Challenges
Six of the Seven Swords Rules
All but Samehada challenges can be decided to be a Death Match or not. The challenger sets the Rules and Limits of the fight against the Mist Swordsmen that includes location/time/weather etc. However the Swordsmen himself can decide to kill the challenger at their own discretion, so be warned challengers. Just because you don't want it to be a Death Match doesn't mean the Swordsmen has to decide to spare your life.
[Note, due to only Three Swordsmen at the time. Challenges for the other swords will be directed towards Sam'e Narukagami. Thou due to the absence of other Swordsmen one has to at least prove they are worthy of the blade to receive.]
Samehada Challenges
Samehada challenges are always and instantly Death Matches. The challenger once again gets to choose the Rules, Limits, and Location along with time/weather/etc. However three things must be met in a Samehada challenge. The First, the Challenger must Prove themselves to be a better Swordsmen. The Second, the Challenger must Prove to have "tastier" chakra then the current Wielder, and if you believe yours is better you must explain it to the Wielder. The Third, is obvious, you must be able to kill the Wielder.
Silent Killing Technique
As the name suggests, this technique is simply a very quiet method of killing an opponent, usually from behind with a blade. Additionally, because the user is very silent, it cannot be defended against. The user will often slit their opponent's throat, preventing any cry that might give them away. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are said to be masters of this technique, and were even good enough to track and kill opponents through sound alone. The first Swordsmen of each weapon will known the Silent Killing Technique, those who challenge or get the blade passed down to will not. However if one receives the blade from a pass down, it is up to the Previous owner discretion to teach the new Wielder.
