Clang!
Bang!
Unlike the others who had entered calmly, both fighters made a fierce entrance this time.
They both landed in combat stances, staring at each other with fighting spirit.
Snap! Guy swept out a hand, then took a martial arts stance facing Kisame.
Kisame performed the Summoning Technique, summoning a large sword from a scroll and resting it on his shoulder.
"Do we need to introduce ourselves again?" Kisame asked Guy with a toothy grin.
"Of course! We have to announce our names before a match!" Guy declared loudly. "Might Guy, the Blue Beast of the Hidden Leaf!"
"The Blue Beast, huh..." Kisame chuckled. "I'm Kisame Hoshigaki. You should still remember my name."
"Of course! Don't worry, I'd never forget the name of a comrade who fought by my side!"
Guy gave Kisame a thumbs-up. "Still, having to settle things with a former comrade so soon-this really is exciting!"
"Hmph..." Kisame curled his lip. "Don't get the wrong idea. We only worked together because we had no choice. I'm a ninja from Kirigakure, not your comrade."
"How are we not comrades?" Guy pointed his thumb at himself. "You're a shark, and I'm a beast. Isn't that perfect?"
"...Pfft."
Guy's voice was loud enough to reach the stands.
Ameyuri, who had been feeling rather bored, couldn't hold back her laughter at his words.
"That Guy..." Asuma covered his face, looking as though he couldn't bear to watch.
Kakashi and Xue Ge leaned against the railing, turned sideways to watch the battlefield.
"...I have no idea what you're talking about."
Kisame scratched his head, then slammed his large sword into the ground.
"Let's stop wasting time, shall we? Let's fight!"
"Is that so? Looks like you're in a hurry. In that case-"
Guy's expression turned serious. "Here I come!"
Boom!
Guy
