Hiramekarei

is one of the mystical swords of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, that has been passed down from generation to generation amongst the group's members since the First Mizukage's era.

Appearance
Hiramekarei features a wide, flat blade with two curved indentations near its base, creating a sort of cross-guard. Two handles are connected to one another by a short length of cord, earning it the title of. The overall sword looks like a flounder fish in shape. When not in use, Hiramekarei is wrapped in bandages.

Abilities
Hiramekarei is capable of storing chakra. With the command, the stored chakra is emitted from the holes at the tip of the blade causing the bandages it is typically wrapped with to unravel. The chakra rapidly coats the sword and can be shaped into various weapons, such as a hammer or a long-sword. The more chakra that is stored in Hiramekarei, the larger the size of the manifested weapon. In the anime, Kagura Karatachi demonstrated that the stored chakra can also used to change Hiramekarei's physical shape, expanding the blade many times its original size.

It can also create a large amount of light blue, fish bone-like crystals that can inflict great damage and restrain the target's movements. Hiramekarei can also split into two swords, each with a single handle, and in the anime, the feature allows for two different individuals wielding it at once.
