 * Kubikiribōchō: I could understand Kakashi would give it back after the war.
 * Samehada: Killer B had the sword. It's kinda strange he would randomly give it back after all that time.
 * Kiba: Ameyuri (the original owner of the sword) gave it to Omoi during the war and Omoi accepted them. I dunno how they are going to justify this but I can't see many situations where Ameyuri wouldn't turn arround in his grave. Does this means that Kiba died...

Also [spoiler alert], Hiramekarei also was used by Chōjūrō during the naruto move. So are they going to change it in the anime. Or it that a spoiler that Hiramekarei goes back to Chōjūrō again. Yes because having a sword is far better than having a political friendship with a former war comrade. /sarcasm

Unlike the Six Paths' tools, which were Hagoromo's initially so Kumo can't technically claim ownership, the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist are Kiri artefacts that have been in the village since the reign of the 1st Mizukage. They're super important historical relics.

The only baffling thing about the swords is that Kiri did not claim back Kubikiribocho after Zabuza's death. Other than that, Kiri were after Kisame who took Samehada when abandoning the village, and the other four swords were missing (and considering that Kabuto had them, Orochimaru must've collected them without Kiri's knowledge)

Kagura is just training with the sword. Chojuro lent it to him to practice for the exam. It's still technically Chojuro's.
