Alright so Im here with a suggestion for the update of the Samurai Character Class because I feel they deserve it and is needed. Let’s get some small things out of the way and let me say: No I don’t mean Samurai being able to use elemental jutsu. What I mean and have come with here today is a neutral and slightly biased suggestion about the update of them. Since the release of the group they have been restricted so badly it’s not even fair to see.
In terms of some people saying Samurai can’t use ninjutsu, that’s not true. Why? It’s not that they can’t use it, it’s that they choice not to utilize ninjutsu or anything remotely along the lines of the shinboi. I have seen past Samurai try to submit cj based on the exact way of which a Samurai uses chakra flow based kenjutsu techniques and be declined because “Samurai can’t use chakra like that” which again not true. Samurai has chakra control, why? Because let’s do by manga facts, all humans born after Hagoromo and Hamura are born with chakra right? Of course they are, but in some cases like Rock Lee who can’t use chakra externally for ninjutsu and genjutsu exists which makes sense. Are Samurai the same? I think not, otherwise Samurai Saber would not exist.
Now let me point out some info from the Naruto Hiden which are novels that tells stories after the events of Naurto or before, showing info that authors wrote. Are they canon? Yes because Kishimoto did the art and approved of the stories hence worth making it canon material. In the Garaa Hiden it was mentioned that Shinobi and SAMURAI where the taught in the ways of Ninshu which is the religion and the peaceful precursor of modern ninjutsu created by Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki. Samurai where the more peaceful and idealistic ones opposed to the ninjas using chakra to create bonds with it. Samurai for generations choice the peaceful life of ninshu , and look what it came to be. They are the only ones in the modern era who still uses the peaceful ideals of Ninshu, being a neutral country and not being a part of the ninja worlds affairs aside from the Fourth War due to the world being at risk rather than just nations senselessly fighting each other.
They chose the life of not wanting to use ninjutsu, not that they can’t. In my defense again we can look at the Samurai Saber and variants of it shown in the manga and anime where they can swing their sword and release a projectile based slash of chakra. Isnt the same as a ninja doing it with Wind Release just its elemental now? Yes it is. The Samurai Saber can even be called the exact same as method of chakra flow Sasuke uses in his sword to use Lightning Release or how Kirabi can use it inside of a pencil.
Samurai with these logical reasons have shown the ability to use Shape Manipulation to an extent, chakra control as well with the ties of chakra flow and releasing blades of chakra as ranged attacks. In closing I think Samurai deserve a small revamp similar to how the Kaguya did. I don’t remember in the manga Kaguya’s having pain resistance but it was assumed and made into the rp that they are due to the nature of how Shikotsumyaku works ripping the flesh and forcefully growing the bones etc. Then why cant Samurai not logically be able to mold chakra on the outside like a ninja. Yeah to keep it close to the manga lets not have them using elemental chakra naturally but at least allow them to make more chakra based kenjutsu or taijutsu along those lines. Also it wouldn’t hurt to allow them to use Kai at the least since Samurai are very weak to Genjutsu.
