SUMMARY:

Samehada's power comes at a price: it gradually devours its wielder's memories. But in Kisame's opinion, that's a small price to pay. After all, how can he miss something he can scarcely recall ever possessing?

Better to pay the toll. Better to be strong. Better to use that strength to create a new world, one where silly things like memory loss won't matter.

It is better—isn't it?
