Itachi sprinted after Sasuke and totally forgot Kisa, who was still stationed alone at Konoha's gate.
Kisa, ever dutiful, had no clue Itachi had "defected." He stubbornly kept guard past midnight, driven not by impatience but worry for his comrade's safety.
What happened to Uchiha Itachi? Soone like him wouldn't simply vanish without a trace!
Just then, two Konoha Chūnin erged to relieve the gatekeepers. They froze at the sight: one of their own lying face‑down, motionless, and Kisa standing over them with a vicious glare. They opened their mouths to shout, but Kisa acted first. Thud, thud! They were slamd unconscious into the wall.
Kisa snorted and strode into the village. Without Itachi guiding him, he stumbled around like a headless fly until he was intercepted by a man with a waterlon bowl-cut, practicing late-night training. The man blocked his path mid-flip and pointed commandingly:
"You're not a Konoha ninja! State your purpose here!"
Kisa glared at the bizarre outfit—green jumpsuit and bright legwarrs—and silently decided the man was insane. Not delaying, he drew Sahada and charged.
The bowl-cut man squared up, then launched into a spinning kick.
"Konoha Hurricane!"
Bang! Kisa was caught off guard and thrown flying. He stopped by sinking Sahada into the ground.
He sat up slowly, contempt gone. Now he understood: this guy was no gatekeeper.
"Who… are you?"
The man struck a posture, grinning broadly. "I'm Konoha's very own 'Subli Blue Beast', Might Guy!"
Kisa arched an eyebrow. "Might Guy? Never heard of you."
Guy's grin froze mid-beam, briefly awkward. Kisa pressed on:
"What did you do to Uchiha Itachi?"
Guy's eyes flashed. "Itachi? Your accomplice?"
Kisa held his silence. This Guy was dangerous—defeating him here ant Konoha would swarm him in seconds.
He refused an answer. Guy lunged first this ti, launching himself at Kisa with ferocious speed.
"Konoha Strong Hurricane!"
Kisa barely managed to block with Sahada. After absorbing two fierce kicks, he snarled, forming seals, his voice a low growl:
"Water Style: Water Shark Missile Technique!"
A puddle appeared beneath him. Water surged upward, forming a shark that lunged at Guy. Guy dodged, studying the torn earth with respect.
"To use Water Release this strong, with no visible water source… he isn't weak," he murmured. Energized, Guy's fists crackled green.
He opened his sixth inner gate.
"Sixth Gate: Gate of Joy — Open!"
His speed exploded. He vanished near Kisa and struck with a punishing punch. Sahada couldn't fully block. Kisa and his sword crashed through earth, gashing the ground deeply.
He dragged himself up, upper body shredded, muscle and bone visible—but no panic.
The bandages over Sahada ripped and the sword's hilt dug into Kisa's sleeve, injecting chakra that accelerated his healing before Guy's startled eyes.
Fully recovered, Kisa's eyes brightened with battle hunger. He leapt upward, hands forming seals, then expelled a torrent of water from his mouth.
"Water Style: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"
A massive, semi‑circular water prison erupted, subrging half of Konoha. Sleeping villagers awoke choking, gasping beneath its surface, unable to scream. Only ninjas adept at chakra control could survive.
Guy struggled in mid-water but refused to relent. Preparing to strike from his sixth-gate form, he began chanting:
But stopped short as Chiga appeared.
Guy gasped as gallons of water rushed into his mouth. He coughed violently, struggling to breathe. Kisa, peeking from hidden cover, recognized the newcor.
"That's… Chiga!"
Chiga said nothing. He activated his Rinnegan eyes, then raised his right palm. Water from all around stread into his hand like a river being drawn to a dam. Within an instant, the entire water prison vanished.
Villagers, gasping and soaked, stared in awe at Chiga hovering above them. A voice whispered: "It's Hokage-sama—he saved us!"
Guy crashed to solid ground as the prison collapsed. Bewildered, he looked up.
"What were those eyes? That wasn't Sharingan, right?"
Kisa tumbled down, shock evident in his voice.
"No doubt… that's Rinnegan! The sa as the Leader's!"
Crows descended at Kisa's side, swirling into Itachi's form.
Itachi, having sensed the water rising from miles away, realized the danger—and that he'd completely forgotten about Kisa.
He surveyed the damage—the flooded houses, the missing water barrier—and then looked up at Chiga in the night sky. Instant headache. What had just transpired?
