Five Kage Summit arc
Master Sabu was training his student Killer Bee, urging him to show more passion in his singing. As they practice, Kisame arrives, preparing to capture Killer Bee. Sabu calls out to Ponta to stop his charge as Kisame prepares to attack . Kisame quickly defeats Ponta without a scratch, and calls him a strange bear. Enraged, Sabu attacks Kisame. Killer Bee attempted to quickly dispatch Kisame with a lightning charged pencil. Kisame was able to dodge it and Sabu uses his large axe to fight Kisame. Kisame countered Sabu's attack with his own sword. Killerbee sent a lightning charged sword at Kisame from one direction while attacking with another sword. Kisame drained the lightning quickly but was grazed by the sword in his left shoulder. Killerbee then used his Four Tailed Transformation to headbutt Kisame. Samehada absorbed all of the chakra. Sabu was able to notice the Samehada's powers. Kisame allowed Samehada to transform.
