Hana Katana Ninpou: Odori (Flower Sword Ninja Art: Dance)
Rank: "B"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Splits the Hana Ninpou: Hana Katana technique into a large number of floating flower petals, which retain their sharpened form and can be controlled by the user’s chakra.
Special: Running the user’s hand over the already formulated blade.
Drawback: Drains an additional E rank amount of chakra per turn to utilize. The speed of the attack is based upon the user’s own taijutsu specialty. Only other Hana Katana techniques may be utilized when this technique is active.
Description: A technique of both simplicity and complexity, it is also one of the most pretty, yet fearsome, attacks within the Ikebana arsenal. Focusing upon the link already left by the user’s chakra drain with the sword, this technique simply continues that link. By expending a greater amount of chakra, the user becomes capable of splitting the multitude of flower petals that make up the Hana Katana. Once broken apart, the flower petals will maintain their sharpness and sturdiness. In addition to this, the user may control these floating flower petals, allowing him or her to attack one or multiple opponents with ease. The more petals that were used in the creation of the Hana Katana, the more petals the user will be capable of controlling in this manner.
Limit: Must be in the Ikebana Clan. Must know Hana Ninpou: Hana Katana (Flower Ninja Art: Flower Sword)
Now that Ryutatsu had his blades it was time to use them and manipulate them. Each one was a little razor blade a piece of a whole. They were his sword and now his shuriken or something close. But unlike how they would be otherwise these were under his field of control. These didn't have the same limitations as his sakurai petals or his magnetic limitations.
No Ryutatsu found a technique that fit him and had some reach. This was what he needed he felt. And Ryutatsu was smiling and laughing as the petals flew around him. With a wave of his hand he sent them to shred a tree and then recalled them. He could defend and attack with his tiny blades. Ryutatsu used his tiny blades for a bit to get a feel for the drain he was putting on his system.
Ryutatsu shook his head at the pull of constant energy needed to control and manipulate the petal blades. He reformed them into a sword one more time before finally dismissing it. Then he went back to his Ikebana guide book given to him so long ago after that first dome match. He was checking his actions versus what was said in the book. It wasn't the easiest thing to read as it was more an historical account.
I Am Lightning, The Rain Transformed The elements are beautiful yet deadly I survive to listen to their medley The lighting strikes without warning For on earth I see it's pouring.

Joy and love the final key to set this filthy world free. Until that time let thy be warned I am lightning, rain transformed.

Ryutatsu was interested in improving his skills to match that of smiths that were legendary or becoming that way. Loki and Shiki were the inspiration for this aspiration. So to begin that process he began a compare and contrast of his jutsu created swords versus his crafted stuff. He had many a jutsu that created a sword for him to use that had different properties. The materials they were made out of were important there as well.
Ryutatsu figured the first sword of his summons to examine would be his rose thorn sword. This sword he summoned by first summoning a flower, specifically a rose. He would then pluck that rose and apply a jutsu over it. Gripping the stem, the rose grew and formed into the shape of a katana. A serrated katana with the thorns as the serration. It was a fine piece that holds up well in combat.
But when he put it together against Nightin Gale it was a pale imitation. The green vine that was the blade was to thick and rough. And the serration caused by the thorns would cause damage but not the clean single stroke of a true katana. He would still use the rose thorn but no it was not as good as the craft. He planted the rose sword in the dirt as he thought what to compare next.

Ryutatsu hummed for a minute then summoned up another sword. This one was similar but very different to the Rose Thorn Sword. This was another in the Ikebana Clan secrets though. With a few hand seals a shower of petals came to him and began to form another beautiful Katana in his hand. The flow of the petals was a entrancing sight to behold as the sword formed.
This particular sword of Ryutatsu's was a much better quality blade than the Rose Thorn sword. He compared the Flower Petal Sword to his Rose Thorn Sword. And the differences were large. Basically the very differences that were true for Nightin Gale to the Rose Thorn Sword. It was time for a different comparison. He was comparing the Flower Petal Sword to Nightin Gale.
Nightin Gale was still a better quality sword in craftsmanship. But The Flower Sword was much lighter than Nightin Gale. And another thing The Flower Petal sword had a much finer edge. But the down side of using petals was the constant drain of Chakra to keep them that way. No, a Physical sword could still have to much use compared to that one. With a way of a hand the petals broke apart for now.

Ryutatsu shook his head at what he has figured out so far about his various sword summons. The Petal Flower Katana took energy and while high quality was not better than the Nightin Gale. It though did offer some advantages to Nightin Gale. Rose Thorn was a summon and done kind of Katana. But it was a rough and pale imitation compared to Nightin Gale.
Ryutatsu shook his head at that level of comparison he was doing. So far Nightin Gale was just too good, and maybe if he did well enough he could create such a weapon. So two down this next one required a little prep as he summoned his lightning petals first. Then it was another series of hand seals to bring them together. He held out his hand and suddenly another petal sword formed.
But unlike the last one the petals were just lightning Chakra. This one had no cutting edge at all. It was made to be a shocker, really. Again it weighed practically nothing for him to use. It was good if he was using his sword techniques and was trying not to kill the person. But the petals eliminated stealth completely. So it had it's place in his arsenal but was definitely something that had less use than a real sword.

Ryutatsu shook his head as he dismissed the electrical field of petals around him and released the sword. Ryutatsu had now compared three of his summons to each other and to his physical sword. Though he did have three physically crafted swords. Something that was interesting was the Rose Thorn would stay whether or not he was feeding it chakra the others did not.
Ryutatsu had one more sword summon left that he had to look at. He knew it wouldn't compare but best to be thorough. Ryutatsu did another series of hand seals and out of the nearest tree grew literally a wooden Katana. This Katana was basically a bokken a training sword. It was a Katana and had a cutting edge if barely. It's wooden body was very sturdy and thick.
Ryutatsu noted it was lighter than the metal sword but that was about it. Rose Thorn weighed about the same and had a better edge due to the thorns. Flower Petal Katana and the Sakurai Electrical Sword were both so light they hardly existed. Ryutatsu shook his head, it was about what he expected. Low quality but physically robust sword. It didn't require constant chakra though either.

Ryutatsu dismissed all the nonphysical swords and looked at what he had left. He had a wooden Katana that tried to be a real sword. A vine of a rose with thorns in the shape of a blade. And then he had Nightin Gale a pinnacle of craftsmanship. This was the reason he was becoming a better smith in the forge. He had one last comparison left his other forged swords.
Ryutatsu took Nightin Gale over to the rack and looked at the differences between them. The first sword and the one he used for training. That one had seen to much age and work anymore. It was once a fine piece but just isn't anymore. The next one beside it was a newer piece but was in much better condition. It was a masterwork item from a fairly good craftsman.
That second piece of Ryutatsu's was found at a really weird party and ritual of Loki's. So that brought him back to the piece crafted by Loki. For one this was not a steel blade but something much rarer. Second the workmanship detail that went into this was far beyond merely a master. No it was near perfection for a sword. This was the goal of any smith of his craft. Long after he is gone this sword will still be great.

Ryutatsu knew there was more to his crafts than Katanas. He was working on a craft that tested his abilities greatly. The shield he was making was fairly complicated mesh. It was a shield and a sword with chain connectors. But not only that it was that twice over and pushed to where it was one and two. That meant his skills better be up for the challenge of this task.
Ryutatsu only knew of one real way to make his skills up to snuff with this. He would have to refine his process to make it just right for how he crafted. The refinement process though was interesting for while the books helped. It was all on him the decisions on what actually needed to be where and how refined. He would be the ultimate authority of his craft after this. The customer may be the one requesting stuff but he would be the master.
Ryutatsu knew this as a integral part of growing up and making it where he stood on his own two feet. Besides if he could accomplish this task on his own he could earn serious money doing it. Shiki and Loki were sure rich after becoming masters of their crafts. But it was long and hard work to reach that stage for one. And even longer work of actually crafting every piece to be sold.

Ryutatsu knew he had this long road ahead of him. But that was what made the journey worth while. The end result was not always the point of any task. No the end was just that an end. The best part of any story was the progression in his opinion. And this was his story to progress at a pace that suited him. Everything was a testament of his journey through life. He was the writer of this journey by the choices he made.
It was Ryutatsu's decision to become a tradesmen. It was also his decision to make that trade of beauty and war. He would craft the best weapons the world has known like Loki has before him. Besides it was a fitting trade for a Shinobi of a nation at war. They were at war with the Gale Empire and if Kumo did not have weapons to combat them we would lose. This was a truth of this land.
Ryutatsu was a warrior and a smith. Who better he thought to make the very best for his nation and for people like his cousin. Ryutatsu knew he was the best one for the job either way. He had to make sure he was really the best though. And what always makes a person better? Well training of course makes a person better at a specific task. His task was that of making the implements of war.

Ryutatsu finished his wool gathering and when to his little corner of this old prison. In the cells below the ground he had a small set up for his entertainment. There was no prisoners or anyone being tortured here anymore. But the space was still available to do with as he pleased. He really needed to get some repair people here to fix the place up nice for the students.
Ryutatsu could see that the Senri Dojo had be very well constructed with forethought and care. He could also tell that it was Shiki's guiding hand that made it that way. If his own crafts were going be anywhere as good, he needed to improve. And he needed a place to do that improvement. While using the communal smithy that had everything he could want was nice. He really needed his own place as well.
Ryutatsu though if that one old hallway could be repaired a small little forge for his crafts could be added easily enough. He so far used the forge of Tatsuo and the grand Forge of the Senri School founded by Shiki. The Senri Schools Forge was perfect for any task that was for sure. It certainly helped his crafts as he had progressed so far. But it would be bad to train and be in the way of others there.

Ryutatsu set up a little area in the cells as a temporary training area for smith work. It was a slow and heavy process to move an anvil and other tools into the cells. They couldn't stay there forever of course. For the ventilation of the cells was poor and that was only one problem. These were the makeshift tools that he got off the old man Tatsuo and could make out of raw materials.
Ryutatsu worked long and hard bringing in tools into his own little corner space for training. Then he set up a makeshift hearth to train over. But he needed to set up some proper venation while he did this. The stuff he would create here would not be for use or to sell, no they would be for training and for scraps. Little bit at a time he would improve his processes on his own terms.
Ryutatsu knew that certain major portions would not change of his process. It would be the little things that he could do better or quicker that would make the difference. Each little bit added up though until he would make true masterpieces. But turning his mind back at hand which was bring the appropriate tools to this place. He first needed to decide what kind of forge would be in here.

Ryutatsu hummed for a minute and decided on a basic coal forge for it was the easiest to set up. This would be a training forge so no need to get all fancy it was going to be a basic set up. He started clearing out the rubble of a destroyed hallway that lead to an open room that could be converted into a forge easily. He decided a basic coal forge would definitely fit in this room.
Ryutatsu pushed a pre-made iron hearth into a corner nearest to the surface. Then with his power over magnetism he shoved a steel alloy pipe into the earth through the stone. This would be the tuyere. A wire ran up through near the pipe for blasting air into the furnace. The wire connected to a bellow set to mechanically control the air. Then the whole thing was set up for a back draft so he didn't need to convert the coal for his fire.
Then he moved into cell and grabbed the Anvil he stored there. Ryutatsu used more of his blood limit powers to place the anvil near the Hearth but far enough away that he could work at it. Next was all of his hammers he would need. But before that he needed a place for them. Right above the anvil he moved a flat plane of metal with spokes to hold his hammers and embedded it into the wall.

Ryutatsu began to bring in the hammers when he had the mount up. First was the heaviest at thirty pounds. It was a heavy Sledge for striking as a starter. Then came in a flood of other hammers of various shapes and sizes. A rounding hammer, a Ball-peen hammer, Cross-peen hammer, Straight-peen hammer were just some of the hammers he brought in. A chisel mad of high grade steel was brought in.
Ryutatsu wasn't finished bringing in and setting up various tools. He also brought in a whole suite of tongs, including but not limited to flat tongs, ring tongs, gad tongs, and straight lip fluted tongs. Several types of fullers were brought in for shaping the various weapons and tools. A Hardy was another tool he brought in to fill the every growing tool wall. A basic slack tub was brought in, little more than a steel barrel.
Ryutatsu set up in another corner a machinist set up with a drop hammer. The drop hammer was done with mechanical power. This shop was powered by a limited power generation from a nearby river. He had used the nearby river to set up a finery forge portion of the smithy. Then finished up with bars of common materials to craft other makeshift tools as needed and for training with.
I Am Lightning, The Rain Transformed The elements are beautiful yet deadly I survive to listen to their medley The lighting strikes without warning For on earth I see it's pouring. Wicked witches, vicious man scream and shout their evil plan. Judgment day will finally come no more sin, the final sum. hate and war no longer count for fear has found it's pale mount. Joy and love the final key to set this filthy world free. Until that time let thy be warned I am lightning, rain transformed.

Now that Ryutatsu finished setting up the little training forge in one of the back rooms that he cleaned up, he began to shift stuff around. He was standing around in the room moving the various parts of the forge around. He was trying to find the optimum placement of everything he could move around. And since everything was at least majority metal it was easy for him to move it around.
Ryutatsu mostly just moved the tools around and reached for them. He was trying to find a balance between what was comfortable and what was efficient. For the best kind of set up was a balance between the two. It took many hours until he got a good enough set up. It wasn't quite how it should be but he needed to actually use his forge to figure out better. SO Ryutatsu began to stoke up the flames of the hearth.
Ryutatsu activated the various mechanical machines in his forge. He was not so adopted to the old ways that the machines could not be used. Besides he could do three kinds of forging in this room with how he put it together. He had the traditional coal or hearth burning forge that was most common. He had a refining water mill forge by using the river from up above. And then he also had the drop hammer forging machine set up.

Wicked witches, vicious man scream and shout their evil plan. Judgment day will finally come no more sin, the final sum. hate and war no longer count for fear has found it's pale mount. Joy and love the final key to set this filthy world free. Until that time let thy be warned I am lightning, rain transformed.

Finally Ryutatsu had his set up good to go. It was very hot in this room very quickly. That was when the placement of the room came into play. The room was near enough to a river that the cool waters kept a whole wall cool. That in turn cool the room off a little bit. But it was the ventilation that he added that took care the worst of the heat and all the smoke. Not that he had too much trouble with it anyways.
He set up the materials for his training to heat up. It was the preparation phase of forging master pieces. Ryutatsu knew he had what he need and it was time to work. But a quick break was in order. So he left the room to a cool resting room that was next door. This where he could rinse off and just be cool. Down back towards the stairs was his kitchen that he had set up for himself.

Now the tools in Ryutatsu's little shop were just the basics that he bought. Besides he still needed to clean his stone floor of hazards. So with the ease of somebody use to hard labor he made short work of cleaning out the area. As he worked it finally looked as a fully functioning Smithy. For a Basic Smithy he had done well to include many types of forging in there. There was just enough space for two people to work.
But the problem now was to customize and optimize the tools that he had. For while have a general single set of everything was nice it was only a beginning. There was many a precise shape and weigt that some of these tools needed. And he planned on making a lot of them out of different materials just for variance. It would not be a easy process but it would also help him get use to his new forge.
First would be taking a few of the spare giant hammers he had and shaping those. The big sledges were used for the strikers. But in this forge he had just himself. The metal one didn't really need a handle. With his abilities he could use a bigger one with ease. No he was taking a slightly smaller one and chiseling out the edges to give it a more rounded shape. This is to help with certain projects.

Ryutatsu worked on the hammer for hours. He was careful of every little chip he took off the hammer. For if he took off to much the wasn't much he could do to repair that. Beside the fact he was pounding metal against metal. This was a finished product that he was modifying for his purposes. That meant it didn't have the soften nature of what was hanging over the hearth. He worked on this hammer until he was satisfied.
But satisfaction was a thing that Ryutatsu knew would take a long while. Something his smithy had that few others had was that little cool area next door. It was also becoming a makeshift office. Nothing fancy of course, heck it was barely basic. But this back area was becoming truly his. Now he didn't have a heavy steel slab that Shiki had blocking his office, but he had his own door sort of.
The doors that lead down the passageway to what would become his office area had a series of three barred doors. It made it impossible to just straight down the hallway. It seemed that this may have been the warden and the servants area at one point. It was fun discovering new things and fixing up of his little Senri School Extension. The Passage way was more interesting because of the tree roots that grew into it.
