"There was nothing at the middle of the lake, I checked three times. What did you do?" Kisame walked out of the Boiling Lake and said to me with a frowned face. He was looking around, searching for something.

"Are you sure?" I asked with adapting my voice to the Danzo's, as I took his appearance after I cleaned the battlefield. It actually took a lot of time of mine, because the battlefield was damaged critically. I didn't have to feign as Danzo to kill Kisame, but I wanted to take some information from him if I could. But he somehow managed to see through my transformation. Probably through Samehada, he understood I have more Chakra Reserve.

Even though he didn't show it in his face, from the way he moved, I could deduct that he was suspicious, but probably wanted to take information from me, so he was feigning it too. It was one of the oldest tactics in the book, feign as ignorant to other parties to take away information, but I was better than that.

"Do you think our enemy will show up in here?" he asked me looking straight into my eyes.

I didn't speak at all. After all, there wasn't any answer could clear me from his suspicions. If they really had an enemy could show up in this place, it would make my answer a lie because I had no idea who was their enemy. I could very well say my own name, but it wasn't certain how did they see me. I was their enemy, but I wasn't around for too long. Giving the distance Boiling Sea was, probably Kisame and Danzo left at the same time with the other groups, thus may not learn my return yet. And if they didn't have one except me, then my all answers would be blind shot, also would make things worse, so I didn't say anything and turned my back to Kisame.

Turning your back to someone may look like idiotic, but also was a good move to make the other party trust you. I was sure it wouldn't work on Kisame, but I wanted to see his next move. As I expected, as soon as I turned my back, he attacked me with his sword, Samehada. As always Samehada was covered with bandages. Kisame like to surprise his opponents by not showing the Samehada.

I drew Danzo's Perfect Chakra Blade and filled it with Nen to counter Samehada. As our weapons clashed, Samehada started to move as if it was happy. Kisame said with a grin, "I was suspecting my deduction after I saw the blade Danzo was using but after Samehada sucked the alien energy coming from you made me sure that you are not Danzo." said Kisame without any sadness on his face. Even though he just realized his companion died, he was smirking as always.

I jumped back from the Samehada at the exact moment, because even though I used Nen and not Chakra, so Samehada couldn't absorb on my Chakra. Yet it was able to absorb it without a problem. 'Can it absorb all type of energies?' I asked Crow. This was a scary ability. I was sure I could win against to Samehada if I didn't use Chakra, but who could have though Samehada still was able to suck on any energies...

"It may be special to this Samehada," said Crow, with an uncertain voice, while scratching is the imaginary chin.

'What the hell is that mean?' What Crow meant, when he said it was special to this Samehada?

After some meditation, I decided to use 777 Gloves. It was my best option because as long as I didn't put any Nen to my attack in first 6 attacks, Samehada wouldn't be able to absorb my Nen. I dispersed the Transformation Jutsu and walked up as myself.

Kisame looked at me with a smile and said, "So it was Hitomi-kun, how scary." He was taunting me but it was to no avail. He remembered me from earlier times.

After gloves materialized in my hands the rainbow started to lighten up the surroundings. After some time it stopped at the Cyan color. 'Yes! How can I be this lucky? Am I going to die?' I couldn't believe in my eyes, because Cyan color was best for this situation. As I was wondering with all my brain cells, how I can get through Samehada to attack Kisame, Cyan color hit the jackpot!

I didn't attack with the Gloves, because I wanted to see Kisame's attack patterns. I took out my Very Good Sword and attacked the Kisame with my speed, but he was good. Too good that he was able to see through all my attacks. This is a real Swordsman!

Kisame was slower than me with the means I have, but he was better Swordsman, a master even, so could see through my attacks, and counter them perfectly. If I didn't have too many techniques, I would refrain to battle with him, but this feeling was intoxicating. The trill of the sword fight, the chance of the death, the smile of the Reaper, it was perfect. I just wanted to fight like this until I can win against him, but he was getting stronger each second, not that he was getting faster, he already has seen my all attacks with my Sword, so he could deduce my next attack even before I decide it.

'Is this the conclusion of battling with a master of Sword?'

"I know that smile," he said with his own. "Aren't you enjoying a bit too much. One of us will die in this fight!" he said with releasing his killing intent. I jolted awake from my trance and put the Very Good Sword into the Warehouse and took out a dozen Kunai with my seal to allow me to flash them, and I threw them around Kisame, keeping one of them in my left hand. It was time to finish this fight, and Kisame was unlucky to fight against the Cyan color.

I dashed to Kisame from the front and attacked with my right fist, but I didn't use any energy but attacked with my raw strength alone. As I was about hit Samehada which Kisame brought the front of me to cover from my punch, I flashed to the one of the Kunai behind him and aimed to his back. But he saw through my attack and jumped over the Samehada so Samehada could still be between Kisame and me.

"One!" I said as I punched the Samehada. I didn't want to hit Kisame anyway, if it was this easy, I wouldn't be happy to have Cyan Gloves at the moment.

After that, I flashed around Kisame and counted all the way to the 7!

2!

3!

4!

5!

6!

And it was time to finish this fight. I had only second to land this punch, or I would be blown away from its might. I threw the Kunai in my left hand and he only dodged it with moving his had, but I flashed to Kunai and aimed at his head. It was one of my strongest moves, but it wasn't useful against one of the Akatsuki. Because at the moment there were at least three people were able to use the Flying Thunder God Technique, and Kisame probably already knew the second form of the technique.

As I was suspected Kisame countered my attack with Samehada, but it was my plan all along. I strengthen my Punch with Nen, as I created a Zhengi barrier around my punch so Samehada would only absorb Zhengi but not Nen. And as I planned as my punch landed on Samehada, all my Zhengi I gathered on my punch sucked away and my punch created ear deafening roar with the might of my Nen.

"SE7EN!" I shouted but it was impossible to hear me at the moment, but I used my Zhengi telepathy to send my voice to Kisame because doesn't matter what, the people around me had to hear me counting, this was one of the downsides of the Hatsu.

Cyan color was the sound wave. My 7th punch would create big sound wave can destroy a building with ease if I inserted enough Nen into it. After my punch exploded I was able to see the sound wave expanding from my punch to horizon, and Kisame's ears started to bleed. After some time he fell to the ground but as soon as he fell to the ground all his body exploded and several sharks started to swim in the boiling Sea to all around. They were carrying information about me, but I didn't want to stop them. It was better to let them I am coming!
