Greatsword: Samehada

Samehada, a great sword, is one of the Seven Ninja Swords of the Hidden Mist. It has been wielded by many different owners and has witnessed countless thrilling battles.

Samehada's first owner was Fuguki Suikazan, a ninja from Hidden Mist Village who was renowned for his superb swordsmanship and masterful use of Samehada. In his hands, Samehada displayed astonishing power, becoming his weapon of choice for defeating enemies.

However, Samehada's legend didn't end there. Later, it fell into the hands of Kisame Hoshigaki, a member of the Akatsuki whose strength was unfathomable. Under his control, Samehada, unleashing unprecedented power.

Furthermore, Samehada was also used by Killer B. Killer B was the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki, and a strange resonance developed between him and Samehada. Samehada was able to absorb Killer B's chakra and convert it into its own power, greatly enhancing Killer B's fighting abilities.

Today, Samehada's owner is Shizuma Hoshigaki. He inherited Samehada's power and continues to write the legend of this ninja sword.

Samehada is unique in that it is not just an ordinary weapon, but also possesses life and consciousness. It only recognizes those it likes, and can only unleash its greatest power when it is in perfect harmony with its master.

Samehada has a variety of attack methods; it can be used to slash people like a regular sword, or it can be thrown to attack enemies at a distance. Its blade is dark blue and covered with sharp barbs. It is usually tightly wrapped with bandages, giving it a mysterious and majestic feel.

Furthermore, Samehada possesses an astonishing ability—absorbing an opponent's chakra. When Samehada comes into contact with an enemy, it can rapidly absorb the opponent's chakra and convert it into its own energy. This ability not only enhances Samehada's power but also allows the user to continuously replenish their stamina during battle, maintaining peak condition.

Even more remarkably, the chakra absorbed by Samehada can be used to stimulate the regeneration of the body's cells. This means that when injured, Samehada can use its stored chakra to help its master recover quickly from injuries, and can even Samehada with its master to transform into a powerful Fish-Man form with even greater strength and speed.

In short, Samehada is a legendary ninja sword. Its powerful abilities and unique personality make it one of the best among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. No matter who wields it, Samehada displays unparalleled power, becoming a fearsome presence on the battlefield. This sword is extraordinary; its primary purpose is to slash. The blade has a deep blue hue, like the color of the deep sea, mysterious and terrifying. The blade is covered with densely packed barbs, like the sharp teeth of a shark, sending chills down one's spine.

This greatsword is no ordinary object; it possesses life and only recognizes those it favors. Once it accepts someone, they become their master's powerful weapon. Moreover, this greatsword has unique abilities. It can absorb an enemy's chakra and convert it for its own use, and it can also utilize the large amount of chakra stored in Samehada to stimulate the regeneration of the body's cells, allowing the master to quickly recover from injuries in battle.

Even more astonishing is that this greatsword can also combine with its master, transforming the master into Fish-Man with even greater strength and speed. Kisame Hoshigaki was the second user of this greatsword.

Kisame Hoshigaki was a member of the Akatsuki. He was originally a member of the second batch of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist from Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water. He was skilled in Water Release techniques and wielded a large sword called Samehada. This sword could absorb chakra and was his powerful weapon in battle.

Kisame Hoshigaki's appearance is quite similar to that of a shark; his face, skin color, and sharp teeth are reminiscent of a ferocious shark. He possesses an astonishing amount of chakra, hence he is known as the "Tailless Tailed Beast."

However, despite Kisame Hoshigaki's immense strength, he was ultimately defeated by Might Guy. In the fierce battle with Might Guy, he fought with all his might but was still unable to defeat his opponent. In the end, he chose to commit suicide, ending his own life.

One of the second generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen from Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water, he was the second wielder of the great sword Samehada — Kisame Hoshigaki. His appearance was extremely distinctive, with a face quite similar to a shark, a dark gray skin like a shark, and sharp teeth in his mouth, as if he were a monster that had emerged from the deep sea.

Kisame Hoshigaki not only possesses a unique appearance, but his combat abilities are also outstanding. He is skilled in Water Release ninjutsu, able to manipulate water elements for both attack and defense. His greatsword, Samehada, is an even more powerful weapon; it is not only incredibly sharp but also possesses the special ability to absorb chakra. In battle, Samehada can continuously absorb the opponent's chakra, providing Hoshigaki Kisame with a constant source of energy.

Due to the astonishing amount of chakra contained within him, Kisame Hoshigaki was known as the "Tailless Tailed Beast." His chakra reserves were so vast that they were comparable to those of a true Tailed Beasts. However, despite his immense power, he was ultimately defeated by Might Guy. In the fierce battle with Might Guy, Hoshigaki Kisame fought with all his might, but ultimately could not overcome his opponent and suffered a crushing defeat.

After his defeat, Hoshigaki Kisame did not choose to live a life of ignominy, but resolutely chose to commit suicide. He ended his life in a decisive way, thus bringing his legendary life to a close.

Samehada Fusion Form is a unique technique of Kisame Hoshigaki, which can only be used within a giant ellipsoidal water prison. In this form, he merges his greatsword Samehada into his body, causing a strange transformation that turns him into a half-mermaid.

In this state, Hoshigaki Kisame's strength increases dramatically. He can not only fly freely in the water like a fish in water, but also possesses the abilities of chakra absorption and Chakra Sensing. He can keenly sense the chakra fluctuations of surrounding enemies, allowing him to react in advance. His fighting style in Samehada Fusion Form is even referred to as "the tailless Tailed Beasts," because Hoshigaki Kisame at this time possesses a massive amount of chakra at the Tailed Beasts level, and its power is unimaginable.

In battle, Hoshigaki Kisame in his Samehada Fusion Form fully utilizes Samehada's properties. Whenever Samehada attacks, the opponent's chakra is absorbed in large quantities like a burst dam. This often leaves opponents with insufficient chakra, gradually causing them to lose their fighting ability.

In the heat of battle, an opponent's chakra gradually depletes over time, causing their strength to weaken. However, Hoshigaki Kisame is different; his chakra not only doesn't decrease but actually increases, exhibiting a characteristic of becoming stronger when facing stronger opponents. Especially when facing opponents with powerful chakra, such as Jinchūriki, Hoshigaki Kisame's abilities can be maximized.

Furthermore, even without relying on Samehada, Hoshigaki Kisame possesses the ability to absorb chakra. However, this ability becomes somewhat ineffective against opponents like Might Guy who don't rely on ninjutsu or chakra attacks.

Hoshigaki Kisame's signature technique is Water Release: Water Shark Bullet Technique. This technique allows him to condense chakra into a shark-shaped water bullet, which he then attacks with astonishing speed and power. Furthermore, he can use the shark-shaped water bullet to envelop himself, allowing him to glide through the air and increasing the agility and surprise of his attacks.

Besides Water Release: Water Shark Bullet Technique, Hoshigaki Kisame also possesses an even more powerful Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique. This technique can instantly create a gigantic shark-shaped water bullet, whose power is enough to pose a significant threat to enemies. Moreover, if this water bullet is subjected to a physical attack, it can instantly absorb the chakra from the opponent's attack, making itself even larger and further enhancing the power of the attack.

Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique and Water Release: Water Prison Technique utilize water flow to form a spherical cage, which can be used as a shield to protect oneself from harm or as a means to imprison the opponent.

Water Release: Water Prison Technique is a powerful ninjutsu. The user first leaps into the air, then gathers chakra in their throat, and finally spews water, enough to form a lake, towards the ground like a fountain. This water will crash down on the enemy like a surging wave.

Water Release: Exploding Water Shock Wave involves violently spewing out waves of water from the mouth, instantly forming a giant ellipsoidal water prison that tightly imprisons the enemy. The caster can also freely roam within this water prison, as if it were their own territory.

Water Release: Great Exploding Water Shock Wave is an upgraded version of Water Release: Exploding Water Shock Wave. The water spewed from the user's mouth is like a huge torrent, instantly forming a larger ellipsoidal water prison. This water prison can not only imprison the enemy, but also put enormous pressure on them.

In addition, Four Sharks Rain is also a very powerful Water Release ninjutsu. The user slams one hand on the ground, and four water sharks immediately leap vertically into the air like rockets, then rain down on the enemy. If these water sharks encounter physical attacks, they will immediately split into 1,000 smaller shark water bullets, which will rain down on the enemy on the Water Strike.

Four Sharks Rain Water Strike with one hand, sending water Five Feeding Sharks everywhere like a bomb exploding underwater. At the same time, he swiftly used his chakra to instantly create five lifelike shark-shaped water bullets. These water bullets, like real sharks, bared their fangs and claws as they lunged at their enemies beneath the surface, their sharp teeth gleaming coldly, as if ready to tear them to shreds.

As long as the hands of the Four Sharks Rain Five Feeding Sharks remain on the water's surface, these five shark-shaped water bullets will continuously generate, launching repeated attacks on the enemy. Like a pack of Sanjuan Wolf, they will relentlessly bite their enemy until they are killed.

The Five Feeding Sharks and the Thousand Feeding Sharks were even more formidable. In an instant, he summoned a full thousand sharks, which surged towards the enemy like a raging torrent. Each shark was filled with murderous intent, and their attacks were as fierce as Zhou Yu, leaving no escape.

Not only can Thousand Feeding Sharks summon sharks, he is also proficient in Earth Release: Earth Dive. He uses Earth Release: Subterranean Voyage to transform solid sand and gravel underground into fluid, allowing him to swim rapidly through the soil. This allows him to launch surprise attacks from underground, catching his enemies off guard.

Earth Release: Subterranean Voyage Samehada is another of Thousand Feeding Sharks's signature techniques. He activates the spikes on Samehada, causing them to pierce through bandages and become exposed, then presses them tightly against the enemy's body, repeatedly tearing at them. This move not only inflicts massive damage on the enemy but also allows Samehada to devour their Samehada.

During the battle with Asuma, Thousand Feeding Sharks 'Samehada: Breath Eater successfully slashed Asuma's left shoulder, severely injuring him.

Samehada: Slice Annihilation Slash is also Thousand Feeding Sharks's signature moves. He repeatedly uses the sides of Samehada to strike the enemy's body, each strike containing immense power, enough to shatter the enemy's bones.

Samehada's Chain Slash is truly astonishing. The hilt of Samehada suddenly extends more than ten meters, curving like a chain, while the blade twists and turns to pierce the enemy. This move is unpredictable and difficult to anticipate, often catching the enemy off guard.

Finally, Samehada possesses a unique ability—chakra absorption. When Samehada gets very close to or comes into contact with an enemy's body, weapon, or physical chakra, it devours the enemy's chakra like a greedy monster, instantly stripping the enemy of their power. Samehada opens its gaping maw, like a ravenous devouring machine, continuously sucking in the opponent's chakra. Even the immense chakra of Tailed Beasts cannot satisfy Samehada's insatiable hunger.

Samehada not only absorbs chakra, but also possesses a unique skill—Chakra Absorption Trigger Trap: Samehada Prison. When Samehada applies a jutsu to an object, once an enemy touches the object, the trap is triggered, releasing four giant water spheres, each resembling a ferocious shark, which quickly engulf both the enemy and Samehada.

In addition, Samehada also possesses the technique of Water Clone Technique. It can use water to create clones that resemble its original body. Although these clones are only one-tenth as strong as the original body, they can still play a certain role in battle.

Samehada's Chakra Absorption Technique is even more astonishing. When it is struck by a weapon that uses chakra as a medium or comes into contact with an enemy's body, it can quickly absorb the enemy's chakra, thereby enhancing its own power.

One of Samehada's most powerful abilities is Samehada Chakra Transfer. Samehada will transfer the chakra it has swallowed to its master without reservation, eliminating fatigue, quickly healing wounds, enhancing stamina and speed, and keeping the master in peak fighting condition at all times.

In the fierce battle against Might Guy, Samehada displayed its astonishing Monster Strength. Facing Might Guy's powerful Leaf Whirlwind, Samehada was fearless, unleashing powerful arm strength to resist and successfully breaking free from Yamato's Wood Release restraints. (2 images of Samehada blocking Guy's Leaf Whirlwind with one hand) Shark Summoning sharks for attack, defense, infiltration, or intelligence transmission.

The shark-themed item, the Samehada, is a very special and powerful weapon. It can not only absorb the opponent's chakra, but also inject the absorbed chakra into the user's body, providing the user with a continuous source of energy.

The blade of this large knife is a deep blue color and covered with sharp barbs, giving it a cold and deadly feel. To avoid accidental injury, it is usually tightly wrapped in bandages.

It's worth mentioning that this greatsword is no ordinary weapon; it possesses its own life and consciousness. It will only recognize someone it likes as its master, and once it has chosen that person, it will be absolutely loyal to them.

Besides its ability to absorb chakra, Samehada has other unique functions. For example, it can use its large stored chakra to stimulate the regeneration of body cells, which is undoubtedly an extremely important means of recovery for injured users. In addition, Samehada can fuse with the user, transforming the user into Fish-Man and greatly enhancing their combat abilities.

After the deaths of Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki, no one in the world could ever be called "Itachi-san" again. In the early stages of the anime, Hoshigaki Kisame and Itachi infiltrated Konoha Village together with the aim of capturing Naruto. During this process, Hoshigaki Kisame obeyed Itachi's orders without hesitation, carrying them out without question, whether it was attacking or retreating. This shows that Hoshigaki Kisame had great faith in Itachi.

There is a video that fully showcases the life of the true man, Kisame Hoshigaki. In Hoshigaki Kisame's memories before his death, we see that when he first met Itachi, the two almost had a fierce argument due to some verbal disagreements.

Therefore, it is evident that the relationship between these two individuals gradually improved during the course of their mission. Especially considering Hoshigaki Kisame's inner monologues before his death, he was clearly deeply influenced by Itachi's words. This fully demonstrates that Hoshigaki Kisame held Itachi in extremely high esteem.

The phrase "Only when a person dies can they truly know themselves" seems to have become Hoshigaki Kisame's final question to himself at the end of his life. However, from Hoshigaki Kisame's memories, we can see that he didn't really understand Itachi's true experiences, and therefore couldn't fathom Itachi's true thoughts.

Although the anime doesn't explicitly hint at the relationship between the two, and given Hoshigaki Kisame's own experiences, he might not develop extremely deep feelings for Itachi, we can still discern through certain details that Hoshigaki Kisame deeply respects and admires Itachi.

For example, when Itachi saw Killer B take out Samehada and realized that Hoshigaki Kisame was dead, the slight sadness on Itachi's face (although this moment was extremely brief, it was very rare for someone as reserved as Itachi) was enough to prove that in Itachi's heart, he had long regarded Hoshigaki Kisame as his comrade.

Furthermore, within the Akatsuki, Hoshigaki Kisame, like Obito Uchiha, was one of the few who knew Obito Uchiha's true identity Madara Uchiha ".

Judging from Kisame's willingness to bite his tongue to protect Madara Uchiha's secret, he strongly agrees with Hoshigaki Kisame 'Madara Uchiha views. The manga and anime do not explain their other relationship, so it is unknown how much their views are consistent.

With Obito Uchiha and Might Guy, Naruto: When Hoshigaki Kisame forced Guy to open the Seventh Gate, he finally remembered Hoshigaki Kisame's name! Moreover, Hoshigaki Kisame was always concerned about how he had fought Guy several times, but Guy still couldn't remember his name, or even forget his existence. He also held a grudge about the kick Guy gave him in Konoha.

When Kai unleashed the Morning Peacock, Hoshigaki Kisame was amazed by his strength and highly praised his skill and courage. Hoshigaki Kisame's reaction clearly showed his admiration for Kai.

When Hoshigaki Kisame finally passed away, Guy said he would never forget Hoshigaki Kisame's name, a gesture that profoundly demonstrated Guy's identification with Hoshigaki Kisame. Despite being on opposing sides, this identification transcended the boundaries of friend and foe, showing a special understanding and respect between the two.

It's conceivable that if it weren't for their differing stances, Hoshigaki Kisame and Guy might have become very close friends, inspiring and growing together. They might have honed their skills through competition, constantly improving their abilities, while also supporting each other in life, becoming each other's strongest backing.

However, fate led them down different paths. Before becoming a rogue ninja, Hoshigaki Kisame was a trusted subordinate of Fuguki Suikazan, the former owner of Samehada. For many years, he faithfully carried out various missions for Hidden Mist Village, even going so far as to kill his comrades on missions to prevent them from falling into the hands of enemy interrogation teams and thus avoid information leaks.

In Kisame Hoshigaki's memory, he and several teammates were on a mission in Hidden Mist Village when they were surrounded by Ibiki Morino of Konoha. Faced with such a powerful enemy, Hoshigaki Kisame felt outnumbered, but he did not hesitate and decisively killed all his teammates to ensure the success of the mission and the safety of the intelligence.

The reason given was that those people, once captured, would inevitably succumb to torture and escape by jumping off a cliff. A profile of Hoshigaki Kisame in his youth in the ANBU: Kisame Hoshigaki (Part 1), the honest man in the Bloody Mist Era. Later, he killed the Fuguki Suikazan.

Facing the Fourth Hokage Mizukage who appeared before him, Hoshigaki Kisame lamented that he was merely a false existence. Suddenly, a dark figure appeared behind the Fourth Hokage Mizukage, who claimed to be able to free Hoshigaki Kisame from his false suffering and invited him to become his ally.

The shadowy figure identified himself as "Madara Uchiha" and confirmed his identity to Hoshigaki Kisame using his Sharingan. Hoshigaki Kisame, agreeing with Madara's "Eye of the Moon" plan, joined Akatsuki without hesitation, unexpectedly becoming the new master of Samehada. Hoshigaki Kisame, his former enemy, now showed a gentler side. He kindly reminded Itachi that getting wet in the rain was bad for his health, a gesture of concern that came as a surprise.

However, fate is always full of drama. Suspected of murdering the Daimyo of the Land of Water and obstructing and sabotaging the country's work, Hoshigaki Kisame eventually became a wanted S-rank rogue ninja. Left with no other choice, he chose to join the Akatsuki, a mysterious and powerful organization.

After joining Akatsuki, Kisame wore a ring with the word "" representing Nan Dou on his left ring finger. This ring seemed to symbolize his new identity and mission.

After learning about Itachi's past, Hoshigaki Kisame, citing their shared experience of killing their own brethren, requested to become Itachi's partner. When Kisame asked Itachi how it felt to kill his own brethren, Itachi's answer was thought-provoking, "Those who kill their own brethren never have a good ending. Only at the moment of death can one truly understand oneself."

Nevertheless, Kisame Hoshigaki showed Itachi great care and respect. He was very obedient to Itachi, and even though he sometimes complained, he would still resolutely carry out Itachi's orders.

Upon entering Konoha Village, Hoshigaki Kisame and Itachi encountered Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi. What kind of story will this encounter lead to?
