| abstract | - The Seven Pupils of the Mist was created to improve the techniques and skills of children who had come from the Bloody Mist's graduation, and stands out from the other students which sought a position among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. After being accepted by the swordsmen, the child was selected to be one of the Seven's apprentice, usually being chosen by the holder who had a personality similar to that of the child or whose sword could be more easily handled by the child in the future. After that the child receive its own sword, which like the Seven Swordsmen, possesses unique skills, but are less powerful than those of the Seven. In the history of the Seven Pupils, only two shinobi resigned from their posts and left the group. The first was Mekajiki Kankitsu who did not accept the methodology used for the training of children and longed for more wisdom and a higher position. than the title of Swordsman of the Mist could give him The second shinobi to leave the group was Yagura who refused to pass on his sword. To be able to maintain possession of the sword, Yagura had to murder his master as well as half of the ANBU squad. The group's decline was considered by many as one of the first indicators that would lead to the fall of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. After successive clashes between the Seven Swordsmen, coup d'etat attempts against the Mizukage and the revelation that Yagura was being controlled by a genjutsu, the relationship between the seven swordsmen became increasingly uncertain and turbulent, which reflected in their pupils. Over the period of wars between villages, some of the seven swords of the pupils were lost beyond the reach of Kirigakure while others were destroyed as Eienfuyu which was broken into three pieces by Sunagakure's shinobi after Soyokaze Baeru's death. In addition to the deaths and betrayals of some of the Seven Swordsmen, the interest of the remaining swordsmen in owning a pupil became dispensable, culminating in the extinction of the group.
