This was an awesome chapter props to kishi it was worth the wait. I also think that this isn't a rip off from bleach with the ichigo/uchigo thing, because the worst enemy any character has is facing your inner demons, any good anime show this cool concept. I believe it's fitting as a first step if Naruto wants to control the kyubbi. Bee's story will be epic never imagined that the Raikage is a lot older. Now I don't have any good predictions about Bee's story, but I do have a very good reason for Gai's purpose if you catch my drift. Naruto said that he doesn't know how to beat his other self having every single ninja ability and strategy that the original has. If you remember back in the series, Gai's team had to face a copy of themselves during the Retrieve Gaara arc. Gai will give Naruto the hint to pass the first test and then Bee will accept his potential and help him with the training. but yeah a gai vs. kisame rematch I think will be definite, like to see their reunion. it would be awesome if he actually remembered his name and finish where he left off
