Naruto Manga & Spoiler: [Theory] Naruto & Killerbee

This is what believe will turn out to be a part of Uzumaki Naruto's story. I base this upon parts of mythology that I am sure of will be used Naruto and deduct the rest logically.

Not all that long ago we were “reintroduced” to the Cloud ninjas via the Sasuke Killerbee fight. When I say reintroduced I mean that we have heard of them before, a long time back.

Spoiler:

This is a split second of the history between Konoha and Kumogakure. The important information is that they were at war and obviously detest each other.

Spoiler:

This is also a hint for us. The Uchiha Clan was around at that time, yet Kumogakure was trying to get their hands on the Byakugan...? This indicates that the Byakugan has an edge over the Sharingan although the Sharingan is stonger against other opponents. It explains why Senju “invited” Hyuuga to Kooha in the first place and why Senju tolerated their ancient -main and branch house- rules. It also explains why Hyuuga and Uchiha didn't fight in the Chuunin exams. (Kishi didn't want to spoil this.) As Kakashi states, the Uchiha's Sharingan has its history within Hyuuga's Byakugan. This is manga-relevant and I believe will have quite some significance later.

Sorry for drifing off, I thought this migt be interesting.

Anyways, Konoha's and Kumogakure's alliance treaty doesn't seem very stable since the Raikage never had peace as a goal with his treaty. It was merely a feint to get his hands on the Byakugan.

Now, Naruto, the ultimate peace-maker will have to find a way to communicate with this village since that is his destiny. He makes friends with all the village's leaders which will eventually lead to peace. He's already done this with Gaara and he won't be stopping there. (See Amegakure and we all know Sasuke and Orochimaru's servants are next.)

I thought this from the moment we knew that Killerbee is still alive. We've seen Killerbee's relationship to his Bijuu. He hasn't only domesticated the Ushi-Oni, (That's Hachibi's mythological name) he has actually made him his companion and loyal friend. Hachibi seems like a pretty nice fellow.

Spoiler:

Here are some quotes on Japanese mythology that you have to know about to follow this theory.

Quote:

There are Kitsune who are often benevolent and watch out for humans, and there are Nogitsune, dark kitsune if you will, who tend to play tricks ranging from the merely inconvenient and embarrassing to the overtly malicious and hurtful.

And I would like to add another quote:

Quote:

Writes one site reader: “As a fighter in the martial arts, you must transform energy rather than suppress it. Suppressing energy is force against force. If you are the weaker force, you get destroyed -- one force completely dominates the other. Instead, the idea is to allow both to exist by transforming both into different states.

What I'm saying is that there are two different states in which Bijuus can be. There is the benevolent, kind sort of Bijuu although their original state seems to be vicious and hostile. In their original state the “hostile” Bijuu's try to forcefully take over their Jinchuriki while suppressing him/her.

However there is a state that must be achieved to change the Bijuu. I'm not sure under what circumstances the Bijuu recognizes that the Jinchuriki-Bijuu connection isn't the worst state it can be in but the Bijuu suddenly stops ignoring and undermining its master.

What I am projecting here is that Killerbee must have some time changed his Bijuu from a hostile being into a generous, obedient version of its former self. After that Killerbee was able to use the Bijuu as described in the Vajraquote. Instead of suppressing the beast Killerbee could simply work together.

Spoiler:

So, if Naruto is supposed to learn a similar way to handle Kyuubi as Killerbee learned to handle Hachibi then it only makes sense that they will share a training arc.

Naruto would be trained by Killerbee in the arts of controlling his Bijuu but I think that Naruto will learn more from him than just the “Arts of a Jinchuriki.” And we all know that Killerbee also has a lot more to offer than just his Bijuu. Killerbee is a master of swords. His sword style is probably the best in the entire manga and his swords are respectable chakra channeling swords as well.

Spoiler:

Killerbee had a pretty awesome ability in his Bijuu-cloak. He had his eighth sword.

Spoiler:

I think that Naruto will learn how to use a sword. This sword will be a chakra enhanceable sword. There is a special sword which has ties to mythology. The so named Kogitsune Maru, “Little Fox” is a sword that was forged by the swords smith Munechika and a spirit which was sent by the Kitsunegod Inari. The Kogitsune Maru is closely related to the Kusanagi sword in this Kabuki play which makes it an interesting choice for Kishi.

There is a lot of Manga-trivia which supports that Kishimoto is going to use this myth.

Spoiler for Support, not important:

1) Kishimoto used the Kusanagi, “The Grasscutter” in Naruto and Kogitsune Maru is directly related to Kusanagi.

Quote:

When trapped and surrounded in a field of burning reeds, the prince used his sword to cut at the grasses around him, thereby escaping the fire. That imperial sword had divine properties and enabled Takeru to defeat his enemies. It was thereaftert known by the name "Kusanagi", "The Grass-cutter", and became an Imperial treasure. The boy tells Munechika that, with the Inari's (The fox god's) help, he too will make a blade of supreme quality, and then he disappears.
source

2) The names of many Manga characters are used in this myth. Such as Ebisu, Yamato and Inari.

At the same time there is a lot of manga support to underline that Naruto might be using a sword which utilizes Kyuubi's chakra. Obviously it would be more than fine with the wind chakra. Wind chakra is the most “slicing” chakra. But far more interesting than the wind chakra is Kyuubi's chakra being used on chakra transferring metal.

We've seen what it does to Nagato when he tries to control Naruto. Naruto involuntarily infuses Kyuubichakra into the rod that Nagato shot into Naruto. This completely disrupts the Rinnengan's control.

Spoiler:

Kyuubi can actually work like the Rinnengan does by paralyzing the enemy which means that a Kyuubi-Chakra channeling sword would be “The Weapon” for Naruto to capture enemies without trying to kill them. This is an ability that Naruto hasn't yet aquired.

This is what I think Naruto will be learning from Killerbee. During this training arc Naruto and Killerbee will bond. They'll be a very humorous couple for the time they share. It's about time Kishi has some funny scenes again and Naruto will gain Kumogakure and its future Raikage (Killerbee will become Raikage in the end) as allies.

This is the theory that I developed. I hope that you gained some knowledge from this theory and that I guided you through my train of thought clearly.
