Despite Naruto throwing Deidara high into the air, the scale of the explosion was so immense that it affected the surface of the island with its shockwave.
"What a tremendous destructive force. I never anticipated the explosion would be this massive," remarked Aoba.
"Yes, it's all thanks to Naruto's timely action. Otherwise, whether we would have survived is a big question," exclaimed Yamato in amazement.
Kisame, who was currently in the water outside the island, also witnessed the explosion. He had come here while battling Might Guy.
Watching the explosion, Kisame understood that Deidara had sacrificed himself.
Kisame decided to pass this intelligence to Obito, so he summoned a shark and placed a scroll containing the information of what happened here inside its mouth.
Just at that moment, Might Guy arrived and said, "So, you've put all the intel in that school and placed that scroll inside the mouth of this shark, right?"
"You are quite smart for a beast," said Kisame. After saying this, Kisame summoned even more sharks to confuse Guy, making it difficult for him to find which shark contained the intelligence scroll.
Might Guy also witnessed this spectacle and, with a fierce determination, unleashed his signature technique, 'Morning Peacock.' His fists blazed with fiery intensity as he delivered a barrage of punches aimed at the multiple sharks. The sheer force of his attacks caused many of the sharks to vanish in a billow of white smoke, while others swiftly darted beneath the surface of the water to evade the onslaught.
Amidst the chaos, Kisame observed with a mixture of admiration and wariness. "Punching with such speed that it generates fire due to friction, you truly are a formidable opponent," he remarked, his eyes fixed on the blazing spectacle unfolding before him.
Determined to alter the course of the battle, Might Guy knew he had to escalate his efforts. "This cannot continue," he declared resolutely. With a powerful leap, he propelled himself into the water, his movements fluid and decisive. Activating the 'Eight Inner Gates: Seventh Gate' from the 'Eight Inner Gates: Sixth Gate,' Guy's aura surged with unprecedented power. As the gate's formidable energy coursed through him, the water surrounding him evaporated instantaneously, leaving behind a vast expanse of empty space.
Sensing the shift in momentum, Kisame's expression hardened. "Now you're in my territory," he declared, his voice tinged with a sense of ominous anticipation.
After uttering these words, Kisame unleashed the Great Shark Bomb. Simultaneously, from the opposing side, Might Guy initiated his technique, 'Day Tiger.' The two moves clashed head-on, creating a tumultuous collision.
Expecting his Great Shark Bomb to absorb Might Guy's 'Day Tiger,' Kisame's anticipation proved to be gravely mistaken. The Great Shark Bomb failed to neutralize the 'Day Tiger,' leading Kisame to the realization that 'Day Tiger' wasn't composed of chakra as he had presumed.
Swiftly, the 'Day Tiger' overwhelmed the Great Shark Bomb, striking Kisame with significant force and inflicting severe injuries upon him. The surrounding sharks were also dispersed by the powerful impact, allowing Guy to retrieve the scroll Kisame intended to deliver to Obito.
The repercussions of the 'Day Tiger' were felt even on the island by Naruto and his companions, underscoring the magnitude of the clash between the two formidable techniques.
"What kind of move is this?" Naruto inquired.
"This is Guy's technique, 'Day Tiger'," Yamato explained.
Guiding Kisame to the island, Guy promptly secured him with restraints, and Yamato swiftly bound him.
Turning to Aoba, Yamato instructed, "See if you can extract any information from Kisame."
Aoba nodded and placed his hand on Kisame's head, delving into his memories. Just as Aoba finished reviewing Kisame's past memories before joining Akatsuki, Kisame bit his tongue, thwarting Aoba's attempt to glean further information.
"He bit his own tongue," Aoba reported.
Subsequently, Kisame broke free from the shackles imposed by Yamato.
Observing Kisame's display of strength, Yamato exclaimed, "He still has so much strength left in him."
And just as Yamato was about to restrain Kisame again, Kisame employed the Water Prison Technique, enveloping himself within a sphere of water.
With Kisame now imprisoned, Might Guy attempted to extract him from the water but found himself unable to do so.
Recalling his past actions, Kisame summoned the sharks within the confined water sphere. Without hesitation, the sharks consumed Kisame.
Witnessing this shocking turn of events, everyone present was left in disbelief.
"He sacrificed himself to the sharks to prevent us from obtaining his body. He doesn't want to leave any trace of intelligence," remarked Aoba.
Naruto, gazing at the empty space where Kisame had recently met his demise, reflected, "In Akatsuki, there are individuals like him who would do anything for their comrades."
"Hoshigake Kisame, I will remember you," declared Might Guy, expressing his respect for Kisame's sacrifice.
"Okay, now that our objective for coming to this island is complete, we can leave," said Yamato.
Upon hearing Yamato's words, Naruto nodded, and shortly thereafter, he departed the island with Might Guy.
However, the consequences of using the Seventh Gate finally caught up with Might Guy. He was now feeling the effects, so Yamato carefully carried him.
