[Ken] Kooljay Learns The Way of the SwordRai

[Kooljay 👑]

Ok. I start to channel raw chakra into my sword. Because there is a large amount of concentrated chakra, it become visible by the naked eye and blue in color. I then dash and jump towards the clone while rapidly swing, cutting through it with ease.

 

[Souji]

Wrong. Try it again, with more YOUTH!

... oops, this ain't Tai training z.z

The very last standard Kenjutsu technique is perhaps the most useful. Use the tip of your blade and stab it on the ground when your opponent launches a Raiton jutsu. The sword will act as a lightning rod to absorb and dispel the energy, keeping you safe from harm.

I'll clarify a few points here. You can only channel and dispel Raitons up to A-rank, and they won't work on Lightning techniques that are 'focused', meaning Raitons that have a certain shape or are projectile based. Current-based jutsus and basic flowing lightning jutsus can be redirected, however.

To show you exactly what I mean, I'm going to attack you with a Chidori Nagashi, a free-flowing lightning current. Use that last technique to protect yourself!

Ready?

*standing short range from Raiden, Souji molds Lightning chakra through his body and releases it as an omnidirectional, unfocused current that would paralyze his student if the latter didn't defend himself.*

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

 

[Kooljay 👑]

As commanded, I pierce the ground beneath me with my sword as you release Chidori Nagashi. Your free flowing raiton jutsu flows throw me, through my sword into the ground completely nullifying the jutsu with no harm done to myself.

 

[Souji]

*slightly awkward silence occurs*

... uhhh... well, we're done with the techniques xd

Do you have any further questions?

 

[Kooljay 👑]

Nope. Thanks for handling my kenjutsu training.
