Appearing in a blind flash behind the shinobi, sword unsheathed and raised 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 ?

Kenjutsu, meaning "sword technique is a form of combat that pertains to wielding a sword, that is it means the art of the sword or of wielding a sword, it is used mostly by samurais as seen in the land of iron, however shinobis have been known to wield a sword too, it can be used along side ninjutsu, elemental ninjutsu, taijutsu, raw chakra, and even genjutsu to increase the damage of the user's attack.

Now we'll move onto the techniques.

(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.

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
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.

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.

"Okay, here I come..."
I dash towards you, with my sword still sheathed to my left side, the moment I near striking distance, I put my right leg forward, with my feet flat on the ground, and my left leg behind, with my heel raised, I unsheathe my sword with my right hand, and in the same fluid motion, deal an upward diagonal slash, from my left to right at your chest, followed by three successive random slashes, all aimed at your stomach level, then I finish my attack with a drop down, diagonal two-handed slash to the left side of your neck, then I sheathe my sword.

I again charge towards you, and the moment I reach striking distance, I deliver a side punch with my right hand to the left side of your jaw, with the intent of breaking it, immediately followed by an upper cut with my left hand to your jugular, causing you to be lifted up, and your head tilted back. I immediately unsheathe my sword, sheathed at my right side with my right hand while putting my right foot forward, and proceed to deliver a one-handed horizontal slash from left to right, aimed at your neck, and immediately follow up with a two-handed drop down vertical slash to your left shoulder.

Good work, moving onto the next two techniques.

( 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.

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
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 25
Description: The user will drop down upon the opponent from mid air pointing their sword downwards and drilling it down into the opponent.

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.

I charge towards you, once I reach striking distance, I place my right foot forward, then I unsheathe my from my left hand side with my right hand, and spinning in the same fluid motion(clockwise direction), with my right leg as pivot, delivering an upward diagonal strike, from left to right, striking your stomach, I continue spinning, delivering a second horizontal strike to your chest, third downward diagonal strike from left to right, aimed at your right shoulder, while still spinning, I crouch down, delivering a horizontal strike to your abdomen, and finally, I spin one more time, in a rising motion, I deliver an upward vertical slash to your chin, sending you upwards

I once again charge towards you, as you're airborne, I lift off, crouching a little, and propelling myself upwards, overtaking you, in height, then I unsheathe my sword with my right hand, and pointing my blade down at you, I deliver a vertical double-handed, downward strike to your shoulders, with my sword still lodged in your body, I cause myself to spin clockwise, drilling downwards until you hit the ground

Much better, keep up the good work. 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
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user bolts in front of the enemy who they then strike with their sword handle before delivering several kicks that sends the enemy into the air. The user then bolts across to the far off location of the enemy who they then punch violently into an obstacle.

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
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user takes out their blade and channels chakra into it. They then run towards the opponent, slashing them upwards into the air and then appear above him/her, and deliver a sharp, drilling slash down upon them, impelling them into the ground.

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.

ThanksxD

I channel my chakra to my leg, giving me a firmer grip, and making me able to move more efficiently, as I do that, I move at full speed towards you with my right hand on the handle of my sword, which is sheathed, and strapped to my left, nearing striking distance, I unsheathe my sword horizontally, while still moving, and in the same fluid motion, I thrust my sword forward, with the handle, striking your stomach with the back of the sword, then I swiftly crouch down, and placing my left hand to support me, I push myself upwards with my left hand, while delivering an upward kick with my right leg aimed just below your jaw, I thrust my left leg at your chest in succession, kicking you, sending you upwards as well as backwards, then I land in a crouched position, using my right hand to support myself, then I immediately spring up, dashing at the location you're supposed to crash, while clenching my right fist, I thrust it forward upon reaching you, delivering a violent punch to your chest, and smashing you to a tree behind you


I channel my chakra into my blade, and begin dashing towards you, reaching striking distance, I deliver an upward vertical slash with my right hand, due to the momentum gathered from running, and the force of the swing, I you flying upwards into the air, then I swiftly jump above you before you even notice, making it seem like I just appeared above you, I thrust my sword at your back, with both my hands holding the handle, while spinning clockwise, drilling the sword into your back and knocking you to the ground.

Good work, make sure all of your jutsu performances are of that caliber.

(Suraisu Shinku no Nami) - Slicing Crimson Wave
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user does a simple cresent-shaped slash at the opponent, expelling a red chakra 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: This exhibits the same properties as normal chakra, meaning it can be defended with elemental chakra.

(Chakura Bōsekiken) - Chakra Spinning Blade
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user will channel chakra into their sword making it glow blue and then jumping into the air they spin at a rapid rate creating a spinning circle and cutting through the enemy target.

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.

I will do so thanks!

With my right hand I grab the hilt of my sword sheathed and strapped to my left side, making a firm grip, then I begin channelling raw chakra through the sword, then I start dashing towards you, once the chakra I focused through the sword is enough, I unsheathe my sword, which is now glowing scarlet, and in the same fluid motion, I deliver a horizontal crecent-shaped slash at waist level, releasing at the same time a red wave of pure chakra in your direction.


Next I begin channelling my chakra to my sword, I focus my chakra to my sword till it starts to glow blue, I continue till the chakra coating stabilizes, then I jump into the air while attempting to spin, I outstretch my sword, and holding it with both hands, I force myself to spin in a clockwise direction, aiming that radial strike at your chest, I continue spinning, and striking you after every rotation, I force my self to spin faster with each spin, delivering multiple slash to your chest before finally stopping.
"All that spinning has made me dizzy @_@

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
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user flows Chidori current through a katana in manner similar to flying swallow technique. The Radiating and chirping blade can easily cut through steel. Furthermore, the body of the person cut by the sword goes numb, taking away their freedom of movement.

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
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: N/A
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

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.

I unsheathe my sword with my right hand, then I start charging towards your clone to engage him, reaching striking distance, I swing my sword from right to left just after placing my left foot forward, I don't stop however, taking advantage of the momentum gained from running, I deliver an upward diagonal strike aimed at your left side( which I your clone blocks I presume ) while forcing myself to spin anti-clockwise using my left foot as pivot, knowing I'm going to deal another strike once I spin, I begin channelling lightning chakra through my sword, envisioning the nature of lightning, and it's numbing and piercing ability, I produce a steady lightning current on my blade while spinning towards your direction, rotating towards you with my blade held up, I deliver a downward diagonal strike from right to left aimed at the left side of the clone's neck, in attempt to block my technique, the clashing of both swords cause the blade of your clone to break allowing to give the final blow.
Still in front of your clone I outstretch my right hand, about to deal a one handed stab to the clone's chest, and suddenly the clone releases non-focused lightning from his body, attempting to paralyse me, so I use my sword as a lightning rod, ceasing the lightning to my blade by pointing the tip at the electric current and immediately pierce to ground, utilizing my chakra, I divert the lightning currents to the ground, preventing paralysis.
