Why Hidden Leaf don't use Swords?

[DarsanUchiha]

Don’t forget Orochimaru. He’s extremely skilled with a sword

[xavierdaniels]

Yeah leaf don't use swords...except the fact that every single anbu member has one

[geescar]

Orochimaru was the one who taught kenjutsu to Sasuke and no mention to him, really?

“Why hidden leaf don’t use swords….”

*PROCEEDS TO SHOW SEVERAL HIDDEN LEAF SWORDSMEN*

Gekko had a sword, and it was mentioned that he learned his techniques from another Leaf shinobi. There are sword users in Konoha, they just don’t get much of a spotlight and stay as background characters

A bunch of Ninja in the leaf used swords.
Thou not prominently seen in the storyline. The leaf was also know for their ability with kuni.

[KingAbdulhaqq]

Sasuke is the greatest kenjutsu user ever but got killed 3 times by a dude fighting with 8 swords at once 😅

[Animefanboy]

Sasuke still manages to keep up with his sword even with one hand 😅😅

It doesn't really seem like there is a reason why Konoha doesn't use swords imo. Seems like it had been more of an Uchiha affinity to begin with seeing as the filler that showed Sasuke in the Uchiha police force showed Uchiha police naturally carrying swords as a weapon. It even makes sense for them to be efficient with swords since their Sharingan would help out a lot with precision in battle.

I like to believe that the Anbu are specially trained in every field to some degree, which explains their usage of swords.

And in the pre-founders era they probably used swords to conserve chakra since techniques back then would have been less optimized for chakra conservation. Fights between the Uchiha and Senju often lasted hours, if not a whole day, so utilizing weapons over ninjutsu makes sense, especially considering the Uchiha clan having less chakra than the Senju did in general. Plus, they were more like samurai than ninja in that era, so the sword wielding looked and felt more normal for their styles of battle back then. Even when Madara got his fan he still dual wielded a sword in some scenes. Uchiha just seem to like swords.

Orochimaru was one of the greatest swordsman ever and with his sword he was absolute incredible

In a episode of Boruto he fought with a sword and it was stunning

[Icarus]

Because the leaf only believed in throwing hands instead of metal

[mauricemorrison]

Killer Bee entered the chat: Who's the Master?!?

[austinaxley]

There's a hidden leaf style of swordsmanship, orochimaru says so as he kills the redshirt using a sword during the chunin exams.

[ediwow]

Sasuke the greatest kenjutsu user.
Bee: 😂😂😂
