~A beautifull day to get cut~

 

[Izuna Uchiha]

Indeed it is U_U Though I do not plan on cutting you...for now >=}

Get your sword out and attack me with all you've got D:<

 

[Phobos]

I pull out my sword, holding it in my right hand, come closer to you with my right leg in front and swing my sword at you from right to the left and in the middle of swing I push the sword downwards, towards your leg.

I pull out my sword, holding it in my right hand, come closer to you with my right leg in front and swing my sword at you from right to the left and in the middle of swing I push the sword downwards, towards your leg.

*As you're coming, I block your sword by placing mine perpendicular to the ground on my left side (your right). This position allow me to block your attack even if you deviate it at the last second.*

You must be registered for see images

*As our swords collide, I infuse chakra in my arm to give me a momentary boost in strength, pushing your sword to your right and in one fluid circle motion, and as your sword is as far as me as it can get, I place my sword at your throat*

Let's not waste any more time with this little spar. You don't have to fight me as long as the other, I know your skills.

Let us begin with something easy. Go stand over there, and I shall throw kunais and shurikens at you. Use your sword to either deviate out of harms way, or simply cut them in two (sending both piece flying).

*As you place yourself, I reach for my kunai holdsters and start shooting a barrage of kunais and shurrikens at you*

 

[Phobos]

*I stand ready for your attacks, as they come I swing my sword at the kunais and shurikens, direction of my swings always depends on where are the projectiles going and in what order (ie. first towards my head then my chest etc..) and I take down several projectiles at once, also swinging my sword in fluid motions since it takes less time to change direction this way to hit more incoming projectiles.

Good. I knew the basics wouldn't be a problem:

Let's try some offensive basic techniques now.

*I slam my hands together and summon 100 wooden dummy all around us*

Courtesy of Scary Yamato

I want you to perform a combo on those dummies. First, rush at one of them and infuse a great deal of chakra in both your arms. Then, perform a slash on the dummy (right to left, downward...etc) and release all of the chakra in your arm at once to completely annihilate the dummy with raw strength.

Once you destroyed it, turn around and find another target. When you've pinpointed it, raise your sword and stab him in where his vitals would be.

Do this with about 30-40 dummies and come find me when you're done

 

[Phobos]

*I grab my sword with both of my hands and run towards a dummy while gathering lot's of chakra and storing it in my hands, as I'm getting close to the dummy I raise my hands with the sword, jump forward and slash the dummy downward and while doing this I release all the chakra stored in my hands to increase strenght and speed of the strike greatly- completely destroying the first dummy.

As I'm getting back to the ground I look to my left on the dummy that is right next to me, just as I get to the ground I raise my sword on the level of my chest, point it to the right and simultaneously spin to my right piercing the chest of the dummy where normaly a heart would be, then I kick the dummy with my right leg to help my get the sword back.

Again charging chakra into my arms and going for next target swinging my sword from right to left through another dummy while releasing all the stored chakra destroying the middle of the dummy and sending it's remaining top part flying.
Me: Dummies- 3:0 xd

I then continue with other dummies slashing them from all directions even from bottom up, chopping thier heads off, piercing them through- be it heart or head and continuing till the there is nearly half of them destroyed.

Looking for my sensei now
<_<
>_>
going lower and then climbing on undamaged dummy to look from above
>_>
<_<

where is he? ~.~

Looks like you got the hang of it pretty fast ^^

Very well done. I see that you have already mastered the standard Kenjutsu. Let us now move on to the real core of these new techniques.

*I create a shadow clone and make him draw out his sword*

This shadow clone will now attack you. You do not know if he'll stab or slash you and from which angle it'll come, however you need to be ready to counter his attack by slashing/slapping his sword with your own, with the intend to disarm him so put all your strenght in it. You may not disarm my clone, you the shear impact will repel his sword and give you an oppening. Then, punch him in the guts and before he could even disappear in a smoke cloud, slash at his neck while he's bent over from the punch.

*my clone then rush at you, and tries to slash from left to right*

 

[Phobos]

*I am standin with my sword pulled out and having my chakra prepared already as I did in previous training, then as your clone charge at me and start swinging his sword I immediately swing mine while releasing the chakra in my hand to make a powerfull swing hitting your clone's sword in first third of it's lenght (I'm swinging from top left to down right) making him either drop his sword or shoot his hand into the right and down away from his body. As soon as our swords colide I punch him with my left hand into stomach with such strenght that he bends forward and with a fluid motion my other hand makes a circle going alonge the ground and up chopping your's clone head off with upward slash.

Creative, I like the touch

(Kenjutsu : San wishe) – Sword Arts : Three Wishes
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: This is a three moves combination in which the user will start by blocking an incoming sword strike by giving a powerful slash on his opponent’s blade, making him lose his balance if he manage to hold on to his blade. Then, he will give a powerful punch in the guts of his opponent, making him bend in two from the pain. Finally, without losing a second, he will slash his sword downward while aiming at his enemy’s neck as he’s still bent from the punch.

Now the next Kenjutsu I will teach you is tricky, you must know that it cannot be used against every opponent, or more precicely, against every kind of sword.

I first want you to take your sword in your dominant hand and your sheath in the other. Then when my next clone comes at you and try to stab you, you quickly manoeuver your sheath to trap your opponent's sword in it ( I think it's easy to visualize how, but if you need further explanation, just ask).

Now the tricky part is, if your opponent's sword ain't a katana (or the same type of sword you're wielding), the sheath won't fit for his sword and you'll just end up injuring yourself in the process. Remember that at all time.

*Create a clone that take out his sword and rush at you*

 

[Phobos]

Basically the bigger sword and a sheath i have the more kind of swords can I trap

*Holding my sword in my right hand and sheath in my left, as your clones runs at me and tries to stab me I push my left hand toward his sword letting his sword be sheated in my sheat (that sounds stupid xd ) and then I twist the sheath to the side, making your clone unable to pull his sword back.*

Yep that's basically it, but unfortunately, not everyone get to choose the size of their sheath

My sword (in the 7SM thread) as a long and narrow blade, so I can only use this jutsu when facing someone with a katana.

Anyway, you did well with this one too though I would've like to have some more description from you and a counter attack against my clone. You need to seize this opportunity you just created.

(Kenjutsu : Ken no sandatsu) – Sword Arts : Sword Usurpation
Rank: B
Type: Attack/Defence
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: While holding his sheath in one hand, and his sword in the other, the user will attack his opponent. Then, when the opportunity presents itself, the user will use his sheath to trap his opponent’s sword in it. This opening can be used to either cut his opponent’s hands which are now in very close range, or engage a frontal attack, aiming at his enemy’s vitals.

The next technique is nothing but a formality so I will only explain it to you.

In the same way you just did, you will keep you sheath in your free hand and use it to block common attack. It's nothing more then seeing where he's going to attack and reacting accordingly.

Any question?

-The sheath of the 7 swordsmen of the mist can hold up to S-rank strikes

 

[Phobos]

One: If I have custom sword stated that it is understructible as is it's sheath, can it then too block S ranks? (though I don't have something like that xd)

Nope

The sword may be inderstructible, but only the sheaths of the 7SM's sword may be used to block S-rank Kenjutsu.

nevermind then
