Ishikiri Inju
(石切り印綬, Stone-Cutting Ribbon)
Special - Offensive
Stone-Cutting Ribbon is a special sword passed down through each generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. It is a double-edged broadsword roughly six inches wide, the entire blade being wrapped in one long, sturdy ribbon.
Stone-Cutting Ribbon is able to pass on its durability and cutting power to the ribbon attached to it, allowing it to cut like a normal blade, as well as block other attacks and restrain people. It obtained its name because this ability once enabled the original owner to cut through solid stone with it.
The ribbon is under the full control of the sword, thus allowing Tsuyoki to control is as effectively as she can the sword itself. It is able to operate a short distance away from her, range similar to that of a Water Clone, before it would fall out of her control.
Yōdo
(用度, Supplies)
Common - Offensive
On Tsuyoki's person are a number of common shinobi items. A shuriken holster is strapped to her left thigh, housing six shuriken. One kunai is hidden up either sleeve, making for quick access when the situation calls. On the underside of her coat are four small pockets, two on either side, containing scrolls which in turn contain copious amounts of other shuriken, kunai, senbon, exploding tags, smoke grenades, caltrops, wiring, and fūma shuriken. Tsuyoki also keeps a standard length katana, blue scabbard and handle, sealed into one of these scrolls, as it was her original weapon before obtaining the Ishikiri Inju.
Se Makijiku
(瀬巻軸, Torrent Scroll)
Unique - Supplementary
The Torrent Scroll is a special scroll used by the Shinobigatana Tsuyoki. When her sword is not out strapped to her back, she keeps it sealed in a scroll and then layers a trap on top of that seal. In order to access Ishikiri Inju, one must perform the needed hand seal and matching chakra manipulation. Doing this will bypass the trap and release the sword. If someone were to try and release the sword without properly bypassing the trap, the technique Suirō no Jutsu will activate from the scroll and trap the person in an inescapable sphere of water.

Suiton (lit. "Water Release")
The Water Release (水遁, Suiton; English TV "Water Style") area of elemental nature transformation are techniques that allow the user to manipulate pre-existing water, or create their own, by turning their chakra into water. It takes much more ability to create the water than to manipulate what is already available and expel it from their mouths. One of the most versatile of the five basic chakra natures, Water Release techniques can not only change shape but form as well. Moreover, the water becomes more solid in the process as well.

Kirigakure no Jutsu
(霧隠れの術, Art of Hiding in the Mist)
D-rank - Ninjutsu - Supplementary
This displacement technique is a specialty of the Ninja from Kirigakure, where one causes a mist to spring forth by lifting up some water, 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. It can't fool the Byakugan, but, due to the mist being created with the user's chakra, any Sharingan-user will see the mist colored by their opponent's chakra, which will effectively hide the user from the dōjutsu.
Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu
(水分身の術, Water Clone Technique)
C-rank - Ninjutsu - Supplementary
The Water Clone Technique is similar to the Shadow Clone Technique except it creates clones out of water that have one-tenth of the original person's power. Like other solid clone techniques, the clones can be used to perform tasks the user is unable or unwilling to do for themselves. The range of the clone is limited however, as it can not travel very far from the original body without losing control. Like other clone techniques, if the water clones are injured enough they will revert back to normal water.
Suirō no Jutsu
(水牢の術, Water Prison Technique)
C-rank - Ninjutsu - Supplementary
This jutsu 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 jutsu 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 jutsu, 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.

Ninjutsu (lit, "Ninja Technique")
Ninjutsu (忍術; Literally meaning "Ninja Techniques") refers to any technique that utilizes chakra and allows the user to perform actions that a normal person otherwise would be incapable of doing. Unlike genjutsu, which causes the opponent to experience illusions, the effects of ninjutsu are real. Ninjutsu relies on chakra and, most of the time, hand seals to be effective. The hands are put in sequential positions that molds and manipulates chakra in the necessary manner to perform a jutsu. This is not always needed, however, and some jutsu become second nature to experienced ninja, after which they can perform them at will.

Kanashibari no Jutsu
(金縛りの術, Temporary Feeling of Paralysis Technique)
D-rank - Ninjutsu - Supplementary
A technique for physical restraint, quite as if the opponent had been tied in invisible steel ropes. This is a basic ninjutsu usable even by Genin, but its intensity will vary greatly according to the user's level. In addition, depending on the user, the technique can be cast on every target at once, and won't fail a shinobi during his missions. This debilitates the victim for a short period of time, which allows the user to either strike again or, in some cases, take the target into custody.

Sōgijutsu (lit. "General Skill")
General Skills (総技術, Sōgijutsu; English "General Skill") are certain techniques used by most shinobi, and are not restricted to any one person or village. Most of these skills are taught in the academy and improved upon as the user grows in their own abilities. Those especially skilled in such General Skills can even be known for them.

Oyogukōiusame
(泳ぐこういう鮫, To Swim Like A Shark)
D-rank - General Skill - Supplementary
"To Swim Like a Shark" is an advanced variation of the Suimen Hokō no Gyō technique. As an essential skill for Kirigakure shinobi, it is taught from an early age. By taking the same principle of using chakra as a repellent force as in Suimen Hokō no Gyō, a user will be able to "skate" across the water at varying speeds, depending on the amount of chakra used.
Another application of this technique is its use while underwater. By using their chakra as a repellent to the water with their feet as well as their hands they will be able to move through the water with greater fluidity. Highly skilled Chūnin and Jōnin are able to swim through the water with the mobility of a shark.
Muon Satsujin Jutsu
(無声殺人術, Soundless Murder Technique)
Unranked - General Skill - Offensive
As the name suggests, this technique is simply a very quiet method of killing an opponent, usually from behind with a blade. Additionally, because the user is very silent, it cannot be defended against. The user will often slit their opponent's throat, preventing any cry that might give them away. Tsuyoki is a master of this technique, and was even good enough to track and kill opponents through sound alone, thanks in part to the training of her former Shinobigatana master.
Kirigakure no Jutsu is used by Tsuyoki in conjunction with this technique, as she is able to easily overcome the technique's visual inhibitions.
Wanasen no Jutsu
(罠線の術, Trapwire Technique)
C-rank - General Skill - Offensive
The Trapwire Technique is a fairly common technique using lengths of wiring and tags, typically explosive notes, to set traps. These tags are thrown or planted on a surface with a single strand of wiring attached to it. The wiring is so small that it is difficult to notice, and is next to impossible to spot if one is already distracted. When someone steps or trips over the wiring, the tag is activated and the trap is sprung.
Variations of this technique include the Nijū Wanasen no Jutsu (二重罠線の術, Double Trapwire Technique), which typically hides the real trip wire in the shadow of a more obvious line, and the Sanjū Wanasen no Jutsu (三重罠線の術, Triple Trapwire Technique), which adds yet another hidden wire length behind the first two.
---
Taijutsu (lit. "Body Techniques")
Taijutsu (体術; Literally meaning "Body Techniques") is a basic form of jutsu that typically does not require chakra, but chakra may be used to enhance techniques. Taijutsu generally require no hand seals to perform and are much quicker to use than ninjutsu or genjutsu. Taijutsu is simply put, hand-to-hand combat. The taijutsu techniques are the right choices for those that want to save their time and chakra, or for those who rely on their physical attributes. It can also be used in collaboration with ninjutsu to create nintaijutsu techniques.

Bakajikara
(馬鹿力, Great Physical Power)
Unranked - Fighting Style - Supplementary
Among Tsuyoki's greatest traits is her overall physical prowess. She was raised by parents that were experienced taijutsu practitioners, her father an accomplished kenjutsu user, and was put through many of the same training methods they went through themselves. Because of this, Tsuyoki is both a strong hand-to-hand fighter and sword wielder.
Tsuyoki possesses great physical strength and a high amount of stamina. Single punches or kicks are enough to send the average person flying. She can effortless lift any shinobi, even those larger than herself, with a single hand. This strength has benefited her kenjutsu, as she is able to wield her broadsword, Ishikiri Inju, effortlessly and for long periods of time without showing any signs of tiring.
Her physical prowess also extends to her speed and agility. While she by no means runs at the speed of light, her average running speed is twice that of the average shinobi. She is also flexible and agile and swift in general, not taxed by various acrobatic feats. All this combines to make her a dangerous close range fighter, as she is able to fight to the fullest with or without her sword and deliver powerful strikes quickly.
Tatsumaki Senpūkyaku
(竜巻き辻風, Tornado Whirlwind Kick)
B-rank - Taijutsu - Offensive
A technique where the user throws their body into a furious, singular spin with such speed and power that the technique can be deployed very quickly, when there is little time to react or a small window to take advantage of. They focus all the power of this spin into a single kick to the upper body or head, an attack that can send even a fully grown adult flying. Tsuyoki, with her great physical power, has sent people flying through brick walls and trees.
Kanketsusen
(間欠泉, Geyser)
C-rank - Taijutsu - Offensive
This technique is a sudden, rather forceful uppercut directly to the chin, or the desired body part, that combines the user's speed and physical strength together to send the recipient flying high into the air. The force alone of a successful hit will leave the opponent momentarily stunned and open to a follow-up attack.
---
Kenjutsu (lit, "Sword Techniques")
Kenjutsu (剣術; Literally meaning "Sword Technique") pertains to techniques that entail the use of swords, whether the users be shinobi or samurai. Kenjutsu can be used in combination with taijutsu, ninjutsu and/or chakra flow in order to achieve more devastating techniques. Among the shinobi nations, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are particularly well known as kenjutsu practitioners.

Injuryū
(印綬流, Ribbon Style)
Unranked - Fighting Style - Supplementary
Wielders of Ishikiri Inju adopt this fighting style to make full use of the weapon's combat abilities. Ishikiri Inju is a broadsword that passes its durability and cutting edge along to the ribbon that wraps it. As such, both the sword and the ribbon can be used interchangeably for attack or defense simultaneously.
To aid in her own defense, Tsuyoki usually has the ribbon hover around her entire body, providing a measure of protection when attacks can come from varying directions. With a single concentrating hand seal, she can assume greater control of this ribbon, even using it to bind others in place by wrapping around them.
Ikan
(移管, Transfer of Control)
Unranked - Fighting Style? - Supplementary
Tsuyoki wields Ishikiri Inju, a Shinobigatana weapon that passes on its own durability and cutting edge to the ribbon that wraps it. After training with this weapon for many years, Tsuyoki has been able to extend that control to the bandages that wrap her own body. She is able to move them with the same freedom she can with the her weapon's original ribbons.
She wears this around her forehead, her torso, both forearms, both palms up to the joints of each finger, and both both shins from the bottom of her pants up to the bottom of her knees. Because these ribbons share the durability of Stone-Cutting Ribbon, they make for a strong defense without having to pack on special armor. It is to be noted that because these bandages are most often around Tsuyoki and not her weapon, Ishikiri Inju's extension of power stops at the durability: these bandages are not capable of cutting, and are only useful for defensive or supplementary purposes.
Kenjutsu: Kei no Mai
(剣術: 剄の舞, Sword Technique: Dance of Beheading)
C-rank - Kenjutsu - Offensive
This technique is actively used by the Mist kunoichi Tsuyoki. Kenjutsu: Kei no Mai involves the use of one solid clone and has the user and their clone attack simultaneously or in a very close range or time. One will make a frontal attack clearly visible to the target, usually swiping their weapon at the target's lower body or midsection, making them want to dodge backwards. The real attack is the one from behind as the target dodges or defends, since the user or a clone will be waiting to swing their weapon at the target's upper body or neck, decapitating them.
Of note, it is possible to use this as a collaborative technique, if the two users are skilled enough to coordinate their attacks. Care must also be undertaken to attack at the right level and distance, so one does not strike the other as their weapons go through the intended target.
Kenjutsu: San Kyūryū no Mai
(剣術: 三急流の舞, Sword Technique: Dance of Three Swift Currents)
B-rank - Kenjutsu - Offensive
This technique is actively used by the Mist kunoichi Tsuyoki. Kenjutsu: San Kyūryū no Mai involves the use of two solid clones and is a technique where all three make a simultaneous frontal assault. Each attack is made from a blind spot, one from the left, right and above, and as such it is impossible to catch them flat-footed.
Because of the sword Tsuyoki wields, the attacks are so severe that receiving a blow even from one among the three will inevitably result in a fatal wound. The image of this attack and the strength of each blow leads to its comparison of three mighty currents converging on the target all at once.
