Shakuhachi

The Shakuhachi is a flute made of hardwood and is utilized by the First Shimakage. It is said to have been forged by the gods, although it is just a myth. It is brown in color and has a few holes in order to emit different pitched notes. With different melodies, the user can manipulate the surrounding environment as well as manipulate fire, water, lightning, earth and wind with ease, even without the user having to have knowledge of the five natures. A unique feature of the flute is that, by performing a certain note, an endless stream of chakra can flow from the other end, making it similar to a sword.
