Oni taberu Hito

"During Eiji's time, there came many rumors and superstitions about that blade. During the winter in the Land of Iron, a steam rose off the blade, as if it were hot. They say that the blade was drenched in both evil and blood - that is why it steamed in the cold."

Oni taberu Hito (鬼食べる人, lit. English for "Demon Eater") was a katana wielded by rogue samurai, Isamu Eiji. It featured a black sheath and hilt. The hilt was slightly longer than was average and the weapon featured a circular gold tsuba.



Unlike typical katana, Oni taberu Hito's blade was serrated, like a saw. This added to the damage of slashing and thrusting attacks. In addition to this, the blade emanated a cold and menacing aura, leading many samurai to brand it as an evil blade. Their superstitions were not unfounded, however, as the blade demonstrated the ability to absorb chakra.

The blade was collected by Eiji's former student, Momoko Kotone, after defeating him during the Fourth Shinobi World War.
