Chakra Blade

A chakra blade is a type of weapon that a user can flow their chakra into, giving the weapon additional properties based on their chakra nature. There have been different types of chakra blades wielded by different ninja.

## Variants [ ]

- Asuma Sarutobi 's style of combat specialises in the use of chakra blades. His are uniquely-designed trench knives worn like brass knuckles , with a zigzag-shape blade to give them "teeth". Asuma often uses them to augment his taijutsu skills, enabling him to defeat nine Oto -nin in a matter of seconds. The blades are made of a unique metal that can be imbued with the user's chakra nature and can act as an origin of their techniques. Asuma most commonly does this for his Flying Swallow , where he channels wind chakra into the blades to increase their sharpness and effective length. After Asuma's death, Shikamaru Nara uses the blades for his Shadow Imitation Shuriken Technique , where he flows his yin chakra into them so he can have a long-range version of his Shadow Imitation Technique . In Konoha Shinden , Shikamaru gives these blades to Asuma's daughter, Mirai , and she uses them in the same way that her father did.
- In the anime, Naruto Uzumaki and Sora briefly train with Asuma's chakra blades.
- In the anime, Konohamaru Sarutobi wields chakra blades with the same design after becoming a jōnin .
- The White Light Chakra Sabre wielded by Sakumo , and later Kakashi Hatake , had the ability to absorb chakra and release a white streak of light whenever they swung it.
- In the anime, Sora uses Chakra Enhanced Triple-Bladed Claw , a type of chakra blade.
- In the anime, Tenten owns a chakra blade that's able to cut through Fū 's Cocoon , and in fact it's one of the few ways to overcome the Cocoon's ability to absorb chakra.
- Nowaki kept a large number of uniquely designed chakra blades that he used to channel his wind -natured chakra. These blades were able to create explosions on impact when hitting targets while infused with his Typhoon Release -chakra.
- Katasuke Tōno of Konohagakure 's Scientific Ninja Weapons Team invents a chakra blade that uses the wielder's chakra to generate a makeshift blade (but has the downside of draining too much chakra too quickly), and allows Boruto Uzumaki to handle a prototype.
- Mecha-Naruto wielded chakra blades similar to those developed by Katasuke Tōno. They were located inside his head, with the tips of Mecha-Naruto's hair serving as handles. By grabbing his hair, he could pull out the chakra blades and attack with them.

## Trivia [ ]

- In Naruto Shippūden the Movie: The Lost Tower , Konohagakure is shown to have a standard chakra blade that is used by some shinobi.
- Aside from his brief usage of Katasuke’s prototype chakra blade, Ao has a similar weapon in his possession, albeit a two-bladed one, which is hidden within his prosthetic left arm.
