Somewhere close to the Hidden Cloud Village.
"Well now Yukiko you aren't like Hidan, he's also a Jashinist." Orochimaru says to Yukiko comparing her to Hidan who was also a Jashinist.
"Unlike him I'm more mature, Orochimaru." Yukiko responds.
"So you believe in Jashin too."
"Yes I do, Lord Jashin is master, murder and death is wonderful and pain is more it feels great when you do it the right way."
"I never understood Jashinism." Orochimaru says with a smirk on his face.
"I couldn't care about that."
"Hidan tried to kill me the time I said that, but that was long ago when he joined." Orochimaru and Kakuzu recruited Hidan into the Akatsuki, he was a violent one and wanted to kill all non-believers of Jashinism.
"Well while I am a Jashinist, I'm not an idiot."
"Hidan would kill you if you said that." Orochimaru similes at his partner being so different from Hidan.
"Whatever."
"Well, well look who's here." A voice says.
"What."
"Hmm." Yukiko and Orochimaru look over to the side and a tall dark figure was in the trees.
"Well, well, if it isn't the infamous Orochimaru." Kisame said.
"Kisame Hoshigaki, it's nice seeing you again." Orochimaru says back, they were part of the original 10 in the Akatsuki before Orochimaru defected and was replaced with Tobi.
"From what I heard you joined Obito and all that, you betrayed Pain our true leader." Orochimaru says mocking Kisame.
Kisame smirked. "You were the one to abandon us first, and now look at you in the Akatsuki robe once again."
"Well I have my reasons." Orochimaru calmly says back.
"But besides that I have to kill you both." Kisame take Samehada off his back and sheaths the bandages from Samehada revealing the sharp scales on the sword which was more like a shark with a handle for a tail.
Yukiko takes her scythe in her left hand and a Jashin spear alike to Hidan's in her right hand.
Orochimaru holds one palm out in a battle stance.
"I'll gladly take the both of you on." Kisame holds Samehada one his shoulder ready to attack.
Wind blows on the forest and birds leave the area for the start of the battle. The forest was quiet too quiet.
"AHH!" Kisame runs towards Orochimaru and Yukiko, Kisame swings Samehada to the left of Yukiko who was standing on the left of the 2, Yukiko sticks the end of the scythe like a pole into the ground using it like a shield she stops Samehada down flat. Kisame pushed hard, but Yukiko pushed back with the same might.
"Now then, Fire Style Fireball Jutsu." Orochimaru turns to his side and holds his hand up to his mouth with 2 fingers up. Orochimaru blows a powerful flame at Kisame.
Kisame instantly stops his attack on Yukiko and jumps back avoiding the fireball attack. Kisame plants Samehada into the ground in order to regain his balance.
Yukiko jumps up and comes down with her scythe as if it was axes.
Kisame holds Samehada double evenhandedly and swings Samehada from lower left up. Kisame smashes Yukiko in mid-air right out of the air and into the trees to his right.
"That chakra was good, don't you think Samehada?" Kisame asks his sword that communicated via telepathy.
Orochimaru reaches into his pocket and pulls out a shuriken, he only throws one shuriken, but he then makes several hand signs and the shuriken suddenly becomes 30 shuriken at once it was a shuriken shadow clone jutsu.
Kisame swings Samehada with both hands and a wave of water comes at the shuriken stopping every one in its tracks, the clones disappeared.
Suddenly 5 snakes erupt from the ground and grab Kisame restraining him and making him drop Samehada. Orochimaru had his hand in the ground doing the jutsu.
Yukiko jumps off the tree with her scythe ready to attack and slash Kisame into pieces. Samehada suddenly jumps up itself and counters Yukiko's slash, the 2 are repelled.
'So his sword can move individually.' Yukiko thinks to herself.
Kisame unleashes a large amount of water from his mouth onto the ground with this the snakes are washed off. Orochimaru takes his hand out of the ground in slight pain and then Kisame grabs Samehada as the water Kisame unleashed becomes giant into a large Tsunami headed towards the 2 Akuzura.
"Take this, Water Style, Exploding Water Shockwave!"
Yukiko spins her scythe at an incredible speed and wind spirals around it.
"Ninja Art, Tempestuous Typhoon Jutsu!"
Yukiko releases the scythe and a massive twister engulfs Yukiko and Orochimaru. Kisame looks around in shock, the water from Kisame's Tsunami was being absorbed into the Typhoon, it was like a hurricane in the ocean.
"What?!" Kisame loses control over his tsunami, he jumps away from the attack and lands safely in a tree.
The water from the tsunami was gathered in the hurricane, Yukiko unleashes it.
Yukiko swings her scythe with incredible force throwing the Typhoon at Kisame like a storm to a city. The water typhoon swallows Kisame and flings him left and right making it seem like he was in a hurricane out at sea.
"Urgh." Samehada turns big and the handle goes around Kisame's arm, the scales start to go through Kisame's skin and scales appear all around Kisame's skin. Kisame's cloak is torn off his body with the change of form, Kisame's arms turn into shark fin blades, He grows a large shark tail and a large fin grows on his back. Kisame then swims along the raging storm gaining speed faster and faster. At the burst of 1000 miles Kisame is catapulted out of the Typhoon, into the ground.
Kisame lands with a collision with the ground dust and rock erupt from the ground spreading around Kisame, Kisame releases water from his mouth and a large wave erupts from him and heads toward the 2 Akuzura.
Orochimaru's 2 arms project into 2 snakes and they wrap around Orochimaru using the hard skin they have to shield him from the wave.
Yukiko spins her scythe at an incredible speed the wind and bladed spiral acted like a shield to the water jutsu tearing the waves apart.
Kisame looked at the 2 Akuzura members who hadn't taken any damage from the wave.
"You guarded against my attack, impressive." Kisame says in amazement, but he was really just toying.
"Let's see you guard from our attack." Orochimaru says. Orochimaru whispers to Yukiko "I'll get his blood, you know what to do." Yukiko nods knowing what to do.
Orochimaru charge at Kisame with his hands as the hard claws of a snake's skin.
"Oh a shark vs a snake, interesting." Kisame says.
Kisame charges at Orochimaru with his 2 shark fin blades ready to slash. Kisame jumps by smashing his tail on the ground and comes down with his blades ready to slash, either one or the other. Orochimaru smirks then sticks out his long tongue at Kisame his tongue wraps around Kisame's left arm pulling him down and pulling him off balance.
"Woah!" Kisame is pulled in by Orochimaru and slashed on the fin only a minor scratch but some blood dripped on Orochimaru's claw, Kisame didn't feel a thing.
"You missed how sad." Kisame says thinking that Orochimaru missed.
"Did I?" Orochimaru takes a giant jump back and wipes his hand on Yukiko's scythe.
"Hmm." Yukiko licks her scythe.
"Oh no." Kisame looks at Yukiko he was too distracted at Orochimaru's attack he didn't notice that Yukiko drew the Jashin symbol on the ground.
"It's over." Yukiko says.
Kisame knew what was going on 'So the whole point of Orochimaru's attack was to gain a drop of my blood in order to activate the ritual jutsu, it's the same as Hidan's and if it's successful no matter where I am I'm dead.'
Kisame becomes angry 'Not good, I have to deactivate the jutsu, that can be done by removing the Jashin symbol.'
Yukiko's skin turns black and white with skeletal features, the Jashin symbol glowed purple.
"Grr." Kisame's skin disengages his shark form the skin and scale regrouped at Kisame's left arm and Samehada reforms on his hand.
"Now Kisame." Yukiko holds her spear to her heart.
"DIE!" Yukiko stabs herself in the heart.
Kisame should have felt pain but instead Samehada instantly roars in pain and shrieks hard, the ritual jutsu affected Samehada.
Samehada flings around its scales and needles go up in the pain it had, then Samehada falls down dead.
'So only Samehada was affected, that must be that Kisame merged with it.' Orochimaru thinks analyzing the situation.
"You killed Samehada." Kisame grows angry that his wonderful sword was now dead.
Kisame picks up samehada, though it was dead he could still use it was a sword, only it wouldn't be able to absorb chakra from his opponents.
"Without Samehada he is weaker." Yukiko mentions.
"Wind Style Great Breach!" Orochimaru blows a massive wind attack from his mouth.
"Wind Style Cyclone Scythe Jutsu!" Yukiko spins her scythe creating a cyclone shot at Kisame.
Orochimaru and Yukiko fire a dual wind attack right at Kisame. "Super water shark bomb!" Kisame counters with his shark bomb attack.
The wind of the 2 attacks collided and dispelled the water instantly, without Samehada's ability to drain chakra Kisame's chakra was much lower than normal.
"AHHH!" Kisame is blown away by Orochimaru and Yukiko's attacks.
Kisame looks at Samehada closes his eyes and then looks back at his opponents.
"You won this battle, I'll be back." Kisame in a second turned into water and was gone.
"He'll be back, we killed Samehada so he will be useless to them though." Orochimaru states.
"Let's go back." Yukiko retracts her scythe and places it on the holder on her back and leaves the battle scene with Orochimaru.
XXXXXX
"They ruined Samehada." Kisame had just finished telling all the details about his battle against Orochimaru and Yukiko and how they killed Samehada with the ritual jutsu.
"Don't worry once we harvest all the tailed beasts you will have him back in a dream." Obito assures Kisame.
Obito gives advice. "Until then don't go into battles recklessly."
"Understood sir." Kisame leaves and puts on another Akatsuki cloak.
"Partner, sorry for your loss." Itachi says to himself quietly.
'Looks like the snake won.' Obito thinks to himself.
