Naruto (Nine-tailed Fox Look) - Naruto Basic ~4" Figure
from: Mattel
As the container of the demon fox, Naruto has access to its great strength. Prior to learning of the fox's presence within him the only utilization of its abilities are his rapid recovery from injuries and fatigue, though Naruto never considers this odd. Once learning of the fox Naruto begins making better usage of its advantages, specifically by performing jutsu that someone of his skill and rank would ordinarily be incapable of using. To do so, Naruto must tap into the fox's reserves. He can submit to rage, allowing the fox's power and violent personality to leak out and influence him. Conversely he can enter his own subconscious, meet with the fox, and ask (or demand) for a donation of its strength. As time has gone by and the seal keeping the fox within him has weakened, Naruto has gained additional access to the fox's power. As he draws upon more and more of the fox's strength the fox begins to manifest itself through a fox-shaped shroud that surrounds Naruto. The level of strength Naruto is tapping into is indicated by a number tails that appear with this shroud. For the first three tails Naruto can maintain control over his mind. At the fourth, Naruto loses all sense of self and the fox takes over, readily attacking friend and foe alike. Though Naruto can prove an equal match for the likes of Orochimaru at this level, the danger he poses to those he cares for has caused him to limit his own usage of the fox's power. New Price: $19.99
