Shinmeiryuu: Mugen no Yaibi [God's Cry Style: Blades of Infinity]

Description/History: Shinmeiryuu was created long ago by the prominent Aoyama family. They were a family of swordsmen and mercenaries. The Aoyama family began acting as their own village to attract more swordsmen. The Aoyama estate was located in the Land of Rain where many skilled combatants passed through. With every new swordsmen Shinmeiryuu got more powerful. Many branches of Shinmeiryuu began to sprout up as swordsmen combined their previous styles and abilities to their Shinmeiryuu techniques.

When the Aoyama family grew powerful enough they challenged the young Amegakure for dominance of the Land of Rain. The battle raged for several days, but it was increasingly noticeable that the swordsmen just couldn't handle the shinobi. The remnants of the Aoyama family disbanded and moved across the land. The branch of Shinmeiryuu known as Mugen no Yaibi stayed in the Land of Rain, and eventually integrated themselves into Amegakure.

Shinmeiryuu at its core was a kenjutsu style that emphasized the bond between swordsman and his sword. They commonly use katanas or nodaichis. Shinmeiryuu: Mugen no Yaibi still focuses around this core principle while making use of abilities to make it appear as if they have more than one blade.
