Re: Custom Fighting Styles Submission
(Taitōwaza) - Sheathed Sword Arts
Type: Kenjutsu / Ninjutsu
Background: While wanting to combat stronger opponents without the need to kill them, a young traveling swordsman decided to visit the Fire Monk's Temple in the Land of Fire. Upon observation of their unwillingness to kill and unparalleled focus, he trained with them and came to understand the value one's life. Applying that mindset to his sword skills, he developed a way to fight without having to kill by utilizing the scabbard as both an offensive weapon and defensive one. By also controlling his precision with chakra he was able to reinforce its defense. He trained his entire life in this unique style, chronicling his progress and observations and eventually passing it to a young monk who wished to do the same. He trained this young monk tirelessly while also respecting his beliefs, essentially making the style much more than just fancy techniques but a way of living. This young monk eventually came to train others in time, passing his hard-earned training to new aspiring swordsmen.
Description on the Abilities and Inner Workings of the Style: While most sword user's rely on the blade to cause damage, this unique style uses quite the opposite, using the sheathed sword and the sheath itself to cause damage but the style involves more than that. By manipulating one's chakra through the sheath, through one's own body, and using it in tandem with taijutsu, the user takes his kenjutsu skills to new heights. The style involves using the sheath as an extension of oneself like an arm, fist, leg, or foot to combat incoming techniques while utilizing chakra to enhance the durability of the scabbard and prevent it from breaking. This allows the user unique opportunities to use in tandem with taijutsu and allow the user to stay on the offensive as well as providing several options for defense. The attacks through the sheath are enhanced greatly through chakra, allowing techniques of the style to often either break through solid defenses (within reason) or divert incoming techniques to supplement one's attacks though at the cost of causing damage to oneself. While seemingly reckless, the style is largely based on one's control over the sword, sheath, and body movement as well as one's ingenuity in battle tactics. The majority of the techniques in the style are meant to deliver blunt or striking damage rather than slicing damage seen in many kenjutsu techniques, causing more damage over time compared to slicing damage.
Also rather than just using the Sheathed Sword, one can use both the sword and the sheathe to their advantage. With this training they can quickly and easily sheathe and draw their sword, can catch their sheathe with their sword at any moment and perform combos that would have them excel over ordinary Kenjutsu users. For Example the Sheathe can have Chakra channeled through it whether it be elemental or not to toughen it against a Defense, then once that defence is countered - any remaining chakra in the sheathe transfers to the blade as it is drawn and a Final blow is achieved.
Example Techniques:
(Taitōwaza: Bōshi Taitō) - Sheathed Sword Art: Spinning Strike
(Taitōwaza: Bōju) - Sheathed Sword Art: Interception
(Taitōwaza: Bachiatari no Hāmonī) - Sheathed Sword Art: Harmony of the Damned
Additional effects and Restrictions:
-User's of the style have good control over their chakra
-Must have completed Kenjutsu & Ninjutsu
-Must be Kage Rank or above

Example Techniques:
(Taitōwaza: Bōshi Taitō) - Sheathed Sword Art: Spinning Strike
Type: Offensive
Rank: B-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description: The user first begins in a basic stance with his right foot forward, left leg back, feet apart and slightly bent, his right hand holding the hilt of his sword, and his torso facing his left. He then performs a downwards strike to the opponent's lower legs (shins), spinning from left to right. Using that momentum, the user performs a high kick to the opponent's face (left to right) with his right leg first and then with his left. Continuing the attack, the user then having coated his sheath with a dense chakra layer, strikes the opponent with the sheath and releases the chakra, forcing the opponent into the ground or breaking through earthen & water defenses of C-Rank and below. Alternatively, by spinning in midair, the user combines two high kicks with two sword strikes with their sheath, releasing the coated chakra on the last strike, breaking through earthen defenses of C-Rank and below as well as water defenses of C-Rank and below. The user is able to do this by reinforcing the strength of the scabbard with chakra and then when releasing said chakra, creating an opening in the technique and allowing the user to continue forward.

Type: Defensive/Offensive
Rank: B-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: 20
Damage: 40
Description: To combat an incoming strike from a punch or kick, the user, having coated his sheath with chakra, the user will strike with it through two methods. The first method involves the user striking his sheathed sword down into the ground, breaking through it slightly and allowing the sheath to be firmly planted in the ground. This allows the user in defending against low, sweeping kicks (C-Rank and below) as well as tremors from the ground (C-Rank and below) that could cause one to stumble and fall. The second method involves meeting force with force by either blocking the punch/kick directly or striking the side of the opponent's arm or leg with the reinforced sheathed sword. The user achieves this by holding the hilt with the right hand and the top part of the scabbard with the left hand. The user then has the option to continue defending in the same manner or releasing the chakra in the sheath in a small, forward blast meant to push back the opponent and create an opening for additional attacks or defense.

Type: Offensive
Rank: A-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description: A Counter to Close-Combat whether it be on the receiving end of a Taijutsu or Weapon-Based attack it doesn't matter. The user will be holding the Sheathe near the cross guard of their sword with one hand and the Hilt of the actual blade on the other. They will use their Sword to defend against an attack whilst it is Sheathed, the wind coated on the sheathe will sort of pulsate in contact with whatever it intercepts, rebounding the strike and putting off the opponent's stance so they are in sort of a Daze/Stumble. With this opponent the user transfers their chakra (If any were to remain from the defence) from the sheathe into the blade whilst manipulating it to increase it's cutting capability and draws it quickly, to finish the opponent with one lethal cutting strike. The Combinations that can be created with this Technique are up to the user's creativity, just know the the initial Block and the Drawing of the sword happen extremely quickly one after another that if the opponent were to wait an extra moment without countering the counter attack they'd fall to the Blade.
