Menma and Dark Kurama (Nine-Tails)

In recent celebrations of the latest Naruto: Road to Ninja movie release in Japan. This fantastic fan art was drawn to show people who’ve not yet watched the movie a little more of who Menma is.

Menma is the son of Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze in the alternative universe of Konoha. Making him Naruto Uzumaki of that world, he is the Jinchuuriki of the Nine-Tails Beast, Kurama. He has spiky black hair similar to that of the Naruto we know. He also has a Sharingan on his right eye. He’s abilities are very similar to that of Naruto.

If you’d like to know more about the movie and it’s spoilers click here: Naruto: Road To Ninja [SPOILERS].

I’d like to thank amandas-sketches for drawing such a wonderful image of Menma and Kurama. You should definitely go and check out her work!

Killer Bee and Motoi – Naruto Shippuden 244

Today’s Naruto Shippuden 244 wasn’t too bad. It included a background of both Killer Bee and Motoi. Both being friends during childhood, and then that relationship broke due to the fact that Motoi’s father was killer by the Eight-Tails who exists inside Killer Bee.

I’m guessing the upcoming episodes are going to be a lot more factual than fights and such. Naruto has just started to learn how to control the Nine-Tails, Kurama. He discovers that he wont be able to defeat Dark Naruto on his owns so asks Motoi and Killer Bee to help but both refuse.

During this episode we learns that Motoi’s father, Third Raikage and Forth Raikage (A) all go to catch the Eight-Tails to insert it into Killer Bee. Unfortunately as Motoi’s father goes to  capture the Tailed Beast, he is stabbed by the horns of the Beast. At this moment, A uses a technique which enables him to cut off the horn completely. It is very similar to his Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop.

After the beast has been captured by the Third Raikage. They gave the beast to Killer Bee when he was a lot younger. This made the village despise him just like Naruto. Both Motoi and Killer Bee were very good friends until the death of his father. Motoi then grew a grudge towards the Eight-Tails which was inside Killer Bee, he believed if B died the Beast would also disappear.

During his attempt to stab Killer Bee, he fails as B slowly turns around which accidentally hits the tip of the Kunai and is pushed into the lake. In shock Motoi ran away scared as Killer Bee goes to give a Fist Bump. At this point Motoi stopped talking to Killer Bee.

At a point, Motoi realises that Killer Bee has got it worse than himself. Even when people throw eggs at B, he keeps on doing his own thing, this way he gets respect from others for doing his own thing.

When Motoi is captured by the deadly 10 Tailed Squid, Killer Bee appears and saves the Motoi. Surprised Motoi asks why Killer Bee saved him, B mentions that both of them had an amazing time training and messing around. Emotional Motoi gets into tears and both fist bump.

What an interesting episode that was. Both Killer Bee and Motoi have their friendships back and during next week’s Naruto Shippuden 245 episode, Naruto defeats Dark Naruto and goes behind the water fall to find that he has to break the seal and let the Nine-Tails out to  take his ying out to neutralize him. This opens many surprises which even shocked me. You’ll finally find out how it all went down during Naruto’s birth.

Naruto’s True Self – Naruto Shippuden 243

This being a late commentary of the latest Naruto Shippuden 234. This episode is the end to the amazingly boring fillers.

So, within this filler-free episode, Naruto finally arrives on the island when a few moments later a large squid appears from know where which attacks the ship. At this instant moment, Killer Bee’s Eight-Tailed Beast appears which punches the squid on its front which scares it off.

After they have reached the place where they will stay, Naruto confidently approaches Killer Bee and personally introduced himself. Naruto demands Killer Bee to help him achieve full control of his Tailed Beast because they are both Jinchuriki’s. Naruto raps a little “Old man, your shades are so hip. And your facial features are so thick, but you’re just so sick. Whee!”.

Killer Bee compliments Naruto on his rap, then Killer Bee respectively starts a greeting with Naruto, so when every time they see each other, they will fist bump each other as a sign of respect. This showing that Killer Bee has acknowledged Naruto as a Jinchuriki and will be willing to help him out.

Naruto angrily asks helps from Motoi who takes Naruto to the Waterfall of Truth. Naruto has to first sit on the middle, in front of the waterfall and close his eyes. When you sit before the waterfall and focus, you are able to enter your subconscious. And the waterfall becomes the mirror that reflects your true self. When Naruto sits down, He is able to see himself coming through the waterfall, this character looks exactly the same as Naruto, but the eyes are blood-red with black background to his eyes.

Dark Naruto asks Naruto a question about the autograph incident, fortunately Naruto has no answer to this question. Instead Naruto asks Dark Naruto who he is. Dark Naruto replies with “The real you that exists deep inside your heart. I’m the precious hatred inside you.”

Dark Naruto quickly runs and attacks Naruto with a smirk on his face. Both Naruto and Dark Naruto are equally matched and Dark Naruto keeps attacking with the same strength as Naruto. Their jutsu, fighting style, everything is identical therefore resulting in an endless battle.

So the episode ends here, I’m really sorry I talked about this episode a little late due to being a lot busy with other things. However since this is the start of a new chapter, I’m sure the excitement is just started. Hopefully Naruto within Naruto Shippuden 244 will be able to defeat Dark Naruto and complete step one.
