Orochimaru would watch as the katana his sensei threw towards him sliced through the air. The whistling sound indicated this blade was indeed functional and not a training blade. Keeping his legs planted Orochimaru would twist his body with snake like agility at an almost inhumane angle causing the katana to whiz past him harmlessly. After all Orochimaru had brought his own weapon. Opening his mouth Orochimaru began to cough violently as his sword of Kusunagi extended from the mouth of a snake inside his own mouth.Sorry about the wait bro x-x
Tasuke arrives with two Katanas, these weren't just simple training blades neither - there were the real ****ing dealio. He quickly tossed a sheathed on to his student, hoping he had his guard up already. If not then he'd get smacked by a real ****ing SWORD.
"Hello student. THis is Intense KenKen Slice Training 101. I would like you to simply get into your best KENJUTSU Stance!!!!!"
Orochimaru would watch as the katana his sensei threw towards him sliced through the air. The whistling sound indicated this blade was indeed functional and not a training blade. Keeping his legs planted Orochimaru would twist his body with snake like agility at an almost inhumane angle causing the katana to whiz past him harmlessly. After all Orochimaru had brought his own weapon. Opening his mouth Orochimaru began to cough violently as his sword of Kusunagi extended from the mouth of a snake inside his own mouth.
Orochimaru begins facing his sensei at short range, his sword of kusanagi hanging from his mouth. He waits patiently for combat to begin. For when a snake's territory is invaded, it avoids the trespasser by coiling up or retreating. It never initiates an assault. His center of gravity low, as he utilizes the snake style. Distinguished by circular movement when delivering parries and attacks, snake style employs an upright, mobile stance as opposed to the horse stance used by most other styles. This mobile stance enables quick advances and sidestepping. Since snake stylists are taught to spring from rest to full attack, they do not use preparatory stances. Snake stylists rely on rapid, alternating jabs as well as bobbing and weaving to evade counterattacks. Orochimaru focuses his breathing in to a rhythmic pattern, staring his opponent down as his body sways slightly side to side, almost as though he was attempting to hypnotize him.
Finally, some combat training.
Orochimaru would listen to the instructions of his sensei noting his disgusted expression with a little grin. Sure it was a little disgusting but that's why it was so easily overlooked as a function. Using snakes inside his body to manipulate his sword gave him an unparalleled manipulation other traditional swordsman would never attain. But for now he would follow his sensei instructions and display proficiency in the basic swordsman style. The large snake would slither from his mouth down to his right hand releasing the sword of kusanagi in to his hand as he focused chakra in to the blade. Rubbing his left hand smoothly just above the blades edge orochimaru would mimic his sensei creating something similar to a chakra scabbard along the blade making it safer. Before grasping both hands tightly on the blade he would use the same leg motions of the stance he adopted to manoeuvre rapidly and wildly as he slashed in multiple directions with horizontal and vertical slashes using one and both hands. Even taking time to add some flair he would rotate the blade in to different grips and throw it around spinning in to the air and catching it. Orochimaru was a very agile and dexterous person making up for what he lacked in raw power by having an almost supernatural ability to twist and move his body. Finishing his display and awaiting further instruction.
All of a sudden his instructor was silent, a silence that would not be thought possible as his Sensei looks at him, a face upon his which much resembles this picture of our Queen Jennifer Lawrence as Orochimaru coughs up this sword... thing...

He stood like this for a moment, staring at the sword, wondering how it got there and where it has been, wondering how else this student of his was going to violate his eyeballs and maybe even violate him. Oh lord. He just kept staring, his voice a low hopeless tone as he speaks still staring at the saliva covered sword.
"Okay, I'm sure a man like you is familiar with chakra manipulation; your task is to simply create a chakra scabbard around your blade making it blunt..." he lets out a sigh as he continues to speak in this monotonous fashion, "... and suitable for sparring, it will remain like this until I say otherwise..."
Tasuke does the same to his own Katana.
( Shuuren Kiwa ) - Training Edge
Type: Supplementary
Rank: E
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 5
Damage: N/A
Description: This is a technique generally taught to aspiring swordsman and could be considered the opposite of using wind chakra to lengthen and sharpen a blade. Usually, a Swordmaster or other instructor would use their own chakra to create a small “U” shape around the edges or point of a weapon. The chakra acts as an invisible scabbard on the blade, allowing the students to spar without killing each other or wounding each other past minor bruises and aches caused by the blunt force of the “scabbard” blade making contact. The user activates this technique by extending their hand along a ridge and just letting a small amount of chakra out. This technique is very simple and quick.
"Once you have done that, take your blade into both hands...I would like to see you perform a Vertical and Horizontal Slash..."

Listening to his sensei instructions orochimaru would flip the sword in to the air catching it in the snake mouth and charging at his sensei. Swinging his blade horizontally to start with followed by a diagonal upwards slash that he would chain in to a pirouette that followed in to a diagonal descending slash aimed to the other side of the body that would create an almost x pattern in the slashes. Chaining this with quick taijutsu orochimaru would exploit the gaps in his slashes to deliver quick snake style strikes using a similar hand position as gentle fist to drive his knuckles in to the senseis sensitive locations namely the lungs and the sternum.
"Lovely...I guess....Just performing simple slashes from different angles and grips is a principle of the way of the sword; you can be as creative as you like with it!"
( Ken Rendan no Jutsu ) - Sword Barrage Technique
Type: Offensive
Rank: C
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 30
Description: With this technique, the user will make a sequence of slashes with their sword and finishes with a powerful final slash dealing damage to their enemy.
"But you can also combine your sword skills with Taijutsu of course, I want you to throw a couple of punches in your Combo. Come at me like you mean it and I will try to block accordingly."
Tasuke stands with his feet spread equally apart and his blunt Katana held vertically in front of him, the blade slightly angled so that the tip was pointing sort of upwards and sort of forwards.
( Ikari Nomikomu no Jutsu ) - Fury Swallow Technique
Type: Offensive
Rank: C
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 30
Description: The user punches the opponent a few times and finishes them with two final slashes with their blade or sword.

Yes sensei I know what a tanto is. I don't have one with me persay but I do have the next best thing.
IT was a very clever tactic indeed, using his tongue to perform the slashes whilst also punching at the same time was a new and creative use of their own style - it also gave them the upper hand. Tasuke takes a leap back so that he would be out of range of the first horizontal slash, but Orochimaru's forward movements wouldn't allow him to simply avoid the rest of the strikes, he however had two arms and would use them. Tasuke brings his blade to clash down against the upwards strike whilst also punching the other arm away. He quickly brought his blade back up after parrying the strike, moving to intercept the other whilst then back-fisting his opponents follow up punch. He takes a quick leap back and claps his hand against the bottom of his palm.
"Excellent Attack. Do you know what a Tanto is and do you have one?"
