For more than a decade,Narutowas one of the most popular animeand manga series in the world, and it achieved this because it had a good story with great characters, but it also had entertaining battles. Most of these battles featured ninja who used ninjutsu, genjutsu, or taijutsu, and they were all effective, but there were quite a few ninja who also used ninja tools in battle.

Swords are arguably the most common ninja tool, and in the right hands, any sword can do a great deal of damage. Most of the swords in Naruto are standard blades that lack a unique name and ability, but there are a few swords that have both these things, and they happen to be the strongest blades in the series.
11 Kubikiribōchō Is An Enormous Executioner's Blade That Can Regenerate
Zabuza may have been outsmarted by Naruto in their first meeting, but he was still a powerful rogue ninja from the Hidden Mist Village, and he wielded one of the village's greatest swords.Kubikiribōchō looks like a massive butcher knife, but it has a circle close to the top and a semi-circle near its handle.
This broadsword is designed to decapitate enemies, and it has the unique ability to reform itself if it is ever broken. This happens when the blade absorbs the iron within its victims' blood.
10 Nuibari Is A Thin Sword That Can Pierce Enemies & Stich Them Together
A lot of things happened during the Fourth Great Ninja War, including the resurrection of the strongest generation of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, and most of them were able to use their prized swords.Nuibari was one of those swords, and it is an extremely thin longsword with thin wire wrapped around its hilt, which gives it the appearance of a sewing needle.

This sword is capable of piercing through multiple objects and stitching them together, and this ability was on full display during the war when its previous wielder used it to take down several groups of ninja at once.
9 Kabutowari Is Said To Be Able To Break Through Any Defense
Kabutowari was another one of the Mist Village's prized swords, even though it was technically a giant ax that was connected to an equally large hammer by aflat, thin, leather-like rope. During the Fourth Great Ninja War, it was wielded byJinin Akebino, and he used it to bulldoze through the Allied Shinobi Forces.
The rope allows the ax and hammer to be used individually, but the true power of this sword can only be realized when both weapons are used together. If the wielder uses the ax and then slams the hammer onto the ax's blunt backside, it can break through any defense.
8 Shibuki Combines Swordsmanship With Explosives
The Hidden Mist Villagecame up with very elaborate sword designs, and theShibuki is yet another example of the village's ingenuity. This sword incorporated the user's swordsmanship with explosions, which is why it was also known as the "Blastsword."
The sword had two distinct sides, one of which possesses a thin cutting edge, but the other side containeda massive scroll filled with explosive tags. Whenever the user clashes with someone, these tags detach from the rest of the blade and explode, and the sword automatically reloads with a new set of tags.
7 TheShichiseiken Can Sever A Person's Soul
The Gold and Silver Brothers were two of the strongest villains to appear during the Fourth Great Ninja War, and when they appeared on the battlefield, they brought ninja tools that were used by the Sage of Six Paths himself. One of those tools was theShichiseiken, which required an enormous amount of chakra to use.
This flat sword was capable of severing a person's soul so it could be trapped within another one of the Sage's tools. This is a powerful ability, but it can only be used in tandem with theKōkinjō rope andBenihisago gourd.
6 Hiramekarei Can Store The User's Chakra & Release It In Various Forms
Hiramekarei was wielded byChōjūrō, and during the war, he used it to take out Black Zetsu, but he also used it on Sasuke during the Five Kage Summit.Hiramekarei is a very wide and flat blade with two handles, and when it is unsheathed, it looks somewhat like a flounder.

5 The Kusanagi Blade Can Extend Over Long Distances & Be Controlled Telekinetically
The fight between Orochimaru and the 3rd Hokage may have not featured Naruto, but it was still a good fight, and it gave fans their first glimpse of the Kusanagi Blade. This sword is capable of quickly extending and retracting over long distances, and Orochimaru used this against Naruto when he was in his Four-Tails form.

These twin swords were slim, had double-edged blades, and they each had curved blades at the top and bottom portions which allowed the user to inflict more damaging wounds.
These swords are both imbued with lightning, which significantly increases their cutting power to the point that they are regarded as the sharpest swords in existence. They can also be used to amplify the user's Lightning Release techniques.
3 Samehada Can Shred & Absorb Large Quantities Of Chakra
One of the best Akatsuki fights pitted Kisame against Killer B, and it was during this battle that fans got to see Samehada's true form. Of all the Seven Swordsmen blades, Samehada is considered to be the most terrifying, and that is because it is a living sword that feeds on chakra.
Samehada can absorb enormous amounts of chakra, as it is capable of absorbing a Tailed-Beast Ball. The sword shares a symbiotic relationship with its owner, to the point that it can even fuse with them. Samehada is also covered in sharp scales that shred anything it comes into contact with.
2 TheTotsuka Blade Can Trap Anyone Inside A Genjutsu World For Eternity
Orochimaru searched for the Totsuka Blade for years, which is why he was so surprised to see it in Itachi's possession. This legendary longsword is a variant of the Kusanagi Blade, but it is far more powerful, as anyone stabbed by it will immediately be sealed in a genjutsu-type dream world for all eternity.

Several people were responsible for Obito's downfall, and near the end of the Fourth Great Ninja War, he accelerated his plan by becoming the Ten-Tails'Jinchūriki. This act gave him the power of Sage of Six Paths, which gave him access to truth-seeking orbs, and these orbs allowed him to create the Sword of Nunoboko.
This sword is a holy relic that was used byHagoromo Ōtsutsuki, and he used it to shape the world. This sword is capable of destroying anything, as evidenced by the fact that it cut through Sasuke's Susanoo like butter, and it is said that it can even destroy the world that it helped create.
