Hidden Cloud Village.
Surrounded by mountains.
Raikage Building.
Looking at the screen.
Yugito Nii asked the Fourth Raikage curiously, "Did an assassination like that really happen in the Village?"
Assassinating a Jinchuriki!
Leaving aside whether it could succeed or not.
Such an act would already be considered a major event threatening Hidden Cloud Village, wouldn't it?
The Fourth Raikage was momentarily at a loss.
He kept pondering, his dark face etched in thought.
But he had no recollection whatsoever.
He turned to Killer Bee.
"Do you remember anything?"
Killer Bee, wearing sunglasses, kept his eyes hidden.
He moved his limbs in a coordinated fashion.
His posture was quite cool and amusing.
"♫ You ask me about such things, I don't know at all ♫"
"♫ In my eyes, Motoi is my good companion ♫"
"♫ Everyone has good memories, how could there be an assassination ♫"
"♫ Clearly the screen is causing trouble again, it's a hater of Killer Bee ♫"
Whenever the screen showed his cool poses, he would praise it.
When the screen showed ambiguous things, he would curse it.
This was the attitude of a rapper, simple and direct!
So cool!!
[Naruto: "Why? Didn't you just say you respected Octopus Uncle a lot?"]
[Yamato: "There must be some hidden reason."]
[Motoi seemed to have made a decision, slowly raising his slightly bowed head to look at Naruto, and softly uttered,]
["This is an atonement, I guess."]
[Then he began his narration.]
["Since you, like Killer Bee, are a Jinchuriki, I can tell you the whole story of that incident."]
["It happened thirty years ago."]
["At that time, the Jinchuriki couldn't fully control the Eight-Tails, and the Eight-Tails lost control multiple times, causing destruction to Kumogakure."]
["The Third Raikage and the elites had to organize efforts to stop the Eight-Tails' rampage every time."]
["Although they could stop the rampaging Eight-Tails and seal it in the Sealing Pot, there were numerous casualties every time."]
["Although the risk was extremely high, in order to maintain an advantageous position in the struggle against other countries,"]
["The power of the Eight-Tails still needed to be controlled."]
["So, experiments on the Jinchuriki continued."]
[As if tired from speaking, Motoi sat down on the grass.]
["And one of the many deceased was my father."]
[Naruto stared at Motoi, imagining that scene, his face solemn.]
[Yamato: "Because Killer Bee killed your father, so..."]
[Motoi: "No, it's not like that!"]
["Killer Bee was once my friend..."]
At that time.
Motoi and Killer Bee were both five years old.
Before this incident.
The two had a very good relationship.
They greeted each other with a fist bump.
They trained their taijutsu together in the training ground.
They encouraged and supervised each other.
Motoi had always admired Killer Bee's Talent in taijutsu.
He was very proud to have such a companion.
Then this happened.
That day.
The training ground.
Motoi clearly remembered.
His final fist bump with Killer Bee was interrupted.
Killer Bee, still extending his fist, was instantly taken away by two Anbu members.
This regret.
It felt like it would stay with him for a lifetime.
Watching Killer Bee's retreating back as he was taken away.
Five-year-old Motoi vaguely felt.
This seemed to signify that their relationship would never be connected again.
["Soon after, Killer Bee was chosen as the Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails."]
Cemetery.
Motoi was mourning his father.
Killer Bee came over with a bouquet of white flowers.
Silently.
He wanted to comfort his former friend.
But Motoi ignored him, passing by as if he hadn't seen him.
Leaving the stunned five-year-old Killer Bee alone.
Reasons are always complex.
Killer Bee was a Jinchuriki, and his father was killed by a Tailed Beast.
It was impossible for them to be as close as before... ["I used to think that it was impossible to control the Eight-Tails, and there would be more victims."]
[Since his father's sacrifice,]
[Motoi's mother cried all day long.]
[The house was in disarray, and she had no heart to tidy it up.]
[Five-year-old Motoi watched this scene.]
The hatred in his heart grew deeper and deeper.
All this mess.
All this loneliness.
It all started the moment his father was killed by the Eight-Tails!
And now.
The Eight-Tails was inside Killer Bee.
[He finally couldn't hold back and decided to seek revenge.]
["Killer Bee always had a smile on his face."]
["I began to hate that innocent smile."]
["All my resentment towards the Eight-Tails transferred to Killer Bee, who was its Jinchuriki."]
["I thought, if I killed Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails would die."]
By the river.
That assassination attempt.
Five-year-old Motoi, with his face and body covered, secretly hid.
Seeing Killer Bee's unguarded back.
He decisively rushed over with a kunai.
The result.
Killer Bee seemed to have eyes in the back of his head; he turned around.
The weapon on his back coincidentally deflected the kunai.
The kunai fell into the river nearby.
Killer Bee smiled and extended his fist as a gesture.
As if he wanted to fist bump him.
At that moment, Motoi.
Was so shocked that he felt as if he had become the perpetrator.
Did he know he was trying to assassinate him or not!
How could he not know?
The sound of the kunai colliding, the sound of the kunai falling into the water.
And his own strange attire.
But knowing all this, why did he still want to fist bump him!
Motoi knew Killer Bee.
As long as he fist bumped Killer Bee, he would become his companion!
At that time, Motoi was ashamed and angry!
And even more flustered!
["...I fled in terror."]
["Although my face was covered at the time, Killer Bee must have noticed me."]
["After that, I never spoke to him again."]
[Yamato: "If that's the case, why do you respect Killer Bee so much now?"]
["The resentment didn't disappear immediately."]
["After that, I continued to monitor Killer Bee."]
["It turned out I wasn't the only one."]
["Killer Bee was also constantly being..."]
["Alienated and disliked by the villagers."]
Killer Bee, practicing his songs on the street.
Would suddenly be hit on the head by raw eggs.
Like a criminal being paraded through the streets.
Before he could even wipe the egg liquid from his face and hair.
Countless more raw eggs came flying.
"Get lost, you're an eyesore!"
["He was chosen as a Jinchuriki for political reasons."]
["Even though his existence was to protect the Village, he was still constantly ostracized by the villagers."]
But.
The five-year-old Killer Bee, after a moment of stunned silence, wiped the egg white from his face.
After licking a bit, a smile reappeared on his face.
Then he started rapping on the street again.
Walking and singing.
All those "disturbances."
Seemed to become a source of inspiration for his creativity.
He sang with more and more vigor!
He danced with more and more joy!
Motoi, who secretly observed this scene, was so shocked that the kunai in his hand fell to the ground.
["This was a life that ordinary people simply couldn't endure."]
["It was then that I realized."]
["Killer Bee's suffering was greater than mine."]
[Yamato: "Why are you telling us this?"]
["Actually, I wanted to tell Killer Bee, but the reason I confided in Naruto..."]
["Is because you are both Jinchuriki, right?"]
["But one day,"]
["I still have to tell Killer Bee the truth."]
["Otherwise, it won't be an atonement."]
[At this moment,]
[Naruto and Yamato were already shocked by the complex relationship between Motoi and Killer Bee.]
