The sky was clear without a cloud in it, the sun shined bright, and there was a calm breeze that flowed thru Saito's hair and fighting Kimono. Saito's swords hung from both sides of this hips. Saito looked up at the height of the walls of the arena and the seat where the audience would sit. The moment was Nostalgic for Saito since it had been a while since he had drawn his blade in battle since he had brought peace to his land. The excitement of wagering his life in battle was something that he missed experiencing. Now he waits for the next victim.
please post bio and turn decision...
Yay!!! I Promise to make this exciting! You get to see me at my best With my Samurai! Saito will be S-class of course.
When the looked before the opponent he was able to notice a figure before himself. It stood facing him wearing robes similar to Saito's. The figure also carried a Katana of his own. He might not be a samurai but it is sure that the mysterious guy was a practitioner of Kenjutsu! Saito blood begin to boil at the thought of trading blows with a fellow swordsman. With the battle in mind Saito recalls his training allowing him to tap into his Zen no Ido. This would give him a slight advantage within the battle. Also knowing he will be fighting a shinobi that is most likely use Genjutsu which all ninja know that Samurai would be Vulnerable to. For that, Saito would bring his Bushido to the fore front of his mind allowing his chakra to take the form of Samurai style plated armor.
(Iaidō: Zen no Idō) - Art of Quick Draw and Re-sheathing the Sword: Moving Zen
Rank: N/A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A (-10 for each iaijutsu performed)
Damage: N/A
Description: Over the years, Samurai had often practiced Iaidō based on the understanding that it is an almost ritualistic form of combat, born from practices that strive to impart the morals of a classical warrior such as building a spiritually harmonious being possessed of high intellect, sensitivity, and resolute will. While this is correct, the root teachings of the art were lost over time; in truth, the purpose of Iai is founded on the principle of being in the psychological state of the present and responding to an attack before striking with speed. Thus, Zen no Idō reintroduces this concept into modern day Iaidoka. This is a skill that is taught to masters of the art who have completed all forms of Iai training and who have maximized their reflexes in regards to drawing and re-sheathing the sword. In essence, after training to increase their proficiency in applying rapid and sudden movements while performing iaijutsu, it allows the Iaidoka to inherently evade incoming techniques within reason while simultaneously executing any Iaidō techniques they use. By fueling more chakra into their movements during the ritual of Iaidō, they can move in any direction at a slightly increased speed (x2, equal to that of Leg Weight speed) prior to or during the use of Iaidō. The limitations are that they may only use this speed to travel in any direction within five meters of their original position, and once the Iaidō technique is complete or stopped, Zen no Idō immediately ceases.
Restrictions:
Note: May only be used by samurai who have attained the rank of Sage (unofficial or official).
Note: Must be posted in the samurai's biography.
Note: No other techniques besides those revolving around Iai can be used while Zen no Idō is active.
Note: This is a passive trait that automatically activates prior to or during the execution of any Iaidō based technique; reserved only for those who hold true mastery over the art (must state Iaidō as a specialization in one's biography), once learned, Zen no Idō comes naturally and without thought, in a manner akin to the Shinobi's Water Walking skill.
( Bushidō ) - Way of the Samurai
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 40 ( -10 per turn )
Damage: +30 to Kenjutsu and Kenjutsu
Description: Samurai quickly learned that Ninjutsu would be a very dangerous weapon, and an incredibly difficult one to combat. But, they soon developed a countermeasure that helped them combat the ever-growing amount of Ninjutsu users: infusing their armor with their own chakra. By releasing their chakra into their armor, Samurai infuse their armor with special properties, protecting against energy based attacks up to 30 damage, and physical jutsu of 40 damage and lower. This works by creating an invisible overshield of chakra around the Samurai’s body, using their chakra to augment their armor to help protect them. Due to the spiritual nature of this technique, harmonizing the Samurai’s life energies with their armor, and bringing the user’s Bushidō to the forefront of their mind, preventing Genjutsu of up to A rank from targeting them. This increase of chakra also augments their physical prowess, doubling their speed and granting a large increase to Kenjutsu and Samurai jutsu. However, upon ending, the Samurai is unable to use Iado and S rank and higher Samurai jutsu that turn and next due to fatigue as well as only two jutsu the turn it ends.
Note: This jutsu lasts 5 turns each use and is capable of being used 3 times.
Note: Only usable by Samurai.

Your Zen no Idou requires you to be at unofficial sage rank, which I guess would translate into Kage rank in the current state of the RP. However, while I may regret this later as I don't know what that technique might do to me later on, I don't mind you using it for this fight xD
Anyway...
Another challenge was laid down at Kenshin, to which he thought was only respectful that he at least show up to meet with his opponent. However, upon meeting up at the designated location, it was more than apparent that he was intent on finishing this fight to the death. His violet eyes swirled into a crimson red as he passively activated his sharingan, keeping watch at the impressive transformation his opponent underwent.

Damage: N/A
Description:
One of the Three Great Dōjutsu (San Daidōjutsu), the Sharingan is the kekkei genkai of the Uchiha clan. Unlike the other Dōjutsu, not all members of the Uchiha Clan possess the Sharingan. This great Dōjutsu seems to awaken only on exceptional Uchiha members and only in times of great stress. Once awaken, the pupil turns red and a single tomoe (巴) seal appears around the center pupil. As the user masters and evolves their eyes, the tomoe (巴) seals increase, topping 3 per eye. The main ability of the Sharingan, like any other Dōjutsu, is to enable the user to see the flow of chakra. This ability is further improved as the Sharingan gives color to chakra, enabling the user to differentiate chakras from different people or from different sources. Although the user can see chakra through matter, he cannot see beyond dense matter or in long distances. Coupled with the ability to see chakra, Sharingan users gain acess to an incredible clarity of perception that enables them to read insanely fast movements or minor details, enabling them the ability to foresee in an easier way, traps, incoming attacks, etc. This clarity of perception is so great that a Sharingan user can sometimes start performing a counter to an attack that is still being performed, enabling the counter to be launched only a split a second after the attack. This clarity of perception leaves Sharingan users able to track high speed movement easily as well as to read through handseals. This last ability enables them to learn techniques much faster and sometimes copy them directly from the enemy, as long as the user has the necessary chakra affinities and requirements to perform it. Finally, the Sharingan is often linked to Genjutsu and mind-manipulating illusions, mostly because the user can, mostly through Eye Contact, directly and precisely use his chakra to manipulate the enemy's chakra flow. In return, the users clarity of perception gives him the ability to more easily decipher visual illusions cast upon him and see past them. The Sharingan has a great cost to the user though. The chakra consumption disables its use for long periods of time and, even when the user grows stronger, it's still hard to keep it active for long periods of time.
Note: The user, if he hasn't gained full mastery over his Sharingan, will need to spend a move to activate it, although as long as he has chakra and enough stamina he'll be able to keep it active until the end of the match. If the user is Sannin Rank or above and has gained his 3 Tomoe Sharingan and held it for one month, he becomes able to passively activate it, meaning he'll no longer spend a move of his 3 per turn.
Note: To avoid direct Eye Contact and be able to focus only on the body movement below the chin, the opponent needs to have mastered Taijutsu to possess the necessary skill
Note: C rank usage is for 1T Sharingan, B rank usage is reserved for 2T Sharingan. A Rank usage is reserved for 3T Sharingan.
Note: Predicting the nature of a technique or what it exactly is requires the user to either know the technique or that its a cannon technique.
Note: Danzo and Kakashi bios activate the Sharingan by removing the covers in their respective eyes and suffer a +10 chakra consumption per turn penalty
Note: The user is bound by the abilities and limits of the stage of sharingan he possesses, stated in the rules of the KG.
Not giving a moment for Kenshin to truly admire the state of his opponent, Saito would release a crescent shape blade of crimson red chakra from his sword. Kenshin's sharingan would clue him into the fact that this attack seemed more ferocious and stronger than it should be, forcing Kenshin to move into a stronger counter than he originally had planned.
Drawing his Katana while channeling chakra through it, Kenshin would seamlessly transition into a leaping whilst spinning rapidly on an upright axis; blade extended parallel to the ground at shoulder height, making it appear as though Kenshin were a rapidly moving saw-blade. This technique had two purposes, the first to slice through the Crimson Crescent and second, the leaping motion would place Kenshin four meters to Saito's left, landing with his sword outstretched to his right. Immediately upon landing, a fiery aura would erupt around Kenshin that would be followed by a twist of his blade, pointing the edge towards Saito, serving to channel the auro onto his blade. This happens before Kenshin rapidly steps back onto his left foot whilst swinging his blade in a falling slash across his body, releasing a powerful, flaming crescent directly at Saito.

Oh you right about that Zen No Ido jutsu. It's Okay then It doesnt matter that I use it or not since Bushido also doubles my speed. Also Samurai has a passive +10 to kenjutsu so each kenjutsu can be strengthened up to 2 ranks stronger.
In response to the strengthened chakra wave was cancelled out by the opponent spinning and slicing thru it like it wet tissue paper before continuing towards Saito. In response, Saito took this moment to quickly taking the quickdraw stance. Saito quickly invokes the samurai sabre technique as the blade is sheathed before quickdrawing and slashing faster than normal eyes would be able to see, as if he never drawn his blade. Doing that would cause a light blue hue to be present before the opponent before the released chakra would take the form of multiple razor sharp blades in the opponent's immediate location up to mid range from Saito's location to quickly slash the opponent multiple times in quick succession all over his body. the technique would hit the opponent the moment he would break past Saito's chakra wave but before he would change his position 4m to the side of Saito.

Type: Offensive
Rank:S-rank
Range:short-mid
Chakra:40
Damage:80
Description: This technique requires mastery of both the Samurai Sabre Technique and the Iado. The user invokes the samurai sabre technique while the Katana is within the scabbard before performing the fastest Iado to the point where it looks as if the sword was never drawn, however, creates a light hue around the opponent before its successful. That allows the samurai to release chakra that creates multiple razor sharp blades of chakra at the opponent's immediate location up to mid range from the user.

I told you not to hold back.
To finish off the opponent, taking advantage of the brief moment of shock from the damage done, Saito molds chakra and focuses it to the point of to the blade of the Tsurugi-ken instead of coating the entire blade. With the vanishing step before the opponent and a thrust of the blade to the opponent's chest, Saito would release all the chakra that he focused on that one point just before he would skewer the opponent to deal extra damage as it would be impaling the opponent. The force of the release of the chakra and the sheer strength of the thrust would send the opponent a few meters away after being impaled in the chest and bleeding out on the ground.
(Kenjutsu: Haridō) - Sword Technique: Art of the Needle
Type: Offensive
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80
Description: This technique employs the use of the Samurai Saber Technique in a more deadly manner. Instead of focusing chakra throughout the whole blade or changing it's shape, the user instead channels a precise amount of strong chakra and releases it all at once from the tip of the sword. The release of chakra is done right before skewering the target area and resembles a needle. Techniques of this type are found to be more effective and accurate with rapier-type swords, which specialize in thrusting rather than striking or slicing. One could compare this technique to jousting.
