Eperanboukaze- The Rapier of The Violent Wind

name: Eperanboukaze- The Rapier of The Violent Wind or The Epe (for short)
type: Supplementary Offensive/Defensive
looks:
The Epekurokaze is made of a special lightweight silver-steel based alloy. The blade is about 36 1/2" and it is 44" overall with the hilt. The wire wrapped grip is surrounded by twisted steel. Just before the hilt is the symbol of the Village Hidden in the Craftsmen.The sheathe is made of a special alloy that is 3 times stronger then steel, it is known as the Demon Bone.

special abilities: The Epekurokaze has the ability to disrupt and change wind currents with a single slash, it can also be used to increase the power of many wind based jutsu. The Epekurokaze acts as an almost perfect defense against Wind-based attacks at both close and mid-range. The Epekurokaze abilities can only be used by a wind elemental user regardless of level. Wind jutsu can be used through Epe, jutsu like Wind Blade and Wind Pressure Damage, with out hand seals.

The Epe can make quick work of steel and solid stone without using its ability. The Epekurokaze's cutting ability is amazing as it is able to cut something, at close range, to Ribbons with a single slash. The Epekurokaze can also peirce just about any solid-defense. Also because the Epe is almost virtually weightless it does not slow a person down.
origin: The Epekurokaze was created by Shikataru himself, as a backup weapon for his Legendary Yamato sword, with the help of the Village Hidden in the Craftsmen. It took 3 months to Create the Epe through trial and error. The Epekurokaze is a symbol to show that the Village Hidden in the Craftsmen is on Shikataru's side and they act as his main weapons manufature (as such just before the hilt is the symbol of the Village), they are paid quite handsomey by Shikataru to create weapons for him. The Epekurokaze was valued at over 200,000 Ryo. Shikataru paid 300,000 Ryo as a sign of good will for future ventures.
