Hidden Mist Village of the Land of Water

Momochi Zabuza (Hidden Mist Village) in the Land of Water. He was one of the second Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and the second wielder of the Executioner's Blade. Zabuza's ability to wield the Executioner's Blade with ease, coupled with his ruthless style, earned him the title "Demon of Kirigakure." During his time in the assassination squad, he assassinated countless important figures using his "Silent Killing Technique."

During the period when the Fourth Hokage Mizukage was controlled by Obito Uchiha using genjutsu, the politics of Hidden Mist Village were very dark. Zabuza attempted to assassinate him in Zabuza to stop the situation in the Bloody Mist Village. [23] The operation ultimately failed, forcing him to lead Haku away from the Land of Water and become a rogue ninja, hired by anyone willing to pay a high price to carry out assassination activities. He was defeated by Kakashi and lost his life while attempting to assassinate Dazuna.

Momochi Zabuza has no eyebrows, short black hair, white skin, and a muscular body. He wears a Mist Ninja headband, tilted slightly to the left, and the lower half of his face and neck are wrapped in bandages, revealing sharp teeth beneath. He wears long gloves on both hands, a belt around his chest, and carries Executioner's Blade on his back.

Cruel and wild, easily angered, he is a ruthless and ambitious man. He is brimming with confidence in his own strength and always displays an arrogant and disdainful attitude towards others. When faced with his client Kado's questioning, he directly swung his Executioner's Blade and declared, "Stop talking nonsense! This time, I'm going to personally cut off those bastards' heads!" "Who do you think you're talking to? I am the mighty Kirigakure, Momochi Zabuza!" This arrogant attitude remained completely unchanged despite being the client.

Although he was cold-hearted, he was not heartless; he just never showed his emotions. After Haku was killed by Kakashi's Lightning Cutter Blade, he shed tears of sorrow and wished to go to the same place as Haku.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique is a ninjutsu that shoots a large amount of water at the enemy, causing physical damage. It is named Water Dragon Bullet Technique because the shape of the water shot out resembles a dragon. When fighting Kakashi, Zabuza used the water environment to condense the water flow in the lake into a water dragon to attack him.

Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique uses chakra to manipulate water tens of meters high, rushing towards the enemy like a waterfall; its immense power can wash away the earth.

The Ninja Art: Mist Concealment Technique uses chakra to create a dense fog by swirling water droplets, filling the air with a mist whose density depends on the amount of chakra released. This technique can obstruct the enemy's vision, allowing the caster to appear and disappear in a milky-white world, enabling attacks. Zabuza favored using this ninjutsu to assassinate enemies.

The Clone Technique is a ninjutsu that uses water to create clones. These Water Clone Technique possess the user's taijutsu and other abilities, and multiple clones can be created simultaneously. Naruto and Sasuke were unable to handle Zabuza's Water Clone Technique during Zabuza battle.

Water Release: Water Prison Technique uses water to create a spherical prison that traps the opponent, rendering them unable to move or form hand seals, and making it impossible to break through from the inside. However, the caster must keep their hand touching the water prison to maintain its shape; once they leave, it will immediately dissipate.

The Body Flicker Technique: Body Flicker Technique, used by Momochi Zabuza, utilizes the Mist Concealment Technique to create a dense fog in the air, allowing him to move swiftly within the fog and attack enemies silently.

The Executioner's Blade a massive ninja sword capable of regenerating by absorbing the blood of its enemies. After Jūzō Biwa was killed by the Fourth Hokage Mizukage, Momochi Zabuza its new wielder. During the assassination attempt on Dazuna, Zabuza defeated by Kakashi and ultimately died from blood loss. His Executioner's Blade was buried with him in the Land of Waves.

Haku was a ninja with the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai. He encountered Zabuza while begging and was taken in by him, who taught him all his fighting techniques. Haku was extremely loyal to Zabuza and willingly served as his fighting tool. In the end, he died protecting Zabuza by blocking Kakashi's Lightning Cutter.

The two were rogue ninja from Momochi Zabuza, subordinates of Hidden Mist Village. They used a special chain with scythes at both ends as their weapon, working together to kill enemies. Zabuza sent them to assassinate Dazuna, but they were defeated by Kakashi and tied to a tree, forcing Zabuza to take matters into his own hands.

The renowned bridge-building expert from the Land of Waves, in order to safely return home after completing the bridge, entrusted Team 7 to escort him back. On the way, they were attacked by Zabuza and his gang.

Kado is ostensibly the owner of a shipping company, but in reality, he's a villain who colludes with the mafia and ninjas to smuggle drugs and controlled substances and seize other people's companies. In order to maintain control over the Land of Land of Waves' maritime transportation and Zabuza the bridge from being completed, he hires Zabuza to assassinate Dazuna.

When Zabuza nine years old, he single-handedly killed all the students in the Hidden Mist Village's ninja graduation exam. Because of this tragedy, the exam had to undergo major changes the following year.

Assassination of Yūshi Kumade

Zabuza became a member of the Kirigakure ANBU's Yūshi Kumade, where he was a master of silent assassination techniques. Zabuza used this Silent Killing Technique to kill Yuichi Kumamoto, a Konoha Special Konoha who was on a spy mission in the Hidden Mist Village. After Jūzō Biwa's death, Zabuza his Executioner's Blade and became a member of the second generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

During the Fourth Hokage Mizukage's reign, the village was under the long-term control of the Obito Uchiha's genjutsu, plunging Hidden Mist Village into darkness. As a result, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, who were originally tasked with carrying out difficult missions for the successive Mizukage, fled the village due to their dissatisfaction with the tyranny. Zabuza to assassinate the Fourth Hokage Mizukage to stop the situation in Bloody Mist Village, but failed and fled the village, becoming a rogue ninja.

Zabuza by Kado to assassinate bridge expert Dazuna. When he personally took action, he discovered that the reason why the Demon Brothers he had sent out earlier had failed was because Kakashi, with his Sharingan, was protecting Dazuna.

To test Kakashi's true strength, Zabuza launched an attack using the Mist Concealment Technique and Water Clone Technique. Kakashi immediately activated his Sharingan fight. After the battle began, Kakashi, who had a slight advantage, hid in the water, but miscalculated and was trapped by Zabuza's Water Prison Technique. In order to continue controlling him and attack Dazuna and Naruto simultaneously, Zabuza created a Water Clone Technique and launched a taijutsu attack on it.

Despite the vast difference in strength, Naruto and Sasuke, working in close coordination with Shadow Clone Technique and Fūma Shuriken, managed to strike Zabuza's physical form, breaking the Water Prison Technique and allowing Kakashi to re-engage with Zabuza. Kakashi used his Sharingan to simultaneously unleash Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique, creating a massive wave. Just as Kakashi was about to use Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique to finish him off, Kakashi preemptively used the Great Waterfall Technique, inflicting severe damage upon him.

Just as Kakashi was about to kill Zabuza, Haku, disguised as a member of the Kirigakure ANBU, appeared. He inserted two needles into Zabuza's neck, rendering him in a state of suspended animation, and Zabuza took him away under the pretext of disposing of the body. After reaching a safe location, Zabuza removed the needles from his neck. Although he was successfully rescued, his injuries required a week to heal, and he could only continue his assassinations once he was fully recovered.

A week later, Zabuza led Haku in another attack on Team 7 and Dazuna. Haku was responsible for dealing with Sasuke and Naruto, while Zabuza fought Kakashi. Having learned the weakness of the Sharingan from Haku, he hid in the thick fog and attacked Kakashi with his eyes closed, but Kakashi still dodged the attack. He continued to harass Kakashi with words in the fog and attempted to assassinate Dazuna, but Kakashi blocked the attack with his body at the last moment.

Kakashi then used ninjutsu to summon a ninja dog, which accurately located his position using its sense of smell and immobilized him. With him unable to fight, Kakashi decided to use the Lightning Cutter to end the battle.

Just as Kakashi was about to attack him, Haku suddenly arrived, blocking the Lightning Cutter with his body and Zabuza grabbing Kakashi, saving him once again. Zabuza, freed from control, was unwilling to waste the opportunity created by Haku and slashed down, hoping to cut Kakashi and Haku down together. However, Kakashi escaped the attack with Haku's corpse on his back.

Kakashi then attacked him with kunai, severely injuring his arms and rendering him unable to fight. At this moment, Kado arrived with a group of thugs, declaring that he would kill him, this "clown." Thus, the fight between Kakashi and Gato ceased, as there was no need for him to kill Dazuna anymore. Afterwards, Kado kicked Haku's corpse to vent his anger over his injured arms, but he made no other reaction, which angered Naruto, who retorted that Haku died for him, yet he showed no grief whatsoever.

Naruto then recounted Haku's loyalty and affection for him, which brought tears to the eyes of this tough man. Haku was more than just a tool to him. In the end, he and Naruto borrowed kunai, biting them in their mouths, and angrily charged at Kado. With just the kunai, they carved a bloody path, ultimately sending Kado to his doom.

Meanwhile, he collapsed to the ground, unconscious from excessive blood loss. After Kado's henchmen were scared away by Kakashi and the Shadow Clone, he begged Kakashi to let him see Haku's face one more time. Kakashi agreed and placed him beside Haku. Snow began to fall heavily, as if Haku was weeping for him. Beside Haku, Zabuza said that if he could, he truly wished to go to the same place as Haku. Kakashi told him that he could, they would go together.

Edo Tensei Zabuza, battles Kakashi in the mist.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Zabuza and Haku were resurrected by Kabuto Yakushi using the Edo Tensei technique. They regained their memories and consciousness, but their actions were controlled, forcing them to fight against the Third Division led by Hatake Kakashi. During the battle, Kakashi told them that the bridge had been named "Naruto Bridge" and that Naruto had become a great Kabuto Yakushi. Zabuza begged Kakashi to stop him, but then Kabuto Zabuza their wills. After a brief fight, they were sealed away by Kakashi's forces.

Kisame Hoshigaki was a member of the Akatsuki. He was originally one of the second Seven Ninja Swordsmen from Samehada (Hidden Mist Village) in the Land of Water, and the second wielder of the Samehada. He had a shark-like face, skin color, and sharp teeth. He was skilled in using Water Release and his greatsword Samehada (a sword capable of absorbing chakra) for attacks. Due to his immense chakra reserves, he was known as the "Tailless Tailed Beast." He was ultimately defeated by Might Guy and later committed suicide.

One of the second Seven Ninja Swordsmen from Hidden Mist Village) in the Land of Water, and the second wielder of the great sword Samehada. Currently a member of the Akatsuki organization, codenamed Nan (Southern Dipper).

He has long dark blue hair, a face similar to that of a shark (there are also shark gills on both shoulders), skin color, sharp teeth, and golden pupils. A ring with the word "Nan" representing "Nandou" is worn on the ring finger of his left hand.

Naruto calls him "Shark Guy." He is skilled in using Water Release and attacks with his unusual large sword "Samehada" (a sword that can absorb chakra). He possesses an astonishing amount of chakra and is referred to as the "Tailless Tailed Beasts" by the other six members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen (Neji said that besides Naruto, Hoshigaki Kisame was the second person he had ever seen with such a massive amount of chakra). He is incredibly strong. Within Akatsuki, he is considered one of the most obedient members, but he has never revealed anything about himself.

Impulsive and somewhat belligerent, he fully displayed his violent tendencies during Itachi's attack on Konoha, but compared to other belligerent members of the organization, he was relatively calm. He was very kind to Itachi, despite Itachi's casual and impolite manners (compared to Itachi).

Samehada Fusion Form: This technique is used in a giant ellipsoidal water prison. It integrates the Samehada into one's body, allowing one to transform into a half-mermaid. In this state, Hoshigaki Kisame can freely roam the water and possesses the abilities of chakra absorption and Chakra Sensing.

His fighting style is known as "the tailless Tailed Beasts," possessing a massive amount of chakra on par with Tailed Beasts. The key to his power lies in his ninja sword Samehada. When an opponent is attacked by Samehada, a large amount of their chakra is absorbed. During the battle, the opponent weakens as their chakra gradually diminishes, but Hoshigaki Kisame's chakra only increases. He is the type of opponent who grows stronger with each challenge, especially when facing opponents with powerful chakra, such as Jinchūriki, where Hoshigaki Kisame's abilities can be maximized.

Furthermore, even without Samehada, Hoshigaki Kisame possesses the ability to absorb chakra, but this is meaningless against opponents like Might Guy who don't rely on ninjutsu or chakra attacks.

This technique can be applied to various ninjutsu. Kisame Hoshigaki used this technique in combination with Samehada Fusion Form.

Four Sharks Rain slaps the water's surface with one hand, creating four vertically leaping water sharks around herself. These sharks fly into the air and then fall towards the enemy. If attacked by physical attacks, they split into 1,000 smaller shark water projectiles, raining down on the enemy on the Water Strike.

The greatsword Samehada can absorb the opponent's chakra and inject it into the user's body. Primarily used for slashing, this deep blue blade is covered in barbs and is usually wrapped in bandages. The greatsword is alive and only recognizes those it favors. Not only can it absorb the opponent's chakra for its own use, but it can also utilize the large amount of chakra stored in Samehada to stimulate cell regeneration, and can even Samehada with Samehada to become Fish-Man.

In the early stages of the anime, when Hoshigaki Kisame and Itachi entered Konoha to capture Naruto, Hoshigaki Kisame was very obedient to Itachi, obeying his orders for both attack and retreat. This shows that Hoshigaki Kisame had great faith in Itachi.

In Itachi's dying recollections, his initial encounter with Hoshigaki Kisame nearly escalated into a fight due to a disagreement, suggesting their relationship gradually improved during the mission. His inner monologues before death clearly reflected the influence of Itachi's words, Hoshigaki Kisame's profound respect for him. His final question to himself, "Only at the moment of death can one truly know oneself," became his last reflection before passing Hoshigaki Kisame.

However, it is not difficult to see from Hoshigaki Kisame's memories that he did not understand Itachi's true experiences, and therefore did not understand Itachi's inner thoughts.

Although the anime doesn't explicitly hint at the relationship between the two, and Hoshigaki Kisame's past experiences prevent him from developing deep feelings for Itachi, it's clear that Hoshigaki Kisame still deeply respects and admires Itachi.

The sorrowful expression Itachi showed when he saw Killer B take out Samehada and learned of Hoshigaki Kisame's death (though it was only for a moment, it was very rare for Itachi) shows that Itachi had already considered Hoshigaki Kisame as one of his comrades.

Obito Uchiha Hoshigaki Kisame were among the few members of the Akatsuki who knew Obito Uchiha's identity as "Madara Uchiha." Judging from his willingness to bite his tongue to protect Madara Uchiha's secret, Hoshigaki Kisame strongly agreed with Madara Uchiha's views. The manga and anime do not elaborate on their other relationship, and the extent to which their opinions aligned remains unknown.

Before becoming a rogue ninja, Hoshigaki Kisame, along with Might Guy, was a trusted subordinate of Fuguki Suikazan, the former owner of Samehada. For many years, he diligently carried out missions for Hidden Mist Village, even killing his comrades on missions to prevent them from falling into the hands of enemy interrogation forces and leaking information. In Kisame Hoshigaki's memories, during a mission in Hidden Mist Village with several teammates, he felt outnumbered when surrounded by Ibiki Morino of Konoha. Without hesitation, he killed all his teammates, reasoning that they would not be able to withstand torture if captured, while he himself jumped off a cliff to escape.

Furthermore, Hoshigaki Kisame was always bothered by the fact that despite their numerous encounters, Guy couldn't remember his name, or even his existence. Kisame also harbored resentment over the kick Guy gave him in Konoha. Kisame's praise of Hoshigaki Kisame when he used Morning Peacock Technique shows that Hoshigaki Kisame greatly admired him. Hoshigaki Kisame's statement that he would never forget Hoshigaki Kisame's name when he died further demonstrates Guy's respect for Hoshigaki Kisame. It's believed that if they weren't on opposing sides, Hoshigaki Kisame and Guy could have been good friends and rivals.

He then killed the traitor Fuguki Suikazan. Facing the Fourth Hokage Mizukage who appeared before him, Hoshigaki Kisame lamented that he was nothing more than a false existence.

Suddenly, a dark figure appeared behind the Fourth Hokage Mizukage, claiming he could free Hoshigaki Kisame from his false suffering and inviting him to become his ally. The figure identified himself as "Madara Uchiha" and confirmed his identity to Hoshigaki Kisame using his Sharingan. Hoshigaki Kisame agreed with his "Eye of the Moon" plan and joined Akatsuki without hesitation, becoming the new master of Samehada.

Because he was suspected of killing the Daimyo of the Land of Water and obstructing and sabotaging the country's work, Kisame became a wanted S-class rebel ninja. After joining Akatsuki, he wore a "South" ring representing "South Dou" on his left ring finger. After seeing the experience of Uchiha Itachi, Kisame wanted to ask for help because he had massacred his brothers. Qiu asked Itachi how he felt about killing his compatriots. Itachi replied: Those who kill their compatriots will not have a good end, and people can only recognize themselves at the moment of death. But Iniki Kaki Kisame cares and respects Itachi very much, and is very obedient to Itachi. Even if he complains, he will still resolutely implement it.

After Orochimaru's plan to "destroy Konoha" failed, Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame appeared in Konoha Village, encountering Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi along the way. Itachi fought against the genjutsu user Kurenai, while Hoshigaki Kisame dueled Asuma. However, Asuma's strength was no match for Hoshigaki Kisame, and he was slashed on the shoulder by Hoshigaki Kisame. Fortunately, two other Jonin from Konoha Hatake Kakashi and Guy, arrived in time to provide support. Hoshigaki Kisame was even hit by Guy's Leaf Strong Whirlwind. Hoshigaki Kisame wanted to fight Guy, but Itachi advised him not to underestimate Guy and had to leave. Later, Kisame and Itachi captured Naruto. The two dared not confront Jiraiya directly, so Itachi used genjutsu to control a beautiful woman to distract Jiraiya and ambush Naruto. However, Jiraiya and returned in time, summoning Toad Flesh Wall to trap the two. In desperation, Itachi used Amaterasu to retreat with Hoshigaki Kisame.
