Biography: at a very young age, Zaikan Moramushi was a very skilled swordsmen when compared to his peers, and dedicated most of his time as a child to refining his skills as a swordsmen. unlike many of fellow samurai students, Zaikan discovered how to combine his chakra nature with his sword techniques to make them more powerful. He wasn't the only young samurai who utilized his chakra nature, and that was his childhood friend Yuuto Nakarai. the two of them had been great friends for many years, but while Zaikan supported the Land of Iron's involvement with the republic, Yuuto did not and Zaikan never really understood why his friend was against the idea of their country being apart of the Shinobi Republic. like with his friend, Zaikan rose high among the ranks of his fellow samurai at young age, but when Yuuto had dueled against the Taisho's right-hand man and won, Zaikan was shocked and angered at his friend's resigning from his position in the government. when he was exiled, Zaikan said nothing to his childhood friend, Zaikan thought of Yuuto as nothing more than a disgraceful exile and tried to forget his old friend. he continued to serve his country and republic, going on missions that were very dangerous and he rose very high in the ranks of his nations, but one of the high ranked missions had left him with a large scar on his face. he had been refining his Sonic-Sword style which had been extremely hard to practice and utilize when he had started developing the style, now he was able to use it in open combat but it was still a hard form of sword fighting to use. now with the tensions between the republic and Konoha, Zaikan prepared himself for a possible war and he wondered for the first time in a long time if he would see his Yuuto if war really did occur in the shinobi world. but his meeting with his childhood friend would come sooner than expected when his superiors gave him the mission of finding Yuuto and making sure he didn't join the side of Konoha by any means necessary. Jutsu List: he does not have traditional jutsu, but has found a way to use his chakra nature to increase his deadliness with a sword. Zaikan is an excellent practitioner of Kenjutsu and is incredibly skilled with a blade. Sonic Sword Style: in his many years of training, Zaikan developed the art of incredibly fast movement. this allows him to move at speeds that makes it look like he disappears and move faster than the eye can follow. in order to keep up such speeds, Zaikan must maintain a constant bodily flow of chakra. Chakra-Blade: he channels his chakra into his sword to make it make stronger. Fire release: Flame-Blade - this technique allows Zaikan to cover his sword in bright reddish orange flames which makes the blade hotter therefor making able to cut through objects easier. Fire release: Great Flame-Blade - it is a more advanced form of the Flame-Blade technique, and requires more chakra to utilize it. the technique causes the blade to be covered in bright blue flames which make it even hotter than Flame-Blade, thus making it far more deadly. Fire release: Dragon-Blade - by channeling his chakra through his blade, Zaikan can shoot a jet of fire from it, but it uses up a good amount of chakra. Fire release: Flame-Slash - Zaikan simply slashes out with his Katana and a sends out a wave of fire at his opponents, he uses for when his enemies dodge his blade but get caught by the flames of this technique. Kekkai Genki: none
