Tsuyunoinochi

Tsuyunoinochi (露の命,Tsuyunoinochi; "Literally Meaning; life as evanescent as the dew ") is an ancient sword belonging to Dan's ancestor who passed down his sacred blood. It was often attributed as a treasure of Konohagakure alongside other sacred weapons. Its history is rich with blood and battle. One tale speaks of his forefather besting Lord Second. Similar to Mokomoko-sama, and his Tamashī no Nenju, Dan's forefather crafted Tsuyunoinochi from the great Wolf Demon's Fang. After conjuring an Inugami and forming a blood contract, the fang became a sword of immense spiritual power. A level that has allowed it to be compared to the Shinigami Mask of the Uzumaki Clan. It contains sapience when a chosen wielder has made his presence. In its sealed form, Tsuyunoinochi shivers in presence of powerful unholy intention. Dan feels when powerful energies cross boundaries or intend something horrible. It also alerts him when his closest connections; Yami, Senken and Konmei, are in danger. Tsuyunoinochi exist in two states; sealed and unsealed. Sealed, Tsuyunoinochi resembles a normal katana with a crimson and golden sheath. It's guard circular with a unique wolf design. He is able to telepathically communicate with Tsuyunoinochi, the Inugami which possesses his blade. When using his abilities, Tsuyunoinochi prefers to speak rather than appear physically.

Tsuyunoinochi's overall ability stems from what lies inside. It is a sword said to have the ability to summon Inugami, Dog Gods capable of utilizing powerful black magic. And those who hold said sword is able to command them as if their magic was his. Inugami are gods capable of using Black Magic for a variety of purposes. Tsuyunoinochi first and greatest power is its ability to restore the life of recently deceased; however, it requires a relatively-intact body to work completely. Also, Tsuyunoinochi does not heal or restore lost body parts. Meaning any damage sustained at time of death is continued. Restoring the dead, He is unable to restore dead whose bodies lack the essential organs to sustain life. Also ones soul must remain either on earth or in the next realm. The amount of people Dan is able to revive at once has yet to show a true limit, once reviving his entire squad. As a sword of immense spiritual power, Tsuyunoinochi is a sword used to slay undead and spirits, a feat that allowed his forefather to prove a harmful threat, yet, powerful ally to Tobirama Senju. A master of Tsuyunoinochi is said to be able to cut the Shinigami's arm, stopping his deadly seal in its process. Spirits are banished on his Inugami's will. Tsuyunoinochi has a sense of when one summons the Shinigami. Those summoned as undead or ghouls are banished back to their world. Tsuyunoinochi can inflict permanent wounds against stronger resurrection techniques while instantly destroying those that are weak. A side effect of his sword is an ability to purify souls of their sins as well as release those bounded to this realm so they can either into the pure realm or continue their cycle. This is done usually by a command, followed by his Inugami emerging behind him and becoming visible to his target. Tsuyunoinochi can curse those it kills into serving eternity as a spirit wolf, awaiting for their masters call. Dan absorbs these wolves to power up further. Tsuyunoinochi erects a barrier around its master that protects them from spiritual attacks.



Dan has released Tsuyunoinochi in times of utter importance, often when his dogs are in danger. When released, Tsuyunoinochi turns into an over-sized dog's fang, fitting for Dan's theme. The cross guard becomes a large patch of fur similar to Mokomoko-sama. In its released form, an Inugami becomes visible to all connected to Dan. Carrying out his every will. He is able to revive a larger amount of people, as well as summon ghouls and undead to fight for him. Tsuyunoinochi also summons wolves to consume his enemies. It is said that these wolves are actually Okuri-inu. When released, these wolves follow his every order, thanks to his Beads of Soul, of course. They are incredibly fast and can morph through physical matter. Their teeth and claws are sharp enough to rip humans to pieces in a matter of seconds. They are said to be so ferocious that no other dangerous yokai or wild animals will come close when summoned. His Okuri-inu only harm those who hold a negative intention to Dan and those he wishes to protect. Spirits who are cut down by his sword are transformed into spirit wolves to live out their eternity at his command. Absorbing his spirit wolves into his sword and channeling it, Dan is able to use a one-time attack which reverts his blade back into its sealed form. The attack is said to be able to create a gigantic wolf spirit that consumes all in its path. Sealing it within Tsuyunoinochi, increasing its power for future use. Dan furthers his mastery by allowing his Inugami to possess his body. Doing so allows his Inugami to sense any foreign influences or anything wrong with his body. It also forms as a defense against techniques which possess his body. Inugami are able to fend off other spiritual demons and beings. With his presence, Dan can fend off the Shinigami. The scabbard of Tsuyunoinochi, like its blade, is able to erect a barrier.
