Itachi turns just in time to avoid being hit by the massive Samehada and Kisame laughs "To be honest Itachi I'm suprised you left us but I would love to make the Uchiha clan officially extinct." Kisame makes a wide horizontal slash with Samehada and Itachi leaps over it and he throws kunia at Kisame who is unable to dodge mid slash. The kunia cut his face and one stabs into his neck but he holds Samehada in one hand and pulls out the kunia. When he looks up at Itachi's eyes he finds himself in the nightmare realm, but spikes on Samehada's handle extend, wounding his hand and forcing him out of Itachi's genjutsu. Itachi stumbles back "Little brother... I can't be much help. My chakra reserves are running low from using my Mangekyo too much. I'll help where I can." Sasuke steps closer to Kisame drawing his sword "It's alright big brother. I can handle this." He charges his sword with lightning chakra and uses it to defend against Kisame's vertical crushing blow. Unfortunantly, the chakra in his sword is sucked out and he is forced to one knee "You can't win!" Itachi spews a fireball at Kisame's back "Come now Kisame, you were always quick to announce your victory." Kisame looks towards Itachi "Watch me kill your brat brother you good for nothing traitor!" Sasuke slides out from under Samehada and it slams into the ground as he spins and impales Kisame through the back while standing by him "You're just a guy with a big sword. Don't oversell yourself."

Kisame smirks and he turns to Sasuke and kicks him back trying again to smash Sasuke with his sword, who barely rolls out of the way in time. He reaches behind his back pulling out the sword "Hm, I almost felt that. Why don't you try it again?" He tosses it to Sasuke and it lands at his feet. Sasuke picks it up and as Kisame rushes at him he leaps over his slash, throwing his sword in the air and signing "Fire Style: Fireball!" He spews a fireball point blank at Kisame who uses his swings momentum to turn his back to Sasuke's attack and he is blasted by it. Kisame barely stumbles but his Akatsuki robe is burnt as is his back. Sasuke watches in frustration as his back heals. Kisame grins "A good try but you simply can't defeat me." He signs "Water Style: Water Bullet!" Sasuke signs quickly and as the water flies towards him he forms the Chidori on his arm. He uses the momentum it grants him to cut through Kisame's water he spouts from his mouth and Kisame barely manages to deflect Sasuke's Chidori and it hits him in the shoulder instead, nearly taking off his arm. Sasuke pulls back his hand and Kisame collapses, and Itachi tries to take Samehada but the wrapping on it comes off and the sword tries to lunge at him as Kisame stands back up "Sasuke we have to take the sword from him or he will never die."

Zetsu grins at Chiria "Thank you for weakening the boy for us. We were nervous of whether or not we would manage to capture him. But I suppose everything can proceed as planned once we manipulate the boy into assisting us in capturing the eight tails, we can harvest both tailed beasts." Tobi appears by Zetsu "Yes, why not tell them all of our plans?" Zetsu turns to him and smirks "Come now Tobi, it's not like they could do anything to stop us. Whats the harm in telling them the truth before we kill them?" Tobi shrugs "Fair enough." Chiria throws kunia from her pack at Tobi who makes them teleport and they fly back at Chiria hitting her wind armor in the chest and stomach, bouncing off harmlessly. Chiria narrows her eyes "An interesting ocular jutsu. Tell me, Tobi. What is your reason for gathering the tailed beast?" He shakes his head a little "Oh I won't tell you. You will just have to be there when I explain the plan to the Kage at the Kage Summit." Zetsu causes vines to leap out of the ground at Chiria who dodges them all and they vanish with use of Tobi's Space Time technique, making Chiria howl in anger "Damn it, I almost freed him!"

When she pounds the ground and her chakra intensifies she catches the attention of Samehada and she turns to Kisame "Get out of here or I'll rip you apart Akatsuki scum!" Her Wind Release Chakra mode causes dust to rise around her and as the dust clears she is gone, kicking Kisame from behind in the side, kicking him in half. Kisame's two halves collapse but his bottom half melts away and the top half regenerates. He stands and when Chiria rushes towards him he creates a water clone. When she punches it, she becomes incased in a sphere of water. The sphere begins to press down on her and she feels her body being crushed by the water prison. Sasuke throws lightning charged shuriken at Kisame who uses his sword to block. Sasuke growls "Damn it. I'm tired of holding back." Kisame chuckles "You and me both kid!" He holds one hand in front of his chest "Water Style: Super Exploding Water Shockwave!" The water he spews from his mouth quickly forms into a massive bubble. Chiria, Sasuke and Itachi swim close to each other, watching as the spiked sword Samehada seems to consume Kisame, his body becoming more and more sharklike.

Chiria's Wind Release Chakra Mode causes bubbles around her but she frowns, realizing that she could sustain herself but not Sasuke and Itachi. She swims towards Kisame who blasts past her, his sharp fin cutting her side. He manages to hit Itachi but Sasuke claps his hands together creating an air burst that knocks back Kisame and Chiria in one direction, Sasuke and Itachi fly off in the other and fall out of the water bubble. After falling far and collapsing onto the ground Sasuke stands to help his brother up and he looks up into the bubble "I have to do something... but what?" Itachi stretches a little "I'll be honest, I've never seen Kisame go all out like this. I knew him well enough but we fought together rarely, at my request. But out here we can't do a thing. Sasuke, we have to use our Susanoo." As Chiria barely manages to dodge all of Kisame's attempts at catching her Kisame barely manages to dodge the sword of Itachi's Susanoo and he is nearly impaled by an arrow from Sasuke's Susanoo. The sword slash manages to break the bubble apart and both Chiria and Kisame land on their feet on the ground below. Chira begins to form her Susanoo, a darker shade of purple than Sasuke's, wearing an armored robe and holding a sythe. She signs "Fire Style: Blast Flare!" She fires a fireball that blinds Kisame and the sythe cuts through Kisame and pulls out all his chakra and he yells out as the sythe seals him away.

Chiria walks to Samehada and it seems to sniff her then the handle wraps around her arm and she lifts it, smiling. "Thanks Itachi. He caught me off guard in there." Itachi shrugs "He caught us all a little off guard. But overall that went well. So what are you going to do with Samehada?" She smiles "Oh I think I have a friend who will love this as a gift." He nods "Just keep it away from me." An hour of walking they encounter Kakashi and Angston, both of whom had rushed to their aid upon seeing the massive water bubble and the titanic Susanoo's. Kakashi goes wide eyed when he sees Itachi. "You!" He pulls up his headband but Chiria takes his arm "It is fine Kakashi sensei. He's on our side." Kakashi puts his hands together "Release." He looks back up and they are still standing in front of him "Alright so its not a mind trick. And I see you abandoned those horrid robes Itachi." Itachi walks closer "And you may be interested to know that Kisame is dead. Mostly thanks to Chiria here, he's been sealed and even with the reincarnation technique that died with Orochimaru, his body has no value with his spirit sealed away." Kakashi nods "I have a ton of questions."
