Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist

**Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist** (霧の忍刀七人衆, *Kiri no Shinobigatana Shichinin Shū*)

## Swords

* **Hitodeme** (人手御目, *Starfish Eyes*) is a Sentient Sword, acting as the successor to the lost **Nuibari**. Different than most of the other swords wielded by the Seven Swordsmen, Hitodeme is modeled as sharper-than-average Wire Strings possessing the ability to divide itself indefinitely. With the acquisition of the flesh of Isobu through one of its Three-Tails Mini Clones, Hitodome also possesses the unique Kekkei Genkai of Ice Release. It holds a unique ability to allow its user to see through the Wire Stirngs it creates, befitting its name of Starfish Eyes.

* **Kakiera** (硴鰓, *Oyster Gills*) is a Sentient Sword created after the loss of Kiba to Kumogakure. Possessing Scorch Release after the acquisition of DNA from Matatabi during the war with Kumogakure, Kakiera is able to expel Fire Release, Wind Release and Scorch Release techniques from itself to injure targets. Befitting its name, it is a sentient oyster with a unique ability that allows for it to dispel Chakra-based effects from whatever it cuts with either its blade or the expelled Scorch Release, acting as a sort of filter. This also means that poisons are neutralized through Kakiera's usage.

* **Samehada** (鮫肌, *Shark Skin*) is a Sentient Sword created during the reign of the First Mizukage, being acknowledged as the first Sentient Sword within the history of Kirigakure. Within Kirigakure, Samehada is joking referred to as **Samekage** (鮫影, *Shark Shadow*), the "other Mizukage" of Kirigakure, as it's the sword that's been utilized by most of the Mizukage, the First and Third. True to its name, the sword has a very coarse blade in the form of shark scales that can create gashes on the target with relative ease. What makes this sword dangerous is its ability to absorb the Chakra of whatever it is cutting, along with its ability to utilize Blood Release, gaining this ability from the flesh of Saiken.

* **Shachisu** (鯱鬆, *Orca Blowhole*), more commonly known outside of Kirigakure as **Kubikiribōchō** (首斬り包丁, *Decapitating Carving Knife*), is a Sentient Sword that acts as as a mobile forge due to it possessing Lava Release, a trait gained from members of the Karatachi Clan that were used in the creation of this blade, unbeknownst to most. Though Shachisu is important to the Seven Swordsmen, as it allows for the wielder to repair blades out in the field, it is also described as a self-restoration sword, being able to mend itself by absorbing the iron used from the blood it collects.

* **Wanikoke** (鰐鱗, *Crocodile Scales*), more commonly known outside of Kirigakure as **Hiramekarei** (ヒラメカレイ), is a Sentient Sword, was created during the era where Kirigakure lacked a Mizukage between Gengetsu Hōzuki's death. It possesses Typhoon Release, a trait that the Hoshigaki Clan members have due to the political marriage set between Kirigakure and Sunagakure. It is unique in that this sword shifts between several differing forms depending on its user's wishes.

## Former Swords

* Kabutowari (兜割, *Helmet Splitter*) was one of the swords belonging to the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. It was sold to Sunagakure for gold to further solidify the alliance between itself and Kirigakure.

* Kiba (牙, *Fangs*) was one of the swords belonging to the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. After a conflict with Kumogakure, the village had killed its wielder and acquired the swords for themselves. It holds the ability to imbue Lightning Release within itself to further increase its cutting prowess.

* Nuibari (縫い針, *Sewing Needle*) was one of the swords belonging to the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. It and its wielder fell to Isobu during one of the Tailed Beast's rampages across the Land of Water.
