Summary
Naruto Uzumaki finally takes control of the portion of the Nine-Tails' chakra sealed inside him, wrapping up his punishing course of training. As Yamato, Killer B, and Naruto get ready to move out, Naruto picks up on Kisame Hoshigaki hiding within the living sword Samehada. The blade lunges into action, but Naruto reacts in the same breath and crushes the intruder with his right hand.
Key Events
At the same moment, Might Guy reaches the Falls of Truth and wades in to face his buried nature. The apparition lurking behind the cascade needles him over his ceaseless devotion to youthful spirit, which only stokes his temper. Guy demands that the figure step forward and meet him head on. Just before it can fully appear, Kisame comes bursting through the water, and Guy, taking the strange shark-like creature for his own inner self, throws himself into the fight.
