Naruto Shippuden Chapter 496: Reunion with the kyubi

After Naruto defeated his darker self Naruto gets to face the biju in him: the kyubi. Chapter 496 gives us the meeting we are finally waiting to see.

In the entire episode where Naruto went to do background checking on how to deal with his Kyubi, the answer finally came to him as he learns the story of Killer Bee, the host of the Hachibi.

It was the story that helped him defeat his darker side who claims to be his true self. All he needs to do is to love him.

After being "cleansed" of his dark side, Naruto was led to the waterfalls with Yamato. To their surprise they saw ruins of a temple where they bijus are sealed before they can find a new host. It may be amazing yet Bee explained why there are statues without heads and how to open the room where Naruto is to meet the Kyubi again.

The temple is a place where a biju is sealed until such time that they have done enough background search on who is fit to become the biju's host. There’s a replica of a monster's head where Naruto needs to place his head inside the mouth. According to Bee his head will be bit off (the headless status are actually past host) if he is not really cleansed. If he’s worthy then the door will open.

It was a big laugh honestly. Yamato suddenly went crazy as he pulled Naruto who happened to be just joking. Naruto had then entered his head inside the replica and screamed but when he got out he laughed and told Yamato that all he found was a switch.

After entering the room, Bee instructed him to concentrate. All he needs to do once he met the Kyubi is to unseal it and connect with its chakra. if his will is weak the kyubi will take his and all will fail. If Naruto is able to do so then he will get the Kyubi's powers indeed. He must remember though when he did the background checking on the Kyubi, that his Biju is full of hatred.

Bee helped him although he is weaker since he can only enter Naruto's mind. The chapter ended with Naruto trying to deal with the released Kyubi.
