Author's note: Yea, haven't updated for a while..It's all because of the week long unit tests and projects!NO! anyway, here's the chapter. XD

Midori's POV

I watched as Kisame walked towards me ever so confidently with a smug smirk plastered on his sharky face that I almost want to rip it off his blue face. I looked at Pein who nodded at us as a signal to start. I smirked and dashed towards Kisame while doing various hand seals.

"Fire release: Gigantic fireball!" I felt chakra surge towards my lungs and a huge fireball thrice my size shot out of my mouth like a flaming meteor.

I watched as the fireball went straight for Kisame, but my eyebrows furrowed in confusion as I saw that he didn't show any intention to dodge it, but stupid me because I paid no mind in it. As it hit the ground next to him, I squinted my eyes to see through the fog and rubble that had gathered and smiled to myself as I saw no sign of movements.

Well, that was an easy win. I thought triumphantly.

Then my eyes widened. My jaw dropped in shock. There he was, standing in the middle of it all. But something is wrong. The flames is somehow decreasing. As if the very core of it's energy is being sucked towards him. No, not him. But..

His..sword..Did he just absorb my chakra using his sword?! He turned to me and smirked as he saw my reaction. He walked towards me casually as he took out his sword and I saw that he already removed the bandages restraining his weapon. I hesitantly took a good look at it and realized something.

Why does his sword looks like a..shark?! I had a feeling that I already saw it. Somewhere! Ah! It has been when- My thoughts had been cut off when I sensed Kisame's humongous chakra dashing towards me as he swung his shark like sword towards me.

Why is his chakra reserves that high?!

I quickly pulled out a kunai and blocked the hit sluggishly. But the force made me slide a few meters. I quickly jumped away and looked at my arms that is bleeding slighly. I looked at it in shock. I managed to block it right? Then why is it-

Then I heard a scraping sound and looked up to see Kisame walking towards me, dragging his sword with him. And I noticed that his sword is making scrape marks, or rather scraping the floor beneath him. I narrowed my eyes.

Ah, I see. So his sword is somehow shaving everything around it huh. Even chakra itself. I thought as I jumped back in time as Kisame tried to hit me again with his sword. Then all I need to do is avoid it right? I smirked as I jumped away again thinking a plan to defeat Tuna-head.

Kisame cocked his head to the side to face me. "What? Gonna run away forever?" I glared at him. "Or are you scared of my Samehada?" He stroked his sword which gave a growling noise. My body tensed. Samehada? Where did I hear that name before?.

Then my eyes widened in recognition. "You're...Hoshigaki Kisame, The tailless tailed beast aren't you? Wielder of the chakra absorbing sword, Samehada."

He smirked at me and a gleam of amusement sparked in his beady black eyes. "So, you have heard of me,huh? My, how flattering."

I glared at him. "Shut up. I encountered you once in my early days at ANBU. And I'll defeat you no matter what." He just laughed at me.

"Oh, how so? You think you have a chance on Samehada? You can't even hit me! Just give up!" He said while gesturing to his sword.

He's right. I thought angrily. I cannot hit him, unless...
