Kisame got onto his feet as he rubbed his chest. He then looked in front of him and saw Naruto walking toward him "Damn-it, this is bad. Itachi's dead and I don't have Samehada," Kisame whispered as he looked for his said sword. As Naruto was approaching, Kisame started to weave hand-signs and said: "Water Style: Explosive Water Shock Wave!" and spat out a massive amount of water.

Naruto saw Kisame rise into the air as the water got up to his knees. Bracing himself, Naruto stood his ground as the giant wave of water was going toward him. Moments before it hit, Naruto took a deep breath and raised his arms. Kisame was riding the top of the wave as he jumped toward Samehada and grabs its hilt. The water level started to go down as Kisame looked at a wet Naruto. Going through several hand signs again, Kisame used the puddles that were left from the attack and said: "Water Style: Shark Shotgun Jutsu!" and from the puddle, 3 sharks made of water were sent at Naruto. The ladder looked behind him and saw the jutsu coming at him. He started to run around the water sharks toward Kisame. But Naruto noticed Kisame smiling and Naruto looked behind him to see the sharks following him "Fucking hell," Naruto whispered as he started to run faster toward Kisame. Soon, Naruto got within arm's reach of Kisame and punched him in the chest. Kisame recoiled with a faint smile on his face as Naruto then grabbed him and placed Kisame between him and the jutsu. Just before the sharks collided with Kisame, the ladder turned into water and Naruto was hit. The left side of his body was bruised as Kisame appeared from the ground and hit Naruto in the back with Samehada "You've still got a lot to learn, brat!" Kisame said as Naruto was sent a dozen feet away

"And I've still yet to kill you!" Naruto replied as Kisame smirked

"I'd like to see you try,"

"Your wish is my command," Naruto said. Running at Kisame, Naruto grabbed a rock and threw it at him. Kisame moved his head to the side as he felt something shatter against his ribs. Looking down, Kisame saw Naruto had smashed a small piece of housing against his side. Kisame grunted and used his elbow to strike Naruto in the nose. Naruto flinched a bit as Kisame then kicked Naruto in the chin. Naruto stumbled back and saw Kisame swing Samehada around, scraping a small part of his chest off. Naruto did several backflips to gain some distance when Kisame weaved hand-signs again and said: "Water Style: Water Shark Bomb Jutsu!" and a large water shark formed from a puddle and was sent at Naruto. Raising his arms, Naruto managed to block the attack from his body, and scrapes and bruises started to form on his arms "Looks like you can't do much without chakra, can't ya?" Kisame asked

"Oh you'd be surprised," Naruto replied

"Then show me what you can do! Samehada is getting hungry," Kisame shouted as he held his sword in front of him, showing it has it starts to wiggle and gurgle

"So... I'm just a meal then, huh?"

"Oh you're more than that, you're the main course! And once I'm done with you, the 8-Tails is gonna be dessert!" Kisame said as he appeared in front of Naruto and Kicked him in the throat. Naruto grabbed the leg when it collided and started to swing him around. He slammed Kisame into the ground and went to kick him. Yet, Kisame blocked it with Samehada and was sent skidding across the ground. Pushing off the ground, Kisame flew into the air and started to wave hand-signs again "Water Style: Shark Tornado!" and from his mouth, a water tornado was sent at Naruto. Naruto braced himself again as he noticed small sharks forming on the inside of the jutsu. Kisame smirked as he landed and when the jutsu was over, Naruto stood there with cuts all over his body 'He's sturdy, but he can't use chakra. Which means I don't have to worry about clones or jutsu. He also can't enhance his attacks with chakra, but he's still strong,' Kisame thought as he ran at Naruto and swung Samehada into Naruto's side. Naruto took the hit as he swung a right hook into Kisame's head. He then grabbed Kisame by the side of his cloak and upper cut him. Kisame was sent into the air as Naruto grabbed a rock the size of his palm and chucked it at him. The rock hit Kisame on the same side that Naruto had hit before and Kisame felt his ribs crack. Kisame landed on the ground with a thud as he slowly got up, but not before a shadow loomed over him. He looked up and saw Naruto throwing a punch; rolling away, the ground cracked and shook as Kisame bounded away 'If this keeps up... I don't think I'll last. He can't use chakra, sure, but his stamina is in-human... but if I use that... I can win!' Kisame thought

In True Reality:

Naruto stood in front of Itachi as they both watched Kisame throwing jutsu and whatever he could at nothing "This is surprising, to say the least," Itachi said as he turned his attention to Naruto

"You get a lot done in prison," Naruto replied with a smirk as he looked back at Itachi, "so, what are you here for?"

"The 8-Tails. Word got out that Kumo had been attacked, the Kage was in a wheelchair, and the village was in shambles," Itachi simply replied as Naruto scoffed

"You really are stupid,"

"Maybe, but I didn't expect you to be here,"

"Well, I've got unfinished business with the Raikage. Once this is over I'm gonna do to him like you would a horse with a broken leg," Naruto said as Itachi looked at him with a blank face. They looked at each other when Itachi asked: "I am looking at you in the face, right?" as Naruto sighed

"Yes... yes you are," Naruto said as he crouched down to be at eye-level with Itachi, "you've gone blind, haven't you?"

"I'm dying Naruto and I should've been dead when I did go blind," Itachi replied as Naruto frowned

"So what are you going to do? You want me to kill you?"

"I do plan on dying sometime this week... but by Sasuke's hand," Itachi said as Naruto's frown got worse

"Why would you want to die by that traitor's hand?" Naruto asked as Itachi sighed

"You used to think highly of Sasuke, Naruto. Orochimaru is dead, has been for the past 3 years. He's been roaming the Elemental Nations looking for me. He's made a small group consisting of an Uzumaki, an Hōzuki clan member, and a raging demon," Itachi explained as Naruto huffed

"Well once he's killed you... I'm gonna send him to you," Naruto said as Itachi... frowned. Itachi then turned around and said: "Jiraiya has gone missing since your imprisonment. Konoha has been improving since the public mutilation and torture of the civilian council 4 years ago. I'd say it's about time you let old dogs lie,"

"You know Itachi, the old me would have agreed with you on that last part. But now," Naruto said as he shook his head, "I don't think we're exactly on the right path," Naruto continued as he raised his foot into the air.

Naruto brought it down on Itachi as he burst into crows and a small crater was created. Naruto smirked as he turned around to see Itachi knocking out Kisame, with the ladder falling to the ground. Itachi then managed to pick Kisame up and slung him over his shoulder. Walking back to Naruto, Itachi made a slight bow and said: "It was nice talking to you... Naruto-kun,"

"Yeah, and could you do me a favor?" Naruto asked

"I don't think I would be able to," Itachi said as he coughed, a small trickle of blood flowing from the side of his mouth

"Tell the Shinigami I'm coming for him," Naruto asked with a large smile

"I'll do my best," Itachi replied as he burst into crows and vanished.
