Baki was no pushover either. He shot back unhappily:
"Who's going to embarrass whom is still up in the air!!"
"Then we'll see the results."
Kisame Hoshigaki was the type who would never waste time talking if he could fight instead. When you ran into someone like him, he would probably already be charging at you with his greatsword before you had even processed what was happening.
What was going on? The trash talk hadn't even started, and they were already fighting?
"Then let's begin."
The air between the two was thick with tension. Ronglin smiled and glanced at Granny Chiyo, and the two left the spot together, heading farther away.
"Hehe, here I come."
Kisame Hoshigaki was considerate enough to give a smiling warning, but his good intentions only made Baki frown. He secretly wondered whether Kisame Hoshigaki was plotting something.
As he mulled it over, Baki took out a kunai and gripped it tightly in his right hand.
Both sides prepared for battle. Baki secretly sized Kisame Hoshigaki up. He knew Kisame Hoshigaki was not someone to be trifled with, but he had no choice but to fight now.
Whether for himself, for the village, or for the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, he had to step up. There was only one word for it: fight!
"So fast!!!"

"Hehe~~~"
Samehada, wrapped in bandages, flashed with white light as it cleaved down at him.
Clang!!!
Baki's expression turned grave as he raised his right hand like lightning to block Kisame
