Kisame May Be Dead

[fe10]

I think there's blood on the trees next to itachi, could it be that he killed kisame. And I think itachi has ms activated on his eyes. Or the blood could be from sai. he may be dead or injured.

[Mashmaro]

Who knows? Itachi can act in mysterious ways...I haven't noticed yet, but thanks for say it. Maybe Itachi was fed-up of Kisame and killed him (Then Suigetsu can rob the Samehada if he can) You know, he always says "something else, desu ne" and that can fed-up. Nice theory ;D

[caco]

i hope kisame dont die without give a good fight also i want kisame die in hands of Guy sensei.

[nahkampfbiber]

kisame is too cool to die offscreen...

[AxelCross]

I think that those conclusions are way to early to make, far too hasty. First, I personally think that Kisame and Itachi have some sort of bond and trust between them, if only the ever slightest bit. I don't see any reason for Itachi to kill Kisame, it'd only hurt him, draw suspicion towards him, and above all, he'd lose an ally that, for the most part, seems to listen to him intently.

As for Sai, well I can't say, that too is to hasty. While we don't know where Sai is, once again, I don't see how killing Sai would benefit Itachi. Itachi also isn't the type to kill needlessly, he's much like Sasuke (or the other way around) in that way, he only kills when it's definitely needed to survive and/or reach a goal. Also, Itachi does not have the Mangekyou Sharingan activated, you can clearly see this on the first panel of page 17 (MangaShare scantalation), there is no connection or expansion of the tomoe in Itachi's eyes, it's just his normal Sharingan he always has activated.

Just my thoughts on this.

I don't see any blood, or for that matter anything that particularly looks like blood. Your imagining things.

I think this is the blood he mentioned:

thats not blood. its just the way the tree ways drawn. and no, why would itachi kill kisame? really now

[eroda]

one more option it could be sasukes, blood used to draw them closer? so he can capture him

sasuke didhnt know that karin asked jugo
to tell the animals to take the clohtes he didhnt even know she had it

[Crude]

I wasn't sure if it was blood actually. I also don't believe that Itachi would kill Kisame either.

[AxelCross]

Ah, that? That doesn't look like blood at all, in any way, at least to me. It looks like bark on the tree to show age or possibly burn. Either way, I really don't think that's blood. First, Kishimoto would make sure we knew what it was, there's no point in tricking us about something such as blood on a tree, he'd make it clear. Second, like I said, Itachi has absolutely no reason to kill anyone right now, it would only hurt him, not help him. I mean, if someone can come up with a logical, realistic reason as to why Itachi would kill Kisame (we all know Sasuke is alive and far way from Itachi and the Naruto Kage Bunshin, that rules that out), then I'm all ears, but I don't think there is one, it doesn't make any sense to me.

I'm saying it's just bark, and that some people are reaching for something that's not there. Not that this is a negative thing, sometimes it turns out to be true, but this seems extremely far fetched and odd, Itachi killing someone at this point, that is.

i thought that was a burnt mark from itachi's ameratsu

[OhDearMoshe]

i thought that was a burnt mark from itachi's ameratsu

Wouldn't that completely decimate the tree?

[segua]

Yea, the tree wouldn't be standing, lol.

@nahkampfbiber: Agree, Kisame is just too cool to die offscreen. Love the guy. Funny yet strong.

[nick97colt@hotmail]

maybe he was using the fire instead of throwing a kunai

[segua]

I doubt Suigetsu could take down Kisame. Well maybe it will be a hard fight because Kisame uses water jutsu while Suigetsu is well, water.

[AxelCross]

I doubt Suigetsu could take down Kisame. Well maybe it will be a hard fight because Kisame uses water jutsu while Suigetsu is well, water.

It's far too early to judge Suigetsu in the least, we haven't seen him do a single jutsu, just swing his sword around violently, and in terms of defense, physical attacks seem to only make him burst into water, in which he can reform in a matter of seconds. So for all we know, Suigetsu could kick Kisame's ass. We should wait until we see Suigetsu fight seriously instead of goofing around, he didn't even look like he was serious when fighting Juugo.

[MadFiqRidz]

Kisame dying like that is terrible. He isn't dead yet.

[walkie]

waooww..a theory from nowhere&no clue, but it is very creative :D

[weird_h]

so far, all akatsuki death will be in dramatic manner....
I will protest if any of akatsuki died ofscreen or stupidly....

[pjoto]

Itachi is strong, but Kisame wouldn't have gotten killed without putting up a fight, he's got the most chakra in all of Akatsuki and is well known as one badass ninja. So there should be more destruction if there had been a fight, also, Naruto and the croud would have heard the fight, or smelled them if there was blood.

Secoundly, there's no blood in any of the pictures, just trees.

Thirdly, why kill your partner when you're up against a bunch of different ninjas which holds Orochimaru's test subjects, and two opponents with Sharingan, a Jinchuri plus some other bloodline-ninjas. It's just bad tactics.


Fourth, if he killed Kisame there would be a body or more blood near by, but there's nothing else there.
And if you say "well maby he didn't kill him right there", then why would there be any blood there? (on the tree) (which by the way there isn't).

This should crack your theory. Sorry, but Kisame is still alive, or, atleast nothing indicates that he is dead.

[aimaimaim]

he was out of the picture in the last page because he pissed... the only character i saw that tooked a dump/piss was naruto.. lol.. XD

yeah.. i agree with nahkampfbiber.. he will won't be killed offscreen.. that would be the dumbest thing ever.. lol

[SOCKSnTHONGS]

the mark on the tree is a bit suss but i don't think so. itachi has no reason to kill kisame, they get along relatively well anyway

more importantly what's with the bird and why did it have some sort of bandage on it?
but htat's beside the point

[ArashiKazamaThe4th]

yeah i agree it could be the blood

[Killuah]

I don't think Kisame's dead that would be really really lame + although Itachi may be stronger than Kisame, he wouldn't defeat him without getting injured at all. He's not even sweating and his cloak is completly clean.

It's one of Juugo's birds with Sasuke clothes. You remember Karin did that so Kiba can't find them by smell

[ShadowStrike]

i'l be pretty gutted if Kisame dies. He's pretty cool for a bad guy. Always loyal, always smiling.

[Windmillblade]

I dont think he's dead i think he is being misled. It is possible itachi has a super clone bunshin with kisame while doing his own thing in the background. itachi knows about madara and no one ealse in akatsuki does. I read somewhere in a spoiler about two years ago that Kisame while be killed by Rock Lee by way of All the gates and three bunshins. A technique he came up with by playing a video game.

[silvermane]

Unlikely, mainly because Itachi has no one else to counter hebi with.
And he knows he will have to face sasuke alone. Even though it has been accepted that no one in hebi will be able to face itachi alone its quite obvious that he would not be foolish enough to take on all 4 of them at the same time....
He's supposed to be abrilliant ninja.... It would be stupid to get injured taking on all 4 when he could easily get the 3 out of the way with the help of kisame and face sasuke alone...
not only would it give him time to talk to sasuke, it would mean he gets to have kisame by his side while he goes on whatever misssion he has to go on from there.

There is also the point that kisame seems to listen to itachi and Itachi seems to be the one leading the two of them. So kisame may be around still - furthermore we only saw bunshins from itachi we have not seen the real person yet... he probably is still with kisame .

[krazykone12]

If Itachi and Kisame went at it, you'd see more than just a blotch on a tree... desu ne lol

[ibblows]

its possible because im not convinced itachi is bad. However, all the itachi's we've seen have been shadowclones recently right? The real one could still be with kisame no doubt.

completely agree. Just cause we haven't seen them in a while, doesn't mean they're dead. If that were the case, ino is dead, chouji is dead, zetsu is dead, sai is dead, you get the point.
