What happened to the Kusanagi?


Throughout the "Naruto" series, the Kusanagi Sword, originally wielded by Orochimaru, goes through various events and changes hands among different characters. Here are some key points regarding the fate of the Kusanagi Sword:


  1. Orochimaru's Ownership: Orochimaru initially possesses the Kusanagi Sword and wields it as his primary weapon. He uses it in battles and incorporates it into his fighting style.
  2. Sasuke's Acquisition: After a confrontation with Orochimaru, Sasuke Uchiha takes possession of the Kusanagi Sword. He uses it during his journey to gain power and seek revenge.
  3. Tobirama's Recovery: During the Fourth Great Ninja War, Tobirama Senju, one of the legendary Hokage, retrieves the Kusanagi Sword from Sasuke. Tobirama retrieves it to analyze Orochimaru's cursed seal, which is connected to the sword.
  4. Orochimaru's New Sword: Orochimaru later creates a new sword, known as the Sword of Kusanagi: Long Sword of the Sky, which he wields in battle. It is a weapon crafted from the remains of the legendary Kusanagi Sword.
  5. Mitsuki's Possession: Orochimaru's son, Mitsuki, inherits the Sword of Kusanagi: Long Sword of the Sky and utilizes it as his primary weapon in subsequent events.


These are the primary events surrounding the Kusanagi Sword in the "Naruto" series. It's important to note that additional developments may occur in the "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" series or subsequent materials that may alter the sword's ownership or status.
