You linked me my app. >_>

Castiel walks up to the training field, he sees the young boy standing there. Castiel then stops once he is close enough to the boy and then proceeds to say: "Hello, my name is Castiel; you can call me either Castiel, or sensei. Up to you. But first what is your name?"

Folding his arms while grabbing his chin with his left hand Benn eyes the wise shinobi before replying

"Kenjutsu. Right. Kenjutsu is loosely translated to the technique or method of the sword. An art developed by feudal samurai, Kenjutsu users or Kenjutsuka rely on the ground, sources of light and the capabilities of their opponent before proceeding into an attack. From my own experience watching Kenjutsuka Shinobi, alot of studying is done before making brave decisions within short periods of time within battle. A great deal for one who lacks the mental capability to think fast and rationally.

Benn's eyes widen as he looks at Castiel.


Oh, I'm sorry sensei.

My reasons for learning it honestly, I like the feel of the sword in my palms. Someday I'd love to find the perfect sword(s) for my arsenal. Something light and mid ranged in strike distance. My goal is to better my form in Kenjutsu and even master it. Then study deeper into taijutsu so that I may blend the two for close to mid range combative combination maneuvers with an added far range from using my weapon as a projectile if and when needed.

I could say my inspirations would be the cloud village Killer bee or the leaf village Uchiha Sasuke mixed with the taijutsu haste of the 4th hokage.

"Good, I like that, I like that a lot.

Okay now I want you to attack my clone using your blade, I want you to explain to me while attacking my clone, how you want to go about it, remember to attack him, use creative moves and stances, I need you to be as detailed as you can, like you're trying to kill my clone. GO!"

"Hai Castiel Sensei!

Benn replies as he leaps back as far as he could. Once he lands Benn crouches down while holding his blades hilt. He closes his eyes briefly. As he re opens them, he begins pursuit with his eyes dead on the clone.

"Distractions Sensei! Distractions! I'd like to have my opponents eyes on more then me so..."

Benn performs a short series of hand seals before a single cloud of smoke reveals a clone along side his pursuit.

(Bunshin No Jutsu) - Clone Technique
Rank:E
Type:Supplementary
Range:Short
Chakra Cost:5
Damage Points:N/A
Description:A clone made of the user that can move but(cannot use any jutsu)This clone is merely an illusionary projection of the user.
Note:The clone jutsu can be made with different elements and is a D-Rank jutsu under its own element(Mizu/Water Tsuchi/Earth Sumi/Ink)

"As you see, I'm doing what any Kenjutsuka would, size up my opponent after familiarizing myself with the area by creating enough distance to study it as I go. I personally like to mix it up.*pants*....*pants* I find it benificial to mess with someones head during a pursuit. "


As they run, Benn crosses paths with his clone several times, both he and clones hand on hilt.


"So I'll use this technique next, using my clone as a target"

When his clone and himself draws nearest Castiel's clone, Benn forms one more seal targeting his own clone as quick as he could allowing his clone to mimic the seal before Benn again crosses paths with his clone once more from the left, revealing nothing to cross from the clones right side.


(Bikoku Ninjutsu) - Shadow Stealth Technique
Rank:E
Type:Supplementary
Range:Short
Chakra Cost:5
Damage Points:N/A
Description:This jutsu lets the user follow the target covert by concealing the users presence.

Benn's clone then leaps up with hand on hilt towards his sensei's clone. It's only objective being taking the hits if need be. Clone Benn reaches his jump peak.

Here I come!

As it begins to descend onward toward the opposite clone, Benn himself is revealed as he ascends higher over his descending clone.


Both Benn and Clone hands on hilt, Benn unsheathes his blade (not the clone) and begins a somersault over the clone with his blade extended just above his head as he spins. Attempting to strike Castiel's clone in the mix with 3-5 good overhead slices if contact is made.

That, that was impressive. Holy shit.

Good usage of the E-ranks. Well done.

So techniques time, but first what would you like to use the first method, or the template?

So idea is simple, I will post the techniques and I will ask you to analyse them for me, for example: how to use it in battle, how to counter it, what is good about this technique (pros), what is bad about it (cons), what you like about it and etc. I think you pretty much get what I mean. The "How to perform" - part is a bit, not needed for, but you are more than welcome to perform it, if you don't understand the technique. It's better if we focus on the important things, like actually analysing the whole technique and knowing how to use it in a fight. Only filling the template is boring and sometimes not fun. I want to make this training as enjoyable as I can, I know templates can be boring and dull at times.

Something below are basic guidelines to use:

Example of points for every technique
+ How to be used in a battle
+ How to be countered in a battle
+ Some advantages and disadvantages
+ Your personal opinion about the technique

Do you have any questions about method?

Or you can chose to use this template:

PHP:
[CODE][B]One/three advantages:[/B]
[LIST]
[*]1. 
[*]2.
[*]3.
[*]
[/LIST]
[B]One/three disadvantages:[/B]
[LIST]
[*]1. 
[*]2.
[*]3.
[*]
[/LIST]
[B]How you would use it in battle:[/B]
[B]How you would counter it:[/B]
[B]How you perform it (with as much detail as you can):[/B][/CODE]
Your choice. ^^

I'm willing to do the template. If you want we can switch it up from here to there...
I think I understand what you''d like me to do.

So basically. Your gonna display an technique, And I have to either describe the things in the template with the template or using the clone method we used for my E-Rank display.

Right?

Yeah pretty much.

I'll post the first technique now:

(Ken Rendan no Jutsu) - Sword Barrage Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 25
Description: With this technique, the user will make a sequence of slashes with their sword and finishes with a powerful final slash dealing liberal damage to their enemy.

Pretty much all you have to do is, get in close and take out your sword, deal about 5 or so slashes in any direction on your targets body; once you have completed and dealt the slashes, deal a powerful final slash where ever you want, I would personally use the make the final strike down the middle of his body.

Benn nods before sizing up his target. He steps back several feet to gain some distance before quickly deciphers a plans.


One/three advantages:
  • 1. If successful, sword will cut opponent
  • 2. Several strikes once connected
  • 3. Last hit can be used to create distance.
One/three disadvantages:
  • 1. Can be countered if seen comming.
  • 2. If countered, your in close range.
  • 3. With a sword/swords in your hand, handseals will be slower if not impossible.
How you would use it in battle: In conjunction with another jutsu to better disguise myself before use.
How you would counter it:
I would sit in wait for the opponent. When I sense or feel the slightest presence I'd do something like this
You must be registered for see images

From here its me betting against my opponents Kenjutsu speed. If I get hit I get hit. If my blade feels the slightest pressure from opposing direction at which it swings. I will do my best to instantly swing against the pressure to either break through the power of the opponents swing, or go into a power struggle. One of the many reasons I want to learn one handed hand sealing.
How you perform it (with as much detail as you can):

Benn stands in wait before suddenly raising his hands to perform a jutsu.


(Bikoku Ninjutsu) - Shadow Stealth Technique
Rank:E
Type:Supplementary
Range:Short
Chakra Cost:5
Damage Points:N/A
Description:This jutsu lets the user follow the target covert by concealing the users presence.
After forming the proper seals and targeting the clone, he thinks **Perfect jutsu for whats coming.**

Once his first technique is set, he quickly begins the next.

"I would start off again with a diversion. If I'm gonna be getting so close to a target. I wanna be damn near invisible."

He forms the final seal and begin raising his right hand into the air, his eyes wide as if something was pushing through his body. He opens his mouth

(Kirigakure No Jutsu) - Hidding in Mist Jutsu
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: N/A
Description: This displacement technique creates a thick mist to spring forth by lifting up some water from either a pre-existing source or expelled from their mouth, then goes in and out of sight at will from within the pearly-white realm. The mist's thickness is controlled by the amount of chakra kneaded into it. It can't fool the Byakugan, but, due to the mist being created with the user's chakra, any Sharingan and Rinnegan-user will see the mist coloured by their opponent's chakra, which will effectively hide the user from the dōjutsu.
Note: Can be created through releasing from mouth or manipulating a nearby water source.

...for this technique, gather your water chakra and release it into the water to raise up a thick mist coated with your chakra that makes it difficult to see through...

releasing a thick cloud of mist, growing thicker as his right hand reaches nearest its highest point.

As the mist begins surrounding the area, Benn is engulfed within it. Vanished beneath its presence, only to be seen as a shadow when close.

A silence takes over the area. Clone Castiel and Benn engulfed within the mist until *K'ching K'ching ching ching*
Four slices. Benn enters from the clones left with his blades hilt in his right hand as it lays against his chest. He pushes the blade outward as he lands passing the clone from left to right, landing half a foot passed the clone, striking it across the upper chest plates as he passes.

He then pushes off his right foot horizontally spinning backward with his hilt again in his right hand as he lands in front of the clone slashing it once from left waist to right shoulder then in reverse from right shoulder to left waist.

Spin description
You must be registered for see images

Like this but as you see Link spins from right to left. Where as I spin in the opposite direction.

Benn then rotates the blades hilt in his palm in a way that it's dull end runs along his forearm and begins spinning with his forearm held outward landing two spinning katana strikes before ending with a power shoulder then blade hilt thrust into the clone leaning all of his weight into the thrust to land the final devastating blow. One that would smash into a foe and push them off they're feet if not able to withstand the force of the thrust.

Oh I made a mistake, no you only have to perform the technique you are learning at hand, sorry. My bad. Though that being said you are welcome to do it this way if you'd like?

Next:

(Ikari Nomikomu no Jutsu) - Fury Swallow Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 25
Description: The user punches the opponent a few times and finishes them with two final slashes with their blade or sword.

Go towards your target and perform a simple forward punch and repeat the punching for a few times, then once you have completed that, grab out your sword and perform two slashes anyway you want, at your target. This technique is simple yet effective for such a low ranked technique, and can be used in many combos.

[LIST][*]1. Good balance of Kenjutsu and Taijutsu [*]2.  [*]3.[*][/LIST]
[B]One/three disadvantages:[/B]
[LIST][*]1. Leaves you open if countered [*]2. Close range if your countered[*]3.[*]Kawarimi no Jutsu? Jeez.[/LIST]
[B]How you would use it in battle:[/B] I'd probably rush the target and do a 360 spin of the blades hilt in my palm before flinging it into the sky as I get within range. I'd continue till I reach the target then lean in and throw short upper cuts boxing style. As the blade falls I'd do a quick spin as I jump and grab it, using the spin to add momentum to the blades strike.

[B]How you would counter it:[/B] Jump as the draw near. I'd jump over there head as soon as they land, get in within distance. Trying to avoid it.

[B]How you perform it (with as much detail as you can):[/B]
I'd start off with the clone jutsu stealth jutsu first as I did before. Finish that post with Kirigakure No Jutsu during my pursuit of the target with me and my clone crossing paths. And as the mist settles in and my turn comes. I perform Ikari Nomikomu No Jutsu as said above, ending it with the final blade strike and continuing it into Ken Rendan no Jutsu for a sick combo.

Example:
Benn creates a single clone.



(Bunshin No Jutsu) - Clone Technique
Rank:E
Type:Supplementary
Range:Short
Chakra Cost:5
Damage Points:N/A
Description:A clone made of the user that can move but(cannot use any jutsu)This clone is merely an illusionary projection of the user.
Note:The clone jutsu can be made with different elements and is a D-Rank jutsu under its own element(Mizu/Water Tsuchi/Earth Sumi/Ink)


He and his clone begin his "cross formation" as he now labeled it,crossing paths in pursuit of the target as Benn forms more hand seals.

They begins to circle the target. Mist pouring from Benn's mouth as he runs, he wields the final sign of Kirigakure No Jutsu.



(Kirigakure No Jutsu) - Hidding in Mist Jutsu
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: N/A
Description: This displacement technique creates a thick mist to spring forth by lifting up some water from either a pre-existing source or expelled from their mouth, then goes in and out of sight at will from within the pearly-white realm. The mist's thickness is controlled by the amount of chakra kneaded into it. It can't fool the Byakugan, but, due to the mist being created with the user's chakra, any Sharingan and Rinnegan-user will see the mist coloured by their opponent's chakra, which will effectively hide the user from the dōjutsu.
Note: Can be created through releasing from mouth or manipulating a nearby water source.


To further seal the targets fate. Benn attempts one last justu.


(Gokan Sakusou) - 5 Senses Confusion Disorder
Rank:E
Type:Supplementary
Range:Short
Chakra Cost:N/A
Damage Points:N/A
The user throws an explosive kunai at their target and the mist spreads threw the air.This jutsu causes the opponent to be hit by attacks even though they think they dodged it or countered it.This effect lasts for 2 turns.


Next turn

Benn and clone rotate around the target (If available) until the finally stop, one behind and one in front of the target.
They equally rush in, grab they're hilt and begins twirling the're swords in the palm of the're hands before allowing the swords hilt to fling the blade up into the sky, seconds before reaching the target. They get close and leans forward, Benn aiming to throw one impacting straight forward jab to the abdomen, leading the chain of the punch combo.


(Ikari Nomikomu no Jutsu) - Fury Swallow Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 25
Description: The user punches the opponent a few times and finishes them with two final slashes with their blade or sword.

As the jab connects Benn begins throwing several punches to the targets body, leaning back and raising his arms as he swung. Hitting higher and higher until his punches reached the targets face. Before he reaches the head he leans back on his right foot with his feet planted. His arms tucked in at his waist side, he leans forward throwing a right handed over the head haymaker like punch. Benn aimed to knock the opponent off balance by pushing they're head closer the floor. As the last punch connects, Benn continues to rotate off the punch. He continues spinning downward left creating one spin, grabbing the blade before the spins end and slashing one clean slash across the targets chest.

He then quickly leaps over the target same as he did with Castiels first clone, his sword aligned over his head. The blade touches the targets chest as Benn continued to flip forward and over it.
The blade would slice five times if Benn's attack was not disrupted.



(Ken Rendan no Jutsu) - Sword Barrage Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 25
Description: With this technique, the user will make a sequence of slashes with their sword and finishes with a powerful final slash dealing liberal damage to their enemy.


Landing behind the clone and throwing all his body into his right shoulder. He swiftly leans backward without turning to face the targets back, and thrusts his arm into the opponent, sending him flying onto his/her face.



-Note all spans of play above was meant on a non countered basis :D-

F*cking awesome. o_O

For this next one, I will give you a tanto to use.

(Enjin Ranbu) - Circular Wild Dance
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 25
Description: The user spins with his tantō, hitting the target several times.

Get up close near my clone, then proceed to use the tanto to hit him many times, anyway you want. Silly technique really. >_>

Benn grabs the Tanto and clips hits holster onto the belt that holds his blade.

He looks at Castiel's clone "Hai" he says analyzing Castiel's explanation of the technique.

Code:
[B]One/three advantages:[/B]
[LIST][*]1. Good for sneaky attacks [*]2. Good for mixing combos  [*]3. [*][/LIST]
[B]One/three disadvantages:[/B]
[LIST][*]1. Leaves you close [*]2. Needs to be close (lol)[*]3.[*][/LIST]
[B]How you would use it in battle:[/B]
In combinations. The tanto is actually a plus to me. Thanks to sensei I can use a sword in one hand and a tanto in the other. I wonder if I can use this tanto with previous learned techniques. Ken Rendan no Jutsu would be perfect to mix up the sword strikes with tanto strikes. That way I can slash faster. And maybe with Ikari Nomikomu no Jutsu I can use this for the final slash, making it a bit more sneaky...and even chain Ikari Nomikomu no Jutsu into...Enjin Ranbu.

[B]How you would counter it:[/B]
Heh. Lean back or force through the strikes with my sword. Causing either me to break his strength or cause a power struggle between me and the target. 

[B]How you perform it (with as much detail as you can):[/B]
This tech is used for combo linking in my opinion. I'd probably rush the target after setting up the previous distractions. And then switch up my previous combo.

He focuses on the clone. And prepares himself. "Okay sensei. Here I come." He begins forming the Bunshin seals, Stealth seals and Kiri jutsu while proceeding to his target.

Example
Turn 2 after Kirigakure and etc
Benn circles his targets if possible. He and his clone stop in front and back of Castiel's clone.
They both rush the clone with they're sword twirling in they're palms until they fling it into the air. Once he gets close he begins his boxer like attacks ending with an uppercut and leaping into the air.


(Ikari Nomikomu no Jutsu) - Fury Swallow Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 25
Description: The user punches the opponent a few times and finishes them with two final slashes with their blade or sword.



Before grabbing his blade he pulls out his tanto and begins a downward left spin slashing the target with his tanto then his blade in one fluid motion.

As he lands he continues to spin on his landed foot several spins. Like a top allowing his tanto and blade to spin against his opponent as he spins inward toward it.


(Enjin Ranbu) - Circular Wild Dance
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 25
Description: The user spins with his tantō, hitting the target several times.


After five spins Benn would instantly halts, with his left outward below his waist and his right arm crossed over his chest ready to begin a slash, He throws a cross slash from the targets right shoulder to left waist. He then throws a upward slash from the targets left waist to his right shoulder, his first two strikes forming an X before continuing a combo.

(Ken Rendan no Jutsu) - Sword Barrage Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 25
Description: With this technique, the user will make a sequence of slashes with their sword and finishes with a powerful final slash dealing liberal damage to their enemy.


He spins to to the left of his left foot. Stopping on the clones left side, and thrusts into it like a tackle.

Moving on:

(Rakkasui) - Falling Water
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 25
Description: The user will drop down upon the opponent from mid air pointing their sword downwards and drilling it down into the opponent.

Somehow get yourself up into the air, around the mid-air side, above your target then with your sword pointing downwards above them, drill the sword down into them. Handy if you are already up in the air.
