Author's Notes:
Hey everyone, just wanted to clear some things up before starting this chapter. The that I created is another form of commination for us. As I have said before, sometimes I do not know some of you message me until I sit down to write another chapter. I don't know why Fanfiction doesn't let me see them or sometimes they will send the messages to my email but not to my pm box on the site. I feel bad for not being able to respond to some of you and I don't want you guys to think I'm ignoring you. I also thought that this would be a great way for you guys to support me and where you guys can find more inside information about ALL of my stories. I have even linked my YouTube channel to it. Every now and again, I will post videos of my favorite couple with some of my favorite music, so feel free to check it out. There is no obligation to do this, so don't feel pressured. I just want you guys to get the best experience from me that you can. I'm sorry if this caused any confusion. But, if there are any more questions, please feel free to message me.

Chapter 41: Killer B and the Falls of Truth
Normal P.O.V.
"We're here!" Jiraiya announces.
Kakashi, Naruto, and Captain Yamato walk towards the bow of the ship. Through the fog, a giant island with large spikes appears.
"This is Turtle Island?" Naruto asks.
"Yep. This is the famous Genbu I told you about. Here is where your training will take place," Jiraiya answers.
After a little while, they land on the island and dock the boat. They exit onto Genbu's shell.
"Is there supposed to be this much… fog?" Naruto questions as he tries to look through the fog.
"Of course, there is, fool," a voice calls out through the fog. In front of the group emerges a large black, octopus male with his arms crossing over his chest. "We're in the Land of Lightning, fool! Of course, there's going to be fog, son,"
"Killer B, it's good to see you again," Jiraiya calls out as he walks towards the identified male.
"Well, if it isn't the famous Jiraiya-Sannin. How the hell you are doing, son?"
"I'm fine, B. I came for some training,"
B laughs, "Training? Shit, haven't you learned enough yet? Or are you here to do more "research" again?"
"No, no. This time it's for someone else," Jiraiya moves aside to reveal the rest of his group.
Killer B moves away from Jiraiya to look at the others, "Just who the hell are these guys?"
"These are my entourage. This is Kakashi Hatake, Yamato, and Naruto,"
"You mean I'm standing before the famous Copycat Ninja, and the Nine-Tails' vessel? Well, I'll be damned,"
"A pleasure," Kakashi smiles.
"Nice to meet you. That name's Naruto Uzumaki," the blond fox says as he thrusts his hand out.
B looks at the tanned hand but does not reach for it. After a while, Naruto retracts his hand awkwardly.
Naruto favors scratching the back of his head and nervously chucking, "So, you're the Eight-Tails'?"
"That I am. I am the famous Killer B! I spend my time rappin' while others be slackin', ya heard me?"
"I do?" Naruto says confused.
"B, we came here because Naruto wants to learn how to merge with the Nine-Tails. And, since you've already done so, I figured you could help," Jiraiya announces.
"You've already merged with the Eight-Tails?" Naruto asks before looking down. Eight octopus tentacles are coming out of Killer B's sides. "That's amazing!"
"Of course, I did! The Eight-Tails and I have an understanding. We're a team and ziggin' where them fools be zaggin', son!"
"Can you help me?"
"Why do you want my help, little fox boi?"
"I need to become stronger for the upcoming war. To do that, I need to merge with Kurama. Without him, I won't be much help. Having full access to his power will give me the needed power to save everyone," Naruto explains.
B listens to his fellow Jinchūriki, with shielded eyes, he observes Naruto's aura. To B, Naruto may be a mature and powerful, young man. But there was something inside of him that just didn't sit right with the older male.
"Naw, I'm good, son," B says before turning around.
"What?! Why not?!" Naruto shouts.
"You got too much evil within your soul. That's something only you can fix. Besides, I'm on vacation and I ain't doing shit,"
"But, Killer B, we came all the way here," Kakashi pleads.
"Then you wasted your time," is all B says before disappearing.
"Damn, I was hoping it wouldn't be this difficult. But, then again, I forgot who I was dealing with," Jiraiya sighs. "Alright gang, let's get settled in,"
"But, what about my training?"
"In due time, Naruto. We'll get there in due time,"
…
…
…
The team of four heads to their hotel and gets settled in. While eating dinner, Naruto sits in a corner and sulks. Seeing this, Kakashi sits to the right of him.
"Alright, what's the matter?"
"I just don't get it, sensei. How could he not want to train me? And the worst part is he talked about the evil inside of me? I don't even know what that means," Naruto sighs.
"If you don't think there's no evil inside of you, then you're wrong," This catches Naruto's attention. The blond fox looks at his silver wolf sensei, "Naruto, everyone has demons inside of them and everyone has to fight them. Yours may not be as evil as most to where it shows. Or you could have been suppressing it all along,"
"That should mean that mines should be easy to defeat, then. Right?"
"Usually, those are the hardest demons to defeat. When someone's anger has been suppressed as long as yours, you might have one hell of a fight on your hands,"
"Damn… do you think there's any way I can convenience him to train me?" Naruto asks.
"I don't know. It seems his mind is pretty made up,"
"Then I'll just impress him enough to get him to help me then!"
Kakashi chuckles at this, "You've always worked your magic on people. Maybe you can do the same with him,"
"I know I can!" Naruto says in determination.
Off in the distance, Motoi, the man who escorted them to their hotel, listens in on their conversation, "Simple fool. He'll just waste his time,"
…
…
…
Several days pass of Naruto trying to impress Killer B with each attempt ending with an annoyed B and an angry Naruto. After this final attempt, Killer B decides he's had enough and tells Naruto so.
"You little shit! When are you gonna learn to just leave me be? I ain't gonna train ya and that's final!"
"But why?! I just want to know why?!" Naruto shouts back.
"I already told ya! I'm on vacation!"
"Bullshit! Just because you're on vacation, you're not gonna help me with the merging ritual?!"
"I ain't obligated to do shit! I'm on vacation!" B says as he leans back into his makeshift hammock. "And besides, if you don't deal with your evil side, then there's no hope for you,"
"What do you mean? I don't understand,"
"You have some serious evil inside of your soul. I don't know what's got your soul so dark, but you need to figure your shit out,"
"Fuck this!" Naruto says as he throws his hands up and leaves.
He enters his hotel room and slams the door shut before jumping onto his bed in frustration.
"What the fuck is his problem?!"
Naruto continues to brood in his room until someone knocks on his door. The angered blond jumps off his bed and pulls the door open hard, "What?!"
"I see he rejected you again," Motoi chuckles on the other side.
"What do you want?" Naruto glares.
"I just came to tell you to leave Master B alone. He does not want to train you. You need to figure something else out or go home,"
"Fuck you, asshole," Naruto goes to close the door, but Motoi catches it and enters the room behind Naruto.
"Don't take your anger out on me,"
"I'm not. I just don't need you hounding me about my failures,"
"Your evil side is showing," Motoi announces as he leans against the wall with his arms crossing.
"Am not. I'm just frustrated. I'm not evil," The blond fox runs his fingers through his hair with an angry sigh, "I don't get why he's so stubborn. Doesn't he realize that I just need tips about this ritual? Why does he have to make this so difficult?"
"He's not obligated to do anything,"
"So, he told me," Naruto glares before falling backwards. "What am I goin to do?"
"You could just go through the ritual yourself and stop looking for handouts,"
"Gee, thanks for the unneeded sarcasm. Why don't you and Killer B take a ship back to asshole island. You two must be the best of friends,"
"You know, you're the one acting like an asshole. If you want to know why Master B won't train you, I'll take you to the Falls of Truth,"
This catches Naruto's attention. With interest, Naruto sits up to face Motoi, "What are the "Falls of Truth"?"
"They're the falls where Master B learned to master the Eight-Tails. Master B has good reasons for why he doesn't want to train you. If you really want to know why, then I'll take you there,"
"Lead the way then,"
…
…
…
Motoi leads Naruto to the Falls of Truth, "We're here,"
"Wow, they're beautiful,"
"This is the first part of the ritual. The Falls are where you will conquer your evilness and learn what to do to successfully complete your ritual. All you have to do is sit on that platform under the Falls. Once there, you will be teleported into your mind where your answers lie,"
"That's it? I just have to sit on the platform, enter my mind, and find my answers?" Naruto asks with caution. Motoi nods. "Alright, if that's all I have to do, then I'll do it,"
Naruto stripes down to his underwear before entering the slightly chilled water. Taking a deep breathe, the blond continues forward until her reaches the platform. He sits in a comfortable position before closing his eyes and connecting his hands in a circle.
Motoi watches emotionless before walking back towards the hotel, "Good luck, kid. You're going to need it,"
