Naruto Shippūden (ナルト 疾風伝)

How am I supposed to beat that guy?

Well that, I do not know.

Octopops trained here too, right?

I can ask him…

No, he won't tell me.

Not with that attitude.

Probably not.

I wonder if Octopops had a dark half too?

Hey, Mr. Motoi…

Can you tell me more about Octopops?

Like how he grew up, and his personality.

Maybe I can get some hints from that.

Maybe I can figure out the difference between us.

If you're a Jinchuriki,

you can imagine the kind of life he's had to lead, can't you?!

I sure can!

And that dude should be able to imagine what it's like for me!

I don't like talking about other people.

But Naruto, you're a Jinchuriki just like Master Bee.

Being able to control the Nine Tails has a direct effect on world peace.

I'll do it.

Thank you!

I told you earlier…

Since you're also a Jinchuriki,

you can imagine the kind of life he's had.

And it's just as you would imagine…

Formidable power breeds fear and antagonism.

Bee has always been shunned and

considered a nuisance by the villagers.

But he never got depressed or complained even once.

He was always cheerful…

always trying to work the people around him.

More than anything,

instead of being ashamed that he was a Jinchuriki,

he didn't hide that fact.

To me, he seemed to take pride in himself.

Yo.

The reason why he was able to take pride in being a Jinchuriki…

was probably because of his older brother, the Raikage.

From days past, in order to prevent betrayal,

Jinchuriki have commonly been selected from close blood relations

of the Five Kage like siblings, or even spouses.

A Jinchuriki is a power used to protect the Kage,

the head of the village.

It is also a symbol of the Kage's strength.

I think Master Bee tried to be a fine Jinchuriki

for Lord Raikage's sake.

It's said that he mastered his training

at the Waterfall of Truth in no time.

I deeply respect the kind of person Master Bee is.

I consider him to be one of the heroes of the Hidden Cloud.

Such a well-loved Jinchuriki.

Master Bee must be quite a person. And you too.

I know!

Can you ask the Octopops for training hints on my behalf, Motoi?

I can't do that.

Why not?!

I have no right to request such a thing.

I once tried to kill Master Bee!

Killer Bee and Motoi

Why?! You just said you respected Octopops.

You seem to have a reason.

So what is it?

This is a confession.

You're a Jinchuriki like Bee,

so I think it's okay to tell you about that incident.

Incident?

This took place 30 years ago…

Back then, the Jinchuriki's power was not strong enough

to completely control the Eight Tails.

The Eight Tails often went on a rampage

and wreaked havoc on the Hidden Cloud.

Every time that happened,

the Third Raikage, the Kage at that time,

and his elite staff would stop the Eight Tails.

Listen! I want you to stop the Eight Tails' movements.

While you're doing that,

I will imprison him in a Sealing Urn.

Understood.

Okay, get to it.

Damn it! The chain forged from the Sealing Jutsu…

Don't give up!

If we give up, Hidden Cloud Village will be destroyed.

All right, this should…

Now! Pin him down!

Don't mess with me, lowly humans!

They were somehow able to suppress the Eight Tails' rampages

and shove him back into the Sealing Urn.

But there were fatalities each time.

However, despite the risk,

it was crucial to control the Eight Tails

in order to preserve the power balance between nations.

Experiments continued with the Jinchuriki.

Among the many who died or were injured…

was my father.

Master Bee killed your father.

That's why…

No, that wasn't it.

Master Bee and I used to be friends.

We were only five years old when my father died.

Bee, you did it!

The Jinchuriki that killed my father died

when the Eight Tails was extracted and sealed.

It was the previous Kage's Jinchuriki.

Right after that,

Master Bee was chosen to be the Eight Tails' Jinchuriki.

So why did you try to kill Bee?

There is no way to control the Eight Tails.

There would be many more victims.

That's what I thought.

My hatred towards the Eight Tails grew.

I was just a kid,

but I kept thinking about getting revenge.

Master Bee was always laughing.

I started hating him more and more

because it seemed like he didn't care.

My hatred of the Eight Tails

shifted to Master Bee, his Jinchuriki.

I thought if I killed Master Bee, the Eight Tails would also die.

I attacked Master Bee from behind.

But I failed and ran away scared.

My face was masked,
