Kamae: Hebi Zenshin Youshiki (Style/Pose: the Serpent Driver [Western] Style)
Taijutsu
Name: Hebi Zenshin: Touza Shikon (Serpent Drive: Immediate Fang)
Ability: The user thrusts forward with a horizontal thrust using all their speed. While it has an easy dodgability, it has unmatched power when compared to any swing or slash, due to it's single point of contact. As long as the users speed is atleast slightly higher (by 5 points at least) the blade is sure to strike, as it's an unusual and unpredictable technique, as well as near impossible to deflect due to the sheer power of the move. Usually used in conjunction with the celestial gates.
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage: 10 in addition to max blade damage
User: Arashi invented, must be taught or copied by him. Requires a sword. Genin.
Inventor: Katate-Dzuki Arashi
Price: 1,000 yen
Name: Hebi Zenshin: Chokugo Shikon (Serpent Drive: Immediately Following Fang)
Ability: A follow-up move to the Hebi Zenshin: Touza Shikon. As the thrust takes contact with the person, or if the attack is blocked at the point of contact, then the user ducks down low as they still move forward, keeping the blade tip as a focal point of power. Once directly under the opponent, the user pushes the opponent up into the air. Spinning with the secondary thrust, the user twists the blade away, swinging it around his back and delivering a full-moon slash as the opponent rises. Meant to follow the first thrust in the same movement. At the end, both users are in the air.
Chakra Cost: 50
Damage: 20-30 in addition to max blade damage.
User: Arashi invented, must be taught or copied by him. Requires a sword and knowledge of Hebi Zenshin: Touza Shikon (Serpent Drive: Immediate Fang). High Genin.
Inventor: Katate-Dzuki Arashi
Price: 2,000 yen
Name: Hebi Zenshin: Sokutou Shikon (Serpent Drive: Immediate Reply Fang)
Ability: A defensive thrust, it is not especially different from the Hebi Zenshin: Touza Shikon. The user reacts to an opponents jutsu or attack, and uses an amazingly powerful thrust to counter attack, redirect, or minimally block the attack. Against a jutsu, say the grand fireball, the thrust is usually presented as a counter attack, diving at the opponents jutsu with the weapon used as a splitting wedge, to take minimal damage from the attack and throw the opponent off guard with the odd strike coming at him. Against a weapon, the thrust is no longer a horizontal slash but a vertical one with the blade facing upwards, to deflect a blade or block a broader attack. The technique requires so much chakra so that it can efficiently work as a shield to ensure that the user and additionally the blade do not take damage.
Chakra Cost: 70
Damage: 40-50 in addition to max blade damage.
User: Arashi invented, must be taught or copied by him. Requires a sword and knowledge of Hebi Zenshin: Chokugo Shikon (Serpent Drive: Immediately Following Fang). Chunin.
Inventor: Katate-Dzuki Arashi
Price: 3, 000 yen
Name: Hebi Zenshin: Hitokuchiakinai Shikon (Serpent Drive: Immediate Definite Deal Fang)
Ability: The final thrust technique, it is one of great destructive potential. When used to challenge the master of a dojo, Arashi used an intentionally damaged bokken (bamboo training sword). He used the thrust, which sent the opponent through a large boulder in the rock garden outside the dojo, and proceeded to slam him through the wall of the property. The bokken was shredded to torn threads, up to the hilt.
The technique pursues the original thrust with a vast wave of chakra, spinning about the blade. This gives it more of a pierce as a screw pierces and less of the way as a needles pierces. With the spinning chakra, it makes a much more accurate thrust, able to pierce through almost any shield. Much like it's inspiration, the rasengan, should the target not become killed by it, it does rocket them violently in the path of the thrust due to the chakra's sudden release.
The technique itself is only a more vicious and draining form of the basic thrust, though certain principles must be understood to fully achieve the technique. Otherwise, it will only be an incomplete mockery. Thus to truly learn it, one must take part in a weeklong meditation and training session under it's creator, Arashi. So far, noone has completed the training, which it is said takes all the talents of a true elite shinobi swordsman.
Chakra Cost: 150
Damage: 60-90 in addition to max blade damage.
