Chakra Blade

This page is about weaponry built from special metals that absorb chakra. For other uses of Chakra Blade, see Chakra Blade (disambiguation). A is a weapon made from special metal that absorbs the user's chakra characteristics and exhibits power based on the user's technique. Asuma Sarutobi, Sora, and Shikamaru Nara use techniques that require the use of chakra blades like the Flying Swallow and Shadow Imitation Shuriken Technique. The White Light Chakra Sabre wielded by Sakumo, and later Kakashi Hatake, had the ability to absorb chakra and release a white streak of light whenever they swung it. Nowaki kept a large number of uniquely designed chakra blades that he used to channel his wind-natured chakra. These blades were able to create explosions on impact when hitting targets while infused with his Typhoon Release-chakra.

Katasuke Tōno of Konohagakure's Scientific Ninja Weapons Team invents a chakra blade that uses the wielder's chakra to generate a makeshift blade (but has the downside of draining too much chakra too quickly), and allows Boruto Uzumaki to handle a prototype.
