Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

He was well aware of the power of the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) as a ninja from Kirigakure, but the opponent's Shikotsumyaku seemed somewhat strange.

Faster and stronger than normal!

Before Kisame could react, a series of thrusts had already landed.

Kisame dodged in a sorry state, but behind him—

Neji instantly arrived at his destination.

Roll your eyes!

Bagua·Empty Palm!

Kisame dodged again, but at that moment, another attack came...

In just a few breaths, he didn't even have time to form hand seals, as he was constantly dodging the attacks from the four opponents.

If Samehada were here, we wouldn't be in such a sorry state!

Kisame was filled with resentment.

His Samehada had been stolen; otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to worry too much about the attacks of at least three people, and could have just focused on Kimimaro in front of him.

Unlike now...

He simply couldn't handle it.

At this moment, Kisame had only one thought in his mind.

Where is Itachi?

Come back and save them!

As he was thinking, he sensed a powerful surge of chakra rising from afar.

This is Itachi's chakra!

not good!

Kisame understood instantly.

It's not just him.

The other side's target is both of them.

Konoha and Kirigakure have joined forces, but their attempt to gather intelligence has led them right into a trap.

wrong!

Kisame's mind went blank, then a possibility came to mind—

Could it be that Itachi betrayed him?

He came to gather intelligence, but in reality, he had conspired with Konoha to bring him here to his death, while Itachi himself would return to Konoha's embrace.

Was Itachi really a traitor?

Kisame's thoughts were racing; at this moment, he couldn't care less about anything else.

The next moment...

Kisame, who had been standing still, turned into a cloud of foam.

Water body.

then.

Water Release·Big Explosive Water Wave!

A surging tide rushed down from the trees, and the four immediately retreated, but...

Once in the air, Neji's gaze sharpened, and he unleashed a series of incredibly fast finger attacks at the trees above.

Acupressure from a distance!

Kisame, who was using ninjutsu, was unable to dodge effectively. Even though he avoided most of the finger strikes, he was still hit by several ki attacks.

Also.

Then ten more bones flew over.

Kisame dared not jump into the air—

In front of a master, jumping into the air will only make you a sitting duck.

Any ninja with some experience would deliberately avoid it.

however.

After being struck in acupoints, his chakra was affected, and the flowing water waves created an opening.

Mei Terumi instantly lunged upwards, exhaling acidic mist from her mouth.

but.

The huge wave rolled back and formed a semi-circular water sphere.

Kisame plunged headfirst into it.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood in the water—

This injury was caused by Neji's finger strike.

He never expected that the Hyuga clan boy would pose a greater threat than the others.

Acupressure points applied remotely.

"This is terrifying. Has the Hyuga clan grown to this extent?"

Kisame was deep in thought in the water.

of course.

What's more important is——

What exactly happened to Itachi? Did he betray me?

Kisame was pondering this, summoning a bunch of sharks to protect himself while he worked on an escape strategy.

however.

The next moment, a figure appeared in his line of sight.

That is?

Yagyu Chiba!

Kisame's pupils contracted, and then he saw Chiba holding a Samehada in one hand and carrying a person in the other.

Uchiha Itachi!

At this moment, Uchiha Itachi, held in someone's hand, had lost his former glory.

he died?

Kisame is unbelievable.

In his view, Itachi was an extremely powerful genius, and there was no way he could have died here, but...

Konoha has indeed taken action.

Itachi was now lifeless, blood flowing from his mouth, looking utterly wretched.

Kisame looked down.

Mei Terumi used her skillful mist technique to corrode his water sphere.

Once acidity permeates the entire water sphere, both the shark and the shark itself will perish.

Kisame couldn't help but chuckle silently.

"Mr. Itachi, those who betray their friends will never have a good end. You were right. Neither of us got a good ending in the end."

Fragments of the past flashed through his mind.

Then, he thought of what was in front of him—

What we see before us may not only apply to them.

Kisame's eyes narrowed, then he coughed up a mouthful of blood, clasped his hands together, and a surge of chakra erupted from his palms.

The water sphere expanded outwards wildly.

The tailless tailed beast has revealed its true power!

Samehada writhed in Chiba's hands.

Chiba sealed it away and then looked into the water.

in fact……

Kisame has the Flying Thunder God mark on his body.

If he wanted to kill Kisame, he could do it instantly.

but.

Does anyone know if there are any White Zetsu around?

Itachi was a very important person to monitor, and he didn't believe that Obito had only planted one informant.

If the secret of the Flying Thunder God Mark were to be exposed, it would be as if he had lost a trump card.

Thinking this through, Chiba had no intention of using Flying Thunder God Technique inside, but instead—

Gather chakra.

A knife!

The white fox is drawn from its sheath.

A dazzling blade of light slashed down into the water.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the entire water sphere shattered and broke apart.

Kisame hid on one of the half.
