Uchiha Sasuke's sword made its debut on the popular Naruto manga chapter 308 and the sheet name was the subject of debate among fans around the world highly. In the chapter entitled "The Power of Sasuke" taichou Yamato tried to stop Uchiha Sasuke's sword with his kunai but failed. Instead his kunai was cut in two by Sasuke's sword. Sasuke later quoted "You see, the sword of Kusanagi I have here is a bit special.'s The guy who can not be blocked." This caused some confusion because readers who have followed the manga from the beginning we know that Orochimaru also had a Kusanagi sword when he fought with the 3rd Hokage, the only difference is Orochimaru's Kusanagi looked more like a katana.
Sasuke Kusanagi Sword is a chokuto is a Japanese sword straight. The design of the chokuto was originally from China and Korea. Which developed before the Japanese blacksmiths discovered differential heat treatment which later gave birth to the best martial arts weapon ever - the Japanese katana. The chokuto is easily distinguishable by its straight blade which is a rare feature in most Japanese swords in those days.
The Kusanagi or popularly known as Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi (Sword of Kusanagi) actually originated from a Japanese myth. Legend has it that the Japanese god Susa-no-or Ashinazuchi met with the head of a family with eight daughters. Ashinazuchi previously lost seven of his daughters, eaten by a huge serpent called Yamata eight-headed-no-Orochi. The snake was back to the party in his last daughter Kushinade-hime. The desperate Ashinazuchi called Susa-no-or to save her daughter that the Japanese God agreed, in exchange for Kushinade-hime's hand in marriage.
Susa-no-o devised a plan and instructions to prepare eight vats Ashinazuchi love, each placed separately behind a wall with eight gates. The giant serpent came and took the bait, sliding each of its eight heads through each gate. In one instance, Susa-no-o emerged and severed all eight heads before returning to the tails of the snake. Susa-no-o later found a sword on the dead body of Yamata no Orochi, who named Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi or "Sword of the clouds of heaven." He then presented the sword to the goddess Amaterasu to settle an old grievance. The name of the sword was later changed to Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi.
In the manga Naruto, Orochimaru Kusanagi sword called the mouth of a snake (serpent's head protruding from Orochimaru's mouth). Orochimaru's character, who is an expert in snake jutsu is drawn from the serpent Yamata-no-Orochi. Chapter 392, was released Orochimaru Sasuke control and use his Hydra technique to reappear as an eight-headed giant serpent. But unlike the story in myth, Susa-no is the name of Uchiha Itachi final jutsu used in conjunction with the Sword of Totsuka to seal Orochimaru in an illusion genjutsu for all eternity. The jutsu Susa-no took the form of a giant spirit with a sharp nose, sharp teeth and three hands - one with a shield, one with a container and the remaining hand wielding the sword of Totsuka when released from the container.
