[CJ] Expanding my knowledge of Wind

[Hard]

Having my real body training elsewhere, I decide to send out a shadow clone of myself in order to train myself further in the art of wind release. I patiently await the arrival of my acquaintance.

 

[Zaphkiel]

Hey there..Hard? (really odd yet nice name there). I'm Elyon, you said you wanted a trademark move of mine?

Hello there! My name is Alexander, Alexander Akimichi. It is a pleasure to meet you. Yes, I was informed by someone of the nature of your technique. It really caught my attention. In fact, I am currently training with him right now, he goes by the name of Jio. And I say "currently" because this isn't actually me. In fact, this is only a shadow clone of my former self. Please don't be mad or offended though, I just simply couldn't be at two places at the same time, ya know? =}

Understandable sir, its only physically impossible to be omnipresent. The move you want,

(Kenjutsu/Fuuton: Katto no Arashi) -Sword Style/Wind Release: Storm of Cuts
Rank: B
Type: Defensive/Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage: 40
Description: The user positions himself , then after forming a one handed hand sign he forms a slight whirlwind around him using his Fuuton chakra he throws his sword counter clockwise, allowing it to ride the currents it spins rapidly while revolving around the user 6-8 times. During these revolutions the sword is granted immense Fuuton aided cutting power, capable of slicing Doton techniques B ranked and below clean in two, after which the user will simply snatch it from the air. The sword itself moves so fast it is capable of repelling thrown weapons and up to medium sized objects. It can't be tracked by normal eye and the user may appear to 'repel' objects within 5 feet of the his position. During the jutsu the user has no access to the sword but can freely move around allowing the vortex to follow keeping the user in the eye at all times. The user is free to mold chakra can also perform this while airborne as he falls.

Give me a quick analysis on the technique. Pros? Cons? Questions?

Pros:

• The added wind chakra enhancing the blade as well as the rotation allows it to slice up to B ranked Earth techniques, and other similar solids I assume?
• It creates a whirlwind that protects your body as the sword rotates offensively around you.
• You are able to perform other techniques and channel chakra while this is "active".
• The sword rotates so fast it can't be tracked by normal eyes, this means one requires the sharingan or other doujutsu's to keep up?
• The rotation is so fast that it would appear as though if the user simply repels objects with the whirlwind while in reality, a hidden deadly blade lies within the concealment of rotations.

Con:

• It's only up to short range, meaning I can't slice through targets at greater distances. However that being said, in this RP its not really wise to release your weapon so far away from you, most if not all of the times it will be deflected, thus you'd lose it.

Questions:

• Can Strong Fist users; Ones that have mastered regular taijutsu, keep up with the blade? Or is it only trackable by doujutsu users and similar?
• Can you mold any elemental nature or restricted to regular chakra/wind chakra related techniques?
• I assume I can use any sword I have? In my cause I could maybe attach a long chain to the handle of the sword, effectively increasing the range up to mid range? Having the spinning blade bring the chain along with it. That being said, the chain would obviously not be coated in wind.
• What kind of "medium sized" objects can I repel? Could I have any examples so I don't use the technique wrongly? =}

Please feel free to add anything I've missed! =}

 

[Zaphkiel]

Question answers:

• No, it is only traceable by sensors and or Doujutsu users.
• You can mold any type of chakra you so desire, although I wouldn't go throwing fists and punch inside a wall of severing wind..
• Yes any sword you have, even a Tantō. The chain part is a no for now, but I plan on update it in the future to allow a larger AoE (area of effect) maybe mid ranged. I'll update you and everyone else I've taught when I've done so.
• Medium sized meaning Fuma Shurikens, Staves, Shields, pretty much everything that is bigger than half the average human. Anything bigger is out of the question though.

You missed the ability to perform this as you fall, so if you're in a tight spot mid air and your opponent decides to take advantage of you this would be an option you could think of. That being said consider it learnt.

Okay understood, thank you for answering my questions. And sorry about the air thing, I knew about it but completely forgot to mention it..

Now....

Shortly after saying that, I reach into my ninja pouch and grab a small scroll which I then unravel in front of you.

(Fūton: Okami Kinjitou) - Wind Style: Emperor's Pyramid

Spoiler

Type: Defensive/Offensive
Rank: A
Range: Short - Medium
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: The user will their channel wind chakra around certain body points or objects whilst manipulating the wind currents in the environment to create one of the following effects;

Pyramid: Being one of the two defensive methods; The user will channel his/her wind chakra throughout three bladed objects like Kunais, shurikens, swords etc and throw them on the ground within range, forming a triangular formation. As the objects are placed on the ground, a pyramid made of cutting/shredding wind will be created that covers the user's entire vicinity, including the floor. During creation the user is able to choose whether or not the cutting/shredding effects the floor side.

Shield: Being the second defensive method; The user will shift his body in the form of a "Y" with his/her arms raised and feet placed together. Both feet and hands will act as connection points to each other, similar to the bladed objects, creating a triangular shield of cutting/shredding wind in front of the user as means of defense.

Net: The user will throw three bladed objects and manipulate the wind chakra channeled throughout them and the wind currents to create a triangular net of cutting/shredding wind that travels forward along with their respective projectiles.

▵ The user is unable to perform any other techniques if the shield method is in use.
▵ Can only use one method per turn
▵ Can be used four times per battle
▵ Must be taught by Hard

This is my special Pyramid Formation technique. It is a wind-style technique that utilizes either body parts or bladed objects. The Pyramid formation has two defensive methods and one offensive. One of the defensive method revolves around the user shifting their body into the position/stance of a "Y", placing their legs closely together whilst stretching their arms over their head, diagonally outwards. While doing so, you will channel wind chakra throughout your legs and hands, using them as connecting points. You will then release that chakra outwards while also manipulating the wind currents in front of you, effectively creating a shield of cutting/shredding wind in a triangular shape, mimicking your posture.

The second method would be the Pyramid one. The Pyramid method utilizes three bladed objects. This can range from pretty much anything that has a blade and can be thrown, like swords, kunais, arrows, daggers etc. You will then proceed to channel wind chakra into the objects thereafter throwing them within range, placing them in different locations. However maintaining a triangular formation. You will then proceed to "activate" the stored chakra inside of the blades, thereafter manipulating it into wind currents that all connect each other into a pyramid of cutting/shredding wind. If desired, you are able to create the cutting/shredding wind beneath you as well, using it as a means of protection from underground attacks. The pyramid's dimensions can go up to medium range, meaning you could effectively protect medium/large sized summons or allies that are within those dimensions

The third and most offensive method would be the net version. Similar to the pyramid one, you will channel wind chakra into three bladed objects and release them towards your desired location in a triangular formation. As the travel forward you will manipulate the stored chakra as well as the wind currents around them, effectively creating a net of cutting/shredding wind that travels alongside the kunais. Just like the pyramid, the size of the net can go up to medium range in size.

Any questions? Could you please specify any pros or cons that you may have noticed?

 

[Zaphkiel]

Pros:

• The first defensive use, the "Y" pose is especially useful against large, sudden attacks and without the need for handseals is even more dependable.
• With the cutting/shredding wind emanating from the body it can be used to remove certain objects on the body I presume?(more of a statement than a question, you can answer me if I'm wrong though).
• Three bladed objects? Very, very good. With a quick placement of three kunais, knives, swords etc a near instantaneous defense can be made. And it can also be used to protect allies and summons. (In fact, I will be using this in an ongoing fight right now!)
• Being able to shred underneath my feet as well is a very good advantage, especially against those Earth Pillars some people like to use. And any other earth protruding technique as a matter of fact.
• The net formation can be effectively used against broad spanning jutsu. Like Chidori Senbon which can span a wide range just by being flung at different angles. Or even to shred paper bombs and other ninja tools before they can reach the user.

Cons:

• Such a shame it only reaches Mid ranged. But its only fair I guess.

Question(s):

• What if one of the bladed objects are removed?
• Can I perform hand seals while the jutsu is active, say an 11 hand seal technique in preparation for when the technique subsides?
• The ground shredding ability of the Pyramid side, will it damage mine or my allies' toes?

None of the three methods allow you to surround yourself with wind, not ON your body anyways. For example the shield method doesn't cause wind to form around you, it utilizes your three pointed posture as a means of execution to release the triangular shield out in front of you, however not being in contact with your body. This in turn is quite good because if someone uses a fire technique near your location to ignite the wind, you won't be harmed instantly, however still quite fast. The closest thing to surrounding your body would be to place the three bladed objects from the pyramid method as close as possible, thus creating a tight defense.

What if one of the bladed objects are removed?

The technique would end. Think of this technique as if it were elastic or something similar in nature. If it stretches too far out of shape, it will snap and break, thus disperse.

Can I perform hand seals while the jutsu is active, say an 11 hand seal technique in preparation for when the technique subsides?

Only in methods that allow it. For example, its stated in the shield formation that you would be unable to perform other techniques. However, if used for the pyramid or net, after the technique "activates" yes, you'd be able to perform other techniques.

The ground shredding ability of the Pyramid side, will it damage mine or my allies' toes?

You have the ability to choose whether or not to activate the shredding on the ground, so you are also able to manipulate certain areas to avoid stuff like that from happening. In short; No.

Well thanks for the technique Hard, I'm sure we'll do business again in the future.

It was a pleasure to share my own personal creation with you! ^_^

Suddenly, my shadow clone disperses into a small cloud of smoke, instantly transferring both mental and physical knowledge it had just obtained.
