[Detective L]

Dean makes his way to the training field, with his bag strapped on his back and wearing his dark Nekura cloak over his usual attire. His headband had been scratched out, he was now a criminal of the worst kind.

"Hello there, what's your name? We'll be going through Kenjutsu, I believe. Tell me, what do you know of Kenjutsu? What does it encompass, and how would you incorporate it into your fighting style?"

Dean asked, his voice cold as ice.

 

[Shroud]

waking up slightly he opens his eyes to see a man approching he gets up dusts off his cloak and grabs his sword and puts it on his backI'm Zero and yeah its kenjutsu he says this rubbing his eyes
kenjutsu is mainly used by infusing chakra into a blade to improve its cutting power, reach etc.my sword is already part of my main fighting style i whould use it to increase the power and speed of my attacks making them more effective and most importantly more deadly.

 

[Detective L]

"Not really chakra infusion, but Kenjutsu itself the art of using the sword. The sword becomes an extension of ones own body, and allows one to extend your reach, the blade becomes you and vice versa, the monks usually I say. Kenjutsu is fast, and it is deadly, indeed it can be infused with chakra and even some elemental infusion comes forth but the main aspect of this skill is the usage of one's sword against an opponent. Like Taijutsu, Kenjutsu can be described as faster as elemental techniques when very close to the opponent, so it comes in handy. Nonetheless, you'll need a sword.

Anyway, I will explain the technique to you and I want you to perform it against my clone, give me at least 2 advantages and disadvantages and also, how you would use the technique in battle."

Dean touches the sealing mark on his left wrist, and brings forth a single katana and throws it towards Zero.

With this technique, you will use the sword I gave you and perform a sequence of slashes with your sword, either horizontal or vertical slashes, and then finish it off with a powerful final slash to deal liberal damage to the opponent. Use it against my clone, and also remember the other things I asked of you."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Zero.

Zero pulls off his cloak revealing his shirt and slight veiw of his newly aquired chaimail and pulls out his sword hitting the katana knocking it towards a nearby tree he then performs a series of slashes on the clone and then finishs with a final more powerful slash completing the move as instructed

[Detective L]

"Good job on performance, but you have to add the advantages, disadvantages of the technique, as well as you would use it in battle, too."

 

[Shroud]

adavntages better than normal freeform slashes i guess disadvanages not freeform and cost chakra really the only disadvantage i could think of im a little drunk right now plus i have adhd so im not really focused enough to properly right this

 

[Detective L]

"Good, moving on."

Description: The user punches the opponent a few times and finishes them with two final slashes with their blade or sword.

"Okay, with this technique you will deliver several punches to the opponent, and then once they are staggered, deliver two final slashes with your sword. These can be aimed anywhere on the opponent's body, and can be used to several vital areas, or not."

 

[Shroud]

after finsihing the move dean creates a clone zero then slides down his gloves to where the metal part was a his knuckles and delivers several hits to the clone staggering it he then reaches for his sword with his left and performs two quick slashes through the chest he then sheathes his sword and the momment the sword is all the way in the sheath the clone dissperces becuse epicness
advantages staggering hits i guess and a quick finisher disadvantages you have to be able to punch the opponent to stagger him to use this move so pretty useless against say a samurai whos in armor or someone like me who wears heavy chainmail or a hozuki sly bastards

 

[Detective L]

"Very good, Zero."

Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 25
Description: The user spins with his tantō, hitting the target several times.

"Now, with this technique you will extend your blade outwards as you pivot on one foot and spin your body. This allows you to hit the opponent several times with your sword, and cause multiple cuts, also cool against a group of opponents. Use it against my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Zero.

 

[Shroud]

Zero with sword in hand body flickers to the clone and spins several times with his sword cuting the clone several times and dipercing it break dancing style
adavntages it can hit severl targets and can happen relativley fast if used corrctly and i imagine this can aslo be used for dodging disadvantages while spinning it whould be hard to see and you can be left dizzyy afterwards what with the wait being so long

 

[Detective L]

Sorry for the late reply.

"Very good, and yes, it also leaves your back exposed for a short moment so there's that too. Onto the next one."

Rank: C
Type: Offensive

Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 25
Description: The user will drop down upon the opponent from mid air pointing their sword downwards and drilling it down into the opponent.

"A technique that can only be used once you are descending from above your opponent, either because you just jumped down a higher structure or because you jumped high into the air and is now coming down upon him. With your sword in hand, you will point it downwards, and aim to drill it into the opponent, preferably aiming for the head or shoulder area, causing quite some damage. Very simple, use it against my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Zero.

 

[Shroud]

Zero listens To the instructions given and sees the clone he puts chakra in his feet and jumps high into the air. sword in hand he points it downwards and he begins to spin the clone looks up as Zero's sword impales his in the face the clone disappears and Zero regains his balance. and explains the disadvantages and advantages
Disadvantages leaves you vulnrable while in the air say as a counter a person whould send a stream of fire and since your in the air it whould be hard to dodge it.
Advantages it whould be a great sneak attack say you hide in thhe ground and jump out high into the air suprizing your opponent before they get stabbed in the face

 

[Detective L]

Description: The user bolts in front of the enemy who they then strike with their sword handle before delivering several kicks that sends the enemy into the air. The user then bolts across to the far off location of the enemy who they then punch violently into an obstacle.

"Now this technique is a bit different. You will run towards the opponent, and strike them with the handle of your sword, preferably in the stomach so they are temporarily staggered. You will then deliver several kicks to the opponent, and send them into the air. You will then dash to where the opponent lands, and punch them into an obstacle, like say a tree or what not. This depends on the terrain at hand. Use it against my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Zero.

 

[Shroud]

Zero runs towards the clone which is running towards him sword in hand at his waist he reaches the clone and moves his sword forward in front of him the but of the sword hits him in the stomach a few inches below its ribcage staggering it and knocking the air out of it.[since mine dosent have a pommel]he then throws out a fury of kicks which launches the clone in the air he moves to where the clone was about to land and as it falls he punches it hard as he could sending it towards a wall the clone hits the wall and disappears in a cloud of smoke.

zero regains his breath and explains what he thinks the advantages and disadvantages are
Advantages: first hit could stagger the opponent meaning they cant dodge the rest and is a great way to defeat a opponent without killing them
disadvantages not able to use in tight spaces i guess this move is all about where your at and if the first hit dosent stagger they could easy recover in the air and use the leverage to attack

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Zero.

 

[Shroud]

Zero Charges Chakra into his sword it glows faint with the color crimson he makes a simple slash at the clone it is struck with speed and power a crimson cresant shape appears where he struck hitting the clone lightly it then dissappeares Zero then explains what he thinks what the weaknesses and strengths are

Weaknesses:requires chakra and time to charge i guess
Strengths:the crimson wave cuases some damage its chakra infused so i imagine it has increases cutting abilitys and the wave could probaly be used on its own to knock a enemy down also looks fing awesome
