Did it for the lulz

Killer Bee and Naruto troll Yamato into believe there is a special lion statue that judges you and bites your head off if there is darkness in your soul.  However, it’s actually just a statue with a switch inside, and with that it’s time for the real trial.  Killer Bee gives a pretty thorough walkthrough, telling Naruto how to open the belly-seal with the key and what to do when it’s time for chakra tug-of-war.

Furries? Tentacles?! YIFFING?!?!?!

The Kyuubi is pretty surprised that emo Hollow-Naruto isn’t around anymore, but he attacks Naruto anyway as soon as the seal is opened.  From there, Killer Bee helps to restrain the Kyuubi, but since it’s inside Naruto, Killer Bee is not at full strength.  Now it’s up to Naruto as both the Kyuubi and Naruto attempt to pull the other’s chakra into himself.

Reaction:

The joke on Yamato was pretty awesome, and I have new-found respect for Killer Bee for doing this (presumably) without help from another jinchuriki.  Of course the oxtopus probably was not as strong as the Kyuubi and I am sure Killer Bee was not the first to come up with this solution (seeing as the whole temple is a fail-safe to trap the tailed beast if the jinchuriki loses), but I’ll give credit where credit is due. Too bad I have to deduct points for bringing Kisame into the temple.

Shouldn’t that deep-throated frog (Gerotora) help out too?  Maybe he will swing the tug-of-war at the last minute.  I can’t wait to see Naruto win and get a cute little fox that sits obediently in his crate until Naruto comes by to scratch it behind the ears.  Woulda been hilarious if Naruto had come by the cage to find that the Kyuubi had long since tunneled out of jail with a spoon or something, though.  Where would the Kyuubi have tunneled out to?  Don’t ask questions you don’t want the answers to…

The whole chakra pulling thing looks majorly awkward…I hope it doesn’t last too long.
I expect my shounen to be more brainlessly violent, lol. Though I do have to add that I like the architecture of the temple. Really sets the atmosphere :) . Also, the first attack done by the Nine tails after more than a dozen years of imprisonment was majorly dissapointing. You’d think he had lots of time to reflect on the first thing he’ll do when he gets out of the joint… What did he do? A silly little bitchslap…whilst he could have chosen to unleash a crazy awesome super attack or do something more realistic like taking a time out to grab a burger.
On a similar note, for the first time ever a One Piece arc has left me Siberian cold. I couldn’t care less about these freakin’ flashbacks, gah.

Yeah, and I wonder if the chakra pull is a one-time thing or if Naruto always has to do it. Maybe you get the hang of it after a while, but what if your best buddy dates your ex-girlfriend or someone takes the last piece of toilet paper without putting in a new roll? Does this give the Kyuubi another chance at pulling in your chakra?

No one ever said the Kyuubi was very creative.

Yeah, I wonder how Killer Bee pulled off the joke when there’s no one else to set it up for him. The fake backstory was pretty important.

It would have been awesome if Killer Bee was like, “Four Element? What a piece of crap! N00B!” Since Killer Bee is the brother of the Raikage, maybe they had some grunts hanging with them.

I totally forgot about Kisame until you mentioned him… I’m actually a bit nervous about whether that will come into play.

Yeah, and with everyone hiding inside someone/something else, you just can’t tell what will happen. I get the feeling Kisame will continue to hide, since his job is to beat Killer Bee when no one is around. The other possibility is that Naruto will barely win, and then Kisame will pop out and own all of the exhausted good guys… and punch Motoi on his way out.

Such a well-planned out prank. I wish I could do that with my friends…

The statues reminded me of Selty.
