Agreed 100% for sure, I've been saying this for ages
tyce that's an interesting point, all shinobi have been brought up to fear the 9tails so yeah, that does make sense...Quite a lot of sense actually.
His facial expression would suggest samehada has liked others' chakras before.
In actuality samehada appears to simply like strong chakras, and as kisame has as much as a tailed beast without samehada, that's why samehada liked him so much.
I am hoping once the 8tails is sealed samehada will go back to Kisame as Kisame will be the next highest chakra.
Of course if Kisame fights Naruto...hmmm...Samehada might like 9tails more.
I really hope Kisame survives he's only just started to show himself off.
Either way, he wiped Bee out incredibly fast by himself, I dont think any Akatsuki has taken out a Jinchuriki that fast, and even more amazing is its the 8tails, and he got him in under an hour (or so it seems)
Had samehada not betrayed Kisame itd be a 100% ownage, but now bee might get a hit back.
I'd love to see Kisame vs Jiraiya, because in theory Toads can breathe underwater so J-man wont have to worry about suffocating in that giant ball of water Kisame used.
I think it goes without saying that the strongest akatsuki duo is Kisame & Itachi hands down.
Kisame sucks your chakra dry, and you have to not look at itachis eyes or body as he can cast genjutsu with just a finger, while youre suspended in water with 2 minutes of oxygen left, with amaterasu burning you and susanoo covering both of them from attack.
Damn thats one hell of a combo
