Thousand Man-Slayer's Journey

is considered the very pinnacle of martial arts; the ultimate stance of swordsmanship. It was invented by Shōyō Shakyamuni, as both his secret and his ultimate technique.

Description
Raian, one of Shōyō's most devoted students, noted that the technique was unnatural, in that it gave the impression that the user wasn't even using a stance. In order to preform it, the user must be able to completely relax, even in tense combat. Doing so allows them to draw out their maximum strength when attacking. By then taking upon a natural posture, with their sword to their side, the user only uses the bare-minimum of their strength; which they use to stand. By doing so, when coupled with the proper speed, they can strike or block, whenever, and however they want.

Shōyō has also explained that the power created from controlling one's body perfectly, along with the instant transition from relaxation to tension is what gives the technique its tremendous speed. Upon seeing it for the first time, Raian notes that the blade of the user is nearly impossible to see once it is used, and the user manages to move at a speed that surpasses even most forms of -sensing.
