Konoha.
Ninja Academy.
Observation Deck.
Naruto was truly shocked.
He hadn't expected Killer Bee, the Octopus Uncle, to have such a past.
Former close friends going their separate ways, even attempting murder!
And throwing eggs like that.
Naruto hadn't experienced anything like it.
Compared to the Octopus Uncle, he seemed to have had it a bit better.
However, Motoi's actions were certainly not something to be blamed for.
He was only five years old at the time.
He mistakenly believed that by killing Killer Bee, he could kill the Eight-Tails and avenge his father.
Hatred always accumulates little by little.
From the graveyard, to the mess in his home, then recalling the past... his relationship with Killer Bee also drifted apart little by little.
Naruto had Iruka-sensei and companions like Shikamaru from a young age.
Looking at it this way.
The living conditions for Jinchuriki in Hidden Cloud Village were much harsher than for Jinchuriki in Konoha.
And yet, Killer Bee became a remarkably cheerful person in such an environment!
At this moment, Naruto began to understand Killer Bee's previous impoliteness.
Perhaps there was some misunderstanding.
After understanding Killer Bee's experience.
Naruto then thought of the Waterfall of Truth.
Does Killer Bee have no dark side... is that why he could pass it in one go?
Yamato saw his own figure appear on the screen.
At first, he found it quite novel, as if he was being exposed to the Ninja World.
Later, as he immersed himself in the content of the screen, his mood became peaceful.
Speaking of which.
Yamato was not surprised that he would become Naruto's teacher in the future.
He possessed Wood Release.
Naruto was a Jinchuriki.
Their abilities were naturally suited to be paired together.
Later, after hearing the story of Killer Bee and Motoi on the screen.
Yamato inexplicably felt that the Ninja World might not be as Pain had described it earlier.
'People can never truly understand each other.'
This sentence was quite thought-provoking.
When Pain on the screen first said it.
He had secretly kept it in mind.
At this moment, he recalled that sentence again.
It seemed to be the fate of Jinchuriki to be feared and loathed by villagers.
But Jinchuriki could understand each other.
Just like in the Chunin Exams Arc, when Naruto understood Gaara.
Presumably, on the screen at this moment.
Naruto also understood Killer Bee.
And now Motoi's "confession."
Yamato could also understand it.
Because Motoi confessed his emotional journey.
He confessed the change in his attitude towards Killer Bee.
He was truly confessing.
Hidden Cloud Village.
Surrounded by mountains.
Raikage Building.
Everyone present was stunned.
Killer Bee watched the screen expressionlessly.
Actually, he wasn't angry.
He just felt as if a new memory had suddenly appeared in his mind.
He was a bit dazed.
Oh, there really was an assassination attempt.
But he didn't care!
Fourth Raikage: "Killer Bee, Motoi says he's repenting, but who knows if he still harbors ill intentions! Should we not just throw him in a cell and question him properly? Killer Bee! What's your opinion!"
The Fourth Raikage would severely punish anyone who harmed the villagers.
Especially if the target of the harm was his younger brother.
Earlier, when Killer Bee said he didn't remember, he thought Motoi on the screen was just joking.
Now that he had heard the full "confession."
He had no reason to tolerate it.
Everyone in the office turned their gaze to Killer Bee.
He could decide what punishment Motoi would receive.
Just then.
Killer Bee extended both hands.
He snapped his fingers with both hands simultaneously, seemingly in a rhythmic fashion.
Then he lightly tapped his feet on the ground.
"♫ Such a small matter, not worth mentioning ♫"
"♫ If Motoi hadn't said it, I would have long forgotten ♫"
"♫ I'm in good shape now, completely unharmed ♫"
"♫ After hearing Motoi's story, I feel great pity ♫"
"♫ Trust my choice, trust Killer Bee on the screen ♫"
"♫ It's not forgiving such foolishness, it's just simply not caring ♫"
He expressed his attitude through rap.
Killer Bee once again proved his rapping skills.
At this moment, everyone in the office fell silent after listening.
Everyone secretly developed a hint of respect for the positive and cheerful Killer Bee.
[By the island]
[On the intersecting conical rocks]
[Naruto, wearing an orange training suit, was meditating there.]
After listening to the story of Killer Bee and Motoi.
He left by himself.
He found this quiet place to think.
In his mind, he thought of his own dark side... 'Look, it's that kid.'
'Listen carefully, don't you dare go near him.'
'Get lost.'
And now.
'We've always believed in you, you're a hero, Naruto.'
'Thank you, Naruto.'
Gaara had a similar experience.
'I am the Village's dangerous tool, to them, I am a historical remnant they want to erase.'
'Gaara is the Kazekage, don't talk nonsense, you small fry.'
'Lord Gaara is silent, cool, strong, handsome, and an elite.'
['Octopus Uncle gained everyone's trust, and Gaara became the Kazekage.']
['They fought tirelessly for the villagers and gained recognition.']
[Naruto forced a smile.]
['I also received... from Iruka-sensei and my classmates...']
[Unfortunately, he didn't seem to be able to convince himself much.]
[Suddenly]
['Ah!!!']
[Hearing such a scream, Naruto quickly leaped a few steps to the source of the sound.]
[He saw a huge octopus grabbing Motoi's body.]
Motoi was a Chunin, unable to escape this island specialty, a giant squid.
['Uncle Motoi!']
['Why, why!']
[Naruto watched this scene in shock.]
[Finally, he couldn't help but shout: "Stop, Octopus Uncle!!!"]
He originally thought this was Killer Bee transformed.
He thought the Octopus Uncle was attacking to get revenge on Motoi.
['Uncle Motoi really...']
['Trusted you—']
[As soon as he finished speaking.]
[A hip-hop BGM started playing.]
With a superb sense of rhythm.
Leading the fashion trends of the Ninja World.
The sound of a huge speaker seemed to appear out of nowhere.
[The person was not seen, but the voice was heard first.]
["♫ Regardless of mood, save lives! ♫"]
["♫ That's my duty, my obligation! ♫"]
["♫ My Eight-Tails makes another appearance! ♫"]
["♫ Squid, get out of the way, all else omitted! ♫"]
[Just then]
[The gigantic Eight-Tails Gyūki suddenly emerged from the sea.]
[Stirring up layers of waves.]
[Gyūki's huge bull head opened its mouth wide, seemingly also rapping.]
[Its entire body performed rap poses with great agility.]
[It looked as if it were Killer Bee's incarnation.]
[One punch, one hand chop.]
[Pain appeared on the monstrous face of the giant squid.]
[Immediately, it released the tentacles clutching Motoi.]
[On the stone spire]
[Watching the Octopus Uncle coolly resolve the danger.]
[Naruto's face seemed to be infected, and he laughed brightly.]
['Octopus Uncle!']
[A moment later]
[Naruto, Yamato, Killer Bee, and Motoi gathered in one place.]
[Motoi: "Killer Bee, why did you save me?"]
[Killer Bee: "Hmm?"]
He didn't understand the situation.
He saved him, that's all.
Why ask why?
[Motoi: "Killer Bee, you must have noticed, I wanted to..."]
["I wanted to kill you!"]
["Why would you still!"]
Why would he still raise his fist for a fist bump at that time!
Why would he still save him at this moment!
[Killer Bee grunted with a rough voice.]
[The words he spoke from his dark, rugged face were incredibly relaxed and natural.]
["Was there such a thing?"]
["I only remember"]
["♫ Me and Motoi, me and Motoi, happy times with Motoi ♫"]
["♫ The two of us went to train together, even if we failed, we were happy, so happy ♫"]
["♫ Laughing together, truly feeling friendship ♫"]
[Killer Bee sang and felt like dancing.]
[Waving his arms freely.]
["♫ Times with Motoi ♫"]
[Finally, Killer Bee raised his right hand.]
[He performed the same fist bump again.]
[A regret of twenty-five years.]
[Motoi's eyes welled up with tears, and he successfully fist-bumped Killer Bee.]
[Naruto stood nearby as a witness.]
[At this moment, he was as happy as a child.]
[Raising both hands to celebrate for the two of them.]
["Yeah!!!"]
["Hehe!!"]
