||
| − | [[File:Minato Tailed Beast Mode.PNG|thumb|left|Minato's form while using the Nine-Tails' Yin chakra.]] |
||
| − | While this mode is active, Naruto gains a chakra shroud with six [[wikipedia:magatama|magatama]] around his neck and two distinctive pieces of hair-like horns resembling the [[Sage of the Six Paths]]' silhouette along with a swirl design that resembles the [[Uzumaki clan]]'s symbol. Naruto's chakra shroud is also covered by various other black lines and spiral patterns, which expand further along his body in certain situations.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 520, page 1</ref> At times, Naruto's shroud gains the additional seals that appear on his hands while in Tailed Beast Mode.<ref name="ch628">''Naruto'' chapter 628</ref> The colour of his eyes changes from blue to orange when he is in this form and while the demon fox shroud is red and releases chakra as acidic bubbles, this form's shroud is yellow and releases chakra as flickering flames.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 499, pages 12-15</ref><ref name="c505">''Naruto'' chapter 505</ref> While in this form Naruto's chakra signature and smell are different as noted by [[Neji]] and [[Kiba]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 559, page 4</ref> |
||
| + | Like all jinchūriki transformations, the user's physical abilities are enhanced while the mode is active, with greater enhancements coming from using more of the Nine-Tails' chakra. While using just the basic Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, [[Naruto Uzumaki]] is strong enough to defeat members of the [[White Zetsu Army]] with a single kick<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 545, page 11</ref> and fast enough to dodge the [[Fourth Raikage]] using his [[Lightning Release: Body Flicker Technique]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 544, page 11-12</ref> The chakra that surrounds the user also helps in protecting them from damage, allowing them to take [[lava]] and [[boil]]-based attacks and suffer only minor injuries.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 565, pages 11-13</ref> Naruto is even able to survive [[Tenpenchii]] because of his protective cloak, though the cloak itself is lost in the process.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 629, page 4</ref> The user's scent and chakra signature also change.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 559, page 4</ref> |
||
| − | When used by Minato, this mode holds resemblance to something in between both of Naruto's two shrouds; while predominately looking like Naruto's Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, Minato's shroud has additional seals on his hands and feet as well an additional magatama design that appears on his collar, causing it to resemble Naruto's shroud in Tailed Beast Mode. When Minato first entered this mode, the bangs at the sides of his face went upwards as well.<ref name="ch631">''Naruto'' chapter 631</ref> |
||
| + | From the chakra that surrounds them, users are able to produce [[chakra arms]] as a way to interact with their surroundings or improve their manoeuvrability. Naruto primarily uses the arms to help him form the [[Rasengan]] and its variants, having the arms assist with the [[shape]] or [[nature transformation]] that he usually relies on [[shadow clone]]s for.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 551, pages 13-15</ref> |
||
| − | ==Attributes== |
||
| − | As with all jinchūriki transformations, the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode gives the user increased strength, speed, and defences. Nine-Tails Chakra Mode's increases are noticeably superior: Naruto becomes strong enough to push a fully formed [[Tailed Beast Ball]] through a [[Thirty-Six Layer Self-Repairing Barrier|multiple layered barrier]] with just one arm,<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 536, pages 8-11</ref> neutralise [[White Zetsu]] with a single kick despite their durability,<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 545, page 11</ref> and, in collaboration with B in his [[Tailed Beast Mode|full Eight-Tails form]], he could also knock down Tobi's [[Demonic Statue of the Outer Path]] with an uppercut.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 592, page 7</ref> Naruto's speed is so great in this form that [[Killer B]] even had trouble determining if he had used the [[Body Flicker Technique]] when attacking [[Kisame]],<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 505, page 12</ref> he could even surpass the speed of a [[Lightning Release Armour|fully charged]] [[A]],<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 544, page 11-12</ref> as well as blitz the extremely fast Third Raikage before the shinobi had any chance to react.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 554, page 4</ref> Naruto's durability is also very high in this form, so high in fact, that he was able to endure [[Lava Release Armour|extreme heat]] with only minor burns.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 565, pages 11-12</ref> He could even withstand the [[Tenpenchii]] technique in this form and while the shroud was completely destroyed after this, he only suffered minor physical wounds.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 629, page 4</ref> |
||
| + | == Forms == |
||
| − | Naruto is able to use [[chakra arms]] while in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode. Like other jinchūriki he can use the arms to improve his dexterity and manoeuvrability, granting him increased means of interacting with his environment and his opponents. More unique to Naruto, he uses the arms as substitutes for [[shadow clone]]s in his creation of various [[Rasengan]]-variants. Instead of needing a shadow clone to help him with [[shape transformation]], he can do both with just one hand, either his own or the hands of his chakra arms.<ref name="c567">''Naruto'' chapter 567</ref> He still needs more than one hand for the [[nature transformation]] of the [[Rasenshuriken]], but this also is accomplished without shadow clones. Once the Rasengan-variants are formed, Naruto can then use the chakra arms to deliver them across long distances or, in the case of Rasenshuriken, guide them to their target.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 554, page 1</ref> Initially, Naruto tried to create a technique related to the Tailed Beast Ball: the [[Tailed Beast Rasengan]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 520, pages 1-5</ref> However, he later develops a more effective version of this technique: the [[Super Mini-Tailed Beast Ball]], which is basically a miniature Tailed Beast Ball that he's able to control with the help of a shadow clone.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 595, pages 4-6</ref> |

||
| + | While using Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, users' eyes become orange but their pupils remain the same. Like previous jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails, Naruto is able to sense negative emotions while he's in this form,<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 534, pages 13-14</ref> seemingly regardless of distance<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 545, pages 5-6</ref> or obstructions.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 529, page 1</ref> He also releases a powerful life force while the mode is active, causing [[wood]] constructs to quickly mature into full-grown trees when he's nearby<ref name="Ch505"/> and White Zetsus to become trees when he comes in contact with them.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 545, page 14</ref> |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | Like his predecessor, [[Mito Uzumaki]], Naruto gains Kurama's ability to [[Negative Emotions Sensing|sense negative emotions]], something that not even the best [[sensor]]-type ninja can do.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 534, pages 13-14</ref> In addition, he is capable of sensing Kurama's chakra signature, even while he was inside a [[Tailed Beast Temple|chakra isolation chamber]] within the [[Falls of Truth]];<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 529, page 1</ref> as well as the ability to sense other chakra signatures from great distances.<ref name="ch631"/> Due to having Kurama's [[Yang]] chakra in this form, [[Wood Release]] techniques will react to the chakra's life-giving properties and mature into full-grown trees within a matter of seconds, either by contact or close range.<ref name="c505"/><ref>''Naruto'' chapter 545, page 14</ref> |
||
| + | Despite the passive abilities and enhancements he gains, Naruto's use of the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode is initially marked by limitations due to the Nine-Tails refusing to cooperate with him. This prevents him from using [[Tailed Beast Ball]]s while in this form,<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 520, pages 1-5</ref> though he is eventually able to create [[Super Mini-Tailed Beast Ball|miniature versions]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 595, pages 4-6</ref> Because Naruto "shelves" his own chakra in this form and instead draws on the Nine-Tails', his early uses of it come with a risk that the Nine-Tails will take that shelved chakra, resulting in Naruto's death. Naruto must, therefore, be careful of how long he uses the form for and how many shadow clones he creates, as doing too many only increases the risk.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 519, pages 10-11</ref> The Nine-Tails eventually stops trying to take Naruto's chakra,<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 567, page 18</ref> and soon after that, starts cooperating, removing these limitations.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 570, page 10-15</ref> |

||
| − | Using Nine-Tails Chakra Mode was initially a risk as Naruto had to temporarily "shelve" his own chakra in order to use Kurama's, which allowed the fox to automatically drain Naruto's. If Kurama managed to take all of Naruto's chakra, Naruto would die. Shadow clones provided an additional risk, as Kurama would absorb every portion of Naruto's chakra even faster for each clone he made. Moreover, Naruto also had to be careful about the amount of time he spent in this mode as there was a limit to how much chakra Naruto managed to pull away from Kurama.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 519, pages 10-11</ref> Despite these risks, once involving himself in the [[Fourth Shinobi World War]], Naruto deployed several shadow clones while he was in this mode and even managed to remain in the form for an entire night. The [[Eight-Tails]] says this is because at some point Kurama had purposely stopped taking Naruto's chakra.<ref name="c567"/> After Naruto forms a friendship with Kurama these handicaps no longer apply. |

| + | Once Naruto learns the Nine-Tails' name - Kurama - their hearts synchronise and Naruto becomes able to enter what is referred to as {{translation|'''Kurama Mode'''|九喇嘛モード|Kurama Mōdo}}.<ref name="d4">Fourth Databook, page 250</ref> His pupils becomes slitted, the whisker-like markings on his face become thicker to resemble the [[Wikipedia:Bagua|☰ trigram]], and the chakra shroud's shape alters to resemble a full-length haori, similar to the one Minato usually wears.<ref name="ch571" /> For all intents and purposes, Kurama Mode is a completed version of Nine-Tails Chakra Mode: [[Tailed Beast Mode]] without the full transformation, meaning that Naruto is able to use Tailed Beast Balls.<ref name="d4"/> He can partially manifest parts of Kurama's body if needed, such as its head<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 598, pages 1-2, 6</ref> and tails.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 600, pages 14-16</ref> In ''[[The Last: Naruto the Movie]]'', Naruto is shown isolating the Kurama Mode transformation to one hand. |
||
| + | |||
| ⚫ | Naruto is able to [[Chakra Transfer Technique|transfer]] his and Kurama's chakra to others, granting them tailless [[version 1]]-like chakra shrouds that greatly enhance their techniques: [[Hinata Hyūga]], for example, is able to deflect one of the [[Ten-Tails]]' tails with a single [[Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 616, pages 10-11</ref> [[Kakashi Hatake]] states that the power and volume of the transferred chakra is even greater than when Kurama earlier directly handed chakra to him, which had improved his [[Kamui]] at least three-fold.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 617, pages 3-4</ref> Despite Kurama's contribution, [[C]] claims the transferred chakra more closely resembles Naruto's own.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 616, page 6</ref> |

| − | All jinchūriki can enter [[Tailed Beast Mode]], which grants them all the strength and abilities of their corresponding tailed beast. However, where other jinchūriki become full-scale replicas of their tailed beast, Naruto and Minato enter a form very visually similar to the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode. For Naruto, The shroud parts down the middle and opens up into a full-length cloak (haori), revealing a black undergarment with three [[wikipedia:magatama|magatama]] on each side of his high collar. His seal's numerous swirl-patterns, which were located all over his body, open out into complete, dark circles. His eyes become red and slitted and his whisker-markings become much thicker, as they do in his early transformations. |
||
| + | Naruto and Minato are able to create full-size replicas of Kurama. Whereas other jinchūriki's Tailed Beast Modes cause them to fully transform into their respective [[tailed beast]], Naruto and Minato's are instead an alteration of their earlier chakra cloaks changed to resemble Kurama: Naruto's is the same translucent golden colour as his earlier cloak, while Minato's is a much darker orange colour with both having similar black lines all across its body.<ref name="ch571">''Naruto'' chapter 571</ref> Minato is able to enter this form directly from Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, while Naruto must initially first enter Kurama Mode.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 645, pages 6-9</ref> Naruto is initially limited to only using this form for five minutes because he hasn't perfected his bond with Kurama,<ref name="ch571"/> but with practice they extend this to eight minutes,<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 611, page 6</ref> and then again to some unspecified limit. |
||
| + | While Tailed Beast Mode is active, Naruto and Minato hover within the construct's head. They can in fact allow others to enter the construct as well, extending its protection to them and allowing Kurama to heal their wounds and replenish their chakra.<ref name="ch610">''Naruto'' chapter 610, page 8</ref> Because it isn't a proper transformation, Naruto and Minato can still use their other [[jutsu]] from within this form, such as the [[Rasengan]] and [[Shadow Clone Technique]],<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 645, page 7</ref> and can even use the construct's tails as chakra arms.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 572, page 3</ref> Kurama is able to speak through this replica and can be granted control of it;<ref name="ch610"/> in ''The Last: Naruto the Movie'', Naruto is shown manifesting the construct separately from himself, with Kurama in control. |

| − | Naruto and Minato are able to become a full-scale replica of Kurama. However in both their cases, their Tailed Beast Modes are more energy-based, rather than being a full flesh manifestation. The Nine-Tails Chakra Mode enlarges into a tailed beast-cloak that recreates Kurama's overall form, while retaining the exact same seals that were previously present on Naruto and Minato's bodies. Both jinchūriki's eyes become slitted when entering this form.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 645, page 1</ref><ref>''Naruto'' chapter 645, page 6</ref> As opposed to the normal nature of the chakra, it no longer burns those who touch it. It is also translucent, as Naruto and his father can be seen inside the replica's head for the duration of the transformation.<ref name="ch571">''Naruto'' chapter 571</ref><ref name="ch645">''Naruto'' chapter 645, page 7</ref> Appearance aside, both jinchiriki gain the usual advantages of Tailed Beast Mode, notably the ability to create [[Tailed Beast Shockwave|powerful shock-waves]] and perform [[Tailed Beast Ball]]s. As only shown with Naruto, he can even use the tails of this form as arms to interact with other large targets. As only shown with Minato, he can use the Tailed Beast Mode mantle as a medium for the Rasengan.<ref name="ch645">''Naruto'' chapter 645, page 7</ref> Uniquely to Naruto, he can still perform his usual techniques while in this form, such as making shadow clones. |

Naruto notes he can absorb [[natural energy]] more quickly than usual while in Kurama Mode.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 645, pages 6-7</ref> After meeting [[Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki]] during the [[Fourth Shinobi World War]], these abilities are further augmented by the powers of the [[Six Paths Sage Mode]] and the [[Six Paths Senjutsu]]. |

The Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and its related forms coat the user's body in yellow chakra, which emanates from them reminiscent of flickering flames;[4][5] in the anime, Minato Namikaze's is also surrounded by a slight dark aura.[6] The form's design differs between users and can even change over time,[1] but certain features are consistent across all forms: two horns on their head, six magatama markings around their neck, some sort of prominent circular/swirl design over their stomach, and various other lines extending along their body.
Like all jinchūriki transformations, the user's physical abilities are enhanced while the mode is active, with greater enhancements coming from using more of the Nine-Tails' chakra. While using just the basic Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, Naruto Uzumaki is strong enough to defeat members of the White Zetsu Army with a single kick[7] and fast enough to dodge the Fourth Raikage using his Lightning Release: Body Flicker Technique.[8] The chakra that surrounds the user also helps in protecting them from damage, allowing them to take lava and boil-based attacks and suffer only minor injuries.[9] Naruto is even able to survive Tenpenchii because of his protective cloak, though the cloak itself is lost in the process.[10] The user's scent and chakra signature also change.[11]
From the chakra that surrounds them, users are able to produce chakra arms as a way to interact with their surroundings or improve their manoeuvrability. Naruto primarily uses the arms to help him form the Rasengan and its variants, having the arms assist with the shape or nature transformation that he usually relies on shadow clones for.[12]
Forms
While using Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, users' eyes become orange but their pupils remain the same. Like previous jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails, Naruto is able to sense negative emotions while he's in this form,[13] seemingly regardless of distance[14] or obstructions.[15] He also releases a powerful life force while the mode is active, causing wood constructs to quickly mature into full-grown trees when he's nearby[5] and White Zetsus to become trees when he comes in contact with them.[16]
The initial risk of Naruto using Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.
Despite the passive abilities and enhancements he gains, Naruto's use of the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode is initially marked by limitations due to the Nine-Tails refusing to cooperate with him. This prevents him from using Tailed Beast Balls while in this form,[17] though he is eventually able to create miniature versions.[18] Because Naruto "shelves" his own chakra in this form and instead draws on the Nine-Tails', his early uses of it come with a risk that the Nine-Tails will take that shelved chakra, resulting in Naruto's death. Naruto must, therefore, be careful of how long he uses the form for and how many shadow clones he creates, as doing too many only increases the risk.[19] The Nine-Tails eventually stops trying to take Naruto's chakra,[20] and soon after that, starts cooperating, removing these limitations.[21]
Kurama Mode
Once Naruto learns the Nine-Tails' name - Kurama - their hearts synchronise and Naruto becomes able to enter what is referred to as Kurama Mode (九喇嘛モード, Kurama Mōdo).[22] His pupils becomes slitted, the whisker-like markings on his face become thicker to resemble the ☰ trigram, and the chakra shroud's shape alters to resemble a full-length haori, similar to the one Minato usually wears.[23] For all intents and purposes, Kurama Mode is a completed version of Nine-Tails Chakra Mode: Tailed Beast Mode without the full transformation, meaning that Naruto is able to use Tailed Beast Balls.[22] He can partially manifest parts of Kurama's body if needed, such as its head[24] and tails.[25] In The Last: Naruto the Movie, Naruto is shown isolating the Kurama Mode transformation to one hand.
Naruto is able to transfer his and Kurama's chakra to others, granting them tailless version 1-like chakra shrouds that greatly enhance their techniques: Hinata Hyūga, for example, is able to deflect one of the Ten-Tails' tails with a single Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm.[26] Kakashi Hatake states that the power and volume of the transferred chakra is even greater than when Kurama earlier directly handed chakra to him, which had improved his Kamui at least three-fold.[27] Despite Kurama's contribution, C claims the transferred chakra more closely resembles Naruto's own.[28]
Tailed Beast Mode
Main article: Tailed Beast Mode

Naruto and Minato are able to create full-size replicas of Kurama. Whereas other jinchūriki's Tailed Beast Modes cause them to fully transform into their respective tailed beast, Naruto and Minato's are instead an alteration of their earlier chakra cloaks changed to resemble Kurama: Naruto's is the same translucent golden colour as his earlier cloak, while Minato's is a much darker orange colour with both having similar black lines all across its body.[23] Minato is able to enter this form directly from Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, while Naruto must initially first enter Kurama Mode.[29] Naruto is initially limited to only using this form for five minutes because he hasn't perfected his bond with Kurama,[23] but with practice they extend this to eight minutes,[30] and then again to some unspecified limit.
While Tailed Beast Mode is active, Naruto and Minato hover within the construct's head. They can in fact allow others to enter the construct as well, extending its protection to them and allowing Kurama to heal their wounds and replenish their chakra.[31] Because it isn't a proper transformation, Naruto and Minato can still use their other jutsu from within this form, such as the Rasengan and Shadow Clone Technique,[32] and can even use the construct's tails as chakra arms.[33] Kurama is able to speak through this replica and can be granted control of it;[31] in The Last: Naruto the Movie, Naruto is shown manifesting the construct separately from himself, with Kurama in control.
Senjutsu Influence
Naruto's combination of Kurama Mode and Sage Mode.
Naruto can combine his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and its various forms with Sage Mode to further enhance his abilities with the power of senjutsu.[34] His pupils become a combination of the two forms: the vertical fox-slits with the horizontal toad-slits. Naruto notes he can absorb natural energy more quickly than usual while in Kurama Mode.[35] After meeting Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki during the Fourth Shinobi World War, these abilities are further augmented by the powers of the Six Paths Sage Mode and the Six Paths Senjutsu.
Combination with Six Paths Sage Mode
Main article: Six Paths Sage Mode
After receiving Hagoromo's power, Naruto gains the ability to use the Six Paths Sage Mode, and the initial appearance of his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode while simultaneously using it changes: his body is coated in yellow chakra; a sort of circular design is featured prominently over his stomach; the whisker-like markings on his face become thicker to resemble the ☰ trigram; six magatama markings are present on or around his collar; various other dark designs appear along his body, sometimes densely enough to give the appearance that he's wearing a body suit beneath the yellow coat. A pattern consisting of a Rinnegan-like marking above nine magatama also appears on his back.[36] His eyes become yellow and his skin does not glow along with the rest of his outfit when activated.[37] However, these same features are absent in later uses: the back pattern being gone, and his chakra mode once again consisting of orange eyes and yellow glowing skin like his chakra modes before he met Hagoromo.[38][39] The one consistent hallmark of Six Paths Sage Mode are Naruto's eyes: while his pupils maintain the cross of vertical fox-slits with horizontal toad-slats, there is no pigmentation around his eyes that would otherwise signify the standard Sage Mode.[40] When Naruto uses the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode in conjunction with Six Paths Sage Mode, his abilities are pushed even further, demonstrated by him becoming fast enough to catch Kaguya Ōtsutsuki off guard[41] and durable enough to take a Chidori unharmed.[42]
Asura Kurama Mode
Naruto's Asura Kurama Mode.
After obtaining the Six Paths Senjutsu, Naruto retains the ability to enter Tailed Beast Mode,[42] which, in terms of size and strength, is comparable to Sasuke Uchiha's Complete Body — Susanoo.[43] Through the use of shadow clones, Naruto has shown the ability to combine three Kurama avatars into a single construct with three faces and six arms,[44] which greatly resembles his ancestor Asura Ōtsutsuki's own chakra avatar.[45] This form is known as "Asura Kurama Mode" (アシュラクラマモード, Ashura Kurama Mōdo).[46] This mode allowed Naruto to use the Six Paths: Ultra-Big Ball Rasenshuriken, which was able to match Sasuke's strongest attack and cause the Valley of the End and the surrounding area to be devastated.[47]
Baryon Mode

Naruto's Baryon Mode.
When Naruto and Kurama both use their chakra and form the final form of the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, Naruto retains most of his human form, but some of Kurama's features mesh with Naruto's. This mode allows Naruto to have high speed, dodging Isshiki's high speed rods, something Sasuke has trouble with even with his Sharingan. However, because it consumes a lot of the users' chakra, Naruto cannot maintain this form for as long.
Trivia
Naruto's face in the original colourised chapters.
- Prior to Naruto entering Kurama Mode for the first time, the markings on Naruto's chakra shroud would extend further along his arms and legs whenever he attempted to form the Tailed Beast Rasengan, causing his cloak to briefly progress toward its complete form.[48][49][50]
- Kurama's golden chakra and approximate age of a millennia evoke the "Sky Fox" (天狐, tenko), kitsune who gain golden fur upon growing their ninth tail and reaching 1,000 years of age. They become equivalent to kami and ascend to the heavens.
- In the anime's Power arc, Naruto temporarily assumes an incomplete version of the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode after breaking free from Kurama's influence. During his brief time in the form, Naruto is able to form an incomplete Tailed Beast Rasengan, use chakra arms, and enter an imperfect version of the Tailed Beast Mode, although it lacked legs and possessed only six tails.
- When Minato first entered this mode, his bangs spiked upward and his chakra cloak gained horns similar to those of his son. His hairstyle, however, reverted to its original state in the latter part of chapter 639.
- In the colourised versions of chapters 676 and 678 included in digital editions of Weekly Shōnen Jump, Naruto's skin in this mode was depicted as yellow and his eyes had orange irides, much like his previous transformations. Later illustrations coloured by Masashi Kishimoto instead depict Naruto with his original skin colour and yellow irides. The colouration was corrected in subsequent chapters and the Naruto: Colour Edition release of volume 71.
- Hagoromo attributes the presence of Kurama's chakra alongside Indra's and Asura's to his emergence from Madara's lower body as the Ten-Tail's jinchūriki after Kaguya's restoration.[51]
