Sunagakure's Butcher

There's a beast in every man and it stirs when you put a sword in his hand.

Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, they cling to the realm or the gods or love. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.

Knives had been watching San once he had learned the first stage of Jing Shen Jie Fang. It seemed that he was catching up to Knives. Ah but what was to be expected of one who was a whole two ranks above him. He nodded at Aioko and directed for a student to attack him as he worked angles. Knives would move in a circle to not only side step but get close to his opponent moving in a way that gave him the most advantageous line of attack. This time he started with his blades already out, in his hands he moved around and around keeping always on his feet moving quickly to kill.

Once Knives believed that he had an understanding of moving he took his time to parry the attack that the student launched at him and he would block and for the purposes of the training only disarm his student. It was bad form after all to maim your own fellow ninja, even worse so if they were students. Knives continued with his blades until the movement was normal for him. Once he felt comfortable with blades, he put them away and moved to the unarmed portion of the technique. This is where Knives weight was helpful, for when he parried with his arm with the brush block and attacking the limb the results were brutal. Luckily for the student Knives was going slow and just getting the motion otherwise the student might have been thrown even more off balance due to Knives strength. Knives moved his body until he was able to feel the movement as one simple quick strike with his hands disarming the opponent and envisioning ways in which he could use his other styles in tandem with this combo.

Knives returned to practicing his stance and moved to the other combo and Aioko had mentioned. It was called Tall Grass-Short Grass combo. The name seemed to explain everything about this combo. While he was unarmed he would continue to use his circles to get around his opponent and use a hammer fist strike to the head and then his already chained arms to attack the legs, causing even worse problems for whom ever might he attacking him. Knives was enjoying these one two combos, as they would become invaluable to him. Knives continued to work the hammer fist and ridge hand strike to attack from above and below.

Once he was comfortable with the use of his hands without blades he pulled out his blades and began the combination with his blades. Using circular motion he attacked low at the thighs of a dummy and a blow to the head. With his strength the blow to the head would probably take off the top of someone's head. The blow to the thigh would most likely get at least to an artery and cause an opponent to bleed out quickly. Knives can see how deadly this technique was going to be for his opponents.

'Yes and then you can feed them to me and grow even more powerful!!

'You know, some days you scare me a bit there buddy.'

Knives knew he was no done with this stage just yet. He needed to practice it with his chains extended as well, other wise what good where a Butcher's Hooks without expertise in using his tools of the trade?! Knives once again let out his blade with a clink and swung them in a similar manner as the technique required as if the blades were still within his hands. Once he had gotten the hang of it he increased his pulled on the chains to cause them to swing faster and harder at the dummy he was practicing on. Eventually he was able to cut through the legs and the head of the dummy with clean and straight cuts. Knives smiled darkly enjoying the almost animalistic attack that this style was.

San took his iron sand, and then made 4 additional swords with it. Taking his weapons, he then performed calligraphy with the five weapons. Satisfied, he continued on to stage 5.

Upon observing the use of the chain weapon, the sannin gave a quick remark to Knives. It wasnt every day a buki genious cam around like this.

"Knives, that weapon design is pure brilliance."

San then took his weapon and focused his intent in his swing. The air current due to the perfection of the cut added distance to the blade in each direction.

San jumped back on the wire, and figured he would practice moving around on it. It was really interesting, the ability to focus on ones balance to perform almost unbelievable feats of buki performance. The old Dog was apperently feeling like a younger dog again.

The ninja went from right to left, and left to right with sweeping motions with his blade. He then tried his circle walking along with it. This was such an interesting concept!

"Those chains are crazy useful! Wow, you will be one hell of a master Knives! The next combo strikes involves two low strikes, designed to clear the weapons away defensively and offensively. You have a double horizontal strike, being a major part of the styles offense. If you wish, yo can then perform a quick snap kick, designed to mess up the opponents defense and flow. "

show spoilerhide spoiler

Clearing Short Grass Combo
Rank: Physical :: D-C
Description: The user takes their weapon and performs two low swipes, able to start with either a inward horizontal strike or an outward horizontal strike much like they are clearing jungle grass. This technique can be performed as an offensive attack or a defensive maneuver to clear away, block, or parry incoming weapons. Unarmed, this is performed as a inward forearm strike and an outward hammer fist/elbow.
• If in "Two Spirit Stance" the user can perform this technique twice for one stamina cost, once with each weapon. The user must train each rank individual, and performing it at that level cost that rank in stamina.

Clearing Jungle Combo
Rank Physical :: D-C
Description: This is a combination of 2 horizontal slashes, going from inside to outside or outside to inside. Unarmed, this is performed with a hook punch/inward horizontal elbow and a back fist/outward linear elbow.
• If in "Two Spirit Stance" the user can perform this technique twice for one stamina cost, once with each weapon. The user must train each rank individual, and performing it at that level cost that rank in stamina.

Snap Kick
Rank Physical :: D-C
Description: In the jungle, due to unsure footing, kicks are not mainly used or performed due to the possibility of falling, being taken down, and being ganged up on. Jing Shen Jie Fang too the idea of quick, accurate, and ferocious striking, not taking too much reliance on the legs to attack. This kick, it be a round house kick or stomp kick, is done in a quick snapping motion, looking for more speed then crushing power. Although they can hurt and cause injury, the kicks are usually designed to interrupt the opponents attack, or off balance them to allow the user to continue their ferocious attack.
• This technique is usable during "Into the wild" and counts as one of the techniques combinations.

There's a beast in every man and it stirs when you put a sword in his hand.

Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, they cling to the realm or the gods or love. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.

'Oh look it's calling you by your real name, cute.
'Must you always be so negative?'

Master indeed, sadly there were too many styles for one shinobi to know. But Knives would at least master the new age of weaponry at the same time remember the old ways of swordsman ship. Knives pulled back his blades quickly, thanks to the gauntlet and his own strength the chain was moving to the point where many of the students were unable to keep up with the action. He resumed his stance and practiced clearing the short grass with his hands, he was glad he had a student who knew how to form earth barriers on himself as he used his forearm against the arms of his opponent to clear and block the attacks of his student. Every now and then the force would cause the student to take a break and Knives understood that, he really needed to make his own earth clones eventually. Knives continued to move and progress quickly pushing himself and even overcoming the slowness that was setting in from the sand lines that had appeared on his arms a few days prior.

He didn't think San knew about his progression with the Demon, no one did as far as he knew, but that wasn't going to last for very long he figured. He pulled one of his blades and continued the style with a single blade moving to clear the weapon of his opponent. He also practiced using the attack to disarm the blade of his attacker the sound of metal against metal would be in the dojo for many hours he believed but it would be well worth it.

Knives moved into the other attack form he had been taught. It was a fairly simple move for an offensive attack. A simple in and out slash with the blade. HOwever, the attack could be alternated and the sheer force and speed that went into these attacks is what caused them to be deadly. The force would be enough to cut deep into the muscle of an opponent and send it quickly. While Knives practiced that he attempted to work on his snap kick as well. One of the greatest things that one can do is disrupt your opponent's flow of attack. Nothing was worse or more aggravating. The kick however, was a quick one though knives already power gave it some more power than it may have originally suppose to have but it was still quick enough to cause disruption amongst the attacker.

Knives put away his blade and attempted the previous attacks unarmed. Unarmed the hooks and elbows were just as brutal as with a sharpened blade. The bruising that Knives was giving out was only lessened by the stone armor the student was able to put up on himself. He felt somewhat bad for the students that had been volunteers and he figured he take them out for Ramen or something later as a thanks for allowing him to make them meat bags while he trained. He continued until he was able to flow from a kick into an attack upon his opponent the amount of time he was picking up amazed even himself.

'Oh whoop dee do, you can kick and slash things. But that's nothing compared to the power of a true ninja!
'Excuse me? I think you and I are in for a chat, but if this is not true ninja, perhaps you can show me what a 'true ninja' really is and what kind of power you might actually possess huh?!'

San continued his training, this time with a defensive technique. the block was a super effective one, able to take and lead the enemy out and away from their frame. Once their were off angled, San could then take them out.

When the dummy attacked him, the sannin performed the technique. he connected with the blade, then arched it away from him. He was excited to see that it worked!

Staying attached, San lead the blade away from him, and out of the range of the user. He could even perform a quick disarm. Satisfied, San continued with the next technqiue.

The next techniwue was a a defensive one, one that was rather interesting to the bukijutsu world. It would involve a defensive technique that would allow San to swing a blade to negate a ninjutsu. With this in mind, san would be better able to defend it as well.

San would have the little kid do the fireball technique at him. Taking his own blade, San readied himself. Once the technque made it his way, he would swing it.

The blade went clear through, and the jutsu was nullified around him. Fantastic! This was some seriously cool stuff. With that, San was almost complete with stage 5.

"Good Job! The next principle is a little more interesting, called sticking and tracking. The idea is to use any partof your body, even your weapons to stay attached to your opponent and control them. Use your blades to brush off the enemies attack, and gain superior positioning. If they use a strong circular attack, try using the flats of your blade to help defend, making a wall in front of you. "

show spoilerhide spoiler

Principle: Sticking and Tracking
Description: When in the jungle, gaining control of your opponent is crucial. The longer the battle continues, the longer it has the chance of continuing. If you cant see your opponent, then you cant fight the opponent. The user must train to utilize their body as a form of sensory unit gaining a sensitivity to feeling pressure and movement as they attach to their opponent. By attempting to obtain constant contact with the opponent, with multiple points of attachment, the user is better able to combat a single opponent by transitioning from technique to technique while staying attached to the opponent.

Blending the Jungle Combo
Rank Physical :: C
Description: Using body blending footwork, the user angles of the avenue of attack. When utilizing two weapons, the user performs a brush block parry with them, either to the inside or outside of the opponents attack. When using a single weapon, the user can either brush with their hand or their weapon depending on the enemies attack. With their empty hand, the user seeks to grab on to their opponents attacking limb to offer as a form of manipulation, attachment, and a method to control the opponents weapon. Empty hand, the user performs a brush block and latches on with a free hand, utilizing the other hand to attack the opponent. This technique easily transitions into a disarm.

Warping Jungle
Rank Physical :: C
Description: This is a strong defensive technique used to block hard circular attacks. While using two weapons, the user will blade off and blend slightly with the circular attack, taking both weapons and putting the flats of them against his forearms vertically, the user puts this defensive structure in between them and the opponents attack. While using a single weapon, the user takes the single weapon and puts the flat of it against his forearm, inverted or straight up, to form a single reinforced structure between him and the attack. While unarmed, the user takes their forearms and press them together, bending his body so that they are vertical and perpendicular to the ground.

Knives noted San's improvement and surpassing him in knowledge of Shunkan, but he knew he would catch up shortly today. If not today then tomorrow. While San was able to practice one style Knives continued on his new style. It seemed that the time had come to no longer work on techniques that could scale in power. Knives was grateful for this.

'What's the matter? Getting old and slow are we? Ha!'
'You shut your mouth, you and I are going to have a nice little training session of our own when I'm done here at the dojo you a**!'

Knives directed the student to attack him and as he attacked he continued to circle his opponent. He would respond with his own attack always tracking is own opponent. He would keep track of them and keep contact in some manner. AS he kept contact he would press his own advantages against the opponent. HE was able to see in his mind how he could transition from technique to technique through the use of this principle.

Knives once again went back to his footwork blending and changing it up in order to get close to their opponent to his opponent to attach to his opponent. He not only would attach with a free hand but he would use his footwork to be able to brush away his opponent's own blade. He could see how he could easily transition from Jing Shen Jie Fang into many of his own taijutsu styles that he worked tirelessly to perfect and train. While he was not the most proficient in ninjutsu he planned to be the best in the buki and tai styles that he could master in his time. Focusing on his opponent without a blade he was able to get use to brushing and blocking his opponent and then latching on where he had the superior position due to his larger frame.

Knives pulled his blade from one of his hip locations and used it to block the on coming attacks that he had directed his student launch his way. The attacks were of a hard and heavy circular nature. Knives himself instead of working to dodge these attacks but using his blade and arm together to block the attack. While a set of armor would help the fact that Knives had a good bit of chain wrapped around his arm was even better. He chain helped to provide even more of a structure against the on coming assault. Even without his blades Knives would be able to block a sword with the chains that had been made in takumi. He smiled at this realization, but knew that it was always good to have back ups in armor styles in case somehow a ninja was captured and stripped of his equipment. If not captured but perhaps caught unaware by his opponent, a horrible thought but a possibility none the less. Knives put away his blade and practiced without using his blade but instead using his forearms together to block an on coming swing from a student. The steel hit steel and did not slice through rather it became blocked by all the layers of chain that were accumulated similar to how chain mail works against a slash.

San went on to practice his technqiue. This one was a much important, and one of the pinnacle techniques in the style. Moving to find a dummy, San readied himself for another attack.

San focused himself, and readied his mind for the draw. He already new a similar technique from Kiss of Flesh and Steel. But this version was taking the technique to a whole new level.

San took the blade and drew it in a fast fluid motion. The blade was clear through the bag before the bag even had a chance to drop. Excellent!

San next understood that awarness was key. In this style, the user focused well enough to be able to discern alot of information about incoming target. The distance, location, even speed can be figured out simply by sound disturbances.

Mixed with the increased awareness of Hsing-I Pakua, this could be a very effective combo. Then mixed with the particle sensory technique, nothing would surprise him any more. Excited, San took a moment to breath, and focused his senses.

He would have to be a sharp. In order for him to learn the technqiue, he would have to feel the nuances of an element he didnt control. But where there is a will, their is a way.

San felt the kid enter in, and could even hear the kunai making its way through the air. He had it pinned down, and used his own sword to knock the weapon away. With a Grin, san continued.

The other kid tried again, and San performed the same feat again. it seemed he had finally understood what he was doing. Awesome...jsut a few more technqiues.

"Very good. Now try to take your enemies weapon away from them while at the same time, dont let them take your footing. "

Monkey Disarm Combo
Rank Physical :: C
Description: This is performed when the user is close to the opponent usually after defending a strike. Taking their forearm and placing it above the elbow of the opponent, then applying quick pressure to the opponents wrist to extend the arm, the user performs a violent and fast hyper extension, usually causing the enemy to let got of their weapon. When performed with weaponry, the user can decide to allow the back of the blade track down the hilt of the enemies weapon, stripping it from their hand to ensure that the opponent is then disarmed.
• Stripping method only works against single handed weapons. Even if target is using a long arm, as long as the user is in the right position they can perform the hyper extension

Jungle Roots
Rank Training :: C
Description: To fall during combat is to die, and after countless bouts and sparring sessions the user has found this to be undoubtedly true. To minimize this, the user practices their stance, balance, and foot work to ensure that their feet stay on the ground. The user's footing and stability has been increased.

Ripping the opponent's weapon way? Knives liked this idea, this technique was growing more and more upon him and each passing minute he loved it even more. The move to take his opponent's weapon seemed almost like a standing version of Olympia to him. As he opponent attacked he made sure to keep his footing as his opponent as now a large student who was used to shoving his opponents around and force them to lose their own footing. Knives took his opponents hand as he attacked and quickly extended the arm from the lock in which he held his opponent. This caused them to drop the weapon which Knives picked up quickly and made strokes against their body to emulate combos upon his attacker.

Knives was no stranger to keeping good footing, as it was a standard amongst many of the taijutsu styles. He make sure in order to keep his feet planted, but balanced as if they were the roots of a tree. A tree that would sway in the wind, but not break. He also practiced going into this stance that increased his stability and caused him to lessen the chance of being taken down to the ground. Knives smiled as the student attempted to take him down by shoving him around. Each time however the student would end up losing his weapon and being "killed". Each time Knives became more and more successful, using the principles from the earlier stages to help supplement his disarm and footing against his opponent.

San next set of techniques were very effective ones, and very high level ones. It seemed his training in the art of shunkan no hagane was soon going to come to an end. This was a satisfying conclusion and revelation

The blades of shunkan masters were legendary for their sharpness. They were so sharp, and so precise, that they made not amazing blades seem superpowered in nature. San could only imagine what he could do with a very finely crafted one.

San would first visualize perfect technqiue, and how technqiue was supposed to be performed. If he could master the fine crafts of the movement, maybe eliminate steps, he could make his techniques not just faster but smoother as well. After all, slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.

San went to the bag, and went to perform a few cuts. These cuts, would prove to the ninja if he was indeed at the level he thought he was at. Could his blade act twice as sharp as it was?

The cut felt effortless. In fact, it went through so cleanly San thought it was a lightsaber. This was such a cool effect!!

"Your skill is obvious, towerman-knives-chan! The next principle is there is never an idle limb. Try to use all your limbs, and make a ferocious all out attack or defense by not limiting yourself to a single weapon or tool. with this, learn the two spirit stance, and utilize two weapons! Take them and move them around your body in figure eights! "

show spoilerhide spoiler

Principle: There is Never an Idle limb
Description: In the jungle, combat is hectic, ferocious, and often brutal. To maximize their survivability, masters of Jing Shen Jie Fang utilize the principle of constant motion with all of their limbs, all the time and not get hung up in one action. By focusing on this principle, the user understands that by utilizing all their limbs during offense, as well as defense, that they can become an overwhelming force, like the roots of the jungle trees that smoother the ground.

Two Spirit Stance
Rank Training :: B
Description: The user practices and performs drawing his two weapons and entering a stance similar to the free spirit and one spirit stance. With the two weapons, the use has now been able to perform more ferocious attacks and combinations, utilizing their two weapons to slice and dice not just one attacker but multiple.

Rolling Thunder
Rank Physical :: B
Description: The user takes their weapons and begin to perform a series of four figure 8's around their body, keeping their limbs in tight to ensure their swiftness of motion, keeping any vital points covered. With a single weapon, the user performs the series with just one weapon, but uses their other limb in an attempt to move or trap/latch on to a limb to control it or a weapon. When performed unarmed, the user performs a series of crossing, downward elbow strikes that roll into a falling back fist, transitioning from right to left or left to right.

No limb is idle huh? That makes sense, for why should you limit yourself on only one blade. Knives resumed the same stance he had previously used however this time the focus was two blades as opposed to only one blade or none. He would get used to the feel of using more than just one blade. He directed that his student attack him and he continued through the lessons that he had previously learned this day. With this knowledge of two bladed stance he was able to commit twice as many attacks and defenses. He practiced quickly grabbing both blades and getting into his stance quickly and attacking immediately. He also found that many of his disarms were much easier being able to trap a blade between two of his own made it much easier to rip it away from his opponent.

He would also practice the use of his figure 8s in order to keep a moving wall around him to prevent blades from getting to his body. He put one away to practice the use of gaining control as well and pulling his opponent to control their own weapon. This combination of bukijutsu and taijutsu amazed him and he wondered how he had not thought of it before. He practiced not only with his blades but also without them. Knowing how to properly attack and defend both armed and unarmed was the most important thing. One could always find themselves without a weapon at a moments notice, unlikely for Knives but regardless the fact still stood.

Knives got the sick idea to decide to practice with the chains unleashed when it came to two spirit as well. The results, would be devastating, as he got used to controlling both blades at the same time he began to use the techniques similarly at a distance. He gradually increased the distance over time, while he knew he had to spend more energy to attack at a distance, it was worth it. The need to attack at a distance was greatly needed in the new age of combat that had developed in the ninja world.

San would have to keep himself training, and knew that he would have to focus in order to continue with his training. Damn, he had come a long way! There was a reason he was called the professor.

There was no real area that san lacked skill in. Certainly, there were others with more prowess, but as far as a general skill level went, he was very well rounded. This was something even mamoru had admired about him, noting that he possessed the skill he did but without the lazyness.

The next jutsu was a simple one, but one that would be difficult to actually perform. It was like a shunshin, but a bukijutsu equivalent. The ability to move ina near blink of an eye would certianly be effective.

San would give the technqiue hsi first attempt. He would dissapear and reappear in a blink of an eye across the gym....right in the way of Knives blades! This was not good!!!

San would then try to get away, his after image getting cleanly cut by Knive's weapon. Thankfully, san was away, and the small sweat on his brow would make him seem like he was worried. His composure said otherwise.

"Geebus your a natural! For you size you are amazingly swift! maybe after teaching i can spar? Anyways, the next set of skills are a little more complicated. This technqiue is an effective disarm, and looks like so. From a similar entrance, you can do the half python, which with your unique skills....well...lets say it would be devastating... Not to overload you or anything, but when you kick now, try to completly commit to it. See if you can crush someone. break their frame, break the defense."

show spoilerhide spoiler

Python Disarm
Rank Physical :: B
Description: The user, when close to the opponent, throws a quick outward straight elbow to the opponents head. From here, they wrap their arm over the opponents arm, placing their inside forearm underneath the opponents elbow. Applying pressure to the opponents wrist, adding a small twist, the user aims to lock up and hyper extend the user's arm, attempting to disarm and cause great pain. If this is technique is extended and held for an additional post, the user can possibly break the opponents arm.

Half Python
Rank Physical :: B
Description: The user, when close to the opponent, reaches out and grabs their head/neck area. From here, the user attempts some quick movement to get behind the opponent. From here, the user has many options at their disposal: to choke the opponent, control them, or continue a ferocious assault from behind them with unarmed strikes or weapon techniques. he user can take a hostage or subdue the target quietly, but takes an additional 2 posts to knock the enemy out. This technique can only be performed unarmed, or with a single weapon. To clarify, the user must have a free hand.
• Costs an A rank of Stamina to fight out of position if the opponent doesn't have a technique to do so. if Guerrilla Strength is known, then this technique only needs 1 additional post to knock out the enemy, as well as costs 100 stamina to escape.

Stomping Kick
Rank Physical :: B
Description: The user performs a kick with the idea of full commitment to following through with a technique, performing either a front kick or round house kick Designed to crush the enemies mobility and unable to avoid the ferocious onslaught of attacks from the user. When performed against the knee, the kick has enough force to cause it to buckle or hyper extend. When performed to the upper body, usually square to the torso, they send the opponent staggering back, most times taking them off their feet and sending them to the ground, now at the mercy of the user.
• This technique is usable during "Into the wild" and counts as one of the techniques combinations.

"Jeezus San!" Knives called out pulling back his blades as he sliced through the image from a completed figure 8. "I don't think we have another teacher quite as good as you San, at least overall. So let's try not and lose you huh?" he chuckled before listening to Aioko once again. The end was near for Knives in this style, he would soon reach his limit of how much he could learn for now. But still it was much more than anyone else in the village as far as he knew.

Knives put away his blades, for now as he worked the new stances unarmed. It would be easier that way. Not that he couldn't block with one blade and smash into an opponent with his elbow. No that was completely doable for him. He just liked working everything in the same manner as the style is orginially meant. As he workd the Python disarm, he noticed he to a degree it was almost like a standing Olympia. Taking control of an opponent's wrist in order to disarm or worse break the wrist and even the arm. As he wrapped around his opponent he thought of ways he could alter is footing just slightly in order to get an Olympia throw in a form of disguising it in a different style such as this.

Similarly instead of grabbing the arm and wrapping and extending that Knives worked on a more direct approach of taking hold of the neck or head instead of bashing it. What this allowed him to do was to wrap around and get their neck locked up with a single arm, which for Knives was easy. Again it helped to be the bigger man for these, particularly if one could move. Knives could see how holding this position for a long time could easily cause his opponent to go limp and become unconscious. Provide enough force and it was possible he could simply crush a man's windpipe no problem.

'Good grieve, are you still at this?! I hope it's worth all these hours you've been NOT training with all the great attacks I can give you!
'Yes, I'm still at it. Thank you very much, look I'm sorry that some of us have other things to do rather than be locked up all day!'

As knives worked his close combat he worked again on another kick. It was a powerful one, not as powerful as the kick that somehow had broke James armor but none the less he was leaving decent sized craters in the ground. When it performed his round out kick the dummy was constantly having to be reset. When he used the front kick the craters were often created from him coming down to finish the attack. He attempted it against a student who was able to put stone against their legs and torso, and a good thing too. When Knives hit he could feel the earth give way from the place where it had been placed and set. He smiled knowing that this was just the first style he was going to learn that involved kicks, there was one more. He would have to inquire about it to see if San knew about this style. If not perhaps he could consult the archives and see what they had on such a powerful lower body style that was used against James out in the desert.

San noticed the next technqiue was amazing. It was powerful, and would add range to a technique. it also required chakra.

To San, this was not that big of a deal. He had a great chakra expanse from his many years of training. This would help with this stamina too.

The technique called for him to palce chakra in his blade. This much was much like his other buki techniques, but would take his chakra and make a cutting wave with it. This would be greatly helpful to add range during a buki confrontation.

San performed the technique, and observed a powerful wave of chakra that travled for 18 meters! damn, that was a powerful technqiue! Speaking, San replied to Knives.

"Yeah....here i was thinking i could change direction with the jutsu. I guess not. Thanks for the compliment. Your skill with these chains are quite extraordinary."

"That it is! But this is when you start really diving into the art of Jing Shen Jie Fang. Under stand these principles, and their are few who can actually hit you. You block off the back, and attack with the front, hiding an additional amount of range to your short weapons....um...never mind. Forgot i said that. Anyways, use your legs to burst forward, closing distance while adding speed and power to your strikes."

Principle: Block off the back, Attack with the Front
Description: The ability to reach out and touch your enemy while not having them touch you has been the very defining thing of modern combat. By effective understanding of range, its variety, and constant flux, the user begins to change their offensive and defensive structure to block/parry with the rear weapon and attack with the front weapon. With no change in power, it can greatly increase the effectiveness of the user, allowing them to possibly land more strikes and attacks by distance alone.

Panther's Pounce
Rank Training :: A
Description: the the unforgiving and often sticky/gummy terrain of the jungle, the user has to develop a way of overcoming this situation. By focusing on the explosive power with the legs, the user has developed a much great sense of control of movement and distance, allowing them to close the distance quicker as well as increase the power of their attacks. This is also a useful tactic to cover over and pounce on an opponent who is on the ground. User mundane mobility slightly increased.
• Techniques utilized when performing spring step will be treated as an A rank attack, as well as Cost an A rank of stamina. The A rank bonus only counts for a single technique series, meaning if the technique is performed a second time (only when for free) it will cost, and be performed, at whatever rank in stamina the technique is listed at.

There's a beast in every man and it stirs when you put a sword in his hand.

Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, they cling to the realm or the gods or love. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.

Knives just smirked at the red panda for his comment. He understood what he meant, Knives was taking this style to places it had not been before with his new invention and design. He had a goal and he would never forget that goal for a minute. He saw the wave of Chakra and whistled. "Good night nurse." he said


The principles in this final stage that he would learn, was interesting. While it made sense Knives was still adapting to the art of the two blades at once. Knives directed that his opponent attack him and he began his practice. At first Knives was messing up the block scheme. Eventually he was able to get the idea down. Blocking with his blade from the rear and using his other hand with a blade allowed for him to have greater reach with blocking. Naturally this could work even better with the use of the chains, however for now he wanted to get used to just fighting close. He continued to use his rear blade over his front blade in blocking and attacking with the front blade in his other hand. He also worked in a way with this technique without weapons, but it did not quite feel the same as without a blade.

Once he had gotten the blocking and attacking rhythm down he moved to pouncing his opponent. Closing the circle was always something that needed to be done. And done quickly is what it needed to be. Knives practiced closing the distance while using a variety of his styles. Not just Jing Shen Jie Fang. While certainly that was what it was meant for, he enjoyed changing some things up. Knives too a moment to look over the dummies that he had been using and had to joke for a moment. "I think we're gonna need some new dummies, or do some major repair work when we're done." he chuckled. Knives continued his attacks by quickly closing the space between him and his opponent. This burst of speed provided even great and more lethal attacks than before. Simple stabs were becoming deadly.

Knives had a thought and as he pounced at the exact moment of landing while his energy was still moving he launched a blade. With the energy transfer the blade traveled almost quicker than knives could keep up with his blade. He felt the clink of metal as it imbedded itself in the wall of the dojo. To be honest he was pretty dumb founded at that one. "Well..."

'You know, that was actually almost impressive.
'Oh shut up you!'

San was so close. he could taste his accomplishment. To become a master in Shunkan...that was something he never thought he would see.

So San focused hard, as this next technique would require his great concentration. He would Have to half his reaction times. With the use of chakra this was greatly possible.

San focused his chakra and sent it through his nerves system, getting an easier time due to his biosense. He coated the nerves, and made them be able to send the stimulis faster. With a faster action potential, and almost no refraction time, the sannin could move faster then gods.

The fact that he could half his already improved reflexis was pretty ******** up. on top of that, adding his armor.....light speed would be too slow! Who could ******** with him now.

"Thank you Knives for you instruction. I think you deserve a bit of praise, teaching this old dog knew tricks. Did you think i could actually master the style?

"I knew you could do it San! But watch knives now....he really is something else. These next techniques are really helpful, and will be difficult to completely nail down. This is one of the more direct and linear attacks of the style, and is really helpful. Also, to augment your taijutsu style, try using your hand to make extra fists...see how it affects your technqiues. "

Viper Lunge Combo
Rank Physical :: A
Description: The user, using the explosive power in their legs for movement, quickly closes the distance in a linear fashion. When utilizing, a weapon, this technique is performed as a quick thrusting stab for the opponents midsection that transitions into a upward vertical slash. When unarmed, this is performed as a lunging punch for the opponents solar plexus that transitions into a quick rising snap back fist usually aiming for underneath the opponents chin or bicep. To finish the combination, the user allows their elbow to continue through into a powerful rising elbow, usually aiming for the chin of the opponent. Now that they have a powerful offensive to close the distance, they can continue their assault.

Spirit of the Animal
Rank Training :: A
Description: From a style born from the jungle, it couldn't possibly exist without some animal influence. Taking their hands and analyzing how animals move and fight, the creators managed to take the empty hand user and give them weapons, even when they are unarmed. These fists are easy to use and transition to, often allowing the user to use multiple during a combination.

Monkey Fist: The user keeps their hand relaxed cupping their palm just slightly and allowing their hand the be heavy with their fingers slightly extended. Any time the user aims to strike the opponent, the user can choose to use this fist instead, allowing for a powerful and heavy cupped hand strike to occur. Due to the shape of the fist, after impact it would cause the fingers to want to close, allowing the user to instantly transition into a powerful grab on the opponent, usually allowing the user to control the given limb. This technique is particularly brutal when performed to the head, primarily the air as it offers a great control point, with the strike making it feel like a grenade went off in the opponents head. This fist adds +5 Stamina to each strike the user uses this fist on. (To clarify, if the combination is a B rank, costing 40 stamina, and consists of 2 strikes the user wishes to use monkey fist on, this would add +10 stamina to the combination, making it cost 50 stamina instead. )

Leopard Fist: The user takes their hand and curls their fingers in while keeping their palm open to strike with. However, unlike a simple palm strike, this attack has the spirit of the Leopard to it. Designed for ripping and tearing the opponent, the user, after palm striking the user closes their fist and clamps down with the finger tips while pulling back while still attached to the target. The pulling against the body is exceptionally painful, and can sometimes causing muscle and skin to actually be pulled or ripped from their respective attachments, even in just a micro-sized form. This fist adds +10 stamina to each technique the user uses this fist on. (To clarify, if the combination is a B rank, costing 40 stamina, and consists of 2 strikes the user wishes to use monkey fist on, this would add +20 stamina to the combination, making it cost 60 stamina instead. )

Coconut Fist: Although not a animal, this fist is not just named for a food. The user takes their fist and squeezes it tightly, rolling their wrist in slightly, and would throw a punch as they normally would. Just at the moment of impact, the user adds a small downward angle cut to the attack. This adds a distinct addition of power, dubbed a "stinger," to the strike. When the user attacks a limb, usually when holding a weapon, this can be enough to cause the weapon to be sent flying from the opponents hand due to the extreme pain this strike can cause. This fist adds +15 stamina to each strike the users performs with this fist. (To clarify, if the combination is a B rank, costing 40 stamina, and consists of 2 strikes the user wishes to use monkey fist on, this would add +30 stamina to the combination, making it cost 80 stamina instead. )

"San, anyone can master a buki style as long as they take the time to learn it. It's not as easy as those ninjustu styles that you use. Now excuse me while I pull out this kukri from the wall." he said as he walked over and pulled the blade out somehow no imperfections had touched the blade.

The next lunge was a bit different but the same idea as the last. Knives would take his time to get the footing right and create the right explosive power to blast at his opponent. While he blade may have been aimed at the opponent's chest when he arrived he slashed quickly upwards causing great devastation. Knives could only imagine what might happen if he used the chains to allow for the transfer of energy. Once he had mastered the one two technique with a blade he put away the blades to move on to the unarmed portion of the fighting. He would lunge once again and blasted at his opponent's arm hitting nerve clusters that would rend the arm almost immobile. Not only that but the use of his elbow into the chin of the opponent was a nasty finisher for a man of his stature.

Knives knew plenty about the use of fists. But these of Jing Shen Jie Fang were much different than normal fists. These fists mimicked animals more than humans. He first practiced with the monkey style cupping his fist just slightly. When he made contact his hands naturally went for a grab as he continued to pound away with his other first. While he had a grab he moved to the other fist and see how devastating it was in person and in close. As he tore into a dummy with the Leopard Fist he saw how brutal this was. The use of a grab also allowed for Knives to attack and finish his opponent with another punch. The use of the coconut punch allowed for him to make rapped quick fire hits to an arm. If aimed at a nerve cluster or simply the upper arm, an opponent would have nothing to do but to drop their weapon. The sheer force and power was enough to ensure that. Knives began to let out a battle cry as he used these coconut fists upon the dummy. Not only that but when he lunged he also moved to an olympia stance as he knocked his opponent over and unleashed a barrage of blows to the dummy. The combination of blows was incredible, not as powerful perhaps as the Iron fist techniques but a technique that could and would provide quick, rapid hits.

'Oh I like this, I can already taste the blood of the vanquished!
