Naideshou Gonyuu- Samurai Arts

[Wolfy]

Samurai, the followers of the bushido code, are the guardians and military power that once originated in the Land of Iron and now operates around the world. An independent, world-wide group, little is known about them, although most seasoned shinobi veterans can tell you that any shinobi would be foolish to challenge their military prowess. Agents of peace, they side with no hidden village and stay out of shinobi affairs for the most part, but nonetheless intervene should balance be threatened. Even then, their interventions restore balance rather than leave anyone favorable over another.

Naideshou Gonyuu is the primary sword art practiced by the Samurai, involving the harnessing of their chakra and energy into the blade of their weapon for a myriad of possibilities. More often than not, they used this method to increase the sharpness of the blade, allowing the weapon in question to pass through most-- if not all --defenses that might stand in their way.

Naideshou Gonyuu translates to "people who will never enter enlightenment." As samurai, their primary concern is the needs of the people they protect -- whether it be their lord or civilians. Because of this, there is nothing they will not do to ensure their safety and well-being; this often times leads to heinous acts, which is said to bar them from ever reaching peace and enlightenment after their souls have left their bodies.

Samurai Power-Armor
Rank: A
Type: Head / Neck / Torso / Arms & Hands / Legs & Feet
Limit: Samurai.
Special: Because of the heavy nature of the armor, all Taijutsu performed in conjunction with the samurai's body armor (punch, kick, etc.) will carry bonus damage based on the armor's base rank. This armor cannot be purchased by non-Samurai unless in black market. Likewise, it can only be purchased in the Land of Iron, and can be repaired only by using parts of another set of Samurai Power Armor.
Description: A full body suit of armor created strictly for samurai based off traditional designs mixed in with modern technology. Akin to traditional ancient samurai armor, the Kanji for "Bushido" is carved in the chest plate and back, and the whole body is protected with many strong layers of plated steel. The secret use of this armor is that, although heavy, it feeds off of the Samurai's special seal, which gushes raw chakra into the armor in order to make the otherwise impossible to move heavy armor as smooth and gentle as a cloth. There's only one place an armor like this can be made – Iron. Note that since this IS armor it always makes noise, no matter how slow or quiet the wearer is.
Cost: 100,000 Ryo per set // 20,000 Ryo per part

Ronin-Satsugai no Fuuin (Seal of the Bladed Warrior)
Rank: S
Range: -
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: -

[/b]: This seal is placed upon all samurai, essentially doubling their chakra capacity by opening their chakra pathways in a somewhat similar way to Hachimontokou. However, because of this, it prevents samurai from being able to finely mold chakra in terms of jutsu, making handseals and the like useless (i.e preventing them from using Ninjutsu, Fuuinjutsu, and Genjutsu). At the same time, this erratic chakra nature also prevents samurai from falling victim to genjutsu.
[/ul]

Chakura no Kishu (Chakra Form Manipulation)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid to cast, Low to sustain

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

Kyuushen (Weapon Sharpness)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low – 2x High

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

Sorekiri (Weapon Deployment)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low

Bourei (Weapon Creation)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid

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

Sashibae (Weapon Projection)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: 2x Mid

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

Bakushin (Weapon Explosion)
Rank: S
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: High

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

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