Gentle Sword

The Gentle Sword is a unique fighting style created by Tanuma and Kagura Hyūga, and later passed down to their son and only child, Kagami Hyūga. It is a unique sword style that takes the traditional Gentle Fist of the Hyūga Clan and mixes it with the unique Kenjutsu practiced by the Samurai of the Land of Iron.

There are two known variants of this Fighting Style; both have their strengths and weaknesses, and both utilize unique Chakra Flow. The first variant combines the Gentle Fist with the Samurai Sabre Technique; channeling Chakra through their swords, extending the reach of the blade(s), and allowing the user to fire crescents of Chakra. However, unlike the traditional Samurai Sabre Technique, instead of damaging the outside of the body, this form does takes the properties of the Gentle Fist to do internal damage by changing the spiritual and physical energies of the Chakra used in the Samurai Sabre Technique, allowing the Chakra to "phase" through their opponents, leaving only Chakra burns as evidence, and attack the Chakra Pathway System, also causing damage to the muscles and internal organs that surround said system.

The second variant combines the Gentle Fist Arts such as Heavenly Spin and the Body Blow with Iaidō.
