Kisame Hoshigaki spread his sharklike mouth in a grin, baring his sharp teeth.
"At the organization meeting just now, the way Orochimaru, Kakuzu, and the others looked at you... they were like sharks that had caught the scent of blood."
"Hmph!"
Obito Uchiha snorted, full of disdain.
Although he had lost to Uchiha Minamoto time and again, only to keep fighting, and now even his [Kamui] dimension had been stolen...
