KISAME HOSHIGAKI
KH
The towering, blue skinned rogue executioner from the Hidden Mist who operates within the active vanguard of the Akatsuki syndicate alongside Itachi Uchiha. Wielding the massive, flesh tearing Samehada, a sentient shark skinned sword that shreds through physical defenses and devours chakra rather than cutting with an edge, his presence brings a blunt, unsparing martial brutality to the battlefield. He maintains an unsettlingly cheerful composure during high stakes combat encounters, possessing a massive, beast like reservoir of baseline physical energy that allows him to flood dry terrain with colossal water tidal waves, easily trapping veteran defensive Jonin structures within liquid tombs.

WEAPONS & ARTIFACTS //
Open page →The most terrifying of the Seven Blades. A living, scaly sword covered in sharp shark skin that shaves target flesh rather than cutting. Feeds directly on high-tier chakra, capable of transferring stolen energy to heal its wielder or fusing with its master entirely.

Itachi and Kisame infiltrate Konoha unnoticed. Asuma and Kurenai engage them on the river, but Kurenai's Tree Bind Genjutsu is instantly reflected by Itachi's Sharingan. Kakashi arrives, but Itachi activates Tsukuyomi—subjecting Kakashi to 72 hours of agonizing sword stabs in one second of real time. Might Guy arrives, instructing everyone to fight Kisame/Itachi by tracking foot movements rather than looking into their eyes.
The Breakdown
The terrifying introduction of the Akatsuki. It establishes the god-tier ceiling of the Mangekyō Sharingan and Samehada, leaving Kakashi hospitalized and putting the village on high alert.
