## Power

Kisame was an extremely powerful shinobi who earned admittance into the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and later Akatsuki. He easily killed his former master, a member of the Seven Swordsmen's strongest generation while the man wielded Samehada against Kisame. He claimed to be the best Akatsuki member at capturing targets alive, proven when he successfully captured the Four-Tails' jinchuriki Roushi with little effort. He also overwhelmed Killer Bee, nearly capturing him while at full strength and could battle an entire elite team with diminished strength single-handedly. On separate occasions, Kisame proved to be more than a match for Guy (one of Konoha's top shinobi), forcing the latter to open six of the Eight Gates against only a 30% power clone, and seven gates against the real Kisame without his sword.

## Abilities and Equipment

**Water Style**: Kisame was a master of Water Style techniques, being able to alter an entire battlefield by create a large volume of water to give him the field advantage, and to use for attacks. Kisame's shark-like attributes carried over into techniques, for he even shaped his Water Style attacks into sharks. He could also use this skill as a means for transportation, riding inside of a water shark.

* **Water Style: Shark Bomb Jutsu**: Kisame shapes water into the form of a large shark and thrusting their hand forward, sends it hurtling towards the opponent at high-speeds, resulting in a powerful impact. He can also ride inside the water shark to dramatically increase their swimming speed.
	+ **Water Style: Five Hungry Sharks**: Kisame puts his hand on the surface of a body of water, and a shark made of water comes out of each finger to strike the opponent.
* **Water Clone Jutsu**: Kisame creates clones of himself that can function autonomously. They have significantly less chakra than he does.
* **Water Prison Jutsu**: Kisame traps enemies in a virtually inescapable sphere of water. Kisame (or a water clone) must keep a hand on the prison to maintain it.
* **Water Style: Exploding Water Shockwave**: Kisame generates an enormous amount of water and rides it on a wave at his opponents.
	+ **Water Style: Super Exploding Water Shockwave**: A more larger version of the original Exploding Water Shock Wave.
* **Water Style: Water Shark Missile**: Similar to Five Hungry Sharks, Kisame forms water into a single shark and sends it after his opponent.
* **Water Prison Shark Dance**: Kisame creates a gigantic dome of water around himself, increasing his home field advantage against stronger opponents and forcing them to battle him underwater.

**Samehada Chakra Drain**: Kisame uses his sword to drain any excessive amounts of chakra (such as a bijuu's chakra) from his opponent. There is a limit to how much it can drain.

**Samehada Regeneration**: Kisame uses the energy Samehada drains to regenerate from injuries. Limited by how much energy Samehada has drained.

**Samehada Fusion**: Kisame fuses with Samehada, becoming a large shark-like monster which combines his abilities with that of his sword.

**Summoning Jutsu**: In keeping with his shark theme, Kisame had shown the ability to summon sharks for both battle and message sending purposes, and can combine the one summoned shark with multiple water sharks as a way to conceal the messenger shark location and allow it to escape. He also used them with the Water Prison Jutsu to commit suicide.
