Yo, sorry for the long ass wait. Alright, we'll start off pretty simple. Give me a rundown on what Kenjutsu is, both inside of the NarutoVerse and any outside information you feel is relevant. What it is, where it's used, what notable characters and abilities that stem from it, anything you feel captures what Kenjutsu is. You're free to use the Wiki, of course, but try not to copy and paste, use your own words as best as you can. No need for an essay or anything like that. Lemme know when you reply if you'd prefer in-character training/RP, or out-of-character training/analysis, and we'll continue from there.

Kenjutsu : (Way of the sword)
Kenjutsu is a word used collectively for any technique that requires the use of a sword. It can be used in conjunction with other Ninja ways like, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu and Genjutsu and even elemental chakra to achieve much more strong results. As he user has to carry the sword and swing it, he uses his physical energy. More power is added to the techniques by using spiritual energy or in other words chakra. Kenjutsu like taijutsu is mostly used in close combat, but there are techniques that can be used from distance like long range slashes etc.
As there are various ways to use kenjutsu, there are various different type of swords and various techniques that stem from these swords. Kenjutsu is quite a versatile type of fighting. Most ample example would 7 swordsmen of mist. All the 7 have different types of swords and have become legendary due to their ability with the sword.

Very good. You mentioned using chakra to enhance the capabilities of the sword, apt inclusion as the first technique we'll be covering is slightly related to that.
( Shuuren Kiwa ) - Training Edge
Type: Supplementary
Rank: E
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 5
Damage: N/A
Description: This is a technique generally taught to aspiring swordsman and could be considered the opposite of using wind chakra to lengthen and sharpen a blade. Usually, a Swordmaster or other instructor would use their own chakra to create a small “U” shape around the edges or point of a weapon. The chakra acts as an invisible scabbard on the blade, allowing the students to spar without killing each other or wounding each other past minor bruises and aches caused by the blunt force of the “scabbard” blade making contact. The user activates this technique by extending their hand along a ridge and just letting a small amount of chakra out. This technique is very simple and quick.
Note: Courtesy of KeotsuEclipse
This is a technique donated by KE into common usage of the RP. It's not got much use outside of training to be very honest, or some basic RP. You might find use if you're trying not to kill your opponent and just wanna knock em out though. Since this is a basic technique, there's not much to go into for this one, so if you don't have any questions, we can move on to the next one.

No questions really. Basically you make a chakra coat over the edge of your sword blunt to prevent any cutting or slashing.

I'm posting these all together because they're all rather straightforward, so there's no need to meticulously go into these one at a time. The first three are essentially flurries, allowing you to strike the target several times with your blade before finishing them off with a powerful blow. Note that because the blows aren't specifically defined, you can execute them however you'd like so long as they follow the number and sequence there. The final one is very straightforward; when you're in midair, you allow yourself to drop towards the enemy and skewer them with your blade. Any questions?

Fury Swallow Technique |
Circular Wild Dance |
Falling Water |
No questions. We can continue....
Just like a taijutsu technique where you perform a series of punches followed by a strong uppercut, here you do all that but with the sword.
Fury Swallow Technique |

Circular Wild Dance |
Similar to a taijutsu move "Leaf Tempest" where user kicks the opponent while spinning and kicks them with each rotation. In this case instead of Kicks user slashes with his sword.
Falling Water |
This technique is very similar to Hawk Eye' technique where he jumps in the air and just sits on his blade and drills the tip of his sword into his enemy. In this case however there is no sitting on the blade, just pointing the tip of the sword downwards and piercing the enemy.
No questions. We can continue....

Nice work.
(Nigenteki Ken Youshiki) Two-Blade Style
Type: Offensive/Supplementary
Rank: A-Rank
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage: 60
Description: An addition-line technique that augments the killing power of a blade like a kunai or sword by flowing chakra into it. The materialised chakra is shaped like a blade, cutting up everything it touches. It is also possible to alter the attack range of the weapon by adjusting the amount of chakra put into the blade. Seeing through the movements is said to be a Herculean task. The density of the chakra is so high it becomes visible. The chakra-enhanced blades are strong and sharp enough to strike through solid rock or cut through iron (B-rank or below).
Note: Mode lasts four turns and can only be activated once.
Note: User must own a pair of chakra blades.
( Nigenteki Ken Youshiki: Chikaku Cutto ) - Two-Blade Style: Close Cut
Type: Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage: 40
Description: After activating Two-Blade Style with his chakra blades, the user begins by slashing at his target twice, first with his dominant hand and then with his other, releasing two waves of piercing chakra waves. He finishes by slashing downwards with both hands hand to create one, final wave of chakra that has the combined strength of his chakra blades.
Note: User must own a pair of chakra blades.
( Senkō Jūjiki ) - Flash Cross Sever
Type: Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short

( Kusanagi no Tsurugi: Chidorigatana ) - Grass Cutter Sword: One Thousand Birds Katana
Type: Supplementary/Offensive
Rank: B
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.
The first technique is the Chakra Blade technique, which allows you to use the following two techniques. They are performed using chakra blades, which are commonly seen as the tools that Asuma wears on his knuckles. Once you activate the mode, you're able to increase the range of your slices even further by using shape manipulation to extend the chakra blades. The fourth technique is rather simple, you flow a current of lightning that is based on the Chidori technique through your sword. The metal vibrates at a high intensity due to the lightning's current, allowing you to increase your blade's potency as well as numbing the target in areas that you strike.
Any questions?

Grass Cutter Sword: One Thousand Birds Katana |
It was clearly shown in anime when Naruto was learning Rasen Shuriken. Asuma channeled chakra into his blades and threw them right through a tree and then through a rock, while Narutos chakra blade only hit the tree.
Question | The technique description says that user needs chakra blades. So it cannot be applied into the Normal sword right?

Two-Blade Style: Close Cut |
Pretty straight forward. After activating the above technique, user makes one slash with his left hand and then with his right and releases chakra waves with each slash. Then he slashes his blade downwards with both his hands but these slashes of chakra merges to become one final slash.
Flash Cross Sever |
So this one adds the taijutsu and kenjutsu into one. After activating the two chakra blades technique, user first punches the opponent and then slashes them with his blades in a crossed style.
Grass Cutter Sword: One Thousand Birds Katana |
I understand the concept.
Question
Do I have to separately create a chidori and then use this technique, which will use two moves or just use this technique and only use one of three moves?

1. No, I don't believe so. You'd have to use the special chakra blades. Though you could probably make a CW that uses the same material as chakra blades for the sword's blade 
2. Nah, the Chidori doesn't need to be formed separately. It forms with this jutsu. Jutsu that require you to form the other technique separately will say so explicitly.

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.

Rank: B
Range: Short - Mid

Description: The user does a simple cresent-shaped slash at the opponent, expelling a red chakra wave.
All pretty simple. Only thing to note is that in the second technique, you're moving at high speed, but will always be bound to your moving speed. It's not teleporting or anything like that. Any questions?
