Third Step: Dance of a Phantom

Taught to him by his grandfather, his Third Step: Dance of a Phantom is a unique technique within his Ten Steps. As it is perhaps the only one that does not require a First nor Second Step. Instead, It is called a Leaping attack. One that hops straight from Ground Level to the third step. It is one that requires careful concentration. Dai san kōtei Maboroshi no mai is A precision cut of extreme force and speed which can casually slice through large, summoning sized, and metallic level durable opponents. This slash is so precise and swift, its victims are not even aware of it until after it has taken place. Maboroshi no Mai utilizes an extreme burst of Body Flicker through ones body. To those who witness it, Dan appears to simply walk by his opponent. But in truth he draws his sword, cuts, and sheathes once more. This technique's power can also be used to stop other jutsu from harming him as well.
