How Sage Mode Naruto Got Stronger Than The Nine-Tails

Sage Mode Naruto got strongert than the Nine-Tails when Naruto faced it to acquire KCM. Naruto vs Nine Tails is somewhat overlooked in the Naruto series, but it's an extremely interesint fight. Sage Mode Naruto uses the Super Massive Rasegan Barrage, massive Rasenshurikens, and he manages to defeat Kurama with sheer power.

If we compare what Sage Mode Naruto and the Nine Tails did individually against Pain, it's clear that the Nine Tails was stronger than Naruto in that point of the story. So, how come Naruto beat the Nine Tails so completely here? Naruto finally met Kushina in thei part of the story, who helped him with the fight, and Bee and the Eight Tails also helped him out. However, Naruto still seemed way more powerful than he was in the Naruto vs Pain fight.

Is Sage Mode Naruto Multi-Continental?

[Avarn]

Sage Mode I always have a fondness for this form because that was when I found Naruto Shippuden at its peak. A power-up that made sense in supplementing Naruto's capabilities(also smartly utilizing Shadow clone development) and also very much fitting Naruto thematically as gaining more insight about the world/ being entrusted by Jiraiya's will. Also, I'm not going to lie; that red jacket was always badass and wished that Naruto could have had a variant of that as an adult.

I always thought Naruto wasn't literally fighting the Nine-Tails. The "fight" was taking place in his mind, and was just a visual representation of a mental struggle.

[Yali_iNinview]

1. He got experience while he fought pain
2. He trained between the pain fight and this fight
3. Kushina and bee helped him

[gabrieldesantanalacerda]

I think naruto absorbing his "hatred side" was one of the biggest power amps in the series. He became a much more mature ninja and understood better his capacities and limits through this fight. He became more efficient

[ugonnaaugustineenwereakuh]

There is a simple answer to the speculation. Naruto was sitting and absorbing nature energy so he had unlimited sage energy when battling the nine tail. Meanwhile against pain he had a limited amount of sage energy

Sage mode Naruto is the “peak” Naruto in my opinion... It barely change appearance-wise, but you can see the sage mode actually develops Naruto’s mind as well. I find post-sage Naruto started being more mature and not as reckless and stupid as before...

[MohamedRamadan-qihl]

Technically kushina helped him against the 9 talis

I feel like people overrate Naruto’s performance against the nine tails just because until then we’ve never seen anybody step up to the nine tails like that. He didn’t actually do any lasting damage, needed Bee to save him from a TBB that would’ve cooked him, in a fight in the real world he would’ve gotten washed AND he can enter Sage mode while moving because his physical body is still, that’s a lot of advantages and that he wouldn’t have Irl. Sage mode is also my favorite transformation of Naruto’s, too bad it got power cliffed

Naruto vs pain. Ichigo vs Byakuya/aizen/juha and Luffy vs kaido. Many times the anime community just forget how the fight went. If not for a last minute save from something else they would have died after that fight.

Heck same with Goku vs Vegeta. Vegeta wrecked Goku and if not for so much help from everyone left they would have lost. Those are the best reverse power creep moments where the enemy is just that powerful

Naruto fighting kurama could regen Infinite sage chakra, cause he wasnt really moving

[elhood]

His main body was sitting still giving him infinite sage chakra. He was not that strong with just sage mode even in the war arc

[Simple.Wordless]

Minato fought the entire 9 tails, while Naruto only fought half of it

[LokiTheClever]

Its a dream sequence notice he can instantly enter sage mode (something he couldn't do in the real world at the time). Everyone overlooks that it was in his mind hell even the 8 tails was nerfed because he was a 3rd party invading another mental space Naruto is stronger because its his own mind and its more their wills battling than their actual power

[FLsmack]

Two things, imagine how much Chakra Naruto is usually using to hold back the nine tails. When we're inside his astral projection, we get to see him use the entirety of his Chakra pool, not just his extra.
Six tails in the Pain fight is probably as strong as it is because Naruto is willingly assisting it to a degree. In every other instance, he's fighting against it but losing.
Thirdly, I bet getting the extra seal from his Dad, probably made Naruto's use of Chakra much more efficient because he didn't have to use as much to hold back the nine tails.

[AlessioTerzi]

This is true but there are also other factors that could be relevant:
Jinchurikis are stronger than their tailed beasts, meaning that Naruto with 8 tails could actually physically stronger than Kurama
Also Pain was fatigued at the end of the battle, meaning that the nine tails isn't necessarily stronger than him

[KingKevin]

Naruto is sitting in his own mindspace while being perpetually filled with Sage chakra. Of course he was omega-amped

[yovis]

I like Naruto but Kurama could’ve beat him but plot armor Kushina and Killer Bee help him to keep up with Kurama

[sultankulbassov]

Mind you, Minato defeated full Nine Tails with the rasengan, where as Naruto defeated only half
