Thanks for the pics, they sort of help understand techniques more clearly.

Barragan unsheathed his tantō, and held it firmly in his grasp; the tip of the sword directed straight towards the horizon. Swiftly, Barragan moved forward towards the dummy, and delivered a vicious horizontal slash; from left to right. Rapidly gaining momentum, Barragan shifted his body weight to the right, pivoting in that direction and quickly executed a second slash to the target, slitting its neck.

As the human proxy fell down on the ground, unable to stand the attack, Barragan jumped into the air; airborne directly above the dummy. Sticking his sword out, aiming straight at the dummys head, Barragan quickly positioned his feet so as for them to rest half-way up the blade and twisted his body to the right; executing a stunning midair spin that would look very much like a 'drill' before decisively coming down upon the dummy and piercing through its head.​

 

[Shinta]

No worries, unfortunately I only have pictures for those two jutsu... I found them only cause those jutsu reminded me so much of Link's move-set in Super Smash Bros. so I was able to easily locate a picture for them.

(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.

You don't necessarily have to bolt/run at your target, just be in close enough reach to draw your sword enough, so that it is still in its scabbard but enough so the pommel of the handle can strike your target; aiming for the gut for easy reach and to wind them for a moment. This will allow you follow up with all sorts of creative attacks via kicks, remembering that you can do all sorts of damage with your them (within reason). One final kick will send your target airborne, you'll chase on foot and intercept their landing... with a solid punch, slamming them into a tree, rock or the ground.

Now, how could you use this in battle? Also perform the move, describing in detail your hits, what you aim for etc...

Barragan observed the dummy, who was standing right next to him; seemly unaware of what was to happen. Firmly holding his sword, Barragan partially unsheathed it; striking the dummy's gut with the hilt of the sword. Seeing this as an opening to conduct further attacks, he quickly sheathed back his sword and performed a high kick using his right leg, aimed at the dummy's head; and to further damage him, Barragan quickly raised his left leg delivering a vicious kick to the dummy's rib cage, simultaneously holding himself up with both of his arms. Then in one final kick, Barragan used both of his legs to deliver a strong kick to the dummy's chin, sending the dummy flying. Paying close attention to the dummy, in an attempt to identify the location of where it would land, Barragan quickly dashed forward and executed a quick punch to the dummy's face with his right hand, sending it slamming to the ground.​

 

[Shinta]

So I did also ask how could you use this in battle... remember, just because a jutsu says to do 'this' and 'that' it doesn't mean you have to do everything it says. You could for example, use the hilt strike to make your opponent flinch or stumble to give yourself an opening for say an elemental jutsu or even rasengan. With anything free-form based, such as Kenjutsu and Taijutsu, I think the best thing I can encourage you and other students to do, is to think creatively and outside the box with how you use these jutsu. That sort of thinking can then be applied to your other field of ninjutsu, to create combinations and help to put your own spin on the way your character battles/how you're seen as a rp'er.

Anyway, I won't ask you to go back and explain how you'd use it in battle, we'll just move on.

Since the following jutsu are similar, in the sense they require you to utilise shape manipulation of your chakra, I'll post two jutsu for you!

Spoiler

(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.

The description tells you what you need to do... what I'm interested in is if you understand the chakra manipulation. Tell me what your chakra is doing around the sword and the effects of it on your opponent. When it says drilling slash, it means you are thrusting the point of your blade towards your target, the drilling has to do with the chakra...

Spoiler

(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.

Simple stuff, you do this with many wind jutsu with either your sword or hands... Describe to me what you are doing with your chakra and attack that pillar of solid rock; as per usual, full description of how you strike and the effects you aim for on the target.

Drilling Crimson Blade

As Barragan channeled his chakra into his sword, he swiftly dashed towards the dummy; slashing him upwards. Seeing the dummy substantially propel from the blow, Barragan would look upwards and jump very high into the air, high enough to be above the flying victim. Now looking down at the dummy whilst being airborne, Barragan would then slash downwards with the tip drilling into the dummies torso, pushing him into the ground.

What the chakra basically does is that it makes the blade more refined. Swords cloaked with chakra are not only more durable, but they've greater penetration and general slashing power.

スライスクリムゾンウェーブ
Slicing Crimson Wave

---

Barragan unsheathed his sword, and held the sword horizontally, albeit slightly tilted upwards. Barragan then channeled his chakra into the sword, with resulted in reddish chakra enveloping the tool and acting as a cloak to the weapon. Once he had done so, Barragan simply raised his sword and swiftly moved it horizontally, in a crescent-formation, releasing a red wave of chakra that exited the sword. The wave of chakra proceeded to move right through a rock pillar, slicing it to two and deliver a significantly deep gash to the wall right behind the pillar.

Basically, what happens here is that the sword releases a wave of crescent shaped chakra, which by is capable of cutting through objects. This is yet another form of Shape Manipulation. ​

Stop formatting your replies, I can deal with the line breaks but there is no need for the fonts, size changes and Kanji... Thank you for the effort but I really want you to stop doing it now.

You have an understanding of what the chakra's effect is, but how is it achieving this effect? A massive clue is in the name of the technique.

all i wanted was for senpai to notice me :|

The sword is achieving this effect by performing a drilling slash upon the opponent. The chakra increases the penetrative ability of the sword, allowing it to pierce right through the flesh of the opponent or any obstacle in their path.

How are you manipulating the chakra coating your sword?

 

[Hell Autarch]

How are you manipulating the chakra coating your sword?

The chakra is manipulated to cover up the sword, enhancing its penetrative and slashing power.

Basically, a tool is much stronger when it is coated with chakra. Even normal Taijutsu is enhanced when it is coated with chakra, for example Gentle Fist involve coating the palm with chakra and then thrusting the chakra into the chakra points of the opponent.

The point is that chakra basically 'sharpens' the blade. Honestly, I am not sure what else to say .__.

I mean, we manipulate the chakra to strengthen the sword. I mean, raw chakra is able to pierce much more easily through defenses when compared to a normal tool.

Sorry yeah, that is all I know.

 

[Shinta]

You are making the chakra spin around the blade... like a drilling motion... says right there in the name of the jutsu .__.

This gives it more penetration in comparison to a normal chakra coated sword. You kept telling me the 'what' but not the 'how'. Even when you told me the correct what, you still didn't cover the right things...

Well, that sort of helped end the confusion. .__.

Alright, so that is why this sword has greater penetration in contrast to other similar techniques. The blade revolves around the spin in a drilling motion, which sort of means that this jutsu is better at 'piercing' the opponents body than slashing.

 

[Shinta]

I could have told you a little earlier... but I'm hungry and shops are closed for today :T_T:

and since I did that to you... you get another legitimate reply.

(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.

Leap into the air after channelling chakra into your blade, a blue hue will appear over the blade, before spinning rapidly in a circle while releasing the chakra. You'll create a blue circle around you that reaches mid-range.

Discuss your views on this jutsu, vulnerabilities, uses etc.

Basically Link's Hold-B attack in Super Smash Brothers... only Blue and you leap into the air O__O' or more accurately, his Up+B which is basically the aerial version of his B attack...

 

[Hell Autarch]

no more weird font, color, size change for senpai U_U

Barragan unsheathed his sword, and pointed the tip of the sword towards the horizon, albeit slightly tilted upwards. Barragan then channeled his chakra into the sword, which resulted in blue chakra enveloping the tool and acting as a cloak to the weapon. Not wasting any time, Barragan jumped into the air and proceeded to pivot to his right, spinning at a rapid rate with the sword extended, creating a circle of chakra around himself extending upto 6m.

This technique basically involves spinning at a rapid rate whilst wielding a sword. It sort of resembles a beyblade [hope you know what that is ._.]. I personally would not recommend the usage of this technique.

I believe there are numerous vulnerabilities regarding this technique. First of all, it leaves the user completely vulnerable to an attack coming from below or above the user. Moving on, this technique is also very 'useless' so to speak against elemental techniques of the same Rank. For example, if my opponent were to use a B Ranked Fireball against this technique; it would leave me badly burned. Because this technique involves the user spinning at a rapid rate, it could also sort of 'blind' the user. I mean, if the user has the Sharingan; he may be able to keep spinning whilst also keeping an eye on the opponent but any other person would only be able to see a blurred version of his opponent whilst they're spinning very fast. I also think that the 'jump into the air' gives away the element of surprise and gives the opponent enough time to weave a handseal or two.

Uses of this technique could possibly involve defending against projectiles such as a kunai, shuriken. Other uses also include such as defending against attacks that are coming from all sides. For example, it can used to fight off against Kikaichu bugs. Like I mentioned before, I would personally not use this technique as it doesn't really go well with my bio.

Sensei... since I'm actually the teacher... good to know I've crushed my student though xD

Beyblades... wow, that was some time ago xD

So your job now is to try to channel and keep a Chidori Nagashi focused purely on your sword, giving it greater cutting ability as well as the ability to numb people on contact. *Performing the Chidori Nagashi is not needed, it's a part of this jutsu*

Spoiler

(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.

You can maintain this jutsu while using other kenjutsu or taijutsu attacks, though it would need to be re-posted each turn and cost chakra/a jutsu spot.

So you are aware of the two variants of Chidori; a full body surge and channelling into objects/the ground. Full body surge is the only Nagashi Method that can release the genjutsu and only reaches short range (around your entire body), where as channelling it over (lightning never flows through objects, only over... things like water and air are mediums of which it travels through) an object or surface, it can reach mid-range in one direction.

In this case, you'll be channelling lightning into your sword and leaving a charge on it, before plunging it into the ground to attract my chidori nagashi... which I'll send at you across the ground.

Spoiler

( 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

*Uses chidori nagashi, channelling it across the ground to reach you.*

 

[Hell Autarch]

One Thousand Birds Katana
Baraggan unsheathed his sword, and pointed the tip of the sword towards the horizon, albeit slightly tilted upwards. Baraggan then began by kneading his chakra, and channeling it throughout his body. He than began to convert the chakra, by molding and compressing it to introduce the element of Raiton. As bolts of lightning were produced, Baraggan released this amplified lightning chakra, and channeled it to his sword.

Lightning Rod
Using the same sword into which he had channeled Chidori Nagashi, Baraggan now plunged the sword into the earth. The sword containing positive metal ions would attract the negatively charged Chidori Nagashi released by Shinta and would attract the stream of lightning towards the sword, acting as a conductor for the lightning and basically preventing the lightning from reaching Baraggan.

 

[Shinta]

Okay, so any questions, concerns or issues with anything related to Kenjutsu or what you've just learned?

 

[Hell Autarch]

Would One Thousand Birds Katana be able to stop S Ranked Earth since it technically does involve utilizing A Ranked Chidori Nagashi

If not, why exactly should a person use this technique instead of simply channeling Nagashi into a sword? I mean, if I channel Nagashi into a sword, it would count as A Ranked I think. But this technique makes it B Rank somehow .__.

I mean, why was this technique created in the first place...? The exact same effect can be achieved by using Nagashi.. Was it to help out Samurai..?

 

[Shinta]

Stopping S-ranked earth is a broad statement that I can't answer, you'd have to consider logic in terms of size of the technique you are defending from; especially from the point that (Kusanagi no Tsurugi: Chidorigatana) - Grass Cutter Sword: One Thousand Birds Katana is a cutting technique.

(Raiton: Chidori Nagashi) - Lightning Release: One Thousand Birds Current
Rank: A
Type: Offense/Defence
Range: Short (Mid if channeled through a medium)
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A (+10 if used to boost weapon damage)
Description: This jutsu allows the user to generate non-focused electricity from their body. It can be used as an omnidirectional attack or be channeled through weapons, the ground or other conductive mediums. Because the electricity isn't focused, it doesn't kill on contact, instead it has great numbing and paralyzing effects. To channel Nagashi through a medium, the user needs to focus the technique into one of his hands which will then be put in contact with the medium and can only choose to either do a widespread attack throughout his whole body or to channel it into something; he cannot achieve both usages at the same time. Despite not having much destructive or damaging properties, Nagashi can be used to destroy low rank earthen and wooden structures and even negate chakra on the ground to stop high ranked earth and wood techniques. It has also been noted that Lightning Specialists that have mastered Lightning to the highest degree can resist total paralyzation, although they still feel the pain and numbing effects.
Note: Paralyzation lasts 1 turn if sucessful but is ineffective against bios who have a primary Lightning Specialty

That is the Chidori Nagashi technique, have a read through it and give me your analysis of how it acts when channelled into a medium, such as a sword.

Samurai also wouldn't be able to use the (Kusanagi no Tsurugi: Chidorigatana) - Grass Cutter Sword: One Thousand Birds Katana, perhaps you could tell me why it is that Samurai aren't able to use this?

 

[Hell Autarch]

I know I know, for example A Ranked Chicago Sharp Spear cannot be used to destroy Greater Earth Golem Technique.

When Nagashi is channelled into a sword for example, unfocused electricity covers the sword. if the sword comes into contact with any person; it would paralyze the person and numb said area which is very similar to what One Thousand Birds Katana tries to achieve.

Samurai cannot use Ninjutsu and hence, are prohibited from using Elements. I mistakenly assumed that maybe the RP Miss decided to be nice to the Samurai just once and gave them the ability to use Nagashi via a Sword ._.

 

[Shinta]

Why would the RP be nice to Samurai? They are the one who opted not to learn/use Ninjutsu xD

Anyway, you've missed a pretty critical point... look at the damage of the (Kusanagi no Tsurugi: Chidorigatana) - Grass Cutter Sword: One Thousand Birds Katana and look at the damage, specifically the note after it, of Chidori Nagashi. Then tell me what you'd rather use to hurt someone.
