As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yu flashed behind Kisame and knocked him unconscious in the same way before he could react.
Beside them, Samehada's clacking abruptly stopped, not because it was no longer afraid, but because it had fainted from fright.
With that, the Akatsuki had been wiped out.
The Deva Path had been destroyed by Su Yu, while the other five Paths had been reduced to ash by Sasori's ultimate move. Of the remaining Akatsuki members, some were unconscious, some had lost their bodies, and some were dead.
