Kenjutsu

Kenjutsu (剣術; Literally meaning "Sword Technique") pertains to techniques that entail the use of a sword, swords, or any such bladed weapons, (including Kunai,) whenever the users be Shinobi or Samurai. Kenjutsu can be used in combination with Taijutsu, Ninjutsu and/or Chakra Flow in order to achieve more devastating techniques.

The entire military might of the lone Samurai nation of the Land of Iron, have so-far all been depicted as practitioners of Kenjutsu. Among the Shinobi nations, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are particularly well known as Kenjutsu practitioners. Also, a majority of Kumogakure shinobi are swordsmen.
