Seihei Naidoshou Gonyuu- Advanced Samurai Arts

[Wolfy]

Seihei Naidoshou Gonyuu is the advanced version of the samurai’s standard art. Taught only to those considered “prodigies” in the Land of Iron’s vast army, masters of this style are revered for their peerless finesse and skill with a sword.

The SNG style consists of two primary houses, being: the House of Blades and the House of Steps. One focuses on the swordsman’s craft in using his or her bladed weaponry, while the other focuses more on the user’s ability to move with unprecedented speed.

While practitioners are allowed to learn maneuvers and tactics from either house, there comes a certain point where they must choose which path they shall follow in full. Only then will the most secret teachings be revealed to then.

Restrictions
1. This fighting style is only available to the Samurai class. Likewise, in order to be available for this style, the user must first learn all of the standard Naideshou Gonyuu techniques to their maximum rank.

2.The SNG fighting style is only available to Master Samurai.

As stated, the Seihei Naideshou Gonyuu style is separated into two major "houses." These schools focus on entirely separate aspects of the style, though encourage their practitioners to acquire knowledge of their fellow school. However, practitioners must choose a "main" style, which means that the other will becoming their "secondary."

In doing so, they will effectively prohibit themselves from learning certain techniques after a certain rank from the school that is not their primary House. Practitioners may learn all techniques respective to their primary House, but are limited to c-ranked techniques and below in their secondary House, along with one B-rank technique.

In terms of Masteries, the SNG style possesses a unique structure. There is a single, general mastery which overlaps the entire style as a whole. However, the second and third tier Masteries are separated among the two Houses that compose the style. Despite their "ranks" (2nd and 3rd), these can only be obtained my learning all of the techniques in their respective trees to maximum rank.

So, in the end, a practitioner of the SNG style would only be able to purchase a maximum of two masteries in this art.


MASTERY

[/b] Practitioners of the SNG are renowned for their vast knowledge of various sword styles. While some styles prevent users from being able to amalgamate others, masters of the SNG push themselves beyond “standard limits” and break this rule. With this mastery, SNG users can learn any other non-SNG taijutsu style involving swords, regardless of the restrictions.

MASTERY

[/b] Only those who have dedicated their entire being to the way of the blade may achieve this mastery. Focusing more so on their blade than any other art, the the practitioners of the House of Blades have learned to permanently stabilize their Kyuushen (Weapon Sharpness). With this mastery, the Naideshou Gonyuu’s Kyuushen ability is always active after they have drawn their sword and now free of cost (on all intensities).

Kabuseruken (Blade Cover)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low

[/b]: This ability is only effective against thrusts from standard katanas.
[/ul]

Dagekimaruchi (Multi-Strike)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid

[/b]: The maximum amount of strikes that may be delivered with this technique is four. It should also be noted that this technique can be used to defend against multiple strikes delivered at roughly the same time (including itself, in some cases [wherein your enemy is using this to assault you]). This ability has a one post cooldown between uses.
[/ul]

Kensuraidingu (Sliding Blade)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid

[/b]: The chakra used in this technique allows the user to effectively slide their grip from the top of the pommel (right beneath the hilt) to the end (the butt of the handle), without worrying about the sword accidentally slipping from their hold. This “absolute grip” exists solely for the duration of this technique, and no other time. This is a slashing technique, and can only be executed in that manner.
[/ul]

Kireme Kobudou (Weapon Break)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: 2x Mid

[/b]: This can be performed with any object their holding; however, anything less durable (i.e isn’t harder) than a stone will shatter after the technique has been completely. If used on a person, this technique will instantly break the bone in the appendage struck.
[/ul]

Kuzuhidorasen (Nine-Headed Hydra Flash)
Rank: S
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Massive

[/b]: Due to the immense speed used to execute this technique, the only method of avoiding (or parrying) is to achieve a greater speed; this means roughly that of the 3rd gate or higher. This technique can only be used once per thread, takes a full post to charge (it cannot be used in the same post that it is charged, and the user's hand must be on the handle) and causes and extreme amount of strain on the user (effectively removing their taijutsu primary perk for the remaining duration of the thread).
[/ul]

Uchikudaku (Shatter)
Rank: S
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: 2x High

[/b]: This ability simply allows the user to “shatter” their sword into 100 small shards, exploding out in all directions in front of the user up to five meters away from the point of detonation. This technique cannot be employed while the sword is in motion (it must be still), and effectively leaves the samurai without a weapon for the entirety of the following post. After this cool down, their sword will immediately reform once again.
[/ul]

Daidarabotchi (God of Giants)
Rank: S
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Massive

[/b]: This technique can be separated into two categories, armed and unarmed:

[/b] With a weapon, the user places their blade horizontally before them and clamps the back of the blade, near the tip, between their middle and index finger. The chakra used is distributed between the arm clamping (essentially pulling it back), and the hand around the pommel (pulling forward). This spread of chakra creates an unbelievable amount of pressure build up, which can then be unleashed at the user’s will.

Due to the focus needed to maintain this “pressure,” the user can only move up to a maximum of three meters from their starting point (i.e where they began the technique).

When released, the pressure created from the conflicting forces erupts in, propelling the blade in a horizontal slash at unimaginable speeds (roughly equivalent to x3 the speed of your average shinobi). It is said that only those with a fully matured Sharingan are capable of evading this lethal strike.

Unarmed: Without a weapon, the user forms a fist with one hand and places it into the palm of another, distributing the chakra evenly through their body to create the same intense pressure. When released, the user’s fist whips out at the opponent, and upon connection, deals an incredibly amount of blunt force trauma. The speed of this technique is no different than the armed version.

This version of technique can easily tear a victim’s jaw completely from their face, or do irreversible damage to appendages if struck (such as permanently tearing the ligaments and dealing almost irreparable damage to the bone structure).
[/ul]

This technique can only be used once per thread. Furthermore, this technique can only be learned by those who have dedicated themselves fully to the House of Blades and mastered all of the techniques it offers. Moreover, this technique can only be performed with traditional katanas.

MASTERY

[/b] Unlike their brethren of the blade, practitioners of the Step have focused their time and efforts into increasing their speed. Considered unrivaled in this art, practitioners of the Step benefit from an even more substantial speed increase than your typical taijutsu focused fighter. Masters of this art move at x3 the speed of your average shinobi at all times.

[/b]: This technique is always active when the user is in the air.

[/ul]__________________________________

Jinsokuashi (Quick Step)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid

[/b]: This technique doubles the user’s baseline speed (as in how fast they can run) for the duration of a single post. This speed can be “halted” at anytime, zeroing out the momentum from it instantly, allowing the user to come to sudden stops. No form of attacks may be initiated while this technique is "active."
[/ul]

Sokkahane (Feather Step)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid

[/b]: This ability can only be used once per post. Furthermore, this ability only works if the user’s feet are directly beneath them while falling. The “Center of Gravity” passive does not remove this requirement.
[/ul]

Hajakenshou (Crushing Step)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: 2x Mid

[/b]: This technique can only be used by one foot at a time; it can only be used once per post, and cannot be executed at the same time any other techniques are being used. The burst of chakra created from this is capable of lifting a grown man roughly three meters into the air, knocking them back a maximum of three meters as well. This can also be used to defend against projectiles and or low-impact explosions and techniques. The “wall” is only generated in front of where the user is facing\stomps, stemming from only an inch before their foot, and grows to be a maximum of two meters high and two meters wide.
[/ul]

Tenkuuhane (Air Step)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid to cast, Low to sustain

[/b]: This ability can injure the user if they do not first slow their fall with the Feather Step. By creating this more durable platform, although made of chakra, the natural forces of falling do not simply vanish. This ability only works if the user’s feet are directly beneath them while in the air.
[/ul]

Sendokaitei (Thousand Step)
Rank: A
Range: Supplementary
Type: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: x2 Mid per “jump”

[/b]: This technique can be used four times per post. Unlike the previous two parent techniques. This can even be used upside down or sideways. The maximum distance a user may travel from any point to the next is five meters.
[/ul]

Hirogerusochi (Expanding Step)
Rank: S
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: 2x High

[/a]) from point-a to point-b. While in this state, the user can transition through solid materials, and the user can then “condense” the chakra and their body back together in an instant, which gives off the appearance of teleportation.

Note: This ability can only be used once per thread. Likewise, it requires a full post to charge, in which no other techniques or fighting maneuvers can be performed. The user cannot attack during the technique. This technique can only be learned by those who have dedicated themselves fully to the House of Steps and have mastered all of the techniques it offers.
