Now we proceed with the next technique:

(Hadan no Jutsu) - Rapture Technique

for this technique i want you to take the same pose again and concentrate your chakra into your katana, this is basically similar to the samurai saber but less powerful and then by raising your sword above your head or in any postion you wish swing the katana forwards to release the energy whilst striking at one the wooden dummies and as you swing it down step into the attack, then when done step backwards with small steps and return to the position to await further instructions

great work time for the most commonly used samurai technique and the basic technique for use in the land of iron the samurai saber technique:

(Samurai Guntou no Jutsu) Samurai Sabre Technique
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: This technique is unique to samurai, which employs the concept of chakra flow techniques similar to the flying sparrow and Kusanagi: Chidori katana. Through the use of chakra flow the user channels their chakra through their swords his extends the reach and the cutting ability of the blade, and also allows the user to fire crescents of chakra whenever the blade is swung. This released chakra is capable of great destruction as shown from how it destroyed a stone pillar. The samurai have also shown the ability to use shape transformation, as they can form their chakra blades into giant buzz saws, broad swords, spiked shafts, and axes. This ability allows them to rely on smaller swords while retaining greater reach, damage, and surprise attacks as needed.(The technique is capable of countering Ninjutsu of A rank and below due to the chakra charge technique).
Note: Can only be taught and used by a Samurai Bio

The samurai saber technique is the same as the other chakra charging techniques but this one takes on a more physical form around the blade. And there are various different ways to shape your chakra for example, you could form it into a buzzsaw to make it cut easier through things, or form into a dual headed axe for more brutal approach, but aswell as that you can release chakra cresents that are as strong as any elemental or non elemental ninjutsu. So what i want you to do is practice concentrating your chakra into your sword and then using shape manipulation to form first a buzzsaw and test on one the wooden dummies, then the dual headed axe and test it on a second wooden dummy and then finally releasing a chakra slash of energy to cut through a third.

Give it a try now ^_^

I wield my katana in my left hand. I then concentrating chakra into it but this time, I imagine his I could change the form into a buzz saw. So I walk up to a dummy and I concentrating the chakra enough to manipulate a buzz saw that I hit the dummy with, I then immediatly reshape the buzz saw into an axe that is very strong and take a devastating swing at it lower abdomine. I finally step back and reshape my weapon back into its original form, and I take a couple swings releasing energy at the third and final dummy

Good work remember with that technique there are plenty more varieties that could be done such as spears , shields even a form of crossbow to shoot bolts of chakra. But now we move onto one the best skills in the Samurai's movepool the Art of Iaido.

Iaidō (Art of Quick Draw and re-sheathing the sword) is constructed of smooth, controlled movements of drawing the sword from its scabbard, striking or cutting an opponent, removing blood from the blade via a quick and swift flick to the ground on your right or left side, and then replacing the sword in the scabbard. The way this ability works is that dependant upon your ranking depends on the speed and level of effectiveness against enemy ninja. In close range if your as strong or higher level than your opponent you can effectively counter the ninja from using hand seals and resort to trying to counter the attack through similar means of kenjutsu or using a weapon or merely dodging and thus rendering your opponent useless against you. Its a perfect method in drawing a battle with a ninja into close combat and keeping it if you continously press them into the situation.

(Iaidō) - Art of Quick Draw and re-sheathing the sword
Rank: A
Type: Offensive, Defensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: Iaidō is a form of kenjutsu where the user quick draws the blade extremely fast to strike, then re-sheathing it. This method prevents enemies from using hand seals, thus preventing them from using Ninjutsu making it highly effective against enemy ninja. General Mifune of the Land of Iron is a master of this style, making him highly effective against even ninja of caliber of Sasuke Uchiha and Hanzō the Salamander. (The speed of the technique is equivilant to that of the rank of the user)
Note: Can only be used by Samurai biographies

We will begin firstly with the stance, similar to the basic stance which i will provide again with clear instruction.

Chudan no Kamae:
the wielder of the katana has their right foot out infront of them and their left foot slightly behind them with the heal slightly raised off the floor and left leg slightly bent. The holding of the katana itself has the hilt leveled near your waist, an inch and half below your belly button and then held about 2-3 inches infront with the sword pointed 45 degrees upwards towards the targets throat. it is the most commonly used form due to its ability to be in the middle of all incoming attacks and can easily defend them.

Then after attaining this form i want you to place your left hand on the scabbard with your thumb pressed up against the tsuba with your right hand on the hilt and then i want you to push the Tsuba with your left thumb so its slightly unsheaved and as you do pull the katana out of the scabbard fully before raising it to above your right shoulder with the blade facing forwards and then turning it around as you change the hold to show your back hand to the outside and bringing the katana down in a diagonal slash which will be the inital attack to cut through your opponentm then when your done i want you to do a swift and quick flick of the katana to your right side to represent the cleaning of the blood from the blade and then quickly change your hold to a reverse grip and slowly guide the blade into the scabbard and again switch your hold to the original so that you can then be ready to counter your opponent or prepare to fight another and ending the ritual of Iaido.

Follow this method for a complete set of 5 times, and start with a slow step for every movement so you get the basics down and then with each try increase your speed so that you end on your fifth attempt having increased your speed 5 times and making use of iaido more fluidly. For the initial cutting practice on this line of bamboo canes.

After you are done with those 5, I want you to do the following set of moves. Each cut is a simple strike from the top of the head straight down the centre line, with the bokken ending parallel to the floor at roughly the same height as the lower abdomen. The order of the strikes is north, south, east, west, southeast, northwest, southwest, northeast, finally returning - without performing a ninth cut - to the original position (north).

First, Kirioroshi (Makkōgiri):
You bring the sword above your head again and slash your sword vertically down, aiming at the top/center of the head.
With this move you can also cut their wrists if they have their hands in front of them etc. After the move, return to the basic starting stance as we learned in the very beginning.

Second, Migi Kesagiri:
With this, you again raise the sword above your head turn it a little to the right and bring it down towards their left shoulder/neck area,
creating a diagonal slash going from the right to the left. After the move, return to the basic starting stance as we learned in the very beginning.

Third, Hidari Kesagiri:
This is almost the same but you do the move from the left.
So you again raise the sword above your head turn it a little to the left and bring it down towards their right shoulder/neck area, creating a diagonal slash going from the left to the right. After the move, return to the basic starting stance as we learned in the very beginning.

Fourth, Migi Ichimonji:
You move your blade swinging it horizontally from the right to the left, cutting the trunk area of the enemy. With this you can also cut the tendencies of the arms as well. After the move, return to the basic starting stance as we learned in the very beginning.

Fifth, Hidari Ichimonji:
The same move but you invert your position and movement.
You move your blade swinging it horizontally from the left to the right, cutting the trunk area of the enemy. After the move, return to the basic starting stance as we learned in the very beginning.

Sixth, Migi Gyakugesa:
Here you do a diagonal slash coming from below, the right side of you, rising to the left.
You aim at the torso area of the enemy. After the move, return to the basic starting stance as we learned in the very beginning.

Seventh, Hidari Gyakugesa:
Here it is the same. You do a diagonal slash coming from below, the left side of you, rising to the right.
You aim at the torso area of the enemy. After the move, return to the basic starting stance as we learned in the very beginning.

Eighth, Tsuki:
With this move, you simply thrust your sword in to the enemy.
You can aim in several different locations such as the throat, chest, stomach, limbs and what ever. After the move, return to the basic starting stance as we learned in the very beginning.

I want at least 6 lines under each heading ^_^

First: I unsheath my katana with my left hand. I then shift my right foot out from and keep my left foot back. I then shuffle towards a dummy and place my right hand on my katana as well. I then raise my katana above my hand and very quickly bring it down vertically omtop of its head. I then quickly shuffle back to chudan no kamae

Second: still I'm the chudan no kamae I start to shuffle towards another dummy. I then re call on my last strike. I then once again bring my sword up above my head but this time I turn it slightly to the right. I do this so that when I bring it down, it will make impact with the dummy's left solder since he is facing me. I then bring down the blade with tremendous speed choping it's left solder. I the. Shuffle back to the chudan no kamae

Third: I shuffle once more to another dummy still In chudan no kamae. Once I reach the dummy I recall my last strike where I shifted the blade to the right. This Time I raise it above my head once more but this time I shift it to the left slightly. I do this because I want to hit its right solder. I the. Bring down my blade once more slashing its right solder. I then shuffle back to the chudan no kamae once again.

Fourth: I shuffle once more to a dummy. I recall the last few strikes I've performed, which were al vertical slashes. This time, I place my right hand omtop of my left, and slash horizontaly at the dummy's trunk from right to left. The reason for the way my hands are positioned is because since I'm slashing right to left, having my right hand omtop gives me much more momentum. I then shuffle back to chudan no kamae.

Fifth: so, I recall on how I had my right hand omtop for a right to left slash. This time, I shuffle to a dummy once more and this time I put my left hand omtop. I then horizontaly slash at the dummy's trunk once more but from left to right. Havin my left hand omtop gave me a lot more momentum. I then shuffle back to chudan no kamae.

Sixth: still in chudan no kamae, I recall on my last to strikes on how I slashed horizontally. I then shuffle up to yet Nother dummy and place my right hand on top once more. I then rest the blade to the right of me. I then immediatly slash horizontaly to the left coming from my original resting position. Having my right hand onto gave me the edge for I aimed for the torso. I then shuffled back to chudan no kamae.

Seventh: I recall on how slashing vertically was a bit tougher. I then shuffled up and put my left hand omtop and let my blade rest to the left of me. I then slashed vertically up to the right with much power. Having my left hand ontop once again gave me the edge for aiming precicly at the torso. I shuffle back once more.

Eight: I maintain the chudan no kamae and begging to shuffle once more. This time however I change things up. I place my right hand ontop and make it so than my hands are touch my chest and the blade is pointed at my opponent. I the thrust hitting its neck, heart, lungs, stomach, and Achilles tenden very fast and precise. I the. Shuffle back to chudan no kamae for the last time before getting further instruction

Good now the next one:

(Iaigiri) - Iai Beheading Technique
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user using the art of Iaido to quickly draw their katana will then uses both hands to create a downward slash, thus cutting the opponent. This jutsu was strong enough to cut Hanzo's salamander Ibuse head clean open.

Now using the same Chudan no kamae stance placing your left hand on the scabbard and your right hand on hilt and by pressing your thumb up to lightly unsheave the katana follow up with unsheaving it completely in a quick mannor as you have now learnt to do iaido with speed and then raise the katana above your head directly and grab hold of the hilt with your left hand and dring the katana down swiftly cutting down the center of that bamboo cane. then as same with the general iaido a swift and quick flick of the katana to your right hand side to represent the removal of the blood and then finish resheaving the katana.
