Board Thread:Theories and Speculation/@comment-25549954-20150524070831

I'm sure you guys have seen this new mode in Naruto Gaiden chapter #4, and I want to know what you guys think of this new mode. I wanted to clear things up a little bit so I made this thread because I don't want to add excessive detail on talkpage with theories and speculations. Just wanted to discuss: I have come to a conclusion and my opinion is that it is a combination of Naruto's Kurama Mode (KM) and Six Paths Sage Mode (SPSM), and I don't see why not. I'm just going based on appearance. This is what I think about new mode, Here is my comparison:
 * so here is the new mode image and by comparing with
 * Six Paths Sage Mode see image and
 * Kurama mode see image

"Six Paths Sage Mode": He has cross pupil and no orange markings around his eye when he is using senjutsu, the databook has shown him without cloak kicking the Truth-Seeking Ball and with cross pupil in his eyes without pigmentation with no glowing skin. It could be just this mode, but

It also looks like "Kurama mode":It has Kurama Mode designs- it has inverted colour scheme his orange shirt is black and the black linings are bright coloured, the circle also matches Kurama Mode, look at his Shoulder the circle there also looks like Kurama mode designs. Look at his hands and feet. We don't know if he is glowing or not because it is in black and white not coloured. When activates Sage Mode in Kurama Mode he has orange markings, and SPSM does not which is the only difference between Kurama mode and Six Paths Sage Mode in appearance without the cloak. I'm not ignoring the cloak so it can't be just one mode. To me it looks like Kurama mode with Six Paths Sage Mode effects.

I'm ignoring things like Truth-Seeking Ball of SPSM because they were lost in battle against Sasuke in the valley of the end and the fact that they can't be generated doesn't make them indicator. I'm also not including the horns to differentiate modes. Naruto doesn't have nine magatama and Rinnegan marking on his back and this has nothing to do with Six Paths sage Mode as databook didn't say anything about the cloak so only the eyes are considered.

The markings on his back, the last time he had, could be a seal just like Ten-Tail's Jinchuriki had Ten-Tails coffin seal and they had same 9 magatama representing nine tailed beasts sealed inside a jinchuriki. Obito sealed 3 tailed beast inside Naruto, so afterwards he had 6 + 3 = 9 magatama. Now I don't see other tailed beasts and I see only Kurama was in there but this doesn't exactly prove he doesn't have other tailed beasts, unlike the last time he now has both halves of Kurama. And this time the major influence on the cloak is Kurama so that is why I believe it looks like Kurama mode and Naruto has combined with Six Paths Sage Mode. Naruto can use normal sage mode with pigmentation and he can also choose to combine with Kurama mode without pigmentation because he has Six Paths chakra.

The thing I don't get is why people are considering it to be just one mode either Six Paths Sage Mode or Kurama Mode. Why can't it be both, a lot of people think SPSM is upgrade or higher form of KM, so this new mode should be either one form lower or higher and come to a conclusion that it has to be a higher form, because Sage gave him upgrade to make his pigment disappear!?. I think they are entirely different. What are your thoughts?
