An Existence of Falsehoods…!!

Guy brings Kisame down, and with the swordsman knocked out and bound by Yamato's Wood Release, Aoba begins pulling memories from his past. Those recollections reach back to Kisame's days serving Kirigakure, where he guarded the Cypher Division and cut down his own comrades once he feared the secret codes might leak. He later turned on a superior who had betrayed the village and claimed the man's blade, Samehada, as his own. When the Fourth Mizukage came to him, their conversation led Kisame to sum up his whole existence as one enormous falsehood. He then noticed a hidden figure pulling the Mizukage's strings, a man who pledged to free him from that web of lies and named himself Madara Uchiha. In the present, Kisame bites down on his tongue and wrenches himself loose from the restraints.

Guy defeats Kisame, letting Yamato and Aoba probe his sealed history. The flashback reveals Kisame killing his own allies to protect classified information, slaying a traitorous superior, and taking Samehada. His meeting with the puppet-controlled Fourth Mizukage introduces the masked figure claiming to be Madara Uchiha. Back in the present, Kisame injures himself to break free of the stocks.

The chapter belongs to the Fourth Shinobi World War: Countdown storyline and was gathered into volume 54. Its Viz release carries the title A False Existence…!!
