Samehada springs into action but Naruto used his right hand to smash Kisame. Meanwhile, Might Guy arrives to the Falls of Truth. He starts to go into the Falls to confront his true self. His true self starts to appear behind the waterfall and ask Guy why he keeps on talking about the power of youth. Guy is furious and demands that his true self confront him.

Later, he killed his superior, who betrayed the village, and took his sword. Then, the Fourth Mizukage approached. Speaking with him, Kisame described his life as one big lie.

Back in present times Kisame bites his tongue and releases himself from stocks.

Chapter 508

"The Way a Shinobi Dies" (忍の死に様, Shinobi no Shinizama)

Kisame bites his own tongue in order to force himself back to consciousness and prevent Aoba Yamashiro from obtaining any information about the Akatsuki from him. He then creates a dome of water around himself preventing Guy from attacking him and summons three sharks within it. He then remembers his first meeting with Itachi and considering Itachi's words, makes his own sharks consume him before Yamato has a chance to stop him. Watching Kisame sacrifice his life, Naruto comments that there are those within the Akatsuki who act to protect their friends. Then Guy says that Kisame lived and died as a true shinobi should and that he will always remember him. Guy then retrieves a scroll filled with information that Kisame had collected and Motoi suggests they take a look at it but when they open the scroll, it turns out to be booby trapped and a dome of water surrounds them while a shark takes the scroll and runs away with it. Meanwhile, Tobi and Konan are shown confronting each other in Amegakure where Tobi asks Konan where she's hidden Nagato and the Rinnegan to which she replies that she knew he would come and that she's been waiting to finish him off. Tobi replies by saying that he will not go easy on her just because she was a former Akatsuki member.

Konan and Tobi face off in Amegakure standing on a lake. Tobi asks what it is about Naruto that made Konan and Nagato quit Akatsuki, and Konan replies that he is light personified and carries a flower called 'hope'. Tobi tells Konan that he was the one who got Yahiko to found Akatsuki, and the one who gave Nagato the Rinnegan. Konan attacks Tobi in an attempt to kill them both. Konan recalls Yahiko, and Nagato calling each other the bridge to peace, and states that she will be the support to both their bridges. Konan then asks if Tobi understands why she betrayed him. He replies no, and she says it's because he's darkness, and a flower will wilt in darkness. She reveals her ultimate technique and splits the lake beneath them in two.

Meanwhile, as Konan's body lays floating in the water a bloodied piece of paper is blown off of Konan's body by the wind. The red paper lands in front of a plank inside the old hideout of the Ame Orphans. The four planks with red paper in front of them symbolise that Jiraiya, and the orphans have all returned home. At the Akatsuki hideout, Tobi with a new outfit declares it's time to capture the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.

Kabuto explains that he will be able to produce even more Zetsu with Yamato. Tobi tells Kabuto to get to work, as his new left eye hungers for battle.

Author's Note

The other night, during a bad rain storm, I happened to peer out the window. "Look at all that rain... What...?!!" It wasn't just the rain! Rainwater had started accumulating on my veranda, forming a pool of water! The drain had gotten clogged, and it created a scene similar to the one in Ponyo! I was afraid for the first time in a while...
