No chakra or jutsu- kenjutsu only who will be the last man standing in the Chunnin Exams arena? The ninja must be a sword user primarily.

This isn't just WHO is the best swordsman but moreso the practical application of who would be the last man standing? Fight-wise Bee for example might challenge too many opponents due to the nature of his style or someone like Sui/Zabuza might stand more of a chance considering his sword becomes more durable with the more blood it sheds.

Orochimaru
Kisame
Sasuke
Bee
Mifune
Darui
Zabuza
Omoi
Ringo
Mangetsu
Suigetsu etc etc.

Killer Bee is the best at kenjutsu in my full opinion. His style is too unpredictable for the enemy, which helps in throwing off many advanced users of kenjutsu.

I think he makes himself too much of an immediately big threat to other ninja so his style would involve him being a larger target that prioritises the attention of other enemies.

Also Mangetsu/Suigetsu don't have Hydrification...obviously.

That probably helps him further, because in his 8 sword style he spins and generally roams around the stage slashing and dicing whatever comes by. He's also able to move surprisingly fast, in case anyone corners him.

Actually, he doesn't spin around like a tornado, but instead, carefully controls his blades to maneuver around his opponent's attacks and strike vital points as a result. At least, this is explicitly stated in its Databook Entry. If he's preoccupied with Sasuke, for example, then he'd be far too preoccupied with controlling each of his blades to defeat Sasuke that he can easily be attacked from his rear. The only way his Acrobatic Taijutsu would work in a crowd is if his opponents were fodder.

As for the topic, if this is EMS Sasuke, then he'd likely be the last one standing.

Doesn't matter, as anyone near him would be subject to being slashed as he brings it down to the primary target.

If the blades are only targeting his primary target, then no they wouldn't.

Yes they would, as they are coming from all angles of B's body when they are brought towards the target when held horizontally.

This is what happens with each step he takes:



They're not covering all angles of his body as if he was moving frantically like a cyclone. He's carefully positioning and maneuvering his blades which is explicitly shown here. No offense, but I'm failing to see how his blade is coming from every angle of his body when this screenshot suggests otherwise.

His blades spin vertically and horizontally when he rolls forward like that.

I understand your point, but they're not defending every angle of his body nor is he wielding each blade simultaneously as if each blade is ready to pierce everyone who comes in direct contact with him.

Kinishki would probably get on their asses if he was on the list.
