A cold voice, like Death's whisper, sounded from Kisame's rear flank!
Kakashi! He appeared like a ghost in the blind spot of Kisame's vision, where he was least able to react!
His entire body blazed with dazzling blue-white lightning. His right hand, condensed with destructive energy, stabbed straight toward the charred wound on Kisame's right shoulder—the spot torn open by lightning after he had blocked Might Guy's attack!
