Kurama. The Nine-Tails Fox. Like many things within Naruto, he is a crux himself, serving as both a main characters, motivation for the occurrence of events, and as a McGuffin due to the Akatsuki’s desired acquisition of him. Kurama is a bitter and hateful fox, but it was not always so. Life changed him.

Fun fact: There is an Anime character called Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho. Kurama started off as a spirit fox named Yoko. One day when Yoko was learning to steal arts and techniques, he was chased by spirit guards and was severely injured. Kurama used the last of his strength to escape into the living world and hide inside of a pregnant woman's belly. Then, Kurama was born. 🦊

This story highlights one thing about Naruto's development. Befriending Kurama as a young age allows him to grow exponentially. But in cannon thanks to the seal to hold Kurama back also limiting Naruto's chakra and Kurama still harboring hatred, Naruto had to fight with his hands tied behind his back for a long time.

What if Jiraya was inspired by Orochimarus curse mark and tries to make his own version. He even has the perfect ingridiant to base his curse mark off of, maybe, the oil from mount miobuku.

Kurama was neither manipulative nor patient enough to corrupt him (which is a real shame given the fact he's based around the Kitsune). But let's imagine that the Nine Tails was actually Azula. And like Pain, she managed to make enough sense through out his life. What would the end result be ?

Kuramas backstory is in my opinion the saddest of all in naruto.

You know what might make for an interesting scenario? Sasuke joining the Hidden Cloud after killing Itachi. Basically, after finding out the truth, he would be faced with the choice of rejoining Konoha, or trying to destroy it, but in this case, he picks a middle road. As in, he won't destroy what Itachi sacrificed himself for, but neither will be return to the place that caused Itachi so much pain. So instead, he chooses to more or less wash his hands of it, pretend to go along with Tobi to make sure he doesn't get disappeared until he has a chance to break away from him, and when Tobi sends him to capture Bee, he instead goes to Cloud, requests an audience with the Raikage, and gives him all the Intel he has on Akatsuki, and asks to join the Cloud Village to restart the Uchiha clan there.

[@DeusGamez]

kurama was actually watching over naruto the entire time, ever since he was a baby he was spiteful at first but he knew it was a necessity for both of their survival if he felt Naruto was in danger he'd leak out some of his chakra so to scare others away he also knew minato had purposely left a crack in the seal so that some of his chakra could be used. in a way Kurama was Naruto's silent guardian keeping a watchful eye on him he also empathized with naruto's situation the whole village hated him for no reason other than simply irrational fear an misunderstandings, something kurama had to deal with his whole life upon being released from Hagoromo the Sage of Six paths. sure kurama was full of hate but he never once wanted to hurt Naruto, him taking control during the Pain battle may have appeared malicious but in truth he was only trying to guarantee their survival an it was a desperate situation for them both had he not acted Nagato would have captured Kurama and killed naruto. people forget Kurama boxed with the Gold and Silver bro's an won lmao an those two were blood related to Asura or Indra

[@sp00kyg1rl]

Didn’t Kurama threaten to eat Naruto the first time they spoke in Naruto’s self conscious?

[@mdviIa]

this is just horribly wrong lmfao kurama despised that nigga naruto cus he was a weak ass. he only gave him chakra cus he knew otherwise his ass would get MERKED, the only reason kurama teamed up with naruto was cus he eventually got strong and kurama somewhat begun to empathize with him, but at the start and for a majority of the series, kurama just tried to manipulate naruto (e.g kurama trying to cheer up naruto so he'd release the seal and let kurama go on a murderous rampage) u r horribly wrong mate. i will never understand people who think that kurama liked naruto at the start of the series

I am not even studying the strength. I think Naruto unlocked Kurama's power at the right time.

Great final detail about sealing him in a new moon

[@AltarinTV]

Personally i think Naruto and Sasuke would have easilly won if they were was not nerfed in Boruto. And the only explanation as to why they were nerfed i can think of is that their fight against each other and added responsibilities on top of it, with no real threath to their powers made them weak and sloppy. They showed more power, strategy and ingeuity in their fight against each other in shippuden than against greatest foe since kaguya. And Especialy since in this version kaguya would not have been revived they could still recieve power of sage of six path in their fight against Ishiki since it was not used against Kaguya. Also also the only reason Naruto wanted to become Hokage to desperatly was to earn villagers recognition, since Noone would rocognize him. Its why he pranked so much, to earn at least some attentions. In this case Naruto would have Kurama, he would not really need villagers recognition. I feel like he would probably try to reconstruck Temple of Fire for Kurama to reside in once he dies or something like that. Becoming a paragon of balance like Kurama was before being sealed. Point is in either case it would all mean he would not become soft and weak and would defeat Ishiki easilly.
