Yuuto stood and looked at his Triforce outside the large 100m circumference domed building, his hand was shaking but his determination was still true, he knew that he had to challenge the right to become a sword in order to prove to Shinjiro that Mondai had done some good, he also secretly hoped that this would light a fire under his rear and get him to take care of Kaguya, Hitachi after Yuuto won.
He slowly entered the arena as he thought back to his studies, Yuuto loved the art of war and therefore had spent time learning about Hitatchi's legends and listening to his ghost stories in order to piece together a fighting style that could work against his. From his understanding, this man was not only strong but fast and durable, which could be a problem for the Karagata, but he knew not to cower in fear.
He needed to prove that he was a true warrior like the others before him. His reflection shield was already raised to a guarded-like position as he knew not to trust him. His eyes were focused on Hitatchi, Liberation was carried on his left hand as he didn't want anything slowing him down. He looked around the 80m wide training arena with grassy terrain, ponds, a few rocks, and 20m sturdy chakra-reinforced walls, before his eyes landed upon Hitachis. "I wish there was another way, but I hope the best man wins." Yuuto had nothing else to say, instead he locked in Hitatchi.
His shield would've been raised by the time he finished speaking as he attempted to blind him with his shield, he quickly channeled chakra to it and prepared for whatever the man tried next. Yuuto bet on him going for him to be smug about their power differences, that he would play with his meal, considering that he was Shiv's son, Shinjiro's nephew, one had to savor these types of battles and if his training had done him correctly then it meant that he didn't have a long time to deal with this man, he needed to get this over with as quickly as possible, especially before his legs gave in.
If he didn't come for him then he would continue to shine the light in his eyes in order to harm him more, fortunately, the light from the shield was big enough that he only had to hit him in the face, his sword was ready to smash the shield to trigger the genjutsu but first, he needed to know what he would do.

Rapid Deal
S-Rank Stance Taijutsu
Yuuto trades 5 posts of +15 speed for - 30 speed for 5 posts as his legs become severely damaged and put his legs in a critical state. It's a heavy trade-off for a strong boost, the leg Injuries can be healed via Iijutsu to speed up the debuff period but has to be focused jutsu and not Regen.
Heroic Focus
B-Rank Discipline
Yuuto focuses on one target and begins to almost tunnel vision, dead set on keeping track of whatever the target attempts to do, by focusing on specific body joints and connections via jutsu, but it comes at the cost that he loses his visual awareness of other enemies, with this jutsu they can spot even foot tracks and make out a makeshift size on those using [Stealth] at this level and lower.
Heroic Light
B-Rank Maneuvere Taijutsu
Prerequisite: Mirror Shield/Large Mirror, Medicine.
A simple yet devastating technique to the eyes, Yuuto uses natural light to shine it into the eyes of his opponent and blinds them, the bright light drops -3 Will power as the light disorientates making it harder for them to get data on the battlefield. If Yuuto continuously casts the light on his target eyes for the equivalent of one post then the target will require their eyes if they want them fully restored, their vision returns after 5 posts but requires [Perception] technique of same level to see what's fully going on if they don't heal their eyes.

Magic Bell
C-Rank Illusion Genjutsu
Prerequisite: Shield and Sword
The user channels chakra or performs the necessary hand seals before they slam their sword against their shield, if the targets hear the sound of the weapons clashing then they are caught within the genjutsu. Their vision triples as they continuously hear the clashing sound, drowning out any noise outside of the ringing sound, this genjutsu messes with the target's senses, making it harder for them to fight in close-quarter combat for the next 4 posts.
