Sasuke's Reliance on Kenjutsu

[Honoikazuchi]

I wish that we would see Sasuke with more kenjutsu fights , because I've really got sick from all those lame Kunais fights in Naruto and Naruto shippuden , I mean they are Ninjas for the God's sake , aren't they supposed to use Katanas instead of lame Kunais in close-range fights

Ninja weren't know to use Katana in fights, or at all for that matter. Samurai used those blades. Ninja mostly utilized daggers or Tanto . That being said, they normally carried a blade with them. However as they specialized in stealth, assassination and espionage then they rarely used their blade and used smaller weapons that were easier to hide. The blade was ironically mostly used for things to get around easier, lengthen their reach and to stun their enemies.

When they used the blade, it was often just a single attack that was lethal.

I am talking about the show bro , we get always to see the Ninjas in Naruto dueling with Kunais (which is really lame), I mean if they want to duel , why not with swords or some longer blades , since you know , the Kunai isn't meant for dueling

A Katana isn't meant for dueling either, they break too easily. A kunai is easier to carry with you, and unless you specifically need a Katana for your mission then there is no reason to carry it with you. Essentially speaking, what real life Shinobi used Katana for is mostly replaced by chakra related abilities in Naruto.

see...., dueling with Katanas and Ninja sowrds make more sense to me than dueling with daggers and kunais , besides , we hardly see any stealthy mission in Naruto , most of the time we see them dueling with kunai and using ninjutsu

And there you have your answer. Katana are used exclusively for stealth missions. Where as Kunai and Shuriken is something a Shinobi normally carries with them at all times when they are on any form of mission and more or less at all times when not taking a break in the Narutoverse. Also, "Ninja swords" isn't really a thing. Kunai are meant to be concealed and carried in a hidden manner so they fit into almost any pocket. A Katana..? Not so much.

The primary reason Sasuke even use a Katana is because he is an Uchiha and the battle style is something that is common to them. Katana being used as a metaphor for power, where as the religious staff used by Hagoromo is weighting more towards a "peaceful" or "warless" approach to combat. It was always more about his character than anything. Though there is little basis in real life Shinobi for characters in the Narutoverse to use Katana in battle.

If you are looking for a in-plot explanation for this. Then it is probably that the Shinobi in the Narutoverse rely more on specific Jutsu than they do general martial arts such as swordsmanship. Why use a blade when you can throw a gigantic fireball at someone, right?
