Kisame suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his pupils trembled, and he looked in disbelief at Shisui, who had stabbed a Kunai into his abdomen.
Those fiery red eyes and mysterious aura. So, this is the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.
"Hiss—"
Shisui smoothly pulled out the Kunai, and a trail of blood splashed on the ground. He stared coldly at Kisame.
"Give up. You're no match for me. If you tell me Akatsuki's goal now, I'll spare your life!"
"Cough... What amazing confidence, but you're dreaming!"
Kisame endured the pain in his abdomen and distanced himself from Shisui. His hands quickly formed seals. The Uchiha clan was good at Fire Release, while his Water Release could counter it.
Since it was difficult to deal with Shisui the Body Flicker in close combat, he would compete in terms of Chakra. He was confident that he wouldn't lose in terms of Chakra quantity.
"Water Release: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave"
Kisame took a deep breath and forcefully spat out a wave from his mouth, instantly forming a huge ellipsoidal water prison that trapped Shisui.
In this water domain, only he could move freely.
"It's not over yet! Take this Thousand-Food Shark!"
Suddenly, a thousand man-eating sharks emerged in the water domain summoned by Kisame. The sharks' blue skin glided rapidly through the water, looking as cold as the scythes of the Shinigami.
With their sharp teeth and incredible speed, Shisui had wounds on his body after just a few exchanges.
Damn it! He wasn't good at fighting underwater, especially against such a tough opponent!
Underwater, both his Ninjutsu and Taijutsu would be greatly weakened, and even breathing was a problem. If he couldn't break this jutsu quickly, he might suffocate to death.
"How about that, Shisui Uchiha? You can't win in your unskilled domain, can you?"
Kisame was very satisfied with his masterpiece. Shisui Uchiha was a powerful rival, worthy of his efforts.
As the sharks swam, Shisui's blood spread in the water. The sharks became more and more excited, while Shisui had less and less oxygen in his lungs. He grabbed his throat painfully. If this continued, it would really be over!
"Damn it! Mangekyō Sharingan, Susanoo"
A giant green Chakra figure forcefully isolated a certain space from the surrounding water area. Inside the space, Shisui vomited uncontrollably. Violent coughing made him close one eye as he happily breathed in the air.
"Tsk!"
Kisame's clicking of the tongue was extremely loud. Although he hadn't expected to trap Shisui Uchiha with just this one move, the way he broke it was too easy.
And what the hell was this green Chakra giant in front of him? Just the amount of Chakra was comparable to his own.
"Be happy. This is the first time I've used Susanoo against an enemy from another village. It's a powerful jutsu that combines offense and defense, but it consumes a lot of Chakra. Let's end this quickly!"
Shisui recovered from the choking water. His expression was firm, and his eyes looking at Kisame were filled with caution. It seemed that this man's strength was not to be underestimated.
He commanded Susanoo's massive body. The giant figure drew the great sword from its waist and swung it down at Kisame Hoshigaki. A green light flashed, cutting a beautiful straight line across the sky.
"Clang----"
There was no expected sensation of splitting the opponent's body in half. Instead, Kisame Hoshigaki was under the great sword of Susanoo, brandishing Samehada to confront the green - hued blade.
In the contest of Chakra quantity, he has never lost to anyone!
"Oh, you're really something. Let's see how long you can hold on!"
The attacks rained down like a tempest. Kisame glanced sideways at his Samehada Great Sword. At this moment, it was sticking out its "tongue" like a glutton who had had its fill, and its form had swollen a bit, looking much larger than before.
Everything has its limits. Although the amount of Chakra that the Samehada Great Sword could devour was finite, Shisui Uchiha's Chakra would never be enough to fill Samehada's "appetite".
The battle in front of them was reaching a fever pitch. But if they kept going like this, Kisame was even certain that he would be the one to fall first.
Because Shisui Uchiha of the Uchiha clan hadn't unleashed his most powerful Genjutsu move yet. Currently, Kisame was already at a disadvantage, not to mention the number - one Genjutsu in the ninja world.
As Kisame was wracking his brains with no answer in sight, the great sword descended from the sky. It grazed the corner of his sleeve and landed, splitting the earth in two.
Seeing such a fierce attack, Kisame knew that if he were hit, he would probably be torn apart.
Now was not the time to think about Genjutsu. He should go all out. Since the rival was holding back, he should seize this opportunity!
"Samehada·Chakra Devour, Samehada·Chakra Transfer"
Samehada absorbed Susanoo's green Chakra and transferred it to Kisame. The hideous wounds on his body were healing at a visible rate.
Shisui, inside Susanoo, frowned slightly. That strange great sword was making it increasingly difficult for him to maintain Susanoo.
A great sword capable of devouring Chakra was truly rare. If this continued, he might really lose. It was time to get serious.
Years of battlefield experience made Kisame's hair stand on end instantly. He looked at Shisui Uchiha in front of him in horror. Those fiery red eyes seemed to have a fatal allure, forcing people to fix their gazes on them.
"Damn it!"
Kotoamatsukami, his most powerful Genjutsu, was forcibly cast on Kisame.
The lively person just a moment ago became numb. His eyes were blank as he stared at Shisui in front of him.
"Answer my question. What on earth did your Akatsuki Organization come to Konoha for specifically?"
"For the Jinchūriki, Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine - Tailed Fox Jinchūriki. Pain told us to capture him!"
"Naruto?! After capturing the Jinchūriki, what are you going to do next? Why do you want to extract the tailed beasts' Chakra from the Jinchūriki?"
"To create the pain - free world that Pain envisioned. For that, we need the massive Chakra from the One - Tailed to the Nine - Tailed beasts."
"What's the specific method? How many tailed beasts' Chakra have you acquired so far?"
"The specific method is only known to the leader, Pain. However, we've already obtained the chakra of the One - Tailed to Eight - Tailed tailed beasts. Only Naruto Uzumaki remains!"
Under the control of Kotoamatsukami, Kisame was extremely obedient and no longer showed his previous irritable demeanor. In response to Shisui's questions, he held nothing back.
But Shisui frowned deeply. It seemed that this young leader, Pain, was no ordinary figure.
