Seven Swordsmen of the Mist

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist (Kiri no Shinobigatana Shichinin Shū) is an organisation consisting of only the greatest blade wielding shinobi of their generation that Kirigakure can produce. There can only be seven members at a time — hence the name. The swords of the Seven Swordsmen are passed down from generation to generation.

The Seven Blabes and Holders
Executioner's Blade (Literally meaning "Decapitating Carving Knife"): A giant sword with a butcher-knife-like appearance, the wielder can use the semi-circle on the blade to decapitate an opponent's head, hence the name.

How to obtain a blade
For members of the Hidden Mist the blades are obtainable by request. With that said the blade may be held and used by non-mist shinobi, though the methods become increasingly difficult. At any given point in time there may ONLY be seven members at a time. For a new member to join they must kill the current holder of the desired blade. Then and only then may the new member join. Though should they decide that the life of a dedicated member is not for them, they are allowed to hold the blade as a rouge member until it is taken from them.
