{{Looking for|the technique used by tailed beasts|the manga chapter|The Tailed Beast Ball}}

Article Text

The '''Tailed Beast Ball''' is the ultimate technique of a [[tailed beast]]. To form the attack, they gather both {{translation|positive black chakra|+の黒チャクラ|purasu no kuro chakura}}, and {{translation|negative white chakra|−の白チャクラ|mainasu no shiro chakura}}, [[Shape Transformation|shape]] it into a sphere, and then compress it inside their mouth. The black and white chakra needs to be balanced at an 8:2 ratio respectively or it will backfire.<ref name="ch519">''Naruto'' chapter 519, pages 16-17</ref> The ball can be fired differently, either in sphere form, which can be detonated for a wave explosion or launched to form a dome-shaped blast which flattens and erases everything around it, or as a concentrated beam of energy which gives it explosive penetrative power. A Tailed Beast Ball is incredibly dense, as when [[Naruto Uzumaki]] in his [[Naruto Uzumaki's Jinchūriki Forms#Version 2|four-tailed form]] created one, the ground around him sunk beneath his weight after he swallowed it.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 295, pages 4-5</ref> When used in close proximity to other tailed beasts performing the technique, the Tailed Beast Balls can be combined, vastly increasing the attack's destructive power and size.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 571, pages 11-12</ref>

The power of the attack is relative to the power of the user. The technique fired from a four-tailed Naruto broke through [[Summoning: Triple Rashōmon|three Rashōmon gates]] without losing its momentum.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 295, pages 6-11</ref> A fully charged Tailed Beast Ball from Gyūki can fill an entire valley with the explosion as well as plough through a [[Thirty-Six Layer Self-Repairing Barrier|multiple layered barrier]],<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 414, pages 6-9</ref><ref>''Naruto'' chapter 536, page 8</ref> while Kurama's own can create an explosion that is far larger than the [[Hokage Monument]] and the mountains around it,<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 502, pages 7-8</ref> as well as equal that of a combined ball of five tailed beasts.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 571, page 12</ref> Individual Tailed Beast Balls from [[Matatabi]], [[Isobu]], [[Kokuō]], [[Saiken]], and [[Chōmei]] seem to be on the same level of destructive power since they all easily vaporised large mountains after Naruto deflected them with his speed.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 571, page 3</ref> When used by the [[Ten-Tails]] in its mature form, the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball took on a conical shape,<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 613, pages 8-9</ref> and upon impact was able to destroy an entire village some distance away.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 613, page 12</ref>

The tailed beasts' [[jinchūriki]] can also use this ability, though they need to be in their full tailed beast forms.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 519, page 9</ref> Should the jinchūriki lose control of their tailed beasts, they can perform this technique despite not being fully transformed, as seen when Naruto used it in his 'Version 2' form.

== Trivia ==
* According to Gyūki, using this technique feels very much like throwing up.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 519, page 12</ref>
* Shukaku uses [[Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet]], a technique of compressed air mixed with chakra from its gut instead of drawing together raw chakra, similar to the Tailed Beast Ball. However, Killer B implied that all tailed beasts can do the Tailed Beast Ball, and Shukaku simply wasn't out long enough to perform the attack when it fought against Naruto and [[Gamabunta]]. In ''[[Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2]]'', Gaara is able to form Shukaku's head out of the sand, which gathers enough chakra to create the Tailed Beast Ball.
* [[Minato Namikaze]] based the [[Rasengan]] off of the Tailed Beast Ball. Killer B observes that the process for forming a Rasengan is exactly the same as forming a Tailed Beast Ball. However, the addition of [[Chakra#Chakra Control|chakra rotation]] is necessary to control the Ball without being in tailed beast form.<ref name="ch519"/>
* In ''Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2'', Gyūki performs a [[Light Hack|lightning-element version]] of this technique.
* In ''[[Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations]]'', the character [[Tobi|Masked Man]]'s [[Summoning: Nine-Tails|ultimate technique]] consists of summoning a [[Sharingan|controlled]] [[Nine-Tails]], who launches a Tailed Beast Ball against the opponent.
* In ''[[Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3]]'', Saiken performs a [[Freight Bundle Bubble|variation]] of this technique, utilising Utakata's [[Soap Bubble Ninjutsu]].
* In ''[[Naruto Shippūden: Kizuna Drive]]'', a beast known as the [[Three-Headed Guardian Beast|Three-Heads]] is shown using a technique similar to a Tailed Beast Ball. However, it isn't shown forming a chakra ball and only the beam is seen.
* In the anime, [[Sora]], who has some of Kurama's chakra sealed in him, used a weaker Tailed Beast Ball.<ref>''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 71</ref> Since he wasn't in control of himself performing the technique, he is not listed as a user.
