00:00Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're counting down our picks for the scenes where Naruto
00:11characters obtain a new form or power.
00:15To be clear, we must see them acquiring it so power-ups gained off-screen won't qualify.
00:41You'd think someone as overpowered as Madara Uchiha wouldn't need a power-up at all.
00:47But when you plan to hypnotize the world with a giant eye on the moon, you gotta have that
00:51extra juice.
00:53After nearly killing Naruto, Sasuke, and most of the revived Hokage, Madara has the most
00:58casual yet epic transformation ever.
01:01As he strolls along, he effortlessly absorbs the enormous tentails to become its Jinchuriki.
01:08His hair turns white, his skin pales, and his fit somehow gets even cleaner.
01:13The staff and balls orbiting him certainly don't hurt either, only Madara could pull off a transformation
01:19with this much swagger.
01:299.
01:30Naruto's Six Paths Sage Mode
01:44Naruto and Sasuke may have been beaten initially by Madara, but they both make a comeback in
01:51style.
01:52The duo receives new abilities from the Sage of the Six Paths.
01:56And sure, Sasuke also gets a new power at the same time, but a different eye is much less
02:02dramatic.
02:03Naruto dab-kicks one of Madara's orbs away and revives Gai from certain death.
02:08And he throws in a few new Rasengan's for good measure.
02:24To top it all off, in addition to his own new eye design, Naruto also sports a new Chakra
02:31cloak outfit, Madara doesn't know what he's in for.
02:428.
02:43Obito's Ten-Tails Form
02:46Madara's Apprentice also takes a turn at being the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and he beats
02:59the elder Uchiha to it.
03:02Just when the allied shinobi forces think they've beaten Obito Uchiha, the misguided villain reveals
03:08he's not down for the count.
03:10As he lies bleeding at the fourth Hokage's feet, Obito absorbs the Ten-Tails.
03:15He shifts first into a kind of egg before hatching to reveal a sealed horned version of the
03:21Four Madara later perfects.
03:32While Obito may not have as much drip as the other Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, the transformation
03:37itself is far more involved.
03:397.
03:40Sasuke Obtains Susano
03:42Sasuke has less prominent transformations than his rival Naruto, but he still gets a few impressive
03:43ones.
03:44After being discovered during his attempt to infiltrate the Kage Summits, Sasuke is still
03:50Sasuke has less prominent transformations than his rival Naruto, but he still gets a
04:08few impressive ones.
04:09After being discovered during his attempt to infiltrate the Kage summits, Sasuke is
04:14attacked by the Raikage in revenge for the apparent death of his brother.
04:19The speedy muscular Kage delivers what seems to be a devastating powerbomb on the Uchiha,
04:31only for Sasuke to reveal his Mangekyou Sharingan.
04:35His newly acquired eyes have gifted him an incomplete form of Susanoo.
04:40The ghostly skeletal armor not only looks incredible and terrifying, it also helps Sasuke survive
04:46further devastating blows from the Raikage that would otherwise definitely be lethal.
04:53The real power of the Mangekyou that we have got to be able to control his Mangekyou.
05:03The third power of the Raikage, Sasuke!
05:06Number 6 – Naruto Goes Six and Eight Tails
05:19Seeing the girl who's gonna become your wife apparently killed in front of you is enough
05:23to make anyone lose it.
05:25But Naruto's rage brings out a new level of the nine-tail's chakra inside of him.
05:30His six-tail form is angry, red, and surrounded by a partial skeleton.
05:36Naruto uses this form to beat the crap out of Hinata's would-be killer, Pain, for most
05:41of the episode.
05:46However, even Pain forming a mini-moon around Naruto to crush him wasn't enough to stop
05:56his anger or transformations as he unleashes eight tails worth of chakra.
06:01We wouldn't blame Pain if he'd run away right then.
06:04It's not every day a giant skinless fox screams at you.
06:12Number 5 – Naruto Gets Tailed Beast Mode
06:22To say Naruto's relationship with the nine-tails has been contentious would be quite the understatement.
06:28However, Naruto is able to at last befriend the fox Kurama during a crucial moment on the
06:34battlefield.
06:35As he arrives in a flash, he deflects five massive attacks effortlessly and also debuts a transformation
06:42so cool, Kakashi mistakes Naruto for his father.
06:46But Naruto's glowing new getup isn't the end of this transformation.
07:00He follows it up by going into a full-on giant chakra fox form and duking it out with the other-tailed beasts.
07:07That's the power of teamwork.
07:13Number 4 – Barion Mode
07:15Even after he becomes Hokage, Naruto isn't done with gaining new powers.
07:31In the fight against Ishiki, Naruto is trapped.
07:35With no other option, he and Kurama agree on using a form of last resorts – Barion Mode.
07:41He then bursts out of his confines and touches down in front of Ishiki, saving his son and Sasuke
07:48from the villain and revealing his glorious new look.
08:01Sporting a deep red chakra cloak and looking more fox-like than ever, Naruto proceeds to drain
08:07the life force of his opponent by punching him.
08:10It's unfortunately a double-edged sword of a power-up, but that only makes Barion Mode
08:14even more memorable in its sole appearance.
08:18The first fight between Naruto and Sasuke sees both of them unleash every power they have
08:43against each other, while obtaining some new ones too.
08:47After Naruto is seemingly bested, the Ninetales decides to grant him more chakra than ever before.
08:53Naruto rises with the aid of the chakra, and after decking Sasuke in the face, he becomes
08:58enveloped in an orange cloak.
09:01His first tailed transformation forces him to move on all fours.
09:14It's also able to manifest many clawed arms made of chakra, which prove overwhelming for Sasuke.
09:20The transformation is a standout part of a fight that's already full of fantastic moments.
09:35Number 2 Naruto first uses the Ninetales chakra.
09:50You never forget your first power-up, and Naruto's initial transformation remains an iconic one.
09:56During he and Sasuke's fight against Haku, his rival is apparently killed by the rogue
10:01masked ninja.
10:03Naruto is already a hothead, but the death of his friend sends his rage skyrocketing, allowing
10:08him to access the chakra of the fox inside him for the first time.
10:21The orange aura coming off him, as well as Kakashi's fear upon feeling it, lend a sense
10:26of menace and dread that most of Naruto's other power awakenings can't equal.
10:33Number 1 Obito Awakens The Mangekyou Sharingan
10:401 Obito Awakens The Mangekyou Sharingan
10:47Tragedy hounds the life of Obito Uchiha and it's this particular moment that fuels the awakening
10:54of his most famous power.
10:55Obito's reunion with his friends Rin and Kakashi is cut short.
11:01along with Rin's life.
11:02Although Kakashi and Obito awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan as a result of Rin's death, Kakashi
11:08is cut short, along with Rin's life.
11:11Although Kakashi and Obito awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan as a result of Rin's death, Kakashi
11:16is cut short.
11:17Obito, meanwhile, decides to vent his grief at losing the girl he loves by slaughtering
11:24the missed ninja that were after Rin.
11:30Obito, meanwhile, decides to vent his grief at losing the girl he loves by slaughtering
11:36the missed ninja that were after Rin.
11:41Obito's new eyes allow him to phase through all their attacks and the ensuing battle is
11:58one of the darkest and most brutal fights in Naruto.
12:02However, that has only ensured that Obito will never forget it.
12:07I'm in hell.
12:14Alright, is there a Naruto power-up scene that we forgot?
