"Greetings" have been released! Naruto Shippuden's chapter 492 is out and about at manga networks.
The follow-up to 491 which shows Naruto's curiosity as to the "octopus" he'll meet in the prophecy. Things will finally be clear to Naruto as to why he was seen with such.
After thinking that the Octopus, whom he sees as Killer Bee, is going to lead him, he realizes that there is a more special purpose as to why he met him.
Background check in the previous chapters already introduces Killer Bee as a Hachibi. Being good at controlling it Naruto then had this assumption that he is in fact there to be taught on how to control the Kyubi.
He then approaches Killer Bee and asked him to teach how to control a Biju. However he was denied. Naruto then thought of giving out a cool rap (as Naruto learns his Enka Rap style) which the Hachibi liked very much. In return the Hachibi taught him to start a greeting with a bump fists then asked to give him a beat. Naruto did as he was told but saw the confusion of Killer Bee after he gave out his "beat". to get his approval he did his Harem No Jutsu--which gave no effect.
Naruto was denied again on being taught on how to control the Kyubi. He then went to a person who has given the information about Killer Bee. The last portion of the chapter shows Naruto being led to the Water Fall of Truth. It was here that he faced his darker side.
This chapter is what usually find people hooked up on Naruto. Other than the action, it's his comical antic and his strong determination that made his character one of a kind--a person who still smiles despite the difficulty.
I must say that this chapter actually is a lot better than the previous with the conversations and the lighter mood it presents.
