Name : Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū
Origins : Yuki Clan
Characteristics :
This is an ancient kenjutsu style from the Asuma Yuki, developed to allow a single Kenjutsu Master to defeat numerous foes single-handedly. Rooted in the concept of to strike in a single blow, practitioners of this style use a combination of immense speed and agility, battōjutsu, and acquired, observation-based pseudo-clairvoyance that permits a practitioner to anticipate an opponent's movements. Both offensive and defensive maneuvers are executed with minimal movement to increase a practitioner's ability to counter-attack and to conserve energy.
The style commonly has the user keep one hand on the sheath at all times and stresses two-step attacks to ensure that the practitioner is never off guard while executing said attacks and allows the user to use the sheathe as a shield to block attacks. Arguably, its most well-known trait is the surreal speed practitioners of this style used in battle (known as Shinsoku, or godspeed), allowing the user to accelerate, maneuver, and strike at speeds most eyes are unable to properly follow. This allows the user to close considerable distance in seconds and strike down enemies before they can react. Despite each successor to this style becoming true masters of its teachings and skills, rarely have any of them been able to use this style to true perfection and bring out its full potential.
All kenjutsu that fall under this style gain a speed and strength boost of +30
History :
This technique was never invented in the Yuki clan, however, it was just merely adopted into the clan by the former leader Lucius Yuki, who had a love for kenjutsu more than his clan techniques. Having passed on the technique to his daughter, this style can now be utilized with Ice and Water based ninjutsu to create a new deadly style referred to Lucianna as Nin-Kenjutsu.
