During Part I the fox barely speaks, but its red chakra seeps out at moments of greatest tension. When Jiraiya pushes Naruto off a cliff, the boy goes down into his inner world and finds the beast behind an enormous gate; he wrests chakra from it by force to summon Gamabunta. At the Valley of the End, facing Sasuke, that power takes the form of a one-tailed cloak.

Against Orochimaru, Naruto goes from one to four tails, loses consciousness and wounds Sakura without recognizing her; Yamato has to suppress the power with his necklace. Shortly after, Sasuke enters Naruto's mind and suppresses the fox, which compares him to Madara Uchiha, a detail the story takes up much later. The most critical moment comes against Pain: Naruto reaches eight tails and is about to break the seal, until Minato's consciousness, stored there since the day of the attack, reinforces it and confirms he is his father.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-440","ep":"shippuden-168","pos":440},{"h":"The night of the attack","t":"Before the war, Naruto accepts his dark side and then confronts the fox at the falls to wrest its chakra from it. The beast's hatred is consuming him when Kushina appears and reveals that she was the previous jinchūriki. Her account tells of the night Naruto was born: a masked man takes the fox, which was only vulnerable during childbirth, and unleashes it on the village. Minato breaks that control and, while Kushina pins it with her chains, seals one half of the fox in himself and the other in his son. That split into two halves seems a technical detail, but it weighs again at the end of the war.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-504","ep":"shippuden-249","pos":504},{"h":"Kurama","t":"In the war, the fox hears Son Gokū demand to be called by its name and watches Naruto. When the boy seeks it out again, it no longer meets him as an enemy: it tells him its name is Kurama and offers him its power. With Tailed Beast Mode, Naruto transforms into the fox and faces the other beasts; inside them, Kurama remembers the Sage of Six Paths' prophecy. From then on they fight as a team. Kurama directs the strategy against the Ten-Tails and Naruto shares its chakra among all the Alliance's shinobi, who are protected by fox-shaped cloaks.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-616","ep":"shippuden-365","pos":616},{"h":"Two halves, nine names","t":"The yin half Minato carried sealed inside him also has a voice, and talks with him about the decision of that night. Father and son merge both halves to protect the Alliance. Later, Madara extracts Kurama from Naruto and leaves him at death's door; Minato tries to transfer his half to him, but Black Zetsu snatches it away. Naruto survives and, in a space between life and death, Hagoromo explains to him the origin of the nine beasts, who all appear before him. At the end of the story, Kurama is inside him again, no longer as a prisoner but as the Seventh Hokage's companion.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-671","ep":"shippuden-421","pos":671},{"h":"Baryon Mode and what came after","t":"In Boruto, Kurama talks with Kawaki and tells him that Naruto too was rejected as a child. Facing Isshiki Ōtsutsuki, it proposes a last resort to Naruto, Baryon Mode, which burns both their energies to create a new one. Thanks to that form Naruto overcomes Isshiki, but the cost is Kurama's life, and it says goodbye in his mind. Some time later, during Two Blue Vortex, Jura follows a tailed beast's chakra trail to Himawari and it is discovered that Kurama has been reborn inside her. Himawari uses that chakra to face Jura and, later, prepares her own Tailed Beast Bomb.","lvl":3,"ch":"tbv-30","pos":810}],"facts":[{"k":"Estado","v":"Alive","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-1","pos":1},{"k":"Estado","v":"Deceased","lvl":2,"ch":"boruto-55","ep":"boruto-218","pos":755},{"k":"Estado","v":"Reborn in Himawari","lvl":3,"ch":"tbv-9","pos":789},{"k":"Seiyū","v":"Tesshō Genda","lvl":0}],"techniques":[{"name":"One-tailed chakra cloak","kind":"modo","lvl":0,"article":"jinchuriki","ch":"naruto-230","ep":"naruto-133","kindLabel":"Modo","pos":230},{"name":"Tailed Beast Bomb","kind":"tecnica","lvl":1,"article":"bijuu","ch":"naruto-502","ep":"shippuden-248","kindLabel":"Técnica","pos":502},{"name":"Nine-Tails Chakra Mode","kind":"modo","lvl":1,"article":"kurama","ch":"naruto-505","ep":"shippuden-250","kindLabel":"Modo","pos":505},{"name":"Tailed Beast Mode","kind":"modo","lvl":1,"article":"kurama","ch":"naruto-571","ep":"shippuden-329","kindLabel":"Modo","pos":571},{"name":"Sharing chakra with the Alliance","kind":"tecnica","lvl":1,"article":"chakra","ch":"naruto-616","ep":"shippuden-365","kindLabel":"Técnica","pos":616},{"name":"Baryon Mode","kind":"modo","lvl":2,"article":"baryon","ch":"boruto-52","ep":"boruto-217","kindLabel":"Modo","pos":752}],"quote":{"t":"My name is Kurama.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-570","ep":"shippuden-329","pos":570},"debut":{"ch":"naruto-1","ep":"naruto-1"}},"jubi":{"intro":"The Ten-Tails plays a central role in the Divine Tree and the war's conflict.","history":"The Ten-Tails plays a central role in the Divine Tree and the war's conflict.

Madara had already told him the legend of the Sage of Six Paths and of the original beast. The creature awakens and its power proves impossible to measure: it returns the Tailed Beast Bombs of Naruto and his allies and, when the Alliance arrives in force, unleashes a rain of spheres that destroys headquarters.

Obito then seals the Ten-Tails in his own body and becomes its jinchūriki. He breaks the barrier the four Hokage had raised and Hashirama admits Obito surpasses him.

Naruto uses his contact with Obito to pull on the trapped beasts' chakra and, with the whole Alliance's help, tears them out of him. The freed tailed beasts thank him.

After Isshiki's fall, the Ten-Tails is left in the hands of Code, who shapes it into smaller creatures, the Claw Grime, able to travel through his marks.
