 * Users: Sakumo Hatake, Kakashi Hatake, Root, Sai, Sakura Haruno, Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, several ninja
 * Description: A Tantō is simply a small Katana. Several Chūnin have carried tantō on the rear of the waist, although it is rarely used. The version Root uses are double-edged and has no tip, meant only for cutting. They carry the tantō vertically on the back, behind the shoulder. The Hatake family carried a special tantō, known as the White Light Chakra Sabre, until it was destroyed.
