[[File:Bijudama 1.png|left|thumb|The gathering of positive and negative chakra.]]
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 [[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> Despite its density, the Tailed Beast Ball is extremely fast when launched, able to cross an entire sea in a few seconds despite its trajectory being altered by [[Summoning: Quintuple Rashōmon]] when used by [[Kurama]] or when the [[Ten-Tails]] uses it the entire continent in minutes.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 621, page 2-8</ref><ref>''Naruto'' chapter 613, pages 11-15</ref>
 
  +
Tailed Beast Balls are made from an 8:2 ratio of {{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}}.<ref name="ch519">''Naruto'' chapter 519, pages 16-17</ref> Users must gather and balance this chakra in their mouths, [[shape]] it into a sphere (or a conical shape in the case of the [[Ten-Tails]]), and then fire it at their target; [[Gyūki]] likens this to vomiting.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 519, page 12</ref> Most users fire their Tailed Beast Balls as-is, while others may consume the ball and fire it from their mouth as a [[Tailed Beast Heavy Cannon|beam]], focusing the attack on a narrower area instead of letting it detonate all around upon impact. Gyūki is even shown doing something in between, not consuming its Tailed Beast Ball yet still firing it out in a wave.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 414, pages 6-9</ref> There is no limit to how much chakra can be put into a Tailed Beast Ball so long as the 8:2 ratio is maintained: [[Kurama]] has shown to be able to create a Tailed Beast Ball many times bigger than itself when using even a fraction of its chakra. <ref>''Naruto'' chapter 499, page 13</ref> Tailed Beasts can also combine their Tailed Beast Balls to form it into a very large one.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 571, pages 11-12</ref>
   
The power of the attack is relative to the power of the user. 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> Kurama's own Tailed Beast Ball 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 one that is equal to the size and power of a combined ball formed by five other 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 and strength.<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, as well as destroy entire mountain ranges and the explosion could be seen from extremely far away.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 613, pages 10-12</ref> When used by [[Obito]], in his unique jinchūriki form, he summons a [[Wood Release: Flowering Tree|tree]] with many flower-like extensions on them; forming the ball in front of each flower.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 643, page 7</ref>
+
Tailed Beast Balls are incredibly dense, so much so that despite being suspended in the air, they instantly crater the ground beneath the user due to their extreme weight.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 295, page 2</ref><ref>''Naruto'', chapter 571, page 12</ref> Despite how heavy they are, they move at an incredible rate once fired. When used by the Ten-Tails, the Tailed Beast Ball was able to cross several miles in only a few seconds.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 613, pages 11-15</ref> Tailed Beast Balls are very destructive, creating explosions that are visible from incredibly far away and that vaporize almost everything in the blast area.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 613, pages 8-12</ref> The extent of the damage is dependent upon how the ball is fired and how much chakra it has. Its "standard" size is enough to easily vaporize mountains.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 571, page 3</ref> The power of the Tailed Beast Ball is shown to even dwarf islands, however, Kurama and Gyūki have been shown to cause immense damage, such that the devastation dwarfed entire mountain ranges and could be felt across the continent. Tailed Beast Balls are comparatively weaker if a jinchūriki uses one without entering their [[Tailed Beast Mode]], yet it is still potent enough to represent a serious threat to people and infrastructure.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 438, pages 7-9</ref>
   
  +
Some jinchūriki are shown using Tailed Beast Balls in atypical ways. As the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, [[Obito Uchiha]] is able to form multiple Tailed Beast Balls at once via a tree he creates, each of which can fire in a different direction.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 643, page 7</ref> Naruto, when using his [[Nine-Tails Chakra Mode]], can form a Tailed Beast Ball with his hands, similar to how he makes the [[Rasengan]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 598, page 10</ref> He can also add [[natural energy]] to his Tailed Beast Balls, increasing their power and potency,<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 695, page 13</ref> while also allowing them to be used against [[Truth-Seeking Ball]]s.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 645, page 12</ref> In the anime, [[Sora]] uses an entirely white Tailed Beast Ball while [[Version 2|transformed]] under the influence of the [[Nine-Tails]]' chakra.<ref>''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 71</ref>
=== Jinchūriki Usage ===
 
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. Though in the Version 2 state, the Tailed Beast Ball is substantially weaker than when used by the full beast, as shown by Killer B's and [[Fukai]]'s usage when the latter was brought back by [[Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation]] in the anime <ref>''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 318</ref> or Naruto's usage when he was in his Version 2 state.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 295, pages 6-11</ref>
 
   
  +
== Firing Methods ==
When used by Naruto while in the human form of his [[Nine-Tails Chakra Mode|Tailed Beast Mode]], Naruto holds his hands out to form the ball with or without [[Kurama]] being fully manifested.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 571, page 13</ref><ref>''Naruto'' chapter 598, page 10</ref> Like Kurama, he can also create a Tailed Beast Ball as strong as a collaborated one from five Tailed Beasts with ease and swiftness.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 572, page 1-3</ref> Even when Kurama is partially manifested, he can create a Tailed Beast Ball the size of [[Gyūki]] extremely quickly.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 598, page 12</ref> After Kurama permits Naruto to use [[Sage Mode]] while also in Tailed Beast Mode, Naruto learns to mix [[natural energy]] with the Tailed Beast Ball, making it effective against Obito's ninjutsu-nullifying [[Ten-Tails Malleable Chakra|technique]] as well as making it stronger due to Sage Mode's ninjutsu-enhancing abilities.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 645, page 12</ref> Minato can also perform the Tailed Beast Ball while fully transformed.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 645, page 12</ref>

This article is about the technique. For the chapter, see The Tailed Beast Ball.

The Tailed Beast Ball is the ultimate technique of a tailed beast, which can also be used by a jinchūriki while transformed.

Overview

Bijudama 1

The gathering of positive and negative chakra.

Tailed Beast Balls are made from an 8:2 ratio of positive black chakra (+の黒チャクラ, purasu no kuro chakura) and negative white chakra (−の白チャクラ, mainasu no shiro chakura).[2] Users must gather and balance this chakra in their mouths, shape it into a sphere (or a conical shape in the case of the Ten-Tails), and then fire it at their target; Gyūki likens this to vomiting.[3] Most users fire their Tailed Beast Balls as-is, while others may consume the ball and fire it from their mouth as a beam, focusing the attack on a narrower area instead of letting it detonate all around upon impact. Gyūki is even shown doing something in between, not consuming its Tailed Beast Ball yet still firing it out in a wave.[4] There is no limit to how much chakra can be put into a Tailed Beast Ball so long as the 8:2 ratio is maintained: Kurama has shown to be able to create a Tailed Beast Ball many times bigger than itself when using even a fraction of its chakra. [5] Tailed Beasts can also combine their Tailed Beast Balls to form it into a very large one.[6]

Tailed Beast Balls are incredibly dense, so much so that despite being suspended in the air, they instantly crater the ground beneath the user due to their extreme weight.[7][8] Despite how heavy they are, they move at an incredible rate once fired. When used by the Ten-Tails, the Tailed Beast Ball was able to cross several miles in only a few seconds.[9] Tailed Beast Balls are very destructive, creating explosions that are visible from incredibly far away and that vaporize almost everything in the blast area.[10] The extent of the damage is dependent upon how the ball is fired and how much chakra it has. Its "standard" size is enough to easily vaporize mountains.[11] The power of the Tailed Beast Ball is shown to even dwarf islands, however, Kurama and Gyūki have been shown to cause immense damage, such that the devastation dwarfed entire mountain ranges and could be felt across the continent. Tailed Beast Balls are comparatively weaker if a jinchūriki uses one without entering their Tailed Beast Mode, yet it is still potent enough to represent a serious threat to people and infrastructure.[12]

Some jinchūriki are shown using Tailed Beast Balls in atypical ways. As the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, Obito Uchiha is able to form multiple Tailed Beast Balls at once via a tree he creates, each of which can fire in a different direction.[13] Naruto, when using his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, can form a Tailed Beast Ball with his hands, similar to how he makes the Rasengan.[14] He can also add natural energy to his Tailed Beast Balls, increasing their power and potency,[15] while also allowing them to be used against Truth-Seeking Balls.[16] In the anime, Sora uses an entirely white Tailed Beast Ball while transformed under the influence of the Nine-Tails' chakra.[17]
