Ittō Shōden Mutō-ryū: Moonless Night

Ittō Shōden Mutō-ryū: Moonless Night is a signature technique created by the third Crescent Samurai Shihasu Taisei. As an extension of the style created by her grandfather before her, Shihasu created this technique as a nonlethal way to subdue her target. Because her sword is linked to her chakra, forming a bond between swordsman and sword, she can manipulate the chakra inside her sword, manipulating its physical structure. This allows her to turn it from a sword made for cutting through flesh into a spectral blade meant to attack the chakra networks directly. As it phases through her targets body, it temporarily blocks off chakra flow at the area of attack, either debilitating her opponent or paralyzing them outright. This allows her to subdue her target and capture them, both alive and in one piece. The effects of the attack are temporary and will pass over time.
