This sword technique is called the "Invincible Sword Style" for several reasons. This technique originated with one man, and like a family tree, it grew. As the technique was passed down, the more the tree grew. It is common for a generation to add a new technique to the Shigure Soen. This is a sword style that varies, depending on who your master was. Thus, there could be many different variations of the Shigure Soen Style.

The Shigure Soen Style is a notoriously deadly sword style that is only passed down to worthy successors. Each 'form' of the style is only shown once to the student - if the student is worthy to succeed, he only needs to see it once to remember how to use it from then on. It originally only had one form that was passed down through generations of successors with each successor creating and adding their own forms resulting in many branches of Shigure Soen Style. However, as new forms were created the weaker branches deteriorate and others disappear as there is no worthy successor. Hence this style can be called as the perfect, flawless style.

The Shigure Soen Style taught to Yamamoto consist of 8 forms; four defensive, four offensive. However, After Jirou learned this style, he added two new offensive forms to it.


1 Shajiku no Ame 車軸の雨 (Axle of Rain) - Offensive. Jirou charges forward and attacks with a thrust.
2 Sakamaku Ame 遣らずの雨 (Raging Rain) - Defensive. Jirou lifts waves of water around him then ducks, putting his sword protectively in front.
3 Yarazu no Ame 遣らずの雨 (Last Minute Rain) - Offensive. Jirou drops the katana kicking it with his foot to send it flying in a stab.
4 Gofuu Juuu 五風十雨 (May Wind, October Rain) - Defensive. Jirou synchronizes with one's opponent's breathing to evade attacks.
5 Samidare　五月雨 (Summer Rain) - Offensive. Jirou slashes diagonally but in midway he drops the sword, switching hands, before finishing the attack.
6 Unknown, deducted to be defensive.
7 Shibuki Ame　繁吹き雨 (Splashing Rain) - Defensive. Jirou holds the sword backwards and spins to create a whirlwind like shield.
8 Shinotsuku Ame　篠突く雨 (Pelting Rain) - Offensive. Jirou uses the blade of the sword to cut around the bearer.
9 Utsushi Ame　うつし雨 (Reflective Rain) - Offensive. Jirou makes a tidal wave with his sword and while his opponent is distracred by his reflection he attacks from above.
10 Beccata di Rondine (Swallow's Beak) - Offensive. Jirou thrusts his blade multiple times with one hand.

Name: Lust
Rank: C-rank
Type: Genjutsu
Element: None

Description:

After the target blinks, there is a slight change in scenery; quieter, calmer. The target will not realize what has changed immediately, but can be wary of the changes of being caught in a Genjutsu.

The first effect comes into play when a figure, one of the same sex of the target, appears. The target will feel aroused, and not know why until they examine themselves, and realize that they have been placed in a body of the opposite sex. The figure will attempt to seduce the target, and based upon the willpower (not everone has the fortitude of an steel wall, be realistic people, please), the target can attempt the resist the seductions.

By the second post, a Genjutsu user will come to their senses and can attempt to break free. However, each failed attempt increases the figures beauty and the targets arousal. By the third attempt, the target will eel a wind pic up, and on the horizon they will seem a large cyclone mving towards them, glowing with a light purplish unholy aura. As the cyclone moves closer, distant screams can be heard emitted from it; sul wrenching, teerrifying screams.

The target,upon hearing the dreaded and unearthly screams, will be so shaken that they will forget about trying to release the genjutsu, and flee not only the cyclone, but the seducing figure in front of them. By the enxt post, they will remember about the Genjutsu, and have one last chance to try and free themselves from it.

If the target does not free themselves by the next post, they will be swept up within the storm and suffer the same fate as the souls trapped in this cyclone due to their need to fulfill their sexual appetite.

Should the opponent attempt to break free without utilizing the correct terms, the Genjutsu will not end, having not been adequately dispelled, and will continue to attack the opponent.

5 posts after it begins, the Genjutsu will end, releasing the target and leaving them traumitized and shaken. Due to this, their ability to fight will be reduced by 50%
