Kisame | Selected characters - hints Naruto Shippuden: UNS 3 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Kisame fights at a distance with his water jutsu. Thanks to his sword he can also handle himself well in close quarters combat.

Kisame's biggest weakness is his extreme slowness. His jutsus are not much faster either, which makes them easy to dodge or block.

It is noteworthy that his ninjutsu can be used in two modes. A quick tap casts a shark which dashes toward an opponent. If you hold the button, the character casts three sharks at once.

Everything changes though, upon entering the awakening. He then transforms into a shark-like creature, whose attack and movement speed is a few times higher.

His ninjutsu changes too. In awakening mode, he casts a bigger shark, which moves faster and deals higher damage than the standard one. Note also that the counter-attack in this mode summons sharks all around Kisame, which repel everything on their way. This is a bit similar to Neji's ninjutsu.
