Might Guy vs. Kisame

"Akatsuki has arrived in Konoha!"

After saying that, Obito's figure vanished into space.

Orochimaru looked at the Obito who had just appeared, every hair on his body standing on end. His instincts told him that he was absolutely no match for that man!

He even sensed a faintly familiar aura from him.

Obito's existence kept Orochimaru from acting rashly.

After a long while, Orochimaru asked Sasuke, "Heh heh heh, Sasuke-kun, who was that person just now?"

Sasuke casually replied, "My little brother."

Sasuke then left, leaving Orochimaru standing there in disarray.

He was feeling rather troubled. If that masked man could hide within the void, then Orochimaru had no way of knowing whether the mysterious masked man was at Sasuke's side right now!

That meant Orochimaru seemingly could no longer take Sasuke's body!

Orochimaru felt as though everything he had done was about to go down the drain.

Obito's existence had dealt Orochimaru a crushing blow!

It made Orochimaru begin planning even more carefully for his future attempt to seize Sasuke's body!

Because one careless mistake would lead to failure!

Two Akatsuki members had arrived in Konoha Village.

Both wore enormous straw hats that concealed their faces.

One was tall and broad, carrying a huge bandaged weapon on his back.

The other was comparatively slender. They were Uchiha Shisui and Kisame.

Shisui could not see the road, but relying on his memory, he asked Kisame, "Kisame, is there a dango shop ahead?"

"Yes, Mr. Shisui," Kisame replied.

Originally, Kisame had been deeply dissatisfied with the organization assigning him a disabled partner.

It would have been one thing if he were missing an arm or an eye, but he had lost both eyes.

He could not see anything at all.

Kisame had tried to give Shisui a show of force, but faced with that emerald-green chakra, Kisame had ultimately yielded.

He remembered what Ao had once said.

"Of all the formidable enemies I have faced, that flash of green chakra is something I will never forget!"

Only then did Kisame recall that Shisui's nickname was "Shisui of the Body Flicker."

After that, Kisame treated Shisui with great respect.

Shisui bought two boxes of three-colored dango. It was Itachi's favorite dessert.

At that moment, someone else was also buying three-colored dango.

She was a beautiful girl.

Uchiha Izumi said to the shopkeeper, "Boss, two boxes of three-colored dango, with extra sugar."

While buying the dango, Uchiha Izumi was also scrutinizing the two figures.

Black robes with red clouds... I've never seen people dressed like that before...

But why did one of them seem somewhat familiar?

As though sensing Izumi's gaze, Kisame grew displeased. Shisui said to him, "Kisame, don't make a move and draw the attention of Konoha's higher-ups."

Kisame nodded.

Upon hearing Shisui's voice, Izumi's mouth fell open in surprise. "Brother Shisui?"

Shisui frowned slightly. Her voice sounded familiar, but he could not remember who she was. "You are?"

Izumi said excitedly, "Brother Shisui, it's me, Izumi! Uchiha Izumi!"

As someone who had awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, Uchiha Izumi was naturally a name Shisui remembered. But what truly made him remember Izumi's name was her ambiguous relationship with Itachi.

Uchiha Shisui smiled. "Izumi, I didn't expect to run into you at a time like this. Is the Uchiha clan doing well in the village now?"

Speaking of that,

Izumi almost wanted to cry. The Uchiha clan's current prosperity in the village could not have been achieved without Shisui's sacrifice.

For the sake of the village and the clan, Danzo had dug out his eyes, and he had been poisoned with Salamander venom.

Even the Uchiha clan's first victory in its conflict with the village had come because of Shisui's eyes.

Izumi said, "Brother Shisui, the clan is doing very well now. The elders are also behaving themselves, and the clan has reached a peace agreement with the village higher-ups. Everyone in the clan has obtained what they wanted.

"But Brother Shisui, will you come back?"

Shisui smiled faintly. "I can't go back."

"I'm a rogue ninja. The slash on my forehead protector can never be erased. Besides, Akatsuki is a good home."

This time, Shisui had brought Kisame to Konoha.

They had two missions.

The first was that Shisui wanted to return and see the Uchiha clan's current situation. He also wanted to see Itachi, to find out whether, without him around, Itachi still kept everything buried in his heart without saying a word.

The second matter was to investigate the tailed beasts.

The Two-Tails' jinchuriki had disappeared three years ago, and there had been no news since.

Nagato needed to know where the Two-Tails had gone.

Although Obito knew that Sasuke was now the Two-Tails' jinchuriki, he had not told Nagato.

Therefore, Nagato did not know the Two-Tails' whereabouts.

Nagato had sent Kisame and Shisui to investigate whether the Two-Tails was in Konoha.

"Youth lies in exercise!"

"Spilled sweat is the radiance of youth!"

Just then!

Two green figures raced past at high speed!

They were Might Guy and Rock Lee, carrying out their daily training by running laps around Konoha.

The dust kicked up by their sprint swept over Kisame, dirtying his clothes and making him furious!

Yet Might Guy and Rock Lee actually ran back all the way in reverse.

Might Guy marched in place as he narrowed his eyes at Shisui and Kisame.

Might Guy looked at Shisui. "You seem a little familiar..."

Then Might Guy turned to Kisame. "You... take my kick first!"

"Leaf Great Whirlwind!"

Might Guy suddenly kicked at Kisame. The tremendous impact blasted the straw hat off Kisame's head, revealing the rogue ninja mark on his forehead!

Might Guy said excitedly, "Just as I thought! You're no good person. You really are a rogue ninja!"

Kisame blocked Might Guy's kick, but the immense force still sent him flying ten meters away. He planted Samehada into the ground to steady himself.

Kisame looked at the green watermelon head before him. He had not expected such a skinny body to unleash such astonishing power!

Kisame grumbled inwardly.

Why were he and Mr. Shisui wearing the same clothes, yet this green watermelon head only attacked him?

Might Guy kicked at Kisame again.

There was no chakra fluctuation at all. It was merely the power contained within his body, yet one Great Whirlwind kick sent Kisame flying once more!

Seeing that neither of his kicks had inflicted any obvious damage, Might Guy said, "I didn't expect you to be this capable, but this is as far as you go!"

Kisame gripped Samehada. Its scales instantly burst through the bandages, then it swung toward Might Guy!

Kisame laughed sinisterly. "Heh heh heh, watermelon head, you picked the wrong person to provoke!"

"Remember my name. I'm Hoshigaki Kisame!"
