The world of Naruto has incredibly powerful characters including many ninjas who base their entire fight on the use of Jutsu. However, some characters rely on kenjutsu, also known as swordsmanship. These characters are extremely skilled, capable of cutting almost anything with their blades. To further improve their swordsmanship, they usually use other Jutsu in addition to their swordsmanship. ⚔
Although rare, they are a force to be reckoned with, and with their swordsmanship, some of them have reached incredible heights in history.
Do you want to know who is the most powerful swordsman? Who once shone thanks to the use of his blade? Discover without further delay our top 10 swordsmen in the world of ninjas! 👇🏻
10 Zabuza Momochi
Zabuza, one of the very first villains of the Naruto series, is a powerful ninja who was part of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist and he wielded the famous Kubikiribocho.🗡 It is a giant sword strongly resembling a gigantic butcher knife. The hole created in the sword allows the user to grab the enemy's head and decapitate them. His swordsmanship was excellent and even surprised Kakashi Hatake, a true Jonin who possesses the powerful sharingan.
Zabuza could easily keep up with most enemies and his fierce swordplay earned him the nickname "Fog Demon". He is undoubtedly one of the greatest blade users in Naruto.
9 Darui
Darui was a Jonin of Kumo during the Fourth Great Ninja War and became the village's fifth Raikage, following Ay the fourth. In terms of swordsmanship, Darui is extremely skilled, as seen when he clashed with opponents like Kinkaku and Ginkaku.😈
Usually, Darui wields a broad and fairly long sword which has the particularity of folding in two to be stored and being unfolded when Darui needs it. Although he does not wield a named blade, his skill with a sword is good enough to keep up to some extent with Kinshiki Otsutsuki, which is extremely impressive.
8 Kakashi Hatake
Konoha's copycat ninja , Kakashi Hatake is a complete fighter and, as expected, his mastery of kenjutsu is also astonishing. As a child, Kakashi used to wield a short sword, called the White Chakra Saber, which belonged to Sakumo Hatake. 🐺
As he grew older, Kakashi's skills with swords improved further and during the Fourth Great Ninja War , he was able to wield the Kubikiribocho without the slightest problem.
7 Kisame Hoshigaki
Kisame was a member of the Seven Mist Swordsmen, so he was expected to be proficient with at least one of them. He was seen wielding the powerful Samehada for most of the series. His sword allows him to steal chakra from his enemies, the more Kisame fights against a powerful enemy, the more powerful he himself becomes. 🦈
Kisame was one of the strongest members of Akatsuki and much of that was due to his swordsmanship . He was capable of fighting elite Jonin like Might Guy, proving that he had excellent swordsmanship.
6 Mangetsu Hozuki
Widely known for being one of the strongest among the Seven Mist Swordsmen , Mangetsu was Suigetsu's older brother. 🧑🏻 His skills with swords were known to be enormous and in his life, he managed to master all seven swords present in his village.
Mangetsu primarily wielded the Hiramekarei, but he was just as good with others. Being a famous shinobi, Mangetsu was certainly among the best in history .
5 Chojurō
Chojuro is the sixth Mizukage of Kiri and a powerful shinobi quite underestimated by other ninjas and the community. Like many other shinobi of Kiri, Chojuro was trained in swordsmanship from a young age, and he mastered the Hiramekarei , a sword believed to be the most powerful of the Fog Seven.
As an adult, Chojuro is powerful enough to fight against characters like Kinshiki Otsutsuki, something very few characters can do, and all thanks to his kenjutsu skills. 🐱👤

Orochimaru is one of Naruto's legendary Sannin , and like Kakashi, he is a ninja who excels at everything. 🐍 From swordsmanship to ninjutsu, Orochimaru is a master of all arts. He is one of the few characters to wield the legendary Kusanagi blade. Even Enma feared this blade, even though he said he had a body stronger than diamond. He searched for Totsuka's sword for a long time but in vain, because this blade had no material form and it was Itachi Uchiha who held it.
By the time of Boruto, Orochimaru seems to have further improved his skills, as can be seen when he fought Log. It goes without saying that he is one of the best in the Naruto series.
2 Killer Bee
The Jinchūriki of the Eight-Tailed Demon, Killer Bee is a formidable swordsman who could use eight blades at once in combat and overwhelm a Sharingan user with ease. Its blades are often powered by lightning-style chakras to increase their sharpness and they could even damage the Kubikiribocho. 🔪
Additionally, Killer Bee could master two of the legendary Seven Mist Swords on the spot, which clearly shows his talent. Samehada , Kisame's sword, will fall in love with his chakra and decide to become his new weapon. She can absorb her opponent's chakra and can give it back to B.
