A village founded by a man who refused the title shinobi. Much like how the alchemy ninja separated themselves... As did the Lord of Hidden Katana. The village of Hidden Katana is founded on the ancient arts of building the Katana. This village specializes in building custom made katanas.. From the five pieces that come from the blade. The Trigger, The Emitter, the Hilt, The Blade, and finally The Safety. While outsiders can only have one Blade... The Clan Villagers gain one blade every 15k.
.::Clans::.
Daimyo The only notable clan of the village. They are the sword smiths. They can build a sword at ease and gain an extra sword every 15k. They can build multiple swords unlike the amount an outsider can do it. They are also the only people that can use special emitters, triggers, and blades. They are notable kinsmen to The Villagers of Hidden Mask and have an undying feud with the villagers of Hidden Craftsmen.

Sasaki had returned to the Hidden Katana Village since her training at the ninja academy had concluded. It was time to begin preparing to crush the evils of the world under the weight of the heavy sword she had begun designing. A sword worthy of a hero and that could withstand the force of the eight celestial chakra gates. It was a technique of the forbidden type, but she knew that with her overall ineptitude at ninjutsu and genjutsu, she would need a power to crush enemies who would seek to take advantage of the Land of Iron. The sword design itself had started with a hilt capable of holding a heavy blade capable of making strong strikes without breaking.
Though it had other components as well, and more specifically the fine tuned parts. Blades made by a master craft blade smith from the Hidden Katana were often revered for their unique powers that the smiths could impart into them, and even before that the respect was held for the advanced machining styles that made exotic weapons such as saw blades or even the lethal foil blade. In Sasaki's case, her weapon had to be built for heavy blows and surprisingly fast strikes, so it came with the added challenge of integrating light, but strong steel into the composition of the claymore's cutting edge. She needed a sword that could take advantage of not just her power but her overall athletic physique. So the plan included making sure the blade, while light, was resilient enough to withstand the force and speed she would be swinging it at.
Sasaki had several other factors to consider as she worked in the forge. Her hammer slammed against molten steel with precision she had gained in her years growing up. It was also due to her natural talent as one of the Daimyo descendents, even if she did not know it herself. She only knew herself as Sasaki at this point, and it was the name given to her by the elderly couple that raised her. It was the feeling of accomplishment as the steel rung out with each blow from her hammer that encouraged her onward. The large chunk of metal that was making the blade for her weapon was shaping outward into a double-edged sword, capable of cleaving back and forth. Such a blade would be dangerous in the hands of anyone unskilled in the ways of swordplay, but the silver-haired girl knew well that such a sword was needed if she were going to use it with the chakra gates.
The blade needed to cut from all sides as she was uncertain if she would ever be able to keep up with how fast she would be moving in such a heightened state. Sasaki had read up on the power required for such a technique and it would be no small feat. She would first need to travel to the land of Fire and undergo the rigorous training required of only the most devout students of purely physical arts. Though as she worked on the sword, the young kunoichi of the Village knew well that it was her path she had chosen in order to represent her smaller nation in the upcoming Chuunin Exams. The sword she worked on was going to be the key component to her displaying the mastery she held to become a stronger warrior and representative of the Land of Iron on the world's stage.
In the past, ninja used to fight over blades being made here, and demanded much of the craftsmen who made the weapons. It was a result that lead to hardship and resentment of ninja. The way of the samurai was a way that had largely been forgotten. Trampled on like a flower in a field and by the very nations that called themselves great. Sasaki was intent on making sure that the Land of Iron had a hero, somebody the people could look to for defense when the predations of the ninja world became less than mutual business and a point of abuse.
Subjecting herself to the training and work was how she felt she would be repaying the very people who had raised her after the mysterious death of her parents. Sasaki's family was the Hidden Katana as a whole, or at least that is how she felt. The rest of the Land of Iron were her people or kindred souls that deserved kindness until proven unworthy. Sure there were thieves and bad elements all around her. Though, the world did not need to be forsaken because of a few rogue elements that wanted to ruin it. No, it was those very evil souls that would need to be excised like a cancerous tumor and the rot purged with a precise blade.
With the blade portion of the sword completed, now she needed to make a swift release system for the safety of the large weapon. A simple leather holster with back straps would suffice as she had no real need to make it out of anything spectacular. The holster would just need the speedy release system installed in it to make it easier to draw the blade and use it in combat. This was achieved with a clip that would snap and release the blade once the handle was gripped and the trigger on the grip activated. It was a rather ingenious invention, and only those of the Hidden Katana's Daimyo clan could truly pull it off, though she did not know that this is the case as to why she was so skilled in arts that she would know only due to her lineage. The reason why or how never really seemed to matter to her, just only that she simply could.
With all of the logistical stuff ironed out, the last part of the blade was the most important. Emitters, a special chakra powered gem that once infused into the metal of the blade would give it a soul and unique properties. The talent one had to have, not to mention a control of chakra was very important when it came to this stage of craftsmanship. Sweat rolled off Sasaki's brow as she pounded out the receptor for which she would socket the pure white jewel into. She then began to hammer the faceted chakra gem into the sword, before she brought out a hot torch and applied it to the chakra infused mineral. The gem began to crystalize and melt until it began to fuse into the metal.
Upon cooling, the white glass gem shone flat andd smooth at the point were the blade connects to the hilt. All that was left was to impart the potent trigger mechanism into it to bring the beautiful artwork of war to life. Sasaki made sure only to invest the best parts into her blade to make sure it did not lock up or jam when she activated it's skills and abilities. Though now with this advanced sword completed, all that remained now was to find out what it could do, and for that to happen, she would need to practice with the large, steel, beauty. Her journey as a true shinobi of the Hidden Katana Village had truly begun

The sudden and unexpected explosions that rocked the Village of Hidden Katana were at first met with excited cheers, civilians and shinobi alike looking to the sky with the expectation of anticipated fireworks to appear across the sky despite the time of day. Yet none appeared, instead smoke black began to fill the sky as black smoke rose from the main building of the Village's Kage's Home. The excited screams and partial laughter soon shifted to panicked screams of fear as black armor clad shinobi, lacking the normal headbands and other distinguishing marks that would set them as part of the normal collection of villages. These black clad shinobi bound across both the ground and rooftops, slapping and igniting explosive tags upon buildings as they pass in order to continue the explosive assault.
Several black armored shinobi strolling effortlessly through the streets, drawing weapons that were not normally seen by the shinobi world, firearms. Aiming and firing at a rapid pace, they shot down any civilian that crossed their paths as they marched through the burning and crumbling main streets of the village.
A glossy black almost robotically armored figure walked through the center of the village along side the firearm using black armored shinobi. A blood glistened katana held lightly in his hand as he waves it about, black electricity shooting from the weapon itself and crashing into both buildings and civilians alike, leaving devastating slashes across ground and wall or completely incinerating those living things that the attacks hit.
Sasaki was hard at work at the special forge in her home of the Hidden Katana Village. Then the sounds of the lively town turned from the happy tune of people at work and business to screams and chaos. Sasaki did not need to be a rocket scientist to understand that her home was under attack. She was confused at the prospect as to why anyone would try to harm the place of progress and industry, but then it was clear, Hidden Katana would be the perfect place for a military force to try and coopt into the fold of their ranks to make them a force to be reconned with. "Dammit... still not finished yet.", she grumbled angrily as her sword was still in the process of feeding on her chakra to fuel the emitter. "A blade with no soul is incomplete, but I guess we're gonna have to do this in a trial by fire.", the kunoichi grumbled as she picked up the large claymore and stepped outside, into the street.
As Sasaki looked around her, it was clear this was an organized effort to launch an assault on the Village. The forces were led by an unknown for now, but all that mattered was trying to stop the bastards gunning down the innocent people and the stronger ninja trying to defend their home or find safety. It was clear that this was something a lone Genin could not stave off herself, but she had to try. She owed the people of this Village so much, for raising her just as 'Old Man' had. Then just as her thought for heroics flashed through her mind, she saw a man fall, screaming in pain from wounds inflicted by the enemy. Blood poured from him, and his silence only created the spark that fueled her rage. "KYaaaaaaa!! You're all dead!", she roared in anger. Her eyes looked over in the direction of one of the black-armored Shinobi that had fired the shot.
In the brief moment before she attacked, Sasaki's soul seemed to resonate with the emitter of the blade she had forged. The weapon fueled by her chakra seemed like it was intent on completing the process by using her will to fight and defend the Village as the source of its soul. 'Swiftly... Cut down the enemy. Hurry... Vengeance is calling. Run... Through destiny's doorway.', she heard in her mind. It was clear the speed type emitter was humming to life. The gem that had been melted into the metal was now creating a weapon of speed and power. The soul slowly seeping into every mineral that composed the beautiful steel of the claymore.
Sasaki closed the distance between herself and the ninja that had fired the round, stepping side to side to make it harder for him to get a clean shot until she swung upward with the blade. He stood there, stunned for a moment, before his gun split, and then in a gurgle of blood, he split too. Right up the middle, in a spray of blood and gore, she had struck with the newly sharpened and highly lethal sword. It was just getting started too. The shouts of the other armored ninja in the area who had witnessed the execution of their ally aimed their weapons at Sasaki and fired. 'Kill that b***h!' were the shouts from one of the two who were trying to get revenge for -their- fallen. However, with the skill of a well-placed Substitution technique, Sasaki left them filling their fallen ally's corpse with bullets while she appeared in the air above them. She had jumped during the jutsu to create a high jump effect. It was the conclusion of her jump that left the pair screaming in terror and anger, until it was just one making the sounds. It was during her decent that her blade had cleaved one of the assailant's heads in two before the blade slung to the side, creating a splatter of blood in the eyes of the other one.
It was a display of ruthless aggression that Sasaki put on display as she got vengeance for the fallen civilians of Hidden Katana. She rushed angrily at the temporarily blinded one and slammed into him with a shoulder tackle. She knocked him prone and aimed her incomplete sword down at his neck, stopping short of killing him outright as she wanted to question him. "Who are you with!? Which Village?! Answer me!", she shouted in unadulterated rage and righteous indignation. It was the time to get some answers about her enemy before she continued on to more pressing matters. Also, she was sure this grunt would not know she was stalling for time until her sword would fully activate. So far she could feel the gem was nearing awakening, but for now she would need to put the pressure on the enemy until her power fully manifest.

A scream ripped through the air filled with the sounds and smells of the firearms. A smaller framed male dashed in with a long, curved sword in his left hand with a large black clawed gauntlet on the other. The male's movement was graceful, as if his swordsmanship was a practiced dance. Meer inches from the ground, his steps did not even imprint the ground with each step. His sword strikes against one of the gunmen was metered, practiced, deliberate almost like a large bird on the hunt of its prey. Dark amber eyes dancing across the battlefield that was his home... the village in which he was raised by one of the greatest swordsmen, that he knew. The world, however, was large and uncaring; these ninjas showed just that with their cold, calculated attacks against those that would normally be powerless to stop them. Teeth grit, this male muttered out a low cry, "How could you!" His clawed hand grabbing the nearest enemy and slamming them into the ground, before kicking off their head like a springboard. A solemn indignation filled the young man as his metered movement allowed him to back pedal away from these monstrous invading ninja.
The young Sanada had arrived when she could... and did not know if her friend, Tiamat, had even followed her. Honestly figured that her friend would not be joining her, and she was not going to blame her. Hunger sapped her strength, but the sight of the scene at hand curled her stomach and twisted the hunger from her mind. Strange new weapons were being used on those that were innocent, as she stepped over the corpse of a small child clinging to a stuffed toy. Blood pooled around the body as her gaze moves from one travesty to the next. A fire burned in her gut as she yelled out in a sharp, burning pain from deep within her chest. Her body doubled over as her vision grew hazy, and she threw up with the smell of death and gunpower filling her with every breath she took. Teeth grit as Raelyn corrects herself. There was an evil here... one that needed to be put down as she took a shaky step followed by another, and another. Each one, resolve built within the girl and those steps became steadier... vision clearer. Her lavender gaze flickering red and back as she moved on the enemy formation. Her right hand gripping her the imperial greatsword's hilt from its place on her back. A stray shot pinging off her armor seemed to be what was needed to snap the Uchiha from this deep well of rages she felt boiling up for deep within.

It was a rather expected series of bloodshed as a female shinobi brought herself into the line of gunfire and managed to cut down a couple of the black armor clad shinobi that were invading her village. With the shinobi pressed against the ground, his partially masked face grinned upwards at Sasaki. "Leaf... Sends their regards.." The trapped shinobi says, before biting down on something within his mouth and a momentary beeping sound would be heard. Beep. Beep. Boom! His head exploding in an instant, sending shrapnel of skull and brains splattering across the area where he had previously lay. It would appear that no other information was going to be obtained from this particular shinobi. The sudden explosion would draw the attention of another nearby black armor clad shinobi, who turned immediately raising his rifle and squeezing the trigger to fire a round directly at the Sasaki with the clear intent to kill.
With a gauntlet wielding swordsman running about and attacking and murdering the black armor clad shinobi that were running rampant and murdering civilians across the village of Hidden Katana. As Katsurou kicks off the head of one of the shinobi, sending him collapsing to the ground, another that was nearby immediately snaps to his attention towards their attacking and raising their gun in a moment's notice, squeezing the trigger and firing a shot with the intention of killing this male before he could put anymore of the actions they were committing into more of a delay.
It would appear that the first shot they had fired was an accidental miss, but the second one would not be so lucky for their target. The female black armor clad shinobi readjusted their sights upon the lavender eyed shinobi with the broadsword upon their back as they continued to move through the village. That did not matter much to this particular shinobi though, as she quickly pulled the trigger of her own rifle to fire a bullet at this shinobi for the second time. With the full expectation of their luck having already quickly run dry.
1. Sword Attack -> Speed = 10, Power = 23 2. Sword Attack -> Speed = 10, Power = 23 3. Sword Attack -> Speed = 10, Power = 23
Sasaki winced as the man said they were from the Hidden Leaf Village. It could not be true, not that she had any reason to believe him, but it was quite possible that this was factual information. Still, it was too late to continue the interrogation, as her captive had committed suicide. Then the gunshots rang out again and she did her best to avoid them, but the sting of superficial wounds hit her as the bullets managed to graze her. This made the confident heroine angry as she spun the blade up and prepared to continue the attack. Her weapon was one of pure beauty in its completed state and now it was time to stain that blueish steel blade red with the blood of her enemy.
Others had arrived to join the fight, not that she recognized either of the, but Sasaki was not one to turn down the aid of allies. If anything this would make repelling the attackers that much easier. The girl took the large sword and assumed her stance before she ran at one of the gunners in black armor, slashing downward with the pure force and power, which was only augmented by the speed emitter that made it lighter and easier to handle than the average claymore of that size. She slashed three times in rapid succession, giving her enemy little time to rethink their life choices.
Everything she was doing was for the Village, but the hardest part was tempering her anger into righteous indignation. A hero did not give in to rage, nor did they surrender their hearts to hatred. This is a quality about herself she swore she would keep so she could avoid falling into the same trap of angst and sorrow that the average ninja fell into. Still, despite her efforts, these black armored foes really tested her resolve when it came to her moral stance. It was so easy to keep a brave face and to talk the talk, but walking the walk in the face of such harsh adversity was a different experience all together. Still, if she wanted to be anything resembling a hero to this Village, she would need to rise above this challenge.
There was a curse, however, lingering around Sasaki. The Karinzanjutsu, and it's users were seldom ever freely chosen. It is rumored that the style chooses the swordsman, and in this case, the black flames fed off of Sasaki's anger and began to feed off the darkness in her heart. It was a technique she would need to temper and learn to control, just as her grandfather had taught her in her younger years. It was in the moment of battle that the silver haired swordwoman tried to steady her head and find her center in order to retain control and not unleash those deadly black flames, especially now that there were allied fighters in the vicinity. She could not risk tarnishing her reputation as a hero before it even began by engaging in tactics that resulted in friendly fire.
While in the air, a large pair of white, chakra wings unfurl from Katsurou's back allowing the male to dodge the shot targeting him. In the air, his sword technique allowed him the grace and agility of the white heron. A smirked crossed his face as he looks down to the shinobi that shot at him. "Not the only one with ranged techniques..." With two flaps of his powerful wings, the young male sends down two volleys of feathers, each infused with his wind element chakra to strengthen, and guide them to their target, the Black Armored Shinobi that made a pop shot at him. His gaze falls on Sasaki, who seems to be losing herself to anger as well, and a girl he did not recognize. Hopefully she would be able to hold her own as well, cause as that aimed to cut through the minion... eventually the boss was going to challenge one of the three of them.

It would appear that the first shot was directed to her, and its misfire caught the black armored shinobi off guard as much as it did Raelyn. The young Uchiha girl felt a surge of chakra flowing down her spine then through her limbs as the shinobi leveled the rifle at her once more, “Big mistake.” The next few seconds blur together as the shot rings out, The Sanada girl steps to the side, and then the shadows around the rifle wielding shinobi erupt into a murder of crows. Every shadow cast by a building, fire, and even the shinobi their self slowly began to fade into nothing as the crows beat their wings around the the black armored shinobi obscuring their view of what was going on around them. See, Raelyn was a Uchiha by blood still even if her eye had yet to awaken… and a part of a long line of shinobi that took pride in their skill on the battlefield as they did in the forge. “Why not…” The young girl’s voice seeming coming from all directions now, even then the beating and cawing of the crows threaten to drown it out, “… give in peacefully, and we come to accords.”
Outside of throwing a Genjutsu at the one Shinobi that fired on her, Raelyn draws the Imperial Broadsword from its place on her back, flourishing it in her right hand. Steadily she walked towards the armored opponent locked in the illusion of crowds flocking around them and readies the weapon in both hands as the core flares to life. Swinging the blade twice a blazing 'X' cutting through the sky targeting the nearest invading ninja to the afflicted target. After all, she did not want one of their allies to break the spell over them.

First a suicide, and then an immediately cleave of another black armored shinobi as Sasaki's sword cut right through the firearm wielding male like he was made of butter. He barely had time to react, as the attack tore through both him and his armor with apparent ease. Of course, it was not the only firearm wielding enemy in the area, and each time one was taken down it would appear as if more kept jumping up from almost any available angle. Aiming his own firearm from a rooftop nearby, the new black armor clad shinobi aimed down and fired a single round at Sasaki while watching her cleave his poor ally to pieces.
The chakra feathers that were launched at the black armor clad shinobi would pierce into him even before he was ready to fully react to it. Of course the feathers hit, but did not seem to actually fully manage to pierce the black clad armor that he wore. With that in mind, he aims his rifle once again and squeezes the trigger hard. He intended to make this a stronger shot, the chakra actually fueling through the firing chamber as a different sort of attack was sent towards Katsurou.
The original target aiming at Raelyn would immediately observe crows forming and flying around her, as she stands there stuck in stance caught within the genjutsu that she had placed upon her without knowledge or ability to escape from such a situation. The second black armor clad shinobi that had shown up and begun to attempt to wake his dazed ally, would immediately see Raelyn slashing her sword in the air, as flames cascaded towards him without enough time for him to do more than turn and brace himself for the attacks that were crashing into him. His arms and rifle raising up in an attempt to better defend himself but the attacks themselves slipped right through his attempted defense in order to leave gashes in his armor which began to smoke of the smell of burnt flesh that was underneath. Staggering backwards and falling onto his butt upon the ground, he raised his rifle and took quick aim at Raelyn, firing off a shot of his own in an attempt to put her down before she could do anything else to him or his genjutsu stunned ally.

Sasaki grit her teeth as she felt the anger surging through her. The death of one enemy just seemed to bring about another, and another, and another in an endless cycle of bloodshed and destruction. However, this was now an act of war, and possibly perpetrated by the Hidden Leaf Village. This predation of a greater power against a smaller with such a niche benefit was typical, and she had no reason to doubt the intelligence provided as she turned to face the one whom had placed a bullet in her path.
For a moment, it seemed like Sasaki had been shot, before a puff of smoke revealed that the would-be gunman had shot a log. Splinters sprayed instead of blood, as the real Sasaki appeared behind the enemy with her large blade before she squeezed the trigger three times in rapid succession, causing it to charge a large portion of her chakra into the blade. The sword began to glow white before she swung it twice in the speed she normally could once. 'White Raven, take flight. Speed on through the dark to find the light.', her sword hummed from the emitter to her mentally.
Sasaki felt the connection with the blade, and it was possible that she might be able to feel the power and soul put into all blades. It was just a part of her bloodline that the young sword maiden had yet to explore given how little about herself she actually knew. Though, the darkness the weapon spoke of was likely the rage that lingered in the outer limits of her soul. The anger that built from not knowing her parents, why they had abandoned her, or why so much was expected of her. This rage fueled her combat abilities to a degree.
Unknown to Sasaki, as she fought, that she had awoken just two spirits of blades that were and were to come from her own. The White Raven and the Black Dragon. The Daimyo line she came from were a line of sword smiths who could take aspects of themselves and put them into the blades they forged, giving them not just special powers, but a simulacrum of existence. In truth, these were just chakra entities sealed inside their creations. Though with the creation of the White Raven, the next creation of her soul had begun to bloom in self-righteous fury.
The black flames of the Karinzanjutsu were the mark of the Black Dragon in her soul, and so Sasaki gave in to the power of the rage as it began to flow through her. This was not a display of berserk insanity, but anger channeled into strength like a shounen hero from an action series might classically do. In reality, this was just the power of her chakra being made manifest through the sheer will and emotions driven by the attack on her home. It was the black fire of her soul that was starting to burn hot now, and as she tried to carve apart her enemies, she felt the rush crying out for the blood of the Leaf Ninja who started this apparently.
Seeing that the feather's did very little to the armored foe, Katsurou gives those wings a flap before another shot rings out and the bullet tags the young man causing him to fall from the sky. Clawed Gauntlet clutching the wound in his chest as blood leaked between his covered fingers. Slowly he raises to his feet and coughs up some more blood, before kicking off the ground and returning to the air once more. "Think that would be enough to take me down?" Once more the young male took hold of his sword and brandished it, "I have one more... trick up my sleeve." A single flap of those large, white heron wings and Katsurou would flood the immediate area with white feathers to blind the opponent and allow him to swiftly, and gracefully, move behind the opponent. Tsume, the Claw, was the clawed gauntlet mad of black metal on the young Gekkou's left hand, and it reached out to slash at the spine of the black armored shinobi, before that extended sword in the right came in to chop along the nap of the shinobi's neck. In a blink Katsurou was in the air before the shinobi, a light sweat dripping from his brow as his clawed hand reaches for his chest once more to help slow the bleeding once more.

As if to prove a point, Raelyn leaps agilely to the side to dodge the bullet from this gunman. "Wait... Why am I fighting you?" No sooner than the words left her lips; the shadows around this second shinobi gave way to crows. The many wings of these crows flapping as the birds seemed to fly and flutter around the black armor-clad shinobi. Curious to the weapons this invading forced used, Raelyn takes the rifle from the first shinobi that she had under the effect of her Genjutsu. Now she had two under its effect, as it seemed these individuals were not trained to resist the mental attacks. Seemingly clear of anymore of these shinobi, the young shinobi from Craftsman begins to break down, and examine the rifle she had taken, "Interesting."
