List of Common Kenjutsu

Drilling Crimson Blade: Towa takes out his blade and channels his chakra into it. Towa runs toward the opponent, slashing them upwards into the air and then appears above him/her, and delivers a sharp, drilling slash down upon them, impelling the opponent to the ground.

Flying Swallow Barrage: Asuma uses his Flying Swallow and start a sequence of slashes finishing with a falling slash.

Fury Swallow: Asuma punches the opponent a few times and finishes them with two final slashes.

Rotating Ferocious Wind: This is a technique used with chakra enhanced weaponry, which creates a large gust of wind. When Seimei united the weapons with the other three special weapons from Takumi Village, the gust of wind transformed into a very strong whirlwind.

Sword Barrage: With this jutsu, the user makes a sequence of slashes with their sword and finishes with a powerful final slash doing liberal damage to the enemy.

Flying Sparrow: Asuma channels enormous amounts of chakra into his Chakra Enhanced weapons repeatedly strikes the opponent. With the finishing blow he makes a great big slash. Then, the opponent falls, and out of nowhere another blinding slash comes, greatly damaging the enemy.

Heaven's Needle Barrage: Komachi moves forward and delivers a quick slashing attack with her short sword, pushing the opponent away from her. She then leaps high into the air above the opponent and removes the ornamental needles in her hair before throwing them downward in a fast-moving barrage. This technique lands a fairly large number of hits upon the opponent and also inflicts severe damage.

Hiramekarei Unleashing: Chōjūrō unleashes his sword, shaping chakra around it to form a giant hammer. This causes the bandages that are wrapped around the sword to unravel. The chakra can actually mold into other weapons.

Kusanagi Sharp Slashes: Sasuke appears in front of his enemy, takes out his sword slashing the enemy many times and reappears behind his enemy. Then, the enemy collapses shortly afterward.

Samurai Saber Technique: Unique to samurai, this technique employs the concept of 'Chakra Flow', similar to the Flying Swallow and Sword of Kusanagi: Chidori Katana techniques. Through "Chakra Flow", the user channels their chakra through their swords. This extends the reach and the cutting edge of the blade, and also allows the user to fire crescents of energy whenever the blade is swung. This released chakra is capable of great destruction as shown from how it ripped up, or through, a stone pillar; the shock from the samurai that someone "could" deflect this jutsu is also telling. The samurai have also shown shape transformation, as the chakra blades form into giant buzz-saws, broad swords, spiked shafts, and axes. This ability allows the samurai to rely on smaller swords while retaining greater reach, damage, and surprise as needed.

Sword of Kusanagi: Chidori Katana: This technique allows Sasuke to flow Chidori through his chokutō. This makes it nearly unblockable as the radiating and chirping blade can easily cut through steel. Furthermore, if an opponent is stabbed, their body goes numb due to an electrical current which causes the muscles to go stiff, making it impossible for the opponent to move.

Sword of Kusanagi: Long Sword of the Heavens: This is a technique that allows Orochimaru to levitate the Sword of Kusanagi and attack foes at mid-range. The blade will move according to Orochimaru's finger movements.

Wind Counter: Using the Chakra enhanced weaponry, the user of this technique can easily cancel another Wind Release technique and redirect it to its user in the form of a hurricane.

Chidori Sword: Sasuke uses his chokuto sword to channel an extremely powerful Chidori capable of shocking anything in its path. It appears to have an even greater range than Chidori Current, making it more effective in battle. It can be noted that this technique is more of a use on water, because the lightning current produced is carried on the entire surface making it more difficult for the enemy to avoid it.

Raging Swallow: Asuma slashes the opponent with his Chakra Enhanced weapon, repeatedly punches them, uppercuts them and deals heavy damage on them with one final slash that emits wind chakra strong enough to slice a huge layer of rock.

Raging Thunder: By focusing much gelel energy on his sword and giving a blow with it, Temujin can create a powerful Gelel barrier before him. This jutsu was used in an attempt to negate Naruto's Rasengan. The two attacks resulted in a massive explosion that destroyed the mountain peak that Naruto and Temujin were fighting on.

Wind Cutter Technique: This technique requires wind-infused chakra enhanced weapons, and allows the user to divide and neutralize a Wind Release technique, making it harmless. The user can even redirect it to the launcher of the Wind technique.


Seven Swords Dance: Killer Bee goes into a pose with his seven swords. The swords are charged with lightning chakra to greatly increase their cutting power through high-frequency vibrations. He holds a blade at both his elbow joints, one at his left armpit, one in his mouth, one in his right neck joint, one between his stomach and one at his right leg. As strange as it seems, Killer Bee is very skilled with these blades, and spins in a manner similar to a buzz saw, leaving no opening for even a skilled Sharingan user like Sasuke Uchiha and a highly trained swordsman Suigetsu Hōzuki. Striking with his various ways of unpredictable spinning, Killer Bee finds an opening and strikes with all seven of his swords simultaneously. Though powerful, Killer Bee applied too much pressure on the blades, and several of them snapped at impact.
