archaic Dominance [ Arukaikku Shihai ] | Rank S | Complex
The user strikes the ground beneath them with their shield or weapon. The ground is then painted with a giant arcane symbol that stretches across a two hundred foot radius.

▰▰▰ Description:
A true warrior is blessed to have mastered the ability to efficiently wield a single sword for the embrace of combat. A gifted prodigy is capable of wielding two blades simultaneously without sacrificing power, agility, or form. But few can speak of themselves to be capable of wielding hundreds of blades in the heat of battle.Rather than relying on a single good quality blade the user makes use of hundreds of katana scattered around the battlefield. The user should not care about the quality of the blades they use, but instead focus on using a variety of moves making use of a single blade, or even multiple blades at the same time.
Because of their reliance on so many blades scattered around the battlefield the user almost always has a blade, or multiple blades handy for use. The user uses their 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.

▰▰▰ Notes:
• Requires the user carry a sword case that holds at least six physical blades within it. The case is lined with fuuinjutsu inscriptions that hold an additional Ninety Four. This is annotated on the profile as below.

[Infinite One Sword Case: x1 ]

▰▰▰ Style Creation Credits:
• Regalina Kaicho
• Kondo Kaicho


Stage One

▰ Fields of War | Rank E | Spiritual
This technique is the most necessary technique above all to learn in order to execute the Infinite One-Sword style. The user user throws their large pack of sheathed katana into the air and forms a tiger hand seal. A large cloud of smoke erupts from the pack and all of the case's swords are unsealed from within and descend upon the battlefield, littering the area in about one hundred and fifty swords. The released swords are scattered randomly throughout the immediate area and stick out of the ground with only a few inches of their blades burrowed into the ground. Swords scattered by this technique rarely strike enemies during descent unless the battlefield is congested. A bright yellow caution tape that reads "KEEP OUT" in an even pattern is extended around the immediate area, wrapping around thin structures and even a few of the scattered blades. The tape serves no purpose on its own other than to seem oddly restricting to foes within its bounds. With a tiger hand seal the user can reseal any number of their swords back into the case they were summoned from. .

▰ Three Shining Paths | Rank D | Simple
The user grabs onto three of their swords and throws them into the ground or a vertical surface creating a path. Then running along these swords the user grabs onto a fourth one and uses it to directly attack the opponent from an elevated position.

▰ Sword Fang | Rank D | Simple
The user begins this attack by hitting three swords that had been previously positioned standing within striking distance to the user. By simultaneously hitting these swords near their partially burrowed tips with an incredibly fast swing of the user’s blade in hand, it causes all three of them to slash upwards.

▰ Feign Counter | Rank C | Simple
The user swings the sword currently in-hand into an oncoming attack or opponent at full force, applying the speed and precision that they have trained for. Even if this attack is blocked, the raw power built up from the attack's momentum will land a bludgeoning blow upon the opponent's body as if they had been hit by the dull edge of the katana. The user's strength is increased by [1] during the execution of this technique.


Stage Two

▰ Super Chop | Rank C | Simple
The user rears the sword that they currently have in hand back then swings it at full force into an incoming attack or opponent with impressive speed and power. This attack carries enough force and momentum to dent or bend solid steel and cleave through wood, making it able to easily shatter bones.

▰ Restrictive Current | Rank C | Spiritual
Forming a single hand-sign, the yellow caution tape distributed throughout the immediate battlefield by the Fields of War (or Bloody Fields of War) technique is imbued with durability bolstering chakra so that the tape can actually act to hold others within and outside of the ongoing fight. The tape cannot be cut or damaged by outside forces and only jutsu that are B-rank or higher can break the tape. This added durability endures for five posts before needing to be repaid.

▰ Binding Swipe | Rank B | Complex
The user grabs one of the swords that has the "KEEP OUT" caution tape tied to it from the outskirts of the battlefield and rushes at their opponent. As they near the opponent, the tape will be dragged into position to tighten around the enemy, binding them from neck to ankle in the tape. The binding endures for three posts unless a B Rank or higher technique is used to break out. The user must maintain a single hand on the tape or sword with tape bound to it to upkeep this technique.


Stage Three

▰ Vertical Line | Rank B | Complex
A continuation of the Sword Fang Technique. All three swords momentarily hover in the air from the prior technique, where the user will then proceed to use the current sword in their hand to sequentially hit each blade, thereby launching each of them directly at the enemy. For the duration of the technique, the user's speed is increased by [2].

▰ Nimble Rush | Rank A | Spiritual
Forming a hand sign, all swords on the battlefield and the user's feet radiate a thin veil of chakra for five of the user's posts. As long as the user moves about the battlefield via treading along the hilts of the swords or between any two swords, their movement speed is increased by [2]. This allows for the user to maneuver to and from the opponent and to anywhere else on the battlefield in nimble blurring motions.


Stage Four

▰ Addition | Rank A | Complex
Channeling chakra into their body in order to make rapid, blurring movements before anyone within sight, the user attacks the opponent a total of twelve times in rapid succession. Each of the attacks are stricken from various angles, slicing the opponent from all sides; should the first strike land, the remainder are ensured to be successful. With each strike the opponent is left stunned by the impressive power and the sword is left behind attached to the opponent's body where the blade made contact by a chakra bond that remains until the user's next post or if the opponent breaks out by paying a B Rank amount of chakra. Utilizing this skill requires two activation due to it's strenuous assault.

▰ Multiplicaiton | Rank A | Complex
This is a follow-up to the Addition technique. While the opponent is still impaled by the previous twelve strikes, the user attacks once again, striking these remaining swords with their blade in hand so as to repeat the succession of movements performed previously. This results in doubling the attack damage that was already done, as it cuts the opponent with the twelve swords all over again, digging deeper and causing the target to bleed profusely, ignoring endurance and lowering agility for the remainder of the fight.

▰ Bloody Fields of War | Rank B | Complex
This technique is a more perfected version of the first technique to the Infinite One-Sword style, Fields of War. The only difference is that this technique is developed to more accurately set the user's swords about the battlefield. This technique's precision is so great that the swords can be directed to land where the user wishes, requiring an additional hand sign to properly mold the chakra. More often than not, it is used to rain the blades directly upon foes to reduce enemies earlier into a fight. Like the Fields of War technique, this technique must be used before any fighting with the Infinite One-Sword style can begin. The "KEEP OUT" caution tape is also still distributed around the immediate battlefield upon this technique's execution.


Stage Five

▰ Disorderly Line | Rank A | Complex
The user initiates this technique by charging their current in-hand sword with their chakra then spinning the sword in hand in a series of circular motions, striking any and all of their swords in the area. By doing so the user is able to keep the several swords floating around him on their centrifugal paths, using them to conduct numerous other attacks, while integrating even more swords as he continues. The spinning stricken blades will not only hang in the air but will also orbit around the user for five total posts, shredding anyone who attempts to approach the user. The technique itself is extremely versatile, combining both a powerful defense with an overwhelming offense, while still retaining the ability to effortlessly switch between the two. Should an opponent attack while this technique is active, the technique may defend against techniques of it's own rank and lower. Should a technique of equal rank be used to attack the user, the technique's cost must be paid again to sustain it.

▰ Burst Raid | Rank A | Complex
The user runs at their opponent and begins to swing their blade at the target. Just before the user would make contact or clash with the enemy they will suddenly build up their chakra in their body to instantly increase their speed. The user will suddenly blur out of sight as they bypass the enemy, cleaving into them as they move around the opponent. The user's movement goes unseen to those with a [2] point agility stat difference to the user's speed stat. Those with agility higher than that will perceive the movement as blurred, those with a [2] point difference in their favor will see the action as normal.

▰ Overwhelming Edge | Rank A | Simple
This technique is used to counter oncoming projectiles or jutsu. The user takes a split moment to analyze the apparent flow of the incoming attack. They angle a powerful, quick, and extremely precise cut against the opposing attack, slicing through the air in such a way that it creates a vacuum of space that tears the attack apart as the air violently attempts to fill the gap, thus scissoring anything that passes into the vacuum. Techniques that are A-rank or lower will be cleaved in halves around the user, normal projectiles will be shattered by the user's skillful power. When interacting with ninjutsu, this technique is treated as spiritual.


Stage Six

▰ Ultimate Slash | Rank X | Complex
The user angles the sword currently in hand and aims a swift and precise cut at an incoming projectile attack/jutsu while coating their blade with chakra. Thanks to the level of fluent skill in applied power, speed, and accuracy by this stage of the Infinite One-Sword style, the user will have the ability needed to throw the attack/jutsu back unto their opponent along with a pushing wave of air. When interacting with ninjutsu, this technique is treated as spiritual.

▰ Riot Carousel | Rank S | Spiritual
This is a follow-up to the Disorderly Line technique. All blades that have been suspended into the user's "orbit" by the Disorderly Line technique increase the speed in which they revolve around the user by a [2] point amount. The user ceases to spin their chakra-infused sword and swings it straight out, releasing the gathered momentous force and the chakra stored in the blade unto the area. In response, all of the orbiting blades are sent outward as an expanding wall of spinning blades that will shred anyone or anything in their path, leveling the area before landing back into the ground with the swords sticking a few inches into the terrain. This technique mulches techniques of it's own rank and lower.

▰ Sharpened Widespread Devastation | Rank S+ | Spiritual
All of the user's swords (except the one currently in-hand) begin to explosively radiate the user's chakra as this technique is charged for the first post. In the following post the user should begin to spin their sword that is currently in-hand to prepare a personal defense for what is to come. All of the blades release the charged chakra into fifty foot towers of destructive energy that then move toward the enemy from all angles. Once gathered together the towers fuse and further release their power unto the area, leveling everything within the topic. The need for the user to spin their blade toward the explosion will be enough for the user to avoid also being destroyed in the midst of the blast and anyone directly behind them.

▰▰▰ Description:
Armor is frowned upon by the Shinobi world. There are certainly those Shinobi who still wear armors, but these defenses are typically light, since stealth plays a great role in many of the missions that they run. Outside of the samurai traditions, any sort of medium or heavy armor is frowned upon or ignored completely, since it's unwieldy, loud, does a poor job of protecting against Ninjutsu, and a questionable job of protecting against a skilled weapons user. Put quite frankly, the widespread sentiment at the time of this Style's founding was that armor had no place on a Shinobi. The founders of the Soko Sento style took exception to this train of thought, arguing that Shinobi were just too weak and foolhardy to learn how to use armor properly. Over the course of a decade, they honed their arts in secret, searching for the most effective way to cover the flaws in their armors. The school has since opened to the public, boasting that the masters of its teachings would never know harm. Time will tell how truthful this statement is.
