Akasha's Weapons: Bladeworks for the Curious [Don't Move/Lock, Vault Mode Activated]

Name: Experimental Blade Project Mark. IV, Codename KTNA
Type: Bladed
Appearance:

Spoiler:

Rank: A-rank
Special Abilities: N/A
Origin:
This long katana was the result of Akasha's second successful foray into the realms of smithing. She had tried multiple times in the past, for when her interest in the 'shinies' only sharpened with age it was only a matter of time until she would attempt to make them herself. After several unsuccessful attempts Akasha came to abandon this hobby project in favour of focusing more on her ability to actually use the weapons. It was only later on, when her knowledge in sealing had grown enough to begin exploring the field as she herself wished that she began to meet some succes. And even then it was not until Akasha went through her three years of therapy that she applied herself fully, developing ways of creation that focused around the art of fūinjutsu. By applying the right radicals to already established formulaic seals, Akasha had devised a way to control the heat of the of the forge, the hammering that reduced impurities, and the folding of the metal in such a way that she could duplicate the skills of certain smiths to produce masterful mundane weapons. Codename KTNA was the second successful creation utilizing this trailblazing method, forged to exquisiteness. Thanks to her exact specifications and control of the forging, it was possible to use the famous seven layer forging method, the Soshu Kitae to produce a blade that, while not peerless, clearly stood head and shoulder's above what a ninja might otherwise be able to get their hands on, even from quality craftsmen. The forging itself was a time consuming task

But for me it is free since I'm a Bukijutsu Master.

I believe this will count for my free medium length katana.





Name: Hakkō Chakura Tō - White Light Chakra Sabre/Corona Chakra Sabre

Type: Bladed

Appearance:
In its deactivated form the Hakkō Chakura Tō is nothing more than an ordinary 6 inch handle leading up to a circular guard without special decorations, with a blunt, white glowing tantō blade 9 inches in length. The handle is wrapped in sharkskin to help with gripping it and the color of this sharkskin is yellow. When activated (via its ability) it has three standard forms, each form having the glowing whiteness of the blade in common. The saya for the weapon, sized for its unactivated form, has an interior lining marked with fūinjutsu that allows the blade to be kept in the saya even in an activated mode without damaging neither sheath nor weapon.

The first basic activated form is that of a straight, double-edged tanto with a white blade, the blade being about 10 inches in length and the handle remaining the same as previously mentioned. This makes the blade of the standard length for the normal tantō techniques of the Hakkōryū of Bukijutsu

The second basic activated form is that of a wakizashi. Activating into this form lengthens the handle to 9 inches and the blade to 18 inches, making this blade is of the standard length for the normal wakizashi techniques of the Hakkōryū of Bukijutsu

The third basic form is that of a katana. With a blade length of 27 inches and a handle length of 12 inches this blade is of the standard length for the normal katana techniques of the Hakkōryū of Bukijutsu

Activating the blade allows the user to switch the weapon into any form the user currently know at the cost of a D-rank. Switching from one form to another also costs a D-rank.

Rank: S-rank

Special Abilities:
A-rank | Light Blade Trail
Owing to the large number of fūin etched into the blade's surface and each layer of the weapon itself combined with the way in which the weapon was forged has turned the Hakkō Chakura Tō into a light absorbing and generating item. The fūin involved in the weapon's construction allows the blade of the weapon to absorb the light that falls on it from any and all sources. Once absorbed it is stored and its wavelength is altered before the ligt is once again emitted which, beyond a glow of white, also charges the air around it in such a way that it leaves a trail of white light behind it, the trail lasting for a post. It leaves this trail of light behind it irregardless of being activated (switched into a form) or not. In game terms this property is only active during the first two posts in a topic that the blade is drawn, to leave a trail of light beyond this the wielder of the weapon has to use a chakra technique through the weapon, something that stimulates the fūinjutsu arrays in the weapon to generate more of the special light.

Because of how this light interacts with chakra, a side effect from the fūinjutsu areays used in the forging process, it is extremely irritating and/or almost harmful to enemy dōjutsu users, causing them to suffer the effects of at first mild headaches that overtime worsens along with the appearance of blurred vision, symptoms that finally develop into severe migraines and very blurred vision coupled with vertigo. This is a result of the light trail weakly interacting with the nature chakra that naturally occurs in all mediums, but this does not allow the wielder of the weapon itself to interact with the nature chakra unless the wielder has a clan/sage mode/curse seal/other technique that allows him/her to do this. This trail of light can gain additional properties when the wielder of the weapon infuses the light with their own chakra, properties that will have to be expanded upon in future techniques but one example would be to make a slash with the weapon while infusing the light trail behind it with chakra via a jutsu, a jutsu that then sends said light trail shooting out as a projectile.

The user can apply a small amount of chakra to the blade of the weapon in order to switch it between its various forms, each having the proper mass and balance expected by a weapon of that size, made by steel. Each form beyond the basic three need to be registered as a D-ranked Fūinjutsu-Bukijutsu technique, and switching to any form (including activating the blade in the first place) costs a D-ranked amount of chakra (this cost can be reduced with a sufficient Bukijutsu CS level as if it was a bukijutsu technique). This is done by taking the light emitted from the blade of this weapon and the properties said light gains when infused with chakra to form the entire weapon into a new weapon, overlaying the old form with a structure of light. This can be done as long as this new weapon form is bladed and has a handle, but if the new form is much larger than the one previously changed to (like going from a dagger to a flamberge/tantō to a katana) the cost of the change increases to that of a C-ranked chakra amount. The activated forms have the very same durability as the normal weapon itself.

Origin:
It began with an idea flashing into existence, then burning brightly enough to etch itself stuck into Akasha's mind. The idea was this: A blade forged out of captured light. The capture point would, of course, be that of a piece of high quality steel etched with layer upon layer of fūinjutsu. Mirrors would be needed, lots of them, all aimed so that the piece of metal would be illuminated across its entire surface area. Magma would also be needed, or something that could simulate the heat. And then an area where she could work without interruption. The first problem could be solved with time, ink, and chakra. The second problem required mirrors, very many lots of mirrors, but that could also be solved, they just needed space. The third problem could be done with her already developed sealing arrays designed for forging. The solution to the fourth problem would also solve part of the second problem, the required space to do this forging would be massive, perhaps a vault?

And so it came to be that one day, when a massive storm battered Mizu no Kuni and, by extension, Kirigakure no Sato, Akasha found herself in a refurbished cave, trying to finish her work before the water broke through the seals and ruined her cave and all the hard work she had gone through. Focusing intently on the three dimensional light construct that floated in the air before her, mimicking the inscribed hunk of steel in the cave before her. The flash of lightning and Akasha smiled to herself, her hands and arms bursting into a flurry of activity, chakra at her finger tips allowing her to interact with the fūin generated hologram image, the array imposing corresponding changes upon the sealed metal in the cave's center. The peal of thunder, and then another flash. The capacitors would be charged soon.

It took six hours of preventing water to from streaming inwhile splitting her attention between the forging process and the temporary continuance of her subterranean light flash forge, to speak nothing of the prior week in which the forge itself had to built and secured, before the blade was ready for the final treatment process. With a flash of light almost as bright as the noon sun, the cave lit aglow, discharging the collected photons and focusing them on the blade shape in its midst. Lost in an infinity of white light, Akasha had smiled. It was a success.
