The ability of Iato is a rather complicated one so the explanation will be as simple as possible. At the edge of the sheath where the tip of the blade comes out there is a fuinjutsu application. This fuinjutsu application is visible as a purple circle that emanates around the edge of the sheath when pulling out the blade. While drawing the user gets a passive option to apply a diferent fuin to the blade. When drawing the blade, a diagram shows at the end of the sheath that holds a plethora of fuinjutsu applications. A neat thinga bout this sheath's fuinjutsu application is that one can keep adding fuinjutsu within the diagram so to keep it up to date with new fuinjutsu that the user creates. The kanji for the fuinjutsu will be engraved by the sheath's fuinjutsu application as it's drawn.- While drawing the blade the wielder has the option to apply one of the stored fuinjutsu through this circle but the wielder has to register and store their own fuinjutsu, it does not come with any pre-made seals.
- Chakra used is equal to that of the fuin that is applied.
Origin: When all there existed was war, deep in the past hundreds of years ago, there were groups of men and women that longed for the bloodshed to cease. Those that lived in the plains saw their homelands turned into harsh battlefields; all within it holding little regard for life. Groups of these men and women, sought to forge a weapon that would allow them to defend themselves... and end all war from there on with it. Master blacksmiths, and many shinobi worked together in the process. Gathering the finest ores and metals, bringing them back to the forge. As the tale goes, the completion of the blade, would be the end of all bloodshed. This weapon was passed down from swordsmen to swordsmen, crushing any strike against the peace loving innocents.
However, all would not rest well.
Iato was forged for peace; but all it had ever known was battle. Bloodletting was in it's nature, what is a sword but for a fight? The residiual hate manifested a dark will within the katana, drawing it's users to possess ill will and malefic hate over time. It was one day, that the forgemasters of Iato met and declared that the use of the blade was forbidden, and the sword should be destroyed; lest it fall into the wrong hands.
This outcry was challenged by one obsessed with the weapon. Taking it upon himself, the infamous swordsmen took Iato and slew all those that helped forged the blade or heard of it's creation. Sewing countless corpses into the ground, at last the weapon built for peace was transformed into a tool of unlimited destruction. Lost throughout history, and passed down from swordsmen to swordsmen, it has now fallen into the hands of Izo Uzumaki. A soul deemed strong enough to wield it, with honor to restrain it's thirst for blood. Or perhaps, the blade has no will of it's own at all, and these tales are simply legend meant to dissuade any persons from wielding it wrongly; only time will tell.
