{"id":"baryon","name":"Baryon Mode","japanese":"忍","category":"techniques","subtitle":"Origin, how it works and limits.","summary":"An exceptional transformation of Naruto and Kurama.","facts":[["Procedencia","Boruto · Manga"],["Alcance","Original summary, not a universal repertoire"]],"lvl":2,"sections":[{"h":"A fusion that burns","t":"Baryon Mode is Naruto and Kurama's last card against Isshiki. Kurama explains that it works like a fusion: it joins both their chakra and burns it to create a new, far stronger energy. With that power, Naruto outdoes Isshiki blow for blow. Every contact also drains the opponent's life: the wear is not only physical. For Isshiki, who had dominated the fight until then, the shift is sudden.","lvl":2,"ch":"boruto-52","ep":"boruto-217","pos":752},{"h":"The mode's limits","t":"It is not a mode to use without thinking. Movements have to be precise, because the power burns out fast, and Kurama warns that the cost may be Naruto's life. Isshiki, who already had little time, runs out of life and dies before he can be reborn in Kawaki. The mode is also short-lived: if Naruto does not finish quickly, the wear turns against him, and Isshiki tries to avoid direct contact because every hit steals his time.","lvl":2,"ch":"boruto-53","pos":753},{"h":"The real price","t":"When the fight ends, Kurama reveals that the cost did not fall on Naruto but on him: Baryon Mode cost him his life, and he says goodbye inside Naruto's mind. That is why it is not a permanent transformation and cannot be repeated: without Kurama, Naruto loses that power. Naruto is left badly weakened and, from then on, fights with his own chakra alone. Losing Kurama completely changes his standing as the village's strongest ninja.","lvl":2,"ch":"boruto-55","ep":"boruto-218","pos":755},{"h":"Kurama in Himawari","t":"In Two Blue Vortex, Kurama is reborn inside Himawari and, at a critical moment, she unleashes its chakra all at once. The beast now living inside her does not mean Himawari inherits Baryon Mode: that mode was a specific union between Naruto and Kurama. What appears in her is the beast, not the technique: Himawari has to learn to handle that chakra on her own, without the experience her father had.","lvl":3,"ch":"tbv-10","pos":790}],"characters":["naruto","kurama-biju","isshiki"],"related":["chakra"],"reference":"Reading guide for the series indicated.
