Chapter 471: A test of strength

Kisame finally reveals his deadliest weapon!

Kisame: Behold my Samaheda in its true form! You shall fall before me, Hoshigaki Kisame you Jinchuuriki!

Killerbee:Yo so that was your name right? I now have a great story to spread around in my village! I stomped all over Akatsuki once and I’ll do it again cos’ I’m the bee! Oh yeah! [makes the victory sign]

Sabu: What is that guy? I’ve heard about this Akatsuki group but this guy’s a monster! Yosakugiri didn’t stand a chance against his sword.

Killerbee: Don’t worry master! I shall avenge Ponta and defeat this guy. I’ll make him cry till he’s so dry, yo!

Kisame: Allow me to put your foolish ideas to rest. I’ll show you one of my secret techniques to keep you happy enough and take you alive!

[Kisame charges with the released Samaheda. Killerbee prepares to defend as Kisame yells: Mizu bunshin no Jutsu! And creates 2 bunshins which also appear to wield released Samahedas]

Killerbee:[thinking] Wow he duplicated his weapon as well, this is gonna be hard. From where does he get this much chakra?

[Kisame’s two bunshins attempt to surround Killerbee from the sides and Kisame attacks head on. Killerbee attempts to dodge Kisame and engages the bunshins attacks by holding a sword in each hand. Kisame attacks again and narrowly misses as Killerbee uses one of the bunshin’s samaheda to block the original Kisame’s attack. Killerbee retreats back a little.]

Killerbee:[looking at his hands full of cuts] Yow! That weapon hurts! [thinking] To think that I actually had to touch it to avoid his attack.

Kisame: [smirks] So you’re finally getting a gist of what I’m capable of?

[Inner Hachibi voice: What have you gotten yourself into now? This is just not like you]

Killerbee: [thinking] What can I do? Trouble follows me as though I’m its master. However I cannot put you at risk. His weapon is capable of swallowing up chakra if it touches me.

[Inner Hachibi voice: Yeah I heard. Looks like I’m a delicacy now]

Killerbee: [talks to himself] Yeah somewhat. I’ll see if I can end this without having to use your help somehow. Wait a second! His bunshin weapons did nothing but hurt me! Looks like only the original can actually absorb chakra.

[Kisame and his bunshins mix themselves as they run towards Killerbee and point Samaheda’s mouth towards him]

Kisame: Ha! So you’ve finally gone mad talking to yourself? I’ll end your misery! It’s about time I gave Samaheda something to eat for a change!

Killerbee: [brings about 4 to 5 swords in his hand and prepares himself] You Akatsuki breed like flies. It’s time I put an end to your annoying presence. I will not be under anyone’s control anymore!

[Inner Hachibi voice: You didn’t rap for once! That’s saying something!]

[Switch scene to Naruto and the others]

Naruto: [watches in silence as Sakura and others depart from his view] Kakashi-sensei, Yamato-taicho, I’m going to resume my search of Sasuke. If you need me for anything give me a shout.

Kakashi: [nods] And remember what I told you Naruto. It is unwise to talk about Itachi until we hear from this from a more reliable source.

Yamato: It’s a good thing you restrained him senpai. I can only wonder how much it would shake Konoha in these times.

Naruto: [activates Sage mode] Yeah. And I suppose Madara fed the same story to Sasuke. Maybe that’s why Sasuke’s listening to him. He thinks Madara is helping him restore the Uchiha but in reality, he’s only being used and-!

Kakashi: What? [looks around calmly]

Naruto: [looks ahead] You can come out now Sai, if you intend to. There’s no point in staying there.

[Sai’s bunshin comes out of hiding with a stunned look on his face]

Sai: How did you know?

Naruto: Never mind. What is this about? Why did you leave a bunshin here unknown to Sakura and the others?

Sai: I wanted to let you know about something important. Sakura and the others are planning to take on Sasuke by themselves.

Naruto: I see…[looks on sadly] so it eventually came to that. [thinks] Sasuke…..why did you have to become like this?

Sai: I’m also responsible for Sakura’s talk with you. You were in a lot of pain regarding Sakura and Sasuke and so…I just wanted to help. I read that in a book. You have to help your friends and stand by them in hard times.

Naruto: Sai……thank you. But you have to start thinking beyond your books. There will be things beyond your imagination which you won’t find in any book. Leave this to me okay?

Sai: ……okay. I better get going then. [bunshin disperses]

Naruto: [looks up to the sky] Kakashi-sensei..

Kakashi: ?

Naruto: Wouldn’t it have been better if I had asked Itachi about this?

Kakashi: What?

Yamato: Are you saying that you met Itachi? When?

Naruto: It’s a long story.

[Switch scene to Sakura and the others]

[Sakura, Kiba, Sai and Lee are traveling fast in a forest]

Sai: [slows down for a second] !

Sakura: What is it Sai?

Sai: Nothing, I thought I sensed someone over here. But it’s fine. [smiles]

Sakura: [thinking] Not one of those fake smiles again. He’s hiding something.

Kiba: Sakura, I know you meant what you said earlier but honestly shouldn’t we let Shikamaru handle this? Sasuke is surely not going to greet us as old pals now.

Sakura: I know…….but it’s partly my fault as well. I have to stop him somehow.

[Thinks of when she tried to stop Sasuke leaving Konoha]

Lee: You’re blaming yourself for nothing Sakura-san. Sasuke-kun went for his own reasons.

Kiba: What will you do Sakura? We won’t last long if Akatsuki protects Sasuke.

Sakura: I have a plan. But as you said we will need the support of everyone else as well.

Kiba: And that is?

Voice: My my, look what we have here. Little Konoha ninjas.

[Everyone stops and look around in alarm. Sai points to a thick part of the forest. A cloaked figure stands a few feet away and he reveals himself]

Sakura: [angrily] Kabuto! You--

Kabuto: Well looks like I don’t have the kindest of greetings. I wanted to finish you off long back.

Kiba: [looks at Kabuto whose face seems to almost resemble Orochimaru with the skin and his eyes] What the heck is he?

Sai: ……

Kabuto: Looks like Orochimaru-sama made a tiny mistake of letting you punks leave alive that day. I’ll correct that now! Now that Akatsuki is almost gone, I’ll step out of my miserable life!

[Switch scene to Kisame and Killerbee]

[Killerbee seems to be panting a little as Kisame’s bunshins vanish]

Kisame: Well, well. Looks like the strain is getting to you. I must say you did well taking out my bunshins so fast. What do you say we call it a day and you come nice and quiet with me? I’m getting bored fighting with you. I’d rather go after the Kyuubi boy.

Killerbee: Kyuubi boy? So your group is still hunting all the Bijuu for your schemes. I won’t let you escape here alive.

Kisame: [grins] Looks like you still have some fight left in you. I’ll crush your spirit in an instant. You don’t know what you’re up against.

Killerbee: [thinks] Looks like I have no choice. I need your help.

[Inner Hachibi voice: Oh by all means go ahead. I’m tired of being treated as bait right now]

Killerbee: [raises his hands] Right! Yo! Get ready! It’s time for number eight! [flashes 8 with his hands]

[Transforms into the Hachibi and emits a monstrous roar]

Sabu: Ponta! Let’s get out of here for now. Bee will take care of things [attempts to wake the raccoon]

Kisame: So are you done counting the time till your death?

[Killerbee wastes no time and charges head on at Kisame]

Kisame: Now that’s more I like it. Looks like you can entertain me just a bit longer.

[Kisame forms a handseal and shouts Suiton: Bakushouha!! Water seems to gush out from Kisame’s mouth and five sharks seems to swimming under it covering the whole area stopping a surprised Killerbee]

Kisame: Now then, where were we?

Killerbee: You are walking towards your own doom!

Kisame and Killerbee go all out!!
