Users Mifune

Adhering to the principles of Iaidō, the user performs a quick and powerful slash with their sword in order to cut the intended target, before immediately resheathing the blade afterwards. When used by Mifune, the technique was strong enough to cleanly slice open the large head of Hanzō's salamander, Ibuse.

Trivia

• In Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, Mifune exclaims something similar to this technique's name when performing a differently named technique, which also has a different motion from this technique.
