The clone possesses both impressive speed and strength, crossing the distance between himself and [[Sakura Haruno]] in an instant and then punching her a sizeable distance with a single blow, knocking her out. Likewise he was able to easily outstrip and overwhelm both Might Guy and Rock Lee in hand-to-hand combat, forcing master and student to counter by opening the [[Eight Gates]]. Even so the clone showed massive durability, being undamaged by their barrage of enhanced-attacks. However, the clone's durability wasn't enough to protect him from damage when the original was in [[Sage Mode]], using [[Frog Kata]] to strip away his chakra cloak. Like the original Version 2 state, the Naruto clone could create incredibly powerful [[Tailed Beast Shockwave|shock waves]] with simple roars. Unlike the original Version 2 state that Naruto entered, the clone is fully mobile even without the skeletal structure.

Upon emerging from the [[Ama no Hoko]] and taking in its power, the clone assumed a third form, which resembled a mixture of its full Kurama form and an Orochi-like creature, that was colossal in size and possessed greatly magnified abilities, such as massive physical strength and durability. It possessed several dragon-like heads, seven of which served as its tails, which could be used to bite down and restrain enemies as well as fire powerful [[Spear of Heaven Nine-Tails Beam|chakra beams]]. While battling the original Naruto, the clone was able to endure having its main head ripped off by its opponent and growing another tail in the process. With these new powers, it was able to go toe-to-toe against Naruto in both an incomplete [[Naruto Uzumaki's Jinchūriki Forms#Tailed Beast Mode|Tailed Beast Mode]] and a similar Version 2-based form.

During a battle with Kabuto Yakushi, Naruto unknowingly ingested a swarm of Kabuto's specially-developed snakes.
