*Godot sips coffee as he strolls into the training ground with 6 others trailing behind. He grins, seeing that his student is someone familiar.*

Good to see you! Between you and me this is my first time teaching Kenjutsu so it's something new for the both of us. To get things rolling just tell me everything you already know about Kenjutsu. What is it all about and who are some noteworthy kenjutsu users? :coffee:

Kenjutsu is the art of fighting with a sword using your weapon to its full extent. This the technique that involves the usage of swords in combat, you can also combine them with chakra to create more deadly attacks. When two shinobi of the same caliber clashes, the one with the sharper blade always win. Thats what Asuma told to naruto.

Notable kenjutsu users are:

Anbus: They always carry a katana at their back.
Seven Sword Shinobi of the mist: These guys are crazy sword users
Sasuke: Sasuke combines his lightning chakra with his kusanagi sword to make it even more powerful.
Bee: A crazy rapper wielding 8 swords at the same time. The best sword user i have seen so far in naruto manga!
Samurais: Their fighting style is basically kenjutsu all the way!
The list goes on!

Right. Enough of that. Now we move on the good part. You already know Pein and our methods so there's no need for introductions. First technique is a wildcard. Just attack the enemy with a series of slashed with your sword, finishing with a debilitating strike most likely aimed for a vital point. Dice em good.

*sends a Pein at you*

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.

Strong Points

  • It is a good technique for finishing a battle
  • You can use it continuously so you can defeat your opponent fast
  • It only takes little chakra but deals great damage.
Weak Points

  • It can be blocked by a higher ranked technique

Combinations Strategies

I could use Raiton: Chō Biburāto Raitontō to increase the cutting power of my sword.


(Chō Biburāto Raitontō) - Super Vibrating Lightning Release Sword
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A (+15 to kenjutsu and standard attacks)



Ways to counter this Technique

I would counter it with another sword; a shield higher than C Rank, or maybe use Substitution jutsu.

You Doing the Jutsu

Grabbing the bottom of the hilt with my left hand while the right is places just above, I shuffle my left foot forward having it slightly pointed out while doing the reverse with my right foot & slide it back pointed toward the right, I slightly bend down & raise my arms over my head. I then thrust my katana down & forcefully have it come to a halt level to my stomach, slowly raising it back over my head I repeat the motion continuously adding more force behind my swings speeding the process each time, until i slash down one of the incoming pains!

I see. Not the most creative approach but effective nonetheless! I hope you've warmed up because now we'll be practicing sets of three. The first is quite straitforward: Deliver three punches to your enemy before slashing them twice with your blade. A sword works but kunai are just as good. Remember, eye of the tiger!

*sends a Pein at you*

(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.

Next, just slash your enemy with a tanto several times as you spin. You know...a short sword, flat at the top...Anbu like Sai carry them. Obviously it's useful as a 360 degree attack capable of hitting enemies all around you. Anyway, take this if you want to live!

*tosses you a tanto as two Peins run at you from both sides*

( 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.

Here's a technique done in midair. Once you're above an enemy, point your sword downward and drive the blade into them. Aiming for the head could ensure a fatal blow. Drop in an surprise him.

*points to a Pein digging a large hole, his grave apparently*

( Rakkasui ) - Falling Water

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.

Strong Points

  • Because of the taijutsu attacks, is faster than other techniques that only use kenjutsu.
  • Is even more simple than the last one.
Weak Points

  • Is not as deadly as other techniques, if you want to finish your opponent he may still live.
  • Taijutsu attacks are more easily blocked than kenjutsu attacks.
  • Is a good technique to hurt your opponent but not kill him.
Combinations Strategies

Well, I would try like in my last post to use something to distract or a smoke bomb to go sneakly, if my opponent is not a Doujutsu user, because in this bio (Uchiha) I have sharingan, I would be able to see his chakra signals and he wouldn't see me.

Ways to counter this Technique

I would try to block the taijutsu attacks with freeform and then use my sword to block the last 2 slashs, because kenjutsu and taijutsu techniques can be blocked with freeform, correct me if I'm wrong.

You Doing the Jutsu

Itachi first goes running in the direction of his opponent without drawing his sword yet, he then performs a foward punch in the pains chest with his right arm, then he repeat the punch more 2 times using his other arm aswell, he then grabs his sword which was in his right, to then deal a slash from where he got my sword in diagonally from right to left, then Itachi makes a horizontal slash from left to right to finish off pain.

Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 25
Description: The user spins with his tantō, hitting the target several times.

Strong Points

  • Simple technique is simple.
  • Can be underestimated because of it's simplicity.
  • Spin to win
Weak Points

  • Basic technique, easily counterable.
  • Leaves the user too exposed because he is spinning and can't see very clearly.
  • Can be easily blocked by a simple jutsu.
Combinations Strategies

First get near your opponent, trying to get him distected with a smoke bomb or something, getting near him, I quickly slide behind him and slide my tanto to deal multiple hits to him.

Ways to counter this Technique

Just block the attacks with a sword, Or keep a distance from the opponent.

You Doing the Jutsu

Itachi grabs the tanto tossed by sensei, then he waits for both the pains to get closer. Once they both gets closer Itachi start to spin in a 360 degree motion, to deal multiple slashes on both the pains with the tanto, dealing 8 slashes in 4 spins, all on both the pains chest.

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.

Strong Points

  • If it connects, can be instakill if it hits the head.
  • Attack from the above.
  • Can be used if you were falling from the air and couldn't do another jutsu.
Weak Points

  • Needs to hit a vital spot to be effective.
Combinations Strategies

I'd first create an wall of earth in front of me, hiding me from the enemy, then create an earth pillar pushing me upwards as I draw my sword and use the technique.

Ways to counter this Technique

Attack the enemy as he is falling to me as he'd be vunerable, or block it using an earth jutsu, making the sword get flinched in it.

You Doing the Jutsu

Itachi first draws his katana and then, using the strenght of his legs, jumps, going above the pain who is busy digging a hole, in mid air, then, he points the katana downwards in the direction of pain, as he keeps falling he puts the sword pointing pain's head. Once Itachi gets close enough he drills the sword into pains head both surprising and killing him

ugh...so much unnecessary stuff to ignore #^#

Not bad. Now i want you to dash in front of your enemy and strike them with your sword handle. Follow up with several kicks to launch the enemy into the air. As he is falling and nearing the ground, dash over to to his position and deliver a powerful punch sending him crashing into an obstacle like a tree or boulder. A rather unorthodox technique but good for dispatching an enemy not worth dirtying your blade on. Take him out.

*point to a Pein coming at you with a sword*

(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.

For this one begin by channel chakra into your sword. After running toward your enemy and slashing them into the air, appear above them and deliver a strong piercing thrust downward that would impale the enemy on the ground. Another effective move similar to another you performed earlier. Show him real pain.

*sends a Pein at you, unarmed but furious*

Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20

Strong Points


  • As you said, has a lot of hits.
  • Can deal more damage if I have a taijutsu boost.
  • Can have a follow up after it.

Weak Points


  • As you said, can be countered by blocking the kicks.
  • Not so lethal.

Combinations Strategies

I'd first use the sensory technique to sense the enemy, and, again using a smoke bomb, hide me from him possibly, follow his movements with the sensory and perform the technique.

Ways to counter this Technique

I would try to block the taijutsu attacks with freeform and then use my sword to block the last 2 slashs, because kenjutsu and taijutsu techniques can be blocked with freeform, correct me if I'm wrong.

You Doing the Jutsu

Itachi runs towards the clone with his katana in his right hand, getting close to the pein, Itachi slashes the clone once, diagonally, using the katana, then he puts the katana back and quickly perform 5 kicks in pein's chest, then, to the final kick, he kicks him on the chin, sending him upwards, as he is about to reach the ground from falling in front of him, Itachi uses his right hand and punches the clone, pushing him and finishing him.

Strong Points


  • Powerful for one jutsu
  • Two moves in one jutsu.

Weak Points


  • Can be easily blocked by another blade
  • When the enemy blocks one of your attacks, tech fails.
  • Can be easily blocked by higher rank kenjutsu.

Combinations Strategies

I'd first use the sensory technique to sense the enemy, and, again using a smoke bomb, hide me from him possibly, follow his movements with the sensory and perform the technique.

Ways to counter this Technique

Move aside, or block with a strong sword, maybe also use a substitution jutsu.

You Doing the Jutsu

Itachi looks at the clone and begins channeling his chakra into his sword. He then races towards the clone and using only his right hand, makes and windmill motion with his right arm to strike the furious pein. (I'm holding the sword with my right arm only straight up, and I wind mill it in a circle so when I'm coming back up, it slashes at pein) The force of the speed and the added strength from the chakra makes the pein fly high in the air. Itachi then follows through with the pein and jumps right in front of it. Itachi grabs the sword with his other hand and places the sword high above his head. He then strikes down the sword with both hands at the pein and follows through with it, so that as pein is falling, Itachi is going down with him to continue the strike.

Great, moving on. This is the only projectile technique you'll get. Simply make a crescent shaped slash at your enemy and release a red chakra wave from the blade. And yes, it cuts like an actual blade. Take your pick.

*points to a line-up of Peins looking very nervous*

(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.

Now, using Chidori current, flow electricity through your blade to greatly improve its cutting ability and numb the body of whoever is cut. If you don't know that jutsu, skip this. You don't need to post it or anything like that. Give him a shocking end.

*sends a Pein at you wielding a sword*

Strong Points

  • Easy to pull off technique.
  • Technique is flawless when combined with (Fūton: Shinkūha) – Wind Release: Vacuum Wave
Weak Points

  • Tech can be easily dodged since the red chakra is visible to the eye.
Combinations Strategies

Using (Fūton: Shinkūha) – Wind Release: Vacuum Wave with this jutsu would leave a great impact.

Ways to counter this Technique

I would try to block the incoming attack with (Fūton: Tsuyoi Kaze Nami) - Wind Release: Powerful Wind Wave, Or (Futon: Tatsumaki Heki) - Wind Release: Tornado Wall to defend and attack at the same time.

You Doing the Jutsu

After picking Pain Ningendo, I unsheath my sword from my back. I start focusing my chakra onto my blade. I then start running towards Ningendo. I grip my hold of the blade, and start slashing. I slash somewhat curvish, and another slash that makes it look like a crescent. As I do this, I focus my chakra onto the blade. I then release all the chakra as I slash the Ningendo. This creates a red chakra wave which goes on to hit Ningendo.

(Kusanagi no Tsurugi: Chidorigatana) - Grass Cutter Sword: One Thousand Birds Katana
Rank: B

Strong Points

  • Great Tech for both Offensive and Defensive purpose.
  • Has a great cutting power because of chidori powered through it.
  • Just penetrating the opponents body, makes it go numb.
Weak Points

  • Its a bad matchup against wind users.
Combinations Strategies

Normal form of Kenjutsu will do.

Ways to counter this Technique

(Fūton: Shinkūjin) - Wind Release: Vacuum Blade would be a very good counter.

You Doing the Jutsu

I first perform the necesary hand seals,and focus my chakra in my body. Once done,I channel the chakra into my right hand and begin releasing it there while using nature transformation to convert it into lightning and shape manipulation to turn in into an orb of sorts, I then manipulate it into a current of lightning which I flow into my sword. As I do so I begin running towards poor Ningendo once again, and as I get in range I suddenly stop and swing my sword in an arc from the right to the left,and slash Ningendo across his chest.

That last tech doesn't require handseals btw.

Alright. This is it, the end of the line. Just two moves left. First, channel chakra into your sword until it becomes visible on the blade. Then leap into the air and spin rapidly like a top. Your blade should form a circle as you spin and cut through your enemy. Cut him down.

*points to a Pein taunting you*

(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.

Finally, if you are being shocked by an unfocused lightning technique, by piercing the ground with the tip of your sword you can disperse the lightning through the ground and nullify its effects. There's only one way to test this you know? ;)

*places a hand on your shoulder with a devilish grin*

Chidori Nagashi!


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


( 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

Strong Points

  • Can also be used as defense; as you spin enemy can't touch you.
  • Really hard to dodge.
Weak Points

  • You still have to jump in the air, enemy can prevent you from doing that.
Combinations Strategies

I could use Raiton: Chō Biburāto Raitontō to increase the cutting power of my sword.

Ways to counter this Technique

I would simply use (Fūton: Atsugai) - Wind Style: Pressure Damage to blow him off. Since attack is the way of best defence. :p

You Doing the Jutsu

I begin by focusing my chakra into my sword. It soon begins to turn blue. Once prepared, I leap upward and start spinning with my sword in the air like a top, one hand tucked near me. As I spin, I rise higher and higher, hitting and slicing the pain that was taunting me into bits.

  • Only works on free flowing lightning attacks.
Combinations Strategies

No ideas. Need advise.

Ways to counter this Technique

No ideas. Need advise.

You Doing the Jutsu

"Gah! Last technique! I can't screw this up!"!" I stab the tip of my sword into the ground and make the sword act as a lightning rod to absorb the free-flowing current of lightning. As soon as the attack stops, I picks up my sword and I wait for my sensei's response.
