Mugen Ittoryu

[Rui]

Name

Mugen Ittōryū

Infinite One Sword Style

Breakdown and History:

In the early years of the Mist Village, a man existed by the name of Tatsuko Mifune. Born with the Sharingan, he was able to pick up on fighting styles exceedingly quickly, but hungered for one that fit his abilities, one single fighting style to call his own. As he already knew and used Kenjutsu; a sword based style was obviously in the cards, however, instead of choosing to focus on the use of one good sword, he based his fighting style around the use of many lesser quality tatchi. However, very few of the village's elite even attempted to learn the style as it was viewed as a 'poormans' style.

To compensate for the use of lesser quality, more brittle Tatchi, Mifune developed a style of striking at extremely high speeds using large numbers of Tatchi scattered about the arena. Because of the large number of swords that are used, and the fact that they were often used one at a time, albeit at such a high speed that it seemed that one had multiple swords in hand at a time, Mifune called the style "Mugen Ittōryū", or "Infinite One Sword Style."

As he grew stronger, and developed his style further, Mifune attracted a decent number of students all wishing to learn his style. However, because it was so different from what most other sword wielders were used to, using many throwaway swords as opposed to the one good one most were used to, many failed to get a proper grasp of the teachings. And so, they left the humble little Dojo he had set up in the village. Only one remained, and he was stricken with an illness, the exact details of which have been lost, about a year after he joined the dojo.

While news of this did not tarnish the reputation of his dojo much, as there was little to tarnish, very few people came to his dojo after that. And of the few that did, only two mastered the style, reaching the rank of 'Composer' and leaving to establish dojos of their own. Each of those two Composers took on a number of protege, but only two from each Sensei actually reached the level of Conductor. Those four Conductors traveled to Mist village and acquired the blessing of Mifune, becoming Composers. They then set out and established Dojos of their own.

As there are very few, if any, practitioners of Mugen Ittoryu, there is no set way that one acts or dresses. One thing will make them stand out from the masses, however, that is the pack of swords they always have slung over their shoulder or attached to their hips to allow them to use their style. The style itself can be described as a relentless assault by a high-speed maniac, it specializes in unleashing attack after attack on the opponent in order to force him to withdraw or perish. There are no rituals or festivals within the style, only a constant focus on defeating the enemy. Even most of their defensive technique can be used for offensive purposes.

Training

There really is no basic training that is absolutely required other than basic spacial awareness trainings that most people undertake; often without even knowing it. One may also develop their skill in the style by increasing both their movement and striking speed, as well as simply practicing the techniques in the style. There is one other training that one in the style may undertake, though it is optional.

Name:Ambidexterity Training
Rank:C
Skill:Taijutsu training
Effect:allows the trainee to gain skill enough with their off hand to use both hands equally well.
Special:none
Drawback:none
Description:By practicing in the use of their off hand, one may become ambidextrous; able to use both hands equally well. Without this training, most people are limited in the use of their other hand. However, when one trains properly, they may bring the skill up to the same level as the dominant hand. This allows them to do most anything one handed normally done only with the off hand. This also has other uses such as improving the use of some weapons and techniques.
Limit:none

  Effect:A fairly advanced stance which allows the use to parry almost any attack, even an arrow.
  Special:---
  Drawback:---
  Description:A fairly advanced stance which allows the use to parry almost any attack, even an arrow. First, the use bends their body into a crouch, extending the leg in back while the one in front allows them to quickly rise back to their feet. This is done to minimize the area that the enemy has to strike at, and to virtually guarantee that they will strike at the head. The user then lines up their blade along the rough trajectory of the attack and waits. When the enemy attacks, the user is then in the perfect position to deflect or parry the attack.

• Name:Disorderly Line
  Rank:B
  Skill:Taijutsu Stance
  Effect:See Description
  Special:N/A
  Drawback:Requires numerous swords
  Description:The user initiates this technique by spining the current sword in his hand in a circular motion having several swords float around him. Following this; they are able to keep the several swords floating around them, using them to conduct numerous other attacks, while integrating even more swords as they continue.
  
  The technique itself is extremely versatile, combining both a powerful defense with an overwhelming offense, while still retaining the ability to effortlessly switch between the two. This is due largely through allowing him to preform his other attacks more easily while making it difficult for an opponent to engage him at close range, due to the presence of these adjacent swords.
  Limit: Must be learned from Composer, Start Up
  
  
• Name:Sword Fang
  Rank:C
  Skill:Taijutsu
  Effect:see discription

  Drawback:requires a number of swords not in user's hand, no more than 9 swords can be used with this tech, as they could not fit into a space small enough to be used.
  Description:The User begins this attack by hitting a number that had been previously positioned standing parallel to each other. By simultaneously hitting these swords near their sunken tips, it causes all of them to slash upwards, in a manner reminiscent of a "fang".
  
  As the user has such an advanced level in both skill and accuracy by the time they learn this, the swords can be precisely positioned so as they drop inside the opponents guard, making it almost impossible to avoid the subsequent attack.
  Limit: Must be learned from Composer
  
  
• Name:Reverse Fang
  Rank:C
  Skill:Taijutsu
  Effect:see discription
  Special:n/a
  Drawback:see Sword Fang, not in any Tome of Blades
  Description:While using Disorderly Line, The user is able to conduct a version of the Sword Fang technique that features a downwards slash. This is due largely to the fact that the swords are currently in mid-air when the attack is conducted, which means the swords are facing upwards rather than their typical downwards position.
  Limit: Sword Fang, Disorderly Line
  
  
• Name:Vertical Line
  Rank:C(1-3 swords)B(4-6 swords)A(7-9 swords)
  Skill:Taijutsu
  Effect:see discription
  Special:n/a
  Drawback:no more than 9 swords can be used with this tech, as they could not fit into a space small enough to be used with Sword Fang.
  Description:Following Sword Fang; all the swords momentarily hover in the air, where the user will then proceed to use the current sword in his hand to sequentially hit each floating sword, thereby launching each of them directly at the enemy. As the held sword makes contact with each individual sword, they are supposed to announce the number of each strike. The attack itself is extremely difficult to avoid damage due to the user's precise accuracy, which leaves hardly any room for the opponent to conduct a successful parry.
  Limit: Blade Dance, Sword Fang, Must be learned from Composer
  

[Taiken Uchiha]

There is now a jutsu and weapons template up.

Convert the techs and items into the HVRP template, and you'll get the 1/3 Approval from me.

This is a fucking cool style.

NOTE: Anything that will make sure that an opponent doesn't pick up the other swords laying around and use them against you? Maybe a specialized handle that it takes training to use to attack/defend/throw effectively?
Just something to think about.

[Suzaku The Red]

I like this style enough to revamp it completely myself..but i'll feel wrong for taking over someone's idea. Hopefully Rui comes through with an answer soon.


Change the templates to HVRP style and you just may have something.
