Were Kisame and Itachi "Friends", even at it's lowest definition?

Just as the title says. I would say barely, as Itachi might have had respect for Kisame as a shinobi.

I think they were pretty good friends. It seems they respected one another.

They both respected each other for sure. I think Kisame considers him a friend though Itachi might've stopped caring after he assasinated his clan.

Well seeing how they would casually chat while walking suggest a certain level of friendship. Not text each other everyday, but message each other on Facebook now and then.

Most of the akatsuki members are similar to any other shinobi although they stand out as a "bad" character, itachi had a respect for a lot of them including pain and kisame

they were bond professionally as a "colleague" and i wouldnt say friends as that word is too "friendly" given that their relationship are not as jovial as it should.

Meh, they respected each other, but I wouldn't consider them to be friends. After Itachi died and Sasuke joined the Akatsuki, all Kisame did was laugh and talk about how ironic it was or something. IDK though, meybe they were friends on some levels.

^ Heh heh. Well Itachi and Kisame got along a whole lot more than Hidan and Kakuzu did. That's for sure!

Yes friends

From conversation to thoughts it grew respect to a actual friendship similar to mad & hash

Kisame reminisced about his 1st encounter with itachi
Itachi wasn't glad to see samehada without kisame

those two are the most loyal & professional nin so they clearly naturally got along being probably the second longest partnership in the akatsuki they bonded

They were the second closest team right after nagato and Konan. Kisame said sorry when everyone thought sasuke was dead and itachi acknowledged that kisame was dead when he saw the samehada with bee. They were at least decent friends.

Ranked teams in terms of friendship

Nagato & Konan
Itachi $ kisame
Obito & zetsu
Sasori & deidara
Kakuzu & hidan
