Bōkyaku (Tool)

Bōkyaku is classified as an enormous broadsword. From tip to handle, it is approximately five to six feet long, with a single-edged, enormous blade approximately one foot wide. It sports a bolted steel-esque base and blade, and there are five holes on the blade near the hilt on the edge that curves into the main portion of the sword.

While wielding Bōkyaku, Gaiaku's physical abilities are greatly amplified; he's able to slice through physical objects as though they were paper and his agility is greatly improved to the point that he can dart through a storm of arrows unscathed, and by channeling chakra into it, is capable of forming a defensive ward to guard him from attacks, be they augmented to strike him alone or the area surrounding him. The only downside is that his physical attributes revert to their original state the moment Gaiaku releases Bōkyaku from his grip; this coupled with the fact he must wield it in a hand leaves him in a handicapped state. He can however protrude out an arm from his body via the Asura Path to wield the blade in one of his arms' stead to minimize the handicapping-flaw of the weapon.
