Deep within this cavern, deep within the darkness, lays a vast and enormous lake, created from the snow and cold weather. The cavern itself is held by several enormous pillars of rock, as if someone built this place, and it could easily be assumed. The reason for this, is because, right in front of this large lake lies a single scroll surrounding by numerous Tomahawks. These weapons and the scroll were discovered by a single person not so long ago. This person came to understand the interpretations and drawings on the scroll that came to represent the style which he had just discovered. The discoverer of this scroll and tomahawks would later become master of The Way of the Tomahawk.Description on the Abilities and Inner Workings of the Style: The Way of the Tomahawk is a unique and new fighting style, only having just been revealed to the Ninja World. While some practitioners of Kenjutsu and knife fighting styles will mistake it for being less graceful and complex, they would soon realize that there is plenty to learn before one can consider oneself proficient with a tomahawk. To even begin to learn and understand the complex nature of the Tomahawk, one must acquire a minimum of two tomahawks to begin with, yet as the training progresses, one must understand that a total of five tomahawks may be used in combat. These Tomahawks are unique form of small axes that are easy and quick to handle, and they are generally quite small with a triangular head, and some have a hole in the center, big enough to fit swords etc. through it. Beginning ones practice, one will first undergo basic stances and trainings. These include different strikes with a tomahawk such as overhand and side strikes. During this training one will come to learn to utilize two to five tomahawks at once with incredible precision and skill, being capable of tracking one’s own tomahawks with ease while also delivering strong and powerful, and even deep wounds and cuts to the target. Besides the close ranged usage of the Tomahawk style, which is the most essential part, there also exists the ranged aspect of the Tomahawk combat. In this aspect a practitioner will learn to throw all their tomahawks with their hands with impressive precision and speed, considering the wind and that the tomahawk is not aerodynamic. When having trained in the ranged field, one can throw all the tomahawks with such precision and skill that they will be capable of hitting a moving target of up to 30 feet away, while also hitting it with whatever part of the tomahawk they seek. Of course due to both needing tomahawks for close combat and ranged combat, the practitioner is required to be in possession of at least 20 tomahawks while in combat. Returning to the aspect of close combat, one will be trained in dual-wielding tomahawks. Starting with two and building the skill up to becoming capable of wielding five at once. Even though the essential tomahawk fighting style revolves around, being in constant offensive position, one is not only trained to deliver various and deadly strikes, one is also trained in “capturing” or “hooking” their opponents weapons such as swords, staffs etc. using their tomahawks to redirect their weapons down, to the side and out of the way. The tomahawk fighting style is specifically made to combat opponents that utilize staffs, swords, hand to hand combat etc. Having said this, redirecting the opponents weapons is an essential part of the tomahawk fighting style, utilized to open up the target and deliver deadly and deep wounds to the targets ribs, lungs etc. If a tomahawk warrior should face another of his kind, he is trained to aim for the shaft of the opponent’s tomahawk in order to quickly disarm him. The techniques and usage of the tomahawks are only limited by the practitioner’s imagination. After having mastered the usage of the tomahawk, one may think that they have become proficient in the usage of the tomahawk, where in fact, they are still missing an important aspect of the style. One must implement chakra to become a full fletched tomahawk warrior. When utilizing the tomahawk in close combat, one must be capable of transferring their chakra into the tomahawk or tomahawks they are using, making the tomahawks sharper and stronger. Yet the chakra is also needed for more than just making them sharper and stronger, it is also utilized in techniques where the practitioner will use the chakra surrounding the tomahawks to redirect kunai, shuriken, swords and knives etc. The tomahawks that have holes in the center of the heads can be used to interlock the swords in between them, and utilizing the chakra that is transferred into them, it may lock the swords inside them being in capable of pulling them out again. This last note is usually used to simple redirect or push the sword away while then making a quick and deadly offense. Besides having the ability of sharpening the axes and using the chakra and the tomahawks to redirect weapons, it is also used to enhance the size of the tomahawks. This is done in the essence, that the chakra may be used in combat to make the tomahawks have a thick coating of chakra that is compressed to the point where it is capable of physically interact with the surroundings. As such a tomahawk that may be thrown or is aimed to cut someone, the chakra can be used to make a large coating of chakra around the head of the axe which not only enhances the size of the tomahawks head but also increases its blunt and cutting power, while it does not increase the weight of the weapon. Example Techniques:The Way of the Tomahawk: Undertow[SPOILER]Type: OffensiveRank: BChakra: 20Damage: 40Description: Quite the simple tomahawk technique, where the practitioner will throw a single or multiple tomahawks at their desired target, with great precision. The tomahawk(s) thrown will all have the practitioner’s chakra within them. This chakra will when the tomahawks are thrown, immediately cause the tomahawk(s) to gain a large chakra coating that increases its cutting and blunt force. The result of the impact of one or more tomahawks will push the target back while delivering deep cuts and blunt force to the body of the target.[/SPOILER]The Way of the Tomahawk: Reckless Swing[SPOILER]Type: OffensiveRank: AChakra: 30Damage: 60Description: The practitioner will gather a considerable amount of his chakra into two of his tomahawks which he will be wielding, one in each hand. Afterwards the practitioner will rain down on the target with multiple downward slashes which are all enhanced by chakra both cutting and blunt force, while gaining a chakra coating that causes the blunt force and cutting edge to be so severe and strong that it may blast down onto the target with enough force to force them into a kneeling position, or even if not prepared, blast them into the ground leaving a small crater with their body in it. [/SPOILER]Additional Effects and Restrictions:-    In order to utilize this style one must be in possession of 20 tomahawks-    One must have mastery over Ninjutsu to be capable of utilizing this style-    Must be of Kage rank to learn this style-    Practitioners of this style have much faster reflexes and higher perception than the average Taijutsu Master[/SPOILER][/QUOTE]
