[Ken] Playing like sharp things

[Six Paths]

Catching the blade, which Tobirama-Sensei threw at him, Nikodo simply held it up normally as he was waiting for further instructions. Tobirama afterwards went through various handseals, with the final handseal, quaking of the ground followed. Trying to maintain his stance, Nikodo moves sideways a little bit, to prevent him tripping. It started reshaping the terrain until a small hill was created with the Uzumaki on the top Having the skill explained from Tobi, and after 2 clones were created, Nikodo lowered his blade, as it was close to vertically down. Then he simply looked at the clone which was in the footing of the hill just created. With his expression now becoming serious, with the use of his right foot, he pushed himself up, while his blade was still down. As he was moving through the air, the wind was waving through his clothes, and hair, while the headband, was shinning in the bright sun. The gravity did his own job, and started pulling the ninja back to the ground, as the blade now, was fortified by both hands griping it hard, as it was now leading the fall, while the rest of the body was following behind. Both hands grasping the blade, the body went into rotation as the clone was simply gawking at the movements of the Uzumaki. Nikodo, despite spinning was able to clearly see where he will land and as he came close enough, he thrusted the blade inside the head of the clone, the momentum of the fall and the strength, were enough to crack the solid bone and penetrate to the brain, The head of the clone was skewed and as the tip of the blade came out on the other side, the clone, dispersed. It indicated, the demise of the victim as he dispersed simple second later. Getting his body back to position, Nikodo, smashed the blade into the ground, and used it as an anchor-point to direct his legs into the ground too. Getting solid ground, his eyes rise as his vision goes to the clone on top of the hill. Not it was time to change roles, lets see if the Uzumaki's destiny was similar to this clones.

The same movements followed. The clone put the blade straight below him, as he jumped his up, Nikodo was alarmed at that state, as he sheathed his blade back into the guard, lowered his stance and calmed his mind. The body was strengthened while the clone was falling. As it came closer and closer, it went as before in the spinning motion. As he was simply 1 m away from crashing his skull, grabbing the blade with insane speed. With an unsheathing horizontal cut, the ancient art of Batoujutsu, Hitting the blade sideways, pushing the sharp tip far away from harming in any form, as not the blade was simply horizontal, right in the front of the clones falling head. Pushing his forearm forward, the blade went through the clones face, dispersing it as well, as his blade fell on the ground, with the sharp tip, inside the soft grass. As Nikodo slowly picked it up, handing it to the original body.

This technique, is a weird one as it has a lot of very strong and useful possibilities, but still it has very strong and considerate weaknesses. You are spinning at high speed, which can first make you dizzy, you could miss the target, and even if you choose not to spin, you only have one shot, if the enemy is swift enough to get away you have a disadvantage. Another one would be that in mid air, the enemy might reply with projectile weapons or jutsu, which you can't dodge in any form. And the last one is that if you block the weapon and push it away, like I have just now, you will get the enemy full open to any kind of attack you can possibly imagine.

"Oh, your first misinterpretation. Now, the technique describes it as drilling, but despite a drill traditionally spinning, in this context, it is used as a way to describe how it is used offensively: By pushing the pointed tip of the blade into the enemies skulls. Perhaps it was the wording, but nevertheless, you did a great job. Just remember that it is simply pushing the blade down the enemy's skull, not literally spinning. Oh, your counter was really good by the way. If you push it off to the side with the blade, you are free to use the blade in multiple ways, such as slashing through their limbs as they are falling, or simply moving on with an entirely new combination."
"Let's continue." Tobirama returned the ground to its original state. She then disappears, and a few minutes later, reappears with a whole new set of training dummies. "Wow, we ran out so quickly. Okay, so the next technique is based more on taijutsu rather than kenjutsu, but because it requires a part of the sword, it is listed as kenjutsu." She planted the training dummy five meters from the student, and then, pointed at the hilt of the sword. "Deliver a strike through this. This strike can be done horizontally, by holding your sword in an opposite direction and striking the enemy's, for example, head with the hilt of it. Because it is just the hilt, the damage is focused on the blunt force rather than cutting capabilities. Once you're done, deliver some kicks and punches that are mainly aimed upwards, like an uppercut with the intent of pushing the enemy's body up in the air and away from their current location. Once they are mid-air, punch the target in any location you wish. Please perform it on the training dummy, and describe the environment this would work well. (For example, a cave, so the enemy can be pushed back to the walls). What are the disadvantages and advantages to this technique?"

A misinterpretation, I relied on the full meaning of the word drilling, which is generally connected to spinning and not really simply thrusting. I will try to keep the errors as narrow as possible from now on .

---

Positioning his right hand on the neck and snapping it once, he was hearing the words the teacher had to say. After transforming a few times in a woman and back into a man, Nikodo now was used to that and knew this was an issue that Sensei had even before. So as the dummies were once again positioned Nikodo first and foremost, took the blade out, and threw it aside. This technique relies just on force and speed, not real cutting powers. As he got close enough to the dummy he simply reached for his left, grabbing the hard sheathe, he simply pulls it out of the strap of leader in his left waist. As it travels, it makes contact with the clone hitting it hard in the right side, which would equate to being the rib area of an actual person. Simply releasing the grip, his left hand now which is a straight palm with the front fingers bent ones, continues traveling up, as the sheathe is falling down. The moment the sheathe hit the ground, the palm connected with the chin area of the dummy, slightly bringing up in the air. As the left hand, was already charged into a fist, with the elbow area bend, the punch traveled with the fingers facing up, and hitting the center of the dummies body, which would be the chest area. As the dummy was slowly being lifted up, he made a slight separation with the ground with his right leg, supporting his weight on the left one, following it up, with a kick on his quadriceps which further lifted the dummy up, as it was high enough, he pulled his right leg right back down, positioning it right behind the left leg, as he made the position of the legs larger, creating a better stability and he followed with pulling his right hand back, condensing it to a punch, as it was in the same level with his face and pulled back so fully charged. As the dummy fell a little down, his eyes spark a little as he accelerated with the extended punch, rotating his shoulder and sliding his right leg forward as well, hitting the dummy right in the center, as the crack from the wood is heard, dashing forward into a tree where it smashed right into. Getting into ready position, he grabbed his hilt and his blade, putting the blade inside it, and waiting for the clone of the pretty woman, or hideous sensei to attack. Whoever was present this time around.

The clone was now present, and it would follow the same principle. It began with grabbing the hilt of the blade, and as before, he simply aimed for a round attack, which would hit Nikodo's right side. As his eyes were locked at the movements of the hands, he simply skit his right leg back, as he pulled his whole body down by bending his knees fully. Evading the full power attack around, as it was an attack which used the general body, the full center of it, was now exposed. Nikodo simply, using his right leg as a spring mechanism, pushed himself from the ground, right into the center of the clone. Bringing it right into the ground, causing the clone to lose the hilt from the attack, and possibly break something or cause pain for a while after that strong attack. Getting up once again, he explained everything he could about the technique.

So you ask me how the environment will come to help. Let us think that you are close to a cliff, or close to a river with very strong current's. If the enemy is facing you and behind him is the so said environment, you will lift him up with punches and kicks and then throw him either of, or into the ,what now will be, his last location. Another good usage would be as you said in a cave, with maybe very sharp spikes, you could send him up and cause him to first crash on the stalactites and then as he falls down, push him back, towards a very tough wall. So, it is very important to take the environment into consideration as well.

Advantages to this technique would be that it is pretty darn quick. If you are just gonna hit him with a sheathe and the punch him to death, it will be pretty hard to dodge. Another advantage is that you can use various kinds of other techniques to incorporate it, like ring him higher up with taijutsu, leave him in the sky and reply with any kind of projectile ninjutsu, or even weapons as in mid air it is hard to dodge. And a last one would be you could even use the environment perfectly in your favor.

Disadvantages to this technique would be that this jutsu has one big starting point at that is the hit from the sheathe. if that is dodged, or blocked or avoided he will be able to fully counter or negate the technique. Another huge disadvantage would be that as you are kicking him up, he could get away using a wind technique, to escape. And another one is, that if he will use a kunai or a blade while you are kicking him, he can damage your limbs severely. And another one would be that if he is wearing an armor, he might not feel full impact.

You put sumy instead of dummy somewhere in that wall of text, lol. Nice details btw.

"Ah nice, and because you are using the hilt of a blade, it would be hard to reposition your blade in a desirable way if the enemy were to whip out a blade of his own and engage in a kenjutsu battle. Nicely done, let's continue." Tobirama Senju appeared, permanently, i hope. He whips out his iconic Sword of the Thunder God and presented it to his student as he channels chakra to it. "Ah, i assume you know the basics of chakra control... Channel normal chakra and shape it around the blade of the sword. Deliver a slash coming from below and rising above, with enough force behind it to launch the enemy in air. Once done, I'd like you to jump higher, above the target in fact, and impale the target with the same sword. This, of course, is enhanced with chakra making it more deadly than normal attacks. Please perform it, then counter it later on." A clone is then summoned with its own sword, who would attempt to impale you after you perform it on him.

As Tobirama judged the technique Nikodo used, he was simply hearing out his teacher giving his final thoughts about the technique before explaining the new one. Hearing closely to every word sensei had, he simply nodded as he was actually embracing and appreciating all the advices. Sensei was smart even though Nikodo was not sure about his real gender. As the time for the next technique came, his sensei pressed a sword in the hands of the Uzumaki. It was just the hilt of a normal blade without the actual cutting part. As sensei started talking about basic chakra control, it directly snapped into the Uzumaki's brain. This must have been a chakra blade, which could have the same effect as other chakra weapons. So upon charging chakra into it, the blade popped out, glowing in yellow, emitting light. As the blade was grasped by the right hand, he simply turned towards the dummy. As he lowered his normal stance. As he was very close to the dummy in blade reach, he lowered his right hand and turned it behind him, as the left hand was simply up forward.

At a sudden second, Nikodo pulled forward to the dummy as he accelerated his blade from the position to hit the dummy right in the center of the body, but slightly of angle so that the blade wouldn't simply cut through, but even give a hard enough push to lift him in the air. As the wood went up (Get it? Get it?)Nikodo gave a huge push from the ground as he became airborne following the dummy, but the force of him pushing up was greater than the force pushing the clone up, thereby he traveled a lot faster and higher up. And right from up, Nikodo held the blade with the right hand around it, and the left one's palm holding the end of the hilt as he drove the blade right through the dummy as they were falling down. Crash landing, the blade was still inside it, as Nikodo was above it with the legs around the body of the dummy. Pulling the blade from it, he simply threw the blade towards the clone, having the original blade disappear until it landed on the clone when it popped up again. Come to think of it, tobirama actually looked good with the blade.

As it was time for the attack to be repeated, Nikodo grabbed the normal Katana in his hilt as he got into position along with the clone. As they both were close, the clone pulled up pretty much the same idea and started accelerating his right hand holding the blade for a quick hit. As the move was similar to what the Uzumaki did, what Nikodo would naturally do now, was was the blade travels, he quickly pulled out his blade and aimed for not the blade itself as it would shatter through the katana, but the hilt, where the hand was grabbing it. Hitting the hilt with the beginning of the blade, the hand of the clone was damaged while the normal cutting edge wouldn't even reach him, cutting through the hand, naturally the user would drop it as the clone did. As the blade fell, the thunder deactivated while Nikodo simply used his chance to run the blade through the clone, as it dispersed.

 

[Edward]

"I liked the way you approached the defense... Hitting the hilt along with the hand is quite creative." Tobirama takes out several training dummies from his ninja pouch and plants them on the ground, directly in front of the student. "This next one incorporates chakra similar to the last. Practice cresent shaped slices on the training dummies before you. Make sure you add force and precision with speed as well. It might amaze you to know that this technique is not exactly CQC, unlike most Kenjutsu abilities. Once you've learned how to fluidly swing the blade in a cresent shape, I'd like you to move meters away, about ten from the training dummy. Perform the cresent-shaped slice in air whilst channeling chakra onto it. Use the force of the swing to release the chakra in the form of a red chakra wave, which should deal similar slicing damage like how a sword would. Perform it, defend against it, and give me disadvantages!"

Hearing out everything that his teacher had to say, sure the next technique hit him with surprise. Usually associated with closed ranged combat, this kenjutsu technique, broke the set rules in his imagination. Excited to try out the next technique, his eyes were shining bright, with flames of enthusiasm to learn more and more. Getting the blade in his hands, and turning to simple nothing, he made an unsheathing cut. The blade cut through the air, as the sun rays reflect on it. Sheathing it back in, he repeated it. The motions were fluid as he was starting to getting used to the cut. Being confident that he now knows how it is done, he faced the dummy as he was in the right distance already. As the blade was sheathed yet again. He slowly took it out, as his expression was full fletched serious and focused. His right hand reached for the hilt, as the left one was holding the wooden guard. The blade made the hard metal clicking noise, as the habaki disconnected from the sheathe. The blade was slowly lifted upwards, close to the face, hiding his left eye, as the right one was focused at the dummy. The tip of the blade was finally free of control. Pulling the blade to the right, with the cutting edge pointed up, the left hand released the sheathe and put itself out of the way. With the blade tightly grabbed his position was low, as his breath was calm and rhythmic. The soft winds southend through the grass as it his his hair, signaling something., His eyes widen, as his breath stopped. For a second his heartbeat was not being heard. As the grip on the blade became tough, all the veins and knuckles became visible. As with force, and the use of chakra throughout the blade. The swing was in the shape of a crescent moon, as the blade midway through, released a red form of chakra, which at high speed omitted through the air, cutting through the wind, the tips of the fine grass was leveled, while the attack slashed right through the dummy. The debris of the wood, explodes sideways, as in the body of the dummy. Nothing else but a large diagonal slash was visible. From left up to right down, if it was a human, that deep wound would have been enough to give you a certain kill.

The jutsu was finished as the blade was sheathed. But the cross handseal of Tobirama, gave Nikodo a sign, and it was the sign to prepare. Sheathing his blade back, he was simply gazing at the nothingness. But within a short matter of seconds, white smoke appeared out of nowhere, giving birth to an exact copy of Tobirama. The same procedures were held just as before. Getting into a comfortable decision, the clone was grabbing the blade as the uzumaki, lowered his stance. He grabbed the sheathe with his left hand, as he held it in position despite being lower. The end of the wooden guard would pop up behind while his right hand was in front of the blade, close to the hilt. Charging chakra in his lungs, he simply waited for the clone to take action. As the clone repeated the moves, the blade was swung with the fire red chakra dashing through the field. His head lifts up, as he pulled the blade, while with his mouth, he released wind chakra simultaneously. The wind blade was fully cloaked, as the moment, the red chakra stream made contact with it. The crimson chakra split in half, destroying the wind along with it, while the Uzumaki was unphased. Sheathing his blade one final time, he looked at his shishou, to explain the disadvantages?

Disadvantages for this technique would be a few. If you think about it, it is raw chakra, while neutral to every element it is a narrow slice, so if you attack a sharingan user, he can evade or block it. Another one which is worth mentioning, would be that the attack is done mostly for everything in mid range, while normally as you fight with swords the enemy will be too close not allowing you to make a full blade swing. Another one is that this technique could be blocked or even overpowered by other projectile blade based attacks, mostly wind of course.

"Great. Though one concern, a hit wouldn't be a certain kill, but it would surely result in loss of limbs, or excessive bleeding, depending on the target and area hit. Let's continue!" As he spoke, Tobirama summoned a boulder in front of the student. "Yes, you may be surprised to learn that I have the boulder Summoning contract, and no, you may not sign such a godly work of art.... He will be our training dummy. You do know of the lightning element, correct? Channel lightning chakra into the blade and manipulate it to mimic the properties of chidori; basically, you are channeling a chidori into a katana. The chirping and radiating colors of the chidori is present in the weapon and its power is enough to cut through steel, within logic and elemental strengths and weaknesses, of course. The power of it is similar to chidori, where it can cause numbing and take away ones' freedom of movement. Now, i'd like you to perform it to the boulder and give me advantages, disadvantages, and usages! Questions if you have any, of course."

Prehending the blade in his right hand, he simply threw a glance up as he saw that the boulder was summoned. About to ask his teacher with enthusiasm about this god like summon, Tobirama denied his request. So he simply decided to hear him out waiting or the explanation of this technique. As the giant boulder was before him, Nikodo lifted his blade up, as it was nearly straight up. And closing his eyes he channeled in his dominant hand, lightning chakra. The same concept of chidori was once again used, but this time, not traveling through only the hand, but the whole blade. The cold steel started glowing. The katana was slowly making the noises of chirping birds, as the lightning sparks were showing around. Some of them vanishing in the thin air, some of them them connecting into a blade making a lightning connection. The lightning will now not only serve the blade with power, will even make it more lethal. Testing the power out, his eyes open in seconds as they widen. With a strong thrust right down, the sword seemed like it was able to go through the rock not phase it at all, but after a slight second, a bright line was shown. The rock split in half, as the line of the cut was perfectly straight. This would demonstrate that no matter how thick an armour would be, this sword will cut through it.

Having the clone now set ready in the battlefield now, the Uzumaki grabbed the blade as the clone was now using roughly the same principle. Charging lightning chakra into the blade, the clone was able to mimic this technique. As the clone then simply was ready to swing it towards the Uzumaki the blade accelerated from the clones right towards the left side of Nikodo. Nikodo's eyes narrow, as the grip in the blade tightens. As the wind rushed through everything seemed to have become quiet. The birds were not heard, as the heart beat slowly accelerates while the blade gets closer. The wind blade then was lifted up at top speed, as he infused it with wind chakra. The wind, an element which can stop the rage and strength of lighting was perfect in this case. The chakra infused blade was released fast from the mouth cloaking it, as they clash. The raging force of the wind, destroyed the lightning and sliced through the blade. Stopping the motion, the clone was defenseless, and now everything can to an end.

Advantages to this technique would be the fact that for once this technique has no real need for handseals so you just charge chakra into it and you get an a lot stronger power. Another advantage would be that this technique will show dominance over any other kind of blade no matter what kind of material it is made, unless it is rubber. Another one is that you can infuse the lightning in the last second to make it less obvious, right in the moment as you swing, you can easily increase the lethality of the blade.

Disadvantages to this technique would be that this technique will have things which give it away. The unusual glow, and the sound it makes. You can clearly see it is lightning powered so the enemy will either counter it with the same attack or like in my case with a wind blade and win through it. Another disadvantage would be that this technique would be that it is only limited to the reach and power of the blade.

I would use this technique in many cases, one of them would be when I am in a kenjutsu battle and I feel like I need more power. Another good usage would be to go against other chakra infused attacks like projectile raw chakra swings. Another good usage is to rip through many samurai like Sasuke did.

"Perfect." Tobirama complimented, as he performs yet another series of hand seals to summon forth Rocka, the Queen of Rocks. "Take the same blade and channel chakra into it yet again. It takes the form of raw, blue, chakra, making it glow blue. Now, with momentum and strength in your jump, I'd like you to take off and jump into the air whilst beginning a spin, with your chakra-enhanced sword pointed outwards, like a unicorn. The spinning motion as well as your forward momentum should have a drilling effect. Perform it on Rocka, and I shall perform it on you after. How would you defend against this technique, and what are its disadvantages?"

Apologies for late reply.

---

Grabbing the blade tight, I hold it close to my body, with the edge facing forward and the arm bent inwards. I close my eyes, as I begin to send out raw chakra towards this blade. The calm stature found himself getting done fairly fast, as the blade of chakra, filled with the raw energy began glowing. Opening my eyes, everything I see before me is Rocka, the queen summon. This cold hard rock had nothing but a hard future behind it....it's a rock after all....but what I really meant was death. You know...Anyway, as the chakra is gathered and the blade glowing, I hold the rest of the hilt with my other hand, as my fingers go around it. Jumping high, I give my body a certain twist with my right leg. The rotation kept on increasing, till I reach the highest point. As then, I force my body down, with the lep of gravity, I speed up towards the piece of rock, as the tip of the blade, is sinking in. The rotation gave of a catastrophic effect and it continued going deeper and deeper. The rock was shattering all around, until it is totally destroyed. Rocka was not dead....or gave birth to many rockies....Ending the attack, I stand once again firm and proud and a little dizzy from the attack.

Seeing how the clone grabbed the blade as well, I lock my eyes at him, till he plans to act. As his blade started glowing blue, I grab my blade even more tight, sending lightning chakra to it. As the clone jumped up, and arced towards me, I position the blade in my left side, holding it with my right hand. The clone was falling down, straight to the face, as the blade came close enough for me to see my reflection on it, I dash the blade of lightning, pushing it off sideways. The blade moved towards my right, not even phasing me, while my lightning powered sword, stopped right at the position the clone will fall do. Simply extending my hand forward I stab the clone through the forehead which caused it to disperse.

As you saw, to defend I would use a very basic method of pushing the blade away. As you are spinning you can't see everything clearly, so I could very calmly use this chance to push the blade away from me, and use the falling body of the enemy to stab him to death. If you ask me not a huge problem. There are of course other ways too. Like blowing him away, using an earth pillar, or a shield....f you are into those things.

Disadvantages to this technique is that you will feel a certain amount of dizziness when you use it. Another one would eb the glowing blade, so if you are planning to use the darkness it will not really work out. And another one is that you will look like a unicorn making people think you are a Brony!

Friendship is Magic!!

"This one is rather interesting. It is more of a supplementary technique, which is unlikely for a Kenjutsu technique. You basically channel lightning chakra into your blade, pointing it out to the direction of the assault, and using that lightning chakra to 'absorb' the opposing lightning technique. The lightning technique 'absorbed' travels through you, while not harming you, and is dispelled and nullified. It only works on free flowing lightning techniques, Like chidori current, so anything shaped lightning techniques would not work...."
Tobirama walks to the student and says, "I'm going to release an unfocused form of lightning soon. Perform the technique, and if you fail, you'll end up paralyzed." He then performs Nagashi, releasing an omnidirectional current of lightning. As he performs it, he says, "Give me advantages and disadvantages after!"

However this only works on free flowing lightning based techniques such as the Chidori current and not on focused lightning based techniques

 

[Six Paths]

Seeing how the technique was explained, Nikodo simply pointed with his blade towards Tobirama grabbing his right forearm with the left hand as he charged chakra inside his hand. Seeing this chakra toward the blade, he waited for Tobirama to finally attack. As the unfocused stream was released, the blade of lightning almost pulled everything towards it, as the omnidirectional blade was sticking close to the cold steel. The lightning continued travelling along the blade as it went forwards his arm, inside his body towards the other side. Keeping his eyes closed showing a concentrated face, while slowly biting his under lip, the lightning didn't have any other effect, it was dissipated fully.

Advantages to this technique would be that you could easily dodge lightning attacks which are in an unshaped manner, so lightning waves, or bolts will be easily stopped. Another one is that it has no sorts of seals, or looks that this technique will be enough to stop a lightning attack. It will actually make the enemy believe that you are going to be hit, giving him a miss thought about something very specific.

Disadvantages is that focused lightning attacks, like those formed into something greater with chakra control will not be stopped by the attack no matter what you would try. Another one would be that this technique, if not used carefully, could lead to your doom, actually sending the lightning inside your own body and paralyze or even kill you.
