*Kneading my futon chakra, I draw my sword with my right hand. I infuse the sword with my futon chakra and begin to to swing the sword in a horizontal arc. As I swing the sword, I release the futon chakra evenly across the arc. I manipulate the shape of this released chakra in such a way that I form a powerful whirlwind directed at your clone.*
Does the jutsu just knock the opponent forcibly off their feet?
It can, if you describe it like that. I think of wind techniques in either one or two categories. The first does blunt force damage/impact damage, like the blasts of wind, gusts, etc. The second is the cutting category which shreds on impact, like blades, scythes, etc.
