Naruto Jinchūriki Forms

Naruto Uzumaki is a Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. When Naruto taps into the demon fox's chakra, it increases every physical aspect of his body. Increased healing, near-limitless chakra, an almost impenetrable shield, and great stamina. Naruto has unique access to the demon fox's chakra due to the seal the Fourth Hokage placed on him. The seal split the demon fox's chakra in two halves, the Yin chakra made it inaccessible to Naruto, but the Yang chakra allowed Naruto to access it.

Jinchūriki Form

By simply tapping into the demon fox's chakra, Naruto's blue eyes turn red, his pupils become slitted, his nails and incisors grow long and sharp, and his whisker marks become more feral. Depending on how much chakra is unleashed, the red chakra could glow around his body in an untamed way. Naruto first reached this form when Sasuke Uchiha was thought to be killed by Haku, causing the pure rage to take over allowing the demon fox's chakra to leak out of the seal.

Even though this is the weakest state of his Jinchūriki forms, it is still a deadly foe as it increases his physical strength and healing well above most shinobi, and increasing his speed to such high levels that nothing short of a fully matured Sharingan is able to track his movements. Until special training from Jiraiya, Naruto could only reach this state through rage or if his life was in imminent danger, but after having a inner talk with the demon fox, he is able to tap into the demon fox's chakra on his own, or by simply telling the demon fox to give him some power.

[edit] One-Tailed Transformation

Naruto in his One-Tailed Transformation

During Naruto's battle with Sasuke at the Valley of the End, when Naruto was at the mercy of Sasuke, the demon fox told Naruto that he should be grateful to it and gave him more chakra. The amount of chakra is so great that it leaks out of his body in a denser state. All the physical traits of the basic Jinchūriki form are present and slightly altered, including a black ring appearing around his eyes, longer nails and canines, and more beserk looking eyes, with one major bonus; the red chakra becomes a complete shield around his body, in the shape of a fox, complete with long ears and a tail, known as the demon fox's cloak or shroud.

The chakra arm attacking

In his one-tailed transformation, Naruto fights more like a beast. Instead of using his fists, he instead uses his sharpened claws. While he can stand on his own two feet, he can move at greater speeds on all fours. But his most powerful weapon is the chakra itself. The bubbling chakra appears to have a mind of its own: when a strike that was meant for Sasuke missed, the chakra itself stretched off Naruto's arm and hit Sasuke before he could react. Since the chakra has a mind of its own, it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to predict Naruto's movements, as Sasuke was able to see Naruto perfectly, but couldn't predict what the chakra would do with the Sharingan. The chakra can stretch far from the body, as Naruto was shown using his "arms" to attack Sasuke from great distances, at one point being on an opposite side of the valley, and still attacking him with the chakra arms. The shield around his body appears to be impenetrable, comparable to Gaara's Ultimate Absolute Defense: Shield of Shukaku.

[edit] Two-Tailed Transformation

Naruto's second chakra tail growing

After catching the Akatsuki member, Deidara, and beating what he thought was Deidara to pieces only to realize he had been attacking a substitution, his anger at losing Deidara and not being able to avenge Gaara's death caused Naruto to slip into his two-tailed transformtion. His physical characteristics match the first two forms, but his red eyes and incisors grow larger, and his lips get a black outline, similar to fox gums. The chakra shield's only difference between the one-tailed transformation and the two-tailed is the extra chakra tail that has grown.

Naruto's three-tailed face. Note: There is little difference between the two and three tailed facial characteristics.

While in this state, Naruto is still in control of his body, though to what extent is unknown. In the anime, he punched a tree, destroying it and a long line of trees behind it, and later he attempted to attack Kakashi Hatake, who later tried to calm him down, and possibly tried to stop him from finding Deidara. The amount of chakra produced by the two-tailed transformation was so great, that even Naruto's shadow clones doubled over in pain from the chakra.

[edit] Three-Tailed Transformation

Naruto in his Three-Tailed Transformation

After Orochimaru revealed himself to Team Yamato and baited Naruto with news of Sasuke, Naruto went on a rage and first attacked him in his one-tailed state. When that failed, along with further baiting from Orochimaru, Naruto skipped the two-tailed transformation all together, and went straight into his three-tailed transformation. The three-tailed state looks exactly like the two-tailed, again the only difference being the number of tails. His eyes become similar to the four-tailed transformation, but can return to normal.

The amount of chakra produced from this form is devastating. The very air around Naruto begins to hurt. This is the strongest form Naruto can reach and control. With the standard chakra shield's protection and attack power, a simple roar has the power to create a devastating sphere of destruction.

[edit] Four-Tailed Transformation

Naruto in his Four-Tailed Transformation.

When Orochimaru was fighting the three-tailed transformation, Naruto turned to the demon fox in desperation and anger, and slipped into the demon fox's grasp. The demon fox's chakra began to burn its way through Naruto's body, destroying his skin, and rapidly healing it at the same time, eventually covering his entire body in a mix between the demon fox's chakra and his own blood. Everything from his face to his chakra tails became completely solid, his eyes losing its characteristics and became empty glowing circles surrounded by a black mask made of chakra.

The four-tailed Naruto charging for an attack.

In this state, in effect, Naruto takes the place of the demon fox inside the cage. The demon fox has complete control over Naruto's body, making it a mere skeleton for the fox's chakra, and every living thing in its way a target. The four-tailed transformation has all the benefits of the other tails, with upgrades. With a simple wave of his hand, it can send a shockwave of destruction for miles. The chakra shield, while being solid, still completely protects Naruto's body, and is so hot that it can burn the skin on contact. If Naruto is hit, the chakra itself can form another body, and strike back almost instantly. The demon fox also has the ability to charge a concentrated ball of chakra, consume it, and then fire it with such a force that it could destroy three Rashomon gates without losing strength. Finally its chakra shield's defensive power is so great that it is impregnable to any form of attack. Even Orochimaru's legendary Kusanagi couldn't even break the exterior shell of the demon fox's chakra, only bending it slightly.

In the end, despite it being Naruto's strongest Jinchūriki form revealed so far, the four-tailed transformation is Naruto's greatest downfall. Because the demon fox's chakra is constantly destroying and creating new cells, it also shortens Naruto's life, similar to Tsunade's Creation Rebirth. Also, because the demon fox has complete control, Naruto will attack anything that moves, including his friends. This discourages Naruto from using this state more than the fact that it shortens his life. Naruto first slipped into this state when he was training with Jiraiya, because he used the toadkey to "twist" the seal the Fourth Hokage placed on Naruto. A small "twist" of the seal unleashed the four-tailed transformation and almost killed Jiraiya.

[edit] Jinchūriki Chakra Control

In the event of the demon fox manifesting, Naruto's sensei, Jiraiya, gave Kakashi a special written seal that is to be placed on Naruto's body. This seal suppresses the demon fox's chakra and restores Naruto to his normal self. In addition, Yamato has demonstrated a technique that reverses Naruto's demon fox transformation, enhanced greatly by the First Hokage's necklace that Naruto wears. Naruto, in the anime, has shown that with enough will power, he is able to suppress the demon fox's chakra from taking over. However, the important factor to this is that the demon fox's chakra was responding to the vessel of its residual chakra so it is unknown if Naruto could use his willpower to suppress the demon fox's chakra if it forced its way in a similar fashion as his first four-tailed transformation.

Sasuke has also demonstrated the ability to forcefully suppress the demon fox's chakra. To parallel the demon fox's apparent connection with the Uchihas, Itachi Uchiha of Akatsuki was originally assigned to capture it as part of the organization's goal of obtaining all the Tailed Beasts. This task was later given to Pein.

Sora

Sora is a monk in the Naruto Series. His name means "sky" in Japanese. Sora also has the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's chakra which was enhanced in him genetically which he has one arm of a Jinchuriki. Sora wants revenge on Asuma for killing his father.

Background

Not much is known about his childhood, only that one day he went berserk and wrecked the Temple of Fire, a place otherwise believed to be an indestructable fortress. Afterwards, he was loathed by some of the monks of the temple, and soon began receiving the same treatment as a Jinchūriki.

He wanted to become part of the Twelve Ninja Guardians. He hates himself because of his powers and gets angry when people stare at him. When they first meet he hates Naruto but then they become friends. Sora does not like getting help from people, especially ninja. He did not even want Team Yamato to come.

[edit] Part II

[edit] Fire Temple Filler Arc

This arc begins due to a misunderstanding, Naruto Uzumaki fights one of the monks-in-training from the Fire Temple, Sora, who also uses wind chakra based techniques. After the confusion, the monks and Team Kakashi travel to the Fire Temple

The temple monks explain that the tombs hold the loyal bodyguards of Fire Country's feudal lord. Naruto observes Sora sparring with other monks and becomes offended upon realizing he is holding back. Naruto challenges Sora, but just as the matter is about to get serious, another monk stops him. Naruto realizes Sora is despised by the other monks as he was himself and wishes to befriend him. Naruto visits Sora again and observes him practicing his wind jutsu in earnest, hoping to get strong enough to avenge his father. They later return to the temple to receive news that another tomb has been robbed.

They are later ambushed by a group of enemy shinobi and Sora, unwilling to look for Naruto, goes off on his own. Sora then hits upon the enemy leader, Furido, and it is revealed that he is the group's target. Sora then starts to question Furido, but he does not answer. Instead he just sits down and roasts some potatoes. Sora gets angry and his chakra starts to get more powerful. Furido taunts Sora until Sora unleashes his true powers, before informing him that he is planning to use the four corpses to save the Land of Fire. After an explosion Sora wakes up only to find out that Furido had vanished, only leaving him a clue that he knows his father and that Sora resembles him.

Sora then is assigned to go to Konohagakure with Team Yamato to replace Sai because of Sai's injuries.

Naruto tries to show Sora around Konoha but Sora goes his own way. Sora's insults precipitate a brawl with Kiba Inuzuka and Choji Akimichi, and Naruto and Rock Lee soon join in. Later Asuma Sarutobi tells Sora he knew Sora's father, who is revealed as one of the Guardians involved in the coup attempt. He also shows Sora his chakra blade attack and then volunteers to to help train Sora and Naruto.

Asuma supervises Naruto and Sora's wind chakra training, and notices that Sora, like Naruto, has very powerful chakra. Later, Asuma gives Sora a claw made from the same materials as his chakra blades. It is revealed that Asuma killed Sora's father Kazuma, who had planned to kill the Hokage. Furido then approaches Sora, telling him that Asuma is responsible for his father's death and passing him two "king" pieces from a Shogi set for Asuma. Shocked by this discovery he goes back to training distressed. Then Naruto approaches a furious Sora in the training grounds, who easily throws a chakra-powered kunai through a tree and destroys the stone behind it.

Later on Sora tries to look for Asuma and follows him to Danzo's interrogation. There he found out that Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane dislike Sora and don't welcome him in the village and plan to kill him. Before Tsunade can make her decision on what to do with Sora, he is caught by ANBU members hiding in the ceiling. Enraged, he yells at Tsunade asking her why would she kill him. Are his powers really that hated? He then goes on by saying that they are just like the fire temple monks. He looks at Yamato asking him, "are these what you call comrades?" He then changes his view towards Asuma and confronts him, accusing him of killing his father, which Asuma confirms. Sora attacks Asuma, his arm once again assuming a demonic form. While he blows Asuma outside, he is unable to maintain it for long, and falters. He is attacked by an unknown individual (presumed to be a Root shinobi), but Naruto shields him from the shuriken, being injured in the process. Sora then approaches Furido, who says that he must kill Asuma and Tsunade to avenge his father and consolidate the "two kings" (the Feudal Lord and the Hokage) into a single leader by eliminating the Hokage.

Later that night, Naruto catches Sora going after Tsunade. Sora retreats as Shizune and a few other ninja arrive, and Naruto pursues him. At that moment, a mysterious lightning storm strikes, cutting off power to the entire village. Meanwhile, Naruto chases Sora for attempting to kill Tsunade. Asuma, commanded by Tsunade to follow Sora and Naruto, finally catches up to them. Asuma realizes that the four invaders plan to annihilate the entire village using the lightning powers of the corpses that they stole. The revelation shocks Sora. As Asuma leaves to help hold off the attackers, he instructs Naruto to continue to pursue Sora.

Later on Furido tells Sora that when The Nine Tailed Fox rampaged around Konoha, The Fourth Hokage sealed the beast with in Naruto Uzumaki and the nine tails chakra that had slipped out when it rampaged was sealed it into Sora by Kazuma and the fire temple. He, Furido, then proceeds to use the Five Elements Unseal to release all of the demon fox's power. Sora grows a demon fox cloak similar to Naruto's, except that he has three spikes on each side of his face.

Like Naruto, he grows tails which increase in number the longer he keeps himself in the demon fox cloak state. If nine tails grow, he will turn into a real demon fox.

Later, as Asuma and Naruto arrive, it is revealed that Furido is actually Kazuma, Sora's father.

[edit] Abilities

• Element: Wind

Sora is a wind natured chakra user like Naruto. He is able to manipulate wind into chakra infused wind blades of energy capable of cutting through most material including rock. He wields a tri-bladed death claw that he learns to infuse with chakra after learning the jutsu from Asuma Sarutobi. Asuma gives him a new blade after his old one is destroyed in a fight with Naruto. Sora also uses Taijutsu known only to the monks of the Fire Temple.

Sora's father Kazuma spliced his cellular make-up with excess chakra of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox to create a pseudo-jinchūriki. Sora is capable, though unwillingly it seems, to transform into a miniature kyūbi much like Naruto. In this form, he has all the power and resistance to injury and attack of an unsealed kyūbi.

[edit] Trivia

• Sora is introduced as a "filler" character in Naruto: Shippūden, and thus doesn't make an appearance in the manga.

Sora Jinchūriki Forms

When the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox attacked Konohagakure, it left a lot of chakra in the air, which was later gathered by Kazuma, one of the 12 Guard Ninjas of Fire, who wanted to create a Jinchūriki weapon for Konoha. After five years of experimentation, he finally was able to implant the demon fox's chakra into the cells of his son, Sora. Because Sora does not have the Tailed Beast sealed within him, but only has his cells combined with its chakra, he is refered to as a Pseudo-Jinchūriki.

Even though Sora does not have the actual demon fox inside of him, the chakra implanted within him can react to the demon fox within Naruto Uzumaki as it somehow called out to him when Naruto was about to be killed by Fuka. Unlike Naruto, he doesn't have as much chakra as the demon fox would usually generate when Naruto is in his demon fox cloak, nor can he control it. Instead, he becomes overwhelmed by the fox chakra's destructive instinct; when in his fox cloak, Sora threatens to kill anyone who stands in his way.

Jinchūriki Form

Sora in his Jinchūriki Form

Unlike Naruto, who has a stable and controlled combination of his own chakra and the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's chakra (because of the Fourth Hokage's seal), Sora can't control the chakra added to his cells. To stabilize this, his father applied a sealing jutsu on Sora several times to keep him and the chakra under control.

When Sora feels frustrated or is in a state of great anger, the chakra can change his right arm into a demonic form. It would seem that he is not aware at all about the change of his arm, and has first noticed it when his father told him.

[edit] One-Tailed Transformation

Sora in his One-Tailed Trasnformation

When his father would stop applying the seals or when he completely releases it, he uses the Five Elements Unseal, which the chakra can run loose and slowly take over Sora's body.

Like Naruto, when the chakra is released from Sora in large amounts, a demon fox cloak will form around Sora, initially and slowly he will begin to grow a chakra tail. In addition, like with Naruto, during this transformation, Sora's hair becomes spiked, his canines longer and sharper, and his eyes turned to slitted fox-like eyes. Also in this form, the chakra surrounding him damages the people around him. In addition, he is also able to inflicate a painful burn to anyone that comes into contact with the chakra for too long.

Due to being a Pseudo-Jinchūriki, Sora has some different features from Naruto in a similar state (besides the arm) including spiked projections growing from his cheeks.

At first when the chakra was taking over his body and he was in pain, and could slightly control himself, but slowly he began giving in to the urges of the demon fox's chakra, and gains a will to kill and destroy everything, a problem Naruto never displayed until the fourth tail emerged.

[edit] Three-Tailed Transformation

Sora in his Three-Tailed Transformation

Skipping the two-tailed form, Sora grows three chakra tails. Like Naruto, he begins crouching on all fours, however unlike Naruto, he has now given in to the demon fox chakra completely, and will only growl and roar, something Naruto never really displayed during his Three-Tailed Transformation, where he seems to still be in slight control.

Like Naruto has in this form, Sora will also gain the ability to blow his opponent away using a simple roar of chakra, and has also displayed he ability to use the extended chakra arm.

[edit] Four-Tailed Transformation

Sora in his Four-Tailed Transformation

Releasing even more chakra than before, even from his mouth, and growing a fourth chakra tail, Sora's skin begins to slowly peel off and in an instant explosion of chakra is he completly covered in the demon fox cloak, resembling a miniature demon fox. With Sora, the demon fox's cloak takes on a yellow, orange colour, while Naruto's cloak is more red.

Also, Sora's legs are thinner and longer, and the spikes sprouting from his face in his earlier transformations is visible in the cloak, alongside his spiked hair, being slightly bigger than when Naruto transformed. In this form, he has absolutely no control of himself.

He possesses the same powers like Naruto in his Four-Tailed Transformation, but his attacks, like the Four-Tailed Strong Ball, seems to be weaker than Naruto's. It has been speculated by Yamato, that Sora's body cannot handle the large amount of chakra.

Later Asuma Sarutobi tells Sora he knew Sora's father, who is revealed as one of the Guardians involved in the coup attempt. He also shows Sora his chakra blade attack and then volunteers to to help train Sora and Naruto.

Asuma supervises Naruto and Sora's wind chakra training, and notices that Sora, like Naruto, has very powerful chakra. Later, Asuma gives Sora a claw made from the same materials as his chakra blades. It is revealed that Asuma killed Sora's father Kazuma, who had planned to kill the Hokage. Furido then approaches Sora, telling him that Asuma is responsible for his father's death and passing him two "king" pieces from a Shogi set for Asuma. Shocked by this discovery he goes back to training distressed. Then Naruto approaches a furious Sora in the training grounds, who easily throws a chakra-powered kunai through a tree and destroys the stone behind it.

Later on Sora tries to look for Asuma and follows him to Danzo's interrogation. There he found out that Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane dislike Sora and don't welcome him in the village and plan to kill him. Before Tsunade can make her decision on what to do with Sora, he is caught by ANBU members hiding in the ceiling. Enraged, he yells at Tsunade asking her why would she kill him. Are his powers really that hated? He then goes on by saying that they are just like the fire temple monks. He looks at Yamato asking him, "are these what you call comrades?" He then changes his view towards Asuma and confronts him, accusing him of killing his father, which Asuma confirms. Sora attacks Asuma, his arm once again assuming a demonic form. While he blows Asuma outside, he is unable to maintain it for long, and falters. He is attacked by an unknown individual (presumed to be a Root shinobi), but Naruto shields him from the shuriken, being injured in the process. Sora then approaches Furido, who says that he must kill Asuma and Tsunade to avenge his father and consolidate the "two kings" (the Feudal Lord and the Hokage) into a single leader by eliminating the Hokage.

Later that night, Naruto catches Sora going after Tsunade. Sora retreats as Shizune and a few other ninja arrive, and Naruto pursues him. At that moment, a mysterious lightning storm strikes, cutting off power to the entire village. Meanwhile, Naruto chases Sora for attempting to kill Tsunade. Asuma, commanded by Tsunade to follow Sora and Naruto, finally catches up to them. Asuma realizes that the four invaders plan to annihilate the entire village using the lightning powers of the corpses that they stole. The revelation shocks Sora. As Asuma leaves to help hold off the attackers, he instructs Naruto to continue to pursue Sora.

Later on Furido tells Sora that when The Nine Tailed Fox rampaged around Konoha, The Fourth Hokage sealed the beast with in Naruto Uzumaki and the nine tails chakra that had slipped out when it rampaged was sealed it into Sora by Kazuma and the fire temple. He, Furido, then proceeds to use the Five Elements Unseal to release all of the demon fox's power. Sora grows a demon fox cloak similar to Naruto's, except that he has three spikes on each side of his face.

Like Naruto, he grows tails which increase in number the longer he keeps himself in the demon fox cloak state. If nine tails grow, he will turn into a real demon fox.

Later, as Asuma and Naruto arrive, it is revealed that Furido is actually Kazuma, Sora's father.

[edit] Abilities

• Element: Wind

Sora is a wind natured chakra user like Naruto. He is able to manipulate wind into chakra infused wind blades of energy capable of cutting through most material including rock. He wields a tri-bladed death claw that he learns to infuse with chakra after learning the jutsu from Asuma Sarutobi. Asuma gives him a new blade after his old one is destroyed in a fight with Naruto. Sora also uses Taijutsu known only to the monks of the Fire Temple.

Sora's father Kazuma spliced his cellular make-up with excess chakra of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox to create a pseudo-jinchūriki. Sora is capable, though unwillingly it seems, to transform into a miniature kyūbi much like Naruto. In this form, he has all the power and resistance to injury and attack of an unsealed kyūbi.

[edit] Trivia

• Sora is introduced as a "filler" character in Naruto: Shippūden, and thus doesn't make an appearance in the manga.

Sora Jinchūriki Forms

When the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox attacked Konohagakure, it left a lot of chakra in the air, which was later gathered by Kazuma, one of the 12 Guard Ninjas of Fire, who wanted to create a Jinchūriki weapon for Konoha. After five years of experimentation, he finally was able to implant the demon fox's chakra into the cells of his son, Sora. Because Sora does not have the Tailed Beast sealed within him, but only has his cells combined with its chakra, he is refered to as a Pseudo-Jinchūriki.

Even though Sora does not have the actual demon fox inside of him, the chakra implanted within him can react to the demon fox within Naruto Uzumaki as it somehow called out to him when Naruto was about to be killed by Fuka. Unlike Naruto, he doesn't have as much chakra as the demon fox would usually generate when Naruto is in his demon fox cloak, nor can he control it. Instead, he becomes overwhelmed by the fox chakra's destructive instinct; when in his fox cloak, Sora threatens to kill anyone who stands in his way.

Jinchūriki Form

Sora in his Jinchūriki Form

Unlike Naruto, who has a stable and controlled combination of his own chakra and the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's chakra (because of the Fourth Hokage's seal), Sora can't control the chakra added to his cells. To stabilize this, his father applied a sealing jutsu on Sora several times to keep him and the chakra under control.

When Sora feels frustrated or is in a state of great anger, the chakra can change his right arm into a demonic form. It would seem that he is not aware at all about the change of his arm, and has first noticed it when his father told him.

[edit] One-Tailed Transformation

Sora in his One-Tailed Trasnformation

When his father would stop applying the seals or when he completely releases it, he uses the Five Elements Unseal, which the chakra can run loose and slowly take over Sora's body.

Like Naruto, when the chakra is released from Sora in large amounts, a demon fox cloak will form around Sora, initially and slowly he will begin to grow a chakra tail. In addition, like with Naruto, during this transformation, Sora's hair becomes spiked, his canines longer and sharper, and his eyes turned to slitted fox-like eyes. Also in this form, the chakra surrounding him damages the people around him. In addition, he is also able to inflicate a painful burn to anyone that comes into contact with the chakra for too long.

Due to being a Pseudo-Jinchūriki, Sora has some different features from Naruto in a similar state (besides the arm) including spiked projections growing from his cheeks.

At first when the chakra was taking over his body and he was in pain, and could slightly control himself, but slowly he began giving in to the urges of the demon fox's chakra, and gains a will to kill and destroy everything, a problem Naruto never displayed until the fourth tail emerged.

[edit] Three-Tailed Transformation

Sora in his Three-Tailed Transformation

Skipping the two-tailed form, Sora grows three chakra tails. Like Naruto, he begins crouching on all fours, however unlike Naruto, he has now given in to the demon fox chakra completely, and will only growl and roar, something Naruto never really displayed during his Three-Tailed Transformation, where he seems to still be in slight control.

Like Naruto has in this form, Sora will also gain the ability to blow his opponent away using a simple roar of chakra, and has also displayed he ability to use the extended chakra arm.

[edit] Four-Tailed Transformation

Sora in his Four-Tailed Transformation

Releasing even more chakra than before, even from his mouth, and growing a fourth chakra tail, Sora's skin begins to slowly peel off and in an instant explosion of chakra is he completly covered in the demon fox cloak, resembling a miniature demon fox. With Sora, the demon fox's cloak takes on a yellow, orange colour, while Naruto's cloak is more red.

Also, Sora's legs are thinner and longer, and the spikes sprouting from his face in his earlier transformations is visible in the cloak, alongside his spiked hair, being slightly bigger than when Naruto transformed. In this form, he has absolutely no control of himself.

He possesses the same powers like Naruto in his Four-Tailed Transformation, but his attacks, like the Four-Tailed Strong Ball, seems to be weaker than Naruto's. It has been speculated by Yamato, that Sora's body cannot handle the large amount of chakra.

Kira Hachi

Kira Hachi (ラービー, kirābī; Literally meaning "Killer Bee") is a ninja from Kumogakure and the Jinchūriki of the Eight-Tailed Beast. He is a black, musclebound Cloud shinobi, who appears to dislike light. On his right shoulder, he has a tattoo that says "iron"; and on his left cheek, he has a tattoo of a bull's horn. He also carries seven swords.

Personality

It seems that he demands respect from those under him and asks to be called "Mr. Jinchūriki" or "Mr. Eight-Tails". He also appears willing to speak in song more specifically in rap style, even when confronted with potential threats. He will even stop in a middle of a fight to write whatever rhymes come to him.

[edit] Part II

[edit] Hunt for the Eight-Tails

Team Hawk, after discovering that the Eight-Tails was training in the Unraikyo Mountains traveled up the mountain. He revealed himself after appearing to contain his Tailed Beast. When Suigetsu attacked him, he easily overpowered him, and uses Suigetsu's sword to defeat Jugo afterwards. He later shows an unorthadox sword style where he manages to hold all seven of his swords in a rather awkward pose, this is deceiving as his seven sword style is extremely formidable and he even fatally wounds Sasuke Uchiha.

As he moves in to finish Sasuke, Suigetsu comes to save him while Jugo attacks from behind. Even with the three fighting him at once Kira appears unfazed by their attacks. When the three do a triple damaging attack to him, he somehow moves extremely quickly to a same position relatively far away. Finally getting annoyed with Team Hawk, Kira decides to go home and have some whiskey, but Karin senses his location. As Sasuke is rocketed to his position, Kira announces he will unveil the "Eight One".

[edit] Abilities

The Eight-Tails Jinchūriki appears to be able to fully transform into his Tailed Beast with great ease, similar to his fellow Cloud shinobi, Yugito Nii and is clearly confident of his own fighting style.

His physical strength and taijutsu skill is immense. He is easily capable of disarming a skilled opponent with his bare hands, and proficiently wielded Suigetsu's giant sword seconds after picking it up. His specialty, however, is wielding his seven swords, which he does in an odd way, holding them in between the joints of his arms and left leg, his stomach and the left side of his neck. As awkward as it appears, he is quite skilled with this, spinning around like a buzzsaw and overwhelming his opponent with all of the varying swings. He is also capable of seamlessly releasing some of the swords to fight in a more conventional style, giving him great versatility. When he does find an opening, he can impale his opponent with most of his swords at once. While fighting with this style, he was effortlessly able to defeat Sasuke, and would have killed him if not for Karin's healing abilities. He has a very strong defense, as seen when Sasuke nailed him with a full blown Chidori, and also when Jugo slammed him in the face with a curse seal powered arm, only to have him say "Those weaklings are really annoying"

During the battle with Sasuke he displayed the ability to conduct chakra down his blades to increase their cutting power like Chidori Current does with Sasuke's Kusanagi Sword.

[edit] Trivia

• His Sword style is reminiscent of Roronoa Zoro's Santōryū in One Piece (a fellow Shonen Jump manga) in that he uses an odd number of swords as well as holding a sword in his mouth.
• He quoted Muhammad Ali's famous line, "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" in chapter 411.
• Though not his confirmed name, Kira Hachi is the fan name given to this Jinchūriki (the other being "Mr. Eight-Tails"). Also, it is hinted he hails from the Yotsuki clan.
