Name of weapon: Naikami Kinko(Dead God Imprisonment)
Your Rank: Jounin
Who owns the weapon: Katsu Naikiri
Where it was found/Who made it: Created using multiple kinjutsu.
Users Class: Weapon
The Range of the weapon: 
Weakness: Every time it's used, it kills Katsu a little bit, creating black crack patterns on Katsu's skin, caused by necrosis. This means once the Death Contract reaches 000, Katsu dies.
Description: This sword cuts only the soul of a creature, having sealed a God of Death within it using Katsu's soul as the chains. This sword is the materialization of both the life energy of Katsu and the Shinigami inside it, making extremely hard to damage with simple weapons and jutsu, requiring S-rank powered abilities to crack it. However, the damage it receives is reflected to Katsu's Body, so the more pre. Cells touched by this sword undergo necrosis and cannot be healed with normal means, so a high class medic will be needed to cure the necrosis, or wait a month IRL after the battle. The hilt does not damage anything, so it is safe for others to wield. Katsu is the only one able to make it disappear and "sheath" it into his body, where he can keep it safe and stop the impeding death, but takes three posts to sheath, so it can't usually be sheathed in battle. This is because of the resistance the Shinigami puts up, being forced into that form and into another "cage" like a Biju and a Jinchuuriki. Also, he has to be holding the hilt to sheath it, so it can be stolen from him and will continue to work until he dies. Even though it is indestructible by nature, this does not mean it can cut through anything. Also, since this is technically keeping a Death God inside of Katsu, it has a large cost, going by the Death Contract system. The only way to refill the Life Points are forbidden jutsu, namely Chiyo's Tensei Technique, meaning the other person would have to willingly hand over their life.
Death Contract:
Life Points: 150
Every Post Used: 1 Point
Every S-rank Jutsu blocked or cut: 2 Points
Every SS-rank Jutsu blocked or cut: 4 Points
-135: Cracks covering torso area, puts Katsu into a constantly sick state, coughing painfully every now and then.
-120: Cracks visible on shoulders and stretching towards the back. Sickness continues, stamina depletion.
-105: Cracks now reaching upper leg areas, Speed dropping 1/2 rank.
-90: Cracks hitting arms, reduces strength by 1/2 rank.
-75: Intertwined with arms and legs, reduces strength and speed by 1/2 rank.
-60: Reaching neck, reflex impaired and Speed reduced by 1/2 rank
-45: Reaches face, impairing senses. Hallucinations begin.
-30: Moving itself is painful, Strength reduced by 1/2 rank.
-15: Body is mostly completely black with necrosis, body is numb, allowing Katsu to ignore the pain of his body. His senses are also to blurred to tell friend from foe. Now depth, mute, and nearly blind, Katsu is more like a monster in this state, however weakened he may be.



Name of weapon: Go-Hoshi-Ken(Five Star Sword)
Your Rank: Chuunin
Who owns the weapon: Katsu Naikiri
Where it was found/Who made it: Katsu made it
Users Class: Weapon User
The Range of the weapon: Three foot blade
Weakness: Opposing element
Description: This katana is made of a super-conductive chakra metal with five seals on the hilt. These seals can store elemental chakra and release it throughout the blade for two posts at any point. Each seal holds an amount of elemental chakra, meaning a total of five seals can be filled at once. To collect different chakra types, one must simply make direct contact with an elemental Jutsu and the seal is filled. This does not absorb the Jutsu, just a small portion of it's chakra through the conduction of the blade. These seals can hold the chakra for an infinite amount of time until released. This blade can also release two elements at once to create advanced elements, such as lightning and wind to magnetize targets to guide the blade towards them, fire and water to surround the blade in steam, or earth and fire to heat the blade so it can transform, proportionate to the actual mass. This sword is able to create these advanced elemental effects by simply simultaneously pouring the two elements into the metal, then letting them combine, resulting in the third element. This makes the blade weak to the weaknesses of the two elements weaknesses. Along with this, Wood Release has the interesting effect of healing people it cuts and is strong against Tailed Beasts and Angels thanks to it's life-giving attribute. Even though these advanced elements are made of two basic elements, the effects via chakra flow in this blade are still on the same level as basic elements, only effecting the blade itself. Also, since this can seal elemental chakra, branch elements like Blaze Release can also be sealed if the wielded is able to contact it without destroying this katana as well.

Name of weapon: Shichiseiken(Seven Star Sword)
Your Rank: Jounin
Who owns the weapon: Katsu Naikiri
Where it was found/Who made it: Ancient weapon of the Sage of Six Paths, collected eventually by Katsu with his eye for swords.
Users Class: Weapon
The Range of the weapon:  Three feet
Weakness: Only one effect at a time.
Description: This sword is capable of cutting ones soul, though not in the harmful way a Shinigami can. It costs five points to switch the sword from Material Cutting to Soul Cutting and vice versa. Soul Cutting is the only one that has the following effects. This is more like temporarily severing a component of it, a specific element instead of a whole piece, like taking the oxygen from water. The Wielder can't control what he cuts, but it is known to cut sections off the Memory Soul, stealing certain skills and all the memories of how to use them. If, somehow, the soul is out in the open, this can cut it and take the severed piece for themselves. Only a total of four people can be effected by this at once and each person has a chakra cost of 5 points per post. Each effect can only last for a maximum of five posts before the severed piece finds it's way back. On the rare occasion one does cut off a whole section of a soul, a rule can be set that the target can't break. There is no penalty for breaking it, but more so that the target feels compelled that they can't break it. This is not an order,  so it's impossible to tell someone to "kill their friend", but something like "You can't use ninjutsu" or "you can't say anything with the letter M in it" are possible. The main idea is that the rules have to be what they can't do, not orders telling them what to do. If they break the rule, their soul returns, but it's impossible for them to try to break the rule, in fact, they would rather do everything in their power to not break it as if their life depended on it. The only way for them is to be put in a situation when they absolutely must or somebody forces them to. This can be compared to an extremely powerful genjutsu that manipulates their soul instead of chakra. Anyway, if a piece of soul is not present, than cutting flesh will slice a random part of the Memory Soul. To find out what skills one lost, refer to this after generating a random number between one and seven:
1: Ninjutsu
2: Taijutsu/Weapon
3: Genjutsu
4: Bloodline
5: Clan
6: Miscellaneous(Medical Jutsu, Summoning, etc.)
7: Other(Anything not said, such as Angels, Biju, Cursed Mark, etc)
Some weapons also belonging to the Five Great Ninja Treasure Set may alter the effects of this weapon.

Name of weapon: Ame-no-nuhoko
Your Rank: Jounin
Who owns the weapon: Katsu Naikiri
Where it was found/Who made it: Once a weapon said to have created the original islands of the Water Country, it was said to be forged by gods, though there is no evidence supporting this.
Users Class: Weapon
The Range of the weapon: Three foot blade and 4.25 foot shaft
Weakness: Things brought to life with this have three main weaknesses. One is that it can't move from it's position. The other is that it can feel pain and has the mindset of an animal, so one can easily get it to back down if they injure it enough proportionate to its size. Also, only four things can be brought to life at one time.
Description: This weapon is originally a naginata with a four foot long white rectangular shaft and a straight katana-like double-edged blade. In the center of each foot of the shaft, there is a black magatama painted on both sides. The last foot of the shaft, closest to the blade, can detach and the blade can be sheathed in the rest of the shaft, like a katana. This is to make it easier to travel with as well as adapt it for different combat situations. The power of this weapon is to given inanimate objects life by transferring large amounts of Natural Energy it’s gathered. This is different than controlling something with ninjutsu. The shape can’t change drastically, so if you were to give life to a rock, it couldn’t become a golem. The properties of the object change to become bendable and will react to the enemy so it won’t just be something that can be simply blocked or dodged. It’s also possible to give “life” to plants, meaning that is gives them temporary consciousness and the ability to move freely. This weapon collects its own Natural Energy, but it costs chakra for the User to utilize this power. It costs 15 points for every post the User wants this to last, so if one wants to give life to a tree for 3 posts, they have to cut it and pay 45 points then, it can’t be extended later. The effect only applies to physical objects. Things like buildings can also be effected, in which case not just the plank of wood the user might cut is affected, but the whole structure. When the effect wears off, the object becomes normal again. Effecting the earth the wielder is standing on costs 15 points for 15 feet in any direction. For 50 chakra points, the effect widens to 200 meters in any direction(or a building). Extending the number of posts this lasts is still 15 points, though. For 100 points extra, the User can cut the life of the target, but also have it stay in form instead of letting it go back to normal. The object cannot change its properties too much(a flat surface cannot form spikes). Though this was not the purpose of this weapon, another ability found is that it can give life to the dead, but it cannot bring the dead back to life. This means that it can make bodies move as if they were alive, but the intelligence and the ability to speak are still null, so the body becomes more like a zombie. As this is an active collector of Natural Energy, it can also be used by those who use Senjutsu to halve their chakra cost(for senjutsu only). The last thing is that, despite not having organs or a brain, whatever this naginata brings back to life is equivalent to a living being with a mind, soul, and body, just like an animal.

Name of weapon: Kusanagi: V. Katsu
Your Rank: Jounin
Who owns the weapon: Katsu Naikiri
Where it was found/Who made it: Forged based on the original Kusanagi design and material.
Users Class: Weapon
The Range of the weapon: Three feet
Weakness: Opposing element
Description: A sword of Kusanagi is forged with a special material that helps flow chakra with 100% purity and 0% disruption. While some weapons can flow chakra, this material can flow it perfectly without any trouble or forcing on the wielder's part. The elemental chakra becomes pure and concentrated when filtered through this sword, in it's most perfect form. Due to the high voltage chakra has in this metal, it costs more than a normal chakra flow to maintain, taking up 50 points to activate and costs 50 to maintain every 3 posts. The elemental effects of Kusanagi are as followed:
-Wind: The Sword of Kusanagi's cutting capability and sharpness that can cut through anything up to 8 on Mohs hardness scale. Also, within five posts of leaving the user's, the sword can hover and maintain the cutting edge. This makes it glow green.
-Fire: The sword of Kusanagi becomes extremely hot, concentrated flames burning around it at a molecular level of size. Anything cut by this will either burn or melt, though the cut wouldn't look too abnormal without closer inspection. Every cut into a burnable material will stay aflame and burn with proportional sized flames, not the same as the molecular one. These flames will burn for five whole posts. With little effort, this can cut through anything up to 8 on Mohs hardness scale. This glows orange.
-Water: This constantly wears down anything it contacts as it grinds through it, making the cuts look smooth and clean. This lets it cut through stronger defenses that than itself by constantly weakening the defense at the same time of ripping it apart. It can also move freely through water within five posts of leaving the wielder's grip. Any living creature cut by this will bleed twice as much and won't stop unless medical aid is given(Two posts for a medic to heal, one if jounin). With effort, this can cut through anything up to 8 on Mohs hardness scale. This glows blue.
-Earth: This hardens the blade and strengthens the atomic bonds to the extent that it becomes a super defense. The chakra is also emitted, then pulled back due to it's new greater density, concentrating all the earth chakra particles on the surface of the blade. Despite being near the strength and hardness of adamantine, it doesn't have the cutting abilities of the other elements, it is nearly impossible to break, but that doesn't mean it can defend against any attack. The user is still vulnerable and large AoE techniques can't be blocked so easily with just this. This also has a crushing blow added to it that helps it smash-hack things instead of cut them like the others(+2 ranks of strength from attacks dealt by this sword). This can move freely through the earth within five posts of the User letting it go(digs through it). It's pure black, like granite.
-Lightning: This creates high frequency vibrations throughout the blade, along with concentrated lightning arching out of it here and there. This creates a humming noise that is very similar to that of a Chidori. This is also for good reason, since the actual piercing and cutting capability is similar to the technique, though more or less a grade up. The blade is capable of creating an extension to the edge, much like Chakra Edge, except out of pure lightning with the same cutting abilities of this sword. Normally it only goes out to 5 feet without effort, but with every chakra point, it can extend another foot. With effort, this can pierce through anything up to 8 on Mohs hardness scale. It glows bluish-white.

While it says that some can only penetrate up to 8 on the Mohs Scale, in actuality, it can cut anything, though it takes some time. It takes one post to cut something of 9-hardness, two for 10 hardness, and three posts for something like adamantine. This is three posts of cutting continuously or attacking the same spot, not just randomly hitting it. This duplicate of Kusanagi is normally as strong as chromium without any chakra. Katsu styled it as a single-edged straight katana with no guard. While not as good as the original, it is still an S-Class weapon that can cut as good as any other without it's abilities. The ore needed to make a Kusanagi is extremely rare and hard to come by, so despite his efforts, this is still only made 90% out of this metal, thus it still has it's impurities and isn't a perfect copy.
Also, while activated, this blade is capable of cutting ninjutsu of jounin rank, however, it can easily cut through most s-rank techniques of the element that it's naturally stronger against(Fire>Wind). Vice versa, it can only cut chuunin rank ninjutsu against the element that it's weak against.

Name of weapon: Kogarasu-Maru(Little Crow)
Your Rank: Genin[Jounin]
Who owns the weapon:
Where it was found/Who made it: A legendary blade said to be cursed by the ghost of a tyrant whom it had slain, the hero no longer being able to wield it as it started to corrupt him with it’s power. Collected by Katsu.
Users Class: Weapon
The Range of the weapon: 62.8 cm blade(around 2 feet)
Weakness: Low chance of serious paralysis. Also, for most it is possible to block out unfamiliar or unreasonable fears they're not acquainted to such as terraphobia(fear of the earth), though things like nyctophobia(fear of the dark), claustrophobia(fear of clustered spaces or narrowness), or acrophobia(fear of heights) which most people know better affect them more due to being able to remember the feeling better than others.
Description: This sword has the power of planting the seed of fear into any enemy it pierces, no matter how strong. They will feel fear of everything, developing multiple phobias. This paranoia is only the start. With a single seed of fear, there is a 1% chance of freezing in fear. Each time the enemy is cut by the sword, a seed of fear takes root and the chance increases as such(1 seed[1/100], 2 seeds[1/50], 3 seeds[1/33], 4 seeds[1/25], etc.). The percentage will increase by 1% if they get hit and are consumed by the black aura this blade can launch through long range slashes(1 seed[1/100], 1 seed+1 Black Aura[2/100], 1 seed+2 Black Aura[3/100], 2 seed+1 Black Aura[2/50, AKA 1/25] etc.), much like a chakra edge. This could essentially be called “watering” the seed of fear. Creating these arcs of black aura costs only 5 points of chakra per slash. This aura, however, is simply absorbed into the body and does not damage anything. Even without the chance of paralysis, symptoms of fear show, including(but not limited to) uncontrollable shaking, constantly distracted by thoughts of their worst nightmare or fears or traumas, and cold sweats.

Name of weapon: Toryuto(Dragon Slaying Sword)
Your Rank: Genin
Who owns the weapon: Katsu Naikiri
Where it was found/Who made it: One of two blades that were made from the first legendary-class weapon, Gentetsujuken.
Users Class: Weapon
The Range of the weapon: Foot length in hilt, three foot length in blade
Weakness: Can’t perform any handseal-reliant jutsu while using.
Description: This sword is of a special pair that was created through melting down and reforging a greater sword into two. This sword has the ability to slay dragons, so to say, bringing them down to the level of mortals. Each strike it gives doubles the weight of the person or object or thing. This affect applies to anything it touches, even chakra or energies. Each strike costs 20 chakra per, and its effect stacks(1*2=2*2=4). The effect lasts three posts, lasting as long as the newest strike. For instance, if an object is struck then struck again after two posts, the effect of the first strike will be prolonged until the end of the second strike's 3 posts, and so on with future strikes.

Name of weapon: Iten-gatana(Heaven Reliant Sword)
Your Rank: Genin
Who owns the weapon: Katsu Naikiri
Where it was found/Who made it: One of two blades that were made from the first legendary-class weapon, Gentetsujuken.
Users Class: Weapon
The Range of the weapon: Half-foot length in hilt, two foot length in blade
Weakness:
Description: This sword was forged from a more powerful sword along with Toryuto as a pair, it's ability made to control the heavens and "free" people of their earthly restraints, however deadly this may be. Simply put, it can change the direction gravity pulls for whatever it strikes in the direction it strikes it in. If one were to strike upwards, the object would fall upwards. If they struck to the side, the object would fall to the side. And so on. Each strike costs 20 chakra per and the effect lasts for 3 posts initially, but can be stacked with consecutive strikes up to 2 times(One post each strike). On the occasion of the strike aiming "Up" the sword will neutralize the Earth's own gravity and other forces instead of shifting them, therefor making the target go into a "Zero-Gravity" state until the duration is up.

Name of weapon: Juuchi Yosamu
Your Rank: Genin
Who owns the weapon: Kire Yomigaeru/Katsu Naikiri
Where it was found/Who made it: Made by the third greatest blacksmith, possessed by a demon, and sealed and labeled an evil sword.
Users Class: Assassin
The Range of the weapon: Slightly below three feet in blade length, though its hilt is made a half-foot long.
Weakness: Genjutsu can easily make zombie-slaves useless, and can also be used on the blade assuming it's something like "Nemuri" which will put the demon to sleep or occupy it.
Description: This sword is nothing but a hilt usually, however when one wields it an oni of some kind that gives a deal to the User: Blood for Blood. The User will give a small amount of his body's blood, exiting through a cut or wound of some kind, and in exchange this blood will become the blade of this sword, lighter than iron but just as durable. This sword can do a few things with this blood, but it revolves around the creation of more blood-blades. First of all, it can create a blade of blood from any cut that it's made for 10 chakra, each the same size as itself and just as strong. This includes living things as well, however for anything with blood of its own this can create a blood blade from any exposed tissue on that creatures body, as the blood can travel through the stream and come out with that method. With this, however, it cannot surface on vital or fatal areas that would cause immediate or the great likelihood of death, meaning surfacing on veins is a no-go. Another ability is to simply send arcs of edged blood out as a projectile for 10 chakra, able to cut as easily as the origin blade and anything it cuts can be used for the other powers of this sword. The third power is the one that became the main reason they call this blade the demon sword. After three cuts by this blade without using the blood-blade ability, the User can take control of a single limb for 25 chakra. This lasts three posts.

Gaia Name: Sergeant Bloodhound
RPC Name: Katsu Naikiri
Rank: Genin
Village: Grass
Would you like to Donate your Style: (This means you want a copy of this style to be placed in your village for anyone to learn, and will be added to the official taijutsu/weapon styles of the village.) If Mist is reopened eventually, but until then, not unless taught by Katsu.

Style Name Hidden Mist Advanced Sword Style
Picture:
History: (how your style came to be formed) As generations rolled by, the Katsu began to worry that the Mist Standard Sword Style became less reliable as a military asset as it had been in the beginning, now with all the village mingling and breeding. The Standard Style is now used in almost every village with varying mastery of it, which would equal mutual destruction in the case of war. Katsu, in response to this revelation, collected a series of techniques he revised and perfected to create a new and even greater Sword Style based less on speed and chakra, but more so on pure sword skill.
Style Requirements: Must be a Weapon User and Mastery of the Mist Standard Sword Style.
Movement Description This Style no longer focuses on the single aspect of speed, but is now such a style that has evolved into a more balanced way of fighting. Since the Standard Style focused on footwork and chakra control, this Advanced Style works on handwork and muscle control. Many of the techniques involve the control of the body's vibrations, building up stress and tension internally with muscle and organs, then releasing it in one moment to transfer this kinetic force in the form of waves. Unlike most modern styles of taijutsu and bukijutsu, this uses little to no chakra.

Aftereffect: After ten posts of having the style active in battle(with 3 or less posts between the activation posts) the User's strength depletes by two due to the extreme stress this puts on the User's body.

Stage 1:
Stage Description: This stage emphasizes delicate and precise hand and arm exercises more than simple fast footwork, as the Standard Mist Style did. Less power is put in, however it makes it a simple thing to just cut the opponent than to land a killing blow.
Stage Powers: (What you gain by completing this stage)
Stage Training: (What you need to do to train yourself, including how many posts) 7 Posts simply mastering the art of controlling the blade in the following techniques, and also learning the basics of vibration control.
Stage Jutsu: (Jutsu you can use after completing this stage)
-Water Path Slash[B ]: Like water, this movement lets the blade enter an opening, even if it is blocked by something at first. Using the dormant hand on the bottom of the blade, the User shifts the direction of the whole katana carefully, and with superhuman reaction, to change the trajectory of the blade. This skill is not as easy as it sounds, and only works if there is an opening in the defense, so it can’t cut someone on the other side of a wall.
-Hazy Mist Strike[A]: Controlling the natural vibrations in one’s body, the User builds up internal tension and stress to then release the strong disturbance into the blade. Waves travel through the blade, making it look like a hazy metallic mist in the eyes of others, when truly the blade is vibrating so violently that eyes can’t comprehend its unnatural and unpredictable movements. Due to this, when the User slashes like this, the sword looks like it phases through blocks, simply whipping around it, though the defender will feel the rattling of their limb or weapon. This technique has been used without a weapon, though through a different combat type, making direct contact with the target and sending the vibrations straight into them, disorienting their sight and hearing, making everything seem “Hazy.”

Stage 2: Chuunin
Stage Description: Unlike the last stage, this one focuses on overwhelming power, using methods to increase attack strength in order to hack through defenses instead of avoid them.
Stage Powers: (What you gain by completing this stage)
Stage Training: (What you need to do to train yourself, including how many posts) 8 Posts of practice slashes and muscle work outs, needing the strength to hold a heavy katana(a giant sword) that weighs more than the average Akimichi with a single hand.
Stage Jutsu: (Jutsu you can use after completing this stage)
-Wave Hack[B ]: This slice was made while thinking of waves, with one hand to “Ebb” the sword, and another to have it “Flow” out like a wave. The User draws their sword to the opposite side like he was going to do a horizontal slash, than grabs their main wrist with their dormant hand to hold it back. Building up as much power as possible in a second, the User lets go. The result is a powerful slash, capable of cutting straight through most metals and up to jounin rank defenses. Not only does it have power, but the build up gave it a sudden acceleration as well, making it invisible to the naked eye. This can’t be used as often as one might hope due to the opening it gives and the second pause needed to build power can prove to be a fatal weakness.
-Ebbing Slash[B ]: Instead of using the power of the “Flow”, or the extension of ones body, this specific slash uses the power of pulling back, putting their dominant hand on the bottom and pulling it towards them and the other hand uses its thumb & palm to keep the top hilt in place, making the blade move like a catapult contraption. This slash is usually nothing, however when one adds their weight to the dormant hand and “falls” on it, forcing it down, this makes the attack more like being hit by a giant war ax then a sword, able to hack through chuunin defenses and also leaves less of an opening than the Wave Hack.


Stage 3: Chuunin
Stage Description: Focusing on the speed of attacking, this is not as accurate the first stage, nor as powerful as the second stage, but instead barrages the enemy with series of strikes they can’t follow. While the attacks themselves aren’t incredibly momentous alone, the stage more so focuses on shortening the delay between the attacks, not giving the enemy room to recover.
Stage Powers: (What you gain by completing this stage)
Stage Training: (What you need to do to train yourself, including how many posts) 9 Posts of none-stop, rapid, whack-a-mole, or some variant of it to force the User into training their arms for rapid movements.
Stage Jutsu: (Jutsu you can use after completing this stage)
-Piercing Rain[B ]: Pelting the opponent with furious stabs like water droplets, this attack is hard to dodge and block. The User holds the hilt up to his chest and has the blade pointed at his enemy, his hand stiffening in place. With his other hand, he strikes the butt of the katana with his palm while his sword hand makes a quick shaking motion. As his hilt returns, his palm is already in place, making a short, subtle strike to the butt to push it away again, starting another stab as soon as it barely returns to place. Doing this multiple times, the User’s hand isn’t able to stay in a straight trajectory as the hilt is constantly hit, making it stab somewhere different each time. This results in a cone of pelting sword tips, and for anything in there, a hundred slits in it. The sword is near impossible to block, and is likely to cut something important, though what is out of both the User’s and target’s control.
-Rising Tide Cut[C]: Using this stage, each cut equals two, for once one hit lands, the sword stops the moment it exits the body, the blade turning around due to a slight twist in the User’s hands and fingers, then cuts again, meaning the moment one is hit by a User of this stage, they consequently get two cuts on their body instead of one, forming a random angle out of the cuts.

Stage 4: Jounin
Stage Description: This is the most defensive stage, using advancing in normal parries and more advanced heavy blocks.
Stage Powers: (What you gain by completing this stage)
Stage Training: (What you need to do to train yourself, including how many posts) 10 Posts of sparring with another creature, having to defend the whole time and no dodging, basically nailing their own feet to the ground. They finish once they can go a round without being hit.
Stage Jutsu: (Jutsu you can use after completing this stage)
-Defensive Bubble[A]: This defensive technique has the User make multiple cuts around themselves, cutting the wind and creating a sustained backlash. Using intense speed, the user soon has a sphere of these cuts around him, which merge and form a bubble from the condensed air. This usually deflects taijutsu and projectiles off the bat, but only lasts for five seconds, extraordinarily long given its unstableness. It can defend against Chuunin rank ninjutsu, using the direct air to redirect or absorb the jutsu before it hits the User, but will disappear after such. Jounin ninjutsu will break through it easily and powerful piercing attacks or jounin rank Taijutsu techniques will break through it. The User won't be able to use his arm for five seconds after performing this technique due to the extreme motions required.
-Pressure Shield[A]: Tossing the katana into the air for a split second, the User does a dual strike to the blade with roughly a foot between their hands. At the moment of the strike, the User uses Hazy Mist Strike to amplify the vibrations made, the greatest disturbances happening through the blade between the hands, having the force of both strikes at its peak. This shock reverberates through the air, moving off of both sides of the blade. The User, being well trained and hardened, absorbed the shock and transfers it into his/her footing, while the other side forms a shock wave of air, capable of defending against jounin rank ninjutsu and taijutsu. This can be held for an indefinite amount of time, but the User cannot move while defending, having to constantly send vibrations through and into the ground. This shield still only defends attacks in front of it.

Stage 5: Jounin
Stage Description: At this stage, the User combines all the lessons they learned in the past stages, including strength, speed, and accuracy amplification via restraint, release, and vibration.
Stage Powers: (What you gain by completing this stage) +1 Speed/Strength
Stage Training: (What you need to do to train yourself, including how many posts) 6 Posts of repeating all past stage training, learning to use them all in a more coordinated fashion.
Stage Jutsu: (Jutsu you can use after completing this stage)

Stage 6: Sannin
Stage Description: This stage is possibly the most fearsome thing one may ever see a single swordsman do. Before, this style has mildly used vibrations, concentration, and release to create more proficient attacks and defenses, however this stage has only a single attack that is capable of taking out even a giant summon if it hits. Instead of using the power of oneself, this stage uses the power of one’s environment.
Stage Powers: (What you gain by completing this stage)
Stage Training: (What you need to do to train yourself, including how many posts) 16 Posts to just master the Maelstrom technique.
Stage Jutsu: (Jutsu you can use after completing this stage)
-Maelstrom[SS-Rank]: The user focuses for a brief moment on just feeling all the vibrations in the ground, air, and water near them, then releases a shock from their entire body that reverberates through all these mediums, before the wave reverses. Doing this, the wave specially meant to resonate and “grab” the other vibrations pulls them all in and returns to the User, who now hold the resonating force of everything within a half mile radius. Focusing all this into his sword, the force become greater than that of a meganewton(1,000,000 Newtons). With a single swing, it can destroy a landscape, even leave a visible scar on a mountain. The User is able to make a single dash before attacking with this, due to the unstable nature of the vibrations. Also, there is a warning section of this sword technique, meaning that there is a brief moment during the absorption of the vibrations in which all non-animal movements are stopped, so there is no wind, no waves, no sound, and no vibrations of steps in the earth, as if the whole world had gone silent. If one were to notice this instant, it is possible to predict the timing of the attack. While this is powerful, it essentially breaks the user's entire body down, leaving him completely wrecked for 3 weeks(IRL) after this is done, likely in a full body cast.
