When Naruto's group reach Paradise Island, they are saved from a giant squid by the octopus from the Great Frog Sage's prophecy: Killer Bee in Eight-Tails form. Despite Naruto's initial reservations, he learns from the island's caretaker Motoi that Bee is a Jinchuriki who tamed his tailed beast and requests his mentorship. But Bee refuses, even more so when Naruto accidentally insulted him during a rap session after a fist bump. While Motoi takes offense to Naruto insulting Bee while coming to him for help, he takes him and Yamato to the Waterfall of Truth where Bee mediated as part of his training. Naruto learns that he must overcome the embodiment of his inner darkness before he can face the Nine-Tails.
