Powers and Abilities

Chōjūrō is a sword user, and his skills are good enough to allow him to be recognized as one of the Seven Swordsman of the Mist by his village. He has also been hailed as an exceptional swordsman. The fact that he was also chosen to escort the Mizukage as well as is recognized as one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist is evidence that he is quite powerful despite of his meek demeanor. He wields a dual-handled sword called Hiramekarei, that is linked together at the handles by a chain.

When it is released from the bandages, it releases chakra that can be shaped into weapons such as an enormous hammer. He is shown to have enough strength to wield Hiramekarei in this form to send an opponent flying a considerable distance through a wall even if they have a strong defense, like Sasuke, who was using Susanoo's ribcage to defend himself. However, carrying the heavy sword for extended amounts of time does tire Chōjūrō out, similar to Suigetsu Hōzuki when wielding the beheading sword. Since the Mizukage chose him as a bodyguard shows that he is pretty strong ninja and one of the most elite in the village.
