You'd better try to read the whole page carefully, not just some part of it. "The next iteration" means that Kisame survived to the Akatsuki already under the rule of Tobi (Obito) who stepped in instead of Pain. Of course, Kisame died, but as a member of "Tobi's Akatsuki" rather than "Pain's Akatsuki". I know, kinda complicated, yet this is how it works.

Besides, any questions about articles' improvements belong to the particular acticle talkpage (in case you don't know).
