▱▰▱Kenshin sat in his office only three days after he mastered his latest implant. He opened a letter addressed to him from Seizan's municipality. His eyes rolled over the text in surprise because they were offering a reward for his service in the respective wars against the UHV and Kogarashi. While he was reluctant to leave his post for such a long trip he also recognized that it would be disgraceful to deny such an honor. Thinking of Seizan always made him more solemn but nonetheless his gaze turned toward the hallway. He stood up and walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him, with the letter in hand. He found Kojiro's office and placed the letter from Seizan in front of him on the table. "I'm bound by honor to accept this. Will you accompany me?" Kenshin would try to make the trip short to avoid taking time off but he felt that it was prudent to go nonetheless.

Kojiro had been enthralled in the reports from his outing into the Land of Fire. He had spent a great deal of time building profiles for Hachiro and his companion. He would be sure to study Hachiro later, quick to disect details of the fallen hero and learn from their battle. As he sealed the case file along with the profiles the firm footsteps of his teacher would sound in the hallway. Just as the file found it's place in the cabinet, Kenshin would enter and shut the door behind him. Kojiro quickly examined the letter as Kenshin held it before him. " Seems like a good time to visit home I suppose. I haven't been in several months. " he would quickly pack his belongings and ready himself, following Kenshin as they would travel to Seizan.

▱▰▱Kenshin and Kojiro would depart from the front gates at the ground level an hour later. They eventually reached the Seizan gate with the word sent ahead of their estimated time of arrival. Once they entered he spoke with the municipal office for the local government. They had prepared the award ceremony for him already and escorted him to the town hall. Kojiro's family was in the audience as well as several other locals. It all seemed as he would expect with the exception of them handing him a very old katana. He expected a plaque or a trophy of some sort. For his service to Seizan during the UHV and Kogarashi wars as well as his usage of the Tenseigan to restore the damage that was inflicted to the town they gave him a special artifact. Apparently the sword belonged to a great general who was from the Seizan area thousands of years ago. He accepted the sheathed katana with a dragon head with a deep bow. Kenshin handled it carefully because it seemed so fragile. He was impressed by the history of the sword and felt compelled to improve it despite his lack of experience in weaponsmithing. Once the ceremony was over he would approach and bow respectfully to Kojiro's parents. "It's an honor to meet you both. Your son is a fine officer and shinobi." Once he stood fully he sternly awaited their response while carefully holding the katana to his side.

Kojiro stood aside his parents during the ceremony as Kenshin gratefully accepted the offer. With not a moment to spare afterwards, his teacher approached and would greet his parents. Kojiro, unable to get a word in edgewise when home would be immediately cut off before saying a word as his mother spoke up. " A pleasure." She shook Kenshin's hand firmly but did not let go, not yet. She would draw his hand out and examine his palm after turning his wrist. " I see. Seem's the katana isn't your desired method of combat. It's written all over your hands. The calluses don't line up to that kind of sword's handlin" Kojiro would step forward, trying to interject." Ma! Don't be so...direct. At least give Captain Kosei a moment to-" His mother shoo'd him away with her nearest hand as she released Kenshin's. " Pay him n' mind. A fine swordsman like you shouldn't be usin' a rusty ol' wall hanger,I know a few things about that sword there most don't...and I'm more than willing to help ya' for a price."
Kojiro and his father exchanged glances and sighed in unison. It was clear to see that Kojiro favored his father's disposition. Finally, Kojiro's father spoke up. " Sir Kenshin. Please don't feel obligated to help m' wife. She be a little obsessive in her pursuits of smithing." Again, the blacksmithing woman would pipe up. " Now look here you turnip picking ninny, ain't a man who don't work for their supper and I'm exchanging information and trainin' for a good assistant for a couple days....maybe two assistants." She trailed off her last remark as she grinned ominously at Kojiro before chiming in with a second remark. " Might do the boy some good to forge his own steel. This fancy new forgin' method would make a down right heroic piece." If the two would agree, they would head back to the family house for the night where the Kanzaki parents would tell the tale of the sword in detail and Kotami, Kojiro's mother would describe the swords's ability to absorb other weaponry as well as it's lightning like famed attacks. The morn would bring a rather difficult first day if Kenshin would agree to such tasks.

▱▰▱When Kenshin's hand was grabbed by Kojiro's mother and analyzed for callus patterns his stoic face tensed and grew more stern. By the time Kojiro spoke up he snatched his hand away although she was able to keep hold of it for long enough to accurately assess his weapon preference. "Correct. I use rapiers." He mumbled his response out with a frustrated tone but was overly bound by his desire to be respectful to his student's family. When Kojiro's father spoke up Kenshin shook his head. He then began considering her offer more seriously and dismissed his initial discomfort. "Getsuruito hasn't been forged in a millennia. Is it possible to use this new method to temper it without breaking it?" Kenshin knew nothing about blacksmithing but this seemed to be a reasonable question to ask. The idea of improving an ancient weapon did sound like an intriguing opportunity especially considering the incredible legends surrounding the sword. He looked down at the sword's rusty dragon head handle before looking back up and awaiting the eccentric woman's response.

Ma raised an eyebrow when Kenshin tore his hand away, even more so when she had her word doubted. " O'course it is! Getsuruito ain't na ordinary sword there hun." She let loose a deep laughter from her gut. " Ya' gotta have faith in yer steel if you ever want it tempered!" After dinner, the pair of Shinobi would prepare for bed. Kojiro and Kenshin would share a guest room that had been created from Kojiro's old bedroom. With knowledge of the hard day ahead, Kojiro drifted off.
Kojiro would rise before the sun. He moved wearily to the kitchen on the first floor as Kenshin would follow suit. The two would hastily enjoy their coffee and toast before moving outside.

Much to the two's surprise, Ma' had already arrived at the forge and stood at the ready within. " Alright' ye two. Get to preparin' the forge! I expect it to be hot and ready within an hour!"

Kojiro and Kenshin would scrub at the charred stones around the furnace before igniting it. They didn't want the impurities of the last weapon's metals to contaminate the purity of their blades to come. After scrubbing he would move outside the building and ignite the coals below it's structure. To the right of the building was a large stoking tool that would breath life into the embers below the forge. After several attempts, the forge was ignited. [3/3]Preperation[3/4]Assistance After the forge was ignited, Kojiro and Kenshin would hear Ma call again. The two ran back inside hastily. With no time to waste, Ma had tossed several large chunks of iron to the men. " Fold those. Flatten them, strike them in the center to fold, then seal it shut and repeat the process." She commanded. The two would continue to prepare the steel she was working. [1/3] Preperation [4/4 ] Assistance
Kojiro and Kenshin would break from folding the steel and move to a new set of tools. In order to clear the forge for the pieces they would make the two needed to help Ma' finish up her other pieces. While the steel settled the two would go to some steel weaponry that had been worked upon by Ma that needed to be quenched. The two would quench blades one by one. This would bind the iron and carbon in the steel together to make it flexible and give it's edges a hardened toughness. Unfortunately the water well had dried up after the first several quenches. Ma would send the two to the river. [2/3] Preperation [1/3] Gofer
Kojiro and Kenshin would travel down to the river to get water for the quenching process. Each man carried two buckets slung over their shoulders on a pole. The two arrived at the river in the afternoon, roughly four or so. They happily filled their buckets and drank from the river to save themselves from exhaustion. The two enjoyed a short break before returning. [3/3] Preperation [2/3 Gofer ]
The two hastily returned to the forge. The first day of their apprenticeship would be coming to a close soon. They anticipated a few more days of helping out before their time would be rewarded with steel of their own. The water coming off their shoulders would be a relief. The two refilled the quenching well and allowed Ma to finish up her day. They began cleaning in the meantime. [3/3 Gofer ] [1/3] Preperation
Continuing their cleaning of the forge, the two would work hard until the end. Kojiro and Kenshin removed the dead embers from the forge. After that they would scrub the charred bricks as they did when they began. Next the two would rinse their tools to ensure they were in peak physical form. [2/3] Preperation
Finally, the two would mop the floors. This was always the last thing to do. Kojiro and Kenshin assisted in mopping up in order to sanitize the work area. The floors seemed to shine as they would exit. Turning the brass key, Kojiro locked the door as he had opened it before sunrise. Today was a successful day of apprenticeship. Now, it was time to eat!

▱▰▱In the end, Kenshin had no real choice but to accept the offer. The possibility of restoring such a powerful and respected legendary weapon was worth the time off. He just hoped that the time off would pay for itself in an increase in mission performance while using Getsuruito. Kenshin slept in the guest bedroom that night and absorbed as much black coffee as possible with his breakfast the next morning.
Kenshin followed Kojiro outside to the forge. It was still hours ahead of sunrise. This was the time that Kenshin was accustomed to waking for the past several years anyway. Kenshin continued following Kojiro along the path to the smith. He waited for Kojiro to turn the old brass key to unlock the external room. Kenshin would step into the room behind Kojiro. [1/3] Preperation [1/4] Assistance
Kenshin's eyes widened with Kojiro's when the blacksmith had already arrived at the forge and stood at the ready next to it. "Alright' ye two. Get to preparin' the forge! I expect it to be hot and ready within an hour!" Kojiro would take lead of he and Kenshin and show his Master the basics of forge cleaning. Kenshin followed Kojiro's instructions and took great care in his actions. It was unusual for Kojiro to be teaching him how to do a task for once but Kenshin would follow along diligently nonetheless. Intermittently, Ma would pipe up and correct their actions. [2/3]Preperation[2/4]Assistance
Kenshin would scrub at the charred stones around the furnace with Kojiro before igniting it. It would not be ideal for the impurities of the last weapon's metals to contaminate the purity of their blades to come. After scrubbing he watched Kojiro move outside the building and ignite the coals below its structure while Kenshin placed down and meticulously organized the cleaning supplies. To the right of the building was a large stoking tool that would breathe life into the embers below the forge. While Kojiro attempted to ignite the forge several times eventually Kenshin stepped outside to help him. He stood next to him and assisted with lighting the forge. [3/3] Preparation [3/4] Assistance
After the forge was revived, Kenshin would hear Kojiro's mother call again. The two ran back inside hastily with Kenshin following behind Kojiro. With no time to waste, the smith had tossed several large chunks of iron to the men and Kenshin caught them in his arms. " Fold those. Flatten them, strike them in the center to fold, then seal it shut and repeat the process." She commanded and offered answers to Kenshin's questions to make sure he was doing it correctly. The two would continue to prepare the steel she was working. Kenshin worked with Kojiro at the same time but did more of the steel folding while Kojiro did the flattening and striking. [1/3] Preparation [4/4 ] Assistance
Kenshin and Kojiro would break from treating the steel and move to a new set of tools. In order to clear the forge for the pieces, they would make the two needed to help the smith finish up her other pieces. While the steel settled the two would go to some steel weaponry that had been worked upon by Kojiro's mother that needed to be quenched. The two would quench blades one by one. This would bind the iron and carbon in the steel together to make it flexible and give it edges a hardened toughness. Kenshin felt the heat from the forge on his face as he wiped his brow and quenched the swords further. Unfortunately, the water well had dried up after the first several quenches. The smith would send the two to the river. [2/3] Preperation [1/3] Gofer
Kenshin and Kojiro would travel down to the river to get water for the quenching process. Each man carried two buckets slung over their shoulders on a pole. The two arrived at the river in the afternoon, roughly four or so. They quickly filled their massive buckets and drank from the river to save themselves from dehydration. Kenshin splashed away his sweat with the water by washing his face. The two then enjoyed a short break to recuperate before returning. [3/3] Preparation [2/3 Gofer ]
The two shinobi hastily returned to the forge with their filled buckets. The first day of their apprenticeship would be coming to a close soon. They anticipated a few more days of helping out before their time would be rewarded with steel of their own. The water coming off their shoulders would be a relief and served to cool them off. The two refilled the quenching well and allowed the smith to finish up her day. They began cleaning in the meantime so that the forge would be ready for tomorrow. [3/3 Gofer ] [1/3] Preparation
Continuing their cleaning of the forge, the two would work hard until the end. Kenshin and Kojiro removed the dead embers from the forge. Kenshin found a safe spot to dump the embers. After that, they would scrub the charred bricks as they did when they began. Next, the two would rinse their tools to ensure they were in peak physical form. They needed to be so for the next day. [2/3] Preparation
Finally, the two would mop the floors. This was always the last thing to do. Kojiro and Kenshin assisted in mopping up in order to sanitize the work area. The ash that coated the floors was eventually scrubbed off with their tenacious efforts. The floors seemed to shine as they would exit. Turning the brass key, Kojiro locked the door as he had opened it before sunrise. Today was a successful day of apprenticeship but it was clear to Kenshin that this process would require more time. Now, it was mealtime. [3/3] Preparation

In addition, should they unlock the Tenseigan, they may have 50% less reserves to maintain it than other clan members and may also activate the Tenseigan without the use of a hand seal, chakra cost, or activation. • Physical Prowess | The Hyuuga gains a slight increase to reflex OR speed per body rank.

Description: Purity is a white rapier with an ornately designed crossguard with the symbols of Kumogakure and the Kumogakure Police Department (K.P.D.) engraved in serving as a K.P.D. officer sword. The blade itself is thirty-eight inches long and made from steel. The sword is designed for thrusting and parrying and is considerably lightweight.
Ability Summary: • Gentle Touche | By thrusting and spending the chakra and stamina cost of a Gentle Fist technique while applying ten chakra to the blade the Gentle Fist technique can be used through Purity.

These do not consume activations. • Touché | By spending five chakra Purity is able to completely trade physical damage to instead seal tenketsu points and inflict severe pain in the area struck. This simulates the feeling of being pierced with the blade. Slashing attacks can still take effect. This does not consume an activation.

Kojiro would rise before the sun for the last day of their apprenticeship. He moved eagerly to the kitchen on the first floor as Kenshin would follow suit. The two would savor their coffee and toast before moving outside. It was scarcely past four in the morning. The two walked down the path to the forge. Kojiro would turn the old brass key to unlock the external room. [1/3]Preperation [1/4]Assistance
To no surprise, Ma' had already arrived at the forge and stood at the ready within. " Alrigh' ye two. Last day of prepping before we start working on those swords o' yers." Kojiro would take lead of he and Kenshin and show his Master the basics of forge cleaning. Intermittently, Ma would pipe up and correct their actions, admittedly much less than ever before. [2/3]Preperation[2/4]Assistance
Kojiro and Kenshin would scrub at the charred stones around the furnace before igniting it. They didn't want the impurities of the last weapon's metals to contaminate the purity of their blades to come. After scrubbing he would move outside the building and ignite the coals below it's structure. To the right of the building was a large stoking tool that would breath life into the embers below the forge. After several attempts, the forge was ignited. [3/3]Preperation[3/4]Assistance
After the forge was ignited, Kojiro and Kenshin would hear Ma call again. The two ran back inside hastily. With no time to waste, Ma had tossed several large chunks of iron to the men. " Fold those. Flatten them, strike them in the center to fold, then seal it shut and repeat the process." She commanded. The two would continue to prepare the steel she was working. [1/3] Preperation [4/4 ] Assistance
Kojiro and Kenshin would break from folding the steel and move to a new set of tools. In order to clear the forge for the pieces they would make the two needed to help Ma' finish up her other pieces. While the steel settled the two would go to some steel weaponry that had been worked upon by Ma that needed to be quenched. The two would quench blades one by one. This would bind the iron and carbon in the steel together to make it flexible and give it's edges a hardened toughness. Unfortunately the water well had dried up after the first several quenches. Ma would send the two to the river. [2/3] Preperation [1/3] Gofer
Kojiro and Kenshin would travel down to the river to get water for the quenching process. Each man carried two buckets slung over their shoulders on a pole. The two arrived at the river in the afternoon, roughly four or so. They happily filled their buckets and drank from the river to save themselves from exhaustion. The two enjoyed a short break before returning. [3/3] Preperation [2/3 Gofer ]
The two hastily returned to the forge. The first day of their apprenticeship would be coming to a close soon. They anticipated a few more days of helping out before their time would be rewarded with steel of their own. The water coming off their shoulders would be a relief. The two refilled the quenching well and allowed Ma to finish up her day. They began cleaning in the meantime. [3/3 Gofer ] [1/3] Preperation
Continuing their cleaning of the forge, the two would work hard until the end. Kojiro and Kenshin removed the dead embers from the forge.

Today marked the final day. Kojiro would forge his own unique weapon while his master would repair a legendary weapon of the past. The brisk air of the countryside would fill Kojiro's lungs as he burst from the door of the family home, leading the way to the forge.

Kojiro would find it surprising as the heavy brass key tumbled through his fingers, finding it's way into the lock that the forge wasn't lit today. Today, there was no guidance to begin. He turned to Kenshin. " Guess Ma' expects us to prepare our own stations today. " Kojiro smiled, collecting the abundance of materials that he and Kenshin had collected over the past few days. Gathering coals and stoking the forge would begin the preparation of the day.
[2/11 A Major Project ] [2/3 Preperation ] [ 2/8 Actual Smithing! III ] [ 2/10 ] Repairing II ] [ 2/4 Assistance ]
Kojiro would work alongside Kenshin as the two seasoned smiths after their apprenticeship would work in tandom to create marvelous steel today. Handing tools to one another, preparing forges, quenching stations and ensuring everything was staged properly would get the two of them started. Kojiro was extremely diligent, as in his sword arts. His hardwork was fine tuned to ensure they produced the highest of qualities in their work today. After this final push, the preperations would be complete.

Kojiro would react by looking over his shoulder as the door to the forge opened up. From the shape of the silloute behind them he would recognize his mother. She complimented the two on preparing the forge well and observed as the two continued to assist one another in the process to come. Kojiro would move to a large bucket like container in the corner of the room that held raw iron ores in large chunks. He carefully picked the ore he would begin to heat with first.
[4/11 A Major Project ] [ 4/8 Actual Smithing! III ] [ 4/10 ] Repairing II ] [ 4/4 Assistance ]
After selecting the perfect ore. Kojiro returned to Kenshin, allowing him to examine the ore as they had done with their down time during the last several days. Once the two agreed this was the ore to work with, the master and apprentice continued their work. The ore would be super heated, tempering it to remove the impurities from it. After it's heat was raised and maintained at unfathomable temperatures, the ore would begin to be folded over and over in a tedious process that would make the steel more flexible.
[5/11 A Major Project ] [ 5/8 Actual Smithing! III ] [ 5/10 ] Repairing II ] [ 1/4 Assistance ]
Hours went into pounding the impurities from the metal. The metal that they were using would be used to create the blade of Kojiro's blade. While this process was underway, the time that the ore was heating would be used to begin disassembling Kenshin's new blade in order to begin it's restoration. The blade was in very rough shape, it's fittings unkempt and rusted to the tang of the weapon. Removing the fittings, polishing and removing the blade's rust and mineral deposits would occur throughout the remainder of this process.

Once it was time they completed the quenching. Finally, they ignited the forge and it was time for Kojiro to create his new weapon. Kenshin, on the other hand, needed to use his new smithing skills to carefully temper Getsuruito without it disintegrating.

Kenshin was finally able to place Getsuruito on the workbench. He used a solvent to carefully remove the rust and clean the blade. He took the blade to the grindstone to sharpen it back up which took longer than expected. The draconic handle was beginning to show signs of recovery. The bronze on the handle and the tsuba were revealed after the solvent took full effect.

He helped Kojiro with the forging process by offering him the other materials gathered. Kenshin then returned to the workbench and continued tempering the sword. It was beginning to look less ancient and almost good as new. He could easily see the draconic handle, restored tsuba, and the gleam of the blade. Kenshin took it back to the grindstone to continue working on the blade.
[10/11 A Major Project ] [ 9/10 ] Repairing II ]
He let the blade settle after yet another sharpening session to restore the weapon's deadliness. He then returned to assisting Kojiro with the forge for a while. Once that was done he went back to the workbench for the finishing touches. As he scraped away more rust and restored the wear and tear of the centuries-old sword. Suddenly, Getsuruito practically came alive and glowed with dark blue energy. He looked back at Kojiro before looking down to see his KPD rapier begin to glow as well. An eyebrow raised as he watched the restored ancient katana absorb the rapier completely. Out of alarm, Kenshin grabbed Getsuruito before applying chakra to it. The moment he touched it he saw the katana immediately transform into an enhanced rapier. Powerful lightning also coursed through the blade but only before Kenshin applied the Jyuken to the weapon. It seemed to react just like Purity before he transformed it back into a katana and back into the rapier form again. "That's...incredible. Was Getsuruito know for the ability to transform into other weapons like this?" Kenshin asked of Kojiro and relied on his local knowledge. Regardless, he was quite amazed by the power he felt with the restored legendary sword in his hand.

Weapon Specs ▰ Weapon Name: Getsuruitō ▰ Weapon Type: Katana & Rapier ▰ Weapon Size: 38 Inches Total | 30 Inch Blade | 8 Inch Hilt ▰ Style Categorization: Medium Sword ▰ Weapon Weight: 3 lbs ▰ Stat Increase: +2 Speed ▰ Elemental Affinity: Lightning ▰ Description: Getsuruitō (月涙刀, Moon Tear Sword) is a legendary sword that was reworked and merged with the standard-issue Kumogakure Police Department officer rapier commissioned to Kenshin Kosei named Purity. The original form of the sword is a steel and dark blue katana with a bronze crossguard and dragonhead handle. It also has a rapier form that was refined from Purity and is entirely constructed from steel with a dark blue handle and basket hilt. The katana and rapier forms are the same size and constructed of the same materials. Getsuruito was considered a legendary artifact by the people of Seizan as it was wielded by an ancient general. When the rusted blade was awarded by the locals to Kenshin Kosei he discovered that it had the unique ability to merge with and empower one other weapon. When the katana was reworked to its fullest potential it had the abilities of his own weapon in addition to incredible lightning abilities. ▰ Ability Summary: Righteous Sword of the Sentinel [ Senchineru no Seigi no Ken ] | Rank E | Bloodline | Spiritual All forms of Hyuuga techniques including the gentle fist can be used through the sword for the 10 posts that this technique is active. This means that strikes involving the blade cause physical damage including stab wounds as well as seal tenketsu points and any other effects of the technique used through the sword. An additional 5 chakra can be applied to the blade to prevent it from causing physical damage from thrusting but instead seal tenketsu points and inflict pain similar to a stab wound in the area struck but slashing attacks can still cause damage. Half the resource cost of techniques from the rapier style of Sen Gekiretsu Nagareboshi applied allows the technique to carry the tenketsu sealing effects of a same-rank palm strike such as a B-Rank carrying 64 Palms effects. Getsuruito must be in its rapier form to use this ability and 5 chakra can be spent upon activation of this technique to transform it as such. The Righteous Sword of the Sentinel technique has a 10 post duration before necessitating re-activation and costs an E-Rank amount of chakra. The initial activation of this technique consumes an action but all subsidiary abilities of the technique do not.
Smiting Blade of the Night Watch [ Naitō Otchi no Sumittinguburēdo ] | Rank X | Bukijutsu [ Lightning ] | Spiritual When this technique is activated it crackles violently with night blue lightning for the entire duration. The electricity from the blade also forms bolts of lightning over the body of the user and appears to supercharge them. Whenever the blade is swung or thrust over the duration the user can fire a concentrated blast of ten bolts of lightning to accompany the strike equal to the rank applied but for only half the cost to initiate the technique. Hatake, Raiu, and Sage enhanced lightning can pass through the blade and apply to these lightning bolts. The bolts cause a thunderously deafening sonic boom and can inflict tier 2 burns upon direct contact with the lightning. Additionally, these lightning bolts can be freely applied to all complex bukijutsu for no action cost to smite enemies. The only action cost is when the technique is activated and all subsidiary abilities of the technique do not consume actions and only chakra. This ability can be used in both forms of Getsuruito.
Draconic Sabre of Moon Sundering [ Getsu Sandaringu no Dorakonikku Seibā ] | Rank X | Bukijutsu [ Lightning ] | Complex This is the original ability of the ancient Getsuruito blade and thus requires the original katana form. 5 chakra can be spent to transform the blade to its original form upon activation of this technique. Crackling and thunderous dark blue lightning can be applied to the katana's edge at any rank and the same lightning can form a dragon head formed from electricity over the body of the user for 10 posts. This allows all spiritual techniques the sword comes into contact with to be slashed through and even cut in half at the same rank despite the complex nature of the technique. For half of the original cost to activate the technique a same-rank spiritual electrical energy slash can be sent out from the slash of the blade. This same cost can be applied to any complex bukijutsu to achieve the same effect. The original 10 post activation of this ability consumes an action but all subsidiary abilities do not.

▱▰▱He stepped out of the blacksmith's shop with his new sword and walked off the property onto an open field. Kenshin commenced his bukijutsu training with Kojiro. Over time, he was able to master many bukijutsu styles but found that he was focusing more and more on a select few. Other forms of weapon combat were being forgotten by him as he placed more hours of training, usage, and general emphasis on Sen Gekiretsu Nagareboshi, Kakumei no Hono Ryu, Tetsuishi no Ryu, and Tetsunami Ryu. Other styles were now irrelevant to him. He made a few lunges with Getsuruito's rapier form, his preferred form. He then suddenly changed it to its traditional katana form and practiced several slashes. Each movement was precise and artful but also meditative. He felt a deeper connection to bukijutsu than he ever did before. While he was a master of the rapier before he felt a stronger connection to the Jyuken with the rapier as an extension of his palm but now his connection to the sword was more profound. Each movement and stance he practiced only increased his connection to the new weapon. Although Getsuruito was new it seemed to accept him as its new master in a quasi-sentient way that was difficult to describe. Kenshin never before ascribed particular meaning to his martial arts training beyond the functionality of it. Before he simply needed to train and become stronger to better perform his duty. But this particular training session after days of restoring the weapon that then absorbed his KPD officer sword felt distinct. Kenshin's movements picked up in intensity as he noticed his intrusive thoughts disappear. He was completely in flow with the movement of his weapon. His consciousness focused on nothing else. The sage was even able to tune out his usual focus on the flow of natural energy. Kenshin suddenly stopped moving before swiftly dropping to a lotus position on the grass. Time seemed to pass in mere seconds for what was over an hour of meditation. Suddenly, Getsuruito, which was placed in front of him on the grass began to levitate. The crafted steel of the sword then became of a dark blue energy as he felt it become bound to his soul. He opened his now-glowing dark blue eyes and grabbed the rapier's handle. With a single swing of his blade, he watched it cleave a twenty-foot crevice into the earth in the distance.
Kenshin returned to his seated position to continue meditating. He laid his spirit sword flat on the ground in front of him. He allowed the energy leaving his body from ascending to the first virtue state to subside. He focused on his breathing and developing a deeper connection to his spirit sword. Kenshin had been relentlessly following the tenets of Bushido for his whole life although unintentionally. He was unsure what kind of abilities and state of being he was unlocking but he was too focused to ask questions. While he continued to focus on his warrior spirit he also found that he was becoming attuned to the greater universe. This included aspects of his sage training but it felt like a different form of enlightenment somehow. Kenshin felt his eyes glow brighter than before. A night blue aura also surrounded his body as he delved deeper into the meditation. Kenshin felt his focus sharpen even more than his spirit blade. In his meditation, he reached out to grab the handle of the sword. He then saw the man who first owned and forged the blade in his mind's eye. He could see when it was forged and commissioned to a soldier from Seizan in ancient times. Kenshin saw that he was a dutiful man who commanded armies that protected Seizan from northern invaders. He was powerful but restrained and just in his administration of the army. Getsuruito allowed him to swing the katana with powerful lightning bolts that smote the invaders. The memories of the previous wielder of Getsuruito were very vivid to him. The addition of Purity to the blade allowed him to leave his own mark on it. It was also becoming clearer why Kenshin was the only successive wielder of the sword in a millennium. Kenshin stood once again with the blade in his hand and suddenly disappeared before reappearing before a tree and slicing through a portion of its trunk with an afterimage following.

▱▰▱Kenshin stepped back from the tree and returned to the exact same place he was before. He returned to his lotus position and laid the spirit sword before him again. He continued the mysterious journey toward mastering his inner self and maintaining his manifested spirit sword. As he persisted in his meditation more visions visited him of aspects of fear. He winced as images of him from his childhood appeared. He saw when he was punched and kicked around a dark cell by multiple prisoners in Gimangakure. Kenshin inhaled deeply and persisted in the traumatic visions. The stalwart lawman's greatest fear was clearly the return of the abuse he experienced. His palms became slick with sweat before he balled his hands into fists of rage and anguish. He felt immense temptation to end the meditation to stop re-living the horrible experience. Getsuruito began to fade before he took one final breath in and faced the vision. He confronted and braved the viewing with a renewed vigor causing the spirit sword to return to its full power. A powerful dark blue aura surrounded him and his eyes began to glow as a result of his courage. Kenshin then watched as the visions became conquered by his new power. It all faded away before him and he was finally allowed calm. The rage and pain left him as a result of his concentration and bravery. Even in becoming a sage he did not allow himself to address and overcome his deepest trauma. Somehow the pursuit of manifesting his warrior spirit allowed him to mend the wound. He stood up once more with his Reiken in his right hand while it was in its rapier form. Kenshin then extended his arm and pointed it toward the sky before watching it extend above as a powerful chakra spear.
Third Virtue: Courage Unlocked ▰ God Killing Spear [ Kami-Goroshi no Yari ] | Rank A | Spiritual
Kenshin ceased the massive extension of the Reiken before immediately sitting down again. He resumed his meditation as he felt in an intuitive way that there was still much to be uncovered. Despite his physical exhaustion as a result of constantly unlocking new frontiers of ability his mind kept his body in motion. Despite the stillness and state of being at rest his body even in the meditative position was being overexerted. Kenshin knew that he was experiencing an exercise that forced physical growth and pushing of the limits. As he meditated he faced visions of his past mistakes and instances of dishonor. Before he became a sage he was ruled by his own rage and wrath toward the world's injustices. He could see how his intemperate reactions as a result of carrying this anger led to his dishonor on multiple occasions. As he meditated he felt his body go through more strain than the previous three times combined. It felt as though his body was pushing beyond its limit as he grew into this virtue. The aura of his warrior spirit radiated outward as a flickering luminesce. However, this light gained more consistency as he continued to face each mistake. Each expression of his ire was a hindrance to his advancement as a warrior. Once he became a sage he was able to focus that outward explosion of anger with precision. He found this far more effective but there were still remnants of this habit. Kenshin found that he was able to abolish each instance with focus and proper recognition. Once his spiritual aura stabilized he would stand once again. His Reiken was even more solidified despite its fading ethereal state during his training. He allowed his Reiken to re-materialize as a katana on his hip before unsheathing it. He slashed the sword toward the sky before releasing a giant wave of cutting chakra.

Weapon Specs ▰ Weapon Name: Getsuruitō ▰ Weapon Type: Katana & Rapier [ Reiken Spirit Sword ] ▰ Weapon Size: 38 Inches Total | 30 Inch Blade | 8 Inch Hilt ▰ Style Categorization: Medium Sword ▰ Weapon Weight: 3 lbs ▰ Stat Increase: +2 Speed ▰ Elemental Affinity: Lightning ▰ Description: Getsuruitō (月涙刀, Moon Tear Sword) is a legendary sword that was reworked and merged with the standard-issue Kumogakure Police Department officer rapier commissioned to Kenshin Kosei named Purity. The original form of the sword is a steel and dark blue katana with a bronze crossguard and dragonhead handle. It also has a rapier form that was refined from Purity and is entirely constructed from steel with a dark blue handle and basket hilt. The katana and rapier forms are the same size and constructed of the same materials. Getsuruito was considered a legendary artifact by the people of Seizan as it was wielded by an ancient general. When the rusted blade was awarded by the locals to Kenshin Kosei he discovered that it had the unique ability to merge with and empower one other weapon. When the katana was reworked to its fullest potential it had the abilities of his own weapon in addition to incredible lightning abilities. ▰ Ability Summary: Righteous Sword of the Sentinel [ Senchineru no Seigi no Ken ] | Rank E | Bloodline | Spiritual All forms of Hyuuga techniques including the gentle fist can be used through the sword for the 10 posts that this technique is active. This means that strikes involving the blade cause physical damage including stab wounds as well as seal tenketsu points and any other effects of the technique used through the sword. An additional 5 chakra can be applied to the blade to prevent it from causing physical damage from thrusting but instead seal tenketsu points and inflict pain similar to a stab wound in the area struck but slashing attacks can still cause damage. Half the resource cost of techniques from the rapier style of Sen Gekiretsu Nagareboshi applied allows the technique to carry the tenketsu sealing effects of a same-rank palm strike such as a B-Rank carrying 64 Palms effects. Getsuruito must be in its rapier form to use this ability and 5 chakra can be spent upon activation of this technique to transform it as such. The Righteous Sword of the Sentinel technique has a 10 post duration before necessitating re-activation and costs an E-Rank amount of chakra. The initial activation of this technique consumes an action but all subsidiary abilities of the technique do not.
Smiting Blade of the Night Watch [ Naitō Otchi no Sumittinguburēdo ] | Rank X | Bukijutsu [ Lightning ] | Spiritual When this technique is activated it crackles violently with night blue lightning for the entire duration. The electricity from the blade also forms bolts of lightning over the body of the user and appears to supercharge them. Whenever the blade is swung or thrust over the duration the user can fire a concentrated blast of ten bolts of lightning to accompany the strike equal to the rank applied but for only half the cost to initiate the technique. Hatake, Raiu, and Sage enhanced lightning can pass through the blade and apply to these lightning bolts. The bolts cause a thunderously deafening sonic boom and can inflict tier 2 burns upon direct contact with the lightning. Additionally, these lightning bolts can be freely applied to all complex bukijutsu for no action cost to smite enemies. The only action cost is when the technique is activated and all subsidiary abilities of the technique do not consume actions and only chakra. This ability can be used in both forms of Getsuruito.
Draconic Sabre of Moon Sundering [ Getsu Sandaringu no Dorakonikku Seibā ] | Rank X | Bukijutsu [ Lightning ] | Complex This is the original ability of the ancient Getsuruito blade and thus requires the original katana form. 5 chakra can be spent to transform the blade to its original form upon activation of this technique. Crackling and thunderous dark blue lightning can be applied to the katana's edge at any rank and the same lightning can form a dragon head formed from electricity over the body of the user for 10 posts. This allows all spiritual techniques the sword comes into contact with to be slashed through and even cut in half at the same rank despite the complex nature of the technique. For half of the original cost to activate the technique a same-rank spiritual electrical energy slash can be sent out from the slash of the blade. This same cost can be applied to any complex bukijutsu to achieve the same effect. The original 10 post activation of this ability consumes an action but all subsidiary abilities do not.
