The Manipulation Art of a Thousand Swords
This is where a puppeteer instead of using puppets, uses swords that are attached by chakra strings! this way the multiple swords that are used can be infused with the users elemental chakra! because they are made by the same conductive metal as Asuma sarutobi’s daggers. The swords can be soaked with poison for added affect. The potential for this jutsu is quite lethal, the chakra strings can made invisible, and thrown in the air to scatter them all over the place. then pulled or thrown in which way to take the enemy off guard.
Just like in Naruto series there are more stages depending on the skills of the shinobi.
About the controlings I have some ideas... Depending on your characters skills you can control different numbers of swords from one up to ten. However there is a jutsu mastered only by those who are truly skilled and hardworkers, genius, when are summoned 100 swords.
Until you manage to master 10 swords things are like this: after you finished performing the handseals to summon the amount of swords you master, you enter in what I decided to call "mastering mode" when the keys that used to be associated to handseals are now representing one sword. (For ex.: y-first sword, u-second sword, i-third sword,o- fourth sword, p-fifth sword, g-sixth sword...l-tenth sword). While not pressing anything the sword symply float in front of you. To control one sword you have to press and hold the corespondent key like "y" and according to your mouse movement your sword is moving. Move your mouse upward and the sword is going ahead, move the.mouse to the left and the sword will go to the left; all this while you hold the "y" buttone. If you hold multiple keys than all the swords that corespond to the keys will follow the path given by the mouse. After you stop holding the key/keys those swords will gwt back in the initial position. (If you moved your character while your swords where in an attack, they will return near your character).
When and if you master 100 swords than 10 swords will be assigned to one key so one hit will be ten times stronger. The disadvantage is that the attacks will be sligrhly slower. But a hit with all 100 swords at once can be critical.
Of course the controls can be changed if the GMs think so, but I think that this way the player really has the feeling of being a pupeeter Naruto style. Also, I think that this way, the shinobi skills rely more on players skills rather than automatics.
