Hiko of the enchanting blade in sig, update pending.
Hiko stood amongst the blanket of snow below, her feet sunk in ever so slightly leaving imprints within its white canvas, the cold air gripped her body as if to bind her, the heat from her soft warm breath in contrast with the cold air left a plume of smoke before her, her eyes narrowed as she stood before her opponent, her glare a show of respect and a show of challenge but most of all was a sign of her concentration, a woman stood before her on this occasion, this was the first time she had fought another woman she held a silent respect for her, both hailed from a different background yet both followed the way of Bushido, the way of the sword, abilities both gained in different ways, they both knew why they were here and what they had to do upon meeting, no words need be said, Hiko felt compelled towards this other woman craving a taste of her blade to test herself and she was sure the woman opposing her felt the same way.
Snow fell lightly around her as Hiko hovered her right hand over the hilt of her blade twisting her body ever so slightly as she did so, she would slide her left foot backwards leaving a trail within the snow as she took a long forwards leaning stance, bending this back leg slightly she pushed off the ground into a swift dash across the snow, small snow debris shot up being left behind within her wake as she moved, each pant she took to breathe left behind a small plume of hot air which took the form of a small cloud, her robes would flow within the icy wind, with a cold and confident tone Hiko spoke only a few words.
"Lets end this quickly"
However deep down these words were nothing but a farce, she wanted this battle to last as long as it could, wanting it to bring out of her the very same joy she felt back in her Monster hunting days when she would be on the brink of her abilities, straining her body to its up most, she could hardly contain herself.
Closing the distance almost within an instant Hiko gripped hold of her hilt tightly, her fingers wrapping around as if to embrace it, her left hand gripping the sheath holding it in binding within place as she released her sword from its dark confines, the blade glistened brightly within the light as it was drawn forth in one swift arcing motion slashing at the opponent with great speed, as Hiko slashed she would twist her body and pivot her feet in the desired direction in order to get the greatest speed and power necessary, Hiko's slash would be aimed across the torso of her opponents body straight across the chest and slightly at an angle, her sword would swish through the air cutting through the snowflakes that fell around and before her effortlessly which only added to the beauty of Hiko's blade.
Alisha could feel the cold winds dance across her smooth skin, her neck length, raven-colored hair swiveled from left, to right in a fit of harmony. She stood before another of her ***, a small woman, only identifiable by her stature, and voice. The facially indistinguishable masked-woman dashed forward, Alisha could feel the vigor, and passion the woman harbored, even before their clash. At the unsheathing of her sword, Alisha's eyes went wide, removing her pair of chakra sabres from the crossed scabbard at the small of her back.
Beautiful.
That'd been the only thought she'd been capable of before the girl struck, carving away with an arc motion, her foot pivoting to increase the lethality of the strike. It was clear to Alisha this girl knew what she'd been doing.
Another swordsman.
Crisscrossing her dagger brandishing hands over the other so the weapons would form a 'v' shape, then tilting them in the direction the woman sought to injure, Alisha's daggers caught the beautiful blade's edge, pinning her chakra sabres heavily against the blade. Effectively parrying the woman's strike, she'd simultaneously run forward, while continuing to keep the blade pinned and blocked, sending her left leg into the woman's rib cage with a swift kick. Then, upon her foot's contact, Alisha would rotate her dagger's position to the opposite edge of the woman's blade. The small girl would fly sideways, while her sword remained trapped within the dual-dagger's maw, forcefully disarming her.

Hiko's sword flew true cutting the tense air and snow as it moved, however was soon met with dis-fortune when her swords blade collided with her opponents small daggers letting off a loud clang as the two metals met, the sound reverberated through the air almost like a shock wave, now caught within there grasp, this however did not worry Hiko for one moment, her eyes flickered with what seemed like fire and opportunity as she had already begun her next move, it simply saved her opponent from the initial strike and nothing more, this was far from over and both knew this.
Upon coming into contact with the daggers Hiko had already begun to perform her next movement, her movements were like an elegant dance, Hiko pulled her blade back towards herself which was wielded in her right hand, the sword would slide out of the daggers mouth beautifully, the sound of the blades sliding off each other was like music, as she pulled the blade back and out of the daggers she would position her body behind it slightly and place her delicate looking left hand onto the back of the blade reinforcing it with her palm, bringing the blade downwards slightly to cover her rib cage, the point of the sword facing upwards to the sky where the snowflakes continued to hail from, the opponents leg would meet with her sword as she kicked cutting into her own leg from the force, as soon as contact was just made between the leg and the sword Hiko eyes would once again flicker with opportunity she would once again let her sword fly slashing in an arc once more, this time up through the middle of the opponents leg, cutting straight through the opponents foot on the way upwards and leaving a beautiful trail of blood splattering behind as the sword made its way up the leg and eventually to her opponents lower belly area completely cutting across the belly attempting to disembowel her.
Hiko's body as she slashed up the leg would rotate and she would move her right foot in front and across her left foot, as soon as the blade had slashed across her opponents belly she would continue round in a 360 degree manner and raise her left leg leading with the heel, performing a spinning heel kick aimed straight to the temple of her opponent, the force from her initial sword swing and the rotation of her body would allow for ample momentum and the timing between the slash to the belly and the kick to the head would be but mere seconds.
This kick would send her opponent falling to her right and would cause her brain to shake from the force, the effect of this would be her vision becoming distorted, shaky, almost as if she was looking as reality from beneath murky water.

As the woman would attempt to retract her sword, Alisha would clamp her daggers heavily onto the blade, disabling it from being pulled out. Quickly after that initial action, Alisha would turn the woman's sword, allowing the edge to point upwards, then slamming her daggers into the ground on top of the sword's weak-point; the foible. With the girl's sword pinned by its foible, it'd pose a difficult task to remove the blade from its confines, all the while fending off Alisha's incoming assault.
Alisha jolted forward, allowing the woman zero grounds for retaliation, tackling the woman by her waist, the force of impact would disarm her from the pinned sword, as well launch her onto the ground in an entangled grapple. Using the sudden disorientation to her advantage, Alisha would roll on top of the tiny woman, channeling a quick surge of chakra through her right hand showcasing a chakra-made dagger, while her left hand would tightly subdue the woman's right wrist.
Perhaps she'll give up... Before this turns into something she may not be able to come back from. Alisha contemplated, hovering the dagger composed of chakra an inch away from the woman's jugular. A feint of superiority unbeknownst to the girl.
Hiko as she twisted her torso slightly began to pull her sword back towards her self felt but immediately felt the resistance being applied by her opponent, Tssk a pain she thought as she clenched her jaw from slight frustration, she knew that this was not going to be easy but who knew that this woman would go to such lengths just to disarm her, the opponent clearly did not want her to regain her precious blade under no circumstances... a fear of her skills perhaps, no matter although passionate for the way of the sword it is not Hiko's only skills, in fact known to very little Hiko's Taijutsu capabilities rivals that of her own swordplay and paying this much attention to Hiko's blade could prove to be a fatal mistake to the opponent.
As she went to pull back her sword Hiko would upon feeling the resistance loosen her grip immediately letting her blade go, pivoting with her left foot with the snow at a slight angle causing the snow to part, Hiko would raise her right leg swiftly and thrust it down perform a stamping action aimed just above the opponents right knee cap, slightly on the outside of the leg, this stamp was fast and sudden taking the opponent by surprise, upon connecting, this stamp would completely snap the knee joint causing her stance to crumble causing her body to lower itself in compensating for balance and dealing a massive amount of pain in the process, this would make any sort of future movement from the opponent almost impossible.
Hiko's right palm would hover in front of her solar plexus keeping guard with the knife edged side facing the opponent, her own fists, palms, elbows in fact her entire body although delicate looking gave off the same aura that could be felt from the swords themselves, her entire body was her weapon and she did not need to rely upon her blade.
After completing the stamping action Hiko would not retract her right foot, in fact she would step through with the stamp flowing from one movement to the next like an elegant river placing her right foot slightly behind the opponent, bending her knees slightly she would take a horse stance facing side on towards her opponent and finally leaning through more towards her opponent by bending her right leg further and straightening her left leg, delivering a vicious elbow strike to the opponents nose packed full of momentum from the fluid like movement of her stance, aimed at the bridge smashing it, blood would pour and splatter turning parts of the white canvas below a crimson red.
The transition of her stance was masterful, anyone versed in the way of combat could see this, the entire exchange itself would last but a mere few instants showcasing how fast her movements actually were.

+10 Kenjutsu makes my E-rank capable of damage.
Alisha watched as the girl determined she'd no other choice but to relinquish her blade, removing her grip from the beautiful sword. Perhaps this woman believed her skill in Taijutsu would be enough to overwhelm the raven-haired woman, a mistake she'd regret. Alisha never slowed, witnessing the girl's left leg pivot, while her right swiftly followed after, in an attempt to strike her lower regions. A plan that would not succeed.
In a counter-like fashion, Alisha reacted instantly, jutting her left knee forward to catch the woman's right foot. Simultaneously, with her daggers still erect, Alisha commanded her chakra to shroud them, stabbing downward deep into the woman's right ankle, severely impairing her movement.
Leaving her chakra sabres inside of the girl's ankle, Alisha would quickly follow up with an open palmed slap, backhanding the small woman with her left hand, sending her toppling sideways in disorientation. Her brows remained furrowed as she stared at the crippled woman before her, she'd wanted more. She'd wanted...
Blood.

Just want to point out that the jutsu you used called training edge means that it cant actually stab or cut, since the technique acts as a scabbard for your blades, so even tho they can do damage now, they cant pierce of cut, at best they do blunt damage
The air grew colder, snow fell faster and the wind blew greater all of these ailments could not stop the two from the intense battle they were both involved in, Hiko as she stomped downwards aimed at the outside of the knee, as her opponent jutted forwards in order to intercept that same strike, Hiko adapting to the situation merely passed by the opponents knee on the outside of her leg and placed her right foot behind Alisha's firmly within the snow instead of following through with the intended strike, Hiko's swift footwork was incredible and mesmerising even amidst all this snow which could cause mistakes for even the most hardened veterans, at the same time as she did this her body led by a right elbow strike would propel forwards using her own momentum to meet her opponents momentum in order to increase the power of her own elbow strike, this elbow strike would be aimed towards the opponent solar plexus and would appear to happen in a flash due to how close they were to each other, it would certainly take her opponent by surprise.
As Hiko moved her body forwards with her elbow strike, her right knee would oppose her opponents knee by once again using it to press on the outer side of her opponents knee, this would cause her opponent unbalance, mixed with the position of Hiko's right foot making it so that her opponents foot could not easily retreat could very well cause her opponent to lose her footing and stumble and then meet the full extent of the elbow strike too the face either way, both would be effective. The strike to the Solar plexus however would cause her opponents breathing to enter dissaray and become hazy, the cold weather making this even more so, In order to guard from any opposing strike that may come her way, Hiko's left arm would be across her body using forearm guarding her solar plexus, her left palm open facing the opponent, hovering slightly below the eyes guarding her face
