Besides, they're locked up for a reason, aren't they? Clearly the Mist learned from the mistake of having the swordsmen wield them freely. Which is also why they're moving now, Chojuro entrusted kagura with a proper powerful sword, so they likely needed his help to obtain the others.

Why else move only now, since Kagura clearly has been broken inside for years.
