Naginata of Kenkon



The Naginata of Kenkon (lit. "Halberd of Heaven (ken) and Earth (kon)") was a sword forged by Kaijinbo, commissioned and wielded by Hoshiyomi.

History
The Naginata of Kenkon was commissioned by the shadow demon ninja, Hoshiyomi. The demon, in fear of losing his love, Tsukiyomi, who was succumbing to her mortality from fighting demons using her holy powers, wanted to wield a weapon that would be capable of keeping the two of them safe forever so they would never have to live their lives constantly fighting and slaying other demons. Commissioning Kaijinbo to create a sufficient weapon, he was required to kill 222 demons and present the essence to the blacksmith. Upon completion, Hoshiyomi wielded its terrible power. Basking in its awesome might, he felt confident that he had secured Tsukiyomi's safety. However, she feared that the weapon's demonic aura was taking over him seeing a terrible glint of thirst for blood in his eyes. One day, she called Hoshiyomi and in an ambush, unleashed a sealing spell on him, relieving him of the Naginata. Slightly tired, she then advanced to try and dispel the evil, but the horrifying aura was too much to even approach and so she split the Naginata into two halves, sending one into a far off land, to be guarded by the Hojo clan, and the other at the bluff of Mount Hakurei.. The spell had already taken nearly all of her life force. Tsukiyomi dies just as she attempts to releases Hoshiyomi from the spell. Eventually Hoshiyomi breaks free and, though distraught at her death, Hoshiyomi resolves to regain the Naginata and take his vengeance on mankind.

By the time of InuYasha, Hoshiyomi had already obtained one half, the Kon blade; the other still in the custody of Hojo. However, Hoshiyomi manages to take the other half and complete the Naginata. Shortly after, he clashes with Inuyasha and manages to absorb Tessaiga's demonic energies and quell the half-demon. He then goes on to attempt to destroy the world, summoning a void to suck in everything to oblivion but is dispelled by Kagome (with aid from Tsukiyomi). The evil aura from the Naginata makes Hoshiyomi nihilistic towards all, his resolve still strong. Before he can finish off Inuyasha's group, he is stopped by the spirit of Tsukiyomi, possessing Kagome's body and taking the Naginata away from him and tries to remind him of their love. The aura proves too strong and gives in, taking back the Naginata. The weapon is destroyed, along with Hoshiyomi after being engulfed in the Backlash Wave with Kagome's arrow combined. It is only after the destruction of the weapon he is able to realize his mistake seconds before he dies after seeing a glimpse of his love one last time.

Special Abilities

 * Aura: Giving off a purple demonic aura, the demonic essence of the Naginata was powerful enough to corrupt (and possibly possess as Tsukiyomi suspected) Hoshiyomi, forever changing his personality until his death.
 * Barrier: Even with just the Kon blade, Hoshiyomi is still able to erect a yellowish barrier, powerful enough to withstand the power of Inuyasha's Wind Scar.
 * Energy Absorption: At least attributed to the Kon blade, the Naginata is able to absorb both demonic energy (such as the instance with the Tessaiga) and spiritual energy (such as the instance with Kagome).  In addition to this the Naginata is able to expel this energy via a Kenatsu, as shown when  Hoshiyomi fired a blast at Inuyasha after absorbing much of the Tessaiga's energy; the blast scar was sizeable to Sesshomaru's first use of the Wind Scar.
 * Kenatsu: Kenatsu is a special ablitiy that allows the Naginata to cut a opponent without touching them. Although not quite as strong in its basic form, the Naginata's deep violet Kenatsu is still very powerful.
 * Crimson Sphere: Quite possibly the Naginata's most powerful attack--Hoshiyomi uses this as a seemingly last measure attack to kill Inuyasha and his band--a large crimson sphere of energy is formed and can be fired.  If said attack connects with someone the sphere can engulf them and quite possibly dissintegrate them.
 * Spherical Shockwave: Similar to Sesshomaru's spherical shockwave with the Tokijin, a ball of demonic energy is created on the tip of the blade and dispersed in a spherical fashion. Hoshiyomi uses said attack to slay a large number of demons in one stroke after they surround him.
 * Nether Vortex: Also quite possibly the Naginata's most powerful attack, and much similar to the Meidou Zangetsuha, Hoshiyomi can launch a red kenatsu burst that seemingly/theorheticlly creates a portal to the invisible void between Heaven and Earth.  This portal, however, acts also as a black hole as it sucks in everything around it with Kazaana-like force.
