Naruto 493-496

Another catch-up post, this time for everyone's favorite/least favorite ninja series.

It sure took long enough to get to this stage.

Naruto 493
Naruto faces against his evil clone/true self without much success and is kicked back into the real world in front of the waterfall. Motoi then starts going off about how awesome Killer Bee is (handling all the hate and becoming a host to help his bro). When Naruto asks Motoi to assist in his training, Motoi declines because he's no qualified as he has tried to kill Killer Bee before.

Naruto 494
Motoi tells the story of how he tried to kill Killer Bee. Motoi and Killer Bee were childhood friends before Killer bee became the host. During that time, Motoi's father was killed by the eight-tails when the beast rampaged. As the previous host died during the battle, Killer Bee was chosen as the replacement. This caused Motoi to hate Killer Bee and eventually Motoi tried to assassinate Bee, but Bee stopped attack and still treated Motoi as a friend. After hearing the story, Naruto meditates on his own near the shore to think about things, but he, Motoi and Yamato are attacked by the giant squid. Naruto misidentifies the squid as Killer Bee and fails to do anything, and the real Killer Bee shows up to rescue Motoi from the squid.

Naruto 495
Killer Bee agrees to help Naruto tame the nine-tails and immediately rips off Naruto's signature "dattebayo" for his rhymes. Under Bee's guidance, Naruto goes back to the Waterfall of Truth and quickly disposes his evil/true self with a hug. Killer Bee then leads Naruto and the others into a temple behind the waterfall for the next stage of training.

Naruto 496
Inside the sacred temple, Naruto and Killer Bee play a joke on Yamato where Naruto makes Yamato thinks that his head was bitten off by a statute. After fooling around, Killer Bee leads Naruto and Yamato into a white room where Naruto is to confront the nine-tails. Inside his own spiritual plane, Naruto releases the nine-tails from its seal and tries to pull the beast's chakra towards himself. Killer Bee tries to help, but the nine-tails kicks him out so Naruto is left to win the chakra tug-of-war on his own.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nothing out of the ordinary happened over the last four chapters. As expected, Killer Bee agreed to help Naruto, but Naruto is still a few chapter away from completing his training. I thought the waterfall training was dragged a little longer than it should have been. The waterfall training was actually really short, but it was extended by Motoi's story which sounded half-assed. I suppose Killer Bee needs the extra background info. The training is only beginning to build up. Naruto vs. the nine-tails will probably take a while to finish. Hopefully something interesting will happen along the way (such as Kisame attacking Killer Bee).
