Samehada


 * Name:
 * Wielder: Kisame Hoshigaki
 * Debut (Anime): Naruto Episode 81
 * Debut (Manga): Chapter 141

Samehada is a large unique sword of comparable size to Zabuza Momochi's Decapitating Carving Knife. Unlike a regular sword, Samehada is covered in large scales that shave or shred any surface instead of cutting it, much like a shark's skin (hence the name). It also has the ability to absorb any chakra around it, allowing Kisame to literally cut through his opponent's chakra. The amount that it can absorb is unclear, but it is shown to even consume the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's chakra from Naruto Uzumaki's body with no ill effects. Chōjūrō claims that the Samehada is the most terrifying amongst the blades of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Samehada is also a sentient weapon and only allows Kisame to wield it. In the words of Kisame, "It acknowledges only me." When Might Guy attempted to wield Samehada and use it against Kisame, it responded with a flurry of spikes protruding from its handle, thereby injuring Guy's hands, and returned back to Kisame. This weapon is also highly sought after by Taka member Suigetsu Hozuki, and is stated to be the sole reason Suigetsu joined Sasuke in his hunt for Itachi Uchiha. Suigetsu believes that he will be able to wield Samehada if he kills Kisame, but it is unknown if this is actually true.
