[Ken] Nathan-sensei teaches Zanithe Kenjutsu

[Zanithe]

One/three advantages:

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

One/three disadvantages:

• 1. Can be easily blocked by another blade.
• 2. Enemy can easily dodge by moving aside

How you would use it in battle: When I find myself in a pinch and my enemy gives an opening
How you would counter it: Move aside, or block with a strong sword, maybe also substitution
How you perform it (with as much detail as you can): I channel chakra to my blade. I run to sensei's clone. I then swing my blade upward, making him fly to the sky. I focus chakra on my foot and jump high, above the clone. I then swing my blade downward drilling sensei's clone to the ground. The clone is gone now btw.

 

[Nathan]

2. Enemy can easily dodge by moving aside

Give me another one, you've use this one way too many times.

 

[Zanithe]

Sorry sir

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

 

[Nathan]

Swell.

(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.

This one is one of the more used techniques, since it is straight forward and well easy to pull off, what I want you to do is, gather your chakra in your blade and from there, I want you slash downwards to release a crescent shaped slash, at my clone. This technique releases a red wave of chakra, it's handy for targets that are at mid-range of you, and just an overall good technique.

 

[Zanithe]

One/three advantages:

• 1. Easy to pull off technique
• 2. Hard to dodge
• 3. Technique is flawless

One/three disadvantages:

• 1. Enemy can easily block with his own blade
• 2. Tech is very simple that the enemy can read it

How you would use it in battle: When I'm out if ideas on what to use, and when my enemy has an opening and I am close to him.
How you would counter it: By my own blade, higher ranked kenjutsu, substitution.
How you perform it (with as much detail as you can): I focus my chakra on my blade. I them run to sensei's clone. First I slash somewhat curvish, and another slash that is curvish as well, forming a crescent. As I do this, I focus my chakra to release a red wave chakra.

 

[Nathan]

This technique is actually so much better then you are giving credit for.

More detail when you are performing the technique. >_>

Also, I assume you don't have A-rank lighting?

 

[Zanithe]

Sorry sir

I start focusing my chakra onto my blade. I then start running to sensei's clone. 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 clone. This creates a red wave chakra. Sensei's clone disappears. I keep my blade back at the case.

~Also, we (with Orochimaru) just started Raiton with Souji senpai. No techniques yet at all.

 

[Nathan]

Ah okay.

You won't be able to learn this until you complete lighting, or get to A-ranks.

(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.

------------

So we'll move onto this:

(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.

Okay with this last technique that I can teach you, I want you to gather your chakra into your blade which will made the blade glow blue, from there I want you then to jump into the air and make yourself spin very fast, allowing you to cut threw your target, this technique looks useful, but I guess the fact you have to jump in the air to use it is, a bit of a downside.

 

[Zanithe]

One/three advantages:

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

One/three disadvantages:

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

How you would use it in battle: When I am in a place a little close to my enemy, when I can jump freely
How you would counter it: I can use higher ranked ken tech, substitution
How you perform it (with as much detail as you can): I channel chakra to my sword until it glows blue. I then jump in the air by focusing chakra on my foot to jump high. I start spinning from my right. I go closer to my enemy while spinning. I cut through every place he may hide. When I reach him, I hit him while spinning. (If I am in a match when death is not allowed, I'll stop spinning when I am in front of my enemy and slash him)

Also, you said "with this last technique I can teach you", does that mean training ends here, or it is the last of B Ranks?

 

[Nathan]

No there is one A-rank. My bad.

( 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

Pretty much attracts lighting techniques towards the blade. But the only lighting techniques that work with this technique are free flowing ones.

 

[Zanithe]

One/three advantages:

• 1. Can use opponent's attack again them
• 2. Nullifies paralysis

One/three disadvantages:

• 1. When there are no lightning currents tech is useless
• 2. Only works on free flowing lightning attacks

How you would use it in battle: When enemy performed many lightning techs I will use it against them
How you would counter it: Don't use lightning at all -_-
How you perform it (with as much detail as you can): I grab my blade and hold it upside down. I put the tip of the blade on he ground. I then focus my chakra and attract lightning chakra. I focus more and turn the lightning currents into my own chakra.

 

[Nathan]

You've completed Kenjutsu, enjoy.

(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.

Simply flow the chidori though your blade. It simply increases cutting and also stabbing someone it will cause their body to go numb.

 

[Zanithe]

One/three advantages:

• 1. The person's body will get numb, giving you another opening to throw another attack.
• 2. It can cut through steel
• 3. It takes away the enemys freedom, making an opening to attack.

One/three disadvantages:

• 1. It is a free flowing technique, a kenjutsu technique can absorb it (aka Kenjutsu: Hiraishin)
• 2. Its chirping sound is loud, so it can't be used as a sneak attack.

How you would use it in battle: When I decide to go Sasuke mode and try soloing my enemy xD, or when the fight starts.

How you would counter it: By using "Kenjutsu: Hiraishin", Chidori Spear, or substitution jutsu.

How you perform it (with as much detail as you can): I grab my sword and hold it with both of my hands. I then try creating Chidori just as how my senpai thought me. I continue flowing the electricity through my blade. After chidori had fully flowed through it, it created a chirping sound. I run to a tree and slash it from my upward right to my downward left. The tree cuts sideward and falls to the ground.

 

[Nathan]

You've completed kenjutsu now. ^_^
