As Deidara and Tobi launched their attack, the Akatsuki Organization officially began its war against Konoha. But Konoha was clearly not their only target.
Almost at the same time the war began on Konoha's side, Kumogakure was attacked as well. However, the target was not Moriyue, but Killer B.
Killer B had been wandering around the village in search of inspiration, carefree as a tourist. He held a skewer in one hand while gesturing and chanting "yo, yo, yo" with the other. It looked like his urge to create had struck again.

The man was tall, with vicious shark-like eyes, bluish skin, sharp teeth, and what appeared to be gills on his face. Killer B found him irritating at first sight. One look told him this guy was no good.
After locking eyes with Killer B, Kisame revealed an eerie smile. Samehada on his back twitched slightly, pointing at Killer B as if it had scented something delicious.
"Tch." Killer
