Naruto Shippuden

What is that?

That's…

Guy's Eight Inner Gates attack… Hirudora!

Hirudora? That's a lame name for a jutsu.

Considering Guy Sensei's obsession with youth.

There's no time to nitpick!

The Hirudora has a wide blast radius, and it hits instantly.

Brace yourselves!

Don't move.

That jutsu…

It wasn't an Energy Bomb, was it?

And your blue aura…

Hirudora is not a chakra-based ninjutsu.

It is taijutsu.

It's just an ordinary punch, but it's a super fast punch.

A focused thrust of air pressure right at your opponent.

That compresses and spreads in an instant.

And this aura that envelops me is not chakra…

Those who open the Seventh Gate of Shock,

perspire blue sweat!

That's what I'm evaporating with my hot-blooded passion.

I thought that looked too small to be an Energy Bomb.

This is my third time fighting you.

But you still had something like this up your sleeve.

You probably don't remember me.

I thought I told you not to move.

The Man Named Kisame

I got to hand it to Bushier Brow Sensei

for bringing this guy down!

You're capable despite your thick looks, Bushier Brows…

But that blue sweat of yours, packs some pows.

If this goes well, I'll be able to extract Intel

about Akatsuki and its plans, as well as the identity of its leader.

I'm not as good as Inoichi, but I'll give it a try.

Here I go.

Now then…

Here comes the hard part…

Hoshigaki…

Won't you eat with us?

There's no need to be nice to me.

Hey, you heard him. Just leave him alone!

He doesn't like to rub shoulders with Cipher Corps eggheads like us.

We're on a joint mission.

Things like that don't matter!

Besides, we wouldn't have anything to talk about.

We're the brains. He's the brawn.

W-What's the big idea?

We need to set out immediately.

Hoshigaki…

About earlier… How about after the mission?

About having dinner.

Now listen, Kisame.

Guard the Cipher Corps and protect the encoded missive.

However, you must not allow our any member

of the Cipher Corps to fall into enemy hands.

Your mission is to guard the code, whatever it takes.

Do you understand what that means?

Run!

Surrender! You're completely surrounded.

There's no way you can win.

I know you.

You're that brilliant guy from

the Leaf Anbu's Torture and Interrogation Corps…

Want to fight?

Now's our chance. Run !

Capture them alive!

There are just too many to protect.

Keep going! Do not stop!

Help me…

What are you doing?

Hoshigaki, what do we do?

Hoshigaki?

W-What are you doing?!

However…

You must not allow any member of the Cipher Corps

to fall into enemy hands.

Your mission is to guard the code, whatever it takes.

Do you understand what that means?

Yes, I do.

I shall not hand over any of the Cipher Corps shinobi alive.

Why?

Because killing my comrades is my special mission.

What a terrible life…

Your comrades…why?

Why?

You, of all people, should understand.

We cannot let our code fall into enemy hands.

Besides, they would have talked right away.

If we both survive, let's meet again.

Kisame… You…!

Good work, Kisame.

I had a feeling he would let his guard down with his subordinate.

And I was right.

He was collaborating with the enemy.

From this moment on,

you are the master of the great blade, Samehada.

And my subordinate as well.

That is, until you eliminate me too, Lord Fourth Mizukage.

I can trust you because of who you are.

You have executed dirty missions for

the sake of the nation and village.

You've undertaken missions of betrayal.

You are well aware that this world is full of lies and deceit.

I knew that from the first moment I killed a comrade.

Killing a Hidden Mist ninja despite being one myself.

So what am I?

Am I an enemy or an ally?

What is my purpose? Where do I stand in this world?

Where must I go? And where can I go to find inner calm?

There is one thing that is clear to me…

I am trapped in a false existence.

Then I shall release you from the pain of those falsehoods.

I will create a place where you belong.

Who are you?

First, we'll start with this nation.

You have toiled to dispose of your comrades up until now.

From now on, work with me as my comrade.

You seem to have trust in me.

But I still don't know who you are.

Those eyes… that gleam in the dark!

I see…

The one I thought was the Fourth Mizukage…

was actually you.

To think the Fourth was being manipulated by the Sharingan.

This world really is full of lies.

You have the visual prowess to be able to control the Fourth…

who is also the Jinchuriki of the Three Tails.
