Name: Hien Battou Kasumikiri [飛燕抜刀霞斬り Flying Sparrow Sword-Draw Mist Cutter]Rank: S
Owner: Sou - Bliss
Appearance: The Hien Battou Kasumikiri is a doutanuki blade; it's hilt is extremely long, and is most often used as a two-handed weapon because of its sheer weight and power. The blade itself is about twice as long as a normal katana, and weighs almost four times a normal katana. Fused with Bliss chakra, however, the weapon becomes light enough to be used one-handed without serious problems -- it should be noted that by wielding the blade with two hands, the user is able to employ all of the force of the blade into a strike. The parts that make it different is that (1) the black wooden scabbard is covered with scars that form the shape of a flying sparrow, and the whole arrangement is covered with loose bandages; (2) the guard has several holes in it, and the hilt is hollow. The blade itself is of fine quality, and does not bend nor break easily; this was proved when the blade proved sharp enough to cut Bliss plasma bullets in half without them exploding.
Length: 5 Feet
Width: 36 Inches Across
Material: An alloy of about 1% beryllium and 98.5% nickel, with a touch of titanium .5%. It has an ultimate tensile strength of 300,000 psi, and 245,000 psi yield strength! This is 375% stronger than the best high tensile steel. The tensile strength of 98.5% beryllium is about 58,000 psi, so it seems to do a lot better when mixed with other metals.
Weight: 121 Lbs (Half the Weight when Sou Wields it)
Abilities: • The Hien Battou Kasumikiri launches a thick mist upon drawing the blade -- the water particles in the air can be condensed to create a jet of water or a slash of the liquid. Or the mist can be left alone, and the range of the mist is roughly a spherical area with a radii of twenty feet around the user.
• The mist summoned from the blade can be controlled, especially its temperature -- the user can make the mist burn or freeze by physical contact.
• The mist helps the user to escape by proving a cover should he decide to run, and also ample material to create a shadow clone and leave him/her to deal with the wrath of others before exploding.
• It should be noted that the mist comes out of the hilt; if the several holes are blocked, then the sword can explode, the pressure shattering the blade.
• should be noted that the hilt and other parts are only hollow, and the sword requires the Suiton element chakra in order to create the mist.
Info: Previously a weapon used by one of the Mist Seven Swordsmen, Hien Battou Kasumikiri is a lethal blade that has been said to be cursed by its maker. It fell into Bliss hands when he battled against the Mist Seven Swordsman, Hanada Kyousuke, during his time as Jounin. It is ironic that the blade is named "Hien Battou Kasumikiri", which translates into "Flying Sparrow Sword-Draw Mist Cutter" -- Tsubame in Japanese means "Sparrow [燕]".
