"Danger, danger, danger!"
"Mr. Itachi, run!"
Kisame was practically shouting himself hoarse, his massive body bursting into a sudden sprint completely at odds with his size!
He was like a moving mountain!
He charged straight into Uchiha Jin's path, cutting him off!
Then, without a word, he hoisted Uchiha Itachi's slender, frail waist onto his thick arm, turned, and ran!

His head was so big—was it all filled with fish food?!
Then he looked toward Jin. He wasn't
