Appearing in a blind flash in front of the shinobi, sword unsheathed and pointed to the shinobi's throat, Kakuzu proceeds to question him about his knowledge on Kenjutsu.
He who does not respect the sword is not fit to wield one. He who does not fear the sword is not fit to use one. That is my motto. What do you know of Kenjutsu, young shinobi ?

Inichi quickly grasps his ninjato, still leaving it partly sheathed as he realizes this is a test.
"I do not yet know of any Kenjutsu techniques, but that is where I fear my downfall is. Kenjutsu is not only an art, but it is also a lifestyle. I am fully aware that once I adopt the sword into my life, it is never to disappear from it. If I were to die right now, one of my biggest regrets would be my lack of knowledge in Kenjutsu. I request that you teach me the ways of the sword so that not only may I better understand it, but so that I may better understand myself as well."

That will do, young shinobi. That was a test to see what kind of person you are when faced against death.
Now we'll move onto the techniques.
(Ken Rendan no Jutsu) - Sword Barrage Technique
For your first technique, I want you to hit me with a sequence of slashes using your blade, before ending the frenzy with a final slash to my neck. Fear not, I'm going to keep my skin hardened throughout the usage of your technique, so I won't feel a thing. To give some realism, I'm going to feign pain and pretend that each of your hits have an effect on me.
Key Points: Despite the simplicity of my explanation, you must fill in the blanks so to say. Specify which hand you wield the blade with, the direction of the slashes (don't have to specify for random slashes and frenzies) and so on.
(Ikari Nomikomu no Jutsu) - Fury Swallow Technique
In quick succession, you will then punch me a few times before finishing with two final slashes with your sword, aiming them to deal fatal damage. As with before, be specific in the way you punch e.g. is it a frontal punch or not ? What location are the punches aimed towards and what effect do you seek to achieve with them ? Where are the final two slashes aimed towards ? Yeah, you get the idea.
Now we'll move onto the techniques.

Inichi nods, drawing his sword out with his right hand. "Here I go."
Crouching slightly, Inichi makes a quick diagonal slash downward and to the left, before slashing again horizontally from left to right across Kakuzu's chest to follow up with an upward diagonal slash from right to left. Grasping the hilt tighter, Inichi makes a strong slash across Kakuzu's upper chest area from left to right before finally gripping the hilt with both hands and giving a final slash across Kakuzu's neck.
Backing away slowly, Inichi nods before starting the next technique.
Rushing towards Kakuzu, Inichi blows a quick underhand punch with his left to his abdomen before quickly adding a hard corkscrew punch with his right to Kakuzu's collarbone area. After this, Inichi deals a quick successive uppercut with his left to Kakuzu's chin before quickly unsheathing his sword. As Kakuzu is recovering from the uppercut, he deals a hard slash to Kakuzu's lower right side, aiming for the liver. After he completes this slash, he quickly spins and aims a backward slash to Kakuzu's neck.
Sheathing his sword once again, Inichi backs up slightly and bows. "How was that, sensei?"

Just as I expected of you, make sure to invest that much effort and concentration in all of the techniques you perform. You will gain much more of this training session that way.
( Enjin Ranbu ) - Circular Wild Dance
Now, I'd like you to spin in the clockwise motion on the spot, striking me with his tanto with each successive revolution, making sure to target a new location with every spin. You will do this a total of five times. You have freedom of choice to choose the locations you strike, but the fifth and final strike must be aimed towards underneath my chin, sending me up into the air and setting up for your next technique usage.
( Rakkasui ) - Falling Water
While I'm airborne, you will jump up and pursue me, quickly overtaking my position before unsheathing your blade once more. Point your blade down towards me, before striking me with it and drilling me back towards the ground, spinning as you do this to mimic the exact motion of a "drill". Normally, your rotary motion would cause the opponent's body to spin also (since your sword would be lodged in their body) causing them to become disorientated even before they collide with the rock hard ground.

Inichi smiles slightly and nods. "Thank you, sensei. I shall start the next set of techniques now."
Gripping his Ninjato with both hands, Inichi spins towards Kakuzu, slicing him first across the chest, then on the second revolution slicing his left shoulder, on the third, Inichi sliced Kakuzu's abdomen, and on the fifth spin he sliced a large gash across his upper chest area. Recovering from the fifth spin, Inichi crouched, landing an upward stab to the underside of his sensei's chin, sending him flying into the air.
Leaping into the air after him, Inichi held out his sword downward, laying out vertically and spinning as he fell, drilling into Kakuzu and making him spin as well until they crashed violently into the ground. Inichi got up and jumped back, quickly recovering from the crash.
"Was that good enough, sensei?"

Not quite, a bit more detail and I will be content. Just to clarify, I'm going to refer to myself as the "opponent" or "enemy". You will still be performing this jutsus on me.
(Bakuchi Tori Kuzu Oujou) – Gambling Bird Arrowroot Death
Alright, this Kenjutsu will not involve the use of your blade, substituting its usage with hits dealt with the handle. I want you to utilize your chakra to bolt in front of the enemy, before striking them with the hilt of your sword. After doing so, deal several upward kicks to your opponent, sending them high into the air but also horizontally backwards. Whilst they're airborne, dash directly forwards (to the location they're about to land) and intercept them as they fall, punching them violently into a nearby obstacle or part of the terrain e.g. a boulder or tree.
Key Points: None.
(Rensei Shinkuken) – Drilling Crimson Blade
For this next technique, I want you to focus chakra into your blade before dashing towards the opponent and dealing an upward slash to their chest region, using the force behind the slash to send them into the air. After doing so, "appear" above and behind them, using your blade to deal a deadly drilling-type slash into their back, impaling and knocking them back towards the ground.

I'm sorry about that, sensei. I was in a bit of a rush when I wrote that last post.
"I will now begin, sensei."
Inichi crouches and readies himself with a hand on his sword as he concentrates the chakra in his legs. Doing so, he dashes forward towards the enemy at high speeds and unsheathes his sword. Halting in front of the enemy, Inichi holds his sword above his head with both hands before roughly landing the end of the hilt down on their head, stunning them briefly enough to where he can sheathe his sword once more and deliver five consecutive kicks to different spots on their abdomen. After the fifth kick, Inichi delivers a final hard sixth kick to the enemy's chest, knocking them back and into the air. As the enemy is airborne, Inichi once again concentrates his chakra in his legs and dashes to where he calculates the enemy would land, and as the enemy reaches that spot and begins to fall, he delivers a hard right to their midsection, violently knocking them into a nearby rock.
Inichi once again draws his blade, grasping the hilt with both hands as he concentrates his chakra into it.
As chakra begins to run up and around the sword, Inichi dashes towards the enemy as he deals a strong upward slash to them, forcing the weight behind his blade into their chest. The enemy flies up into the air with this, and as they fly upward Inichi appears above the enemy and stabs his sword into their back, spinning the hilt around as he does so. The sword impales the enemy before Inichi kicks them off of his blade and sends them flying towards the ground.

Good work, make sure all of your jutsu performances are of that caliber.
(Suraisu Shinku no Nami) - Slicing Crimson Wave
Unlike the previous techniques, these two will be focused around manifesting a lumnious coating of raw chakra over your sword to either fire off as a projectile or augment your sword slashes. Now, tighten your grip over the hilt of your sword and begin focusing your chakra into it, before slashing the air in a crescent-like shape to release the built chakra as a red wave of pure chakra in my direction.
Key Points: I'm unsure if this red chakra wave can be stopped with elemental techniques, so stick to avoiding it for now. I'll try to find out for you.
(Chakura Bōsekiken) - Chakra Spinning Blade
Similar to the previous technique, I want you to focus your chakra into your sword, this time causing it to glow blue instead of a luminous scarlet. After stabilizing the coating of chakra, jump into the air and begin spinning at a rapid rate in a circular motion, whilst outstretching your sword to maximize its radial reach. Slash me as many times as possible in the interval of 10 seconds. This will depend on the speed of your spinning, the faster you spin, the more potential hits you can get in with your sword.
Key Points: None.

Thank you sensei. :3
"Interesting, sensei! I shall now begin."
Inichi unsheathes his sword slowly as he tightly grips the hilt. As he holds the hilt, Inichi channels his chakra into to the blade of the sword and focuses it. A thick, crimson layer of chakra covers the blade as Inichi readies the sword reversed in his hand. Swinging the sword forward in a crescent-like motion, Inichi slices the crimson chakra out of his sword, sending it flying towards the enemy in a blinding flash of scarlet.
Stepping back, Inichi crouches and holds the hilt with both hands tightly. Once again, he channels his chakra into the blade, but this time he envisions a deep blue instead of scarlet. The blade begins to glow blue with this, and once the chakra is fully stabilized over the blade, he leaps into the air and holds his sword outstretched with both arms. He begins to spin in a circular and clockwise fashion, and as he falls toward the enemy he begins to build momentum, making him spin faster and faster. As he reaches towards the ground after several more seconds, he finally falls into the enemy, slicing the enemy once, spinning around, and slicing them several more times within the span of ten seconds before finally recovering as he spins to a halt.
"How was that, sensei?"
I'm aware that the first jutsu performance is a bit short in comparison to the second one, but there is not that much material to fill a paragraph with for the first jutsu. ^_^'

I apologize for the inactivity/late replies.
Perfect. For these final two techniques, we will be dealing with electrical currents. One with allow you to imbue your sword with lightning chakra, the other will allow you to divert unfocused currents of electricity into the ground.
(Kusanagi no Tsurugi: Chidorigatana) - Grass Cutter Sword: One Thousand Birds Katana
For this first technique, I want you to grip the hilt of your sword tightly to prepare yourself for this jutsu. Lightning is wild and unpredictable element, which is why it must be used with great caution. Envision the nature of lightning, the sporadic nature of its movements, its ability to numb/paralyze on contact and the way it conducts along metals. Focus your raiton chakra into your blade, attempting to stabilize a steady current of lightning which produces the distinct sound of chirping birds. Instead of performing this jutsu on me, I'd like you to have a sword fight with my clone. When you feel the time is right, initiate this technique without any warning to cut through his steel blade, allowing you to land a fatal blow.
Key Points: This isn't considered an elemental technique, however it does have a elemental counterpart.
( Kenjutsu: Hirashin ) - Sword Technique: Lightning Rod
Noticing his blade being broken, as a last resort, my clone will release a unfocused current of electricity from his body, attempting to paralyze you with it so to stop your sword strike. In response to this, cease the flow of lightning to your blade and instead, point it towards the floor and stab the tip into the ground (to ensure conduction). Use your chakra to calmly divert the unfocused current of lightning through your body and straight into the ground, stopping any and all harm from coming to yourself.
Key Points: By far my most favourite/most used Kenjutsu techniques. I don't enter short range without my sword sheathed. Close combat is a dying art, so this jutsu is a useful tool for anyone who likes Taijutsu/Kenjutsu.

Description: The user by use of a sword can use it as a rod to attract lightning currents that are channeled into the user from opponents attacks and by pointing the tip of the blade into the ground the user is then able to dispel the lightning charge nullifing the effects of paralysis. However this only works on free flowing lightning based techniques such as the Chidori current and not on focused lightning based techniques

It's quite alright, sensei. I've been quite busy myself too. c: I'm unsure if you were to conduct a short sparring session with me or if I were to do this alone, but I shall choose the latter for the moment. I should be able to perform that elemental counterpart as well. I have Raiton trained up to A Rank.
Gripping the hilt of his sword tightly, Inichi readies himself by slightly crouching. Unsheathing his sword, he calmly rushes at Kakuzu's clone, swinging his blade to collide with Kakuzu's. Slightly jumping back, Inichi strikes twice more, once again being blocked both times before dealing a hard slash to the clone's blade, causing it to stagger slightly.
Taking a deep breath, he calms himself and envisions lightning gripping his blade wildly as he channels his Raiton chakra into the sword's blade. As the clone begins to regain its bearings, Inichi's blade begins to crackle and chirp with the current of electricity. As the clone prepares to block this attack, Inichi, without delay, charges at the clone and slices right through its blade. Inichi draws his blade, attempting to deliver one final stab to the clone. Upon this, Kakuzu's clone begins to release an electrical current from itself, forcing Inichi into a defensive stance. Inichi quickly stabs his sword into the ground. As the current hits Inichi, the sword funnels this into the ground instead, averting harm to himself.
After the current is expelled, Inichi initiates a final jutsu and makes a quick horizonal slash across the clone's torso, and again diagonally to its lower left side, horizontally once more from its right to its left, before following up with a hard upward slash across the clone's chest. Inichi tightly grips his hilt backhanded before slicing it across the clone's neck. Upon this, the clone disappears.
"Was that good, sensei? I tried to most effectively use things I've learned and threw a Ken Rendan no Jutsu in the end as well."
