Name Tōshi Tsuyoki
Rank Jōnin
Brief History Tsuyoki was born to a Chūnin mother and father of Kiri, both of whom were taijutsu-oriented shinobi. She was brought up through the academy with much the same training they themselves went through, so that Tsuyoki could grown up to become a strong fighter like they were. Thus, by the time she was older and had long-since graduated the academy, she was an accomplished fighter skilled in stealth, as she had trained her body to peak condition.
Her father, proficient in kenjutsu, had trained Tsuyoki in the use of the sword through all of this. Her skill with a bladed weapon and as a shinobi in general caught the attention of the Mizukage, and she was inducted into the famed Shinobigatana, a collection of the most skilled swordsman in the village. She was given the Ishikiri Inju, the sword that suited her best seeing as it would only compliment her own fighting skills.
Sword Name and Abilities
Ishikiri Inju (石切り印綬, Stone-Cutting Ribbon) Special - Offensive Stone-Cutting Ribbon is a special sword passed down through each generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. It is a double-edged broadsword roughly six inches wide, the entire blade being wrapped in one long, sturdy ribbon.
Stone-Cutting Ribbon is able to pass on its durability and cutting power to the ribbon attached to it, allowing it to cut like a normal blade, as well as block other attacks and restrain people. It obtained its name because this ability once enabled the original owner to cut through solid stone with it.
The ribbon is under the full control of the sword, thus allowing Tsuyoki to control is as effectively as she can the sword itself. It is able to operate a short distance away from her, range similar to that of a Water Clone, before it would fall out of her control.

Name: Majogari Hikage
Rank: Jounin - exOinin
Brief History: Hikage, a member of the dark and vicious Majogari clan, was a Shinobi from his very birth. Trained, broken, repaired and trained some more, from a very young age Hikage and his brother were raised to become the best of the best. Joining the Oinin shortly after being promoted to Chuunin, both brothers became well known in their talents when it came to reaping life from others.
As fate would have it, their father, a member of the Seven Swordsmen, chooses Hikage’s brother to be his heir. Burned with rage and disgraced by this, Hikage soon fell into disrepair. When the war came and caught many by surprise, the brother was caught behind enemy lines and violently interrogated. Knowing what had to be done; Hikage found the location of his brother and assassinated him, making sure to take the precious sword with him back to the village and to dispose of the body. This operation, which was vital to Kirigakure’s success during the war, earned Hikage a name and his father’s admiration, allowing him to inherit the sword and to become one of the Seven Swordsmen.
Sword Name and Abilities: Unpyou (Clouded Leopard)
Unpyou, or the Clouded Leopard, is also known as the Sword of Severing amongst the Seven Swords. Unlike traditional blades, Unpyou is a ring sword, or a blade that connects to both ends of the hilt in a large ring. This allows the blade to be spun and used efficiently when coupled with skillful flexibility and acrobatics. The hilt of the blade takes up a foot of the actual ring, with the weapon being a total of six feet in diameter.
What makes Unpyou unique is the special ability that was imbedded into it upon creation. By adding chakra to the blade, the user can cause the diameter of the blade to shrink or grow—changing the diameter by up to one half either way. This allows for efficient sneak attacks, along with a large array of other possible functions with the blade.

Name: Haganesame Sougen
Rank: Oinin
History: Childhood: Haganesame grew up like most children... who were forced into learning how to be a shinobi of the elite, and learning what it meant to truly be a shinobi at a very young age. She was a very happy child, growing up with her older sister, and two brothers, one older the other younger. Her sister was a Jounin and her brother a Chuunin, who were always on missions, therefore he never really knew her older siblings. Since Haganesame's parents we all higher ranked ninja, he felt it her job to teach her little brother.
Academy: Haganesame was not on the academy for a very long time, he learned fast and enjoyed going to the academy because he loved learning new things, and it was her passion at the time. Haganesame had many friends, and was well liked by her teachers, she just knew how to get to people, and how to find out what made them tick, so that he could befriend them. Her teachers loved her Ninjutsu ability, and her friends loved it when he showed off her skills. Haganesame was a very kind child and cared about all little things, but by the time he had become a Genin, she realized that all that mattered in like were her comrades, her mission, and the shinobi code, to which he had memorized completely.
Genin: As a Genin Haganesame was considered almost perfect, he enjoyed missions, knew to never show how she felt and that it was her duty to protect her village, him comrades and to make sure the mission was finished. Sadly when he took the Chuunin Exams he found the truth about missions and comrades. She discovered that he really only needed to complete the mission, at any cost, even her own life or the life of others.
Chuunin: Haganesame's Chuunin life was possibly the worst part of her life, as a Chuunin her parents had been killed in a fire, her sister became a Nukenin, and she kidnapped her little brother. In her head Haganesame was so very confused, she decided to almost stop being a Shinobi altogether, and although a very highly respected ninja, she was heartless, cold and mean. She swore vengeance for her parents, to kill the people who burned her parents, and to bring back her sister and little brother.
Around now Haganesame was hunting the people who killed her parents still, she knew they were still committing arson, just by the fact that she had heard about it. Haganesame trained almost all day stopping only to sleep and occasionally eat, but some days she went without food, sometimes for two to three days at a time. She didn't care about anything but killing the people who murdered her parents, she stopped going on mission almost and until the day he found who killed her Parents did not plan on ever doing another mission again. When she did finally find the people who killed her parents she slaughtered them all, all but one, the leader who she burned at the stake. After that she resumed her place as a shinobi, but had grown into a monstrous being, which lived to kill, and killed to live. It was during this time that she was recruited to become an apprentice of the Kiri no Shinobigatana Nananin Shū. Her ruthless, bloodthirsty fighting style seemed to make her a prime candidate as an apprentice. She was shark like in appearance and nature; she was willing to kill even her own comrades if told to do so. She lived to fight and kill any who stood in her way. She was a monstrous being to say the least. She preferred assassination missions to any other. He skill in kenjutsu made her a fierce opponent who was generally feared yet looked up to by the aspiring swordsmen of her village.
Jonin: Whilst training with the Shinobigatana, Haganesame was promoted to the rank of Jonin for her superb skill. She was 23 when she was made a Jonin. It was quite obvious that she was getting a little old to be an apprentice, but she was not seen to have the skill quite yet. She was not all too saddened by this by rather infuriated when her own sensei came and told her that she was most likely not going to be fit to become one of the Kiri no Shinobigatana Nananin Shū. She did not show her feelings outright, she did what any good shinobi would do; she killed her emotions completely. For the next few year she trained harder than she ever had, with what her sensei described as "futile and meaningless".
One night after a great deal of training Haganesame went to go see her sensei only to find, before even opening the door, that he was speaking with what she presumed was his new pupil. She was crushed and without thinking she rushed into the house brandishing her sword. She made a quick slash at the young man sitting with her sensei; severing his head clean off his body. Her sensei was now infuriated with her. The two battled for quite some time, Haganesame suffered two severe wounds; one to her neck and another to her stomach. These were wounds that normally would have killed someone, but she kept on fighting seeming almost stronger. Finally she killed her,now, former sensei. Upon doing this she achieved a position in the Kiri no Shinobigatana Nananin Shū. Haganesame at this point was thirty years old, she is currently 38.
Sword Name: Za Aoi Kira- Abilities: Za Aoi Kira- is the sword used by Haganesame. It is super charged with Raiton chakra. When in use the sword has an aura of raiton around it, that is powered by Hagnesame's chakra. The aura can increase to and extra foot in length and depth to increase the range, however, the blade itself does not grow any. It can also be used as a lightning rod to make it even more powerful, this will super charge the sword. . The sword can create lightning bolts from the ground by doing this. It can also shoot out bolts of Raiton chakra with great accuracy. The lightning has no ill affects on her.

a star in the mist Name: Zangon Ichigo Rank: Chūnin Brief History: Turmoil and distress was at a rampage in the Zangon family. Battles and wars had destroyed the bonds Ichigo had, being left as an orphan meandering the streets of Kirigakure. Theft was a means of survival, pinching any food or water was Ichigo's way of living. His life of crime was brought to a halt, being taken in by a generous man known as Tsunayoshi. Tsunayoshi happened to be a respected swordsmen, known for being an explicit master of the blades. This set a new light for Ichigo, willing to follow the footsteps of Tsunayoshi and wield his own instrument of battle. Ichigo spent years under strict yet wise tutelage, which developed his skills and merged his arts of Kenjutsu and Ninjutsu. Ichigo's growth proved him worthy of inheriting the Gangōbōshi. Ichigo's skills became visible, which then gained him a position within the esteemed Kiri no Shinobigatana. Sword Name and Abilities: Gangōbōshi 「Grand Star 」A zanbatō constructed of the finest material and has withstood battle for many years. The very shape of the blade blatantly shows it's tireless endeavors. Gangōbōshi is incredibly sensitive to chakra, and layers itself with an immense aura once activated. By manipulating chakra flow, the sword emanates vibrant chakra out from a hole at the front of Gangōbōshi, and then densely molds about the surface. It can then be shaped into various weapons of Ichigo's choice. This makes the sword capable of great destruction, dependent of the shape, size and magnitude of the chakra focused. The charges of chakra can also be used to propel Ichigo at high speeds, thus increasing the speed of his swings and motions. The sword is also reactive with chakra nature, which makes it ideal for elemental reconstruction and brings forth catalyst properties and capabilities. Utilizing a chakra nature is more draining on Ichigo's chakra. Without applying chakra, the sword itself is still capable of cutting through large objects, due to its great size and density.

Sword Name and Abilities:
Ookami | Wild God
Ookami allows the user to actively and consciously control the blade within a twenty foot radius. While the sword feeds on the user's chakra for sustenance, it grants the user incredible ease of use because movement is not determined by the swing of one's hand, but the thought from one's mind. There is literally little effort required aside from the exertion of the mind. As long as the blade is regularly fed with the user's chakra, the blade will continue to function through self mobility.

Sword Name and Abilities: Gyorai
The Lightning Fish(魚雷) is a giant two handled sword is worn in a holster upon the users back. It's shape slightly takes after a fish as the name implies. It weighs quite a bit causing the user to have to take short breaks every now and then during long treks. Despite being as heavy as it is, he has trained with the large sword enough to where he can swing it with one arm treating it like a normal sword, though if he wants to use ultimate power behind each swing he needs to use both handles.

Bullshit, he stole the description of my character's sword, see here, scroll down to last piece of equipment.

Name: Chikusatsu Jikogisei Rank: Jounin - Oinin Brief History: Chikusatsu was born in Kirigakure no Sato, to one of the most feral clans in the country, second in wild ferocity only to the infamous clan outside the borders of the village, the Kaguya. Although most of the villagers lived their lives in solitude, hunting wild prey and taking care for only themselves, Chikusatsu met another fate. His parents were killed in battle near the great village, presumably civilian casualties while heading toward Kirigakure no Sato. However, he survived and was eventually picked up by a passing villager, who took the child in, raising him as a member of the village, his roots unknown. At the typical young age, Chikusatsu entered the Ninja Academy and begin learning the basic skills he would need through-out his lifetime. He remained in the class for two years, feeling no urge to get out of there any more quickly than normal, mingling with his peers and enjoying what life had to offer. He graduated with rather low scores, though not the lowest in the glass, and was teamed up with others accordingly. As a Genin, he enjoyed himself in the team, always trying to have fun and never taking training too seriously. That all changed, however, while on their sixth mission, when they were ambushed by a few Chunin from another country. During the battle, Chikusatsu was stabbed in the arm, no longer able to use it, though rather than being greatly weakened, he found that it made the rest of his body stronger. Using this strange gift, he continued fighting, and eventually the three Genin, along with their Jounin Sensei, pushed back the attackers. Returning home to seek medical treatment for their wounds, the three children reminisced about what had happened, wanting to learn from their mistakes and grow stronger to prevent such things from happening again. While the others recuperated, Chikusatsu began to study in the village library, wanting to know what had happened to him. Weeks of research eventually led him to believe he was a member of a bloodline clan within Mizu no Kuni that possessed a unique trait. He tested the theory upon himself, and discovered that it was true, which changed everything about how he perceived life. He stopped being lazy, spending far more time training than ever before, pushing himself to his limits on a regular basis. He had finally discovered that he possessed a Kekkei Genkai and was learning to use it properly. After about two years of training with his bloodline limit far more often, he decided to pick up the sword and wield a blade in combat along with jutsu, maximizing his combat efficiency. He carried the regular blade at his side at all times, practicing with it wherever he went, utilizing it in combat to the best of his abilities. He used it, along with ninjutsu techniques and his bloodline limit to pass the difficult Chunin exams, with his two teammates. He spent nearly three years as a Chunin, going on missions and training every single day, wanting to maximize his skill and talent in all areas. This included becoming an Oinin, learning all that they had to offer as well, holding up one further great task for the village. Because of this dedication, he was promoted to Jounin, a great accomplishment in his eyes. During the war, Chikusatsu hads slain many enemies, though his wounds were countless. He did manage to survive, which was good enough for him, as the war ended and he no longer needed to worry about such troublesome things, at least not for now. Chikusatsu now seeks to join something greater than himself, something bigger than any other position in the village, excluding that of Mizukage, of course. Sword Name and Abilities: Shouhei "Wounded Soldier" A unique sword crafted within the confines of a dark ritual, some believe that the spirit of a cursed demon resides in the blade, though this is far from the truth. Appearing to be a completely normal Katana, aside from the many kanji upon the entirety of the blade and handle. The blade was forged with various Fuuinjutsu, granting it a series of unique gifts, stemming from a single, dark power.
Simply to be withdrawn properly from the similarly kanji-covered sheath, one must know the proper hand seals to begin the chain-seals that are in place upon the blade. When drawn forth, the silent contract is immediately in place, the sword demanding the users chakra. If the user tries to use chakra for any ninjutsu techniques while holding the sword, the technique will fail, and twice that amount of chakra will be lost, drained by the sword. This mistake can easily prove fatal. The chakra demanded by the sword is used to power the dark fuuinjutsu that makes it such a deadly force to be reckoned with.
Any damage the wielder of the Shouhei takes while also be dealt to an enemy the next time it strikes. Because of this, the more the swordsman is injured, the more he can injure his opponent, that is if he is able to strike them. The damage shared is not just that in combat, but the current state of the wielder. If previously injured in a fight and entering combat before he is healed, the sword would still deal that much damage. Of course, going into any fight while injured is always a dangerous idea. This also applies to not only injuries, but physical defects as well. If the wielder of the sword is deaf and has one non-working arm, by any means, striking an enemy would cause the same effects to them.
Although the abilities of the sword seem powerful at first, the weaknesses are just as much; preventing the user from utilizing chakra for ninjutsu or genjutsu, while being more useful the closer to death the user is. Lastly, unknown to all but the current possessor, if the blade is drawn but put back into the sheath before someone dies that it has wounded, it will inflict infinite wounds upon he who has it and drain all of their chakra... Killing them.
