Name: Samehada (Shark Skin)
Rank: S-Ranked
Type: Sword
Range:
Beneath Wraps:
Blade is 177.8 cm/5 ft. 10 in. - The handle is 91.44 cm/3 ft.

Exposed:
The blade length and handle remain the same, however it becomes a beast like form that at the hilt is the same as the beginning. The tip of the blade is now 5 foot wide and reveals a mouth like figure.

Capabilities: As the blade is made up of scales, it inflicts injuries through shredding or shaving what it comes into contact with, rather than just cutting the object in question. This flaying effect is similar to a shark's skin, hence the sword's name. While it ordinarily remains rigid, Samehada's hilt is able to stretch and bend to great extent (10 Meters), allowing the weapon to be used like a flail. To supplement the blade's offensive capabilities, it is able to extend its scales to spikes (Up to 3 Meters). It is also able to protrude spikes (4 cm) from its handle. Samehada shares a symbiotic relationship with its wielder, similar to that of the kikaichū. It consumes chakra like meals, the chakra comes from fights, wherein it absorbs the chakra of the opponent instead (10 Chakra Per Swing With In 3 cm). Such an ability allows Samehada to literally slice through an opponent's techniques, in spite of whether the chakra has been transformed or not, and even prevent them from being performed by absorbing all of the necessary chakra, before preparations can be completed. While the ability to absorb chakra is useful in defeating opponents, it is also beneficial to the user as well. Samehada has the ability to transfer the chakra it has absorbed to the wielder by partially fusing with them, so it can be used to either revitalise the wielders chakra and stamina or instantly heal even fatal injuries (Can Heal 100 Health once per Thread/Can be used to avoid death). This makes the user of this sword extremely difficult to defeat conventionally.


Appearance:
Though mostly wrapped in bandages, Samehada's construction is atypical in that its actual blade is comprised from a series of downward-facing scales running along the entirety of its length until its hilt, at the base of which is a small skull. Samehada grows larger in proportion to the amount of chakra it absorbs, causing its scales to become so long that they ultimately resemble shark fins and its mouth, located at the tip of the blade, to become even more pronounced. Keeping Samehada wrapped in bandages apparently helps to inhibit this growth to a certain extent.

Description: Samehada is unique for being a sentient weapon that gains nourishment from the chakra of others and as such, the blade is at its happiest when engorged with chakra that possesses both a distinctive and pleasant flavour. Being capable of conscious thought, Samehada chooses its own user, an exclusive process that has often resulted in it being thought of as notoriously picky. If someone it disapproves of attempts to wield it, spikes protrude from the handle in order to force them to release their grasp, at which point Samehada will make efforts to return to its chosen owner.
