Bukijutsu is the use of weaponry and skill to improve one's capabilities. With the use of different weapons, there are many different types of styles one can use. Some are specifically for swords, otherwise can be used with some modification. There are many forms of this including: Shunkan no Hagane, Mist Sword Style, Shigure Souen, Santoryuu, Nunchaku Kata, Hakyoku-ken no Kata, Kumogakure Style, Doki Yari, etc.
Some of these are made for a specific group of weapon while others can be freely used with a variety of them. Seeing as some of them can be more complex than most, they have not only been ranked E-S but also been defined as simple or complex.

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.
___Rank E ○ 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.___Rank D○ 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.○ 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.○ 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.○ 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.
___Rank C○ 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.
○ 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.○ 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.
___Rank B○ 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.○ 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.○ 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.○ 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.○ 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.○ 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.___Rank A○ 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.○ 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.○ 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.○ 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.○ 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.___Rank S○ 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.○ 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.○ 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.
○ 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.○ 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.

Mist Sword Style
Sword
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.
Traditional sword techniques are passed from Master to Pupil, but can be learned almost just as easy from Scroll.
Rules:
• Certain techniques can only be performed by certain weighted swords Rank E Double SideRank E Simple The user swings their blade to their left, then to their right, or vice versa.Rank D Breaching SideRank D Simple The user steps forward and quickly swings their blade from the right or left, due to the speed, this technique can knock opponents off balanceShifting SideRank D Simple The user steps forward, holding their sword tightly, and swings their blade from right or left- bashing their opponent with the flat side. Due to the power and good amount of speed, the opponent can be knocked over rather easilyVertical DescentRank D Simple The user quickly dashes up, seemingly disappearing- they will then fall from the sky, blade held however they please, in an attempt to get in a vertical slashCap BreakRank D Simple The user will bring the hilt, or sheath, of their blade to the opponent’s knee cap in an attempt to momentarily cripple them. This technique can be performed rather easily while dodging or runningEnhanced DivideRank D Complex The user will entrust the arm(s) they use to swing their sword with a light amount of chakra. For a short amount of time each attack the user performs deals slightly more damage and is slightly faster (Damage and Speed increased by a D Rank)Sharp RiseRank 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 slashRank C Sharp DagRank C Simple The user adjusts their position so that their weapon is held pointing tip down. From this position they will step forward and attempt to stab their target. If the stab is successful, they will continue by twisting the sword while its blade is still insideDual-Wielding StanceRank C Simple The user is capable of using a pair of swords to perform most techniques in the style, as well as some additional ones. This can result in the user’s potential in a fight doubling, or even triplingTwin FangRank C Simple The user will adjust their stance so that both swords point either inward or outward. From this position they will close the distance between their opponent and attempt to impale with both weaponsTwin Fang SinkingRank C Complex The user will adjust their stance so that one sword points inward, and the other points outward. From this position, they will entrust each blade with a good amount of chakra, close the distance between their opponent, and finish by attempting to impale with both weapons. If the attack is successful, the chakra will be released, causing the opponent to fly backRank B Gemini BreakerRank B Simple The user begins by flipping hold on one of their swords- so that one is held pointing up, and the other down. They will then proceed by closing the distance gap with their opponent. When the opportunity has come, they will swing with the upside down sword, attempting to hit with the hilt, followed by the blade, and finish by bringing the other sword into the (most likely) disoriented opponentMurderous IntentRank 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 damageSharp DropRank 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. Though it seems incredibly simplistic, if the user does not know how to hold their sword the correct way they will end up causing severe hilt burn and bleeding upon usageRank A Murderous FormRank A Complex A highly advanced version of ‘Murderous Intent’…The user will apply a thin layer of chakra around their body, causing a white hazy effect to envelope their entire body. Just as the technique it is based off of, this will cause the user to appear to be in a shifting motion, even if standing still. Whenever the user dashes or performs Mist Sword Style techniques a trail of blurry afterimages will be left behindGemini DrillRank A Simple The user will attempt to stab with both swords, If successful they will then shift their hands from the hilts in a very quick downward fashion, causing both blades to spin in place. 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…Merciless DropRank 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. Most anything caught within this attack is shattered to pieces, even normally tempered steel. Because of its speed, weight, range, and drawback, this technique is typically used as a finisherRank S Devastating HazeRank 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
