His partner turns out to be Itachi Uchiha, and he is Kisame Hoshigaki, a rogue shinobi from Kirigakure. Asuma and Kurenai confront them, and Kisame has fun striking with a bandage-wrapped sword that seems to shave away chakra instead of cutting. When Itachi takes Kakashi out with the Tsukuyomi, Kisame is about to finish him off, but Guy appears and drives him back with a kick. Kakashi reveals he knows about the Akatsuki and their interest in the fox, and the two intruders withdraw without forcing the fight.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-143","ep":"naruto-83","pos":143},{"h":"Samehada tastes the Nine-Tails","t":"Itachi and Kisame follow Jiraiya and Naruto to an inn. When Naruto opens the door, he finds the two of them. Sasuke arrives, charges his brother with the Chidori and is deflected effortlessly. Meanwhile, Kisame half-unwraps his sword, Samehada, which absorbs Naruto's chakra as soon as he tries to use it. Kisame offers to cut off his legs so he cannot escape, a brutality that becomes one of his traits. Jiraiya arrives in time, encloses the corridor in a toad's stomach and forces the two to escape by burning their way out with black flames. It is the first time Samehada is shown as a living weapon and not a mere sword.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-148","ep":"naruto-85","pos":148},{"h":"A borrowed body","t":"While the Akatsuki extract Shukaku, Kisame blocks Guy's team and is offended because Guy does not remember him, a joke repeated every time they cross paths. He floods the terrain with a giant wave, traps Neji, Lee and Tenten in water prisons and forces Guy to fight alone. Guy opens the sixth of the Eight Gates and defeats him with Morning Peacock, but the body left on the ground is not Kisame's: it was a shinobi used as a vessel, with a fraction of his chakra, just like the fake Itachi Naruto faces. The fight shows how far the Akatsuki go to hinder their pursuers without risking their members.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-260","ep":"shippuden-15","pos":260},{"h":"The guardian of the meeting","t":"Kisame captures the Four-Tails' jinchūriki on his own, and in his conversation with Itachi it is recalled that the Nine-Tails must be the last tailed beast to be sealed. When Sasuke sets out to find his brother, Kisame appears on the road to the old Uchiha hideout. He stops the members of Hebi and lets only Sasuke through, as Itachi had asked, so that no one interrupts that meeting. The scene shows the trust between the two partners: Kisame does not ask why Itachi wants to face his brother alone, he simply complies. Meanwhile, Tobi holds back the Konoha teams so they do not arrive in time either.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-380","ep":"shippuden-134","pos":380},{"h":"Against the Eight-Tails","t":"After Itachi's death, Tobi sends Kisame to capture the Eight-Tails. He finds him while Killer B is practicing rap with a companion and provokes him until the fight begins. Samehada absorbs the chakra of each of B's attacks, and when the jinchūriki draws on the Eight-Tails' power, Kisame fuses with his sword and takes on a shark form. He traps B in a gigantic dome of water and wears him down until he can finish him. When he tries to cut off his legs to carry him away, Samehada, fond of the Eight-Tails' chakra, turns against him. The Fourth Raikage arrives in time, and together with a recovered B they behead what appears to be Kisame's body.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-473","ep":"shippuden-208","pos":473},{"h":"Hidden in the sword","t":"Kisame's death was a ruse. The beheaded body was not his, and he had hidden inside Samehada to travel with B to the island where the Alliance is hiding Naruto and the Eight-Tails. There he gathers information about the war. When Naruto completes his training and learns to sense hostile intent, he detects his presence, and Kisame comes out of the sword to flee with what he knows. Guy and Aoba chase him to the sea, where Kisame hides a scroll with the data inside a shark. To stop him, Guy opens the Seventh Gate and unleashes Daytime Tiger against the Great Water Shark he summoned to protect himself.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-506","ep":"shippuden-250","pos":506},{"h":"An executioner who wanted the truth","t":"Defeated by Guy, Kisame is captured, and Aoba explores his memories. There his past in Kirigakure appears: a shinobi tasked with killing his own comrades so the village's secrets would not fall into enemy hands, until he became convinced the whole world lives on lies. His meeting with a man who introduced himself as Madara Uchiha and promised him a world without deceit also appears. Kisame wakes up biting his tongue, summons his sharks and lets himself be devoured so as to reveal nothing more. Guy, who until that day did not remember him, decides to honor him as a true shinobi, while a shark escapes with the scroll of information.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-508","ep":"shippuden-252","pos":508}],"facts":[{"k":"Estado","v":"Alive","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-139","pos":139},{"k":"Edad","v":"28–29","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-139","pos":139},{"k":"Afiliación","v":"Akatsuki (former Kirigakure shinobi)","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-143","pos":143},{"k":"Edad","v":"32","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-255","pos":255},{"k":"Estado","v":"Deceased","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-508","pos":508},{"k":"Cumpleaños","v":"March 18","lvl":0},{"k":"Altura","v":"195 cm","lvl":0},{"k":"Seiyū","v":"Tomoyuki Dan","lvl":0},{"k":"Doblaje latino","v":"René García","lvl":0}],"techniques":[{"name":"Samehada","kind":"tecnica","lvl":0,"article":"samehada","ch":"naruto-146","kindLabel":"Técnica","pos":146},{"name":"Water Style","kind":"naturaleza","lvl":1,"article":"suiton","ch":"naruto-256","kindLabel":"Naturaleza","pos":256},{"name":"Great Exploding Water Shockwave","kind":"tecnica","lvl":1,"article":"suiton","ch":"naruto-256","kindLabel":"Técnica","pos":256},{"name":"Water Prison","kind":"tecnica","lvl":1,"article":"suiton","ch":"naruto-257","kindLabel":"Técnica","pos":257},{"name":"Merging with Samehada","kind":"modo","lvl":1,"article":"samehada","ch":"naruto-471","kindLabel":"Modo","pos":471},{"name":"Shark water dome","kind":"tecnica","lvl":1,"article":"suiton","ch":"naruto-472","kindLabel":"Técnica","pos":472},{"name":"Hiding inside Samehada","kind":"tecnica","lvl":1,"article":"samehada","ch":"naruto-487","kindLabel":"Técnica","pos":487},{"name":"Great Shark Bullet","kind":"tecnica","lvl":1,"article":"suiton","ch":"naruto-506","kindLabel":"Técnica","pos":506},{"name":"Shark Summoning","kind":"invocacion","lvl":1,"article":"invocaciones","ch":"naruto-508","kindLabel":"Invocación","pos":508}],"quote":{"t":"It seems I wasn't such a bad guy after all.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-508","pos":508},"debut":{"ch":"naruto-139","ep":"naruto-80"},"databook":{"fuente":"Kisame Hoshigaki","sha":[4.5,4.5,2.5,3.5,5,4,5,3.5]}},"shizuma":{"intro":"Shizuma tries to restore a violent vision of Kirigakure with a new group of swordsmen.","history":"Shizuma tries to restore a violent vision of Kirigakure with a new group of swordsmen.
