Instead, he forms a transparent cloak in the size of the Bijuu, but doesn't
get a full form like other Jinchuuriki. Even when fighting Pain , he went up
to the 8th tail and got Kurama's real body in a sort of skinned form.

Why can't Naruto go into Bijuu mode like the other Jinchuuriki?


I think you want to know why he don't look like the fox that attacked on
konoha while lord 3rd and 4th fought him or etc. One answer for your question
can be, kurama was never fully inside naruto's body. If you remember correctly
half chakra of kurama was inside minato which he revealed in _great ninja war_
(the yin half). This can be reason for naruto to never go in full bijuu form
or to obtain a real physical body but just a cloak of chakra. Another reason i
can say that kyubi is strongest of all other beasts and his owner naruto is
main character . So just to differentiate the power levels and keep main
character and his beast separate from general crowd kishimoto might designed
him to look that way only. :P hope this helps!

The answer is he can but chooses not to, instead he uses the six path sage
mode which is the chakra coat and everything. in the movie Naruto the last,
you can see that he summoned kurama to fight and draw symbols on the moon,
this shows he can use kurama whenever he feels.

the direct quote from naruto wikia

Six Paths Sage Mode (六道仙人モード, Rikudō Sennin Mōdo) is a form which empowers the
user's abilities to a far greater extent by utilising the Six Paths Sage
Chakra. It is a divine state gifted by Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki to those who have an
iron faith and the guts to never give up.the one consistent hallmark of Six
Paths Sage Mode are Naruto's eyes: his eyes are yellow, his pupils are a cross
of vertical fox-slits with horizontal toad-slats, and there is no pigmentation
around his eyes that would otherwise signify standard Sage Mode. Naruto
retains the ability to enter Tailed Beast Mode, which, in terms of strength,
is comparable to Sasuke Uchiha's Complete Body — Susanoo, thanks to Six Paths
Sage Chakra. Through the use of shadow clones, Naruto has shown the ability to
combine three Kurama avatars into a single construct with three faces and six
arms, which greatly resembles his ancestor Asura Ōtsutsuki's own chakra
avatar.

Hope this helps

He can't, possibly because only half of Kurama, the Yang half, was sealed
inside of his body. The other half of Kurama, the Yin half, was sealed inside
of Minato.

However, in the battle against Madara Uchiha and the Ten-Tails, he ALMOST made
it to full Bijuu mode.

**He can go to the bijuu mode.** Just take a look at this screenshot from
episode 392 (The Hidden Heart):

[![enter image description

However, cloak mode is a lot more convenient if you want to dodge attacks, go
inside a cave, or do delicate tasks.

There have been a lot of incomplete answers. Let us try to combine what all we
know. This will be spoiler heavy for those who haven't finished the
Manga/Anime

**TL;DR. When he first used Nine Tales Chakra he COULDN'T go into Bijuu mode.
He could once Kurama agreed to work together.**

  * Naruto is the jinchūriki of Kurama's Yang half. Due to his Uzumaki lineage and being Kurama's jinchūriki his entire life, Naruto's chakra has more effectively mixed with the fox's, allowing him to perform several chakra-taxing techniques without feeling fatigued. 
  * While accessing Kurama's chakra, typically through sheer rage, enhanced Naruto's fighting abilities, the fox's negative influence made Naruto more aggressive and in less control of his actions. This caused him to uncontrollably access Version 1(Tails 1-3 for Naruto) and Version 2 (Tails 4-8 for Naruto) for forms, and needed Kurama's power to be suppressed through various methods to regain control

> **Version 1 – or what Jiraiya calls Naruto's "demon fox cloak"** (妖狐の衣, yōko
> no koromo) – forms a dense shroud of chakra around the jinchūriki. The
> shroud, a translucent red with bubbles of chakra (reminiscent of boiling
> liquid) forming all along it, provides a degree of physical protection, but
> can also harm the user if used to a certain extent. The physical changes

>  **Version 2 (バージョン2, Bājon Tsū)** , as described by Sabu, is the tailed

> jinchūriki an edge in battle without completely releasing the beast itself.
> Using the jinchūriki's body as a sort of endoskeleton, a dark red, nearly

  * Realising he could not avoid using Kurama's power, Naruto sought to learn how to control it with help from Killer B, the jinchūriki of Gyūki, and unexpectedly, his own mother, Kushina. Upon succeeding and taking most of Kurama's chakra, Naruto attains **Nine-Tails Chakra Mode** , which greatly increases his speed, strength, and defences. Because he didn't yet have Kurama's cooperation, however, Naruto needed to exercise extreme caution while using the form, as it could cost him his life. **He can't do the Bijuu Transformation at this point**

  * After earning Kurama's cooperation, Naruto can enter the Tailed Beast Mode, but the mode, though accurate in size, is unique as he does not as closely resemble the beast as the other jinchūriki do their own. For all intents and purposes, **Kurama Mode** is a completed version of Nine-Tails Chakra Mode: Tailed Beast Mode without the full transformation, meaning that Naruto is able to use Tailed Beast Balls

  * With the power given to him by Hagoromo, Naruto gained access to the **Six Paths Sage Mode (六道仙人モード, Rikudō Sennin Mōdo)**. In this mode, his eyes become yellow and his pupils take on a cross-like shape — without manifesting the orange pigmentation around his eyes present in Sage Mode. Naruto can also don a new chakra cloak similar to Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, which he can access instantly and maintain much longer than Sage Mode. Naruto's Six Paths Sage Mode cloak changes several times throughout his later years

  * We see Naruto's Bijuu ability multiple times throughout Boruto movie. He protect the village by stopping the Bijuu Dama kind of attack. Later he and Sasuke combine Kurama mode with Susanoo.

**Now to answer the completely DIFFERENT and Duplicate question. From Reading
the comments.** \- [Why do Kurama and Gyuki appear as chakra while other bijuu
don't?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/3314/why-do-kurama-and-
gyuki-appear-as-chakra-while-other-bijuu-dont)  
\- Another theory is that Naruto's special seal devised by the 4th Hokage
causes this. He used the Uzumaki techniques to create the seal. This is why he
also appears in a similar Bijuu form as Naruto. **Thus, this is a host
specific form and NOT Jinchuriki specific**. And yeah, Naruto is special.

Either way, I don't believe yin or yang have anything to do with a full on
physical transformation for Kurama. Yes in two movies Naruto DID do a full on
transformation into physical nine tails form but then again they are movies
and really don't fill into the show since the show itself never brings up
things that happen in movies or retain what they learn from them.

Back to the point! Naruto/Kurama have gone physical nine tail form in the Pain
fight when Naruto was stuck in planetary devastation, as you see in Yamato's
hand during that part Naruto was in stage nine. Even with just Yang side of
Kurama and also without sage of six paths mode. Basically we only see full on
physical nine tails Kurama (just skinned) ONCE in the whole series but never
again. Still nothing explains on why Naruto can't just go physical nine tails
mode again like the other jinchuuriki could or why he uses a chakra based form
instead.

It's probably because half of the 9 tails is in minato. Anyhow in the last
movie naruto used the power of the nine tails completely instead of using a
chakra cloak. That may be because either he took the other half or just
because the movie was a non canon. The other answer can be that naruto can go
to either mode whenever he wants to. Hope this helps :)

I believe it's because Naruto only has half of Kuramas chakara, Miniato
couldn't do it as well, unlike the rest of the Jinchuurikis they carry both
halves of the Jinchuuriki and it's chakara therefore they can transform into
jinchuuriki itself and not a cloak.
