Secret Culinary Art: Hell's Kitchen [Jigoku Daidokoro]
___Description: The Secret Art of Jigoku Daidokoro was founded by a shinobi chef by the name of Goroden Ramsensei. It was not particularly designed to do much outside of butchering meats and vegetables with skillful use of cutlery, however, if there was trouble in the kitchen the secret art was particularly lethal at dispatching individuals who were too cocky. Goroden Ramsensei passed down this secret art to Tosokurui after losing an incredibly riveting seafood-based Shokugeki before he returned to continue spreading his culinary arts around the world.
___Notes:
•Requires cutlery or two knives, preferably chefs knives.

The Appetizer
Rank: X :: Simple
Description:The User performs a dynamic display of knife work. Per blade they have in their possession the user takes a quick step forward leans in and slashes at speeds beyond what the normal human eye can comprehend {1 attack per rank of the technique 2 if dual wielding}. If landing the first strike in a flourishing display the rest will also land. The first hit is treated as the {X} rank for determining collisions and evasions but not damage. The inherent damage of these cuts is always E. The cuts are shallow and rarely do they draw significant amounts of blood. If a target is wearing armor or clothing made of anything aside cloth the attacks fail, attacks can only be made on exposed skin, less it just cuts the cloth. Cloth armor, however, is ultimately destroyed with this technique or shredded to ribbons. Seemingly weak. Annihilates scallions and other vegetables.
First Course
Rank: X :: Simple
Description: The User catches an oncoming attack by bringing the two chefs knives together. With a twirl and flourish after intercepting an oncoming attack the user ends up behind the target they defended themselves against while the momentum of their strike is carried downward. In their movement, the user performs two precise E-rank cuts simultaneously which only very lightly breaks the skin in a scrape but can damage clothing or cut hair not unlike {The Appetizer} but deep enough to bypass cloth. Does nothing to individuals wearing anything other than cloth but always lands assuming an attack was successfully countered with it. Seeing as the cuts are always so shallow it's an intimidation tactic more than anything at first look. The targeted areas exclude an opponent's face.

Second Course
Rank: D :: Spiritual
Description: Will automatically chain from First Course assuming it was successful. If First Course landed Second Course will also land without fail if used. Once positioned behind the disoriented opponent a malevolent aura is produced which causes the wounds from earlier to sting and burn. Having left a trace of their chakra in the target from First Course the user will use it to deepen the cuts in that instant. However, these cuts are still rather superficial they still spray a bit of blood and are nowhere deep enough to affect the arteries or other main veins. Equivalently this is like a paper cut. It's primary purpose is to 'activate' the user's chakra their blades left behind with First Course. Second Course cannot be used unless the Appetizer or First Course has landed.
Knife Sharpening
Rank: X :: Spiritual
Description:By sliding one blade against the other the user covers them in a film of chakra that creates that metal on metal sliding sound. This film enhances the sharpness of the knives so that cuts made with them using its techniques can penetrate thicker armors. However, the amount of depth applied still remains. C: Light, B:Medium, A:Heavy. S:Any [Duration: 2]

House Special
Rank: C :: Spiritual
Description: The House Special can only occur if both [First Course] and [Second Course] have been used and landed or [The Appetizer] and [Second Course]. By spending an additional amount of C-rank chakra added on to the users next strike, if it lands, any previously existing wounds that were applied via [First Course], [Second Course], or [The Appetizer] will be perpetuated into the next rank of depth regardless of if the strike made was targeting the area to begin with. The superficial cuts from {The Appetizer} become the D-rank depth of {Second Course} while the cuts already agitated by {Second Course} increase to C-rank depth finally breaking into the epidermis and causing a significant enough amount of bleeding. The effects of House Special ends on hit requiring an additional C-rank be paid again to perpetuate the wounds on hit again. Note: This hit must be on flesh. If the attack hits something other than the target, House Special is still expended. The cutting depths escalation starts at
E: Superficial
D: Paper Cut
C: Dermis
B: Muscle {Possible Aeortal}
A: Bone {Reached}
S: Bone {Broken}
S+: Severed or Gaping
Entree Pare
Rank: X :: Simple
Description:To pare means to remove the outermost skin of a fruit or vegetable. The state of which it is in after peeling. The wielder will perform a single forward lunge. Again executing a flurry of slashes similar to The Appetizer in how many were dependent on the number of knives and rank. However, the intent is not to cut skin but to flay layers. This technique removed the upper layer of skin, the defender's dermis, leading to all kinds of possibilities such as nasty infections and unholy sensitivity. This technique was used to scale and skin fish. However, it is primarily designed in combat to [Destroy] protections such as armor. Rather than bypass, the technique applies a rank of [Degradation] per rank. This, however, only works if having used Knife Sharpening to be able to damage the appropriately ranked attire.

Lunch Special: Mince
Rank: X :: Complex
Description:A more advanced version of The Appetizer. The same motions when using The Appetizer is executed only the user enhances the edges of their blades with a refined amount of compressed chakra. The speed of these slashes again are beyond what the human eye can track. This technique is typically used against oncoming Ninjutsu or structures that typically cannot dodge. Once executed the specific structure is finely chopped in cuboids or the oncoming chakra manifestation is dispersed in a stylish flourish the trails of chakra from the slashes are often left behind lightly as an indicator before fading.

Kings Course
Rank: X :: Simple
Description: -
Dinner Special: Julienne
Rank: A-S+ :: Complex
Description: The Dinner Special gets right to the point the blades are enhanced with a thin layer of chakra. The same chakra which lingers in attacks from the Appetizer, First Course, and Second Course. If there are cuts that were induced by The Appetizer, First Course, or Second Course they immediately all reach the stage of depth that the Dinner Special Applies. Effectively light cuts from carelessness and underestimation could be a near-death sentence if allowed to happen again. Aside from this, it follows the same criterion as House Special in its use.
