Kenjutsu is the style of fighting wherein the user battles with swords of varying types. In the narutoverse it can be used in conjunction with other styles of fighting such as taijutsu and ninjutsu in order to increase the lethal capabilities of their sword. More specifically the samurai within the narutoverse rely heavily on sword use in battle and kirigakure shinobi within the anime/manga are known to be exceptional kenjutsu users as well.
Chakra flow's relation with kenjutsu can best be described as a means to go beyond the normal capabilities that a sword has. The best example for this would be the infusion of lightning chakra into a sword, or any weapon for that matter. Due to the lightning chakra's property the cutting capability is increased.
Yes well there is more to it than it looks actually, one for instance is one can utilze chakra flow in a blade and still use it for supplementary purposes like when I use Samurai Sabre I can place my blade under my feet and channel chakra into it which is still chakra flow and create a actual floor of chakra and manipulating it to avoid like Swamp of the Underworld etc etc. But none the less lets get started, what are the types of slashes in which a sword can travel and what is the best way to defend against each one
Ah, interesting ability.
Direction wise? The sword can slash vertically, horizontally, and diagonally, however most people tend to use a diagonal slash from what I've seen. A vertical slash is effective in that it provides an exceptional amount of force if brought high enough. It can be counter easily by side stepping however, as the slash travels in one linear path on the y axis. The horizontal slash is quick and can be used in situations where one would want to slash in a wide range around themselves. It can be countered by simply bending the knees and ducking or if the slash is too low to duck by planting one's sword in the ground to either their right or left in order to stop the slash from being completed. Diagonal slashes are the most versatile in that they travel along the z axis giving room for more situations where on would need to use it. It can be countered if timed right with a horizontal slash or a diagonal slash following the same path that the opponent's sword is following. Hopefully I was somewhere in the ball park with all of that. ._.

*Turning towards the clone that you had created I begin by charging raw chakra into my feet in order to increase my running speed slightly. After I've done this I then begin to run towards your clone with my right hand on the grip of my sword ready to unsheathe at the appropriate time, and as I enter it's short range quickly plant my left leg onto the ground and unsheathe my sword in a diagonal slash starting from the bottom left portion of the clone's middle torso up to the top right side of the chest area. I then quickly flick my wrist right in order to change the position of the weapon, with my left foot still forward I bring my right foot up, still with raw chakra concentrated within it and slam it on the clone's left foot, the sudden surge of pain would instinctively divert the clone's attention towards the ground, even if only for a second. I take advantage of this by then attempting to deliver one final horizontal slash along the clone's chest area from right to left.*
When describing any technique in general would you say that describing the lefts and rights from your perspective is easier to understand or from the opponent's perspective? For example in my description I described the position of the first diagonal slash starting from the left to the top right of the clone's chest but from the clone's perspective it would be starting from it's right side to the top of it's left side.

*After gathering raw chakra into my feet I charge towards the clone and once entering it's short range, attempt to deliver a right punch onto the target's left rib cage area, or my right. I then quickly deliver a left hook towards the clone's right jaw, and as the punch connects my right hand has already grabbed the hilt of my sword. I then unsheathe the sword quickly, performing two sequential diagonal slashes, the first beginning from the lower torso up towards the top right of the chest area, followed by another vertical slash after changing my wrist's position beginning from the clone's left shoulder down towards the lower torso*

*After acquiring a tanto in order to perform the technique I charge chakra into my soles and charge towards the target. As I begin to enter it's short range with the tanto already unsheathed and in my right hand I begin to spin my entire body in a counterclockwise direction several times with my right arm extended in front of me and my left arm bent, grasping the middle of my right arm for stability. With every spin completing it's apex the clone is slashed at around the upper torso multiple times.*
So what you're saying is that if, in an official NW battle my opponent uses this technique without a short-sword, it'd be an invalid move? Not that I'd really call them out on something that small but just for the sake of knowing.

*I start off by gathering raw chakra into my feet and begin to dash towards the clone. As I enter it's short range I perform a right kick that sends the clone flying into the air. I then jump above as the clone is still rising and after ascending past it, proceed to unsheathe my sword, point it downwards towards the target's chest area while grasping the hilt with both hands and plunge the weapon into the clone driving the both of us down into the ground.*
No questions, pretty straight forward technique.

Good show ole boy! Now on to the B-Ranks!
Well this move is pretty....slow if you ask me but its an effective one with proper timing. Lets say your opponent and you are currently in a freeform stand still, and none of you can seem to get passed each other, the first thing you can do is simply, rather than bolting, parry there attack, causing them to be unbalanced, then procede to knock them with the handle of the sword, etctec of the technique. In the world of Kenjutsu, you dont have to use the move according to the description, you can alternate in between them and dont have to use up too much moves ;3
