Kisame turned and left after completing the final step.
"Thank you for your hard work, Kisame." A figure slowly emerged from the shadows.
Startled Kisame immediately grabbed Samehada to prepare for a counterattack.
"I guessed he lowered his guard against you, his subordinate, and I was right."
"This guy is a traitor. From now on, you are the master of Samehada, and also my subordinate." The Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, slowly stepped forward.
[Kakuzu: Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! This dog-eat-dog, dog-on-dog turn is just too brilliant!]
[Rasa: It's a bit unbelievable. The one who betrayed his village's elite was actually the Fourth Mizukage. I really wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen the ending.]
[Karatachi Yagura: I didn't! I didn't!]
At this point, no matter how many excuses Karatachi Yagura, he could not convince anyone else. As the Mizukage, he actually sat idly by and watched his subordinates kill each other without intervening.
The Mizukage is really well done.
At this point, Kisame clearly didn't believe what the Fourth Mizukage said, "Your previous subordinate was killed by me right in front of you."
I really can't believe you.
"Until I am also wiped out by you, Fourth Mizukage!" Kisame didn't believe a word of the nonsense Karatachi Yagura.
"I know your character, so I trust you," the Fourth Mizukage said as he slowly stepped forward.
[Obito: Trust this guy's character? Is the Fourth Mizukage out of his mind? Who can trust someone who frequently kills their comrades?]
[Karatachi Yagura: I don't think I would do such a thing; letting my subordinates fight amongst themselves is a very dangerous sign.]
Karatachi Yagura was also very confused, wondering why he would do such a thing in the future; it didn't make sense.
At this point, Yagura continued, "Only you, who have carried out countless despicable missions for the country and the village, and who have betrayed others countless times to complete those missions, know that this world is nothing but an illusion."
At this moment, Kisame's emotions also began to surge. He had understood this from the very beginning when he killed his comrades; as a Mist Ninja, he was forced to kill his own kind.
So who am I, friend or foe? What is my purpose? What is my stance?
Where am I going? Where can I find peace?
These are things that Kisame has been thinking about ever since he first killed his comrades.
At this moment, all Kisame could feel was the falseness of this world.
"Then I will free you from the suffering of this false world; I will build you a place to belong." A dark figure emerged from behind Karatachi Yagura.
[Rasa: Is there anyone else?]
[Ao: How could there possibly be anyone other than the Fourth Mizukage?]
At this moment, Kisame was also watching the mysterious person in front of him with great vigilance, his hands already tightly gripping Samehada.
Kisame will run away immediately if things go wrong.
"Who are you?" Kisame asked cautiously.
"Let's start with this country. You've always fought to kill your comrades, but from now on, you'll fight as one of my comrades."
The mysterious man spoke slowly, as if he knew Kisame very well.
"You seem to trust me a lot, but I don't even know who you are," Kisame said warily.
But the mysterious man simply opened his eyes.
"An eye shining in the darkness... I see."
"So it was you, the big shot I always thought was the Fourth Mizukage. I never imagined you were controlling the Fourth with your Sharingan. This world really is all an illusion." Kisame gave a bitter smile.
In that case, what has been the purpose of my mission all along?
"However, who exactly are you, possessing the eye power to control the fourth generation of the Three-Tails Jinchūriki?"
"Uchiha, Madara!"
[Kakashi: You're Obito, aren't you? I recognized you the moment I saw that Sharingan.]
[Obito: What?! How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?]
[Minato Namikaze: He does Madara Uchiha that Obito disguised himself as in the previous compilation; in fact, they're practically identical.]
[Minato Namikaze: But why did Obito disguise himself as the Fourth Mizukage?]
[Karatachi Yagura: Shouldn't I be asking you this, Obito Uchiha Konoha?]
[Hozuki Mangetsu: I remember now, wasn't it Rin who died in our Kirigakure? Obito Uchiha, you wouldn't choose this as your revenge, would you?]
[Lin: Oh, Obito?]
It's quite possible. If Obito knew that it was the people of Kirigakure who were secretly using Rin as Jinchūriki, he probably would have done the same.
[Kakashi: But I remember when Rin died in the previous roundup, it was just me and the Kirigakure Anbu.]
No, looking at the footage, I was unconscious at the time and had no idea what happened afterward. Maybe Obito really was there.
[The scene suddenly shook; it turned out that Kisame had bitten off his own tongue.]
He regained consciousness immediately.
This action surprised the people around them, who had never imagined that the other party's willpower was so strong.
Even so, they didn't want to leak any information.
Is this still the same Kisame Hoshigaki often betrayed his teammates in Kirigakure?
"That's the real world, without any falsehoods. I want to see it too." Kisame struggled to break free from Yamato's Wood Release shackles.
Kisame tore apart the Wood Release shackles that could absorb the opponent's Chakra.
"You fool who doesn't know what's good for him." Might Guy immediately threw a punch, ready to deliver another blow.
"Please make sure to capture him alive; you won't get another chance like this," said Aoba Yamashiro from the side.
But Kisame won't give them that chance.
"Water Prison Technique!"
The massive torrent of water completely enveloped Kisame's body, and Might Guy was unable to break through it immediately.
"Summoning Technique!"
Kisame summoned his summoning beast, a shark, once again.
"Don't worry, no matter how powerful he is, he's already at his wit's end. I'll catch him." Yamato pulled out his wooden pillar, intending to restrain the other party once again.
"Mr. Itachi, you're right. Only when you're on the verge of death can you truly see yourself."
"Mr. Itachi, did you finally see yourself clearly as you faced death?"
"Now it seems that it's not entirely true to say I'm beyond help." With a command, countless sharks began to devour Kisame's body.
Soon, Kisame's blood stained the Water Prison red. It was unimaginable that Kisame Hoshigaki Akatsuki missing-nin, Kirigakure end up like this.
They would rather sacrifice themselves than reveal Akatsuki's information.
"He knew he couldn't escape our grasp, so he chose to summon a shark to devour himself," Aoba Yamashiro remarked.
"Kisame Hoshigaki, a member of the Akatsuki strong enough to be Itachi's partner, known as the freak of Kirigakure! How could he end up like this?" Yamato exclaimed in shock.
"Such an enemy commands respect. Shinobi's value is determined by his death. Kisame Hoshigaki, I will remember him for the rest of my life." It was rare for the usually neurotic Might Guy to encounter someone he admired.
