Blood-red chakra bubbles rose from Killer Bee's dark skin, transforming into the translucent form of a Tailed Beast Cloak!
Kisame immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Even with my fusion with Samehada, just coming into contact should continuously drain his chakra. So where is he getting all this chakra?"
*Snap!* *Snap!*
"Wei~~!" Killer Bee flexed his arms, his muscles bulging as the chains snapped apart one after another!
Kisame's mind raced.
"Don't tell me… Samehada is willingly giving him chakra?"
*Rustle!*
As if things couldn't get worse, Kisame was suddenly rejected by Samehada. His body was flung away as the fusion state ended, and he was forcibly separated from his sword.
"Ugh… that traitor Samehada even took my chakra with it!" Kisame groaned.
The massive water prison created by his jutsu began to collapse without chakra to sustain it, freeing both Raikage and Killer Bee.
Raikage took deep breaths of fresh air, regaining his composure. Samehada happily returned to Killer Bee's side, delivering all the chakra it had absorbed from Kisame.
Killer Bee patted the now-giddy Samehada and hummed:
"Wei~~wei~~! Life's all about luck~~! From now on, you're my little buddy~~!"
Kisame watched with a mix of emotions.
"Samehada, do you like his chakra that much?"
Killer Bee slung Samehada over his back, dancing as he sang:
"A traitorous afternoon~~, the shark's lonely whispers~~! Sashimi's fresh blood~~, a sunset's regret~~! Yo~~yo~~ I've still got energy, my charm's still shining~~! Eight-Tails Killer Bee, that's me~~! Yeah! Ah! The fight's just starting, but it's already ending~~!"
Seeing his lively brother, Raikage smirked.
"Hmph, you really can't sit still… Bee! Use that move! It's time to end this!!"
"OK~~! Brother~~!!"
*Boom!*
The Tailed Beast chakra around Killer Bee condensed into a dense, red cloak over his body. Large skeletal structures extended from his back, forming a massive frame. On the other side, Raikage's Lightning Cloak surged back to life, the intense bolts crackling with an overwhelming force.
Darui observed solemnly:
"Without his precious sword, Hoshigaki Kisame doesn't stand a chance against the combined attack of the Kumogakure brothers."
"Wei~~~!!"
"Rahhh!!"
After positioning themselves, Raikage and Killer Bee charged at Kisame from opposite directions with their ultimate tag-team move: Double Lariat!
Kisame, knowing this was the end, closed his eyes and sighed.
"A traitor will always be betrayed in return. I guess I can't escape this fate either. Itachi, did you feel the same way before you died?"
Suddenly, a hand shot out from the ground and grabbed Kisame's ankle, yanking him down with force!
"Earth Style: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique!"
"Huh…!?" Kisame gasped as he was pulled underground.
Raikage and Killer Bee, both charging at full speed, suddenly lost sight of their target. But their momentum was unstoppable.
*Boom!!! Boom!!!*
The brothers collided with each other in their most powerful forms, their muscular arms smashing into each other's necks.
"Urgh…!!"
"Awoo…!!"
The scene was so striking that it was hard to put into words.
Two sturdy men froze mid-motion, then suddenly collapsed, flipping over and sliding to the ground as their bodies twitched uncontrollably.
Darui instinctively clutched his throat.
"Hey, hey, this is no joke..."
Kisame, who had somehow narrowly avoided disaster, had only his head sticking out of the ground. He chuckled.
"I see... That move really does look like a proper execution by decapitation. Now then, you hiding in the dirt, it's about time you showed yourself, isn't it?"
Rustle, rustle, rustle!
The ground cracked open, revealing a blond-haired young man in a cloak. He rose to his feet amidst the earthy aroma.
Smiling, he said,
"Though this isn't my usual way of showing up, I figured it's better to be cautious when dealing with Kumogakure's AB Brothers."
Kisame was shocked at the sight of the figure before him.
"It's you?"
Uzumaki Naruto turned with a calm smile.
"Kisame, long time no see. I trust there's no need for introductions?"
