Universal NAME: Kuikkufurikku [Quick Flick] RANK: D CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu ELEMENT: N/A HANDSEALS: N/A REQUIREMENT: N/A DESCRIPTION: Focusing a little chakra into their hands, and specifically fingers, users are able to quickly change the positioning of a weapon in their hand. From flipping around a sword to a large axe, any one handed item can almost immediately be switched from upside down to right-side up, or vice versa. This barely takes a blink, however because the user is quickly spinning the weapon between their fingers it doesn’t give them a strong grip. As such attacking while flipping a weapon around would probably end with the user dropping the weapon instead of surprising their opponent. On the other hand, before or after an attack or defense starts, the user is free to change the positioning of their weapon at will, with a little chakra and quick flick of their fingers.

Universal NAME: Rīfushīrujaguru [Leaf Seal Juggle] RANK: B CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu ELEMENT: N/A HANDSEALS: N/A REQUIREMENT: DESCRIPTION: A constant problem faced by bukijutsu users has always been what to do with their weapons when they need to form hand seals. This was an inventive solution thought up by the Leaf shinobi long ago, but has since spread throughout the world. Requiring strength of the hands and fingers and a lot of practice, this technique runs parallel to, and adds its minimal chakra cost to, any other jutsu that requires hand seals. The user will form the hand seals while carefully manipulating their weapon and weaving it’s handle or the flat of its blade between or over their fingers while they work. This technique still uses standard seals, and each hand seal and weapon combination comes with a particular way to hold the weapon, and to move it fluidly into the next seal. When a user is using this technique it can be a little fascinating as they quickly flick their weapon in little twisting circles around their hands when they seal. This can be used with large polearms by resting the haft in the crook of the elbows for most seals, but is mostly used while holding a single longsword or smaller, or while holding two short swords or smaller. Anything beyond that could be possible with increased strength or manual dexterity, but only to allow something like a great sword to be somehow worked into the juggling act. As impressive as this display looks, just like normal hand seals, it is still impossible to defend or attack with the weapon while using the Leaf Seal Juggle.

Quick flick feel like a D or E-rank jutsu.

Leaf seal juggle - Most bukijutsu don't require handseals so I don't think locking this to bukijutsu specialist makes sense. Furthermore, I think we allow hand seals made around a weapon in hand.

Blade sensing - buki spec makes more sense here, but I prefer jutsu not have this when you can establish that need through making jutsu A or S-rank. Furthermore, a single clash of weapons can only really give you certain information. Which a person could skew results by trying harder or not trying. I feel like this jutsu is just written excuse to block or parry all attacks, so I am hesitant without a clearer cause and reaction.

Yay! So, I bumped flick down to D rank,

for the juggle, I do think it is a difficult thing to do. I was wanting to make it buki required because, as I see it, it should take specialized weapon training to hold a weapon in such a way. This would preclude non-weapon experts from being able to just flip their weapons around with the same practice and skill as someone more trained in the art.

In regards to making seals with weapons in hand, I don't think I've ever seen it done. I could maybe picture it with a kunai, but I was under the impression that hands needed to be generally empty to do hand seals. If such is the case I can remove this jutsu as not needed, but I think this will enable a way to form hand seals without needing to worry about ambiguity.

I removed the last one, I need to rewrite it. It's not just for 1 clash, it is for sustained blade on blade contact over the course of posts, and would end the moment the blades disconnected. Otherwise you're right, however that doesn't take into account the other person also having this jutsu. xD

Rīfushīrujaguru [Leaf Seal Juggle] - My problem with this is still the idea that it's purely on the weapon skill to do this action. Bukijutsu primarily doesn't rely upon hand seals, so for them to learn this would imply a strong knowledge in ninjutsu as well. I think this should remain bukijutsu spec'd, but I still don't think the 'requires' buki specialist should be a thing. A-rank implies requires buki secondary and S-rank implies should require buki prime or sole, but I don't think this as a jutsu fits B-rank even. Though to make it more expensive and costly a decision, I'm going to say leave it at B-rank, but remove the requirement.

[Yume Esha]

Okie dokie! I removed the buki requirement from it. ^ - ^

[Yoshiko]

Okay, so I was able to get clarification on handseals with weapons. Depending on the weapon it is possible to perform jutsu with reasonable weapons in hand. So something like a very heavy weapon would possibly need this as a jutsu. Otherwise it can be done, but I do think it'd rather be done in an SA than as a jutsu. I personally will 1/2 if you want to clarify it simply allows one to do hand seals with any weapon regardless of it's awkwardness and do so with more finesse and like a better hold of the weapon?

I know others probably want this to be an SA, but I sort of like the idea of a small weapon master concentration to better hold a weapon and perform handseals.
