Name of Weapon or Item: Suraikou
Owner: Akegata
Location: Hip
Rank: A
Description/Abilities:Suraikou is avery niffty blade and one that Akegata quite enjoys having in his arsenal. It is a normal katan at first look, a thin silver blade with a square wrist gaurd and a black hilt. The blade does curve slightly toward its end. The blade is receptive to chakra and activates as soon as it is drawn, instantly draining a B ranks worth of chakra and continuing draining a B ranks worth of charka every 3 posts to remain active. This happens instantly unless the user is out of chakra. When it is activated, ble electricity will cackle all around the blade in various places, particularly the blade edge. and the back. The electricity acts as several small saw blades that make its cutting power a lot more effective. It is capable of cutting through all but S rank weapons and armors when activated. Also the back edge which is normally blunt, due to the electric current, is now capable of cutting as well. When the sword makes a cut, it will effectively numb the area first due to the electric field produced by the current on the blade. The numbness will only last for a post before and then the pain will set in, as it also leaves slight burns on the flesh where it sliced through. Additionally, by adding an A ranks worth of chakra into the blade, for just one post the current will increase drastically around the blade, completely enveloping the sword, and it will paralyze what ever limb it hits in a direction away from the heart. Meaning if it hits the elbow, it will only paralyze the elbow, wrist, and fingers, not the shoulder blade.
History: This sword was given to Akegata by Riku as a sign of his completeion of training in the lightning element. He was shocked to find that it was more powerful than any ninjutsu technique he could use with the element, which Riku explained away as his life training of using chakra with the sword, making it much easier to utilize techniques in this way. It is one of his prized possessions and one of his preffered weapons to use in battle.

Name of Weapon or Item:Kyanseru
Owner: Akegata
Location:Hip
Rank:B
Description/Abilities:Akegata's blade is a very peculiar make. It is unlike most others in numerous ways and is in fact fashioned to fit his fighting style perfectly. Each key part of Kyanseru means something specific and to go with out notice in most cases would be a lethal oversight. They provide subtle extremities that other swords do not have and even in simple sparring matches, can lead to making a world of difference to an end unparalleled by most other blades. Also it is charka conductive and can be used for enhanced kenjutsu.
Color - The blade of Kyanseru is colored all black, rather then having a silver blade. This emulates the teachings of shadow and going unseen. It does not glimmer and give off light. While this does eliminate the advantage of being able to potentially blind the opponent, it can be used to better use in dimly lit circumstances.
Size and Shape - The shape of the blade provides several advantages. For starters, it limits the ways the blade can cut in which manners. This creates a simplified design for specific purpose, which means that each strike must mean something. This aids in honing ones ability as a swordsman. Also as it is double bladed, meaning it has a blade on both sides and not just one, the range of a cut can be extended and faster offensive maneuvers can be made. It is also thinner then other swords, which allows for better penetration upon flesh. It is also thin enough that it can slip between a pair of ribs with no problem what so ever. Finally it is extremely dense and made of several components, too many to name. It is said to be an unbreakable blade.
Sweeping Strikes
These types of attack from this blade are extremely fast, and the fastest of all the basic maneuvers capable of a sword. However, as it is a large coverage area type attack, takes longer to complete, and is easiest to block. It also does not cut very deep with this strike, and is used for quick shallow wounds instead, used to slowly wear the opponent down.
Stabbing Strikes
These attacks are slower but in all actuality are harder to block because it makes the blade a much smaller target and is more focused. This is also the most lethal of the two strikes. That is because it creates more force and is capable of buring deep into the human body and creating much more internal damage.
Notch - It can be noted that in the center of this sword is an empty slot of nothing but air put into the design. The use of this is very simple and very beneficial. The notch is just big enough to allow the point of a sword of like weapon to pass through, but not wide enough that the whole thing can pass through and hurt him. This is an effective blocking technique in that it gives Faust some control over the opponents weapon by applying opposite force that is more difficult to counteract then the typical block from a sword. This is because it can effectively trap the blade and applys force from two sides and not just one, leaving the only really way to escape the turn of control by backing away and straight back.
Grip/Handle[ - The grip of this sword is very peculiar in that it is actually larger and different shaped. Normally being bigger would make it harder to hold. However, the grip is designed in several rings which allow the fingers better traction and thus better control over it. This allows for great acrobatic displays in swordsmanship and quicker reactions.
History:This is a sword that Akegata had crafted to fit his fighting style after he had become a missing ninja and before joining the akatsuki. He wanted something that was a bit of a trademark as far as weapons go. He used it in nearly all of his battles for the final blow, or to end the suffering life of an already fallen but not yet dead enemy. Its name, Kyanseru, otherwise known as cancel, is widespread known for its reputation of being the blade to end life and cancel out suffering and wickedness.

Name of Weapon or Item: Jiki
Owner: Akegata
Location:Hip
Rank: A
Description/Abilities:Though the sword is of potent level, its abilities are realy rather simple. It takes an A rank to activate the effect for 7 posts and then all that is needed is to land a cut on someone with the sword to deliver the ability. When the chakra is supplied it will secrete a chemical along the edge of the blade that when entered into the blood stream will target the brain and force it to release the hormones responsible for the emotions of fear, sadness, and despair. This does an effective job of breaking the opponents will to fight and makes them much less capable of handling themselves in battle properly, greatly reducing their effectiveness and willingness to continue battle. The effects will last for 4 posts after being cut.
History:At his own request, this sword was crafted and given to Akegata as a rite of passage at the age of 14 or 15, close to the end of his days as a samurai. It was a gratuity for his exceptional service to their ranks and given notice to his title as an official one and not just a rumor or street name. This sealed his fate as the Azure Moon.
