· En's Blade (やいばのえん, Yaiba no En): A blade resulting from the Hair Weapon technique, unique to Shoko En. By utilizing the growing properties of her hair, En can cause the blade to extend at high speed and impale her opponents from a distance. The blade also carries tremendous force when extending, and En can maintain the extension and swing the elongated blade in wide arcs, attacking multiple targets quickly and simultaneously.

This seems to me to be more in line with a jutsu ability then being an actual weapon, considering she uses her hair jutsu to make the weapon.

I'd go that route, since you could also define it to include other types of weaponry and even shields.

I'll hold off, until I hear back, which way your going with it.

· Hair of Darkness (やみがみ, Yamigami): A secret technique, passed down through generations in the Shoko clan, which allows its members to permeate a chakra field from their scalp into their naturally soft yet strong hair. This further passively allows the clan member to animate their hair for an innumerable number of feats.

The main feature of the Hair of Darkness is that it allows the clan member to control the movement of their hair as if it were countless thin appendages growing from their head. Through just mental direction and some concentration, clan members can move their hair in any manner imaginable.

Clan members can snap a length of hair through the air like a whip, or rotate it in a fan-like manner. Clan members can bind persons or objects with it as if it were rope. They can also perform delicate manipulations with their hair such as lock picking or threading a needle, and such complex acts of coordination as typing or shuffling a deck of cards.

The chakra field causes mutual attraction across the gaps between strands. These relatively small forces operate in conjunction to develop larger forces. This allows the clan member to perform great feats of strength with their hair.

Clan members can use their hair to lift objects which weigh more than they could lift with their arms. Their scalp, skull, and neck do not support the weight of an object that they lift: It is held aloft by the chakra field coursing through the hair. To lift and move significantly heavy weights; a portion of their hair may be used to anchor the rest at greater weights.

Members of the clan even have the inherent ability to elongate their hair well beyond its normal length. The speed of hair growth depends solely on the clan member's direction.

· Hair Style (かみがた, Kamigata): A unique fighting style utilized by Shoko clan members. The primary weapons of the clan members are their chakra-laced hair, which they can control like an extension of their own body.

Most clan members who focus on the Hair Style are capable of seamless transition between attacks, providing multiple combinations. Using the hair of one technique, they can form a second and further techniques of varying nature.

For example, the clan member can form a wall of hair to block an attack, then sprout long hairs from the wall to impale a target, and swiftly transition into a long tendril to provide added strength to the counterattack. The possible variations that can be formed out of the Hair Style are said to be endless.

· Hair Weapon (けへいき, Keheiki): A technique of the Hair Style, utilized by members of the Shoko clan. With little effort, a clan member can use Hair Weapon to form one or more weapons from their hair, wielding from their scalp or holding them in their hands.

These three techniques are enough to justify the sword being transformed, I would think. She forms the sword with Hair Weapon, and then manipulates its length with Hair Style. The elongation of the hair and the speed at which it elongates are covered in the Hair of Darkness. So I am not registering the abilities, so much as the sword as an object itself. I don't intend on having it do anything other than what I defined in the description.

Ah, so you just wanted a physical, in the holding sword made of hair, though you could make one on a whim and dont need to have a physical one always around >__________>
