So. Kenjutsu, an extension of taijutsu, and the art of swordsmanship. Tell me, what do you know about this? Do you know your way around a blade?
Kenjutsu is an art used by many shinobi, The weapon is a sword. It has been shown in the manga that both shinobi and samurai use kenjutsu, but in very similar fashion. Kenjutsu if used correctly can be a great tool to use especially for close range battle. Most people tend to use kenjutsu in combination with other elemental ninjutsu or Taijutsu. Many ways that this is portrayed is how the samurai channel there chakra towards the swords to increase its sharpness and power.Sasuke Uchia channels his Nagashi towards his sword so when he stabs an opponent they can also be paralyzed in the area there wounded.
What I notice which is funny especially with most shinobi is that most of there swords well you can't really call then normal swords, but they all are under the same category of kenjutsu. The most well known in kenjutsu is the ninja world are the seven swordsmen of the mist. Though I can hardly call most of them swords, I mean the executioner blade is more for cutting up a large cow, Its not a sword I would use mainly due to its heavy size it can slow down a man.
Sorry If I got a little off topic I just wanted to show case my knowledge on the matter.

*throws you a sword*
Before you can learn jutsu, you first have to have the basics done. Show me what you got on that dummy there.

Well if that what you want then I shall show you how my worth !
I pick up the sword and clench it with both hands, One hand on top of the other and my palms facing towards each other. I get my stance ready and put my left foot out forward and my left foot back so I don't lose balance, I then get ready and dash towards the dummy, When I get in range I raise my sword up and swing towards chest horizontally leaving a deep cut.

Hmm, nothing too fancy, simple and effective. I like it! Now to actual techs, which are quite simple as well in their nature!
(Ken Rendan no Jutsu) - Sword Barrage Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 25
Description: With this technique, the user will make a sequence of slashes with their sword and finishes with a powerful final slash dealing liberal damage to their enemy.
Pretty simple and effective if used right, you deliver a flurry of attacks with a sword, aiming at any particular spot you wish, and then finish with a powerful blow to incapacitate them.
How would you use this and/or defend against it?

I would personally use this jutsu not to necessarily damage my opponent, but to push him off and catch him off balance with a barrage of attacks, while I am pushing him back I would lead him into a trap. An example is I can hide a shadow clone in the ground and while I attack my opponent with this technique and when he gets caught of guard or loses his sense from behind, I will have my clone jump up from the ground and kill him.
Now to how I would defend it, well I think I would just channel doton chakra throughout my body and create earth armor. it would be more then strong enough to defend. When he tries to slash me, he will notice I am unharmed and then me with a quick movement attack him.
I know not the most creative responses

Well, your answers aren't wrong to be honest, just rather uncreative. You have to remember: Kenjutsu is simply an extension of one's body, the sword an extension of their arm. The sword can only move as fast and strongly as the wielder. The main, and perhaps deadliest, difference is this limb now is sharpened and can case greater impact damage for loss of flexibility and motion. One way to use this would be to aim for the joints of the enemy; by cutting them and slicing and disabling, you prevent them from heavy usage in the battle, which is always advantageous for you. A way I would defend it is through the usage of the Drunken Monkey jutsu while wielding a sword myself. My fluid and confusing movements would aid me in disabling the often straightforward cuts used by this jutsu most times. Any questions?

Okay now when it comes to how I would use the jutsu well there isn't really much you can do with it. This jutsu is not a jutsu that can really kill my opponent but it can disable him or slow him down. But from reading the description I find the jutsu quite...well dangerous to use especially if another opponent has a sword with them, the reason I say this is first I have to deliver a barrage of punches towards the opponent and then take my sword out and slash him. First the opponent if he also carries a sword can just cut my hands off, if not that when I take my sword out to try and slash him/her it can leave me vulnerable to an attack especially if I'm fighting a rather quick opponent.
So I would try to use this attack in a position where my opponent is not caring a sword and also where they will be unable to move freely. So probably in a closed area like a cave and just to increase power I would probably channel Nagashi towards the sword to make the damage more powerful. Also when it comes to the slashes I would aim towards the thigh of the opponent. It will slow the opponent down and also the leg muscles are the biggest muscles in the body so it a large target and would be hard to miss.
Now when it comes to defending I think I already kind of mentioned it. I would try to be quick if an opponent tries to punch me I will simple cut them up with my sword or a kunai. Or I can take the hits which I think would not do any serious damage to me and then wait for my opponent to try and take his sword out and attack him there.

Indeed, the drawbacks are fairly obvious: if caught and countered during the process of unsheathing your sword, you may be, for lack of a better word, ****ed. Its fairly easy to catch one as they draw as they likely aren't as fast as samurai with it.
Yeah that's obvious. Also I have a couple questions sensei.
What is the main difference between a samurai and ninja with Kenjutsu? I know its obvious on why samurai are better because there whole purpose is the way of the sword. But what exactly puts them apart from us ninjas considering it in our RP? Are they faster? More techs? Just a little confused on it.
Also would I be able to channel a KKG element through my sword? I posses the KKG Storm release in my bio and well when I master storm will I be able to use it in conjunction with a sword? I was thinking of making a CFS that revolves around kenjutsu and storm release XD
please answer and we can continue great madara fanboy sensei

Well, a ninja has more access to ninjutsu related techniques, such as molding chakra and nature/shape manipulation as well. I'm not sure if Samurai can add elemental chakra affinities to sword techniques, but Shinobi can.
I'm not sure you can do that. It would require a special weapon able to support this. In most, if not all cases, that would be a custom weapon.
( Enjin Ranbu ) - Circular Wild Dance
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 25
Description: The user spins with his tantō, hitting the target several times.
A simple jutsu, you perform a spin with your tanto and strike the enemy many times due to this. A tanto is a small sword, with similar shape to a Katana, yet smaller. A pic can be seen in the spoiler below.

Wait a tanto? The size of that sword alone puts you at a huge disadvantage. First of all I would need to get into serious close range, almost on contact type range. If an opponent was to have a normal sword all he would need to do is take it out and like that I am stabbed. Personally this attack does not fit to my liking and will leave me open to much, another serious problem is the user is "spinning" to try and attack the opponent. Well that means while spinning I will be open to back shots. The opponent can easily attack me while I'm just spinning like a mad man. Also I doubt I would be able to notice my surroundings while using this attack.
The only good thing to this attack is well its a simple attack and can be executed at any time.

Well, not necessarily. A Tanto is smaller and easier to wield as it lacks the length and, subsequently, extra weight of a katana. It allows you to be more fluid and "flexibe" in your moves in exchange for longer range. And the spin doesn't necessarily leave you open to attack either. If I use this in conjunction with freeform taijutsu, I leave the enemy little time to draw a weapon to counter or attack me with a feasible counter. Imagine if I am dealing taijutsu blows to you, and after throwing a strong kick to your abdomen with my right leg, I pivot on my left foot and unsheathe the tanto with the right, aiming for his side. I'd strike him very quickly after my foot makes contact. It's all about how you use the jutsus in conjunction with others.
Now, how would you counter this?
Interesting question >_>
How would I counter this ?.... Well as you mentioned this can be used for fluid and control movement. There speed will be much more quicker then mine. So if I was to notice my opponent to pull out a small sword like a tanto, I would simply try to stay away from him and keep a certain distance but by using my longer sword. The reach of my sword would make him unable to get close to me when at the same time I would parry and attack he had due to my sword being much longer and stronger.

Good, but why not intercept the arm before it lands? As they spin, why not just grab the forearm of the enemy?
Though I agree in some cases i feel my counter is full proof. But it all depends on my opponent. If he is a Official sage how I am now I doubt I would be able to catch his arm. Especially if he was lets say...a Samurai..I would simply be to slow to react to there skills. If he was my level then I might catch and disarm him free-form style >_>

That's true. 
Anyway, good answers. ^^

Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short

Description: The user will drop down upon the opponent from mid air pointing their sword downwards and drilling it down into the opponent.
Now, I can't seem to find a video nor image for this anywhere so I have no clue where it came from. ._. But, it seems simple in usage: You elevate yourself somehow and then come down with your sword aimed at the target, spinning to give it a drilling effect.
