Kisame's Weapon -- Samehada

[Hoshigaki Kisame]

• Samehada   鮫肌
  Shark Skin
  
  Kisame gained Samehada after he killed his master, the previous owner. He took the blade for his own and gained the position of one of the Seven Swordsman of the Mist along with it. Together they confront many shinobi and the sword eventually landed Kisame with the title "Tailed Beast without a Tail". Because they were together for so long their chakra signatures became identical and this allowed him to conceal himself inside of it, preventing detection from any sensors.
  
  Appearance: Samehada is a large, several foot long sword that's kept wrapped in bandages in entirety except for the hilt. If unwrapped one would see that it's composed of lots of scales that run along the "blade" up to the hilt. At the top of the hilt is a small skull. When it absorbs chakra, it grows in size. The scales then become so long that they resemble shark fins. It has a mouth at the tip of the "blade".
  
  Personality: Samehada is a rather unique sword. It seems to have a "mind" of its own. It feeds off of other people's chakra as "nourishment". It becomes rather happy when it's "full" on chakra which contained a "pleasant" taste. It doesn't, however, like fire-type chakra since it's too hot. It chooses its owner on its own and is quite picky about who it chooses. If it is touched by someone it does not approve it spike-like scales come out of the handle to make them let go.
  
  Abilities: Samehada has multiple abilities and natural effects. One of these would be shredding/shaving whatever it touches because of its scales, instead of just cutting it. The hilt is able to stretch and bend to such an extent that it can even be used as a flail. It consumes the chakra of its owner though during battles it takes in the chakra of the opponents. This allows it to practically "cut through" an opponent's technique, even if the chakra hasn't been transformed, and can even prevent them from being performed if it absorbs all of the chakra it requires before the technique is finished. It cannot absorb surrounding/"ambient" chakra. The chakra has to be visible in some way or direct contact has to be made.
  
  In a way it is like a sensor, seeing as it prefers to go after those with large chakras.
  
  It can transfer the absorbed chakra to Kisame by fusing with them. This can heal injuries and/or replenish chakra reserves. Kisame can take this fusion even further and merge totally with the sword. It makes him become more shark-like and grow webbed hands and fins. With these he can move through water quickly. He also receives some of its abilities while merged with it, making him able to cause spikes to come from its body and absorb chakra when making direct contact.
