Revision as of 10:56, 2 November 2013

The Sword of Nunoboko is a large, double-helix shaped sword, formed from the malleable chakra of the Ten-Tails and originally wielded by Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki.

According to Obito Uchiha, the sword is a holy artefact which Hagoromo had used to shape the world, and the blade was powerful enough to just as easily destroy it by his own hands.[1]

The sword was partially destroyed by Sasuke Uchiha's Susanoo Sword while enhanced by senjutsu and Nine-Tails chakra.[2]
