Winter-Blossoming Plum Tree

The Winter-Blossoming Plum Tree (寒梅, Kanbai) is a technique derived from the Leaf-Style Sword Art, and is one initially developed by Hideaki Kazamidori, passed down to other users by his teachings. The technique involves a high level of deception and speed. Generally, one would use it to reveal to their enemy that they have exposed an opening. In doing so, their stance is completely neutral and would be almost impossible to create any counter from it. The user, utilizing absolutely precision timing, uses a sudden push of chakra to the bottom of their feet, moving their entire body upwards and into a backflip. When doing so, the opponent becomes off-guard by the technique's maneuver, which subsequently allows for a quick slash, reminiscent to, to be performed on the victim who has lost balance, therefore instantly incapacitating, or killing, them.
