Name: Kami-maijou (Bringer of great spirit)
Classification: Kogarasu (Dual edged Katana)
Rank: C
User: Saiya Family Line (currently 9 generations)
Special Properties: Chakra Condution/Chakra Poison
The special properties of the Kami-maijou are two fold. The chakra conduction is innate from its core material of Tairim as without it the Chakra Poison wouldn't be possible. The Chakra Poison is caused by the amalgam of chakra being focused to the blade by the user, that mix of chakra interacting with the targets' chakra.

The focused chakra manifests as a purple glow along the blade with burning vapors of life destroying chakra rising from it. This causes physical harm as the targets' chakra paths are violently disrupted and simultaneously hindered to the point of disrupting Jutsu and making natural healing impossible. Though anyone with sufficient chakra control (Rank B) can manage to cope with the disruption enough to be unhindered with jutsu. It should be noted that use of the chakra aspects of this weapon, specifically the amalgam require it to be reforged and the forger's chakra be added to the mix or the users own attempts will make them ill. Due to the nature of the weapon it has its own chakra signature.

Description:
The double edged curved blade with water blue hilt wrap is 36.5 inches in length with a width of 1.5 inches. It was first forged eight generations ago by Kaguya, Mizuya from ore found within a frozen mountain thought to be an ice burg. He wished to create a weapon to defeat his clan's enemies in the chaotic era of constant shinobi strife, before the time of villages. From this refined ore came a clear metal he called Tairim. The blade produced was a remarkably strong blade with a thin glass like edge. While Mizuya was able to survive for a long time with this blade of Tairim at his side, it didn't turn out to be the world killer he desired, but it did turn into a deadly companion. Before he retired from war the blade passed down to his youngest son Kaguya, Gin.

Gin trained with the sword not finding anything remarkable about it aside from its edge and durability. It had none of the fabled powers his father believed. This changed during a battle with a ninja of incredible power that controlled an entire region. The shinobi claimed to be a god rank ninja, using combinations of jutsu and technology to preform extreme effects like melting 'Fire-proof material'. This ninja decided to assault Gin's home village. During the assault Gin slashed the sword, defending his village and found the blade a flame. This flame was able to destroy the technology of the 'god ninja'. In the aftermath of the battle it was discovered that the sword had suffered minor damaged and couldn't be used in battle much longer. As a result he set off to search for replacement material in the war torn world.

Revisiting the mountain he never found Tairim to repair and reforge the clear blade. Gin as a result of the fruitless search, set off on a journey to find the finest ore. Searching in what would become the land of fire he fought through squads of ninja and eventually discovered black volcanic ore. Using this ore he reforged the weapon with katon, changing the clear blade to a darker smoke color. During the reforging he altered the base to have the great symbol of the Kaguya clan. At the end of Gin's life the blade was passed down to his child, a daughter named Kikyou.

Over time it was passed down and reforged with additional chakra and various ore. After it passed down two further generations from Kikyou to Odeki then to Reyona the blade had amassed a noticeable amount of power. Now with it in the newest generation's grasp the weapon wasn't used for defense, but to force the then scattered Kaguya clan into a  larger cohesive organization. Reyona thought herself the embodiment of a great spirit thanks to the weapons' power. But the Kaguya clan couldn't be forced by will and edict for long. In the end Reyona was killed by her eldest child, Midori.

Midori reforged the blade, named Kami by her oppressive mother, in a belief that she could overrun Reyona's energy with her own. As time passed the Kaguya started drifting apart, back into significantly smaller groups without a force to hold them. However Midori saw an end to the constant war on the horizon, things had seemed to be settling down. With that in mind the holder of the Kami blade reorganized the clan and using perverted edicts of Reyona in conjunction with the natural and accepted violence of the Kaguya, created rites and bonds within her fellow clansmen. This caused a more stable and cultured clan to emerge, one better suited to fight against united enemies. Midori stepped down from her position of power giving it to a dear friend before her health started to degrade. By the time of her death the chaos of inter clan war had begun to significantly settle. Shortly before she passed she transferred the blade to Umehana, her middle daughter.

Umehara renamed the blade Kami-maijou after receiving it, believing the blade did in fact bring a great spirit to its wielder, whether it be for good or ill. A few years after receiving the rechristened Kami-maijou dominant clans started to take their spots in the world. With the power of the demon beasts in mind Kaguya, Umehara reforged the Kami-maijou with hope of making more effective to combat these creatures. When she reforged the blade she added the new symbol for the Land of Water around the clan symbol. Additionally the woman discovered two things. One was that it was easier and much less dangerous to use the chakra of the blade after her chakra was instilled. The second was that there was now a potent amalgam she could stimulate to change the blade from somewhat normal looking metal to a glowing purple with dangerous vapor. A few short years after giving birth to her daughter Saiya, Umehara she died in the last battle against the seven tailed beetle only managing to injure it while the Hokage sealed it. Her husband retrieved the Kami-maijou from the battleground and gave it to Saiyo when she came of age.

Kaguya, Saiya became the keeper of the family sword and in a desire to learn about her mother, pursued armory to the exclusion of her family's traditional focus of shinobi training. Around the time of the shinobi war her activity was curtailed by her pregnancy caused by Toume. This prompted her to, like her family before her, reforge her family sword in hopes that it would bestow her chosen child with a bright future. Following the shinobi war a left over leaf force shattered her family and village. Using the Kami-maijou she slew as many leaf shinobi as she could see until she believed that they all had been dealt with. After several years she recovered most of her family, her husband Toume still lost. The family blade was passed to her middle son, Naito following the Kaguya clan Rite of Ascension. With Naito the ninth generation to wield the blade, she hoped that he would prosper.

Type: Taijutsu
Range: Close (0-5+m)
Element:
Description: The second of five dances, which is performed by modifying one of the user's upper arm bones to create a short, hilt-less bone sword. The user then stabs chaotically and continuously which causes the opponents eyes to lag behind. The speed resembles afterimages, the hand with the sword is again and again visibly projected and yet movement is irregular which makes it difficult to predict. The bone sword is as sharp as steel and can become even more dense while being formed if the user manipulates the bone to do so.

Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Close – Mid (0-9m)
Element: Non-Elemental
Description: Hardened bones from the fingertips are shot at the enemy, with a spinning motion added to the skeletal bullets. A direct hit will excavate skin, flesh, and bone. Since the bones of the user can be regenerated, the rate of fire from the user's arsenal is limitless.  

Type: Taijutsu
Range: Close (0-5m)
Element: Non-Elemental
Description: The first of the five dances. To perform this dance, the user grows several long bone blades from their body for use as weapons. There isn't any set form for the Willow Dance. Just like a willow that is shaken by the wind, the opponents attacks are simply parried and countered. Uncharacteristic of a willow, the hardened bones puncture and damage the opponents body. Though the user primarily uses two blades grown from the palms of their hands, they can also use several secondary bones grown from the elbows, knees, and shoulders. This dance form is incredibly acrobatic, using spins, charges, and long sweeping slashes to make the strikes more effective and to evade opponents' counter strikes. The user can also extend their bones from their body to attack the opponent without having to adjust their own movement.  

Type: Kenjutsu
Range: Close
Element: Non-Elemental
Description: Using their chakra to augment their own power, this jutsu allows the wielder of a bladed weapon to cleave through a solid substance such as stone or a block of iron with ease. However, because the jutsu is used through the person and not the weapon if it is not crafted well, it could very well break as a result.

Type: Taijutsu
Range: Close (0-5m)
Element: Non-Elemental
Description: A technique where one follows the opponent, closely matching his or her body's movement, just like a leaf that dances in the air is followed by its shadow. The technique is usually preceded by a swift upper kick that will launch the target into the air. It is mainly used to position an opponent into a vulnerable aerial position. This move by itself is harmless, but it is usable as a stepping stone for a great many powerful techniques, as it allows one to position themselves in order to utilize other techniques That said, it also has a rather high degree of difficulty.  

Type: Kenjutsu
Range: Long
Element: Non-Element
Description: This is an extension of the guiding principals of the Bone Edge jutsu applied to the shuriken and fuma-shuriken due to it being the only weapons of appropriate design. Like its predecessor, Kaguya manipulated bone is formed around the shuriken to increase it's sharpness, but as it is released a chakra connection is maintained allowing the aerodynamics to be altered mid flight allowing it to be steered as long as it has enough momentum and glide. It takes a great deal of concentration and control to keep a ranged link at Naito's level of training (Genin).

Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Close
Element: Suiton
Description: This technique is used to trap a victim inside a virtually inescapable sphere of water. The only downside to this technique is that the user must keep at least one arm inside the sphere at all times in order for the victim to remain imprisoned. This technique requires a sufficient amount of water, which can be provided by expelling it from one's mouth. Despite the fact that the prison is made up entirely out of water, it is stronger than steel. Once trapped the target is unable to move while within it due to the heaviness of the water. Because of the density of the water it can be used, to a limited extent, for defensive purposes if performed on oneself. Water clones can be used in preparation for the technique, which block an opponent's attack and trap the attacker in the prison using the clone's own water. It can also be stored in scrolls as traps.

Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Close - Long
Element: Suiton
Description:  A technique that allows the user to create a thick mist that drizzles rain upon the area it reaches. Its maximum range is 12 meters. This mist is attuned to the user's chakra and will nullify any chakra it comes into contact with, that is not of the same signature as the original user. Thereby, it weakens the chakra of those who are caught in the mist, making their jutsu considerably weaker.

Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Element: Suiton
Description: The user blends in with water to be undetected by the enemy. They may emerge from the water, without their shape being given away, as if they themselves were the water. This technique is usable even in water as shallow as a puddle.

Type: Eijutsu
Range: Touch
Element: Yang
Description: By using soothing Chakra, rashes and burns can be cooled to make a patient more comfortable. Small cuts and grazes can be made to clot, it can also numb an area slightly to help with small pain and lancing. It only works on surface injuries and takes a great deal of concentration.

Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Close - Mid
Element: Suiton
Description: This displacement technique causes a mist to spring forth from either a nearby water source or from the user's manifested water. The mist thickens and surrounds a radius of up to 9 meters, maximum. The user is free to then goes in and out of sight at will from within the pearly-white realm. The mist's thickness is controlled by the amount of chakra kneaded into it.

Type: Kenjutsu
Range: Long
Element: Non-Elemental
Description: With this technique a translucent string or wire is attached to a shuriken, making it possible to alter its path after having thrown it. An expert will have the ability to freely glide the shuriken in any direction with just a single movement of their fingertip. The first attack, challenging the enemy, is avoided and after a time-lag of several seconds, it will come from behind. Depending on the performance, the possible tactics can be infinite

Type: Kenjutsu
Range: Long
Element:  Non-Elemental
Description: This jutsu uses the Kaguya's natural ability of bone manipulation to enhance thrown weapons. Bone is formed around the shuriken or other small weapon like kunai or fuma-shuriken, lining their edges with sharper bone given them the ability to pierce light metal armor and partly penetrate stone walls. Additionally the aerodynamics are enhanced to improve accuracy and enable guided shots, like curved flight paths.

Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Close
Element: Non-Elemental
Description: This jutsu lets the user quickly switch places with another nearby object, such as a plant (normally a section of a log), an animal, or even another person within reach, the moment an attack hits. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. The user can then use this confusion to escape or launch a counter-attack. Exploding tags can be attached to the replacement for an added surprise.  

Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Element: Non-Elemental
Description: This tehniwue allows a ninja to take a cloak or piece of loth and blend into an object, making them invisible.

Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Element: Non-Elemental
Description: This technique creates intangible copies of the user. The clones are simply illusions and will dissipate when they come into contact with something. These illusions however have been shown to be easily distinguishable by persons with ocular jutsu. A person with normal eyes can also distinguish the clones from the original, since the clones do not have shadows and will not disrupt the area around themselves with their movement (i.e. won't kick up dust, crush grass, etc.).

Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Element: Non-Elemental
Description: A basic technique taught at the Academy. It allows a ninja to free themselves using chakra if they have been tied up

Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Element: Non-Elemental
Description: This jutsu allows the user to transform either themselves or another object into the appearance of another person, animal, or object. This is one of the basic jutsu taught at the Shinobi Academy, and most Shinobi know this jutsu. The transformation technique is considered to be among the more difficult E-ranked techniques, since it requires constant emission of chakra while mentally maintaining the form. On top of that, the user would be, most likely, interacting with the environment. This puts mental strain on an inexperienced ninja. Thus the best way to determine if it is indeed a transformation is to cause this strain upon the user; though this is of course not always successful.
