Hey to all Naruto fans! So here's my report on Naruto's chapters 497 and 498. I felt like I should do the report on both episodes in the same post after missing on doing it for a week (with 497 that is). Another reason is we'll get another "bummer" due to hanging up with the last episode.

For Naruto shippuden 497 and 498: Naruto has finally gotten his chance to take the kyubi's chakra, however he needs to not give in to the beast's will. Background check on previous chapters shows us that the kyubi is made of hate; the reason why Naruto need to get rid of his hatred. However as he was fighting the kyubi, his hatred came back (a proof that the kyubi is indeed strong). In the middle of the kyubi's taking over Naruto, a woman appeared.

Naruto was taken aback by the presence of the woman while fighting the woman. At first he had foolishly thought of her as the form of the nine tails until he was clued as to who she was. Naruto then embraced his mother tightly which Kushina returned the gestured.

To be able to catch up, Kushina immediately restrained the fox that seemed to be struck by her chakra. Background search on her chakra had already made the fox taken aback. It was said that hers was very special that she was even kidnapped due to it. Chapter 498 shows her telling the story to Naruto on how she and Minato fell in love. Minanto had saved her then and complimented on her hair.

While telling the story, Naruto also complimented on her hair being the second person to say so (the first was Minato of course). She then told his son she loved him while Killer Bee and Yamato were amazed at how the transformation of Naruto to the nine tailed fox stopped all of a sudden.

It's getting better and better as things are finally more revealed: Kushina's chakra was also used to seal the nine tails due to its power. Chapter 499 is definitely something to look forward to.

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.
