Training Ground Nine - Team 9 Team Training (Noharu, Ahmya, Diana & Quinton)

Name: Kumo-Ryu
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: D
Class: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Self, Varies

Description: Kumo-Ryu is the signature kenjutsu of Arashi Clan swordsmen and involves the utilization of speed with momentum to generate enough force to displace the user's body while combating opponents. It was first utilized by Haru Arashi after she looted the body of a particularily strong swordsman, after studying it she decided to create a fighting style which could be combined with the Molting Step to great effect. Kumo-Ryu can be used with 5 different weapons certain techniques being exclusive to certain weapons these are; Chokuto, Tanto, Arashi Blade, Arashi Club & the Arashi Tomahawk. This displacement results in forced movement allowing them to alter their movement mid motion as well as accelerate, ascend, decelerate and turn at speeds that they do not usually possess. This momentum is generated through constant motion each post (total) by means of running or Molting Steps before suddenly halting the rapid change from active to passive being the strength of this kenjutsu style. Each of these techniques consume what is called, "Momentum Tokens", which is essentially the built up momentum from the constant movement in order to utilize the kata comprising this kenjutsu style. By spending additional momentum tokens than the required amount the techniques are empowered, boosting the speed they are preformed or damage dealt turning basic swings into deadly strikes.
Time Spent Moving - Normal Speed Bonus - M. S. Bonus = Momentum Tokens
1 Post - D-rank +1 - M.S +1 = 1,2 or 3
2 Posts - C-rank +2 - Cat 1 +2 = 2,4 or 6
3 Posts - B-rank +3 - Cat 2 +3 = 3,9 or 9
4 Posts - A-rank +4 - Cat 3 +4 = 4,8 or 12
5 Posts - S-rank +5 - Cat 4 +5 = 5,10 or 15
6 Posts - SS-rank +6 - Cat 5 +6 = 6,12 or 18
Each Step taken while using Molting Step moving adds +1 additional Momentum Token.
+2 Additional Momentum Tokens boosts the Spd of the Techinque by 1.
+4 Additional Momentum Tokens boosts the Dmg of the Techinque by 1.
+6 Additional Momentum Tokens boosts the Spd & Dmg of the Techinque by 1.
Note - Still Affected by Recoil.

Name: Shizukana Shi
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: D-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Shizukana Shi, also known as Quiet Death is the Arashi Clan signature fighting style. For generations the Arashi clan has worked tirelessly to create a method of dispatching opponents that it would become their trademark. Such an opportunity was granted when Rayne Arashi created Molting Step. The premise was simple a sudden coiling of the muscles before moving caused opponents who were not focusing intently on him to be unable to track his movement. It's drawback however was that it was easily able to be detected by those with Muscle Tension or time-slowing dojutsu as well as the distance it could cover with one movement. Shizukana Shi was the systematic refinement of fighting opponents using Molting Step revolving around assassination without the opponent, not only, noticing what killed them but those around the target not hearing the death in question.

Name: Denkou Style Kenjutsu: Lunar Needle Barrage
Classification: Kenjutsu/Shurikenjutsu
Rank: C-rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Contact (Slash), Short (Knock-Back), Mid (Senbon)

Description: Based on the principle of Denkou Style Kenjutsu of mixing high speed Kenjutsu with the perception ability of their Raidengan in order to read an opponents movements and strike true the user moves forward and delivers a quick slashing attack with her/his sword, pushing the opponent away from her unless they possess C-rank strength to lock themselves in place over a distance of 20ft. She/he then leaps high into the air above the opponent (15ft high) and removes the ornamental needles in her/his hair (typically senbon) before throwing them downward in a fast-moving barrage (Bullet Release speeds) using their Raidengan to accurately predict where their victims would end up due to the knockback preventing dodging unless the victim has a C-rank or above Air-Movement technique + C-rank reaction or 1-rank higher speed than the slash was dealt at. This technique lands a fairly large number of hits upon the opponent dependent on the user's skill level due to the number of senbon capable of being thrown at once, likewise the slash itself deals C-rank slicing damage.
Rank - No of Senbon Launched at Once Per Hand
D - 1 (2 in total)
C - 2 (4 in total)
B - 3 (6 in total)
A - 4 (8 in total)
S - 5 (10 in total)

Name: Twin Moon Dance: Crescent Routine
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: C-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: The Denkou user, moves their body in an elaborate playful dance step resulting in opponents reliant on muscle tension to be unable to predict their movements, due to being a dance it is tiring and Denkou without C-rank Endurance Tiers will consume double (2x) the stamina in comparison to the normal use of speed when using this technique. Likewise it can be used as a subtitute for C-rank speed tiers by those of the Denkou Clan with most female Denkou preferring to learn the Twin Moon Dance over the usual method of bolstering their speed through training.

C-rank Speed used to block slash with Chokuto (Durability enough to ignore C-rank Slashing Damage from strike), Quinton is knocked back 20 ft at C-rank speed.

Kumo-Ryu Momentum Token Calculation:
P.T Moving = 1 (2 on Your Post)

Quinton can produce 4 Nimbus every P.T while in combat:
Current Total = 4 (8 on your post)

Name: Nimbus: Cloud Generation
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: D
Class: Passive
Range: Self, Varies

Description: The Arashi are capable of producing pearly white Materia known as Nimbus which resemble clouds which manifest when the user is focused or emotional. Often called Nimbus clouds, they are integral to the use of Storm Release as an Arashi Clan member will shape Nimbus and may or may not saturate them with chakra to give rise to Storm Release techniques. Nimbus clouds are controlled telekinetically having a deep connection with an Arashi's mental state and each Arashi is able to produce and control more Nimbus clouds as they grow more skilled (rank). Similarily they all have a max threshold of Nimbus that they can control on the field at once without strain, under normal circumstances without resulting in self harm this can not be exceeded. When Nimbus are used up in Storm Release techniques however it eases the mind allowing more Nimbus to be produced when "space" is made available.
Rank - Production (Post Total) - Max Threshold
D - 1 - 20
C - 2 - 30
B - 3 - 40
A - 4 - 50

C rank blood used to move at B+ speeds. Quinton requires Time-Slowing Dojutsu to accurately gauge her movement and he requires Reaction Tiers equal rank (Or the Raidengan or a Premonition/Precognition Dojutsu) to the user's speed to predict her movements.

Displacement Aura used to extend the range of her attack to +1 feet.

Diana aims to impale Quinton's shoulder with the katana while using her Wakizashi to shred his clothing.


Name: Displacement Aura
Classification: Taijutsu (Cypher Only)
Rank: D-rank
Class: Passive
Range: Self (Aura), Contact

Description: This technique stems from the amount of willpower people put into their blows, Cypher have learned to harness this willpower and translate it into a sort of an invisible physical aura which allows them to extend the range of their Taijutsu and Kenjutsu by 1 foot. Meaning if the blow seems like it didn't connect due to the opponent narrowly dodging it the blow will still hit them albeit at a 1-rank lower than the original damage simply due to the physical aura which envelops them in battle. This makes engaging in a physical battle with a Cypher a very high risk for amateurs in close ranged combat.


Name: Crescent Moon Edge (Signature)
Classification: Fighting Style (T.A.T. Denkou Only)
Rank: B-rank
Class: Supplementary/Defensive
Range: Self (Req. 1 Denkou Tanto & 1 Denkou Tanto)

Description: This additional stance is a hybrid of Twin Moon Stance Denkou Style Kenjutsu with an Isley Family Kenjutsu by the name of the Stumbling Edge originated by Xan Ibwa. Being his apprentice and heir to his legacy Hiro was able to combine the two to make improvements of both taking aspects and forging them into this lethal kenjutsu fighting style.  In this stance the user wields two blades of differing lengths rather than twin blades, foregoing the use of hand seals in exchange for a defensive style of Kenjutsu. The Crescent Moon Edge style was created with the user possessing Shunpo as a result despite seemingly blending dance with clumsiness it is rather odd to watch performed as the user is prone to teetering as if drunk and then suddenly speeding up to capitalize on an opponent. It is initiated by the user putting one foot in front of the other resulting in a twirling fall motion while simultaneously smoothing drawing out the two blades. Like the original spins can be added to any of the Denkou Style Kenjutsu once this technique is learned in order to deal more grievous wounds to inflict constant bleed damage on opponents. However, if the user spins too much they become dizzy resulting in them falling which is the point, as Shunpo is initiated from falls and due to that while dizzy, Shunpo can be utilized as a form of movement with no ill effects, unlike movement via normal speed tiers. However, with the possession of Dual Wielding the kenjutsu strikes dealt with the Wakizashi always require 1-rank higher Speed to dodge due to being smaller and lighter than the Tanto. Due to this technique being geared at not having a solid footing shines when the user is not Dizzy as techniques which result in knockback can also be utilized to perform Shunpo equal rank or lower than said knockback inducing technique in exchange for negating or reducing the knockback (respectively)

Name: Denkou Style Kenjutsu: Waxing Dash
Classification: Kenjutsu
Original Rank: B
Count: 0/5
Current Rank: B
Class: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Mid (Dash), Contact (Katana), Close (Wakizashi)

Description: Req. Crescent Moon Blade & a source of light. Based on the principle of Denkou Style Kenjutsu of mixing high speed Kenjutsu with the perception ability of their Raidengan in order to read an opponents movements and strike true the user pitches forward stumbling only to launch themselves forward to cover 30ft while spinning like a drill. Their Katana is pointed straight forward in order to deal piercing damage while their Wakizashi is held horizontally in order to deal slashing damage thus this technique deal two counts of damage the first being B-rank piercing physical damage, and the second being B-rank slicing damage which is per spin. The piercing damage is capable of impaling a target while the slicing damage affects anyone within 3ft of the moving user and requires A-rank speed to successfully avoid being cut up. Victims who are impaled by the katana are unable to dodge the Wakizashi's slashes on account of being impaled and thus unable to escape unless they possess enough strength to break the katana impaling them. Regardless of their actions upon being impaled they begin to lose a D-rank of blood and if they remove the katana it increases to a C-rank of blood each P.T if not healed. Depending on the number of spins done while impaling a target or simply inflicted while dashing past targets determines any additional bleed dmg (to the impaled target) or the bleed dmg inflicted on those victims the user dashed past.

Description: Req. Shunpo & Crescent Moon Edge. This movement style was created due to Hiro not wanting to make use of the Twin Moon Dance in general use, he figured it was too girly and sensual and much preferred the use of Shunpo to it. However Xan had a reason for forcing him to learn it which he discovered when trying to mix the two together. He wanted him to learn how to move fluidly and gracefully in an unpredictable fashion. This style was made to complement the Crescent Moon Edge style of Kenjutsu and is fatiguing to the body as without endurance tiers the user will consume double the fatigue by attempting to use it at all. However it is superior to both of it's components by virtue of allowing the user when it is in use to match Samurai Level Speed yet remain unable to be read by those with Muscle Tension at the cost of a blood price in the case of the latter. Due to this increase in speed it is even difficult for those with Time-Slowing Dojutsu to accurately gauge the user's movement as they require Reaction Tiers equal rank (Or the Raidengan or a Premonition/Precognition Dojutsu) to the user's speed to predict his/her movements.

Storm Radius = 160 ft around Quinton
Total Nimbus = 12 (1 Used as platform, 1 previously used as Distraction, 10 Morphed into Blade Projectile)
Bladed Projectile (Shuriken) Nimbus launched at Diana (each deal D-rank Storm Release physical damage if they hit)

Kumo-Ryu Momentum Token Calculation:
P.T Moving = 3 (4 on Your Post)
Speed Moving = C (2)
Glint Beheading = -3 M. Tokens
Total Momentum Tokens Generated this Turn = 3 (4 on your post)

Quinton can produce 4 Nimbus every P.T while in combat (Max Total without strain = 40):
Current Total = 12 (16 on your post)

If Forced to use Molting Step then:
Unbreakable Step Minimizing = -8 Steps to Cover Distance
Step Quartering = 3 D-ranks of Blood Per Step
Molting Step: Category 2 = 1 Step to cover 35 ft in a single P.T at Crashing Ground Speeds
Diana can cover 15 ft in 1 P.T moving at Crashing Going Speeds (Hoho)
Quinton attempted to Blind Diana within 10 ft while using Nimbus to bombard her, if unsuccessful uses Molting Step.
Thus Quinton moving backwards avoids the piercing attack by a distance of ~10 ft on your post.

Name: Nimbus: Storm Radius
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: D-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self, Clouds (AOE)

Description: It is a common misconception that the Arashi clan are capable of controlling the Nimbus they produce no matter what. This is actually not true as every Arashi while being able to control their Nimbus Clouds telekinetically, can only do so within a certain radius. Exceeding that radius results in the clouds dispersing as the Arashi Clan member is unable to exert the control necessary to keep it in being. As the Arashi Clan member becomes more skilled however the radius that they can control Nimbus clouds expands.
Rank - Radius of Control (ft) - Sphere of Control (Radius)
D - 20 - 40
C - 40 - 80
B - 60 - 120

Name: Nimbus: Morphing
Classification: Kenjutsu/Shurikenjutsu/Kyujutsu
Rank: C-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self (Clouds)

Description: An Arashi with sufficient practice can learn how to morph a Nimbus into another shape, it was on this premise that this skill was created by generations of Arashi clan members. The user is capable of altering the shape of the Nimbus into a weapon, whether a melee weapon such as a sword, a projectile such as a shuriken or a ranged weapon such as a bow with additional clouds being used as ammo. All the weapons made keep the durability of the cloud that they were made from and they are extremely light due to being made form the Nimbus. Despite that they are able to be used in place of the weapon that they were shaped to be dealing Storm Release Physical Damage when used in combat.
Rank - Type of Weapon Capable of Being Formed
D - Melee (Blunt)
C - Melee (Bladed)
B - Projectile (Blunt)
A - Projectile (Bladed)
S - Ranged + Ammo

Name: Nimbus: Cloud Control II
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: C-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self (Clouds)

Description: Sharply contrasting with their ability to produce Nimbus is the percentage of Arashi who are actually able to finely control them in battle. When this technique isn't learned the fastest Nimbus is only capable of moving at Swift Release speed. Once learned however it affects not only the speed that Nimbus Clouds can move but likewise the speeds that they can be manipulated to change in density, size and shape. More importantly this technique was learned by Arashi due to it's ability to speed up the time that a Storm Release technique can be weaved together to C-rank Levels.

Name: Kumo-Ryu: Glint Beheading
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: C (3 Momentum Tokens Req.)
Class: Offensive
Range: Short [Tanto/Blade/Tomahawk]

Description: The users uses their weapon to reflect a beam of light into an opponents eyes within 10 ft temporarily blinding them in order to leave them open for the follow up slash. This technique can be utilized in conjunction with any of the other Kumo-Ryu line of techniques in one smooth movement, the blind effect requiring reaction tiers equal to the user's current movement speed when they are using this technique for a target to close their eyes in time to avoid it, on normal opponents this technique blinds them for 2 posts (total) however on Dojutsu users due to their enhanced perception the blindness affects them for double the length of time. Those who are blind or manage to avoid getting the glint in their eyes are immune to the blindness added effect. This technique due to requiring light can only be preformed in an area which is lighted or has some source of light to reflect.

Name: Molting Step
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: D-rank (D-rank Blood Price Each Step taken)
Class: Supplementary
Range: Short

Description: Molting Step revolves around the user first hyperventilating in order to increase the heart rate thus allowing their blood to flow quicker through their body. The user then follows up by coiling the muscles in their legs before kicking off the ground and crossing a set distance at high speeds before taking another step. This distance is constant regardless of the speed used, with higher speed having the distance they are capable of travelling in a single post (total) being directly added onto this technique. During this movement opponents without D-rank Reaction Tiers, 1-rank Higher Speed, Muscle Tension or a Time-Slowing Dojutsu are unable to track their movement. This technique sets the precedent for all Categories (advanced variations) that come after it. As the user becomes more skilled at the use of Molting Step they can increase their distance however those Arashi Clan members who were unfortunate enough to be born with damaged chakra coils are capable of mastering it further by reducing the number of steps taken over said distance.
Rank - Distance (ft) - No of Steps Per Distance (Normal/PAT/TAT)
D - 5 - 1/1/1
C - 10 - 3/2/2
B - 15 - 6/4/3
A - 20 - 9/6/4

Name: Molting Step: Category 2
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: B-rank (1 C-rank Blood Price Each Step taken)
Class: Supplementary
Range: Short

Description: This is an improved version of Molting Step increasing the speed that the user moves while simultaneously causing those who aren't focusing on the user (B-rank Reaction Tiers) to be unable to detect their movement (Req. Heightened Hearing to hear steps). The main improvement however is by combining it with Shizukana Shi: Silent Movement allowing the user to use them simultaneously resulting in a silent movement technique which is primarily used by the Arashi in place of a speed tier. When using this technique slower than usual (Category 1 or Molting Step) for the same price, double/triple the distance can be covered for the same number of Steps.

Name: Daybreak Demon Barrage
Classification: Ronin Tech
Rank: C
Class: Offensive
Range: Short

Description: Daybreak Demon Barrage was a technique used by demon Snow which was named by Ahmya, the technique can be used anytime demon snow is summoned, Since it is rare for demon snow to use her hand catching an opponent with this technique is definitely a challenge as she would have to be fast then them or completely catch them off guard which is hard for someone of her size. The technique begins as Demon Snow balls her fist up then lunge her fist forward over a short range distance at a speed she possess, then she repeatedly repeats to throw punches at her target dealing 2 D-ranks of hybrid damage per punch, The amount of punches depend completely on the rank of Ahmya; throwing 3 punches as an academy student while as a hunter nin captain or clan head she throws 15 punches. This technique comes with a cooldown of 4 Post.

Description: Ahmya has been given a lot of qualities and traits through-out her life; one of the things which was passed down from her father was the Speed at which she can move at which was water down from her mother’s lack of speed tiers. This trait her father gave her allows her to move at C- speeds but due to Demon Snow Tying her life with Ahmya, She received the better portion of this trait allowing her to move C++ when she is within 5Ft, within 10 Ft she moves at C+, within 20 Ft she moves at C, any where outside of 20 Ft C-.

ame: Blaze o’ fist
Classification: Soul Tech
Rank: C
Class: Offensive
Range: Contact - Mid

Description: Ahmya’s Soulless Gene allows her to rapidly use techniques from her soul orb without the use of hand seals that trouble others like ninja, in order to show her dominance in that reguard she channels a C-rank of blaze release chakra onto her fist before throwing out a 5 foot tall fist into the direction of her choice. The fist is faster the closer it is to the point it was released from moving at C++ over the first 2 feet, while moving to the 10 feet marker it travels at C+ speed, after that it travels at C rank speed until dispersing into thin air after reaching 20 feet from the point it was fire at. This technique can be used to disrupt a ninja’s handseal if they either to slow to respond or simply choose not, if that is the cause they receive 3 D-rank of blaze release chakra damage every post unless it is healed by a C-rank chakra based technique or a D-rank which string against blaze.

Name: Blaze Splatter
Classification: Soul Tech
Rank: C
Class: Offensive
Range: Contact - Mid

Description:Ahmya has developed a few techniques from her academy days which then was very playful and childish but seemed to mature into quite the move. It begins as she stomps or taps her feet against the ground, nearly instantly blaze release chakra engulfs up to a 20 feet radius from her at speeds equal to her rank, Those who are caught within her blaze release receive 3 D-ranks of blaze release damage unless dealt with by a C-rank techniques neutral to blaze or a D-rank technique strong against blaze release; The blaze disperse After 2 post at D-rank and after 10 post at S-rank.

Quinton can produce 4 Nimbus every P.T while in combat:
Current Total = 8 (12 on your post)
Used 6 to Block Daybreak Demon Barrage: 2 D-rank of Hybrid is on par with D-rank Physical durability thus a single Nimbus is capable of blocking 1 punch
Layered 2 together (Boosts Nimbus durability to 3 D-ranks) and used Nimbus Alteration to shrink Nimbus to 5 ft (Humanoid = Quinton is 34 so his base size for his Nimbus are Medium S so roughly 8 ft) & used that to block Blaze o' fist.

Quinton has Indomitable Will (Thus D-rank Chakra Based Damage are blocked)

Name: Nimbus: Alteration
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: B-rank
Class: Supplementary/Passive
Range: Self (Clouds)

Description: The average Arashi Clan member produces Nimbus Clouds which are the size of a small creature, this changes as they grow older becoming larger over time if they keep practicing at it. There is a way however that the size can be manipulated further either by shrinking or stretching the cloud this depends on the user's skill level. Stretching or Shrinking a cloud has no effect on it's durability or other functions beyond making it a bigger or smaller target despite that many Arashi Clan members learn how to do this out of sheer boredom.
Age - Size of Nimbus = Rank - Min Size - Max Size
9 - Small = D - Tiny - Humanoid
18 - Humanoid = C - Tiny - Medium (S)
27 - Medium (S) = B - Small - Medium (M)
36 - Medium (M) = A - Small - Medium (XL)
45+ - Medium (L) = S - Humanoid - Medium (XL)

Name: Nimbus: Layering
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: A-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self (Clouds)

Description: Due to their natural ability to exert themselves in order to boost the durability of their Nimbus most Arashi did not realize that there was an additional means of doing so. The first user of this technique was Haru Arashi one of the members of the Storm Corps. She layered one of her Nimbus clouds over another before twisting them together causing them to mix resulting in a darker Nimbus tinted slightly gray. Curiosity resulted in her doing it over again with another two clouds resulting in the same thing occuring, it was only until she layered the two gray clouds together than it changed once more now producing an even darker tinted Nimbus. This this technique was born, when layering Nimbus together it produces a denser version which possesses increased durability at the cost of being unable to seperate the clouds comprising it. This layered cloud when used in Storm Release techniques is always worth the amount used to form it, however due to not creating a new cloud but rather layering them over one another each one takes as much "Space" as the amount of Nimbus used to form them.
No. Nimbus Layered - Color of Layered Nimbus - Durability

Name: Second Reaction
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank:C-rank
Class:Supplementary
Range:N/A

Description: Cypher naturally have better reaction speed and have inbuilt senses which allow them to detect small changes and point out things that seem out of the ordinary. This sense of battle grants them the ability to react to C-rank speeds even if they don't possess sped tiers and detect opponents who are being hidden by C-rank hiding techniques. In addition when they do possess speed tiers it gives them the ability to react to speeds up to 1 rank above their own as long as it doesn't exceed their rank.

Nimbus impact the ground when Diana leaps back to dodge them & deal D-rank Storm Release damage to floor before dispersing. Newly manifested Nimbus left in a straight line
1. Within 5 ft of Quinton
2. 5 ft away from the 1st thus is ~10 ft away from Quinton
3. ~15 ft away from Quinton
4. ~20 ft away from Quinton


Step Beheading, requires a Time-Slowing Dojutsu in order to detect Quinton's slash & requires Crashing Ground Speed (B+) to dodge it. If Diana lack this she will be hit, though if she can see the technique but is not fast enough to dodge it she can still either: block. sustain a glancing blow or figure out some other method of avoidance which doesn't rely on movement speed such as body replacement.

Kumo-Ryu Momentum Token Calculation:
P.T Moving = 1 (2 on Your Post)
Speed Moving = B (3)
Step Beheading = -4
Total Momentum Tokens Generated this Turn = 4
Remaining Momentum Tokens = 0 (1 on your post)

Quinton can produce 4 Nimbus every P.T while in combat (Max Total without strain = 40):
Current Total = 4 (8 on your post)

Quinton uses Molting Step to close the distance:
Unbreakable Step Minimizing = -8 Steps to Cover Distance
Step Quartering = 3 D-ranks of Blood Per Step
Molting Step: Category 2 = 1 Step to cover 35 ft in a single P.T at Crashing Ground Speeds

Name: Kumo-Ryu: Step Beheading
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: B (4 Momentum Tokens Req.)
Class: Offensive
Range: Short [Tanto/Blade/Tomahawk]

Description: The user utilizes the Molting Step technique before capitalizing on the additional momentum the high speed movement technique generates to unleash a high speed slash on a target before slowing back down to normal levels of speed. This technique is unable to be seen with normal vision requiring a muscle tension or a time-slowing dojutsu in order to see the incoming slash. Opponents who can see the slash can dodge it if they possess Crashing Ground speed. Opponents without a means of tracking the incoming slash can only dodge this technique to receive a glancing blow if they have 1-rank higher speed than the user or can completely avoid it if they have 2-ranks higher speed.

Range: Self

Description: The originator of the infamous Geka Seido Fighting Style was none other than the patriarch of the Isley that changed the face of their Kenjutsu forever: Xander I. Isley. However, before he could create that style he had to first search for the origins of Iaido, unearthing the ancient Kenjutsu art of Batto. Unrefined Batto is applicable to any sort of Kenjutsu as it is simply the art of drawing a blade to initiate and attack in one fluid motion and to sheathe said blade in such a way that it seems as if the user hasn't unsheathed it at all while flicking any lingering blood away in the process. The speed of the draw is so quick that depending on the spacing it can outspeed incoming kenjutsu techniques to finish drawing to intercept them before they reach the individual. Likewise due to this speed draw it actually requires a Time-Slowing Dojutsu with Reaction Tiers (such as the Raidengan), Iai Prediction/Precognition + Muscle Tension, or reaction tiers above the user's speed to actually see the blade as it's being drawn. To all others they either only see the blade when it is drawn (Time-Slowing, Equal Rank Reaction, Muscle Tension, Iai Prediction/Precognition, Equal Sensory Mediums etc), or are unable to comprehend when the user draws their weapon if lacking some form of sensory.

Description: Adhering to the principles of Kendo, the user attacks with his sword, reacting to an opponent trying to capitalize on an opening left on purpose by their Kendo. The user stabs downward planting their blade into the ground, balances himself on it and kicking his opponent 3 feet away unless they possess C-rank strength to root themselves in place. The kick is usually aimed at the upper abdomen up until the neck area as often due to the position it is difficult to see coming (Time-Slowing can see it). This is the Kendo version of Heel kick which is notable due to the method by which it is preformed, it is a counter attack and often when stabbing downward it impales an opponents arm or weapon to the ground. The downward stab itself deals C-rank defense peircing physical damage while the follow up kick is to increase the D-rank bleed damage from the stab wound to C-rank bleed damage unless they possess a C-rank Strength to grip the blade so it's brought along with them to prevent it from tearing a chunk out of their flesh. On the other hand if targeting a weapon it snaps along the impact point if it is C-rank or below or if it doesn't possesses Physical Resistance C-rank or higher.
