Kisame smiled, every muscle in his body tensing as he prepared to tear into his prey like a shark.
"Before that, let me give you a meeting gift."
Uchiha Obito spoke coldly.
"Bzzzt—"
The three tomoe within his scarlet Sharingan suddenly spun.
Crash!
The sound of shattering glass rang out in Kisame's mind, and he clutched his forehead in pain.
"...So that's it. This scar on my body... that's how I got it?"
A moment later, Kisame raised his head, his shark-like eyes bloodshot and ready to devour someone.
Kisame stroked his abdomen. There was a hideous blade wound there that had long since scarred over, yet it was obvious that it had nearly pierced straight through his body!
"Even now, it still aches from time to time. So that man was the one who cut me? Saiki Yuu!"
Kisame's pupils suddenly contracted. Other than the bloodshot veins, there was no white left in his eyes.
He remembered everything.
During the Chunin Exams, Saiki Yuu, who had also been participating in the exams, had chased him down like a stray dog and nearly cleaved him in two with a single stroke.
No! Or rather, while Saiki Yuu was flattening the Forest of Death, he had simply cut Kisame down in passing.
Saiki Yuu had not taken him seriously at all!
He also remembered how, in order to survive, he had plastered those damned Little Red Flowers all over his face!
Humiliation! A humiliation even harder to accept than death!
Kisame's shark-like eyes were filled with bloodshot veins. His shark teeth ground constantly against one another, producing a teeth-grating sound.
Like a shark ready to devour someone!
"You understand what you need to do now, don't you?"
As Uchiha Obito looked at Kisame, he seemed to see his former self.
Saiki
