[li]Cunning Mind [25]
Rank: D
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Passive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: Mid per use
This technique allows a kendo master to purge all of their experience into a surreal body movement. This movement allows them to analyze their opponents completely within the users range by studying others and the user tensing their bodies for sudden movements.

Notes: This is fully dependent on role-play movement but just gives the ability to perceive attacks, but not predict. Simply put, this is nothing more than a greater clarity during battle than most shinobi; it will simply offer the user a marginal edge, dependent on the execution of the role-play in question.

[/li][li]Pawn wishing to shuffle [25]
Rank: D
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: Low
This technique is a feint or "pawn" maneuver. By faking to give away a vital area the user of this technique can counterattack just as a strike is being given. But the counterattack is intended to blind or disable the opponent using sweeping slashes with the tip of a slim weapon.

Note: This is a two-part technique. The user will simply strike (the feint), and then when the opponent responds reverse their strike to deliver the true blow.

[/li][li]Rook Sliding Back [50]
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Defensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: 2x Mid
A Kendo Practitioner knowing of an incoming attack can push forward and bend themselves backwards , almost as if falling to the floor but held up by a singular hand and their feet bent at the knee. A typical example is a power slide. This technique allows a kendo master to set up an accurate counter strike or evade a technique too strong for original evasive maneuvers.

[/li][li]Disabling Prod [100]
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: 2x Mid
Another deadly technique, by striking a joint or structural point around their opponents body. A kendo user can cause catastrophic damage to a singular point disabling a arm or leg until medical attention is given to the opponent.

Note: This also totally dependent on roleplay ability to accurately tell what has been hit and why it was important enough to disable. However,one struck, the appendage in question will be unusable for the remainder of the thread.

[/li][li]Moving your Queen [100]
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: High
A Kendo practitioner knows that a world full of dangerous people must be met with dangerous force. Using their ferocious piercing talents, a kendo user will strike directly for their opponents eye with pin-point precision, even if the target is moving. This technique is used to destroy their vision completely within that one socket with their chakra infused strike.

[/li][li]Sweeping the Knight [100]
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive.
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: High
This technique causes a different type of damage. A practitioner of kendo will go for their opponents strengths, whether speed or forming hand-seals. The user will slash outward cutting the appendage in use (legs or arms) to such a degree the user will be slowed down in creation of seals or speed.

Note: The "slow down" for seals will simply be counted as doubling the seal count for all of a victim's jutsu (i.e six would become twelve). As for speed, the victim will simply be reduced to moving at half of their normal speed and be incapable of using passive boosts such as removing ankle weights, the Gates, or Curse Mark. This effect last a total of five posts.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/font][/li][/ul]

Rank:C
Range:Close )0m ~ 5m)
Type:Defensive
Handseals:--
Chakra Consumption: Mid
A technique that is used by the holder of the weapon to suddenly launch the hilt of the blade outwards from any position. The main function of this attack grants the user the ability to use the blunt end of the hilt while it is still encased, and move it forward to suddenly strike the opponent. The attack is so quick, due to the method of movement, that it is a extremely difficult to predict technique, and usually ensures a hit if performed on a unsuspecting target.

Note:The stunning power of this technique is one turn after contact.

[/li][li]Sandangamaegiri (Triple Cut) [100]
Rank: B
Range:Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type:Offensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: Mid [Per Attack]
The battojutsu practitioner subjugates their dominant hand with chakra. This allows the practitioner to commence their attack from any position, this particular technique allows the practitioner to unsheathe their blade, before beginning to slash once and then continues on with their forward movement, which allows them to cut the opponent with additional blows with their chakra enhanced speed.

Note: This technique depends entirely on the success of the first strike. Once the first strike hits a total of two more strikes can be placed after the first one.

[/li][li]Joushou Giri (Rising Cut) [100]
Rank:B
Range:Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: High
Commencing from a crouching position, the practitioner rises, grips their blade with both hands and then delivers a devastating slash that allows them to capitalize on an overextending opponent.

Note: By continuing with the motion, the user can utilize the momentum behind the attack and follow it up with 'Morote Giri' for a fluid one-two combination.

[/li][li]Morote Giri (Two Handed Cut) [100]
Rank:B
Range:Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type:Offensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: High
Commencing from a standing position, the practitioner gathers their strength for one moment, and then strikes with their sword in both hands, performing a single strong attack that is capable of breaking through defenses and delivering massive damage.

[/li][li]Marugiri (Circle Cut) [100]
Rank:B
Range:Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type:Offensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: High
Commencing from a kneeling position, the practitioner draws, rises and spins in one fluid motion, forestalling opponents all around and then quickly sheathes. Rotating a full three hundred and sixty degrees, this cutting strike is useful for assaulting targets all around the user at once. Upon finishing the twisting cut, the user sheathes the weapon.

[/li][li]Senkou Zuki (Flash Thrust) [150]
Rank:A
Range:Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type:Offensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: x2 High
Using a vast amount of mental focus, the practitioner nearly-instantaneously draws, thrusts at an opponent and sheathes again, all in the blink of an eye. It is fabled that even the famed Sharingan has had trouble following a blade swung under such pretenses.

[/li][li]Sanjuu Kenippen (Triple Blade Slice) [150]
Rank:A
Range:Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type:Offensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: x2 High
Commencing from a kneeling position, the practitioner lunges towards one or many opponents, focusing his mind and skill on striking those before him. The user then draws, slashing from one side to the other, and spinning instantly through again for another cut, then a third and final spin to finish the opponent(s) off. The strikes are quick enough to believe one sees three blades slashing, not one and due to the erratic fashion of the technique, can be applied to multiple opponents or just one.

[/li][li]Kagirinai Hagane Hitosashi (Endless Steel Dance) [300]
Rank:S
Range:Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type:Offesnive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption:Massive
Commencing from a standing position, the practitioner gathers a vast amount of focus into their mind, prepared to end the lives of those before him. Then, once the user has unsheathed his blade and focused his chakra into his body, the user then lunges forward rapidly, initiating a sequence of up to ten rapid, but precise attacks. The user and his blade moves like a storm, flashing from one attack to the next relentlessly, the opponents being unable to trace one indistinguishable attack from the next.

[/li][li]Iaijutsu (Art of Mental Presence) [25]
Rank:D
Range:Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type:Supplementary
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: Low to cast and sustain
A defensive nature of fighting, all Iaijutsu practitioners will tend to stand in closed positions, sending chakra throughout their bodies to quicken response times. this leaves little openings and makes sure to make the least amount of wasted movement possible so as to remain solid like a rock. Once the swordsman has understood the basics of fortification, they move on to more complex defensive patterns.

[/li][li]Kawasu (To Parry) [25]
Rank: D
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Defensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: Low

Commencing from any position, the practitioner draws their sword and moves to deflect or simply block the strike, then resheathes. As the user becomes more proficient in Iaijutsu, more strikes can be defending against in a fluid movement, before they are overwhelmed by the attacks.

Note: This technique serves as a counter against multi-strike based techniques. A maximum of three techniques can be parried per use at an incredibly fast, almost "simultaneous" rate. It should be noted that these parries must be plausible, and simply because a user can defend relatively quick does not mean the are immune to being struck. As state, this will be widely considered as a multi-strike counter.

[/li][li]Ridairekuto (Redirect) [50]
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Defensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: Mid
Commencing from any position, the practitioner proceeds to unsheathe their blade and quickly strike against an incoming physical attack. But, instead of simply blocking it, the user will instead use the opponents momentum against them, which in turn forces them off balance and leaves them vulnerable to a strike afterwards. While off balance, the opponent will be unable to perform actions involving high amounts of dexterity, due to the surprise of being knocked off center.

Note:Once parried, the opponent is left off balance and unable to find their footing for half a turn.

[/li][li]Sumasshu (Smash and Defend) [50]
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Defensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: Mid
Commencing from any position, the practitioner strikes with the hilt at a frontal opponent's face, forcing him to stumble back, which allows them to follow up with a quick slash or cut. Following the mindset of 'the best defense is a great offense', the user will seek to stop an opponent from throwing an attack out in the first place, leaving them on the defensive and unable to fully utilize their offense.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/li][/ul][/font]

[li]Ronin-Satsugai no Fuuin (Seal of the Bladed Warrior) [300]
Rank: S
Range: -
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: -
The Seal of the Bladed Warrior was the Samurai founder's secret to attaining a new level of power. Knowledge borrowed from their neighboring chakra experts, Whirlpool, the Samurai Clan developed a seal that would ensure the self-preservation of all Samurai, as well as their place in new history. By binding an advanced seal at the core of their chakra network directly after birth, the Samurai essentially created a steady, sustained flow of pure, raw chakra. Constantly feeding outwards and unable to be turned off, this sudden increase in their chakra output allows them to remain on par with their shinobi counterparts by producing a combination of raw, powerful attacks with their traditional Bushido, at the cost of being unable to create seals and mold chakra properly due to the pressure of the surging energy. The seal itself is a combination of ancient kanji and other shapes, and is usually placed on the chest.

Note: This seal is placed upon all samurai, essentially doubling their chakra capacity by opening their chakra pathways in a somewhat similar way to Hachimontokou. However, because os this, it prevents samurai from being able to finely mold chakra in terms of jutsu, making handseals and the like useless (i.e preventing them from using Ninjutsu, Fuuinjutsu, and Genjutsu).

[/li][li]Chakura no Kishu (Chakra Form Manipulation) [50]
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid to cast, Low to sustain
The most innate and basic of all Samurai abilities, this technique acts as the base to all of the armored warriors chakra related abilities. Although samurai don't use handseals and jutsu, they nonetheless have learned to bypass seals as a medium for their chakra, using instead in its raw form and manipulating it to their bidding, usually in the form of an offensive weapon. As the Samurai grows more experienced with this technique, their creations become grander and grander.

Note: This is the basis for all Naideshou Gonyuu techniques. The samurai must learn this in order to possess any of the other sub-techniques. The chakra used to coat their weapon via this knowledge can serve as a buffer between the sword and outside techniques which would require contact to activate (a samurai could slap a small fireball away without detonating it via their sword).

[/li][li]Kyuushen (Weapon Sharpness) [100]
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low – 2x High
A basic training technique that supplements all of the Samurai's chakra creations, this will determine the sharpness and strength behind their chakra manipulation. By coating their weaponry in chakra, the user can increase the sharpness of their blade indefinitely.

Note: By offering a Low increment of chakra, this technique marginally increases the blade’s cutting strength, allowing easy passage through leather-based armor; by offering a Mid increment of chakra, this technique moderately increases the blade’s cutting strength, allowing it to easily dig into steel-based armor; by offering a 2x Mid increment of chakra, this technique greatly increases the blade’s cutting strength, allowing easy passage through steel armor and weaponry (up to six inches thick); by offering a High increment of chakra, this technique vastly increases the blade’s cutting strength, allowing easy passage through large obstructions (such as trees, boulders, concrete, etc up to two feet thick); by offering a 2x High increment of chakra, this technique increases the blade’s cutting strength to peerless levels. At this rank, the sword can effortlessly pass through elementary chakra-infused barriers (equivalent to the blade’s length) and any other man-made materials.

[/li][li]Sorekiri (Weapon Deployment) [50]
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low
Now that the samurai has gotten familiar with creating bladed chakra weaponry with and without the assistance of a base, they are able to propel their creations into a straight, linear form. Fast moving and dangerous, the chakra cutters rely their size, shape, strength and power entirely on how well the Samurai has honed and trained their chakra manipulations skills. Only one projectile may be fired per swing.

[/li][li]Bourei (Weapon Creation) [50]
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid
This variation to the Chakra Form Manipulation grants the samurai the ability of creating a chakra weapon out of thin air, whenever combat has rendered them without their normal armament. Taking the shape of weapon whatever the samurai desires, the user's pure chakra maintains the weapon as long as there is enough chakra to fuel it.

Note: The maximum size of the weapon(s) the samurai may create is 3 meters, which can extend to a length of 8 meters.

[/li][li]Sashibae (Weapon Projection) [100]
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: 2x Mid
As its name implies, this variation to the Chakra Form Manipulation grants the samurai the ability of enhancing a plain, solid weapon with chakra extensions. Taking the shape of the current weapon in use, or another, the Samurai's pure chakra now coats their weapon, adding a unique versatility to their approach in combat.

Note: These extensions must be simple (an axe, hammer, etc.) and forged from either a solid, traditional weapon. The same restrictions for Weapon Creation applies to these extensions, in term of extending and size.

[/li][li]Bakushin (Weapon Explosion) [300]
Rank: S
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: High
The final step behind mastering the art of Chakra Form Manipulation involves reversing the flow paths of the absorption at such rapid rates that a sudden release of energy over the imminent build-up comes forth. This means that any chakra creation the Samurai makes, whether it comes in projectile form or extended from the user's blade, will explode on contact away from the Samurai and completely on their chosen target.

Note: The intensity of the explosion, originating from the user’s blade, is equivalent to that of several (4) explosive notes. The size of the explosion is roughly three meters is a conical fashion wherever the blade of the user’s sword is pointed.

This technique can only be used with a physical weapon (non chakra created). Likewise, this ability takes a full post to charge, in which no other techniques can be used. However, after this ability has been charged, the user may continue to battle and detonate the blade whenever he\she feels like it.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/font][/li][/ul]

Isamu's body is what you would expect of an agile boy and samurai. He has been undergoing rigorous training -- both mental and physical - since he was able to hold a weapon. Being the grandson of the Shogun, Isamu has had access to the most elite training the Samurai have to offer, and his body has begun to take shape as you'd expect. He has long, agile limbs and his body is covered in lean muscle, his focus on speed and technique slowly but surely crafting the perfect swordsman's build.

His most notable trait is his unusual hair colour; being a deep blue, it has somewhat become his trademark. He has grown his hair out since birth, often wearing it back in a ponytail so he doesn't obstruct his view. As for clothing, he usually wears a traditional black and red kimono, usually accessorised with a long scarf around his neck and a pair of wooden clogs. He has yet to earn his power armour, but he trains every day, eager to become a full-fledged Samurai.

Isamu's family history has ultimately been what has shaped him into the man he is becoming. Being the direct descendant of the Shogun - the legendary Monzaemon - he has known a life of privilege and dedication. With the death of his parents and his sister, Isamu has always lead a sheltered life, samurai being assigned to guard him ever since he was young, always following him (even when he'd try to lose them!). His Grandfather is fiercely protective, and has taken it upon himself to train Isamu personally, and as you could imagine being trained by literally the most fearsome swordsman in the world has its perks!

Quickly on his way to becoming a full-fledged Samurai, Isamu tries his best to learn from his Grandfather, aspiring to be as strong as he is some day - and although a bit of a long shot, it's easy to see that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, being a master swordsman at the age of 15. Isamu is almost ready to take on the world and do his duty as a Samurai, to uphold the Hoshimitsu name and to make his family proud - he just has to find the perfect balance between teenage stupidity and becoming the greatest swordsman he can be!

lazy days Dec 19, 2012 20:07:33 GMT -8

Post by sachi on Dec 19, 2012 20:07:33 GMT -8

My dream world was finally shifting, the reoccurring nightmare at last fading after I had "saved" my Mother once more, my mind allowing me to move on while I slept under the assumption everything was okay again. The events of that night had left an emotional and mental scar I couldn't describe or contain, it was a battle all on my own, a battle without my Granfather's guidance to help me . . .

WHACK!

The wooden cane slapped hard against my forehead, ripping me right from my sleeping state and bringing me to life with a scream of pain, my hands instinctively thrown over my head in anticipation of another smack,

"GRAMPS!"

I shouted through clenched teeth, my Grandfather's legendary strength making something so fragile as a wooden cane feel as if I was struck with the blunt end of a sword, a red mark apparent on my head as I rubbed it,

"You made me work an extra five hours yesterday! Why do you think I slept in?!"

My tone was clearly an unhappy one as I quickly slid to the end of my bed, because as much as it pissed me off and as much as I'd rather sleep, the last thing I'd want it to make him tell me twice, he tended to not like that!

I rose out of bed, my eyes heavy and only half open despite the rude awakening, my hair a mess as I stood there in my tanktop and boxers,

"You could always just give me a shake next time, Gramps . . ."

I spoke as I stepped away from him and towards a door on the other side of my room which led to my closet, entering and quickly changing into my standard kimono, lazily tying my hair into a ponytail as I'd exit, my Grandfather no doubt waiting for me to make sure I wasn't wasting any time. He was always fierce about tardiness, and while I was usually pretty punctual there were just some days where a boy needed his sleep!

The smell of my Grandmother's cooking was the only thing lifting my spirits right now as I headed towards the kitchen, my head still throbbing from my wake up call. If there was ever anything I could count on my Granny for, it was keeping me well fed, boy was she ever a mean cook! I walked into the room quickly, yellow eyes scanning the room for anything that was ready to eat as I made my way to my seat,

"Good morning, Grandmother"

At least with Grandma around, Gramps would be a little bit nicer!

C: 3/4 th of a Turn
B: Half a Turn
A: 1/4 [supth[/sup of a Turn
S: Near-Instant

Domain: The Gentleman's Art

Tap Away
Rank: D.
Type: Defensive.o
Range: 0-5 Meters.
Chakra: Low.
Special: By utilizing their quick reflexes and slender blade, the user can speedily smack away any basic attack one rank lower than 'Exquisite Counter' and leave an opening to step in with a return of their own. Please keep in mind the deflection must be realistic, as it is impossible to redirect large, area covering objects or abstract concepts, such a meteors, giant monsters, streams of fire, lightning bolts, love, emotions, the meaning of life, sexuality, etc.
Description: The most basic of all deflection techniques, a simple smacking away with a bit of force. Made possible by a combination of a strong wrist movement, firm grip and the design of a slender sword. When confronted with a basic level attack, the user watches the direction it's coming and simply taps it a bit to send it of course. Once moved, this leaves an immediate opening for the user to strike with their own technique.

The smell of smoke filled the air of the hallways as I exited the room. The explosion had not only damaged the house, but set fire to it as well, the orange glow of flames visible in the distance, the light flickering along the walls. I could hear the sounds of yelling outside, the sounds of steel on steel, the sounds of death. I knew who my enemy was, I knew this all because I had lived it already - was I given a chance to make things right? Could I change time and protect her? Miyo was already gone, but if I could save my mother . . . if I could just change things . . .

You'll have to get through us, Shinobi!

I could hear shouting in the room just ahead, before the inevitable sounds of a fight breaking out, and judging by the noise it was a big one. I could hear blades clashing, projectile weaponry stabbing into the walls, glass breaking and thumps as people would drop to the floor, blood leaking out from under the door. I moved forward slowly, blade held firmly in my right hand as I approached the entrance. More explosions went off at different ends of the house, I could hear the wooden supports snapping as they were either burnt of destroyed by the concussive force. The flames were getting larger and more intense, the smoke was getting thicker, but I knew that in order to save my mother I had to clear a path for her . . .

I slid the door open and stepped through, and was immediately greeted with the sight of dead servants all around me. We had been taken by surprise by the shinobi, but despite this they still took up arms to protect my family. They didn't have a chance of winning, but still they sacrificed themselves for the Hoshimitsu, to buy us time, to do anything they could. My chest grew heavy, the lump in my throat worsened, but the burning anger inside of me only grew, my yellow eyes stared into the Shinobi before me as if I was looking into their souls.

First servants, now children?

Haha, what's next, infants? You are pathetic!

There was 10 of them, shinobi armed to the teeth. Some with swords, some holding kunai, wearing their flak jackets and headbands and obviously prepared for battle. They killed without honour, without a care for those that couldn't properly defend themselves. They killed my mother and my sister once before, but I had the chance to fix this, I was going to kill every last one of them.

"You're all going to die. . ."

I slowly raised the katana in front of my chest, my left hand now gripping the hilt, taking the traditional stance my Grandfather had taught me,

". . . Every last one of you. You're fucking dead . . ."

Hahahaha! Do you hear hi-

His words were cut short as my blade sliced clean through his throat, sending a spray of blood into all his comrades behind him. I had moved in a burst of speed too quick for any of them to comprehend, he was dead before he could even finish his thought, let alone his sentence. His still beating heart sent blood spraying from the slash in his neck, covering the walls, the ninja, and even myself in the warm liquid - and I found myself enjoying this . . . killing him, it felt right.

What the he-

I seamlessly transitioned to the next closest shinobi, they were only now catching onto my movements, but by then I had drove my weapon into his stomach, straight through and into the man behind him; impaling them both. I moved with an agility and accuracy that could only be attained by years of training, a level of swordplay these ninja couldn't hope to achieve - I was showing them what a Samurai was capable of.

I pulled my blade out of the two ninja, running up the first one's body as he fell, springing myself off his shoulders; sending me right into the bunch of them. My body seemed as if it was moving on its own, my killer instinct and hatred for these men guiding me, guiding the motions of my blade as I spun and twisted, landing clean strikes to 4 more ninja. I was sure to severe an artery or pierce an organ with each strike as I moved through the room, taking them down one by one - whether they knew it or not, they were dead already.

It only took me a few moments, but at the end of it all I would stand on the opposite side of the room, the flames now engulfing the walls to my sides. Behind me all 10 of them laid on the ground, large wounds forcing them all to bleed to death as they groaned in pain, unable to move, let alone fight back. I could have killed them all cleanly and painlessly, but I wanted them to suffer, I wanted them to watch all their blood leak onto the floor beneath them - I wanted them to die just like Miyo had to.

"I will never let you hurt anybody ever again . . ."

". . . Never . . ."

I mumbled into my pillow, still entirely consumed by my dream.

Kagirinai Hagane Hitosashi (Endless Steel Dance) [300]
Rank: S
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu / Kenjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Chakra: High x3.
Special: Can only be used once per thread.
Description: Commencing from a standing position, the practitioner gathers a vast amount of focus into their mind, prepared to end the lives of those before him. Then, once the user has unsheathed his blade and focused his chakra into his body, the user then lunges forward rapidly, initiating a sequence of up to ten rapid, but precise attacks. The user and his blade moves like a storm, flashing from one attack to the next relentlessly, the opponents being unable to trace one indistinguishable attack from the next. This is one of the ultimate attacks of Kenjutsu, and relies on complete focus in order to perform the blur of motion correctly. Thought of as the antithesis of 'Hitosashi Tenrai', the two techniques have been known to completely counteract eachother, leaving behind an amazing spectacle of sparks and sword clashes.
Domain: Kenjutsu. Battōjutsu 'S'. 'Sanjuu Kenippen (Triple Blade Slice)'.

Oh sleep. What was better than sleep on a chilly Iron morning? I was wrapped up in multiple layers of fuzzy blankets, curled up on my comfy bed, sound asleep without a care in the world. It was mornings like this where sleeping in felt best, it was so refreshing! So there I'd lay, eyes tightly shut, a small trail of drool running from the corner of my mouth, the slight movement of my chest from my breathing the only indication that I wasn't dead . . .

Wait, where was I? I stood alone in a dark room, or at least I assumed it was a room judging by the wooden floor. I couldn't see anything, the floor was cold, all I could hear was a faint sound in the distance, it sounded like . . . screaming. I spun around, my head looking frantically in all directions for any sign of anything, and then I'd see it, a small bead of bright white light off in the distance. I immediately took off running towards it, that must have been the way out, I literally couldn't see anything else in this room besides that - and the closer I got, the louder the screaming got . . . and then I realized I recognized that voice, it sent shivers down my spine and turned my blood cold,

"MOM?! MOM IS THAT YOU?!"

I ran faster, my curiosity now turning into desperation as the light grew the closer I got to it. Why was she screaming? What was going on? I had never run so fast in my life, and when I finally had gotten to the light, its luminescence grew to blinding levels, my hands immediately shot up to cover my eyes. But when I would lower them again I would realize I was in a different room, a familiar room. And when I would look over to my eyes, I would realize where I was, I would realize where the screaming was coming from . . . my mother was slumped over Miyo's body, the kunai that was lodged in her throat now sitting in a pool of blood, she was screaming at the top of her lungs.

"Mom! Mom, what is happening?!"

I asked her the question, but I knew the answer. I had been here before, I had lived this already, and I knew what was to come next.

Isamu! Get down!

"No! Mom, we have to get out of here!"

But Miyo! She . . . She . . .

"She's dead, Mom . . ."

Just saying it was hard, even though I knew. I could feel the growing lump in my throat, the uneasiness of my stomach,

". . . We can't do anything now Mom, I have to protect you!"

Then all of a sudden we would be rocked by an explosion coming from the opposite side of the house, the force enough to knock me off my feet and into the pool of my sister's blood. It was still warm, and it covered my white kimono from head to toe, only smearing even worse as I tried to frantically wipe it off my face and arms.

Isamu they are here!

My mother stood up and ran to the other side of the room, grabbing a sword off the wall - my father's sword, kept here in his honour. I knew what she was trying to do, I knew what she had intended. She wanted to cut me and fake my death, but this time was different, I was going to protect her . . .

"Mother . . ."

I rose slowly, a raging fire burning inside me, growing with each passing second,

". . . Stay with Miyo."

I reached out and took the katana from her, the feel of the sword comfortable and familiar, as if it was an extension of my arm,

"I won't let anything happen to you, not again . . ."

I walked slowly to the door, my bare feet trailing bloody footsteps behind me,

". . . Not again . . ."

It seemed he really didn't get it, did he? And now he was going to pay the price for his ignorance. Twice I had tried to peacefully communicate with this Shinobi scum, and both times he spat in my face with his disrespectful tone, words and body language, even after I had approached him directly. I had only requested to ask him some questions, and he instead chose to try and be a tough guy, and now he was going to realize what a horrible mistake that was.

My reaction came right after his first sentence, and it was decided right then and there that I would end his life. My honour would not allow him to step on my family's name, to belittle the Samurai and our way of life, and to do it so boldly in the face of the Shogun's grandson in our own country. He was going to die in this pub by my hands.

"I see . . ."

And then it would happen. In the blink of an eye I would unsheathe my blade, thrust it to his chest, and have it back where it was before he'd even be able to realize what had happened. Considering the large gap in speed, the fact we were face to face, and the technique itself, it was nearly impossible for him to anticipate or avoid - and thus, it was all too likely the sword would be driven straight through his chest like a hot knife through butter, slicing through anything that would get in its path, his heart in particular.

Assuming all had went as planned - which I imagined it would - I would turn around slowly, holding out my hand as one of the guards retrieved my jacket. As I slowly put it on I would continue talking, that sense of authority in my voice as strong as ever,

"Oda, search him for anything valuable and then drag his body outside . . ."

I took a few steps towards the door, continuing as I moved,

". . . Aki, see if these people know anything. The next round is on me."

It was the least I could do after having to inconvenience them with a sight like that, but I'm sure they too were sick of Shinobi, there was what felt like a growing lack of patience with their kind all throughout the country. With my business done for the moment, I would step out the door, awaiting for the return of my bodyguard's and then back out into the countryside, the Shinobi's corpse leaving a red trail in the snow as Oda dragged him along.

Kyuushen (Weapon Sharpness) [625]
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary.
Range: -
Chakra: Mid to cast and sustain.
Special: This ability determines the strength (cutting power) of all sub-chakra techniques. Likewise, it determines how sharp they are capable of making their own sword.
D: The d-rank version of this technique marginally increases the blade’s cutting strength, allowing easy passage through leather-based armor.
C: The c-rank version of this technique moderately increases the blade’s cutting strength, allowing it to easily dig into steel-based armor.
B: The b-rank version of this technique greatly increases the blade’s cutting strength, allowing easy passage through steel armor and weaponry (up to six inches thick).
A: The a-rank version of this technique vastly increases the blade’s cutting strength, allowing easy passage through large obstructions (such as trees, boulders, concrete, etc up to two feet thick).
S: The s-rank version of this technique increases the blade’s cutting strength to peerless levels. At this rank, the sword can effortlessly pass through elementary chakra-infused barriers (equivalent to the blade’s length) and any other man-made materials.
Description: A basic training technique that supplements all of the Samurai's chakra creations, this will determine the sharpness and strength behind their chakra manipulation. By coating their weaponry in chakra, the user can increase the sharpness of their blade indefinitely.
Domain: Naideshou Gonyuu.

Senkou Zuki (Flash Thrust) [450]
Rank: A x 3
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu / Kenjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Chakra: High x2.
Special: Can only be used once per thread, plus one more each time retrained.
Description: Using a vast amount of mental focus, the practitioner nearly-instantaneously draws, thrusts at an opponent and sheathes again, all in the blink of an eye. It is fabled that even the famed Sharingan has had trouble following a blade swung under such pretenses.

Cunning Mind
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Passive / Specialized Taijutsu / Kendo
Range: 0-5 Meters
Chakra: N/A
Special: Allows the user to become highly perceptive of their opponent, allowing them to analyze their mannerisms in order to zone in on weaknesses and vulnerable areas to strike. It is important to note that while this does not automatically grant the user evasion against one single attack, this allows the user to have a much, much improved chance at understanding a Taijutsu attack one rank lower than the highest one known.
Description: Through repeated duals, clashing of swords and study of adversaries, the user has gained an uncanny knack for analysis. This manifests itself in numerous ways, such as discovering hidden weaknesses, finding vulnerable points in both weapons and attire as well determining the opportune moment to strike by observing patterns.
Domain: Kendo.

Tier 1 - Tatsujin-ken Sōgiri: Due to their dedication to the blade, the practitioners techniques cost 1 tier less of chakra to perform.

When one ventured into a foreign land, they were often on their best behaviour. But when you considered the relationship between Samurai and Shinobi, you were usually twice as careful, but this didn't seem to be the case, was it? Not only was this intruder being disrespectful, but he was getting in my guard's face - if only knew how big of a mistake this could turn out to be for him. He obviously didn't know who I was, or how deep into Samurai territory he had gotten, so I was willing to give him a second chance, despite how much that thought alone bothered me to no end,

"It's okay, Oda . . ."

I rose from my seat, taking off my jacket and neatly folding it over my chair, yellow eyes fixated on the masked shinobi as I walked slowly towards him. There was only a few meters between us to begin with, but it seemed he wanted to be disrespectful and have me come to him - for now, I had no problems doing just that, and with a nod of my head I would dismiss my guard to the table, although they would both keep a keen eye on the man.

"You must not know where you are, shinobi . . ."

I inched closer, now face-to-face with the man, the large size difference not intimidating me in the least,

". . . Around here, the Samurai are treated with respect, especially when addressing the Hoshimitsu family."

The name probably didn't mean much to him, but in these parts everybody knew that name, that much was noticeable by the way the patrons immediately turned their heads upon hearing it, the room being filled with whispers,

"I'll let that go, since you obviously aren't from around here. Now take a seat, I'd like to ask you some questions. "

My tone wasn't a threatening one, but one that held a natural authority to it, one that reflected my confidence and the fact that I wasn't playing around. He was either going to peacefully listen, or there was going to be a problem - because unlike my well disciplined guards, I wasn't going to put up with a ninja getting in my face.

As much as I loved my home, sometimes this weather was just ridiculous. I was never one for extreme heat OR cold, and even though I had gotten used to it considering I lived here my whole life, it didn't make it any less miserable! Yet, despite the dreadful blizzards, I couldn't help but still love it all . . . I mean, home is home after all.

"Well, I suppose this place looks as good as any"

My Grandpa had sent me out here to investigate rumours of supernatural creatures in the area. Apparently, villagers were disappearing all over the place, and although I dismissed the idea of monsters entirely, I knew that if people were going missing there had to be SOMETHING going on! And so I walked, left hand gripping the hilt of my katana, my right lazily hanging at my side. As usual, I was accompanied by a pair of bodyguards, I mean it was the only way I'd be able to go anywhere, let alone to investigate something!

"So what do you guys think? Bandits maybe? Or . . ."

I paused mid-sentence as we walked the narrow path towards the pub, somebody in particular catching my attention as they walked in,

". . . Shinobi"

That word came out with a particular venom in my mouth, as if I couldn't even stand saying it. It was safe to say I held a bias against them, and with these rumours and what looked like a shinobi in town, I had come to a pretty quick conclusion - but even with that, I had to be certain, I mean what would Grandpa think if I messed up this simple task?

With swift steps I'd carry myself to the entrance of the building, pushing the door open and being hit with a wave of much welcomed heat. I'd pull down the hood of my jacket, motioning with a nod of my head to a table where my guards and myself could take a seat, one accompanying me and the other making a beeline for the shinobi. By the time I'd gotten comfortable, the waterfall ninja would feel a firm hand grab his shoulder from behind,

"Isamu-sama would like to speak with you"
