(Iaidō: Zen no Idō) - Art of Quick Draw and Re-sheathing the Sword: Moving Zen
Rank: N/A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A (-10 for each iaijutsu performed)
Damage: N/A
Description: Over the years, Samurai had often practiced Iaidō based on the understanding that it is an almost ritualistic form of combat, born from practices that strive to impart the morals of a classical warrior such as building a spiritually harmonious being possessed of high intellect, sensitivity, and resolute will. While this is correct, the root teachings of the art were lost over time; in truth, the purpose of Iai is founded on the principle of being in the psychological state of the present and responding to an attack before striking with speed. Thus, Zen no Idō reintroduces this concept into modern day Iaidoka. This is a skill that is taught to masters of the art who have completed all forms of Iai training and who have maximized their reflexes in regards to drawing and re-sheathing the sword. In essence, after training to increase their proficiency in applying rapid and sudden movements while performing iaijutsu, it allows the Iaidoka to inherently evade incoming techniques within reason while simultaneously executing any Iaidō techniques they use. By fueling more chakra into their movements during the ritual of Iaidō, they can move in any direction at a slightly increased speed (x2, equal to that of Leg Weight speed) prior to or during the use of Iaidō. The limitations are that they may only use this speed to travel in any direction within five meters of their original position, and once the Iaidō technique is complete or stopped, Zen no Idō immediately ceases.
Restrictions:
Note: May only be used by samurai who have attained the rank of Sage (unofficial or official).
Note: Must be posted in the samurai's biography.
Note: No other techniques besides those revolving around Iai can be used while Zen no Idō is active.
Note: This is a passive trait that automatically activates prior to or during the execution of any Iaidō based technique; reserved only for those who hold true mastery over the art (must state Iaidō as a specialization in one's biography), once learned, Zen no Idō comes naturally and without thought, in a manner akin to the Shinobi's Water Walking skill.

(Bushidō: Saisho no Seijū: Yi no Shuiro Fenikkusu) - Way of the Warrior: First Holy Beast: Vermilion Phoenix of Yi
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary, Defensive
Range: Short
Chakra: 40
Damage: N/A
Description: The Vermilion Phoenix is the first and supreme Holy Beast, said to manifest itself to worthy Samurai who have learned to harness the power of the three lesser beasts beforehand. Despite its alleged superiority, the type of role the Phoenix plays is that of a support-based one; additionally, unlike the other series of techniques, this is not initiated through any form of Iaidō or Samurai Saber technique. It is activated by exuding one's chakra along the entirety of the body, causing the Phoenix (wings, upper torso and head) to manifest itself from the back of the Samurai. Its total wingspan stretches up to three meters, granting the Samurai the ability of flight, along with increasing the damage of all other Holy Beast techniques by twenty during the turns in which this is active. The Samurai can further manipulate the Phoenix at will to shield them from simple projectile-based weapons or techniques; though it should be noted that because this technique is not created through the Samurai Saber, the Phoenix does not interact neutrally with the five basic elements, instead, it is weak to any of them similar to normal raw chakra. Staying true to the legends of the Phoenix being reborn from its "ashes", if it is prematurely destroyed, it can be reactivated on the following turn for half the initial chakra cost, although if this is done, it only remains active for that same turn before disappearing.
Restrictions:
Note: Can only be used once per battle.
Note: Can only be used by Samurai biographies.
Note: Lasts for three turns, after which the Samurai will be unable to use any A-rank and above Samurai-Saber based techniques for the following turn. If the Phoenix is reborn after being destroyed and ends on the same turn, this same restriction applies.

(Bushidō: Daini no Seijū: Echigo no Konpeki Tsuin Ryū) - Way of the Warrior: Second Holy Beast: Azure Twin Dragon of Echigo)
Rank: S
Type: Defensive, Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80
Description: A maneuver which employs the concept of Zettai Tōroku, or Absolute Inscription, along with the Samurai Saber technique using short-swords. The Samurai will begin by activating the Samurai Saber technique within both weapons (if not already activated prior), before they unsheathe both of the blades using the Art of Iaidō, utilizing shape manipulation to form the chakra coursing through the blades into the shape of semi-tangible dragons, one dragon head stemming from each of the two individual blades. From here, there are two ways in which this technique can be applied; in a defensive manner, using the concept of Absolute Inscription to slash all around oneself, as the dragons violently circle the immediate vicinity all around in an effort to protect its master. Not only is this capable of defending against physical based attacks, but energy based ones as well. This is possible due to the speed in which the Samurai has unsheathed and slashed around them self with Iaidō, creating compressed waves of wind that push away at all forms of attacks (this is not wind release -- an example of the concept of using speed and strength to achieve this particular affect can be seen in the Leaf Dragon God technique). In an offensive manner, the Samurai can control the dragons completely with blade movements in order to make them bite into their target(s) or defend from attacks that aren't in their immediate short range. The dragons are individually equivalent to A-rank in strength, combining as an S rank technique only when used together to defend from attacks or when attacking simultaneously with both dragon constructs.
Restrictions:
Note: Can only be used by Samurai biographies.
Note: Can only be used twice per battle.
Note: As with all forms of Iaidō, this requires that both short-swords be sheathed prior to initiating the technique.
Note: Because the dragon constructs are formed from the Samurai Saber technique, the user is capable of sustaining its form continuously for only one turn following the initial activation of this technique as long as they fuel chakra into the blades (20 chakra for the following turn), or until the dragons have been destroyed.

(Bushidō: Dai San Seijū: Kai no Byakko) - Way of the Warrior: Third Holy Beast: White Tiger of Kai
Rank: S
Type: Offensive
Range: Mid-Long
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80
Description: Kai no Byakko combines the concept of Iai Beheading with the Samurai Saber; it is part of a series of fabled samurai techniques based on the Four Holy Beasts. The user will activate the Samurai Saber technique (if not already activated prior) while simultaneously unsheathing it using Iaidō, gripping the sword with both hands as they swing it downward, releasing a torrent of chakra that takes the form of a massive tiger (slightly smaller than the Greater Stone Golem); the speed of the release is such that the tiger travels forward in the direction of the slash at the rate of a destructive sound release technique/slightly quicker than a wind release technique. The tiger crashes down onto the ground as it reaches the target, swiping its paw in a downward motion to cleave the opponent's head open and crush them. An alternate movement involves drawing the blade with Iaidō and pointing it directly in front with both hands in a forward thrusting motion, causing the tiger to materialize on the ground and sprint forward. The former maneuver is essentially used to contest against attacks that come from the sky or to drop down on the opponent, while the latter is used against incoming attacks that travel at ground level. From here, the Samurai can control the tiger's movements through their blade; these movements consist of moving the tiger to chase after its prey or swiping and biting into them. This technique is unique in that it cannot be used if the target is short range from the Samurai due to the sheer size of the tiger construct.
Restrictions:
Note: Can only be used by Samurai biographies.
Note: Can only be used twice per battle.
Note: Because the tiger is formed from the Samurai Saber, the user is capable of sustaining its form continuously for one turn following the initial activation of this technique as long as they fuel chakra into their blade (20 chakra for the following turn), or until the tiger has been destroyed.
Note: For the alternate movement that creates the tiger at ground level; the same restriction of distance applies, meaning that it doesn't materialize into the construct until the torrent of chakra reaches five or more meters away from the Samurai.

(Bushidō: Dai Shi Seijū: Genbu no Kurogame) - Way of the Warrior: Fourth Holy Beast: Black Tortoise of Genbu
Rank: S
Type: Defensive
Range: Short
Chakra: 40
Damage: N/A
Description: The Kurogame of Genbu is another renown Samurai technique, and the fourth Holy Beast. Similar to its counterpart techniques, this utilizes the concept of the Samurai Saber and Iaidō to create a construct that provides a near absolute defense. After evoking the Samurai Saber technique (if not activated prior) the user will unsheathe their blade using Iaidō, performing a 360 degree horizontal slash while simultaneously releasing chakra, which in turn forms a construct that takes the form of a tortoise encompassing the immediate vicinity of the Samurai. The size of the tortoise doesn't exceed past short range, and varies in height such that its user can stand within it comfortably regardless of their own height. Immediately following the rotational slash, the Samurai pierces the earth below them with their blade, completing the technique. The result is a defense that completely encases the Samurai in a "dome" of chakra; the earth below is also covered by the tortoise, protecting them from attacks that may come from directly underneath. Additionally, the density of the chakra in which the tortoise is formed from causes the opponent to completely lose sight of the Samurai from within the dome, preventing any genjutsu that requires visual contact from going through; this is a double-edged sword however, since the Samurai will also be unable to see their opponent while inside. Due to the speed in which this technique is released through Iaidō, the entire construct forms at a moment's notice.
Restrictions:
Note: Can only be used twice per battle.
Note: Can only be used by Samurai biographies.
Note: The amount of damage this technique can take is equivalent to its rank.

This thread should be located in the Custom Grounds sub-forum, by the way. xD I'll ask to get it moved.
Alright, give me a brief explanation as to how each of the above techniques work. One thing to note is that all of the Holy Beast techniques with the exception of Phoenix interact neutrally with the five basic elements due to their being created from the Samurai Saber technique.
when it comes to zen no ido, reminds me of the third Iado kata: Uke Nagashi. This jutsu basically grants the user leg weights speed and allows them to side step with that speed while quick draw cutting the opponent, making it an effective counterattack. this can basically be done freeform but knowing the benefit of using a jutsu during battle, it would cause the opponent to use their imagination more and cause them to make a creative counter to this technique while also using a jutsu since you need a jutsu to avoid or defend a jutsu.
Now the second technique is a very interesting one. I have to give you your props on making this technique! Now on it's functionality, the user exudes powerful chakra from their body not using the samurai sabre technique or Iado, making it weaker against elemental techniques. This is best used against taijutsu and ninja tools when it comes to its defensive properties. This can also be used to avoid a technique with it's flight ability. i didnt get to see the speed of the flight so i would assume that it would be the same as the user's current running speed.
With the third technique it reminds me of Genji from Overwatch. i dont know if you play that video game. But using the Samurai sabre technqiue and the Iado technique. With the quick-draw cut, you create two dragons each corresponding with their own sword. you could use in a defensive manner by spinning to cause the dragons to surround yourself to defend yourself, and the attack is you using the technique to send the technique to the opponent or their jutsu by extending the blades toward them and being able to control the movement of the dragons with the movement of the users blades.
when it comes to the forth technique, the shape of the jutsu is going to be of a tiger as the user quick draw falling vertical cut or with the quick draw thrust. the first would send the tiger falling upon the opponent and the latter would send the tiger sprinting towards the opponent before striking the opponent by cleaving the opponent with their claws or by sinking their teeth into them to grab hold of the opponent.
The final technique, nice. The user makes a 360 quick draw lateral slash while releasing the samurai sabre technique around himself before stabbing the ground to complete the formation of the black tortoise. The technique is use as an absolute defense against techniques of the same rank. The user will not be able to notice to opponent from inside of the tortoise shell which can be bad since samurai will be fighting against a ninja, warriors of stealth.

Well said. Though one thing to note for Zen no Ido, its activation also applies to Iado techniques that are sustained such as Tiger of Kai and Twin Dragon, etc. So you'll be able to passively move to dodge techniques while you manipulate those constructs long after you've released them; the same logic applies to other similar techniques. Guess we're all done here.
Hello i am here to teach you one of my favorite Custom Samurai techniques. When it comes to this technique, it requires extreme focus, speed of the Iado, and the power of the Samurai Sabre technique. you will start by molding chakra and focusing it to the blade while it is still sheathed in the scabbard. With the quickdraw you would swing the blade so fast that the only thing you would see is a blue hue in the travel path of the swing. Due to that swing you would release the chakra while using shape manipulation of the Samurai sabre technique to split the chakra into multiple razor blades of chakra.

(Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi)-Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven
Type: Offensive
Rank:S-rank
Range:short-mid
Chakra:40
Damage:80
Description: This technique requires mastery of both the Samurai Sabre Technique and the Iado. The user invokes the samurai sabre technique while the Katana is within the scabbard before performing the fastest Iado to the point where it looks as if the sword was never drawn, however, creates a light hue around the opponent before its successful. That allows the samurai to release chakra that creates multiple razor sharp blades of chakra at the opponent's immediate location up to mid range from the user.
