Episode Title:
The Man Named Kisame.
Episode Description:
After being defeated by Guy, Kisame is retrained by Yamato so Aoba can gather intel. Aoba peered in Kisame's memory of killing a cipher team per his assignment when their capture by Hidden Leaf Ninja is immediate, later killing his superior to take his place among the Seven Swordsmen while learning the Fourth Mizukage Yagura Karatachi is controlled by an unmasked Tobi. Before Aoba can see Tobi's face, Kisame bit his tongue to regain consciousness and breaks out of his restrains to create a water dome around himself. Having joined the Akatsuki because Tobi promised him a world without lies, remembering Itachi's words of how one finds self-worth at the moment of their death, Kisame allows himself to be devoured by his shark summons. The group is impressed by Kisame's resolution towards his comrade that Guy finally acknowledges Kisame. But when they open the scroll Kisame intended to deliver, they trigged a trap and are contained in water prisons as a summoned shark spirits the scroll away.
