You are the new member of Akatsuki and after Itachi's death, you became Kisame's partner.

He was very hostile to you from the very beginning, but that's only because he misses Itachi and actually he values you too and doesn't want you to leave him here alone...

On one of the missions, you went together and you told him something enthusiastically again, but then abruptly fell silent, thinking that he was not interested. He just looked at you and said, without slowing down, "Don't be silent. Talk to me."
