String of Fate: Single Blade, Thousand Blades

String of Fate: Single Blade, Thousand Blades (運命糸・一刀千刀, Unmeishi: Ittō, Sentō) is an extremely potent technique that incorporates  into its workings. It is also a derivation of the String of Fate Technique. However, as opposed to the original technique, the user wraps the surface of their blade in a dense collection of wire strings, which, on a surface level, serve to enhance the durability of the blade and increase its sharpness. However, the true purpose of this technique is when the user performs a slash. At the moment of the slash, the user expels a tremendous gust of wind from the blade through imbuing it with wind-aligned chakra. The gust releases the dense collection of sharp wires outwards in a spherical manner, enveloping the entire area in what could be visibly seen as over a thousand slashes, that can quickly triumph over even scores of seasoned enemies effortlessly.

The primary weakness of this technique, however, is the angle which the sword must be swung. Due to the technique potentially causing the user themselves to be injured, the safest method to employ the technique is by swinging upwards. This predictability, and the time it takes to set up the technique, means it can only be used once per battle, and cannot feasibly be replicated should another battle with the same opponent occur.
