[HA] Ronin Kenjutsu

Y'all wild. So Dan will handle the Ronin training, Vayne can handle the Samurai one.
Anyway, I'm not gonna detail their history, I'd just be copying from their thread at that point. Ronin are the counterparts to Samurai, and similarly to them, they utilize swords, but that's where the comparisons stop. Their attacks, rather than dealing physical damage, directly harm the opponents spirit and cause spiritual damage. This is known as Ronin Kenjutsu. This isn't limited purely to just causing spiritual damage though, as it can be used to sever the flow of spiritual energy, which naturally causes an imbalance and prevents chakra from flowing properly and results in other effects. They have a spiritual version of Iaido, and are also spiritual sensors, allowing them to detect techniques that fall under that category, or people. I'll exclude the other stuff as it isn't directly tied to Ronin.

Yeah spot on. Lets jump into their techs then.
( Rōnin Seishin Ken no Jutsu ) – Rōnin Spiritual Blade Technique
Type: Defensive/Offensive/Supplementary
Rank: B - S
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 20 - 40
Damage: 40 - 80
Description: A technique unique to the Rōnin, utilizing similar principles to the Samurai Sabre. The user channels their chakra through their swords and extends the reach and binding ability of the blade. This creates a meter-long spiritual wispy effect around the blade, appearing as if the blade was steaming. Crescent arcs of almost pure spiritual energy are created through the user’s swings. This chakra plays neutrally against all natures and fields. When striking an enemy’s technique, it will target the balance of spiritual and physical energies, disrupting it and dissipating it harmlessly upon overpowering or neutralizing it. S rank usage can only be done 6 times.
Note: Can only be used by Rōnin biographies.
Like with your comparison to samurai, this is their parallel tech to samurai sabre.
This is pretty neat tbh. As it says, it has similar principles to Samurai Sabre tech. So once used, it creates a meter-long wispy effect around the blade that extends it's reach and binding ability. You can create arcs of spiritual energy through swings that can cause opponents techniques to dissipate upon contact. It reaches up to long range as well which is solid, and of course it's neutral to all.
Yes yes
Slice slice
Up next Iaido from Wish.com
( Seishin Iaidō ) – Art of the Spiritual Quick Draw
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Rank: A - Forbidden
Range: Short
Chakra: 30 - 50
Damage: N/A
Description: Spiritual Iaidō is unique to the form of Kenjutsu practiced by Rōnin. Like its physical counterpart, this is a method of quick drawing a blade to strike opponents. This differs from the normal Iaido because it does not only aim to prevent hand seals from being created. Instead, the Spiritual Iaido aims to sever Spiritual connection, used through the formation of a spiritual blade comparable to Ronin Spiritual Blade, allowing the user to form a hilt and blade upon need in for this technique. This also differs in their damage magnitudes; this variant does not deal damage, instead increasing in rank based on how much chakra it limits the opponent from utilizing due to a spiritual imbalance. A rank prevents Forbidden ranked techniques, S rank prevents S rank and higher techniques while Forbidden ranked usage prevents enemies from making hand seals for any A rank and higher technique. S rank and higher effects last a single turn while A rank lasts for 2 turns.
Note: Can only be used by Rōnin biographies. This technique can be used to interrupt more than 1 Handseal at S and Forbidden rank. At A rank, this technique can interrupt more than 2 seals.
Note: A-Rank can be used three times, S-Rank can be used twice, and Forbidden rank can be used once.
Wew, be careful you ain't get caught slipping against this.
So yeah, there's not too much to add to this tbh. It's the spiritual version of Iaido. Unlike the Samurai version, the severs the spiritual connection, preventing certain Ranks from being used. Due to the user forming the hilt and blade whenever they're using it, it can catch people off guard because there's no tell, like holding the sword. Of course, it deals no damage, which is the only downside, but not really lol.

Yeah thats the more "you ain't making future handseals for higher techs" rather than "i'm cutting through your current handseals Hanzo style"
Anyway, onto the actual tech you want:
( Fudōchi Shinmyōroku ) – The Unfettered Mind
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: 40 ( -10 per turn )
Damage: N/A ( +30 to Rōnin Kenjutsu )
Description: Considered by many to be the Rōnin’s ultimate technique, as well as their answer to the Samurai’s Bushidō. The Rōnin will release infuse their body and armor with their spiritual energy, granting them augmented abilities; it appears as an aura of purple energy. This infusion reduces the damage of all spiritual based attacks by 20. While active, the fortified spiritual energy prevents the Rōnin from falling under the influence of illusionary techniques, barring those augmented with Yin Release or cast by the Mangekyou Sharingan. The Rōnin’s Spiritual Kenjutsu are enhanced by 30 additional damage, and they become able to move three times faster than their base speed. Upon ending the Rōnin is unable to utilize Iaido, as well as use Spiritual Kenjutsu higher than A-Rank for a single turn. This technique lasts for 6 turns and can be used three times.
Note: Can only be used by Rōnin biographies.
Huehue, you know it. Rightfully called the ultimate technique lol, not much to add here. It's pretty self explanatory, 20 damage shaving for spiritual attacks, Genjutsu immunity from regular illusions, obviously not counting against Yin infused Gen or MS level. It also boosts the users speed and Spiritual Kenjutsu. Can't hate on this at all.
The fact this shit lasts for six turns each use is kinda wild too on top of everything else. But hey, enjoy it.
With that, here, have Susanoo budget edition:
( Abunai Ashige ) – Dangerous Strike
Type: Offensive/Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80
Description: The user will draw their sword and attack, forming an ethereal arm and sword around his own, comparable to that of Susano’o but much smaller and resembling the user’s own body. This allows the user’s physical arm to pass through the target but the spiritual arm will make contact, cutting through the spiritual energy of a technique or the soul of a target. Due to its purely spiritual nature, not unlike the Doki used by Tayuya, the ethereal sword separates the connection between technique and user. This allows him to sever the connection a spiritual technique has with its caster, effectively ending it. Against Spiritual techniques of equal chakra and lower, this allows the user to effectively end them early. Due to the severing of spiritual energy, the target will suffer spiritual damage as well.
Note: Can only be used by Rōnin biographies.
Note: Can be used three times per battle, once every two turns.
Yeah, it's hella good for sure.
This is also pretty lit, I mean all the Ronin Kenjutsu techniques are nice if we're being honest. You create an ethereal arm and sword around yours, basically like a coating, which makes your hand and sword intangible, allowing it to pass through stuff while the energy around them makes contact, cutting through the spiritual energy of a jutsu or soul of an opponent.

Yeah and severing that connection will end the technique.
( Fudōchi Shinmyōroku: Taiaki ) – The Unfettered Mind: Annals of the Sword Taia
Type: Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: Forbidden
Range: Short – Long
Chakra: 60 ( -20 per turn )
Damage: 120
Description: The user will draw their sword while Fudōchi Shinmyōroku is active. Based on the Rōnin’s Dangerous Strike, the Annals of the Sword Taia forms a complete spiritual ethereal warrior around the user’s body, resembling their own form. This technique is much like Susano’o though with much smaller stature; the body of Taia is the expression of the ultimate spirit, capable of passing through physical targets that would otherwise obstruct a blade and directly strike at the spiritual energy of a technique or target to inflict its damage. In a sense, this technique is simply an extension of the aura formed during the Unfettered Mind. Taia lasts for the remainder of the duration of the Unfettered Mind, though while it is active the user is only able to perform Rōnin Kenjutsu and regular Kenjutsu through their ethereal guardian. The guardian’s damage, while immense, comes at the cost of a move. Usable twice and lasts as long as the remaining time on Unfettered Mind; once this technique expires the user will be unable to use techniques above A-Rank for a single turn.
Note: Can only be used by Rōnin biographies.
Note: Requires the user to have first used The Unfettered Mind.
Big boy tech when you got unfettered mind active, which, I'ma be real, will be active almost all the time.
Pretty nice, and ayy, I won't abuse it, maybe lol.
A technique utilized after activating Unfettered Mind, this basically allows your to create the Ronin equivalent of Susano'o. Again not much to add because it's well explained. This allows strikes to pass through physical targets and attack the spirit directly. You can only use Ronin and regular Kenjutsu through the Ethereal Guardian though, which ain't a big deal to me.

Imagine that saying "Rules were made to be broken" and replace it with "jutsu were made to be abused".
Yeah just stabby stabby susanoo esk style.
Last tech:
( Kuebiko ) - Kuebiko
Type: Supplementary
Rank: Forbidden
Range: Short – Long
Chakra: 60 ( -20 per turn )
Damage: N/A
Description: A restricted skill among the Ronin, Kuebiko invokes the skill of Spirit Mimicry in battle, allowing the user to link their spiritual energy with that of the targets. Initiated alongside another Ronin Kenjutsu technique, this technique creates a 5 meter wave of chakra that accompanies a technique, neither debuffing nor augmenting its power. Instead, this wave of chakra is intended to contact an enemy source of chakra to establish a spiritual link. Once done, this causes a mixing of spiritual energy that allows the user to access it, drawing from the enemy. This allows the user the ability to utilize Ronin Kenjutsu and Techniques with half of the chakra being fueled by the opponent's chakra and not solely his own. This mixture of both allows it to bypass opponent defenses, dealing direct damage to their spirit despite durability levels. Because of the associated cost, the user loses 20 chakra and 10 health each turn this is active, being able to end this voluntarily. This chakra and health loss cannot be mitigated, applying after healing abilities at the end of each turn.
Note: Can only be used by Rōnin biographies and only once per battle.
Note: Can be used as a standalone technique or alongside another Ronin technique, occurring in the same timeframe in the case of the latter.
Gotta be careful in public and that. 
This one is a bit different compared to the others. This allows the user to create a spiritual link with your opponent that let's you use perform techniques with only half the chakra, drawing the other half from their chakra pool. Due to the mixing of the chakra, this allows it to bypass opponents defenses and damage their spirit directly despite damage shaving. You do lose 10 health per turn while this is active though, it can be deactivated whenever you want. Pretty cool that it can be used by itself or alongside others techniques.

Ight thats all the cannon techs. Any questions about the techniques or the field itself? Most is pretty self explanatory.Gotta be careful in public and that.
