Type: Rapier

Rank: C-A

Quantity: 1.

Description: An antique rapier with an intricate handguard that allows for ambidextrous use. This weapon has a 37" blade that has stood the test of time, although it's hardly in the shape it used to be. Even so, it can still cut and pierce flesh with no issue. The sword itself weighs just over 2lbs and is balanced comfortably just below the crossguard assembly, making it feel practically weightless in hand. It's scabbard is blackened leather wrapped around a wooden core and capped at both ends with antique blackened steel. Even though the sword is well worn it can still stand on par with standard weaponry, and with enough money it may be possible to eventually restore it to it's former glory.

Abilities: N/A

B-Rank: Durability of an average B-Rank (folded steel) weapon able to cut wood with ease and pierce stone with a little bit of effort. Partially restored blade.

History: St. Marie, a name passed down through generations of Roth pirate hunters and swordsmen alike, and original owner of the Singing Sword. Marie Roth lived in the era just after the 10 year hurricane and was one of the first in the family to train in the shinobi arts, although she forsook her duties as a shinobi to spend her life wandering the seas of Hurricane Country, making a name for herself as one of the best pirate hunters in Shippuugakure's history. The singing sword was her means of expressing the art and passion of combat, as well as utilizing genjutsu through a custom fighting style that the blade was named for. Eventually the Wings of Marie, her ship, disappeared. Some thought she had finally lost to those she hunted while others cursed the powerful weather of the land. The truth was the latter, her ship was torn in half by a monstrous water spout and sent to the depths. Her blade was lost to time until a team of scavengers found the ship in a reef, from there it exchanged hands multiple times with no one knowing it's true worth until the smuggling vessel that was carrying it crashed in Shipwreck Cove. This vessel was then investigated by a young Roth (Thaddeus) where he found the blade tucked away in the cargo hold. Of course the blade was hardly in any shape for combat, so Thaddeus kept is as a decorative antique until he could afford the necessary restoration fees.

Random word filler for bump.

Add a bit about the maintained chakra cost for keeping the sword's vibrations active. Also- are you planning to start with this weapon at C Rank?

Added in a section about maintaining a hum while not charging a genjutsu. I did plan on starting it as a C-Rank, if that's an issue I can change things around.

Having a weapon that provides genjutsu on hit is OP, omit the section about adding the genjutsu: any genjutsu you use in this sor tof sense will require the jutsu needing a weapon such as this for the technique.

Have the maintenance upkeep increased to 10 chakra per post(Up from 5)

Ahh, well I'll be overhauling it to something more basic then. Aside from that what I meant wasn't to deliver genjutsu on hit, I was referring to the numbness side effect. The genjutsu would have been delivered through the sound of the hum. Originally I never planned on it having an upkeep ability, it would only hum when charging for a jutsu, instead of making hand seals. That hum would then allow the jutsu to be activated audibly from the hum if that particular genjutsu could previously be cast audibly. Anywho I'll just turn this into a normal Rapier and work on turning the humming into a Ken-Gen passive to be trained or something.

Initial price shall be : 150,000 Ryo and 60,000 ryo per restoration for the weapon.
