Shikage-ryū

Benitora  (Tokugawa Hidetada) and (fake) Mekira practices the Sojutsu art (Spear Techniques) under the same master

- Shinbyeong (Spiritual Sickness)
 Shinbyeong also known as Illusionism is the Shikage hidden technique. It is a mental extension of user’s spiritual power, creating instant unconsciousness between consciousnesses and disrupting a person's mind and/or thinking ability causing hypnosis and sensory paralysis in their foes, momentarily stunning them and making user’s movements appear immediate. From the view of people who are caught by the technique, they will think user has teleported. All it takes is direct eye contact between user and the target. This technique resembles Naruto's Genjutsu

- Shadow Clones
This technique creates from 5 to 8 clones of the user. However, these clones are actual copies, not illusions. The user's energy is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing techniques on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after one or two solid blows. They can also disperse on their own. The clones will be created in roughly the same condition as the original. Hidetada learned this technique from the Iga Ninjas. This techniques can be compared to Naruto's Shadow Clone Technique

- Hassun (8-level Dance)
Hassun is for med collecting the accumulated energy of every thrust and spin from the spear in one strike producing of sheer destructive force.

- Gyaku Hassun (8-level lance)
A secret forbidden technique of the Yagyū Shinkage-ryū that has been passed on for generations. It is a skill that is a hundred times more destructive than the Hassun. It is an invincible skill but in order to use this skill user has to be prepared to sacrifice their life. Gyaku Hassun is a feint attack that awakens the innate ability that all humans possess to create a strong destructive force. The strong pressure that is created changes into an immensely powerful and explosive shockwave. Which then heads towards opponent in the form of a tornado. This attack uses the Shadow Clone technique and since all the clones that surround opponent simulaneously create the same shockwave, their destructive power accumulates and multiplies tenfold. Whoever takes the brunt of this attack will not only suffer extensive physical injuries. His internal organs will also be shredded by the force of the attack. Since the shockwave cannot be seen by the naked eye stopped or evading it is virtually impossible. This can be said to be an invincible skill.
