Leaf-Style Phantom Blade

Leaf-Style Phantom Blade (木ノ葉流迷夢剣, Konoha-Ryū Meimuken) is a technique developed in Konohagakure. Famous amongst the Kinsei clan, used by many swordsmen in Konoha. It's based on an ancient Konoha Kenjutsu technique called Leaf-Style Willow, which was used in the past as a way to deceive the opponent. Years later, this technique was designed simply to make the Leaf-Style Willow a fighting style. For proficient users of this technique, it can be used with each blade strike as it takes little chakra and is based upon a simple method. It's mostly used to deceive the opponent or to confused them seconds before the strike.

Usage
This technique simply creates multiple illusions of the user's arm and blade while striking in order to confuse the opponent of where the strike is coming from. As only one of these arms are real. The user can create ten or eleven illusion arms that start from his shoulders and they seem connected to his body, From an outside view, one would see as if the user has eleven arms, while only one is real. All the arms move in perfect synchronization, which causes the eye to transfer wrong and illogical information to the brain, leading to the confusion of the target and causing them to react in a false way. This can also be used if the user grips the sword with both hands as it would use the same concept.

Another variation of this technique is creating illusion of himself. Creating three, five or even more false duplications of himself. They move in perfect synchronization with him. It's not a certainty that the real one is in the middle as it could be any of the duplications. Skilled users can create one in front of them to mask their movement and to hide their presence completely as the duplication in front of them would move in synchronization with the user. Thus, the user would be completely hidden. The user usually creates the illusions a few seconds before striking in order to confuse the target.
