Joki. your kidding me. HAVE TO BE. His blunt sword wont take out the bone guy. Pls. And like i said. Gaara was a Genin but the strongest in his village. stop throwing the "GENIN" thing in the picture cause as it was seen no genin is supposed to be on S rank mission and yet it was. They was atleast High Chunnin level. that blast sword is pretty lame to be honest. But here is what i say
7swordsman-Short range
Sound 5-Short,Mid,Long range. Sound 5 will cordinate a better strategy
Whose blunt sword? well none of them in particular have blunt swords, all of them are easily capable of killing Kimimaro. The only one I can think of is Zabuza but it's far from blunt. Choujuro's is practically a buzzing laser-sword, Ringo's is enhanced with Raiton chakra, Blast Sword is well a
blast sword while exploding tags blow off body parts casually. Samehada is well samehada. Helm splitter also gets through. Kushimaru's may not "kill kimimaro" like you say but he doesn't have to fight him really.
I'm not throwing the Genin thing out there much. The point is rank was heavily important in part 1, they
were Genin level ninja and
2 tokubetsu jonin
made all of the sound 4 go to CS2 and were pushed to their limits. 7 ninja with extraordinary abilities will be able to easily do the same. I noticed you mainly ignored the hidden mist, you post all the advantages of the Sound but neglect to mention they're fighting against 7 people
completely blind and they're masters of fighting in the mist.
They also have their fair share of long range attacks and their swords effects are definitely not slacking.
