Any questions before we start and tell me some interesting vibes about Kenjutsu
Personal reply of Knowledge- It's a fighting style that mainly relies on a Sword/Katana with use of chakra to enchance it's power or to enable it in the usage of a wide arsenal of chakra infused sword techniques. Original users would be the samurai.
Copy Paste from Wiki - Kenjutsu; Literally meaning "Sword Technique" pertains to techniques that entail the use of swords, whether the users be shinobi or samurai. Kenjutsu can be used in combination with taijutsu, ninjutsu, chakra flow and even genjutsu in order to achieve more devastating techniques. The entire military might of the lone samurai nation of the Land of Iron, have so-far all been depicted as practitioners of kenjutsu. Among the shinobi nations, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are particularly well known as kenjutsu practitioners.

Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 25
Description: The user punches the opponent a few times and finishes them with two final slashes with their blade or sword.
These two are the basic of all kenjutsu. I would teach you Cloud Style but I dont have Kumogakure bio or in the village so ask Better for them after this. The gimick I use to this moves is that it can be an unlimited amount of strikes per one usage. You can use this them and do like...15 strikes swiftly in one move which is a personal advantage most dont pick up.

(Ken Rendan no Jutsu) - Sword Barrage Technique
Strong points
- Several fast slashes can be dealt in little amounts of time.
- Even if dodged, the user can make use of this technique and preventing the foe from entering their personal space.
- Being a rather simple technique, it can be used in most scenarios and can be very unpredictable.
Weak points
- They're regular sword slashes, thus, the damage is minimum.
- The final and strongest slash cannot be dealt until the target is hit by previous slightly weaker attacks.
- Cliche response, but being kenjutsu. It's range is resticted.
Combinations- strategies: Can be mixed with Taijutsu techniques that involve kicks, to further improve the offensive skills of the user.
Ways to counter this technique: Step out of range of the sword, or simply make the opponent retreat.
Swiftly grabbing the sword at my waist. I move torwards a training dummy that suddenly appeared. And begin to slash it from numerous angles, in various formations. Including left to right, diagonal, and vertical slashes. Then placing the weight of my body onto my sword, yet holding it gracefully, without too much grip. Dealing a powerful slash across the dummy, regarded as the final and finishing blow.
(Ikari Nomikomu no Jutsu) - Fury Swallow Technique
Strong points
- The technique is not restricted to the sword, as it allows the usage of fists aswell.
- Depending on where the punches land, the user can very well leave the target open for a finishing slash.
- Slashing the area in which the user previously punched the enemy is a useful tatic. Due to increasing the pain in the effected area.
Weak points
- The user must land several punches prior slashing the opponent. Otherwise making the technique useless.
- Simple punches can be blocked with bare palms and easily counter-attacked.
- There are timing openings in between the punches and slashes. In which the target can interrupt the user's technique and take the offensive.
Combinations-strategies: Can be combined by chakra enchanced punches to further aid the opening blows, prior then slashing the opponent. Making the sword attack all that more hard to counter.
Ways to counter this technique: Simply blocking the first incoming punch, and then kicking them away by pushing them with the sole of the foot into their stomach. Successfully, avoiding the future sword slashes, and wideing the distance of the opponent at the same time.
I firstly take a shoulder length footing and then throw a quick right jab at the dummy's face. Retracting my arm then torwards my waist, I throw another punch, this time with my left hand. At the dummy's cheek, making it's head tilt backwards - while at the same time grabbing my sword with my right hand and slashing it's chest wide open. Following with a second slash this time on their right shoulder, coming from above and descending.

( Enjin Ranbu ) - Circular Wild Dance
Strong points:
- The spinning of the user's body will make the tanto impossible to keep track of. It would look more like a sharp disk spinning with the user. Thus making it all that more hard to block.
- Being a rotational technique, it provides an omnidirectional assault. Giving the user's body no weakness on their back.
- The slashes can be done in a fast motion one after another due to the fast spinning.
Weak points:
- The user would lose clear view of the opponent briefly as they spin.
- It only attacks the range in which the tanto is being held at, thus, can only be aimed at one part of the target's body.
- While spinning, the user's feet are vunerable and open to attacks.
Combinations-strategies: It can be used good in combination with blocking the target's view, prior using the technique. Or ver well usable when the target cannot move as well.
Ways to counter this technique: Using a regular taijutsu technique in which the user bends down and does a heel kick with their foot at the target's own feet [forgot it's name]. This will avoid the spinning tanto, and also throw the target off balance and onto the ground. Essentially avoiding the technique and also gaining the upper hand in battle.
After grabbing a tanto from the many available in the training dojo to my left side. I step into the personal space of the training dummy. Prior them pivoting on my feet in a counter-clockwise motion. At the same time placing both palms gripping the tanto and holding it around my stomach region, pointing forward. This would allow me to slice and shread the dummy's own stomach numerous times as I spin.
( Rakkasui ) - Falling Water
Strong points:
- Being an aerial technique, opponents who cannot move would find it hard to counter.
- Aside from being thrown with heavy force due to gravity. The technique is even more dangerous due to the drilling motion it carries as it drops onto it's target.
- If the user blinds the opponent, they can catch them by surprise as they won't know the location of the user.
Weak points:
- The user is left open for wide ranged attacks/techniques while in mid air. Having little mobility and their hands being preoccupied.
- Must get above the target first, otherwise the technique is useless.
- Once the user drills downwards, they cannot stop or move/change direction.
Combinations-strategies: The sword can be infused with lightning to provide more damage and paralyzing effects on the target.
Ways to counter this technique: Simply side-step in time. Or using the user's momentum against them, and attack them head on with a technique.
After doing the training with the tanto. I drop it and now hold out a sword. As if it were a real person, I kick off the ground releasing dust into it's eye section, creating a smooth 'blinding' effect. Before then launching myself to the space above it and drilling downwards with my sword into it's head. Ripping its body in two as I descend.

(Bakuchi Tori Kuzu Oujou) – Gambling Bird Arrowroot Death
Strong points:
- The sudden strike with the blade makes the upcomings kicks hard to notice.
- After being thrown into the air, the target is open for any kind of attacks.
- The strike with the sword can be heavy enough to cause nose bleed.
Weak points:
- If the strike with the hilt of the sword does not connect, the kicks will me easy to spot.
- When striking with the sword, the user's middle and lower body sections are open.
- The hilt strike can be easily blocked with the hands.
Combinations-strategies: It's best to use when there is a solid structure behind/around the target in which they can impact against. Such as walls, trees, etc.
Ways to counter this technique: Spin to either side, avoding the strike with the hilt of the sword.
Rushing into the front of a dummy. I strike the forehead with the hilt of my sword located on my right arm. The head of the dummy would be tilted backwards providing his vision with a brief moment of blur, I quickly follow by then kicking it's left side with my right foot, making it stumble to the left. Where I would then do a half spin and kicking it in the stomach in order to blow it backwards and crashing into a nearby tree.
(Rensei Shinkuken) – Drilling Crimson Blade
Strong points:
- The wounds from being sliced upwards will not allow the target to focus on the user who suddenly appears above them.
- Due to the dropping momentum, the user can finish the target with a single blow when above them.
- Due to being airbone, the target's mobility won't allow them to counter properly if the user manages to sneak above them and drill down.
Weak points:
- Great strength is required to launch the target into the air with the slashes. Thus, both hands are required, leaving the user without protection on their upper body.
- If the user misses, their sword would stick into the ground. Disturbing their balance and making their presence known to the enemy.
- While close range of the opponent, the user is weak against elemetal counter attacks.
Combinations-strategies: Attacking the enemy from behind would be a good strategy to use for this technique.
Ways to counter this technique: With a stronger infused sword in order to clash against the user's sword and overpower them. Or simply blow wind into the side and be blown to the opposite side when in mid air. Avoiding being drilled down.
Approaching the training dummy to my left. Since now many of the appeared. I slash diagonally from left to right. Shifting the hilt of my sword as I do so, in order to then apply force behind it and launch the dummy airbone. Once it's in the air, I bend both knees and spring off the ground as fast as I can. Swiftly placing myself directly above it and then twisting my wrist to spin my sword violently as it drills into the dummy's left shoulder and into the ground.

(Suraisu Shinku no Nami) - Slicing Crimson Wave
Strong points:
- Unlike most Kenjutsu techniques, this technique releases an actual chakra body as an attack.
- The chakra blade is released rather fast and can reach a good distance considering it works by the sword.
- Being a quick draw easy to perform technique, the user can hurl continuous chakra waves, spending more move slots of course.
Weak points:
- Raw chakra is weak against elemental. Thus this technique can be easily rid off, with an elemental oriented technique.
- The wave of chakra follows a straight trajectory. Thus it can be easily avoiding by moving to either side.
- Being red in color, the wave is easily detectable and drives attention. Giving the target a better view of what counter would suit the situation.
Combinations-strategies: First immobilizing the opponent, preventing them from evading the wave of chakra.
Ways to counter this technique: A stronger amount of chakra would break the wave apart.
I unsheath my sword and holding it in a horizontal possition with my right arm. The edge pointing torwards my left, I insert concentrated amounts of my chakra into the blade before then slashing across infront of me. Hurling out of the swing a crescent red chakra wave to cut down a training dummy.
(Kusanagi no Tsurugi: Chidorigatana) - Grass Cutter Sword: One Thousand Birds Katana
Strong points:
- It carries similiar properties to Chidori, giving the sword a strong advantage over earth and steel.
- The lightning infused slashes numb can prevent the target from moving any further.
- The Chidori can be infused in a fast manner. Being useful in enclosed angles and situations.
Weak points:
- The sharp noise the sword produces after being infused with Chidori can alert the opponent of the user's location, or of the technique itself.
- If let go of, the sword loses it's chidori infusion. (I think)
- Technique only works on swords.
Combinations-strategies: Better usable after soaking the target in water.
Ways to counter this technique: A simple sword strike which in turn is infused with wind chakra would be a suitable and good match up for the technique.
After gathering unfocused amounts of lightning in my palm holding the sword. I infuse the chidori current into my sword givin it a white/blue hue and emitting a chirping sound. Prior then slicing across a dummy with a diagonal slash from left to right. Cutting it's body like butter with a knife due to the lightning.
(Chakura Bōsekiken) - Chakra Spinning Blade
Strong points:
- The momentum of the flow will increase the speed and cutting of the technique.
- If used correctly, it can target more than 1 individual.
- The rapid spun in the air with a blue hue, makes it hard for the opponent to figure out what the user is doing.
Weak points:
- While spinning in the air, the user has little view of the target prior slashing them.
- In the air, the user is open to counter techniques the opponent may launch from the sides or below.
- The glow can expose the user if fighting in dark places such as forests.
Combinations-strategies: Best used by a clone, as a distraction.
Ways to counter this technique: An earth wall.
After getting rid of the chidori current. I then turn to face yet another training dummy. Which I attack by infusing my sword with chakra creating a blue glow to emit from it. Then rapidly spinning in the air as I approach the dummy, creating a blue circle, which with it's sharp qualities, shreads apart the dummy with ease.

- Techniques attracted to the sword cannot be thrown back at the user, instead it can only be directed into the ground.
- Does virtually no damage, unless the target is near the point of stabbing the sword on the ground. In which small fragments of earth would hurl at them, with minimum strength.
Combinations-strategies: Use it when the target is near, so the recoil and small debris of rock from the ground bolts at them after redirecting the lightning technique into the ground. Which in turn would cause damage to the ground.
Ways to counter this technique: Well, it can't be countered since it's not offensive at all.
After creating a a clone and having it release a chidori nagashi from it's body. I stab the sword onto the ground just as the nagashi strikes me. Re-directing the lightning current from my body, onto my sword, and then into the ground itself. I rid myself of the paralyzing effect and overall effect of lightning over my body.
Strong points:
- Provides a safe counter against lightning users when using a sword.
- The lightning can be re-directed into a harmless state for the user.
- It works on lightning techniques up to A rank?
