It's kind of disappointing.He's supposed to have studied under Orochimaru and has a legendary blade that rivals Orochi's sword of Kusanagi, hut really how many non fodders has he used it effectively on?Not to mention Naruto is able to counter him with just a kunai, and I'm not even going to mention what happened with Killer Bee.

He's not horrible or a novice, but he's also not a master like Mifune, who doesn't have a sharingan, or a chakra nature to enhance his Kenjutsu.

I'd put him slightly below Anbu Kakashi level at using swords.

TL:DR; It's like a hobby to him, he's not serious about it.

I think he's proficient as he did gain complements from his kenjutsu

He barely uses his sword. He relies mainly on his ninjutsu. That why is taijutsu is barely above average in the databook but his ninjutsu is maxed out.

indeed, whats the point of having a sword if its not even effective, he should just spam the **** out of chidori like kakashi does in the anbu fillers lol.

When has Naruto EVER countered his sword?

Below Kakashi? Just no.

If I recall, he was able to stab Yamato, behead Orochimaru, defeat Mifune's militia, defend against Mifune, defend against Deidara's mines, use it as leverage to reach Deidara and fatally stab danzou twice with it.

He's never fought Sasuke with a sword.

Sai countered flawlessly though.

Sai grabbed his hand, oh please.

He dropped Yamato and countered Mifune.
His prowess is there for all to see.

I agree with his kenjutsu being stopped by naruto, but Bee was definitely supposed to pwn sasuke's kenjutsu with his own. Cloud ninja all have swords and are all advanced kenjutsu users. when you take that into account and how much EXP he has using swords, sasuke didnt have a chance against Bee in Kenjutsu. But the rest of the tread is accurate and i agree on all other points

So? It's still a kenjutsu attack and Sai stopped it, then Sasuke complimented him on choosing the right type of block. And Yamato said something about not holding back anymore and forcing the blade out of his chest with Mokuton.

Personally, I think Sasuke is seventh/eight in kenjutsu behind Killer Bee, Mifune, Kimimaro, Mangetsu, and possibly Chojuro since his nutsack dropped. Then there's a few wildcards like Omoi, Darui, Zabuza, and Suigetsu who are arguably better than him. Itachi and Orochimaru as well.

I'm not placing Kakashi, itachi over sasuke, they used a blade for all of five minutes. I don't recall obito putting in work with a sword

He's pretty good, it was just that Bee is so good that made him look bad
