How's Andrew Bogut's Rehab going?
Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, hobbes
About a month ago I saw his interview. I haven't heard any updates lately though. Anyone heard anything?
Nothing has changed in terms of his rehab. He is slated to be 100% by season's start but will probably hold himself back for preseason. He arrived in LA a week or two ago to see the doctor and now he's in the bay area at the team facility.
From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
I've caught a couple tweets from him (on this page)..sounds like everything is going to plan and there have been no set-backs. He's supposed to be 100% by the game opener.
The Hulk is a Warriors fan.
ESPN insider
From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
The SJ Merc article 8th Ave posted from said everything was going well and that he was shooting for the opener, but he still seems a long way from being 100% based on what he has been cleared to do so far. I would be a bit surprised if he plays in the opener but I think we'll see him sometime in November barring any setbacks. I hope I am wrong and it's earlier.
+1 I mentioned early in the summer that Bogut had an aloof, removed, casual tonality about him when addressing his injury. It worried me, but I tried giving him the benefit of the doubt. But this close to the season (aka, a month away)? All he keeps saying is "it's going according to plan", but he doesn't expand on what that plan is. If he's only begun to start exploding off that ankle for 20 to 30 times a day... than Jeff is right, he sounds like he's more on pace for a late November or mid December return. But, on the bright side, apparently his "incurable elbow" is cured. And he seems to love having a solid 4 like DLee to back him up. We're talking about 2 guys who have never had any sort of help from the other post in their NBA careers. They'll be fun to watch together. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |
I think he'll start doing more full drills, leading to full training with the rest of the team within three weeks. If the team wants to make the playoffs, Bogut can't miss much
migya make the ring fall on ya |
That may be true... But after the Stephan Curry debacle, they won't let him come back too soon. If Bogut's not ready, he's not ready. And judging by him claiming he only just started exploding off that foot a month and a half before the season, I'd say it's fair to be skeptical as to his readiness.
Im concerned about the health of Bogut. He said he can't play a 30 minute game this week, next week, and probably the week after. But he thinks the next week he will. That concerns me because it takes a long time to get into real basketball shape, especially when you haven't played in so many months. So I'm concerned about that ankle.
Kawakami's update on Bogut:
From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
So far so good. Thanks for the update 8th.
Kawakami... With good news???... the seventh sign of the apololypse!
In all seriousness, that helps ease a lot of the stress I had about Bogut coming back mid-season. Great update, 8th. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |
I can never tell what Kawakami is thinking. Whether he is playing devil's advocate or if he's just always against us. |
Bogut likely won't be at 100% until week three of the season, but that's alright, because his defense doesn't really rely too much on explosiveness as much as it does smarts.
migya make the ring fall on ya |
He's always against us. As a selfish sports fan, you want everything to go right for your team. As a selfish sports journalist, things are much easier to write - and, thus, easier to sell and market - when there's a surplus of chaos. Kawakami is in the business of stirring up sh*t. Even when the entire Bay Area was simultaneously celebrating the return of Don Nelson as head coach - a move that immediately payed playoff-dividends - Kawakami was writing an article about how Nelson detroyed the team the first time around and rehiring him screamed of desperation. He was the only guy that made a huge stink about the Warriors signing Chris Webber on his last leg. He was a total Baron Davis hater when we had him; loved to talk about how he'd quit on his teams, how injury-prone he was, how selfish of a ball player he was... and then, as soon, as Davis left, Kawakami ROASTED Mullin and company for letting him leave. He's a complete and total glutton for punishment because it makes his job easier to perform. FoxNews brings in over a billion dollars per year selling the same stuff. Chaos, disarray, panic, hoping for the worst... it all pays off in the news industry these days. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |

Sarasotans have long known there is something special about the sand at Siesta Key, whether it's the perfect white color, the cool-to-the-touch feel, or the soft powdery texture. And on Saturday there was something else special about it: Sand sculptors from around the region gathered for the 38th annual Siesta Key Sand Sculpture Contest. It's a popular event every year, and by 9:30 Saturday morning the parking lots were already overflowing. The crowds wandered the rows of displays, took a break to dive in the water or stroll the beach, then came back to check on the progress.
The sculptors ranged from professionals with tool belts and chisels to amateurs with buckets and shovels. Teens and young kids joined the fun, too, with designated sections just for them. "My whole family's doing it this year," said Sarasota's Peter Simms. "Just don't tell anyone that my 14 year-old's castle is better than mine."
Even before the judging began, most visitors had picked a favorite, and they had plenty of sculptures to choose from. Of course there were sand castles—though there was nothing traditional about them, with their elegant archways and meticulously etched patterns. Then there was the unexpected: a reclining sunbather beside an ominous shark fin, a mischievous fish in a barrel, and a giant hot dog complete with leaves masquerading as relish. "You've got to love the hot dog," said Mike Harvin of Bradenton as he voted for his favorite. "I mean, those castles are impressive, but a hot dog? It doesn't get any better than that."

Late report for Thursday from the Beach. AG Davis came in from Houston to scratch his fishing itch. Things started off a little slow with the cold water, but as the morning went on the fishing heated up. The Drum and Heads were very cooperative early and once the sun warmed things up some the Trout turned on. Also had a couple big Drum test the drags while catching the Trout. Campo's live shrimp under a cork did the damage on the Trout and we put together a very nice box of fish that cured that itch big time. 50 Trout, 15 Heads, and 2 Drum.
The fishing in Shell Beach has been great and will be all winter long. Since it has been too mild for hunting, why not go fishing? Get in on the winter special pricing and fill up that freezer. Four fishermen for $600 and that includes live bait and fish cleaning. Plenty of open dates, so call now to book yours.
Campo's is open with fuel, live bait, ice, and two back down ramps. Nice and easy launching with helpful advice from the Campo's is waiting for you. For your next fishing adventure call United Charters. Very nice overnight accommodations are available. 504-439-1680.

What do you think of the
First Endurance EFS Energy and Endurance Drink Mix
? Share a...
solid nutrition & tastes good
First Endurance EFS in the grape flavor is one of my favorite nutrition products for cycling. This product not only provides hydration but energy (calories) too. I'm not an expert but the ingredients look good and it definitely tastes great. The grape flavor is extremely mild. Obviously, that's why they call it "mild grape". It's not too sweet and I've never had any cramping with it. It's also fairly economical compared to similar products. On long rides in hot weather I typically fill one bottle with this and the other with Skratch hydration mix.
Sarah D.
It works, but the taste could be better.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I used EFS for a 152 mile bike ride that I did over the summer. Great product, definitely keeps you from having cramps. It is not as smooth as some of the other drinks as far as flavor goes.
Trevor J
It works but why the taste?
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I continue to purchase and use this product because it simply works better than any other endurance fuel powder on the market. That being said, why oh why does it have to taste like a concentrated dose of smashed up smarties? If you're looking for something that works, buy this, but be weary of the taste.
Sweater's Delight
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
When I'm on the bike in the summertime I sweat like a (insert crude joke here). The amount of electrolytes in EFS keep me from cramping up on long rides while I'm losing all the fluid in my body. A year or so ago they changed the formula & the lemon lime which used to be my favorite flavor became a bit too tart for my liking. After trying the Fruit Punch (too sweet) I've settled on the Orange as my new drink of choice.
Great product
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
When it comes to these types of drinks I've tried them all, to find the best one for me. EFS I think is spot on, with their product. Works well, I tend to feel a little more endurance and I don't cramp as much.
Jon Bear
Very salty
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This drink has a higher salt content than other drinks that you can really taste. The first time I drank it I was unsure about this product. After using cytomax for so many years any change was going to feel strange. The next day I used it I was ready for the saltyness and loved it. On a hot summer day you can feel the electrolytes being replaced .I have only used the lemon and lime flavor, but now it is my favorite drink out there. Unfortunately it is twice the price of cytomax so I only use it on 3+ hour rides.
Really Works
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The stuff really does work. I have been taking the lime one and i don't think there is much of a taste. Add some liquid shot in the drink, and BAM... your away.
Matthew Van Wagner
Effective but kinda gross (lemon-lime)
The lemon-lime tastes pretty gross, but it's the only one I've had so I don't know how the other flavors are. It doesn't have the carbs and calories of CarboRocket (which I'm going to stick with) so you definitely have to supplement with bars, gels, or whatever. I'm sure its electrolyte are great, but the taste is pretty nasty, especially when it warmed up on a hot ride.
I love this stuff, i was previously using carboroket but i like the stronger taste of this better than the very subtle taste of other drinks like carboroket or hammer, but then again my stomach handles about anything.
keeps my legs feeling good while riding and I dont ever gets cramps after
David Platt
Better than Gatorade!
This stuff is solid as an electrolyte replacement. I'm partial to lemon/lime flavors and this one is pretty good. Not as sweet tasting as OG Gatorade.
Like it.
Helps me avoid cramps. Pretty salty, wife can't stand it. Bland and I like that.
Jason Bleyl
Great Hydration
I'm a big fan of First Endurance products. The energy and endurance drink is key for long rides, replacing electrolytes. I have been on rides where my friends are bonking on climbs and I'm still motoring on. I partially attribute this to staying hydrated with a product that is designed to keep your motor running. The flavors are pretty good. I'm partial to the fruit punch and grape flavors but I'm not a huge fan of the lemon-lime.
Tommy Nankervis
First Endurance EFS Energy and Endurance Drink Mix
First Endurance make great products. I like their range of flavours in drink mixes. I honestly think this helps me stay better hydrated in races, and it contains some very helpful nutritional products like glutamine too.
Thomas Rabou
Pretty OK
I like the tast of the EFS mix. With higher temperatures I combine it with 1 bottle of water to avoid stumach problems. But in Holland I would just race and train with the First Endurance Drink Mix.
Jon Atencio
First Endurance EFS Endurance Drink.
Robert Kunz from First Endurance talks about the benefits of EFS Endurance drink mix.
Evan Hyde
Great mix
I usually don't like drink mix and prefer water. But now that the RealCyclist.com team is using this mix, I have slowly shifted from racing with all water to all EFS mix. It tastes good and doesn't require water to wash it down. It also delivers a few calories per bottle so I can eat one or two less gels per hour when racing.

Kurama (九喇嘛, Kurama), more commonly known as the Nine-Tails (九尾, Kyūbi), is one of the nine tailed beasts. Centuries of being sought after as a tool for war and regarded as a monster that felt no emotions and deserved none in return caused Kurama to hate humanity. After being sealed into Naruto Uzumaki, Kurama attempts to maintain its negative opinions about the world, but with Naruto's insistence on treating it with respect, the fox overturns its hatred and willingly strives to use its power for the world's salvation.
[show]Background Edit
Kurama and the tailed beasts first came into being in the waning days of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, who used his Creation of All Things ability to divide the Ten-Tails' chakra into nine separate bodies and giving each a name. Some time after being created, the Sage explained to the young tailed beasts that a link existed between them despite their separation. He also foretold of a day when they would be brought together again - though not as they were - and that at that time someone would emerge to show them what true power is.[6][7] After Hagoromo's death, the tailed beasts drifted apart, apparently due to Kurama's belief that their number of tails was an indication of their strength.[8] Over the centuries, Kurama has gained a reputation as an age-old natural disaster, appearing suddenly out of nowhere to attack areas that have been breeding grounds for the darkest aspects of human nature.[9][10]
At one point during the time of the formation of the shinobi villages, the Gold and Silver Brothers of Kumogakure were assigned to capture Kurama, but were both swallowed whole by the fox. However, the two brothers managed to survive and gain some of its power by eating the flesh of its stomach for two weeks, forcing Kurama to regurgitate them.[11][12][13]
After that event, Madara Uchiha defected from Konoha and used his Sharingan to control and use Kurama to help him fight against Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, in order to exact his revenge. During their battle, Madara combined his Susanoo with Kurama, increasing the latter's offensive and defensive capabilities.[14] However, Hashirama was able to remove Kurama from Susanoo and released the tailed beast from Madara's control, subduing it in the process.[15] After his victory over Madara, Hashirama deemed Kurama too dangerous to be allowed to walk free and Mito Uzumaki sealed the fox within herself, becoming its first jinchūriki.[16][17]
Over the period of time which included the first two Shinobi World Wars, Mito kept Kurama at bay except for one occasion when the seal had weakened as she was going through childbirth.[18] Toward the end of her life, Mito passed on this status and responsibility to another member of her clan, Kushina Uzumaki, who later became the wife of Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage. Although Kushina was terrified with the responsibility of containing Kurama, Mito assured her successor that the fox's hatred was powerless against her love.[19]
Twelve years before the start of the series, after the end of the Third Shinobi World War, the Third Hokage and his wife made preparations to ensure that Kurama would remain sealed within Kushina as she gave birth to Naruto. However, despite keeping her childbirth a secret, a masked man discovered Kushina's location, killing her escorts and managing to break the seal, seizing control of Kurama.[20] Since Kushina survived the extraction, the masked man tried to have Kurama kill her before Minato got her and their son to safety. Soon afterwards, the masked man summoned Kurama into Konoha and ordered it to destroy the village.[21]
While Kurama was rampaging in the village and decimating the shinobi forces that tried to repel it, Minato managed to place a Contract Seal on the masked man during their fight to free the fox from the masked man's control. Despite that, Kurama still harboured a deep hatred for Konoha for sealing it away for decades and resolved to destroy the village without orders from the masked man. Before Kurama could annihilate Konoha, Minato summoned Gamabunta on top of the fox, and quickly teleporting it to Kushina and Naruto's location, while letting its Tailed Beast Ball detonate away from the village. Soon afterwards, Kushina used her Adamantine Sealing Chains to subdue Kurama, planning to seal it back inside her before she dies. However, Minato, knowing that Kurama would revive without a host, and how great a threat the masked man is, came up with a plan to give Naruto the means to combat the masked man in the future when he decides to attack again.[22]
Since Kurama's chakra was too immense to be sealed within an infant like Naruto, Minato first used the Dead Demon Consuming Seal to separate and seal its Yin half within himself and then prepared the Eight Trigrams Seal to imprison the Yang half within Naruto.[23][24] With the chain loosening from the fox's reduced size and Kushina weakened, it attempted to stop the process by killing Naruto, but both of the parents sacrificed themselves to protect their newborn child and completed the sealing.[25] Later, upon awakening within Naruto's subconscious and learning the nature of the seal, Yang-Kurama quickly realised the situation behind Minato's intention. However, it calmly decided to wait and weaken the seal through the cracks of its formation with its chakra, determined to influence Naruto as much as it can to use its power.[26] Throughout the years, Kurama constantly leaked out its chakra to weaken the seal, which had positive side effects on Naruto such as accelerated healing with being able to heal from a deep cut in seconds to healing from major injuries in a single day.
In the anime, it was revealed that Kurama had left behind large amounts of its chakra during the attack. Kazuma collected and sealed the chakra within his own son, Sora, hoping to make use of its power for his own agenda.[27]
Personality Edit
Kurama is a cynical and shrewd individual, along with a somewhat twisted sense of humour. It uses "washi" (ワシ) when referring to itself, which is generally used by older men. Kurama is also very prideful, as it believes that a tailed beast's strength is determined by its number of tails, which earned the fox nothing but disapproval from its brethren, especially Shukaku.[8] Despite its arrogance, Kurama acknowledges the fact that it alone doesn't stand a chance against the Ten-Tails,[28] and eventually learns not to underestimate its opponents.[29] However, it does easily get annoyed when Naruto uses a power other than its own, claiming its jinchūriki needs no other power than its own. It is also shown that Kurama deeply cares about the Sage of the Six Paths, viewing him with great respect and even shed tears after the Sage had imparted his final words to them.[7]
Long years of receiving humanity's negative treatment caused Kurama to develop intense hostility and distrust against them, even going as far as proclaiming itself to be the living embodiment of hatred.[30] Ever since its sealing within Naruto, Kurama plotted to use the young shinobi's dependence on its power to gain control over him and break free from the seal, before it was bested in combat and stripped of most of its chakra.[31] However, Kurama's attitude towards Naruto soon began to change during the Fourth Shinobi World War, when the young shinobi told the fox that he hoped to resolve its hatred someday.[32] Despite Kurama reproaching him for making such a claim, the fox nevertheless had developed a level of respect for Naruto and his determination. It even noted that Naruto was different from the humans it had previously encountered, eventually allowing its jinchūriki to utilise the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode without consequence. Later, as Naruto told Son Gokū of his desire to save the tailed beasts and become friends with Kurama,[33] the fox — having witnessed all of the challenges and endeavours Naruto had in his life — silently told the young shinobi that if he truly intended to help them, he would have to prove it through his actions.[34] When Naruto successfully freed Son Gokū from Obito's control, Kurama finally became convinced of Naruto's word and offered to meld its chakra with his as a coalition, to which Naruto then removed the seal that restrained it and happily acknowledged the fox as his team-mate and a member of Konoha.[35]
Within that short space of time, the two had begun to express trust in one another, even to the point where Naruto would allow Kurama to take control of his body without worry, and switch back without hesitation.[36] Kurama later admitted that it had the utmost faith in Naruto being able to defeat Obito and to carry on the legacy Minato and Jiraiya had left him, which also means that it no longer holds a grudge against Minato for sealing it inside of Naruto.[37] Kurama is also shown to be more caring about its comrades now as it put itself in harm's way to save B and Gyūki and even expressed concern for Naruto managing so many chakra cloaks at once. Kurama has also shown a more comical side of itself when it argued with Naruto about each other's stubbornness,[38] and later when it nervously lashed out at a joyful Naruto after the tailed beasts were freed from Kaguya Ōtsutsuki while flipping him off.[39] Ultimately, Kurama formed a strong bond with Naruto; even after its Yang half was freed from its seal in Naruto, the fox accepted Hagoromo's request for it to return within Naruto without argument, showing it had grown to like Naruto's companionship, despite refusing to admit it to others.
Appearance Edit
Although Kurama is a kitsune with red-orange fur and red eyes, it possesses the upper-body structure of a human, complete with opposable thumbs on its clawed hands. During the last remaining days of the Sage of the Six Paths, Kurama was much smaller than its present-day self, but was still much larger than the Sage.[7] Over time, Kurama's size increased tremendously, standing roughly the same height as the Hokage Monument, and Gamabunta being only the size of Kurama's torso. Its eye alone is bigger than a fully grown human.[40] When Minato separated Kurama's Yin chakra from its Yang chakra, it was split into two entities, both of which are shrunken more than half its original size, yet still comparable in size to other massive tailed beasts, standing slightly taller than Gyūki.[41][42] While Yang-Kurama is identical to its original appearance, Yin-Kurama has dark brown fur, but is otherwise indistinguishable from its other half.[43][44]
When Naruto separated Kurama from its chakra, its entire physique became visibly emaciated,[45] but it later regained its healthy look after consuming a certain amount of Naruto's chakra while he was using its own.[46] It is shown that while Naruto manifests Kurama's form in his Tailed Beast Mode, the fox's whiskers are much thicker, and circular markings appear on its shoulders, stomach, as well as the front and back of its paws. Lines also run down its spine, arms, legs and tails.[47] In addition, while Naruto is in Sage Mode, Kurama gains similar thick dark patches circling around its eyes.[48] Upon gaining Naruto's Six Path Chakra, Kurama's avatar grew to tremendous proportions, to roughly the size of Sasuke Uchiha's Rinnegan-enhanced Complete Body — Susanoo.[49] After both halves of Kurama were sealed into Naruto, Kurama was restored to its original state.
Abilities Edit

Kurama was indirectly noted by Kisame Hoshigaki and even itself to be the most powerful of the nine tailed beasts.[50][8] Even Hashirama, who held a natural advantage over the fox, considered it far too strong to be left free.[51] Despite being split into its Yin and Yang halves, Kurama retains immense power superior to other tailed beasts, being able to defeat five of them at the same time.[52] It was also the only tailed beast that could briefly resist Sasuke's Genjutsu: Rinnegan, struggling to attack him even after it was cast.[53] Following the Fourth Shinobi World War, the two Kuramas were sealed back inside of Naruto, restoring the fox into one being along with its full power, which was displayed when it single-handedly defeated Toneri Ōtsutsuki's Statue of the Ōtsutsuki Clan on the moon.[54]
Chakra Prowess and Sensing Edit
Even for a tailed beast, Kurama possesses massive reserves of potent chakra, such that non-sensors can pick up on its chakra signature countries away.[55] It was required to be the final tailed beast sealed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path so its chakra wouldn't overload it.[56] Kurama has shown the reserves to equal a combined attack from five tailed beasts with a single, supercharged attack of its own. It can also accumulate a huge amount of chakra in a short amount of time once it has used up most of its own. The amount of chakra it generated was sufficient enough to be passed on to nearly everyone in the Allied Shinobi Forces. The quality of the chakra was also much stronger than what it transferred to Kakashi Hatake before, said to be three times more powerful than the latter's own.[57] Should Naruto need Kurama to transfer chakra to him, the fox can limit the chakra usable to its jinchūriki alone, even if the chakra was instead absorbed.[58]
Kurama has the ability to sense negative emotions, using it to find Naruto's inner hatred.[59] Kurama can also sense, accumulate, and transfer natural energy to Naruto, effectively bypassing his Sage Mode's weakness.[60]
Ninjutsu Edit
As a tailed beast, Kurama can perform the Tailed Beast Ball and has shown great prowess with it, firing it either as multiple spheres in rapid succession or as a continuous beam. Unlike most tailed beasts, Kurama can 'supercharge' a Tailed Beast Ball on its own, creating one many times its own size for much greater power, even on low chakra. One of these was powerful enough to equal a collaborated Tailed Beast Ball from five tailed beasts.[47][7] Upon being restored to full power, Kurama could launch the Statue of the Ōtsutsuki Clan right through the moon and into orbit with a single Tailed Beast Ball.[61]
Kurama can also create destructive shockwaves that are capable of dispersing a Sage Art: Super Great Ball Rasengan and knocking back five tailed beasts at once.[62][47] Even when just limited through Naruto in his Version 1 and 2 states, they were strong enough to destroy an entire bridge and repel Pain's Shinra Tensei respectively.[63][64] In the anime, Kurama is shown using Wind Release and Fire Release nature transformations, being able to generate twisters and breathe fire.[65]
Physical Prowess Edit
Kurama possesses a great deal of brute force, being reputedly able to raise tsunamis and flatten mountains with just a single swipe from one of its tails.[66] Even when limited through its Yang-half, Kurama was shown strong enough to break through Pain's Chibaku Tensei while only partially transformed,[67] overwhelm Obito's controlled tailed beasts while tossing them around like nothing,[47] and overpower Madara's senjutsu-enhanced complete Susanoo with a single tail.[68] Kurama is also extremely fast despite its massive size, being able to strike quickly with its tails and catch Naruto while he was in Sage Mode.[69] The fox also has immense durability, sustaining several hits from both Naruto and Hashirama's senjutsu-enhanced techniques at different times.[45][70][71] While in Tailed Beast Mode, it could also block a Tailed Beast Ball from the Ten-Tails' initial form without suffering major damage, despite losing six of its tails in the process.[72] When enhanced by Naruto's Six Paths Sage Mode, Kurama becomes powerful enough to clash with Sasuke's Rinnegan-enhanced Complete Body — Susanoo, even deflecting its blades with one swipe of its tail.[73] Upon being restored to its full power, Kurama could physically contend with the Statue of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, overpowering it several times and withstanding its blows without being damaged.[74]
Intelligence Edit
Kurama is very cunning, and like Naruto, it can formulate strategies in the midst of battle. One such example happened when Kurama, through Naruto's body, tricked Obito into using Kamui to absorb Kakashi into Kamui's dimension, only for Obito to become vulnerable to Kakashi's attacks as he phased through Naruto's punch.[75] In addition, Kurama has remarkable leadership skills, being able to stay completely composed even when being overwhelmed by the Ten-Tails and effectively instruct its allies on how best to handle the mighty tailed beast.[76] In the anime, Kurama is shown to be very knowledgeable of fūinjutsu, being able to quickly determine their natures and weaknesses, including the Eight Trigrams Seal that bound it inside Naruto.[26]
Part I Edit
Prologue — Land of Waves Edit
Naruto first made use of the Nine-Tails' chakra during his battle with Haku. Believing Haku to have killed Sasuke, Naruto gave into his anger and entered his initial jinchūriki form in order to defeat Haku. The Nine-Tails expressed great delight at Naruto finally making use of its power.[26]
Chūnin Exams Edit
During the Second Stage of the Chūnin Exams, the Nine-Tails' chakra emerged again while Naruto battled with a disguised Orochimaru in the Forest of Death. Although Naruto's strength abilities increased, Orochimaru recognised the Nine-Tails' power, and countered it with the Five Elements Seal. The seal blocked Naruto's access to the fox's chakra and rendered him unconscious.
Jiraiya, who the Nine-Tails quickly recognised as the Fourth Hokage's teacher,[26] later appeared and removed Orochimaru's seal. Jiraiya explained to Naruto that he possessed two types of chakra. Naruto didn't realise that he was talking about the Nine-Tails until he was taught to take advantage of it. In order to induce Naruto to use the fox's chakra, Jiraiya pushed Naruto off a cliff. In a desperate act to save his own life, Naruto entered his subconscious and met with the Nine-Tails for the first time. The fox expressed immediate desire to kill and devour the boy, but Naruto, even though he knew the power of what he faced, bravely demanded he be given chakra as a form of "rent" for living in his body. Realising that Naruto's death would result in its own, the intrigued Nine-Tails complied, giving Naruto enough chakra to summon Gamabunta. Delighted that Naruto finally became consciously aware of its presence, the Nine-Tails became convinced that it could influence Naruto even more to use its power.[26]
The Nine-Tails kept quiet until Naruto faced Neji Hyūga in the first match of the final rounds of the Chūnin Exams. After Neji used his Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms technique to block Naruto's chakra points, Naruto called upon the Nine-Tails for assistance. Without hesitating, it gave Naruto enough chakra to force his chakra points open and defeat Neji.
Konoha Crush Edit
During Sunagakure and Otogakure's Konoha Crush, Naruto and Gamabunta both did a Combination Transformation technique to take the form of a giant fox (the Nine-Tails itself in the anime), to battle against Gaara in his full Shukaku form. As the battle was near to its conclusion, Naruto once again called upon the Nine-Tails for chakra in order to defeat Gaara, and it complied again without hesitation.
Search for Tsunade Edit
While on his search for Tsunade with Jiraiya, Naruto was confronted by Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki of Akatsuki. Naruto tried to use the Nine-Tails' chakra to help him fight against them, but Kisame quickly used his Samehada sword to absorb it all and attempted to cut off Naruto's arms. Luckily, Jiraiya arrived in time to block Kisame's attack with his toad summon and was able to force both Akatsuki members to retreat.
Later, before Naruto defeated Kabuto Yakushi with a completed Rasengan, Kabuto severed Naruto's heart muscles, and his neighbouring chakra system, to which the Nine-Tails was unable to heal its host. While Tsunade desperately tried to save Naruto, the Nine-Tails noticed that its power was fading as its surroundings grew darker and darker. It, like Naruto, had a near-death experience, something it was slow to recognise. Fortunately, Naruto and the Nine-Tails were able to survive this encounter through the help of Tsunade and her medical ninjutsu.
Sasuke Recovery Mission Edit
During the first stage of Naruto's battle with Sasuke at the Valley of the End, Sasuke, in his first level of the Cursed Seal of Heaven, pierced a fatal wound in Naruto's right shoulder with his Chidori. Fortunately, the Nine-Tails quickly gave Naruto enough chakra to heal his large wound almost instantly and entered his initial jinchūriki form. With this Naruto was able to overwhelm Sasuke with his immense speed; however, as the fight continued, Sasuke was able to predict and overcome Naruto's attacks with his then fully matured Sharingan. The Nine-Tails berated the unconscious Naruto for being too weak and gave him more of its usual chakra to attain the one-tailed form, something the fox indicated that he should be grateful for.
Kaima Capture Mission Edit
Main article: Kaima Capture Mission
Interlude Edit
During Naruto's three-year training under Jiraiya, the Sannin began training Naruto to gain better control of the Nine-Tails' chakra, soon helping Naruto to master wielding the chakra cloak up to two tails. Feeling he was ready to take it to the next level, Jiraiya had Gerotora tweak the seal enough for additional charka to be unleashed. The Nine-Tails however took advantage of this and began mocking Naruto for his failure to save Sasuke, able to use Naruto's negative emotions to overwhelm him with additional chakra. This ultimately caused Naruto to slip into a four-tailed "Version 2" state, which allowed the Nine-Tails to go on a rampage in Naruto's body. Jiraiya was narrowly able to reseal the fox's chakra, to which his passive methods of saving Naruto led to Jiraiya being severely injured.[77]
Part II Edit
Kazekage Rescue Mission Edit
During the conclusion of his battle against the Akatsuki member Deidara, which turned out to be a clay clone, Naruto slipped into his two-tailed form out of anger about Gaara's death. Immediately, Kakashi placed Jiraiya's special seal tag on Naruto's forehead, restoring him back to normal.
Tenchi Bridge Reconnaissance Mission Edit
When his three-tailed form was proven insufficient in his fight against Orochimaru, Naruto gave into the Nine-Tails and entered his four-tailed form. The Nine-Tails took control of his senses and began to attack everything that was around him, including both Orochimaru and Sakura Haruno. After its influence was suppressed by Yamato, he told Naruto that he was the cause of Sakura's injury, which greatly shocked Naruto and resolved not to rely on the Nine-Tails' power again.
Soon afterwards, when Naruto encountered Sasuke again for the first time in almost three years, the Nine-Tails began to offer Naruto its chakra, but he firmly rejected its assistance. The fox became contemptuous at Naruto, mocking him that if it wasn't for its power, he would be nothing. It then tempted Naruto to break the seal so it can "grant" him all of its power, but he still refused. However, before their quarrel could escalate any further, Sasuke, with his active Sharingan, suddenly appeared within Naruto's subconscious, which surprised both Naruto and the Nine-Tails. The Nine-Tails became impressed with Sasuke's growth and ability, but as it stated that Sasuke's chakra was similar to Madara Uchiha, Sasuke effortlessly suppressed the fox's residual chakra with his Sharingan. Although angrily shocked by the display of his power, the Nine-Tails concluded that this might be its last meeting with Sasuke, so it warned him not to kill Naruto, because he would only end up regretting it.
Twelve Guardian Ninja Edit

Akatsuki Suppression Mission Edit
During Naruto's nature transformation training, the Nine-Tails' chakra was surfacing within some of his shadow clones that had grown very frustrated with combining the Rasengan with his wind element. Fortunately, Yamato was able to suppress the chakra before it could cause serious damage.
Pain's Assault Edit
During Naruto's training at Mount Myōboku, the Nine-Tails prevented Fukasaku from fusing with Naruto, making it impossible for him to mould senjutsu chakra for Naruto.
Later, during Naruto's battle with Pain, he slipped into his six-tailed form right after Pain appeared to have killed Hinata Hyūga. Despite the necklace's attempts to suppress it, the Nine-Tails quickly seized the necklace and crushed it. When Naruto was soon contained by Pain's Chibaku Tensei technique, the Nine-Tails tempted Naruto to entrust his heart to it so that it could destroy everything that was causing Naruto pain, thus distorting the seal to the point where the eight-tailed form was released. Before it could convince him to completely remove the seal, the spirit of Minato appeared in Naruto's subconscious and stopped him. Enraged, the Nine-Tails tried to dare Minato to come closer so it could rip him to shreds, but Minato simply ignored it and restored the seal to its original strength.
During Naruto's conversation with Nagato, the Nine-Tails became angry with Nagato's words and its chakra began to leak out while Naruto was in Sage Mode, allowing the two forms to synchronise.[78]
Power Edit
Main article: Power (Arc)
Fourth Shinobi World War: Countdown Edit
When Naruto was summoned back to Mount Myōboku, the Great Toad Sage gave Naruto Gerotora, along with the key to the seal. From this, Naruto was on a task to find a way to control the Nine-Tails' power, in order to fight a fated battle with Sasuke.
Later, at a remote island in the Land of Lightning, after Naruto completed the first step at the Falls of Truth, Killer B then led Naruto to a special room within the secret temple behind the waterfall, where Naruto would fight the Nine-Tails. When Naruto entered his subconscious, the Nine-Tails expressed surprise as it could no longer sense any hatred within him, and questioned Naruto about where the "real him" was, to which Naruto replied that the real him was right in front of it. After Naruto used the key to unlock the seal, the Nine-Tails pushed the cage's doors and fired a Tailed Beast Ball at him, but Killer B used the remaining bit of the Eight-Tails' power to contain the attack. While in Sage Mode, Naruto was able to weaken the Nine-Tails with the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken and started to drain out its chakra. However, the Nine-Tails planted its hatred within its drained chakra, and it suddenly began to consume Naruto, making him lose the control and forcing him out of Sage Mode. Just before Naruto completely succumbed, the chakra imprint of his mother Kushina Uzumaki appeared, halted his transformation, and used her Adamantine Sealing Chains to subdue the Nine-Tails, to which the fox reacted in anger and shock when it recognised her chakra.
After being comforted by Kushina, Naruto's positive emotions depleted the Nine-Tails' hatred within its drained chakra, and he made a large number of shadow clones, forming multiple Rasengan as they charged at the fox. After the Nine-Tails broke most of the chakra chains, Kushina immediately used the last chain that was attached on the fox's leg to make it trip, giving Naruto's shadow clones enough time to enter Sage Mode and bombard it with the Sage Art: Many Ultra-Big Ball Spiralling Serial Spheres. As the Nine-Tails was pushed back from the impact, one of Naruto's shadow clones immediately used the Rasenshuriken to weaken the fox further and completely separate it from its chakra. When the chakra merged with Naruto, the enraged Nine-Tails attempted to fire a much larger Tailed Beast Ball, but its attack was ultimately dissipated as Naruto used a new, stronger seal to imprison the fox once again. As the Nine-Tails disappeared into the darkness, it told Naruto that it would never forget this defeat.
Fourth Shinobi World War: Confrontation Edit
While Naruto and Killer B continued their way to the battlefield, the Nine-Tails pulled its jinchūriki into his subconscious, berating him for squandering its chakra. Calling Naruto naive for thinking he could stop the war and bear the hatred by himself, the Nine-Tails tried once again to tempt him with power, but to no avail, earning Naruto some recognition. After the Nine-Tails reminded Naruto about the day he met Sasuke and how he was consumed by hate even then, it claimed that the boy's attempt to put an end to hatred is futile. In retaliation, Naruto pinned the fox down with a torii while exclaiming with great confidence that he already planned on how to stop both Sasuke and the war. As the Nine-Tails recalled Naruto's growth, it then condescendingly complimented him for finally learning how to stand up for himself before being unnerved by the boy's promise to someday resolve the fox's own malice.
Fourth Shinobi World War: Climax Edit
Later, after the reincarnated Madara Uchiha was fighting against one of Naruto's shadow clones and the Fourth Division, he attempted to summon the Nine-Tails. Even though the summoning failed, the fox angrily recognised Madara's chakra calling for it and resolved to lend Naruto its chakra. Naruto at first thought that it was going to attempt to take over his body like it used to, but the Nine-Tails explained that it would rather help Naruto than be manipulated by Madara again. The Nine-Tails then spurred Naruto on as he countered the Uchiha's attack.
As Killer B and the real Naruto were fighting against Tobi and the reincarnated jinchūriki, the Nine-Tails proceeded to feign sleep while it purposely stopped consuming Naruto's chakra, deciding to let the young shinobi fight on his own against the Four-Tails. The Eight-Tails tried to convince the Nine-Tails to continue its much needed support, but the fox replied that it would not cooperate with its jinchūriki as easily as the Eight-Tails does. As the Nine-Tails remembered the words that Madara, Hashirama, Mito, and Kushina had said to it in the past, the fox concluded that no matter how the humans said it, it would always come down to the same thing, with the exception of Naruto, a thought which silenced it. The Nine-Tails quietly watched on as Naruto was speaking with Son Gokū, only expressing annoyance when its name was revealed to Naruto.
While thinking back on the events in Naruto's life and watching the proceeds, Kurama silently noted that Naruto of all people should know that no matter what he said to the tailed beasts, his true intentions would only reach them through his own actions. After Naruto successfully removed Tobi's control over Son Gokū, Kurama silently celebrated the small victory and offered to lend him more of its chakra. Before accepting however, Naruto thanked Kurama for its help during his encounter with Madara, to which the fox rebuffed him before offering to meld their chakra together. Naruto opened the seal's gate and acknowledged Kurama as his team-mate from Konoha. As a result, Kurama enabled Naruto to enter a new form, in order to stop the other tailed beasts that were bearing down on Might Guy and Kakashi.
However, as this was their first time transforming into this mode, Kurama warned Naruto that they only had five minutes. They first started by grabbing Chōmei in mid-flight to pile-drive it into Isobu, but it rolled out of the way to counter-attack after Saiken quickly swallowed Kurama's hand prior to Gyūki joining the fray. When Matatabi attempted to pounce on Naruto and Kurama from behind, they fiercely swung Saiken right into the monster cat, throwing the two away from a distance. As the other tailed beasts gathered and performed a collaborative Tailed Beast Ball, Naruto and Kurama performed one of their own and cancelled the attack. Right after that, Naruto entered a deeper level of Kurama's subconscious, where he meets the other five tailed beasts and their jinchūriki, to which Kurama explained that this was somewhere not even Tobi could enter. As it remembered the Sage of the Six Paths, Kurama asked its brethren if they too believed that Naruto was the one the Sage had spoken of so long ago, to which they agreed before being resealed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
While they were fighting against the Demonic Statue, Tobi summoned both the Benihisago and the Kohaku no Jōhei which contained the reincarnated Gold and Silver Brothers, who possessed a portion of Kurama's chakra. Right after the masked man made the giant statue devour them, Kurama, who had sensed its own chakra signature within those two items, requested Naruto to switch with it so it could explain the situation to the others, as well as about the Ten-Tails and what its revival would mean. Kurama also echoed Kakashi's words that something needed to be done before the Ten-Tails' revival was completed, afterwhich, on Naruto's request, Kurama switched back with him. Kurama was later seen smiling when Naruto opposed Tobi's ideals and told him that he was who he was today because he had heroes to look up to and to show him the way. After a brief fight, Tobi tried to instil doubt into Naruto by telling him what would Jiraiya and Minato say if he ended up neglecting the legacy they left him. Kurama, recalling what Minato said to Naruto during his battle with Nagato, requested Naruto to switch again and directly told Tobi that Naruto would never follow his ideals and that Minato sealed it into Naruto so that he could defeat Tobi. After melding their chakra together once more, Naruto entered his Tailed Beast Mode and Naruto began his assault on Tobi after being assured by Kurama that he would not fail.
As the battle raged on with Madara suddenly entering the fray, the reincarnated Uchiha summoned Hashirama's giant wooden dragon in order to restrain Naruto. While Naruto instantly manifested Kurama's body to fight against it, the wooden dragon eventually managed to bind Naruto and started draining Kurama's chakra, forcing his tailed beast form to falter. However, Naruto was able to quickly escape from its coils before it could absorb any more of Kurama's chakra and created a shadow clone to protect Kakashi from Obito. When Kurama noticed that Kakashi was low on chakra, it told Naruto to switch places with it, and, through Naruto's body, tossed Kakashi at Obito, who used Kamui to absorb him into Kamui's dimension. Despite Naruto initially berating it for what it did, Kurama assured him that he could now fight without worry. Naruto attacked Obito again and phased through him, but surprisingly Obito coughed up blood. Kurama revealed that it transferred some of its chakra to Kakashi, allowing him to attack Obito in the other world and come back to the real world with Kamui. Meanwhile, the original Naruto entered the full Tailed Beast Mode to create a giant Tailed Beast Ball with B and Gyūki and fired it at the Demonic Statue. This was all done in vain however, as after the resulting explosion, the Ten-Tails had been revived.
Naruto and the others quickly regroup while Kurama restored Kakashi and Guy's respective chakra, but the Ten-Tails, under the control of Obito and Madara, quickly overwhelmed them before they could finish devising a strategy. Kurama and Gyūki then fired a barrage of Tailed Beast Balls at the Ten-Tails, who easily deflected them with a single blast of its own. Kurama and Naruto were able to withstand the attack (losing six of its tails in exchange) and threw Kakashi and Naruto's Sage Mode shadow clone above the Ten-Tails, where Kakashi teleported Gyūki who prepared to launch a Tailed Beast Ball from the beast's blind-spot. However, the Ten-Tails simply flicked the attack back at Gyūki, leaving Naruto's shadow clone, and Kakashi open for an attack. Kurama and Naruto were able to rescue Kakashi, Gyūki, and B before the Tailed Beast Mode was deactivated, which Kurama noted to Naruto that it needed time to generate more chakra.
Later echoing Hinata's sentiments that Naruto's life was not his own, the fox reminded him that it was also here and that his parents had also died in a similar manner to protect him. After the words finally get through to the young shinobi, Naruto once again entered Tailed Beast Mode, and with Kurama's instruction, created shadow clones to distribute its chakra to the other remaining shinobi to help empower their respective abilities. Kurama then silently praised Naruto's ability to distribute his chakra to others despite how different they were, the fox noted that Naruto had surpassed his father, and mother. Continuing their attack on the Ten-Tails, Kurama warned Naruto that the Ten-Tails was continuing to mature and to be careful about micro-managing all of the chakra he had given his allies, as it was exhausting him. Kurama also warned Naruto that the Ten-Tails was preparing its devastating attack, the Tenpenchii. After the attack injured Naruto and drained him all of Kurama's chakra, the fox proceeded to gather more chakra to prepare for another assault. After the reincarnated Hokage's arrival, Kurama was suddenly startled by Minato's use of its chakra. Naruto boasted about Minato's ability with the fox's chakra, only for Kurama to point out it already knew about Minato's skill, given he was the one to use such a complex technique to seal it into Naruto. Later, when Naruto's mantle disappeared and the young shinobi requested the fox to supply him with more chakra, Kurama advised him that he should stay in his normal form a bit longer if he wanted to enter Tailed Beast Mode.
Birth of the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki Edit
Meanwhile, as their battle strategy unfolded, Kurama's Yin half within Minato noted that Naruto's actions and speech about his father was touching enough to move this half of it. Yin-Kurama also told Minato to disregard Obito's words as he was not responsible for any of those tragedies and that instead of leaving his son to do it, he should also act. Later, when Naruto and Minato bumped fists, Yin and Yang-Kurama came in contact with each other, with Yang-Kurama greeting its other half casually and asking it to share its chakra, which led Yin-Kurama to note that asking itself for chakra was an odd situation. Nonetheless, when the father-son duo prepared to deal with Obito, the two halves of Kurama also bumped fists as they prepared to initiate their strategy. As their chakra begin to meld, the two halves conversed about Minato and Naruto, leading Yin-Kurama to comment that Naruto must have had some upbringing to treat a tailed beast as a comrade.
As Naruto donned the Tailed Beast Mode shroud and prepared to attack Obito, only to be reminded that only senjutsu-based attacks would work, Yang-Kurama reminded Naruto of the time during Pain's invasion that the two modes had been combined and noted that while had resented Naruto's use of another power instead of its own, it would allow him to use Sage Mode while also using its own power. Yin-Kurama advised Minato to follow suit so that he could provide powerful support for his son. With this, both shinobi, shrouded in Kurama's form, created a giant, senjutsu-enhanced Rasengan and were teleported to Obito's location by Tobirama. However, the Uchiha anticipated the attack and was able to deflect it. Reassessing their strategy to destroy the mysterious black substance, Naruto and Minato formed a senjutsu-enhanced Tailed Beast Ball, but Obito quickly created a full-blown replica of the Ten-Tails' tree form, and its roots started chasing and absorbing chakra from anyone in its path. As the Allied Shinobi Forces began to despair, Naruto, through Ino Yamanaka's telepathy, conveyed his memories and feelings to them, restoring their resolve to fight.
After Yin-Kurama transferred the majority of its chakra to its Yang half, Naruto joined Sasuke in their team assault against Obito. With a senjutsu-enhanced Tailed Beast Ball, as well as Sasuke firing a senjutsu-enhanced arrow with his Susanoo Bow, they cracked the sphere Obito had wrapped around himself as he pushed forward. The battle continued, resulting in Sasuke's Susanoo and Naruto's Tailed Beast Mode form being destroyed. However, Sasuke and Naruto got up on their feet again, their resolves untouched, and Sasuke then manifested his final Susanoo to encase Naruto's Tailed Beast Mode mantle. Using the telepathic link, Naruto called for his comrades who rallied to his side all donning Tailed Beast Mode mantles as they entered Kurama's tails. Using the Rasengan Naruto had created, they all attacked and broke through Obito's shield, allowing Naruto and Sasuke to deliver a devastating blow against Obito and forcing out the chakra of all the tailed beasts. Through the combined effort of the Allied Shinobi Forces, all of the sealed tailed beasts were extracted from Obito's body, reducing the Ten-Tails within him back to its empty shell. As Naruto and the rest of the Allied Shinobi Forces went to aid Hashirama against Madara, Yin-Kurama explained to Minato who was tending the defeated Obito that he was not in mortal danger from the extraction as the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was still filled with great amounts of life energy, but rendered immobilised for a while.
Naruto and Yang-Kurama re-entered Tailed Beast Mode to join the other tailed beasts in assaulting Madara, but the Uchiha survived their attacks and retreated to a safe distance. After he received his own right Rinnegan eye from a White Zetsu clone, Madara quickly summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path from Obito's body, and used the Rinnegan to repel the tailed beasts. With the tailed beasts stunned, Madara then proceeded to chain them up and prepared to remove Yang-Kurama and Gyūki from their jinchūriki. As Naruto failed to cancel the Tailed Beast Mode, Yang-Kurama contacted Gaara to transfer its Yin half from Minato to save Naruto, wishing him luck before it was extracted and sealed within the statue along with the other tailed beasts.
Unfortunately, Black Zetsu put himself between Naruto and Minato just as the latter was transferring Yin-Kurama, becoming its jinchūriki in the process. As Madara, now the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, arrived, Black Zetsu attempted to return to the Uchiha with his left Rinnegan eye and Yin-Kurama, only for Obito to overpower Black Zetsu and maintain their merger. Having decided to help the Allied Forces stop Madara, Obito worked with Kakashi to teleport Naruto to Kamui's dimension, and soon joined him. Once there, Obito proceeded to transfer Yin-Kurama into Naruto.
Within Naruto's subconscious, as he spoke to the spirit of Hagoromo, Yin-Kurama along with the chakra portions of the other tailed beasts, including Gyūki and Shukaku, which Obito stole from Madara and also sealed inside Naruto, manifested to join the meeting. They voiced their continued trust in the Sage and their belief that Naruto is the child of prophecy. Later, after Naruto returned to the battlefield, Madara managed to regain both his eyes. He then proceeded to perform the Chibaku Tensei to set up for the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Yin-Kurama then lent Naruto chakra for him to use Tailed Beast Ball Rasenshuriken against the Chibaku Tensei satellites.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki Strikes Edit
Later, Madara's ambitions were cut short by Black Zetsu, who revealed itself to in fact be the manifestation of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. It then used Madara's body as a medium to resurrect its true creator. After Kaguya managed to trap Sasuke in a separate dimension, Yin-Kurama granted Naruto more chakra, letting him create a massive army of shadow clones.
Yin-Kurama, alongside the chakra portions of its brethren, helped Naruto create an onslaught of Rasenshuriken that dealt a significant blow against Kaguya. After reacting to the chakra, Yang-Kurama and the other tailed beasts within Kaguya tried to escape but caused Kaguya to morph into a rabbit form with a gigantic blob of the tailed beasts. After Kaguya was touched by Naruto and Sasuke's seals, Yang-Kurama and the other tailed beasts were extracted from Kaguya as she was sealed away. After escaping, Son Gokū praised Naruto's efforts, causing Yang-Kurama to grin. The tailed beasts then ran away from the new moon and joined the rest of Team 7. When Naruto joined them, he and Sakura were both shocked by the fact that they couldn't escape the dimension, causing Son to state that Naruto was still a bit dumb, making Yang-Kurama grunt. However, Hagoromo, who called upon the souls of all of the previous Kage, performed a massive summoning alongside the reincarnated Hokage in order to return the tailed beasts, Team 7, and Madara's body back to the real world. Having returned to the real world, Naruto, happy to see Yang-Kurama again, asked if it missed him, which lead the flustered fox to comically deny his claim, much to Son's entertainment.
After the past Kage return to the afterlife, plans for the future were discussed, to which the tailed beasts expressed their joy at finally being free. As Yang-Kurama was surprised to hear Gyūki's wish to return to B, Hagoromo insisted to the fox to return within Naruto to watch over the young ninja, who has become an important part of the tailed beasts' existence. While Yang-Kurama accepted Hagoromo's request, Sasuke made his own intentions known. Desiring to kill the current Kage and seize control of the tailed beasts, Sasuke swiftly accomplished the latter with his Rinnegan. Subdued by Sasuke's genjutsu, the tailed beasts were then sealed within Sasuke's Chibaku Tensei.
Soon after, Naruto and Sasuke finally have their long-awaited confrontation, ultimately leaving both ninja battered and exhausted. Yin-Kurama attempted to help Naruto by accumulating a little extra chakra for him, but it got absorbed by Sasuke. As it recalled Yang-Kurama's memories on Naruto's determination to save both Sasuke and Kurama, Yin-Kurama applauded Naruto for countering Sasuke's Chidori and noted that transferring the last of its chakra would put itself to sleep. After the battle, where Sasuke declared Naruto the victor, the two dispelled the Infinite Tsukuyomi and Sasuke released the tailed beasts from their prisons.
Blank Period Edit
The Last: Naruto the Movie Edit
Main article: The Last: Naruto the Movie At some point after the war, Yang-Kurama would be resealed in Naruto along with the Yin half, which returned the two halves into a complete state. This allows Naruto to now transform into the full Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.
During the fight on the moon, Naruto had Kurama fight the Statue of the Ōtsutsuki Clan while Naruto battled Toneri. Eventually, Kurama was able to blast the statue away into space with a Tailed Beast Ball. Kurama then later wrote the "Mission Complete" symbol on the moon's crater so everyone on Earth knew they succeeded in their mission, but the fox complained to Naruto that its penmanship was terrible.
Epilogue Edit
Years later, Naruto would become the Seventh Hokage and would host a Kage Summit within Konoha. Kurama, being present, would sleep during the meeting.
In Other Media Edit
Movies Edit
Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow Edit
During the fight between Naruto and Dotō Kazahana, he managed to knock Naruto, who was at the disadvantage due to having the Chakra Negator on him, though the ice of the lake they were standing on, causing him to sink beneath the waters. However, as Naruto called upon the Nine-Tails for its chakra, which helped break the Chakra Negator, it allowed him to recover quickly and summon his shadow clones to overwhelm Dotō.
Naruto the Movie: Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom Edit
During an attempt to escape the Land of the Moon, the three ninja hired by Shabadaba attacked, disabling Naruto, Kakashi, Sakura, and Lee with poison mists that slowed their reactions. The prince Michiru Tsuki was captured, but the emergence of the Nine-Tails' chakra allowed Naruto to repel the attacking ninja before the prince's son could be taken.
Naruto Shippūden the Movie: Bonds Edit
When Naruto fought against the Zero-Tails to free Amaru from its influence, the malevolent spirit sensed the Nine-Tails within Naruto and expressed desire to obtain its power. The Zero-Tails then taunted Naruto and coaxed him into using the fox's power by saying that he couldn't save anyone without it. That made Naruto remember his failure in saving Sasuke and became emotionally unstable, which caused him to eventually enter his four-tailed form. After fighting with the spirit for a while, he turned back to normal when a seal on Naruto given by Jiraiya came off and reminded him of how the tailed beast chakra hurt his friends in which he immediately turned back to normal.
Later, when Shinnō grabbed hold of both Naruto and Sasuke and began draining their chakra to empower the Zero-Tails, Sasuke activated the first level of his cursed seal, releasing its evil chakra, and Naruto, who had understood Sasuke's plan, sent a large amount of the Nine-Tails' chakra into the Zero-Tails, which was too much for the spirit to handle. They managed to break free and Naruto used the Tornado Rasengan to defeat it.
Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie Edit
In the alternate world that Naruto and Sakura ended up in, the Nine-Tails has a counterpart called the Black Nine-Tails (黒九尾, Kuro Kyūbi), who is sealed within the body of Naruto's alternate self, Menma. Menma's hatred has allowed him to bond with the Black Nine-Tails, and he is able to create and control living entities composed of its chakra, which are known as the Nine Masked Beasts. He doesn't display any kind of tailed beast transformations during the film, but he is able to completely unleash the black fox, using it in a manner similar to a summon.
At the climax of the film, Menma restored and summoned the Black Nine-Tails so he could finish Naruto off. When Naruto was overwhelmed, the Nine-Tails berated Naruto for being defeated by a fake, however, not wanting to be trapped into a world controlled by Tobi, it offered a truce with Naruto to work together. Having no other choice, Naruto opened the seal to summon the Nine-Tails in a similar matter to fight against its opposite. In the battle, Naruto was barely able to win, but Tobi revealed that this was his plan, to have Naruto and Menma fight, as doing so would cause the two foxes to fight and weaken the Nine-Tails. As he possessed Menma, the Nine-Tails warned Naruto to avoid eye contact with the Sharingan, as it would allow Tobi to extract the fox out of Naruto the same way he extracted it from Kushina.
Video Games Edit
Kurama has some minor roles in some of the Naruto video games. In Naruto Shippūden: Dragon Blade Chronicles, Kurama appears as a boss when it tries to take control of Naruto. In Naruto Shippūden: Kizuna Drive, Gensui Amagiri creates a fake Naruto, who transforms into Kurama, "kills" Gensui and destroys Yumegakure, all to pin the blame on Konoha and the real Naruto. Gensui later transforms Ryuka Tenrō into a false replication of Kurama, but Konoha 11 soon defeated her. Kurama also appears as a boss twice and a playable character in the story mode of Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3. In Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution, Mecha-Naruto possesses most of Naruto and Kurama's abilities, such as the Rocket Rasengan and a mechanical variant of the Tailed Beast Ball. Additionally, it can also shoot rays with its "eyes", after targeting the opponent. It can also merge itself with a huge mechanism to form Mecha-Kurama.
Trivia Edit
The Springtime of Youth wiki has an article about this topic: |
- 'Kurama' (九喇嘛) literally means 'nine lama'. Kishimoto was mainly inspired to create Kurama based on the character with the same name from the manga series Yū Yū Hakusho.[79] The name may also reference Mount Kurama (鞍馬山, Kurama-yama), the sacred mountain said to be the home of Sōjōbō, a tengu who taught the arts of swordsmanship to Minamoto no Yoshitsune.
- A kitsune (狐, fox) is a popular figure in Japanese folklore, and is the influence to many other reincarnations in modern Japanese culture. Kitsune are very well-known to be cunning and mischievous creatures with shape-shifting abilities, to which on occasions, use to transform themselves into beautiful women in order to seduce men (possibly the inspiration for the Sexy Technique). They are also said be rivals to the tanuki, which created an old Japanese proverb: "A fox and a tanuki matching their cleverness" (狐と狸の化かし合い, kitsune to tanuki no bakashi ai), meaning as much as two sly characters trying to outsmart one another. However, kitsune are known to keep their promises, a trait Naruto has; his ninja way is to "never go back on his word". It is also noted that every time Naruto becomes overwhelmed by Kurama's power, he gains another 'tail' of chakra, which stems from the belief that the more tails a kitsune has, the more powerful it is, with nine being the limit.
- Based on its reaction, Naruto almost dying at the hands of Kabuto was the only time Kurama was close to death, or to that matter, suffered any injury it could not simply heal through.[80]
- Kurama is the only character in the series to, in a sense, have the distinction of being alive and deceased at the same time. While Yang-Kurama was alive and well during the entire series, Yin-Kurama was deceased along with its jinchūriki Minato until sealed into Naruto as well.
- Yin-Kurama has the notable distinction of being the only tailed beast never to have sealed inside the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
- In the manga pilot, Kurama was actually Naruto's father, who attacked the ninja village and needed nine shinobi to defeat. Hiruzen was the only survivor and had taken pity on Naruto, who had taken human form, and allowed him to live in the village.
Quotes Edit
- (To Naruto) "I suppose I can't kill you, can I? After all, you die, I die. Your courage is impressive, little boy… Very well, as a reward for making it this far, I will loan you my chakra!"[81]
- (To Naruto) "You runt, you really are weak! You better be grateful to me… and to your beloved Fourth Hokage, who sealed me inside a twerp like you!"[82]
- (To Sasuke) "With that vision of yours and chakra more ominous than my own… You're the spitting image of Madara Uchiha from the elder days…"[83]
- (To Naruto) "Destroy everything… Erase everything that hurts you… Entrust your heart to me… I will save you from your pain…"[84]
- (To Naruto) "You don't have what it takes to control my power! You're nothing more than a mere fragment of my hatred!"[85]
- (To Naruto) "Are you stupid!? I am the Nine-Tails! I haven't fallen so far that a little child can influence me! I am hatred incarnate!"[30]
- (About Naruto) "Naruto… If you really want to do something for us… then do what you've always done… Prove it to us with your actions! That's who you are!"[86]
- (To Obito) "Sorry but… this guy doesn't suit your words. The Fourth Hokage entrusted me to Naruto… We became friends and now he's able to use my chakra!! The Fourth sealed me into Naruto… to take you down!!"[37]

Electronic Repair reviews in Mason
I can hardly wait for him to do more work at our house!
wrong!!! I brought in a 3yr old 55" plasma that lost it's picture and paid $450.00 to repair it.
One of the video boards went bad and needed to be replaced.
The unit worked for 3 weeks and then no picture again. Took it back and was told that the same video ...More /> board went bad again and it was covered under the very small warranty (30 days
labor & 90 days for parts) offered.
Upon picking up the set the owner ( ) assured me that it was
very rare for something like this to happen and that he also installed an
upgrade to the board so that it wouldn't happen again. Guess what?
After 75 days no picture!!
Again loaded up the big TV and drove 30 minutes to
Audio Electronics for a third time and dropped it off. Was told that the same board failed and that
the 90 warranty clock began with the first replacement board and thus no
warranty and I would have to pay for the repair AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! Told the owner no thank you ( 't want to
have to pay for another repair in maybe another few months) and picked up the TV
and other then saying hi he said nothing.
Not I'm sorry this happened again etc…
This business has either a bad supplier of parts (which they
should address and stand up for their customers) or they are repairing the
boards in-house with cheap parts and over charging with the premise that they
are replacing the boards. The shop is
very small and dirty looking so they must be operating on a shoe string
Very poor and expensive customer service experience. This is not how you run a business and treat
quoted me $45 plus postage to effect a repair, did it within ten days and the device now works perfectly. Not just convenient and cheap, but also does my bit in saving some landfill and yet another device being shipped in from China.

I get what you are saying however bootloaders usually have to be rewritten every time a OS is installed (or kernel change). If you were to have an additional nand storage device on the board then perhaps I could see it (such as the nand devices used on some Asus boards with their Expressgate SSD). It seems to me then however that if motherboard manufactures were to start accommodating such setups it would be just as easy to standardize and document their "special" board features so that it could be properly put into Coreboot to begin with.
Usually only the bootloader configuration really needs to change, and the OS-specific config can be stored on whatever disk the OS is installed to, sort of like GRUB (actually, GRUB itself can already be used as a coreboot payload). If the disk is inaccessible you can't boot the OS anyway.
Besides, even supposing that you did need to rewrite the whole thing every time you do a kernel upgrade, modern SLC flash chips are usually rated to at least 100,000 write/erase cycles. If you're going to burn through that before the board is retired, you're probably savvy enough to handle buying a board with a socketed flash chip and swapping it out.
what the hell are you talking about ?
isn't that payload should be an analogue of proprietary BIOS'es "boot menu" and such ?
like (core BIOS stuff)->(payload with minimal bootloader with boot order written on CMOS to boot system's main, external bootloader)->(system bootloader from external device)->(OS or chainbooted other bootloader like Windows crap) ?
grub or kernel on BIOS's shitty flash (i know you can do it with coreboot now, and other then for very specific situations - _this is not a good idea_)... what can go wrong, right ?
personally, i think that main OS and its /boot partition should be located at some flash drive like SSD in PCI slot, SD card in SD<->IDE/SATA adapter or something like that and not on HDDs/SSDs where you store your data and/or /home. but BIOS's flash is stretching this idea into nonsense unless, again, it's for something specific and non-desktop related.
BIOSes are extremely shitty.
I cannot stress this enough.
You know how you have to go through a bluescreen dialog and go up and down and press little configuration changes to configure your hardware.
You know how Linux has a hard time with ACPI configurations and getting hardware to suspend properly.
You know it takes something like a minute and a half for your system to boot up?
I've had to work with vendors and bios makers before, professionally. Their software sucks. It's really horrible and it's a afflicted on everybody that uses a PC. I cannot stress it enough just how bad BIOSes are designed and programed.
Coreboot can do everything a BIOS does if it is properly setup... but it does it very very quick. Probably quicker then it takes for your LCD display to boot up. Essentially by the time the display activates you should already be half-way done booting your system up.
On modern hardware it should take about 30 seconds, at most, from you hitting the power button to desktop login. Distro makers have really cut the fat out and made Linux boot fast. Now we just have to make the rest of the system as fast.
I noticed that I'm not the only one checking motherboard pictures to try to verify if the bios chip is soldered or not.
One other thing I as a customer would love when it comes to vendors using coreboot would be support.
I currently have an old desktop from DELL. Its motherboard supports many CPUs wrt chipset, socket and so on. But since DELL only sold it with one two kinds of CPU (first they only supported one kind of CPU, then they sold later models with the other CPU and a BIOS update, then they EOL that model). Now I got an old CPU from a friend. This CPU is supported by the chipset, it is supported by the sockets, the family is partly supported by the motherboard, but since DELL have not released a BIOS update the motherboard does not start with it.
There are a a reference card from intel (who made the motherboard to begin with) with some minor changes, and also another computer model from DELL which are nearly identical, both supporting the CPU in question. But I do not dare to cross-flash since I do not want to brick that computer, and that BIOS-version of DELL is stripped on any information that would make it possible to easy to mod.
Now if the vendor had used coreboot for this machine, the source code for a BIOS would already exist, and I would feel a bit less risky by flashing it since I could essentially just grab the revision the vendor based their "bios" on, update just those parts I think was needed (in this case replace some of the supported CPUs by others that never ever is going to be placed in that computer anyway), compile and reflash. And it would not feel as hacky and dangerous as the current way of modding those stripped versions of Phoenix-BIOS: hex-edit.
