Hi, Itachi-sama, These are the files on Choji, Shikimaru, Rock Lee, Naruto, Ino, Sasuke, Mindy, Chojuro, Hinata, Haku, and Shino. Thank you, Zabuza; bring Kisame here as well. If we think about an individual for the sword and they have clan-specific stuff, we will stop the meeting and go talk to their parents. I want to make sure we are as informed as possible before making these decisions, okay? Yes, Mizukage-sama. All right, thank you, Kisame and Zabuza, for coming. Yes, Itachi. We could, in theory, involve more people in this meeting. The reason why I want this to be decided by us three is that your opinions are much more qualified than anyone else's. We are choosing 5 of the 7 swordsmen of the mist. You are the only 2 swordsmen we currently have. I do not want your guys opinions being drowned out by other less qualified people. A lot of our uniquely talented options are from the Leaf Village, and I know their jutsu very well. I will make one thing very clear, though. Even if you disagree with me on something, you must say it. If you do not feel comfortable doing that, then leave. I understand Itachi, said Zabuza. Yeah, yeah, let's get on with it. The longer we delay it, the hungrier my sharks get, said Kisame.
Alright, before getting into this, I would like to discuss a topic. I personally feel like every swordsman today that we choose should be like you two. What do you mean, Itachi? Well, Kisame would be at least an A-rank ninja without his sword. Between his shark Justu, his strength, and his great water ninjutsu, he would be a high-ranking fighter without the sword. But with a sword that grows his chakra reserves so much, it makes him a ninjustu beast and someone you cannot beat close range. That sword is a picture-perfect fit to grow an already good skill set. Changing Kisame from a midrange fighter to a close range and midrange fighter. Zabuza, you have very good water ninjustu as well; without the sword, you would be a low A rank ninja, but adding the sword also makes you very good up close as well. Just like Kisame, you go from a midrange fighter to a close range and midrange fighter. What I am getting at is that our goal should be to make the strongest 5 ninja's in the village with these swords. For example, the last person to use the helmet splitter sword was Jinin Akeibino, who may have been a level of Chunin, who was just strong before getting the helmet splitter sword.When Jinin Akeibio gets the sword, he is just a close-range specialist with no other threats. That is exactly what I do not want. That makes sense Itachi Zabuza said back. I am sure you guys are wondering why not just give the swords to established Jonin that are in the village? Older ninjas usually have a defined fighting style that may not pair as well with their fighting style as hoped. Let's take Kakashi, for example. He has lighting release, so in theory we would give him the Kiba sword, which naturally emits lightning chakra and puts a lower cost on Ninjustu. But Kakskhi would never fight with the sword in his hand. His Chidori has way more piercing power than the sword. He has been sparing Might Guy in taijustu since he was young, so he would be better with that than the sword. Kakashi is a very good example that they are not as effective as they would be if they got it younger and built their style around the sword. I think we could all agree that Kakashi would be stronger if he had the sword at a younger age and grew his skill set around the sword. Kisame and Zabuza both nodded, knowing the point of what Itachi was saying was correct.
I am aware that through Kiri's history, if you defeat a swordsman, you get their sword, correct? Yes, you either get it that way or someone dies and it is given to you. That is the way it has always been, Itachi. Yes, Kisame, it has always been that way. Kisame, how much weaker would you be with Zabuza's sword? Much less strong due to me having extremely elite water ninjutsu. The chakra-absorbing capabilities with the sword increase my ninjustu abilities. Zabuza, how would having Kisame's sword have the samahada effect on your fighting abilities? Having the samahada would not make me a better fighter due to my silent killing abilities. The reparrying aspect of my sword fits more with my style of fighting than the samahada sword. This is 100% my point; the way it used to be set up does not make sense to me. It does not make sense because the ideal skill set is not always paired with the correct sword. There is only one ninja through history that was equally as good with all swords. That was Mangetsu, who was able to liquefy his body at will. Due to that, it did not matter what sword he had; he was good with all of them. On top of that, I think killing off one of your top 20 ninjas just for a ritual is just stupid. The point of this is that if we pull these kids out of the academy right now, they will grow with their swords. Zabuza and Kisame, do you understand this? Yes, Mizukage, they both replied at the same time. Alright, what sword do you want to start with?
Itachi could tell Zabuza felt strongly about one of them. Go ahead, Zabuza. The sword I think is very obviously meant for one of them is the Hiramekeri. Go ahead and bring up Naruto's profile. As we all know, he is the 9-tails Jinchuriki with extremely high chakra reserves. He uses shadow clones to learn multiple things at once. One of those things is the Hirashan. He is extremely creative in fights and really can think on his feet. The Hiramekeri is capable of storing chakra, and the two holes at the tip of the blade emit it on command. This can then be formed into various weapons, including a hammer or a longer sword. The size of the resulting weapon appears to depend upon the amount of chakra stored up beforehand, meaning a larger quantity will be met with a similar increase in the weapon's ultimate size. I mean, could you imagine the damage the sword of the Jinchuriki of the strongest Biju in history that grows as big as the chakra reserves are? On top of that, it can take many forms, and he is incredibly creative. On top of that, he could put the Hirishan seal on this sword and transport it where the sword goes and use its ridiculous power to kill people. I mean, this, in my opinion, is 100% his sword. He already easily had S-ranked potential, but after this he has the top 5 strongest in the world potential. Yeah, I am sure you know that he needs time to start to bring out Biju's energy, Zabuza. Would that happen after the sword training? No, I think he should do them both at the same time, Itachi. He should use his real body to train with the Biju. I want him to train over the next two years with the thought process of using Biju's chakra with the sword. We have no clue if it will take him a long time to figure out how to do it. I don't want this guy going in the field and getting killed young because he was underdeveloped with all of the obvious potential he has. He will use his shadow clones during his sword training, and if they disperse in the training, he will just have to send more. He can create hundreds of them right now. It's not like his shadow clones studying the Hirashan will pop, so it's not like it will interrupt it. We have two years to have him grow. During his breaks from training with the Jinchuriki, he will have to train his body. His wrists, forearms, core, and shoulder and back muscles are the ones that he will have to focus on. Okay, I will have to summon Yagura back to the village and have him train Naruto in all of those things. Is there anything else? Naruto's chakra nature is wind, so Yagura should make him make clones to have him start practicing wind chakra. He is a very upbeat and happy person. He works hard and has dreams of becoming Mizukage. He will be a good influence on others in the training.That all makes sense, Zabuza. Kisame, do you disagree with this? No, I agree with Zabuza; he is the obvious choice. I agree with you both as well. Naruto will be the wielder of the Hiramekeri.
Itachi, the next sword I want to talk about is the Kiba sword. It is a pair of swords, each with slim and straight double-edged blades. Both blades also have an upward-curved, bladed prong near the tip of one side of the blade and another one near the base of the blade's other side. They each have been imbued with lightning, displaying enhanced cutting power. They allow the user to transform and manipulate lightning freely. They also boost the user's attack power to the highest limit, which allows them to perform high-level Lightning Release techniques with a minimal cost of chakra. These blades can channel the user's own respective lightning techniques or conduct natural lightning. As long as there is natural lighting to access, the user can battle continuously without tiring and launch lightning from the sky to strike anywhere within a large area. They can also be connected at the hilts to form a larger double-bladed sword. They are able to perform various long-distance, powerful, and defensive techniques, either lightning-based or imbued with it. I personally think Sasuke is the correct user for this sword. His chakra nature is lightning, and he has very good chakra reserves. He would be a good fit. Zabuza turned to Itachi. Zabuza, those are good points, but his Susanoo has an arrow in his fully manifested form, which is very powerful. I do not think it would make sense for him to have a sword that he could not use with his Susanoo. What are our other options, Zabuza? Hinata's chakra nature is lightning, so that would make sense. Chojoro has good chakra reserves even though his chakra nature is water. We could teach him lightning, and he could use both. Mindy looks like she was as gifted as Mei with her water, fire, and earth chakra natures, but her learning lightning chakra nature on top of that would be unrealistic. Rock Lee does not have enough chakra to use the sword. I want to get this out of the way. I do not think that Rock Lee should be a swordsman at all. His potential is 100% tied to him working with Might Guy as a taijutsu specialist. His potential with any one of the swords is lower than his potential being trained by Might Guy. Do you guys agree that we should not bring him up for any of the swords? Itachi and Kisame nodded their heads to Zabuza. Haku has Ice Release, but her potential is as a long-range specialist, not a ninjutsu beast. I personally think that out of those options, Chojuro would be the best choice. With his good chakra reserves and him using lightning and water, Justu would make him a Ninjustu beast, especially with the reduced chakra costs. Hinata may have lightning chakra, but her chakra reserves are average at best. Kisame spoke: I do agree with Zabuza, though Itachi, that Sasuke is the best choice. I mean, if he could use the sword in his Susanoo, it would make him a Ninjutsu beast. It would also increase his non-Susanoo power, which would make him have to use it less. What is the harm in checking if he can use the Kiba sword with his Susanoo Itachi? I mean, if he could, his potential may rival the power of my Susanoo one day. The Susanoo already greatly increases the power of Ninjutsu; the combination between that and the sword would be unbelievable. I will go check with Sasuke to see if he can merge the Kiba sword with his Susanoo.
Sasuke We are very far away from the village right now so that we do not damage anything. Yes, Itachi. Alright, we are going to test something today. Sounds good. What are we testing, brother? Well, you know how you have your bow and arrow with your susanoo? Yes, Itachi, that arrow is so cool in my Susanoo! And I have big wings with my purple susanoo that allow me to fight at range. Okay, yes, we are going to see if you can add a different weapon to your susanoo. Here this is a sword. This sword is the kiba blade; it is one of the 7 swords of the mist. This blade is extremely sharp and conducts lighting chakra naturally. On top of that, it makes all ninjustu cost less chakra-wise. Do you remember when we tested your chakra nature and it was lightning? Yes brother! Well, we are thinking of giving this blade to you. Go ahead and do 5 fire-style ninjustu, and then do 5 of them with the sword. Yes Itachi! Itatchi watched Sauske do his firestyle ninjustu, which had gotten much stronger and wider than 2 years ago. Now with the ninjustu you did with the sword, did they use less of your chakra? Yes! It was so cool! Okay, so what I want you to do is really focus on crating your Susanoo and adding that sword to it instead of your bow and arrow, okay? Yes, Itachi, I will do it! After about 20 seconds later, Itachi saw Sauskee's purple susanoo with the Kiba sword in his hands. Itachi got into his orange susanoo form and put up his Yata mirror. Sauske, send 10 fire ninjsutu and let me know if the chakra costs are less. Yes brother! Sauske sent the 10 fire ninjustu at Itatchi that looked like it was doing no damage to Itachi's yata mirror. Yes, Itachi, they barley drained my chakra. Okay, can you still use your bow as well? Itachi saw him go back and forth from the sword to the bow and arrow. Itachi deactivated the susanoo, not wanting to test his yata mirror verses that crazy powerful Indra's arrow today. Deactivate your, Susanoo Sauske. Yes Itachi. Let's head back home. I am proud of how much your, fire Justu, have improved Sauske. Thank you, brother. Will I be able to use the sword? I am not 100% certain yet; we are still deciding. Okay, brother, if I get the sword, I will look so cool! Maybe our nickname will be the 4 red-eye lighting sword brothers? That would be so cool, right, Itachi? Sorry, Sauske, that nickname is to long; nobody would use it. Awww, man, it was such a good idea. Itachi walked Sauske back home, feeling very good that Sauske could be such a happy person after the Uchiha clan massacare.
Hi, Zabuza and Kisame Are you guys ready to start talking about the swordsman again? Yes, Kazekage-sama. So yes, Sasuke could add the sword to his Susanoo. Sasuke did say that it did not drain on his chakra as much using the sword in the Susanoo while using ninjutsu. I am guessing that means he is going to wield the sword? Yes, Itachi, it is perfectly suited for him. He will be a ninjutsu specialist for sure. We should have him train with Kakashi, whose chakra nature is lightning as well, to master it. Yeah, that makes sense. Alright, Zabuza, which sword do you want to talk about next? The Nibari, which is a narrow, long sword. It has a long length of thin wire, mirroring thread, tied through the eye located at the base of its hilt. It has the ability to pierce all and stitch them together. It can effortlessly penetrate multiple targets in a single thrust. The sword can also be thrown to pierce enemies. The thread can be used to bind someone to a certain spot as well. Okay, Zabuza, who do you think should have it? At first, I thought Haku before she started training with Might Guy to open the 8 gates. Her potential is being a long-range senbon specialist. She can use multiple senbon as attacks with the 8 gates. What makes her scary is she could use hundreds of senbon. If she was limited to just one thing she could throw, like the sword, her long-range potential would never be realized. It just does not make sense for her. For me personally, I feel like Chojuro, Hinata, or Shikamaru would be the right choice for the sword. Because Chojuro could use his water ninjutsu, on top of the sword, he would be a midrange fighting specialist for sure. Is it correct, Itachi, that the gentle fist turns off chakra points? Yes, Zabuza, that is correct. Well, if Hinata could turn off the pressure points with an already long sword, that would make getting close to her really tough, right? Yes, she would be very tough to fight against in the normal Tiajustu range with that. Her chakra nature is lightning as well, so the piercing power of the sword would greatly be increased if she were able to encase it in a lightning chakra. Yeah, that would make a lot of sense. Kisame, it looks like you're thinking of something. Can the Byakugan see through the walls, Itachi? Yes, they can, Kisame. What if, after teaching her lighting chakra nature, we teach earth ninjutsu? Imagine if she could build a wall and then encase the Nuibari in lightning chakra and stab them through the wall. A normal person in that situation would stab someone through the shoulder or miss entirely. But that would not be an issue for her. She would just stab them through the heart or the head.I think giving Hinata the Nuibari makes a lot of sense. I would agree with you, Kisame. Itachi, am I right that Shikamaru will always have to keep his handsigns active for his family jutsu? Yes, that is correct. So you have never seen anyone ever do it one-handed. No, never. Even though his intelligence would be interesting. We cannot put the sword in the hands of someone who cannot use it. So I agree with you, Kisame and Itachi, that Hinata should be the sword-wielder of the Nuibari.
Alright, Zabuza Which sword do you want to talk about next? I think the Shibuki should be next.The blade utilizes various explosive tags contained within a substantial scroll. The sword itself features two distinct sides, with a narrow cutting edge located down the entirety of one length and a wide platform section on the other. The aforementioned scroll unrolls along this latter side, sliding downwards and resting atop its surface to form an individual segment comprised of numerous explosive tags, which separates from the remainder upon detonation. The sword is able to reload another segment of tags onto the platform automatically after each strike. A skilled user of the sword can make the exploding tags go much farther than the sword for some midrange assaults.I feel like Mindy, Shino, and Chojuro are the frontrunners for this sword. With Mindy being given the same gifts as Mei, she would have very strong ninjutsu abilities. It would be interesting if she could add an acidic element to these paper bombs. Zabuza I will go ahead and stop you there, and then we will bring in Mei and see if this is a possible thing. Yes, Itachi.
Hi Mei, thank you for coming. Anything for my handsome man; you look so good when you are focused. Zabuza, Mei, and Kisame saw a rare blush from Itachi, which made them smile. Thank you, Mei. We are deciding who will be the next 7 swordsman of the mist, and MIndy was brought up as a possible weilder of the Shibuki sword, and since it looks like she has very similar potential as you, we wanted to know what you thought about her learning to be a swordsman? Well, between mastering 4 chakra natures and perfecting 2 Kekkei Genkai releases takes at least a decade. She started training when she was 8, but with the two years to learn the sword, it would be a little unrealistic. She probably starts taking missions at 12, and I would be worried about her dying when she is weaker with her ninjustu before reaching her potential. That makes sense; learning that many different things sounds tough. Yes, and you have to completely master them to be able to use them in the Kekkei genkai as well. That makes sense Thank you for letting us know, Mei.Of course, my handsome man, I will see you later. Mei gave Itachi a passionate kiss and then left. Itatchi's face was red again; he should have known that Mei would not feel socially awkward to do that around others in his MIzukage office.
It looks like it is between Shino and Chojuro for the Shibuki. Well, Chojuro, like previously talked about, is a ninjutsu specialist, so he would be a good fit with the sword. He could possibly fill up his water jutsu with the paper bombs, but bombs underwater are not super effective. Itachi looked at Kisame after Zabuza described Chojuro's abilities. He could tell that he had a good idea again. I know Shino's clan uses bugs at long range to poison or absorb chakra, right? Yeah, they are usually long-range fighters. Yes, the way to beat Aburame clan members is to usually fight at close range. Well, if we made him a swordsman now, he cannot be beaten at close range. Zabuza wrote down that he also has two chakra natures with fire and earth, so he could mix in defensive and offensive ninjutsu on top of it. But what really interests me is what if he could use his paper bombs with his bugs to use at long range. And how rare is it to have paper bombs that actually can move midair to their target? That sounds like a super tough combination with this poison and chakra-draining abilities. Wow, Kisame That is a very good idea. On top of that, Shino's clan jutsu does not require hand signs. I will go talk to Shino's dad.
Hi Shibi, It is nice to see you. Thank you for coming, Mizukage. How can I help you? This is Shibuki, one of the 7 swords of the mist. It has the ability to generate paper bombs. We are thinking of giving this sword to your son, Shino. Can you come with me to a wooded area? I want to see if you can do something. Okay, since we are in this field, I was curious if you could use your bugs to pick up the exploding tags from the sword and have them attack some trees. Itachi saw Shibi take many of the exploding tags from the sword and move them in multiple different directions, exploding many trees in the process. Well, that answers one of my questions. I have another question, Shibi. The training process for learning the sword would be about two years. Do you think that Shino would be able to do this training while still being good at mastering your clan jutsu? Yes, or clan members learn how to use our jutsu very easily. What allows us to grow with it is using it in battle and coming up with new and creative ways to use it. Thank you very much for your help. Shibi I am going to head back to the office. Itachi got a nod back from the famously quiet Aburame clan head and then went back to his office.
Hello Kisame and Zabuza, are you ready to start this meeting again? Yes Itachi. I found out that Shibi could use his bugs to move the exploding tags in multiple different directions. He also did confirm that the 2-year training regime for becoming a swordsman would not inhibit his growth with the clan justu. I was told that they really just need combat to come up with creative ways to use their justu with time. That is good news, Itachi. I personally feel like he is the better choice than Chojuro. Yea, I agree with Zabuza that he is the right fighter over Chojuro with that sword. With him having fire and earth chakra natures, he can really fight at any range. It would almost like fighting against someone with a 10-minute clock, and if you do not defeat him, you lose due to the chakra-draining and poisoning effect of his bugs. He would truly be scary. He could be as strong as me one day. Itachi looked at Zabuza and Kisame and knew they were correct. Let's give the Shibuki to Shino.
