Furious at Uchiha Sasuke for Falling Short

Kisame swung Samehada at Naruto, but Naruto blocked it with a strange azure sword!

Bang!

The azure sword hardly looked solid. Made of countless tiny Wind Blades, it was a genuine Wind Sword formed with Wind Release.

It worked on the same principle as the Chidori Sharp Spear Sasuke would later form with Lightning Release: Chidori.

But the Wind Sword vanished the next instant. Samehada had absorbed the Chakra within it.

Surprise crossed Naruto's face, followed by a well-timed hint of panic.

"Heh, you're no ordinary brat. Forming a sword with Wind Release? Not bad. But my Samehada can devour Chakra!"

Kisame spoke smugly. Samehada was his pride and joy, and he loved seeing the shock on his enemies' faces when it drained their Chakra.

"Impossible!" Naruto shouted stubbornly. He formed another Wind Sword and swung it at Kisame!

Kisame raised Samehada to meet it again, certain he was about to see that shocked look once more.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Just before the Wind Sword reached Samehada, it burst apart. A mass of Wind Blades flew straight at Kisame's and Itachi's faces.

If those hit, Kisame's shark face would get quite the makeover!

Unfortunately, Kisame and Itachi were both Kage Level. They reacted at once, dodging backward and to either side.

But Naruto could control the Wind Blades' paths. Despite their quick reactions, several blades still cut their faces, sending blood flying.

Naruto pressed his advantage. Holding his hands like blades, he slashed them forward in a cross.

The next instant, more than a thousand tiny Wind Blades appeared from thin air and swept toward the two men.

Kisame held Samehada in front of him, and it devoured all the Chakra in the Wind Blades.

Itachi spat out a fireball. It squeezed through the doorway into the room and hurtled
