[Ken] Samurai Training

[Excālibur1]

Rikuo widens the gap between his feet by placing his right foot slightly forward and his left foot slightly backwards so as to gain balance. Rikuo then slightly turns his hip towards the left so that he can draw the sword with highest speed. He places his left hand on the scabbard of the sword and slowly slides his up until his thumb finger can touch the handle of the sword. Rikuo then slowly pushes up the handle so that the sword would be slightly out of it's scabbard. Utilizing his right hand, Rikuo grabs the sword and pulls it out of the scabbard at a very high speed and swings it up while letting go of his left hand off the scabbard so that he can catch the sword with both hands. Once both of the hands are catching the handle, Rikuo brings it down right in the center of the bamboo cane, splitting it in exact half. He then flicks the sword to the right side as if he was removing the 'blood' on the sword and catches it in reverse blade style. Rikuo then slowly puts back the sword into the scabbard.

Cool. Thanks!

Just the question which I asked via Skype... When utilizing Chakra Sabre, would the chakra burst take up as a turn? And also, if I destroy an A-Rank technique with the chakra saber but without releasing it, would the chakra disappear? Like I have to re-use the chakra sabre tech again?

Chakra Burst as in releasing as a wave of chakra? To my knowledge not it wont take up a move but some people might rule against it so ask a moderator to be 100% on that seeing how times has changed. When using chakra saber as it is no you dont need to. The technique remains active so as long as you keep constant contact with your sword and also not using it as a full projectile. The reasoning from my point of view that it requires chakra flow which is the constant channeling of chakra into a weapon. Once you have the weapon's technique active you dont need to reactivate it as you counter. When you use it to counter ninjutsu you're pretty much cutting the technique and using the neutral nature of the chakra to unbalance the attack. So if you slash through a Golem's arm the technique isnt "fully" destroyed as it still has chakra surging in it so it would make sense to counter it and freeform slash the rest of it away quickly. A neat combo I made up is Absolute Inscription + Samurai Saber which I think I told you about. Simply channel chakra into the blade prior to a Iaido and then quick draw it while extending the blade. You have a long ranged 180 slash coming at the enemy at speeds near the 4th gate-5th gate at your rank(check speed charts as Iaido at Kage needs Sharingan 3rd tomoe to keep track of the blade)
