View form History Talk Do you like this video? Play Sound. This is the article on the sword wielded by Orochimaru. For other uses, see Sword of Kusanagi. Trivia The Kusanagi appears differently from the manga to the anime.

In the manga, the Kusanagi looks more like a standard katana with a circular hand-guard, while in the anime it is a double-edged jian. Due to the name of the sword, its appearance in the anime would have been more true to its counterpart, as a ' tsurugi ' is a double-edged sword.

The Totsuka Sword wielded by Itachi Uchiha 's Susanoo is also said to be a "Sword of Kusanagi", although this has been commonly mistranslated as it being the " perfect counter " to the Sword of Kusanagi.

The heroic tale featuring the Sword of Totsuka starts with Susanoo's banishment from heaven for killing one of Amaterasu's attendants. As Susanoo sought refuge in the Izumo Providence, he met an elderly man who asked him to save his last remaining daughter, Kushinada-hime.

His other seven daughters had been consumed by the great snake Yamata no Orochi or the " Eight-Branched Serpent " who planned to return to finish the eighth. Susanoo agreed to assist the family in exchange for the remaining daughter's hand in marriage.

Then he placed large amounts of sake at the gates of each of the gods. When the serpent came through the gates looking for Kushinada, it drank the sake and become intoxicated. Taking advantage of its inebriated state, Susanoo used the Sword of Totsuka to cut off each of the great snake's eight heads. In one of the serpents' heads was the Kusanagi Blade, which he offered to Amaterasu as a reconciliation present. This legend also holds very similar details to Itachi's final battle with Sasuke in Naruto when he fought against Orochimaru's Eight Branches Technique.
