Mastery

Only those of Bukijutsu classes or their branches are capable of Mastering a Style and being crowned its savior.
No one may be the Master of two different styles (though Bukijutsu can learn all of the techniques), and there can only be one Master per Style.
You may challenge your Style's Master in order to claim his position, only if you yourself have also learned every technique in the Style.
What's so important about being a Master?
Well~

• A Master of a Style is capable of teaching others his Style 2 posts faster (Must be in person)
• A Master of a Style can pass out scrolls, that give instructions on the Style
• A Master of a Style is capable of using his Style with increased proficiency (Damage dealt from all attacks increased by a C's Rank)
• A Master of a Style is capable of using his Style without error and perfect precision (Speed of all those techniques increased by a D's Rank)

Shunkan no Hagane
Flash flood of flying steel

___Description:
The Shunkan no Hagane style uses blades of all sizes to mold the flow of battle to the user’s will. This style is a modern adaptation of traditional weaponry practices, taking the facets from the traditional styles themselves and applying them to more recent situations. As such many of the moves can be executed with a variety of bladed weapons. The techniques can also be used with blunted and training versions of bladed weapons, but the techniques in the style lose the majority of their piercing and slicing power.

The Instant of Steel style originated in a peninsula to the northeast of the Water Country and drifted slowly toward the Western lands and their Hidden Villages. Many of the practitioners gained fame through formal sparring tournaments, and as such the name of the style has yet to gain the fame that some others have; only those who actively watch or participate frequently in contests know of the practitioners and their abilities. Unfortunately, the style is hard to adapt in earlier stages for use in sudden battles, and is mostly used in duels. However, it is incredibly useful in almost any battle once higher levels are mastered, as the basic techniques become much stronger and faster.

___Notes:
• “Finesse” refers to the ability to execute movements without excess damage, as in fine-point striking.
• Techniques taught by Shunkan no Hagane receive no learning reductions.


___S t a g e O n e [1]
○ Basic Chop
Simple :: E-Rank
An overhead vertical strike meant as an offensive technique. Very basic, but it is a very powerful strike.

○ Forward Step
Simple :: E-Rank
A single step or series of steps forward, meant to add a great deal of power to offensive attacks. While it is quick, it is still one of the slower movements in the Style.

○ Backward Step
Simple :: E-Rank
A single step or series of steps backward, meant as an escape or evasion technique. While it is quick, it is still one of the slower movements of the style, and it is mostly used as a positioning technique.

○ Basic Stab
Simple :: E-Rank
The basic stab used in most blade styles. It is a plain forward thrust with the blade, meant to pierce skin and cause damage to the main body.

○ Basic Block
Simple :: E-Rank
The set of basic upper- and lower-blocks used with swords and other bladed weapons. It works best on the basic offensive chops and slices.

___S t a g e T w o [2]
○ Pivot Block
Simple :: D-Rank
The user pivots on the forward leg and deflects an incoming attack with their blade, setting them up for a highly effective counterattack. In addition, this movement sets the user up for a highly effective disarming technique, or even a throwing movement.
• Basic Block learned.

○ Forward Grind
Simple :: D-Rank
After blocking an incoming attack or after the opponent’s block, with the blade of choice, the user grinds his or her blade toward the opponent on the blocked weapon. This movement closes the distance between the user and the opponent while forcing the target’s weapon to remain still.
• Basic Block learned.

○ Deflection One
Simple :: D-Rank
In the early stages of an opponent’s Taijutsu or Kenjutsu attack, the user raises his or her blade and slightly alters the course of the incoming attack so that it misses, allowing for a quick counterattack by the user.
• Basic Block learned.

○ Disarming One
Simple :: D-Rank
The user aims for a point just beyond the focal point of the opponent’s weapon of choice, be it metal or flesh, and gently guides his or her blade to that point. After it has reached this point, the user redirects the weapon away from the opponent, causing it to slip out of the target’s grasp.
• Basic Stab learned.

___S t a g e T h r e e [3]
○ Calligraphy
Simple :: C-Rank
A series of fine-point stabs and slices resembling calligraphy strokes. The wounds they inflict are shallow, but very painful and debilitating.
• Basic Stab, Deflection One learned.

○ Extension
Simple :: C-Rank
A technique that relies on the user’s skill with blades being more than that of a normal person’s. By swinging firmly and quickly, the air around the user’s blade shears and sharpens; this makes an incredibly powerful attack that can strike slightly farther than the blade seems possible of reaching. In essence, this attack cuts a few inches farther than the blade can reach.
• Basic Stab, Deflection One learned.

○ Thread Walking One
Simple :: C-Rank
Utilizing their new balance, the user can now walk on threads and wires without much difficulty and without chakra.


○ Solid Footing
Simple :: C-Rank
When on the ground the user becomes incredibly difficult to throw off of his or her footing, in or out of stance.


___S t a g e F o u r [4]
○ Swordslinger
Simple :: B-Rank
The rapid changing and using of blades during a battle has become recently known as “swordslinging” within the martial world due to its resemblance to certain methods of using long-range weaponry. Within the Shunkan no Hagane style, however, this is a technique taken very seriously, and as such it is only given to those who have mastered the style up to this Stage and have experience using at least five weapons. The technique involves rapidly unsheathing, attacking, and sheathing weapons without pause, constantly changing mode and form of attack, and results in the user’s ability to use techniques without any extra physical cost.
• Extension, Calligraphy practiced using at least five other bladed weapons.

○ Illusory Double
Simple :: B-Rank
A close range attack, the user goes for a direct stab at the opponent. By pulling the blade slightly back immediately afterward, the user can then strike another nearby point very shortly after the first strike. This technique is fast enough that those who are of the same rank as the user cannot see the second strike.
• Basic Stab.

○ Sensory Information
Simple :: B-Rank
A passive technique that allows the user to judge the location of an incoming object or person, but not the location, based on sounds and disturbances made in the environment.

○ Twin Blade
Simple :: B-Rank
Due to the user’s strength, the air around the blade sharpens similar to the Extension technique. However, due to the user’s speed and proficiency with blades, the air blade hits after the actual blade with enough force to crack or shatter most blades.
• Calligraphy, Extension learned.

○ Brush Stroke
Simple :: B-Rank
A series of quick cuts that eclipse the Calligraphy technique in both speed and depth, but are much more difficult to work with. The cuts now pierce all the way through muscles, and can cut in to bone. This technique can only be seen by people with a speed rank higher than the user’s own.
• Calligraphy learned.

○ Hydra Strike
Simple :: B-Rank
An enhancement of the Twin Blade. Instead of only one additional strike, the user can now launch several in a row without any loss in speed or power.
• Twin Blade learned.

○ Disarming Two
Simple :: B-Rank
The user aims for the point just beyond the focal point of the opponent’s weapon of choice, be it metal or flesh, and swings strongly for that point. Once the user’s blade connects, the opponent’s blade breaks in two and the hilt of the blade is sent flying. If the opponent holds on to his or her blade too strongly, the bone fingers in the hand(s) holding on to the hilt crack.

○ Deflection Two
Simple :: B-Rank
In the early stages of an opponent’s Taijutsu or Kenjutsu attack, the user raises his or her blade and alters the course of the incoming attack so that it is rendered useless, allowing for a quick counterattack by the user.

○ Advance of Steel
Simple :: B-Rank
A very quick forward movement that doubles the strength and effectiveness of all offensive and defensive techniques and makes them very difficult to dodge by anyone of the user’s speed rank or lower.

___S t a g e F i v e [5]
○ Shearing
Simple :: A-Rank
The user, because of the large amount of training he or she has now completed, can now operate blades with such speed and ease that the air begins to shear along the edges of the weapons when they are used, extending their range by almost a foot on all bladed sides. This effect lasts for ten posts.
• Extension learned.

○ Thread Walking Two
Simple :: A-Rank
The user is now able to both run and fight while balancing on threads and wires, though doing these things at the same time is widely regarded as totally infeasible.
• Thread Walking One Learned

○ Crescent Block
Simple :: A-Rank
A circular block meant to serve as an all purpose defensive technique. By catching the incoming attack and carrying it in a circular path on the blade edge, the user gains a great amount of control over the opposing weapon, enough to be able to drive it in to the ground or to easily disarm the opponent without the need for extra techniques or movements. In addition, this technique has great cutting power against soft weapons such as arms, legs, and anything made out of wood or bamboo.
• Basic Block.

○ Defense of Steel
Simple :: A-Rank
A powerful defensive technique that is capable of nullifying elemental Ninjutsu up to C-Rank. By performing any appropriate block while Shearing is active, the user can slice through an incoming attack without his or her blade ever touching it. This technique works by shearing the material in the path of the blade, dispersing energy and matter in to the surrounding landscape. This defense is extremely effective against carried weapons of all types. Must be using a metal blade.
• All Stage Three and Stage Four techniques, Shearing learned.

○ Sword Drawing Technique
Simple :: A-Rank
A quick drawing of the sword that operates as a slash and breaks through not only blades, but can pierce armor as well. Opponents without a speed rank higher than the user’s cannot see or react to this technique.
• All Stage Three and Stage Four techniques learned.

___S t a g e S i x [6]
○ Final Words
Simple :: S-Rank
A passive technique whereby the user can accurately the distance, location, and speed of an incoming object or person based on the sounds made and the disturbances made in the environment.
• All techniques prior to this Stage learned.

○ Vorpal Blade
Simple :: S-Rank
A passive technique that forces the user’s blade to act as if it were twice as sharp as it actually is. This makes it easy to carve through armor even without the use of techniques that do so, and those techniques become potent enough to slice through heavy armors.
• All techniques prior to this Stage learned.

○ Movement of Steel
Simple :: S-Rank
An unbelievably quick movement technique that has a speed that totally eclipses that of the Body Flicker Technique, with the same range. However, it is difficult to control and can only be used in one direction at a time. This technique creates an after-image where the user had been standing.
• All techniques prior to this Stage learned.

○ Offense of Steel
Complex :: S-Rank
From the ready position, the user swings the blade he or she has chosen at a given target, sending a wave of energy in the direction of the swing that slices anything it hits in the way that the blade would. The technique starts out with a range of 5 meters, but increases by another 3 meters for every rank of speed added to it. This means that a Genin using this technique would only have a range of 5 meters, but that a Kage would be able to hit something 18 meters away.
• All techniques prior to this Stage learned.

○ Instant of Steel
Complex :: S-Rank
A change to the physical state that doubles the speed of all blade techniques and halves the user’s reaction time. This state lasts for ten posts.
• All techniques prior to this Stage learned.

Description:
The Hidden Mist Sword Style is one of more commonly used methods of assault. Practiced since the village’s creation, this style has proven itself to be both simplistic and effective…truly, a timeless classic.

• Can only be used with heavy swords

Vertical Descent
Rank D
Simple

Rank D
Simple
The user adjusts their position so that their weapon is held pointing tip down. From this position the user is able to deliver a rather quick rising slash

Sharp Dag
Rank C
Simple

Dual-Wielding Stance
Chuunin Minimum

• Requires two swords

Gemini Breaker
Rank B

• Requires two swords

Murderous Intent
Rank B
Complex
The user will apply a thin layer of chakra around their blade, causing it to generate a white hazy effect. This aura around the blade may not seem like much, but even if the sword is held still, the haze is always moving, making it appear that the blade is moving as well. In addition, all strikes that occur for the duration of the technique deal an additional D ranked amount of pure chakra damage
• Lasts 6 posts

Sharp Drop
Rank B
Simple
The user brings their sword down at an incredible speed, capable of shattering stones into dusts and forcing anything strong enough to withstand the blow eight inches into the dirt.

While spinning the swords cannot be adjusted or tampered with by non-elemental forces…Though this technique is typically used for flesh rending, because the user is able to abandon their grip on the swords it makes a nifty distraction for other attacks…
• Spins for 2 posts
• Requires two swords

Merciless Drop
Rank A
Simple
The user will grip their sword with one hand, and swing it overhead. They will then proceed by using their freehand to tilt the hilt inward, causing a faster, yet shorter ranged, drop of the blade.

• Puts strain on the hand used to begin
• Can only be used with heavy swords

Devastating Haze
Rank S
Simple
An extraordinarily powerful attack which utilizes the effects of ‘Murderous Intent’. The user will begin by assuming a stance in which they hold their sword directly upward, they will then shift their sword in various circular motions, generating a solid fog of white which obscures the user’s position and movements. When the user assumes the moment has come, they will thrust their blade from the fog, in an attempt to pierce their target. Should they be successful, the chakra used to perform ‘Murderous Intent’ will flood the opponent, causing an additional A ranked amount of pure chakra damage
• Requires ‘Murderous Intent’ to be active
• Nullifies ‘Murderous Intent’ if successful

Shigure Souen
A legacy of greatness and evolution.

___D e s c r i p t i o n:
This technique originated with one man, and like a family tree, it grew. As the technique was passed down, the more the tree grew. It is common for a generation to add a new form to the Shigure Souen. This is a sword style that varies, depending on who your master was. Thus, there could be many different variations of the Shigure Souen Style.

The Shigure Souen Style is a notoriously deadly sword style that is only passed down to worthy successors. Each 'form' of the style is only shown once to the student - if the student is worthy to succeed, he only needs to see it once to remember how to use it from then on. It originally only had one form that was passed down through generations of successors with each successor creating and adding their own forms resulting in many branches of Shigure Souen Style. However, as new forms were created, the weaker branches deteriorate, and others disappear as there is no worthy successor; hence, this style can be called the perfect, flawless style.

___N o t e s:
• This style contains various techniques branded with the type "Training." When these techniques are learned, they become passive benefits for the practitioner.
• "Training" techniques are learned as if Complex techniques of the same rank.

Hakyoku-ken no Kata
Destruction reaped in a single sweep

___D e s c r i p t i o n:
Hakyoku-ken no Kata, or Style of the Catastrophe Blade, is an extremely powerful and wide style of swordsmanship not often practiced by shinobi. Because it was traditionally used by feudal soldiers, the use of the style by shinobi was truly unheard of. However, as time progressed, the usefulness of this art was remembered, and the workings of Hakyoku-Ken no Kata have been reconfigured to better suit the lighter framed warriors of this era.
Designated as one of the most rigorous and difficult to master Bukijutsu in the world; those of the Hakyoku-Ken no Kata are rare. Finding a shinobi able to make use of such a style are ever more scarce. The reason for this is because of the basis of the style- Massive, unorthodox, and heavy weapons.

Doki Yari
That which falls like lightning.

___D e s c r i p t i o n:
The technique is often mistaken for use of simply spears, while some of its moves may favor simple spears, but many have made use of most kinds of light pole arms in terms of use. Devised to drive through anything standing in its way, Doki Yari often proves taxing and appears clumsy looking.
Doki Yari stands in the forefront of the shinobi world as one of the few spear techniques that have been conceived in its history. Originating from the Land of Valleys, it oddly was not established by the shinobi that make use of it today, but rather rogues waiting for that unfortunate passerby who would be buying their meal that night. Word got out, eventually, as the Valleys became more and more renowned, for people gone missing. That was when the Daimyo in the Land of Fire grew concerned, sending off some of the Leaf's elite. Scuffles ensued, and with each encounter, their shinobi learned of the strengths of the technique, and worked to adapt it, turning it against its original creators. It's origins were snuffed for the time being, and brought back to the shinobi world. A technique to pierce the very walls that stand in its users way.

___N o t e s:
• Pole arms used must be of medium weight or lighter.

Seven Sword Dance
Sword

Description:
The seven sword dance is hailed as one of the most difficult styles to master, however it rewards those who serve it with unpredictable movements, unique angles of attack, and a means to an end (whatever that may be for the individual). The user places seven swords on his or her body and uses them to attack in a seemingly erratic pattern that more closely resembles juggling than swordplay. Integrated with savage short range unarmed strikes, the style can attack from several angles at once making it rather hard to effectively block a master. The style utilizes a series of kata to ease the beginner into it, though those unable to keep up will soon find themselves injured.
