right now vegeta and guys team were running through the forest following pakkun until they reached a open area. They were far out into the clearing when neji felt something wrong and activated his Byakugan. Neji scanned over the area because something was just bugging him and just felt...off. Neji's eyes widened a bit when he managed to see a Very large chakra behind them. "enemy behind us!" neji proclaimed as he spun on the heels of his feet, not long after so did everyone else. "where neji!?" guy asked as he got behind neji.
"it's coming from...underground" neji told guy. Vegeta was scanning the far off open ground for signs of a enemy and it wasn't long before some type of bandaged object protruded from the ground as if it was a shark fin, it was heading straight toward them. The object was tearing through dirt getting to them and once it got a few meters away the person who was holding it burst from the ground and rested his foot on a rock, he also had his wrapped object resting on his shoulder. The man was blue and what looked like gills on his face, not to mention his sharp teeth. " well it's nice to see you again green beast" kisame said to guy with a smile that seemed to show off his teeth.
Guy looked at the man thoughtfully, he knows he has met him before but he doesn't know where. "who are you again?" guy asked. Kisame let out a laugh "hehe your memory is as bad as your haircut" kisame stated. Kisame remembered might guy very well, he had to pay him back for that kick he gave him a few years back. He has been waiting to get another crack at him. Kisame took his eyes off guy and scanned over the rest of the group and he tried to figure out which one was the saiyan that they said was with them.
Kisame's eyes eventually landed on vegeta, kisame smirked showing off his teeth again. That was the saiyan he was sure of it, none of the others even came close. Kisame ruled out the hyuga, the women and what seemed to be the green beast's mini me. Vegeta was in his fighting stance simply smirking back at kisame. Kisame took his bandaged object off his shoulder and pointed it to the group "this is as far as you go" kisame told them. Guy's eyes widened "y-you your!" guy said shockingly as he looked at kisame. Kisame smirked "so you finally remembered eh" kisame said with a laugh, finally he remembered it only took five minutes. "have we met somewhere before?" guy asked confused. Kisame looked confused, apparently not, how can someone be this dimwitted.
Kisame smirked "don't worry i'll jog that tiny brain of yours" kisame said and then he threw his weapon high into the air, kisame pressed his palms together "water style: exploding water shock wave!" kisame said as he bent backwards and his chest convulsed and started to expand, kisame leaned downward to the ground and massive amounts of water came out of his mouth and soon covered the entire battlefield, kisame then rode on top of the waves and caught his weapon and laughed menacingly.
Team guy all acted quickly and jumped up and landed on top of the water. Vegeta did the same thing and as soon as he landed kisame riding a wave came and tried to hit him with his weapon "take this!" kisame said as he swung his weapon at vegeta, vegeta simply jumped over kisame and landed back on his feet. Kisame stopped just a few feet from vegeta "well you're quick on your feet, it appears you aren't as useless as I assumed you'd be" kisame said as he smirked.
Neji was using his byakugan and was looking at kisame "this jutsu requires a large amount of chakra...a incredible amount, I've only seen naruto with this much chakra" neji exclaimed. Guy charged toward kisame but then kisame simply turned and attempted to strike guy with his weapon, guy leaped over his swing attempting to hit him in the face but kisame used his weapon to guard and blocked his attack. Guy kicked off his weapon and landed on top of the water. The rest of team guy landed near guy and vegeta, surrounding kisame. Kisame did a quick look around and simply smiled, neji started to charge toward kisame "tenten!" neji shouted as he sprinted across the water. "right!" tenten shouted as she unfolded her scroll and leaped into the air and started emptying the contents of the large scroll and threw a great number of weapons.
Vegeta was simply watching to see if he could learn anything about the enemy before he went in and blindly attacked. He was searching for anything he could exploit, as neji fought the enemy on the ground and the woman launching a attack from above should prove to be a challenge for even this akatsuki. Neji was striking at the akatsuki, but the akatsuki simply blocked Neji's chakra enforced hand with his weapon and jumped back to avoid the barrage of shuriken and kunai. But as soon as the weapons ceased guy and lee decided to attack from the back, kisame swung his sword to hit guy but right before it could hit "leaf rising wind!" lee exclaimed as he struck Kisame's wrist that was holding the weapon and kicked it straight up into the air. Kisame was surprised that the brat managed to get past his guard "you brat!" kisame said as he leaped back to increase the distance between them, but as soon as he landed neji focused his chakra in his palm and extended his and toward kisame shouting "eight trigrams air palm!" neji exclaimed as a burst of chakra hit kisame and sent him back across the water.
Kisame manged to catch his falling weapon and skid to a stop on top of the water but before he could completely stop a large spiked ball came straight at him, he managed to bring his weapon up and block it but as soon as it stopped moving kisame took a closer look and noticed something and his eyes slightly widened 'a paper bomb!' kisame thought as he cut the flow of chakra in his feet and went straight under the water as it exploded. Tenten was standing holding part of a scroll over her arm "damn he got away" she exclaimed frustrated. Kisame was swimming under the water, these kids were starting to be more annoying then he thought.
Vegeta on the other hand managed to figure out a small weakness of Kisame's, he mostly attacks with his weapon and once he loses it he becomes more vulnerable and is open to attack. Vegeta smirked, finally a real fight in such a long time. Guy and the rest of the team were all around each other waiting until guy spoke "where is he hiding this time?...neji" guy asked as he looked toward neji. "in front of us and coming closer" neji exclaimed to the others, not long after Kisame's head started to rise out of the water "i'll grant you brats this much, you're more trouble then I thought you'd be...in fact your incredibly annoying" kisame stated as he rose to the top of the water. Guy watched kisame "wait a minute...use of water jutsu and the massive sword...what are..." guy started to say but was interrupted by kisame "don't tell me, your memory is finally stirring in that tiny brain of yours" kisame stated to guy. Kisame couldn't believe how utterly stupid this man was. "im certain we've met before" guy said as he tried to remember and team guy was all preparing to charge at kisame again
vegeta on the other hand started to charge toward kisame at high speeds and kisame quickly directed his attention toward vegeta and put his sword in front of him, vegeta simply sent a hard punch straight at Kisame's sword he held in front of him and as soon as he connected his punch, the sword pressed back against kisame and knocked him off balance 'this kid...he's a lot stronger then I ever thought he'd be, even so it wont be a problem' kisame thought as he skidded back and regained his balance.
Kisame was warned about the saiyan, but even so he didn't think that he would be this strong at such a young age. But that didn't matter, he was still stronger then the boy and it seemed as though guy hits almost as hard, if not more. So he can take it. Kisame held his sword inverted, pointing down in his hand as he was blocking vegeta's attacks. All of team guy was slightly surprised he was able to push back kisame and stay in a fight with him. Neji was slightly less surprised due to being informed on the skills of saiyans but even so it was impressive.
Vegeta sent a high speed kick toward Kisame's head and Kisame's eyes widened as he attempted to raise his sword. He blocked vegeta's kick, just barley. But vegeta was still smirking and kisame was getting angry that he was not being taken serious, even though he's not using his real power, it should be enough to take out some brat, shouldn't it. But kisame was snapped out of his thoughts as vegeta disappeared and kisame lost track of him "what?!" kisame exclaimed loudly as he searched for vegeta. Vegeta reappeared in front of kisame coming up with a fist, kisame looked down and saw vegeta. He was too late to block 'how could this brat get past my guard' kisame though as he attempted to raise his other hand but vegeta hit a hard punch onto Kisame's abdomen. Kisame's air was knocked out of him as he was sent skidding across the water.
Kisame slid across the water until he used his sword to slow his movement and stood up. Although as soon as he stood up Guy appeared before him and sent a punch to Kisame's face, kisame grabbed his hand with his own, then Guy reached up his leg and wrapped it around the handle of Kisame's sword and pushed away from him. Releasing the sword from Kisame's grasp. "attack now!" Guy shouted to the rest. Vegeta nor team Guy needed to be told twice and charged toward the now vulnerable kisame. They closed in on him and kisame had a very aggravated face and went through hand seals "water style: water clone jutsu" kisame shouted as four clones all appeared next to him, all facing toward each member coming toward him.
Vegeta laughed slightly 'a clone? Hehe i'll just go right threw it and hit the real one' vegeta thought as he and the others attacked the clones. In attempt to go through them. But kisame went threw more hand seals right before they attacked the clones "water style: water prison jutsu!" kisame yelled as they hit the clones and the clones simply extended their arms and it turned into water and started to cover all of them. Vegeta tried to jump back but was caught in the jutsu as well. Neji, tenten, and lee got caught in the jutsu, all were now trapped in four different "bubbles" of water. The water was dense that the smallest movement took a lot of effort.
Vegeta was angry 'how could I have been so reckless' vegeta thought as he gritted his teeth in anger. Guy sprinted toward kisame "let them go you swine!" guy shouted as he prepared to swing Kisame's sword that he took. But before he could even use it, a sharp pain in his hand forced him to let go and the sword handle had spikes on it as blood flew from his hands. The sword landed in the water and guy. Guy stood on the water in front of kisame "i got to admit im a little surprised, these kids are better then I thought...at any rate, now we can fight without and interruptions" kisame said as he smirked menacingly.
Kisame's sword sped through the water and was in Kisame's hand in no time. Kisame held the sword out to Guy with a arrogant smirk "this is the great blade shark skin, it only allows me to wield it" kisame said with a laugh. "i see, I shouldn't have used a unfamiliar weapon, in that case i'll just stick to my own" guy said as he reached into his pouch and pulled out a nunchaku, guy swung the nunchaku around grunting high pitch noises as he did. Guy then held it in front of him and tensed both ends and a shock-wave was visible as ripples in the water.
Waves went around kisame from the shock-wave and he smirked "well well well looks like this may be interesting...hehe" kisame ran toward guy at full speed "how about we finally get down to business shall we! HAA" kisame continued as he sprinted to guy.
Team guy and vegeta were all forced to watch and do nothing as guy fought the akatsuki. Tenten was struggling to hold her breath inside of the water prison and started to struggle with the urge to gasp for air. Neji and lee both looked toward tenten in worry, vegeta on the other hand could not care if anything happened to the woman. Vegeta was simply staring at the smirking clone in front of him and smirked back, 'does this fool really think he can trap the prince of all saiyans in a pathetic trap like this!' vegeta thought as he spread his arms out and had a very arrogant smirk and the clone of kisame in front of him lost his smirk and pondered a look of confusion.
Neji looked toward vegeta seeing him move in the water prison and also seen his smile. 'he must have something in mind, but what could he be planning' neji thought as Kisame's clone that was in front of vegeta looked confused until a muffled yell came from vegeta and the prison he was in started to bulge out and eventually burst. "HAAA!" vegeta yelled as he burst from the prison and the clone in front of him jerked back in surprise "what!" the clone exclaimed until vegeta's fist went through his head and it dispersed into water, vegeta turned his attention to the clone holding neji and still had his arrogant smirk and sent a kick right through the surprised clones neck and released neji. Vegeta simply stood on the water waiting for neji to release the others, and he did as soon as he was released. Neji struck the other two clones releasing lee and tenten.
Neji caught tenten and helped her from falling "are you alright tenten?" neji asked tenten "yea" she turned her attention to vegeta "thank you vegeta, you saved us" tenten said but it fell on deaf ears as vegeta had his back to them watching the fight between guy and kisame, the fight really turned into something that vegeta was shocked at. Vegeta looked as surprised as anyone else would have been. Since the time they got trapped in the jutsu it seems as though guy unleashed a incredible amount of power and the water was moving as if a hurricane was going over it. Vegeta was simply shocked that this much power was inside of that idiot of a man. 'how could someone like him get this much power' vegeta thought as he watched with interest.
Lee was now next to vegeta watching as well "look at Guy sensei go! There is no way he could lose!" lee said to no one in particular with fire in his eyes. Guy at the moment was jumping after kisame after he jumped up and guy sent a hard kick to Kisame's side and sent him flying to the side. guy quickly appeared in front of him, much to Kisame's surprise, guy then hit kisame with a barrage of punches that seemed to be on fire "asakujaku!" guy yelled as he pummeled kisame. Kisame was struck with a final hard punch and was sent straight down to the ground beneath the water. Guy landed on top of the water and the energy that was around him dissipated and he was breathing slightly heavy. Then the water that surrounded the battlefield started to go down and eventually nothing was left but the ground beneath them.
Vegeta rushed over to where kisame landed just to make sure he was actually down for good and was ready to deliver the finishing blow at any given time. Neji and lee were not far behind him. Vegeta came up on the body and skidded to a stop when the body came into full view and was surprised at what he saw, vegeta was so confused and neji soon showed up and noticed vegeta's confusion, he came up to him "what is it? What wrong?" neji asked but not even a second later he spotted the body "what the..." neji continued as he stared at the body in the crater.
The body wasn't Kisame's, or for better word the body changed into someone that obviously wasn't kisame. everyone else walked up with neji and vegeta, all looking at the body guy looked closely at the person "what kind of jutsu does this?" guy said as he knelt down to inspect the body more. Vegeta was watching the body until realization hit him and vegeta gritted his teeth and clenched his fist "he wasn't even trying to kill us he was slowing us down!" vegeta said to the others and then started to look around "where is that dog we need to move now!" vegeta told the others. Vegeta was annoyed that the akatsuki didn't even show up himself to fight, such a coward.
"what do you mean he was slowing us down?" tenten asked vegeta, vegeta turned his head over his shoulder toward her "he was here to simply slow us down and considering he knew we were on our way, they most likely know about the others as well and sent someone after them as well" vegeta replied to tenten obviously aggravated and was still searching for Pakkun. "vegeta's right we need to get moving as soon as possible" neji agreed and was ready to leave.
Pakkun appeared next to guy and guy noticed "alright pakkun lead the way, we need to move out" guy told pakkun who simply nodded and ran by guy toward the direction they were running before. The rest followed and vegeta was still somewhat angry at the akatsuki, they took him as if he was a joke and didn't even show up themselves. Vegeta could not wait until he could get his hands on the akatsuki.
