With more power, groups felt that they were able to retake pride they had lost, or gain treasures they sought. This was the chaos that the world felt.The Sōhei, or Warrior Monks, knew the intentions of the Sage who taught strength to the people of his world, and knew that it was their job to protect the peace that was slowly being destroyed. The Sōhei who believed in the peace they knew the Sage stood for banded together under the name, The Order of the Warrior Monks.This nomadic group of warriors traveled the world, looking for utilizes of the powerful energy called "chakra" who used this power for their own gain. As they found them, the monks attempted to subdue these people by force, with the sheer strength of their staffs. But even with their fluent fighting style of versatile strikes and defenses, the monks knew that they would not be able to defeat every chakra-user who fought for themselves. Yet they pressed on.In one battle between the Order and a group of shinobi who wanted nothing more than to take every treasure they could find, the monks learned just how feeble their attempts were. Without killing a single member of the shinobi group, more than half of the Order was mercilessly slaughtered. But when his younger brother was slain in battle, the leader of the Sōhei no Junban took his staff and, in a fit of rage, proceeded to attack with both his and his brother's staffs in either hand. Being able to divert the attention of his opponents away from the true attack, as well as being able to defend from multiple different sides at once, gave the leader the edge he needed to kill but a single member of the shinobi group. And that small victory instilled in the Order the confidence to continue their attack.The Order of the Sōhei was utterly defeated in battle. The twenty monks who were fighting for peace was reduced to a single free man, with everyone aside from their leader killed, and their leader captured. The one man, the youngest of the monks, just barely escaped with his life. The Order had managed to kill but three of the opposing men. But when compared to the sheer death that surrounded them when fighting with a single staff, the young monk could see the strength and advantage granted to one who used two weapons at the same time. And so the young man, having watched his leader fight with the new style, trained on his own, gathering a group of followers to reform the Order of Warrior Monks, after which the style was named, all of whom used two staffs in battle instead of one.This style was then passed down through generations of Sōhei, advancing and becoming stronger with each passing generation. And this is where the Sōhei no Junban of today began.Description on the Abilities and Inner Workings of the Style: Order of the Sōhei is a very flexable style which revolves around staffs acting as an extension of the users' body, mostly pertaining to the arms and hands. The user of Sōhei no Junban will utilize two staffs during battle placed in their left and right hand to serve as an extension to their limited reach. The user uses the two staffs in collaboration with each other in different ways, primarily for distracting and attacking. Because of the unique fighting style granted by using staffs, the user is capable of attacking in the same motion they defend in, and as such this style of fighting focuses on the users ability to perform quickly-executed combinations with both staffs under difficult conditions during battle. Most techniques are based on the concept that one staff is used for distraction or preoccupation, while the other staff is used for executing the main part of the technique that will deal damage, be the strong defense, or set the user up for a combination with a different technique from outside the style. The style is famous for devastating combination attacks which utilize both staffs at the same time. The vast versatility in the style grants the user a great deal of possibilities in terms of techniques and derived fighting styles, as Order of the Sōhei revolves around defending and attacking either at the same time with different staffs, or in the same motion with the same staff while the second staff provides some other supplementary effect, dependent on the technique itself. Finally, monks of Sōhei no Junban have developed techniques for their fighting style which incorporate the usage of the basic five elements, empowering the impact their staffs have or changing what the best way to attack with each staff becomes.Example Techniques: [SPOILER](Raiton: Inka-Ten) Lightning Release: Flash PointRank: BType: Attack | DefenseRange: Short-LongChakra Cost: 20Damage Points: 40Description: The user begins by tossing one of their staffs lightly into the air. As the staff leaves their hand, the user concentrates raiton chakra through their other staff, held in their dominate hand, before throwing it at the opponent like a javelin. As the staff flies through the air, its speed and natural thrown distance increased by the raiton chakra, the staff releases all of the chakra channeled through it in a large cone shape, with the tip being the end of the staff, growing larger towards the user. This cone also gives off a bright light, similar to Lightning Illusion Flash Pillar. As the first staff flies through the air towards the target, the second staff falls to the ground, having the lightning of the first staff pass over it and coating it in a weak electric field. As the second staff falls, the user kicks it through the air, the raiton "coating" giving the staff the extra energy it needs to reach its target.This technique differs from most jutsu which revolve around two parts, as instead of dividing the chakra evenly between the two parts, all of the chakra is focused through the first staff, allowing the lightning cone to act as a B-rank defense which also blinds the target of the user's actions while the technique is going on (specifically, kicking the second staff). This also means that the second staff only has a D-rank raiton "charge", as it passes through raiton chakra as it's used. The technique's strength comes from tricking the opponent into defending against the initial lightning javelin, and then having the second staff follow up quickly for a surprise attack.Note and Restrictions: Can only be taught by a master of Sōhei no JunbanRequires at least B-rank lightning trainingThe user doesn't use any chakra after initially filling the first staff with raiton to form the cone(Roki no sagi) Loki's DeceptionRank: CType: Defense | AttackRange: ShortChakra Cost: N/ADamage Points: 30Description: The user begins by spinning one staff in front of themselves at high speeds, the rotating action acting as a type of barrier to keep incoming attacks from landing. The user will then toss their spinning staff into the air, thrusting their other staff forwards to jab the opponent in the gut. Finally, as the user thrusts the second staff, they will reach up with their free hand and grab near the end of their first, now-airborne staff, swinging it down as a second attack to hit the opponent in the head.[/SPOILER]Additional effects and Restrictions:- Masters of the style are capable of utilizing a staff with as much strength and leverage one-handed as a person of equivalent raw strength two-handed- Masters of the style gain the ability to add an elemental affinity to non-elemental techniques of this style, or even free-form movements, in order to add the equivalent of E-rank "elemental affects" to techniques (such as slight burning, paralysis, minor weight altering, cutting power, or slightly increased durability and ability to absorb impact, for fire, lightning, earth, wind, and water respectively).- Masters of the style gain a stance known as "The Phantom Warrior", which is only the use of Sōhei no Junban through hovering staffs via Manipulate Advancing Blades (this "stance" is only available to specialists of the style and requires the use of the technique beforehand)Approved Here [<a href="http://narutobase.net/forums/showthread.php?t=157595&page=22">x</a>][SPOILER][/SPOILER](Sōhei no Junban: Roki no sagi) ✖ Order of the Warrior Monks: Loki's Deception ✖ Rank: CType: Defense | AttackRange: ShortChakra Cost: N/ADamage Points: 30Description: The user begins by spinning one staff in front of themselves at high speeds, the rotating action acting as a type of barrier to keep incoming attacks from landing. The user will then toss their spinning staff into the air, thrusting their other staff forwards to jab the opponent in the gut. Finally, as the user thrusts the second staff, they will reach up with their free hand and grab near the end of their first, now-airborne staff, swinging it down as a second attack to hit the opponent in the head.Notes and Restrictions:- The "barrier" created by the spinning action of the staff is able to intercept projectiles like kunai's and shurikens, and other weapons, like swords and daggers, provided that they do not exceed the size of the barrier itself and must follow elemental S/W. (Therefore, if it is a sword enhanced by lightning, depending on the rank of the lightning, it cannot be intercepted.) The barrier can also defend against C-rank and below Tai and Ken and D-rank and below solid elements (Like Earth and Water)Approved Here [<a href="http://narutobase.net/forums/showthread.php?t=157594&p=14607193&viewfull=1#post14607193">x</a>] (Sōhei no Junban: Hephaestus Kougake) ✖ Order of the Warrior Monks: Hephaestus Gauntlets ✖ Type: Defense-OffenseRank: ARange: ShortChakra: 30Damage: 60Description: Staying true to the fighting style, this incorporate's the usage of defending with a straight forward attack right after. The user will cross their two staffs forming an "X" shape by swinging each towards one another and interlocking them, this can be used to catch the opponent's limbs or weaponry attacks. After catching any type of material as mentioned above, the user will channel a significant amount of fire chakra toward's the upper end of the staffs where the material will be caught, one fire gauntlet (hand) will appear on both ends of the staff, so two in total, each gauntlet/hand is around one feet long with a high burning effect and are quite thin. The moment they make contact with the material it will clutch onto the material and be damaged but mainly depending upon the material caught. Metal materials (Non-Chakra infused) will easily be burned and melt rendering them useless, while body limbs will suffer from severe burns by the gauntlets.

One of the staffs will be held at the waist while the other will be held higher toward's shoulder height. Both ends facing toward's there target, the user will dash toward's their intended target and as they get within close range the user will start focusing wind chakra toward's the staff on the lower end at the waist while twirling it around in a clock wise formation, what happens is a small vortex that just covers the end of the staff which was pointed toward's the opponent will appear, the vortex with a lime green color no larger then three feetlong but very small in width, no larger then one foot high vortex, this way the staffs don't intertwine with one another , will produce a sudden but forceful suction which will momentarily attract the opponent inward closer toward's the user but also they will lose balance slightly. As the opponent is sucked in toward's the user, simultaneously with the staff being held at shoulder height, the user will thrust the end of the staff at the opponent aiming for the opponent's head causing mild damage and pain.
