I have never seen a sword made out of sake. But then again, neither have you. Because it's physically impossible. You can't argue with that kind of logic in Naruto.

I agree but i only said this to emphasize on fact that the sword isn't rigid like all other traditional ones, it's kind of more flexible and it's lot easier to change the way it swings since it's ethereal making it difficult to avoid the slashes. AsianReaper wrote:

A torch like that would still have its shape as you swung it around. So Idk what your argument there is. It might bend a little, but thats it. I have no idea why you would use the argument of me never seeing a sword made out of sake if you're just going to argue that it acts like a torch, not sake.

It doesn't change shape. Nothing in the material suggests that it changes shape. It cant suddenly change direction by itself, it's limited to Itachi's abilities as a swordsman. It is a sword. The most it'll do is what pretty much all techniques in Naruto do; get bigger or smaller. no, no by shape change i don't mean like become something altogether(like some sphere etc) i mean the thickness, perhaps the sword could become thicker or thinner during the swing action (and besides once it pierces something it sucks that thing like vacuum cleaner ).
