What do you know about Cloud ken and why do you want to learn it

 

[21 Savage]

I'm supposed to post here too.

Cloud Kenjutsu is a special category in sword techniques usable only by members of Kumogakure (the usergroup not just bio). Based on observation, the style seems to revolve around employing wide, elemental-enhanced slashes as well as the use of misdirection such as shadow clones or the Body Replacement Technique. I think Omoi was the only person shown to use it.
Why I want to Learn it?
Basically I don't use the normal kenjutsu that much tbvh but I've decided to break that jinx and start the "complete" cqc battling.

It's a specific set of kenjutsu techniques, only permitted to those of Kumogakure. The style varies although, the techniques themselves are usually more complex than others. Often utilizing a set of slash patterns, or movements. The style has many different techniques, and all are very useful in battle as they carry much more of a punch then normal freeform, and yet give the user more freedom then that of the normal Ken Techs.

I want to learn it partly because I'm a close range fighter, I use tai mostly. However ken is something I had dabbled in when I first joined. It wouldn't hurt to get into Bukijutsu in general.

First and foremost its a feint and it takes advantage of the opponents confusion to land and attack. I'd use it after the opponent had used an attack that would restrict him in some way shape or form in the next move. It's also powerful in that its very simple and can be apart of almost any combination.

As one of the training haze clone rushes in to attack with a sword, Hakai would grab a hold of his blade with both hands on the hilt maintaining a calm demeanor. As soon as the haze clone moves his sword to cut Hakai, He suddenly replaces with a log of wood only to appear right behind the clone before performing a downward lateral sword slash to disperse the clone.
Basically, this involves the user reacting to an opponent's move by substituting with a log of wood (as seen in the series) to move behind the adversary under cover of a smoke cloud. As he reappears, he instantly slashes the foe from behind. This could be quite deadly if the foe has no form of deductive ability like sensory or dojutsu. It takes full advantage of the momentary shock felt by the foe as he disappears.

( Kumo-Ryū Omotegiri ) - Cloud-Style Front Beheading
A simple sword attack which involves the user slashing in front of them to assault a target. This is vague such that the sword strike could be a lateral, diagonal or horizontal slice or in any form the user pleases.

( Urakasumigiri no Jutsu ) - Hidden Mist Beheading Technique
Also a basic sword attack that involves the user to have made 'several' shadow clones which attacks the target from different angles forcing them to retreat above after which the real user appears behind them and assaults from above.
This is pretty clean with the fact that it preys on the target's blind spot and its forcing the target to do what the user wants but the downside is the 'several clones' issue. In this RP the maximum is 4 so why would I make four clones which would divide my pool into 4 parts?

( Kumo-Ryū Uragiri ) – Cloud Style Reverse Beheading
I like this. The user makes an unpredictable clock wise spin using the gathered momentum to slash any target behind them effectively. A perfect surprise attack when facing more than an opponent positioned in front and behind the user. The user would then decide to end the one behind him first with one clean strike.
