Gurgle, gurgle… Blood-red chakra bubbles began to emerge from Killer Bee's dark skin, transforming into the transparent form of a Tailed Beast Cloak!
Kisame immediately sensed something was wrong. "Even fused with Samehada, just by touching him, I should be continuously absorbing his chakra. So how is he producing this much chakra!?"
Crack! Crack!
"Wei~~!" Killer Bee flexed his arms, his muscles swelling as the chains binding him snapped one by one!
Kisame's expression turned grim. "Could it be… Samehada is willingly giving him chakra!?"
Rustle, rustle, rustle!
As if fate were piling on, Kisame's body was suddenly rejected by Samehada. He was flung backward as the sword forcefully separated from him, breaking their fusion!
Kisame gritted his teeth. "Damn it… That traitorous sword even took my chakra with it as it left!"
Whoosh! Without chakra to sustain it, the Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave began to rapidly collapse!
Raikage and Killer Bee were freed from their watery prison!
"Huff, huff…" Raikage greedily inhaled the fresh air.
Samehada happily scurried over to Killer Bee, transferring the chakra it had absorbed from Kisame into him.
Killer Bee stroked the sword, which was now nuzzling against him like a pet, and hummed a tune:
"Yo~ yo~ life's a stroke of luck~! From now on, you're my Godkid~!"
Kisame was filled with a mix of emotions. "Samehada… You really like his chakra that much, huh!?"
Killer Bee slung Samehada onto his back, breaking into a dance as he rapped:
"Betrayal in the afternoon~ Shark's lonely tune~ Sashimi's fresh blood~ Twilight's melancholy gloom~ YO~ YO~ I've still got the moves, my charm shines through~! Eight-Tails Killer Bee, that's who! Yeah! Ah! The battle's just begun, but it's almost done~!"
Seeing his lively younger brother, Raikage smirked. "Hmph, you're as restless as ever… Bee! Use that move! It's time to end this!!"
"OK~! Brother~~!!"
Boom! The Tailed Beast Chakra around Killer Bee instantly condensed, forming a dense crimson cloak on his body. From his back, massive skeletal structures began to emerge!
Crackle! On the other side, Raikage's Lightning Armor reignited, surging with terrifying energy that made the air itself tremble!
Darui observed the scene and remarked, "Without his life-saving sword, facing the strongest combo attack of the Cloud's AB Brothers… Hoshigaki Kisame, this is the end for you."
"Wei~~~!!"
"Hah!!"
Raikage and Killer Bee adjusted their positions, then charged at Kisame from opposite directions, launching a devastating pincer attack!
—*Double Lariat!*
Kisame, knowing his fate was sealed, closed his eyes and sighed. "A traitor will always be betrayed in the end. I guess I can't escape that fate either. Itachi-san… Did you feel the same before your death?"
Slash!!
But just at that critical moment, a hand suddenly shot out from the ground, grabbing Kisame's ankle and yanking him downward!
—*Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique!*
"Eh…!?"
From the perspective of the charging Raikage and Killer Bee, their target suddenly vanished. However, it was too late to stop their momentum!
Boom!!! Boom!!!
The two brothers, in their respective powerful modes, ended up locking arms around each other's necks with full force!
"Ugh…!!"
"Awooo…!!"
The scene that unfolded defied description—two massive, muscular men frozen in a comical embrace before flipping over and crashing to the ground, sliding and twitching in a heap.
Darui instinctively clutched his throat. "Man, this isn't something to joke about…"
Meanwhile, Kisame, who had narrowly escaped death, was now buried up to his neck in the ground. He chuckled. "I see… This technique really does make it look like I've been decapitated. Well then, whoever you are hiding underground, it's about time you showed yourself, don't you think?"
Rustle, rustle, rustle!
The earth parted, and a blond, cloaked young man rose from the dirt, standing tall amidst the earthy scent.
He smiled. "Although this isn't my usual style of entrance, caution is necessary when dealing with the Cloud's AB Brothers…"
The sight of the newcomer left Kisame stunned. "It's you?"
Naruto Uzumaki turned to face him with a grin. "Kisame-san, long time no see. I assume I don't need to introduce myself, do I?"
