Taking Mythos, scabbard and all, Keotsu activated the sword's ability, and thus composed it in its entirety, something he rarely did. The scabbard "vanished", as the Mythril inside it went to making Mythos's true form, one rarely seen.

Laying his blade on top of Nanazi's blade, Keotsu watched as her blade took on a special silvery gleam that wasn't there before. Keotsu then lifted his blade away.

"Your blade is now covered in a very thin layer of Mythril, across its entirety. It now holds all the powers of Mythos itself, save for its ability to change shape. Use this gift well, for it only works for those who I let into the essence of my soul."

(Ani) Brother
Type: Supplementary
Rank: N/A
Range: N/A
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: Keotsu's legendary blade Mythos has been with him through trials and tribulations of all sorts; and in turn, Keotsu has used his strength to help his friends through their own challenges. The strength Keotsu could offer was always limited, though, as so many of his teachings were made with his own blade in mind. This technique allows others to use Mythos, when they normally could not. Because Mythos is tied to Keotsu's soul, he will perform a small ritual with one that Keotsu is incredibly close to: Keotsu will place Mythos in its entirety atop one of his brothers-in-arms' weapons, and coat it in an incredibly thin layer of the Mythril that Mythos is made of. In this action, Keotsu accepts this person into his soul, marking them as someone of great importance to him. This imparts the weapon with all the abilities of Mythos, except for the ability to change shape, the original ability that Mythos possessed in its form of "Mikomi", long, long ago.
*Note: Cannot be used in battle. The purpose of this technique is to allow others to be able to use Mythos.
*Note: True to the blade, if a piece of Mythos is ever used against Keotsu, this technique will "deactivate", and that person will be as if they could not have used Mythos in the first place.
*Note: Those who Keotsu teaches "Brother" will be able to use (Ten'notsurugi: Mythos, Jinsei no Sāberu) Astrum Sword: Mythos, Vita Saber with all of its abilities, except the ability to change shape.

(Ten'notsurugi: Mythos, Jinsei no Sāberu) Astrum Sword: Mythos, Vita Saber
Rank: N/A
Type: Weapon
Range: N/A
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage: +20 to Kenjutsu and Command Arts
Description: "The Blade of Heaven...Mythos the Life Sabre. One of the Ten Shinning Weapons." When Keotsu returned to the known continent from his journey to regions unknown, he returned with his blade Mythos in a new form; some secret event took place which reconfigured the blade and created a powerful connection between Keotsu and the sword. The Mythril blade retained its ability to change it's shape, but not it's mass when subjected to Keotsu's chakras, as did the scabbard of the weapon, though the two were no longer explicitly linked. A few improvements were noted by Keotsu, though: the blade seemed to resonate better than before, boosting his powers in battle; second, the blade came to reject energies that were foreign to Keotsu - that's to say, for example, if an enemy tried to use Nagashi after grabbing the blade, the energy would stop completely due to the nature of the blade's composition. This particular power comes about from the blade's new found synergy with Keotsu, in an effort to prevent it from being used against him. Retaining all the properties of the metal it was forged from, Mythos is indestructible and will never dull, in any of its forms.
*The user can manipulate the blade’s form during battle at any time, but it costs 35 chakra to do so, and also counts towards one of that turn’s three allotted moves.
*Can only be wielded by Keotsu. When someone else tries to hold the blade, it will reject their chakra and increase its density exponentially, making it to heavy to be lifted. However, it reverts to its original density when Keotsu is holding it.
*While the sword can transform into different types of weapons, like a katana or spear, it is bound by its mass, meaning that the form it takes on has to be within the realms of creating from the same amount of matter.
*While Mythos is in hand, Keotsu is unable to cast Genjutsu at all.

Nanazai took a grasp on her blade. The power the surged through her new reformed blade was amazing. She stood there in awe as she placed it back into its scabbard and waited to move on in training.

Keotsu smiled as his friend pointed to the headband he was wearing. Keotsu didn't have a home in such places, but his friend obviously had found a place he belonged. All the better for him.

"I think, then, we should start from the beginning. Mirage Blade was the first of the Command Arts to come into existence, and so now I shall teach you the second. This Command Art is known was Suiretsusen, and is a formidable Water-Based Kenjutsu technique. It works by holding your blade sideways, emulating the flat plane of the sky, and focusing your water chakras into the blade, summoning a rainstorm. Your chakra, laced into the rain, allows you to create was essentially a ring of tentacles around you for your manipulation. It's a powerful technique that can be manipulated for your advantage, and also weakens all fire techniques on the field by a quantified 30 points of damage (one rank, and then again by 10 damage). To have a fire technique match the power of this technique alone, would require it to have a quantified damage of 130. Any thoughts on it?"

(Kamei Gigei: Suiretsusen) Command Art: Water Fury Flash
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary/Attack
Range: Long(for rain) - Short- Medium (for attack)
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Cost: 80
Description: Holding their blade sideways, the user will run Suiton chakra through their blade, activating the technique. A great downpour will come over the terrain, providing water for this technique, as well as dropping all Fire Justu down one rank, and reducing their damage by 10. A ring of water will form around the user with a radius equal to that of the complete wingspan of the user (meaning it would be roughly 10-11 feet [roughly 3.2 meters] in diameter). This ring has a single tentacle for each of the eight points of the Compass Rose: North, South, West, East, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, and Southwest. The tentacles will strike at anything within range as the user commands them, but they do not attack on their own; they are approximately 5 feet [1.5 meters] long, and the user must know the general vicinity of the opponent(s) to strike them if they are behind him/her.
*As long as the rain continues to fall, or if there is an ample water source nearby, this technique remains in effect. The maximum, however, is four turns.
*Only once per battle.

"Why don't you give it a try?"

As Nanazai was told to do what he did, she drew her blade out from her scabbard again. This time, as she drew it she placed the blade in a perpendicular path. The blade was flat, parallel to the ground as she began to channel her water chakra into her blade. The moisture from the chakra as it was channeled into the air, causing a rainstorm to start above in the clouds over head.

As the water feel from the sky, she manipulated the water to form a ring of water around her as she created it. The ring extended into eight tentacles that covered the 8 coordinal points.

As she heard its power, she maintained the technique for a few moments before she stopped the rain as a whole and watched Keotsu.

“This rain can be used for Rain Release and as a water source as well?”

She asked with a simple simile.

"Yeah, that should go off without a hitch. It's just like any other water, with your chakra."

Keotsu thought for a second, before moving on to the next technique.

"This technique is incredibly simple, and seems rather basic. And in a way, it is. However, it's simplicity lends it an ease of use that makes it versatile. It is the companion technique to Suiretsusen, and meant to be used alongside it. It functions by focusing your Raiton energies into your blade, and thrusting it skywards, releasing a bolt of electricity to the heavens. The energy will continue to stream from your blade, and will saturate the atmosphere, weakening Doton techniques incredibly. You can fire the lightning bolt as a projectile, and you can place the electrified blade you now posses into Suiretsusen to electrify it, and create a devastating combination. With Raikōsen alone, a Doton technique would need more than 100 damage points to match it.

Why don't you try it? And if you have any questions about these two techniques, ask me. Or even suggestions. They are currently the only two Elemental Command Arts that I have created. I had attempted to create a Wind Command Art to complete the trio, but the synergy between these two techniques is so good, I cannot figure out how to incorporate a third."

(Kamei Gigei: Raikōsen) Command Art: Lightning Ray Flash
Rank: S
Type: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage: 80
Description: The user will run Raiton chakra through their blade while holding it skyward, to activate this technique. This technique fills the air with energy – so much so, that Doton jutsu fall one rank (due to the charges in the air disrupting the formation as the energy disperses into the earth), and that a lightning bolt continuously streaks from the user’s sword, enveloping it in electricity, to the sky. Though meant as a Support technique, using the lightning to augment physical and water element attacks or by creative means, this technique is not without its own offensive measure. Once per turn, the user can swing their blade, and send a bolt of lightning flying in the direction of their swing – the energy is discharged from the constantly streaking bolt that originates from the blade, though this can only be done twice, and not on consecutive turns, due for the need for the electricity to replenish.
*The lightning can only be fired once per turn, every other turn.
*This jutsu last for four turns before the electricity dissipates, and all modifiers are returned to normal.
*Only once per battle.
*Raiton cannot be used for two turns after this jutsu ends, due to the air being unable to hold a charge after being supersaturated with energy.

As shown now, Nanazai took her blade again and began to channel her ligntning chakra into the blade. As she does, she aims the blade towards the sky as she propelled the chakra from her blade upwards and into the clouds above. As the electric runs through the area and surrounds Nanazai and Keotsu, a lightning bolt came down from the sky and struck her blade all of a sudden. Nanazai screamed with a cute “Kya” and released her blade. The lightning kept streaking the blade.

Nanazai sighed and picked up the blade again. As the lightning bolt came down again, she took the sword and swung it towards the nearby tree and caused it to crack in half. The power was devastating to watch, though she was not a real fan of lightning.

She deactivated her technique and watched with blush on her face, and as she turns away, she asks the questions.

“Does this effect Wood Based or CE based on earth release as well?”

"Unless they are specifically weak to Raiton, I would not assume so. Now, for the final Command Art that I have to teach you, I leave to you the First Command Art. Mirage Blade. Simple in principle, but versatile in use. You create a shockwave which almost as if it was a projection of your own blade; a perfect copy, yet nearly invisible to the eye."

(Kamei Gigei: Kougenjin) Command Art: Mirage Blade


Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage: 20 each
Description: Unlike other Kenjutsu shockwaves which are generally large, Kougenjin is a relatively small shockwave that’s size is the same as the blade length of the sword used to launch it. Sacrificing power for speed and quantity, Mirage Blade travels at an incredible pace, relative to the user’s rank; Mirage Blade, when used by a Sannin, would be about twice as fast as a shockwave fired from the Samurai Sabre Technique, though its destructive force is obviously much less. A large amount of chakra is focused inside the user’s blade in the form of a constant flow – though normally the chakra could envelope the sword, here the chakra creates a shell on the inside of the blade, allowing the chakra to rebound infinitely and resonate with itself. When the user slashes their sword, it releases a portion of this chakra in the form of a white, rippling shockwave; thus the name Mirage Blade. Mirage Blade also carries the properties of the blade used to fire it, as well as its size; this means that if the blade used to fire Mirage Blade is sharp enough, Mirage Blade will pass through solid objects by slicing them in half and continuing on, much like a Wind element jutsu would.




*Mirage Blade is not Fuuton element, the comparison to a Fuuton jutsu takes into account an extremely sharp blade.
*Three shockwaves can be fired per use.
*This jutsu may be only be used 3 times per match.
*Useable and taught by Keotsu only.

As she was told, Nanazai took her sword once more, and channeling her chakra into it. As she does this, she creates a shell around the outside of the blade, as she performed a downward slash , unleashing three shockwaves of chakra, that fly towards the direction of her swing.

As they move and hurtled quickly they crash into the ground nearby and destroy the earth as they clash.

"Well that was interesting" she said kinda awestruck.
