Seven Ninja Swordsmen of The Mist: Jinin Akebino

Jinin Akebino was a jōnin from Kirigakure, and a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Background

Jinin became a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and acquired the Kabutowari. During a confrontation with a team from Konoha, Jinin and the other swordsmen found themselves in a difficult situation. However, they were rescued by Might Duy, who sacrificed himself to ensure their escape. In the anime, it is shown that Jinin was killed as a result of Duy's heroic act.

Personality

Jinin was regarded as a heroic individual during his lifetime. He displayed great confidence in his sword, the Kabutowari, which he believed had unparalleled offensive power and considered futile for anyone to attempt blocking it. Additionally, he seemed to take pleasure in killing his enemies, much like his fellow members of the swordsmen team.

Abilities

Jinin, a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, was among the strongest shinobi from Kirigakure. His generation of swordsmen was renowned as the most formidable in the village's past. Jinin displayed proficiency in Silent Killing, which was evident when he engaged in combat with the Third Division of the Allied Shinobi Forces while influenced by Zabuza Momochi's Hiding in Mist Technique.

Kenjutsu

Jinin demonstrated exceptional skill in wielding Kabutowari, a unique sword consisting of an axe and a hammer connected by a strap. This weapon was known for its ability to break through any defense. Jinin showed ambidexterity in utilizing both the axe and the hammer, employing the axe as a wedge to strike first and then using the hammer to penetrate the remaining obstacle. He displayed great speed, allowing him to fully exploit the individual capabilities of both weapons. In the anime, Jinin showcased the hammer's power by creating a strong shock-wave when slamming it into the ground. However, his aggressive style and the offensive nature of Kabutowari made him vulnerable defensively, creating openings that could be exploited by fast opponents.
