Well, there's some truth in these words, since the prowess of Shizuma and ko in wielding the seven swords can be really a questionable matter. I mean, each sword is a highly specialised weapon which certaily requires a regular practice to master it properly (like Kagura himself intended to do). I have no doubts about the general swordsmanship skills of Shizuma's team, but they didn't strike me as a type of guys who would be allowed to take these swords from the storage, let alone for the regular training, so the storage robbery can be very well be the first time that each of them gets these swords in their hands.

P. S. It seems that we're gonna see if Chojuro is worth anything as Mizukage without his sword.
