Blade Barrier Technique

This technique, invented by Nōsei, allows the user to trail dense chakra after their sword strikes in order to generate a powerful chakra based defense. As simply hovering chakra in the air wont deflect attacks, the user is required to perform a repeated series of rapid sword swipes whose chakra trails merge into barrier. As such the defense is only usable as the practitioner continues the swinging motion, fading instantly after the motion stops. The combined force of the sword swings and the chakra emission is enough to deflect most attacks. Despite this, the barrier generated by a single blade can only defend against frontal angles, since rotating a single blade around an the user's entire body doesn't produce a dense enough shield. This limitation can be overcome by performing the technique simultaneously with multiple blades, effectively shielding the user from all directions.
