Assassination-Style: Crossing Stream Technique

Assassination-Style: Crossing Stream Technique is a counterattack technique used to disarm a target to make it easier to assassinate them later.

Description
The technique is performed by entering a Chūdan-gamae stance and coating one's sword with a small sharp blade of chakra after forming the required hand seals. When the other sword user strikes the user makes a quick crescent motion with their sword to move their blade around the opponent's and make a very shallow cut under the target's wrist along their carpal tunnel. When the blade makes contact the chakra is used to damage the median nerve inside the body. The effects of this depends on how precise the slash was. It can result in the opponent only losing a little of their hand strength or all of it leaving them unable to hold anything with the hand or use it for anything.
