merge
Should we merge this and Gedo Statue articles or better to wait for the next chapter for more info?--Elveonora (talk) 17:03, July 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * I vote for the latter. Too many unknowns to do that and even if, they're two separate things. The statue just seems like a body for the Ten-Tails to inhibit, not its actual body which was sealed into the moon.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 17:20, July 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Definitely wait. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:24, July 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think we should wait because theoretically the Ten-tails was firstly closed inside the Moon, which was a chibaku tensei of the Rikodou, so it is not sure if the Gedo Mazou is really some sort of container/invocating statue or not. Actually I'm not even sure on how will the ten-tails let Tobi go on with his plans and how will the statue affect on that. So I think they shouldn't be merged even knowing it, because maybe they're different things. Template loop detected: User:Khaliszt/sig subst

Doesn't make much sense, Gedo Statue + chakra of all beasts = Ten-Tails, thus it must be it's body.--Elveonora (talk) 17:26, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

Confirmed. Gedo mazo is the ten tails body. Merge. MangekyoSasuke (talk) 17:28, October 17, 2012 (UTC)

^ Yes, because Madara said the Rinnegan enabled him to break the seal of the Sage that held the Ten-tails's body in it.

In Chapter 610 page 6, Madara refers to the Ten-Tails as "Mazo"... Does this not confirm that the Gedo Mazo is the Ten-Tails after all... Merger time?...--D!ABLO-32 (talk) 13:42, November 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Still against it. This chapter also gave the Ten-Tails a characteristic the statue was never mentioned to have, being like a force of nature, and as such being sensable by Sage Mode. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:13, November 21, 2012 (UTC)

its just words swaying madara says chakra of the mazo, obito says power of the juubi, meh. or btw elvenora its just all bijuu chakra, the juubi is the fusion of all tailed beasts not body, it can go from body to body chris brown yeahaaa.--Manga-anime90001 (talk) 10:47, November 21, 2012 (UTC)

New Image
Excuse me...Members of the Wiki, I am a Naruto fan that likes to be surfing in this Wiki, I just checked the new Naruto chapter that debuted today, where Kurama explained to everyone what he knew about the Ten-Tails, and while he was doing it, a new image of the Ten-Tails was seen, even if it was only its back, the Ten-Tails looked kinda different, with more spiky protusions on its back and on its tails. Shouldn't this be added to the Appearence part of his page?
 * Let's see Khaliszt (talk)

On your point if you are talking about the appearance in the manga no I don't think the image should change because as it says and shows that is its incomplete form, it only shows with 6-9 tomeo and that it has no legs, wait until the next chapter as it appears it's form is changing. --Elvesyou 16:36, December 8, 2012 (UTC)

Datara
I saw User:Cerez365 added son info on the other Jübi name, Datara. But I create this page to discuss it because referring to the source he used, it had only one leg, and we can see the Ten-Tails has more than one.. Anyway I just want to discuss why this would be like that, and NOT the fact that it was corrected to Datara, I think Cerez365 searched and took an extremely accurate source, even taking to consider the "blacksmithing" thing, it's been said that the Ten-tails created many things so it wouldn't be surprising! My guess is simply that a Beast with only one leg is much more unsurprising that such of a Beast like Ten Tails.. and Kishimoto knows that, lol Khaliszt (talk)

Tailed beasts
Should we go on treating them as "it"? Kurama wouldn't be happy about it.. Khaliszt (talk)
 * They've never been referred to with gender-specific pronouns in Japanese. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:05, July 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Really? Didn't know! sorry then, I didn't say anything then ^^ Khaliszt (talk)

classification
I don't think we should treat it as a Tailed Beasts, as they were created by So6p from it's chakra... it's more of a God/demon if anything. Even though it was sealed in the grandpa Rikudou, Tailed Beasts are just a mass of living chakra (physical and spiritual energy given soul/consciousness) while the Ten-Tail's chakra got ripped and it's body remained and it had to be sealed in the moon. Not to mention it's highly likely that Gedo Statue Guy is "it" thus that goes against the definition of a Tailed Beasts (being chakra monster) while the Ten-Tails was "the progenitor"--Elveonora (talk) 11:29, August 25, 2012 (UTC)

Species (infobox)
Should we list it as a demon? -- The Goblin  17:36, September 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't classifying it/ the tailed beasts as demons inaccurate o.O?--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 17:48, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

I don't this we should even list it as a "tailed beast" because see above... I'm for a "deity" or something--Elveonora (talk) 22:41, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

Chapter 510
This is the best scan I could find of chapter 510, and the eye seems to be missing the tomoes for me.

Fox616 (talk) 16:46, September 27, 2012 (UTC)

"the progenitor"
Shouldn't we include such title in it's infobox?--Elveonora (talk) 00:02, November 16, 2012 (UTC)

'Progenitor' means an ancestor in the direct line. The tailed beasts, and the sage were implying this to naruto, kurama thought back on.

bump lol, even the chapter is called as such--Elveonora (talk) 19:32, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

Question
Why is it that the silhouette of the Ten-Tails still being used? The only thing possibly wrong was the missing set of tomoe but in chapter 606, when Madara sent Obito into a genjutsu to explain his plan, when Madara depicted the Ten-Tails carving it was shown with only 2 rows of tomoe. Kishi could have changed the design, he has done so with other things. 75.238.191.98 (talk) 11:50, November 18, 2012 (UTC) Bump75.234.7.254 (talk) 01:35, November 19, 2012 (UTC)

You are indeed correct--Elveonora (talk) 02:48, November 19, 2012 (UTC)

I wouldn't jump to that answer. The mural in 606 only really shows the face and is frightfully inadequate being a mural of the creature with the sage in it. If anything the image at the end of 609 is better, but given we're likely to get an even better picture of it next week, I think the higher ups basically decided it was pointless to swap it out when a better image was right around the corner and chose wait it out. If for some reason we don't get a new picture, we'll likely swap it out for the full body shot in 609. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 03:24, November 19, 2012 (UTC)

I think the main point is that the eye appears to have been retconned.--Elveonora (talk) 03:28, November 19, 2012 (UTC)

True, but the question was, why are we still using the silhouette image. Simple answer, even if retconned a mural picture doesn't cut it and timing allows for us to get a better shot come the small hours of Wednesday morning. So all we need to resolve that matter is a little patience. But if it's that big a deal, trivia about the seeming retcon can be added to trivia, right? --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 03:34, November 19, 2012 (UTC)

What retcon is everybody talking about regarding the eye? So it's missing a ring and three tomoe, it makes sense, considering that the Ten-Tails is technically incomplete. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:45, November 19, 2012 (UTC)

It has such eye in chapter 606 as well on the "wall" --Elveonora (talk) 20:48, November 19, 2012 (UTC)

As of the latest chapter, when i look at the Jūbi's eye it look like a mix of a Sharingan and Rinnegan--Tchad1 (talk) 13:24, November 20, 2012 (UTC)

We should update the image now. Any good ones from the latest chapter? --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 18:30, November 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * In my opinion, there are none. Every picture of the Ten-Tails has just been awful.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 19:02, November 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hell the best picture of it is when it roars, and that is still terrible.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 19:03, November 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * I wish it had remained a silhouette. That thing looks like Hooleer from Bleach with a cave in its mouth. Don't even get me started on the eye e_e --Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 19:15, November 20, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm not a fan of it's appearance myself, but given we can't dictate the will of Kishi, just gotta get on with it. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 19:19, November 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * I think the latest chapter gave us enough good images. Derigar (talk) 19:36, November 20, 2012 (UTC)

The reason why the tentails is "awfully displayed is becaused it is fully formed due to not having the 8 tails and nine tails sealed in the gedo mazou before hand. --Naruto6paths (talk) 19:53, November 20, 2012 (UTC)

Okay, I never expected my one question to get this much response, but I want to add that I dont agree with the last post. I think the Ten-Tails appearance has been retconned, the two sihlouette used for this page don't exactly match how Kurama explained the Ten-Tails to Naruto. The two images were from times that Obito talked about the Ten-Tails, which were from a couple years ago. Kurama is more reliable to its appearance than Obito because Kurama is a part of the Ten-Tails. Also the two remaining biju regonise it as the Ten-Tails, I would expect them to say something if it looked different. Also the mural from chapter 606 depicted it with how it looks like now in chapter 610. I can expect that the higher ups and some others to not agree on this, but keep an open mind because we might have a new flashback in upcoming chapters depicting the complete Ten-Tails with all its details because Kishi has no reason to shade it all anymore.--67.142.164.25 (talk) 09:31, November 21, 2012 (UTC)

This is naruto 6 paths speaking, the 10 tails from what you saw there is an incomplete ten-tails. You can say its like an incomplete sharingan it hasn't been completed to its potential. --90.145.61.214 (talk) 14:10, November 21, 2012 (UTC)

But both the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails both say that is the Ten-Tails. I find it hard to believe that they wouldn't say anything if it changed as much as this wiki says. But it doesn't change the fact that its appearance has changed a significantly from the silhouette from a couple years ago.--67.142.164.20 (talk) 03:47, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

Maybe it can take on more forms, but I'm sure the eye is a retcon, unless it's an error in chapter 606--Elveonora (talk) 04:01, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

I agree with the eye being a retcon, also the spikey protrustions on its back.--67.142.164.20 (talk) 04:13, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

Plant-like Appearance
Ok, it's pretty obvious the Ten-Tails has a plant-like look. It's body is covered by veins, its tails look like closed buds (and in its complete form those ones looks like foliage) and it has branch-like spiky protrusions on its back (well, the Mazou also have them, but you get the idea) I think it's worthy to add that to the Appearance section. Adept-eX (talk) 02:05, November 21, 2012 (UTC)

It's kinda plantish, it's skin is wooden--Elveonora (talk) 02:36, November 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's skin is what? I highly doubt that beast's body has the same construct as the statue. It looks like it has flesh. Also, I'd assume you're saying it looks plant-like simply because of the lines on its body, which I don't see.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 07:21, November 21, 2012 (UTC)

Even those things connected to Obito and Madara are the same as from Hashi clone/Gedo statue so I guess it still has woodish/plantish texture--Elveonora (talk) 22:23, November 21, 2012 (UTC)

Didn't a ton of people guess the Gedo Mazo's statue was made of wood? I suggest holding off until it's texture is made clearly visible by the anime or a colored manga page. Skarrj (talk) 10:08, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

Looking at the way the tail is unfurling at the end of the latest chapter, this theory may officially have weight. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 20:12, December 5, 2012 (UTC)

Connectors
Ok... So Madara and Tobi both physically connect with the Ten-Tails, giving them the ability to control it. This ability to connect is mentioned on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's page, though not here. Skarrj (talk) 10:12, November 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Because the aforementioned connection was with the living clone, not directly with the statue. We're all unclear what's going on there.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 10:31, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

Natural Energy
In the mangastream translation, naruto says its essentially a giant mass of natural energy. Can someone please translate to see if this is accurate? If so, it should be added to the abilities/trivia section. MangekyoSasuke (talk) 00:53, November 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Raws aren't available yet, at least not where I usually read them. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 02:05, November 23, 2012 (UTC)

Current Appearance
I think the Ten-Tails still has a chance of maturing based on Madara saying controlling it will get more difficult. I understand that as its getting stronger and has a chance to mature more. The thing took one step closer to looking like its sihlouette but then two steps back because it grew weird horn things on its head, its missing a arm and is emaciated. As I type its current appearance at the time is being used to showcase its real appearance and would like it to be changed back to its old appearance.--67.142.164.26 (talk) 07:29, December 12, 2012 (UTC)

It likely has multiple forms and no "true form" as it changes constantly. EDIT: it's said to be a force of nature, maybe it's some sort of adaptation--Elveonora (talk) 13:54, December 12, 2012 (UTC)

eye retcon again
The article says that the Ten-Tails has 6 tomoe instead of 9 cause it's incomplete, completely ignoring the fact that it also had such in Madara's "flashback dimension" and it's present even after it's transformation. It's apparent that Kishi changed his mind about this one--Elveonora (talk) 14:13, December 12, 2012 (UTC)

bump--Elveonora (talk) 23:36, December 14, 2012 (UTC)

Still makes more sense, and in all of the actual flashback depictions, it had nine tomoe. The Ten-Tails in that genjutsu looked as faithful to the original as the murals of Matatabi and Gyūki look to them in the Island Turtle, which isn't that much, just enough for us to know what it was. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:04, December 15, 2012 (UTC)

We don't know either way, that's why I think the whole mention of "having 6 tomoe due to being incomplete" should be removed, and a trivia made instead with: "in it's initial appearance it had 9 tomoe words words words but since words words words it's portrayed with 6" so it's true both ways and everyone can make their own opinion of it--Elveonora (talk) 00:15, December 15, 2012 (UTC)

Just pointing out, not only it has 6 tomoe in Madara's mural, but also in manga's "creation of all things" image, there's 6 tomoe as well, so the thing "due to being incomplete" should be removed--Elveonora (talk) 21:26, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

Maturity
In chapter 612 on the last page in the last panel, there's no word about maturity or perfect stage. It says something about suitable/good time (頃合い), but I don't know what the よう means. :/ Seelentau 愛議 19:16, December 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Take your pick. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:56, December 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * I know, but I don't know which it could be, there are too many options :/ But I doubt the meaning of it would change the meaning of the whole sentence to something along maturity... Seelentau 愛議 21:37, December 12, 2012 (UTC)

よう simply means it seems. So there's no word about maturity or such, Madara/Obito just says that "the Jūbi seems to be just right". :) Seelentau 愛議 04:53, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

Incomplete Mature form
FYI, the Ten-Tails' mature form is still incomplete. I bet that it will be fully complete on maybe the final arc.

--Pipeliz265 (talk) 21:13, December 12, 2012 (UTC) Pipeliz265

How is its eye being used to target speculation?
We specifically see it on 613, page 6, shift its eye around and began targeting, trying to hit HQ. How else were we supposed to interpret that scene other than the very obvious?--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 09:13, December 14, 2012 (UTC)

Unless it's blind, an eye can see lol--Elveonora (talk) 23:36, December 14, 2012 (UTC)

Chapter 613 - The scale of the Juubi's latest Bijuudama
I think you're going to want to mention the scale of the bijuudamas this new Juubi form is producing.

If you look carefully at the double page where the first Bijuudama is fired you'll notice the five lakes from the first bijuudamas from the junchuuriki. Also you'll notice a long trail with the Juubi in it which I believe was created by the Hachibi and Kyuubi's combined bijuudama.

However the Bijuudama in the background is unreal in how large it is when you compare it to the old bijuudamas.

I'm not sure how you would but this'd be a really good thing to show in the abilities section of the Juubi's page as a comparison. 86.133.99.27 (talk) 22:46, December 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * The long trail was probably due to the immature form's Bijuudama beam...--JOA20 (talk) 15:51, December 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * Would't that be a ark? the idea that it's from Kurama's and Gyūki's combined Bijuudama makes more sense to me.(2.99.224.76 (talk) 14:35, February 15, 2013 (UTC))

Mokuton/Wood Release
In chapter 614, it can be seen that Obito is using the Ten-Tails' body as a medium to throw the Wood Piercing Branches. I suggest we shouldn't put it like the beast can use Wood Release, but instead it can launch the techniques created by its controller.--JOA20 (talk) 15:54, December 18, 2012 (UTC)

It should be listed as a user of the technique but having hit as a pure user of wood release would be complicated to explain. --Naruto6paths (talk) 16:49, December 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ergo why it shouldn't be listed because it wasn't the one using it.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 16:52, December 18, 2012 (UTC)

I don't think soo...usually chanelling chakra is done from a user to an object, not a living being, and its usually just the chakra, not the entire technique...and we know that tailed beasts can use/have nature transformations. Besides Obito could have only been directing the beast to attack. Son Goku/Lava Release for one? So i do believe that it could use the Wood Release...it would also partially explain the origin of it and how it went to Hashirama. Darksusanoo (talk) 16:54, December 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * Do note; until Naruto took control of the Nine-Tails, he was never listed as using the Tailed Beast Ball as someone else (the Nine-Tails) was in control of his body. It would not be beyond the realm of reason to believe the same is happening now.
 * That being said, it is entirely possible the Ten-Tails could use Wood Release, but until the beast starts moving on it's own, I honestly can't say.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 17:15, December 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * This is making the issue more complicated thann it should be. The Jūbi is the one that used the technique, and as such it can use Wood release. Until we get further explanation, we should list every single fact. Derigar (talk) 17:22, December 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * And I repeat, when Naruto used the Tailed Beast Ball during the Invasion of Pain, he wasn't listed as a user because, he didn't actually use it. Same deal here to be honest but discuss away.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 17:24, December 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * The difference is: Naruto is a jinchuriki...the nine-tails is sealed inside him in a way that Naruto can channel the beast's powers. With the Ten-Tails this is not the case, it isn't sealed into anyone it used it on his own...i think the problem is that he used the same technique as Obito. Plus it's true, were complicating the issue too much. The Ten-Tails used the technique, he can use it, then list him. Anything other than that.... that will be speculation. Darksusanoo (talk) 17:30, December 18, 2012 (UTC)

Anything other than that would be speculation? Alrighty, let's list Yahiko as a user of Shinra Tensei then. After all, his body performed the technique, even if he was just Nagato's little Rinnegan Puppet, right? The flaw in your argument here is that we're given a vague proposition. We have the Ten Tails launching a wood release technique. The problem is, its being controlled by Obito and only used a technique he has. Now I don't have a position on this, it's honestly up in the air for me to call, but let's not dissuade others opinions as speculation. It's fact that the Ten Tails performed the technique, but that's like saying just cause Gaara uses Shukaku''s sand its the beast's ability and not his. The Beast could be no more than facilitating this ability, not being an actual user. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 19:15, December 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * And the flaws in your arguments are thus...first Yahiko was dead when he was made a Six Paths of Pain puppet. The modifications to him were done post-mortem. And the difference is neither Obito nor Madara are the beast's jinchuriki by which neither can use the beast's techniques and vice-versa. Gaara retained his ability to use sand, but he only gained it by being Shukaku's jinchuriki. This is like saying that Son Goku's Flower Fruit Mountain technique is not his own...it could have been something developed by Roshi, but again we don't know. If someone uses a technique, list them as a user and unless contradictory evidence appears, let it stay. Darksusanoo (talk) 20:11, December 18, 2012 (UTC)

So now i ask...when have ever seen a situation like this? A technique being channeled through another living being? What's the point? Why not use it himself? I also ask what's more speculative? That the beast can use Mokuton or that Obito pulled off a completely new concept? Besides Obito and Madara mentioned they were taking a back seat to use the beast's powers soo...Darksusanoo (talk) 23:15, December 18, 2012 (UTC)

Since Ten-Tails is flowrish/treeish, I say it's possible for it to be the source of Wood Release (along with Sharingan and Rinnegan) but that's just my mumbling :) On topic, I say we should add Ten-Tails as a user, because not adding it is the same logic as removing Tailed Beast Ball from it's infobox since it's being controlled and not using it by itself--Elveonora (talk) 23:18, December 18, 2012 (UTC)

Safer and most logical approach to me, for now, is to keep Obito as the technique's only user, and say he used it through the Ten-Tails. He even did a hand gesture and all, as if performing the motion of the technique. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 02:27, December 19, 2012 (UTC)

What about a collaborative technique "large fast spikes wood no jutsu, obito uchiha with ten-tails" or something?;)--Elveonora (talk) 02:52, December 19, 2012 (UTC)

"Sigh"...it was the Ten-Tails who used the technique...i don't remember chakra flow working through living beings and neither saw one technique being used through another being as well. Darksusanoo (talk) 03:01, December 19, 2012 (UTC)

That's why I'm saying we should treat it as been done by both of them to avoid speculation. Also I doubt Obito is THAT strong, he either used Ten-Tails' chakra (but he ain't a jinchuriky so how?) thus unlikely, channeled Wood Release through Ten-Tails (this still makes the Ten-Tails a user) or it was work of the monster alone with Obito just giving order, you decide--Elveonora (talk) 03:07, December 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * The more direct and simple explanation is that Obito commanded the beast to use the technique, since that's pretty much what he's focused on...i doubt he'd waste his own chakra into a technique since both Uchiha are struggling a bit to control the juubi as it is so they are pretty much focused on that. Darksusanoo (talk) 03:11, December 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Two things
 * 1) People appear to be gleefully ignoring my point that if something isn't in control of it's actions, it doesn't get listed as using it. I will remind people again, Naruto didn't get Tailed Beast Ball added to his infobox, until he got Tailed Beast Mode and did it then. Tobi focusing a jutsu through the Ten-Tails is the same as the Nine-Tails focusing the Tailed Beast Ball through Naruto.
 * 2) Someone made the point to remove the Tailed Beast Ball from the Ten-Tails because Obito and Madara had made the demon do it. Unlike the above, the Tailed Beast Ball is literally the demon attack. Even if Madara and Obito never fired a shot, it would be listed because all tailed beasts have it.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 05:28, December 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * And you seem to forget the difference between Naruto and Madara/Tobi is that the first is a jinchuriki in other words the beast and it's powers are sealed and can be channeled because of it. The latter ones are just controling the monster. It's like the difference between driving a machine and becoming the machine itself. Another thing...yeah Obito's powerful, but to pull off a Wood Release of that scale given the difficulty to use this kekkei genkai it seems difficult at best when they are already struggling to keep the Ten-Tails under control seems off. Darksusanoo (talk) 19:38, December 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Since the ten tails is the maifestation of almost everything, it should be able to use every nature, even ying and yang release and everything else. 94.135.247.44 (talk) 19:41, December 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * If chakra isn't able to be transfered into living beings then why was Tsunade and several others able to transfer chakra to other poeple (sarcasim)?71.71.58.231 (talk) 00:25, December 20, 2012 (UTC) Yhwach
 * One thing is using chakra to heal/replenish another person, the other is using another person as a medium for one's own technique which seems as a much more far-fetched concept than the Ten-Tails being able to use the Wood Release on his own. Darksusanoo (talk) 00:33, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Chiyo used Naruto's chakra to help with her Reanimation Technique remember?71.71.58.231 (talk) 00:40, December 20, 2012 (UTC) Yhwach
 * Again same difference: Chakra flow vs technique medium. Chiyo used Naruto's chakra cuz she was empty, she didn't use Naruto as a medium for it, she was still the one using the technique. Darksusanoo (talk) 00:44, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * True. But it doesn't mean that it's impossible.71.71.58.231 (talk) 01:02, December 20, 2012 (UTC) Yhwach

It seems a bit difficult to accept that Obito could pull off something of that scale, since his Wood Release abilities aren't all that powerful nor is his control over the Ten-Tails perfect and also that the chakra flow concept is from a person to an object, not from a living being to another. 2.80.178.114 (talk) 23:33, December 19, 2012 (UTC)

Chakra Arms?
Various articles refer to Ten-Tails' hand-like tails in its second form as "chakra arms", like those used by jinchūriki in Version 1/2. However, the arms are actually part of the Ten-Tails' physical anatomy, not formed from chakra. Unlike the tailed beasts, it actually possesses a true physical body, rather than being chakra given solid form. For consistency, should these articles not be changed to reflect this fact?--BeyondRed (talk) 23:15, December 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, the term chakra arms are being used wrong in this case, they aren't arms made of chakra, they are simply the Ten-Tails' tails, that now are tipped with hands. Freaky little thing isn't it.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 23:17, December 20, 2012 (UTC)

Given how the tailed beasts are basically chakra constructs, the extra arms can be put under this banner. Darksusanoo (talk) 23:26, December 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * No they can't. He is not using the chakra arms at all. The Ten-Tails is using its tails as hands, nothing more. Ultimate is right, it should be removed. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 03:01, December 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Chakra arms come in a variety of ways so the fact that the Ten-Tails uses the arm in a different manner does not invalidate that fact. Darksusanoo (talk) 03:37, December 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Chakra arms have one universal trait though; they are made of pure chakra. When Killer Bee uses the Eight-Tails' tentacle tails for stuff, he is not using chakra arms, he is using tails. The Ten-Tails using it's hand-tail monstrosities are not using chakra arms, but its freaky hand-tail monstrosities.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 04:03, December 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * And tailed beasts also have a universal trait: they are also made of pure chakra, so in this case it may be that the Juubi is simply putting a spin onto a classic. I believe that tails or not, if they are extra arms, they are chakra arms.Darksusanoo (talk) 04:18, December 21, 2012 (UTC)

Except Ten-Tails isn't a Tailed Beast, it's a tailed beast. People should realize that, Tailed Beasts are Ten-Tail's chakra split into 9 and given physical form and soul/mind.--Elveonora (talk) 04:25, December 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Then by that standart none of the techniques that list him as a user should be there. Darksusanoo (talk) 04:34, December 21, 2012 (UTC)

You misunderstand... it's the origin of Tailed Beasts, but not one itself, there's just not a better classification yet. God/demon/monster/nature itself whatever. The point being that it's not animated chakra, it was a physical being, stayed a physical being after it's chakra has been split and still is. In short, it doesn't use chakra arms, those are it's body--Elveonora (talk) 04:40, December 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Since it's the origin, it has multiple tails, and how they keep repeating that all the tailed beast abilities are by-products of the Juubi's powers and that it can be sealed into a human to create a jinchuuriki, it's still a tailed beast. Just because something is the origin of a category, doesnt mean it isn't a part of said category. Darksusanoo (talk) 04:44, December 21, 2012 (UTC)

For the first, exactly, it's a "tailed beasts" because it has tails and being a monster and all. Orochimaru was absorbed by Sasuke and the latter could use his abilities, does that make Sasuke an ex-jinchuriky now? The series made it clear that things can be sealed into other things and even people--Elveonora (talk) 04:54, December 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * The Sage of the Six Paths was the first jinchuriki, the Juubi is stated as a tailed beast, the first one. Madara's goal is to become a jinchuriki for the TT so i fail to see your point. Darksusanoo (talk) 04:58, December 21, 2012 (UTC)

Apparently "_" well the topic is about arms, so let's stick with arms--Elveonora (talk) 06:04, December 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, stick to the topic at hand, which are the status of Chakra Arms. To respond to Darksusanoo, no. The Eight-Tails, well eight tails are all technically arms. Six of the Seven-Tails' tails are wings. Whatever strange form their tails end up taking, they are still tails.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 23:25, December 21, 2012 (UTC)

Maybe offtopic, but if I'm not mistaken, Killer B uses "chakra arms" that aren't really arms but horns in his cloak 1 Lariat. Maybe we should rename it "chakra limbs/appendages/manifestation" or something. But yeah, the Ten-Tails. No, not made of chakra thus not chakra arms. I vote for removal of such mentions in all instances--Elveonora (talk) 01:48, December 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed. No matter how Darksusanoo rephrases it, the fact is that the Ten-Tails has used the Tailed Beast Ball. It used the shockwave right away. But it has not, under any circumstances, used the Tailed Beast Chakra Arms. It simply used its physical tails (no matter how they are shaped) to attack. Period. It should be removed. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 05:44, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

Demonic Statue and Ten-Tails abilities
Since the Statue and Ten-Tails are one and the same, i think that all of the abilities/attacks shown by the Statue, should also be stated in the Ten-Tails Infobox and abilities section. Even if what it used as the Statue was gained by outside means, it didn't lose then when it became complete as the Ten-Tails. Opinions are welcome and needed. Darksusanoo (talk) 22:08, February 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * The Ten-Tails hasn't shown the ability to shoot chakra lasers or have shown a shockwave shout, so yes from what it looks like it did lose something. We can't say what the statue does the full Ten-Tails could do.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 22:12, February 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * There are one and the same...if it were the other way around i would agree with you, but it's extremely implausible for the complete thing not being capable of doing the what i could do when it was incomplete...plus the whole shockwave looks more like it's equivalent the Tailed Beast Skill than anything else. Darksusanoo (talk) 22:17, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

Ha, this topic again, I love it. Well, humans lost their fur and tails ;D--Elveonora (talk) 22:51, February 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well @Elve...that's reality, this is manga/anime...it's perferctly reasonable that what the beast could do in a de-powered state, he could also do in it near-full power state. Darksusanoo (talk) 23:28, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

Since they are the same entity, it should be merged, we don't list Naruto in Sage Mode and Kurama mode as 2 different characters--Elveonora (talk) 23:49, February 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * The difference being, Naruto doesn't stop being Naruto when he powers up. The Ten-Tails stopped being the Ten-Tails when it died. It's body was then used to become the Demonic Statue. This has been discussed to death.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 00:21, February 28, 2013 (UTC)

It NEVER died, where do you get that from?--Elveonora (talk) 00:48, February 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Died, chakra removed, whatever. It for all extensive purposes died when it's chakra was removed. Anyway the only logical way to justify the two articles being merged would be that you must also justify why the other tailed beast aren't merged. They are after all parts of the Ten-Tails too.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 01:06, February 28, 2013 (UTC)

It never died, stop making things up, it stayed pretty much alive. TB are their own entities, just because their bodies were created from Jubi's chakra doesn't make them one with it.--Elveonora (talk) 14:26, February 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * But following your logic, yeah it kinda does. The Demonic Statue by your logic is no different from the other Tailed Beasts, it is a different entity from the monster it came from in that it is a statue, just like the Nine-Tails is different from the monster it came from in that it is a giant fox. Unless you deliberately pick and choose if the Demonic Statue, being the empty body of the Ten-Tails given a new purpose, is different than the Tailed Beast, is the chakra of the Ten-Tails given new forms and a new purpose, then they cannot and should not be merged.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 15:33, February 28, 2013 (UTC)

The Statue is Ten-Tails stripped of most of it's chakra, it never died. TB are animated chakra, in other words, Ten-Tails never died nor ceased to be it's own entity, it just got weakened--Elveonora (talk) 15:42, February 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Then explain to me how we are in a Ten-Tails Revival Arc then?--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 15:44, February 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'll save you the trouble: Nobody has referred to the Ten-Tails as being dead, but they haven't said it was "alive" either. In fact, the mention that the Ten-Tails lost "most" of its chakra is something you just made up because when the Sage was said to be entering the end of his life, he was said to "divide the Ten-Tails' chakra into the nine Tailed Beasts and then put the body in the moon". It did not say "separated most of the chakra and hid the rest on the moon".--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 15:48, February 28, 2013 (UTC)

Into it's "true" form and full power, the Statue looked alive enough to me, corpses do not move and make noises. Since Madara was sucking it's chakra to stay alive, obviously some of it stayed. Naruto also pulled Nine-Tails' chakra yet it still had enough to create the super giant TBB, notice, we are talking about the creation itself, it's said to be God of Narutoverse basically, you can't kill it. If it was killable, Sage would have done so, to save everyone troubles--Elveonora (talk) 15:52, February 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * And he killed it about as well as he could; Divided the chakra into the Tailed Beasts and the body into the moon where it would eventually be brought back to earth as the Demonic Statue. And here we are right back to the point I was originally making, you cannot pick and decide that the Tailed Beasts keep their articles when they are just parts of the Ten-Tails and say Demonic Statue losses its article for being a part of the Ten-Tails. And because I know where you will go right after this, here is some simple mathematics.
 * Ten-Tailed Beast = (Shukaku chakra x Matatabi chakra x Isobu chakra x Son Goku chakra x Saiken chakra x Chomei chakra x Gyuki chakra x Kurama chakra) + Demonic Statue of the Outer Path
 * You see that math? If not look over it again. And I was going to comment on corpses don't move but that would have been far to easy.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 15:59, February 28, 2013 (UTC)

Don't play dumb please, TB's CHAKRA is a part of Ten-Tails not their souls, they themselves are their own entities, separate characters. Chakra isn't a character, yet they are not just chakra but living things, at least two of them are at the moment.--Elveonora (talk) 16:14, February 28, 2013 (UTC)

Image
Why is a silhouette used as the infobox image when we have now actually seen the real Jūbi's appearance?--RexGodwin (talk) 21:41, March 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * We've seen either poor representations of the silhouette in the anime, and in the manga, the final form has yet to be seen. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:43, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

Why not use either of the forms we've seen in the manga? certainly better than a god-awful sillhouette picture--RexGodwin (talk) 22:24, March 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * Because they're not its final form. We'll get it either when it matures all the way, or when we get a flashback to the Sage's time. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:33, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

That's right--Elveonora (talk) 23:34, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

what the...
Affiliation Akatsuki? 0_o wut?!--Elveonora (talk) 19:24, April 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * Think it has something to do with it being part of the Akatsuki war machine in the war. But technically it is wrong.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 19:48, April 23, 2013 (UTC)

I see Kurama is listed as being affiliated with Konoha too, why is that? Both are prisoners, not comrades--Elveonora (talk) 20:27, April 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * The Nine-Tails is a weird one. One through Seven, none of those tailed beasts are aligned with any faction, unless you count them making peace with their jinchuriki during Naruto's talk with them. Bee and the Eight-Tails are literally partners of Kumo so if even on a technicality, The Eight-Tails is affiliated with Kumo. The Nine-Tails up until the Fourth War was just a pissed off fox sealed in a kids gut, but Naruto's "You're my ally from Konoha" comment and then the fox doing absolutely nothing to deny it and even became the pseudo-commander the Allied Shinobi squad fighting Tobi, he is too, on a sharp technicality, affiliated with Konoha.


 * In short, Two through Seven, could be affiliated if they "allied" with their jinchuriki during their short time talking but its up in the air. One-Tail is missing from this because lawl.
 * Eight-Tails is affiliated with Kumo due to its partnership with Killer Bee.
 * Nine-Tails is affiliated with Konoha due to its partnership with Naruto Uzumaki.
 * Ten-Tails is listed as affilated with Akatsuki because when Demonic Statue was affiliated with Akatsuki, but is technically a mindless disaster so it is just as likely affiliated with the stick floating in the river than any organization.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 20:35, April 23, 2013 (UTC)

Exactly :D that's why I remove TT, it has no friends T_T--Elveonora (talk) 21:59, April 23, 2013 (UTC)

species/classification again ...
Do we really must list it as a "tailed beast" ??? Because that isn't true, Tailed Beasts are creations from its chakra and the Ten-Tails was stated to have created the universe, so it's a deity. Just because it's a "beast" and has "tails" doesn't make it a tailed beast, would be like calling a human a hairless ape or a dog domesticated canine.--Elveonora (talk) 10:58, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

It's a beast, has tails, and is referred to most commonly as the Ten-Tails, not as a Deity despite having an actual name of one given to it. Yeah, pretty much makes it a Tailed Beast. As for your other point, Humans are Homo Sapiens, which are a genus of primate and being perfectly literal, a dog is a domesticated canine. Just because you can use more than one term to describe something, doesn't make one definition any more accurate than another.

Humans are Apes

Dogs are Canines

The Ten Tails is a Tailed Beast and a Deity.

You want to petition to get deity added, that's all well and good, but that doesn't stop it being a tailed beast. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 16:18, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

That's my point, it's being listed as a tailed beast only because the definition is fitting its appearance, it's a "beast" and has "tails" but the term Tailed Beasts refers to beings created from its chakra by Grandpa Hermit of Six. Classifying it as a tailed beast would be like classifying Naruto as a teenage blonde dubmass shinobi humanoid specimen from leaf village. Tailed Beasts' progeny is the "Ten-Tails" and the "Ten-Tails" can't be a tailed beast because there wasn't apparently anything before it. I take the classification as a race/species status, not definition of what something looks like. Hopefully you understand what I mean. TB are creations, Jubi has no creator for what we know. God are gods, they come in many forms, in fiction anyway--Elveonora (talk) 16:53, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

How about "Classification: Deity" and "Species: Plant" ? Perhaps we should create an article for deities in general and along with Ten-Tails, include also Jashin and the Death God there?--Elveonora (talk) 13:57, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

I would leave Jyuubi as a tailed beast, regardless if the other 9 are created from it or not. Currently, it's name is Jyuubi and even if it is the actual creator of all, it's still a tailed beast (as in a beast that has tails). Trying to reclassify it gets too deep and involved to the point it's not possible, especially considering we don't have information to confirm things such as it being a god, etc. And as for plant... just... no.--98.101.165.89 (talk) 14:12, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Kurama stated it's a god who created universe and is source of all chakra. Who is more credible? It simply isn't a tailed beast, that would be like stating god if any exist must be humanoid because we were "so" created in "his" image. Stating Jubi is a tailed beast is simply giving it false attributes and objectification, something humans are good at. Tailed Beasts aren't true/original/official beings, but creations made with Creation of All Things thus again, Ten-Tails isn't one despite its NICKname--Elveonora (talk) 14:19, May 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * Kurama did, but that doesn't change it from being a tailed beast. As for god, that's assuming the god looks like us, and it's not a flying bowl of pasta, or something Lovecraftian. Stating it is a tailed beast means it is a Tailed Beast, a beast with tails (10 to be precise), and the only name it is officially known by follows the same pattern as the other Tailed Beasts. No attributes are being taken away or false given by making such a conventional classification, either. What says it isn't a tailed beast? Because I currently, personally, do not see the logic in your points. Why can't it be a Tailed Beast, despite having godlike levels of power, so much so that it created the universe?--98.101.165.89 (talk) 14:34, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Because it wasn't created by Sage of Six Path using Creation of All Things?--Elveonora (talk) 14:53, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Which doesn't mean it isn't a Tailed Beast. Classification can have things added to it as they're introduced. It is still a beast with tails, albeit a beast with tails that is stated to have created the world and etc. --98.101.165.89 (talk) 14:55, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Then what the classification means to begin with? A description of what something looks like? Sensors are sensitive individuals who can sense chakra and identify by and even track others. Jinchuuriki are those with TB sealed into them, but Tailed Beasts aren't called "tailed beasts" because they are beasts with tails, are they? Cause that's not even true, Chomei has wings for example and Gyuki tentacles. Meaning what the term "classification" refers to is a group of individuals, Ten-Tails can't be a part of it--Elveonora (talk) 15:07, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

Point of clarification: The Ten-Tails is labeled as "Tailed Beast" because at the time of the pages creation, the Ten-Tails was simply known as the precurser of the tailed beasts and we weren't told that he was some sort of god. He is also, probably not some sort of god, at least in the context of the show, but a very old and pissed off demon. Ideally, it's classification should have been "Demon" from the start but there we go.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 16:08, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Why do you assume otherwise? The last we were told was that it's a god who more or less created the whole Narutoverse (in-universe-wise, out it's Kishimoto of course :-I), so unless Kurama lied or doesn't know any better than we do, it's true and there's no reason to doubt it because we list what we are told not what we think. The most correct classifications I see for it are "deity, progenitor, creator" all meaning the same things contextually, nothing else. For the species, biologically it resembles a plant-animal hybrid, but I don't know a term for such a creature so... plant--Elveonora (talk) 16:36, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Because we were also told it was a natural disaster, a giant, and a Deidarabotchi which is a fancy name for a demon. We've also called the First and Third Gods, but they weren't exactly deities.
 * Anyway we are arguing semantics and I honestly care very very little about this topic. I was just pointing out why the Ten-Tails was classified as a Tailed Beast.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 16:43, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * I have no issue with leaving the thing as a tailed beast it is just a generic classification we use for them, because essentially it is a name created by people for them and not what they are. Sometimes, you guys take things like classifications too literal, should we also then not classify the nine tailed beasts as demi gods? As where are you guys getting the information that the Ten-Tails is a plant? Just because it's mouth looks like one? The bulb on his back looks plant-like as well, doesn't make the beast a plant...--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 17:06, May 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * A lot of things are called "god" in this series, Elve. The Sage of the Six Paths, Hashirama, and even Hiruzen Sarutobi. That just means that's what people called them. Also, I cross referenced where you've been citing that the Ten-Tails "created the universe". No, it wasn't even stated to have created the planet. It was said that it was the origin of all life on the planet. Those are two very different concepts. Secondly, you seem to be overlooking the fact that the Tailed Beasts, throughout Naruto are referred to as demons. It is more likely, considering this is a Japanese series (and one of its names is Deidarabotchi), based on Japanese mythology, that the Ten-Tails is a demon, like Ultimate said, than some sort of "god". Either way, Tailed Beast does for a good description, but if it is absolutely demanded, we can change it to demon — but I don't think anyone is ready to classify it as a "god". And it is certainly not a freaking plant. Its mouth may look like one, and yes it has a bulb on its back, but that could just as well make it a freaking Venasaur. Let's leave speculation out of this. I really don't see why any of this matters, but, oh well. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 17:18, May 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * So Zero-Tails isn't a tailed beast (ignoring it's movie-only status, let's say it's canon) but Ten-Tails is? So if the term is just generic, then Nine-Tailed Naruto Clone and that thing the Uzumaki Clan leader sealed in anime should be one too. That's why the term isn't and shouldn't be generic, rather it has to refer to creation by grandpa sage of six. And no, Tailed Beasts aren't demi-gods because they have a creator, Jubi doesn't for what we know but itself is The Creator. @Ten Tailed Fox, it's been stated to be source of all chakra and progeny of everything that exists. For the plant thing, well, it has a physical form, there are biological kingdoms and since it resembles a plant-animal hybrid, it most closely looks like a something that would belong among plants since I don't think such a being does exist (plant-animal hybrid) in real life thus no term for it. EDIT: Hashirama, Sage of Six and Hiruzen were referred to as "god of shinobi" not "gods"--Elveonora (talk) 17:28, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

(Restarting the indents) No, canon or not, the Zero-Tails is not a Tailed Beast. It has no tails. Those are sorta required for Tailed Beasts. The Ten-Tails, as it so happens, has ten of them — more than any of the others, near as I can figure, so I'd say he fits that description pretty well. I don't know what you're talking about with the other two, so I can respond to those, but it would seem you're using anime-only content to justify classifying a demon as some sort of plant-god. Also, Elve, it really does say its the originator of life on the planet, not the planet, not the universe. Double-check your sources here. Not that it matters either way. Its not a plant, no matter how much it looks like one, and I don't think you're going to convince anyone here to label it as such. Might be a worthy triva note, but until Kishi comes out saying that the Ten-Tails is the pissed off "god of flowers", I'm not buying it. Its a demon. Beasts like it have been called demons througout the series, and it was even introduced as the "primordial demon". So yes, I'm not buying your argument. ~ Ten Tailed Fox 17:34, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * My point is that if we classify the Ten-Tails as a "tailed beast" then any monster with tails should we. We label species for Kurama as Kitsune, Shukaku as Tanuki so why not for the Ten-Tails? Also they were never stated to be demons, it's only what people of Narutoverse believed them to be, just like Suna believed Shukaku to be a corrupted priest, don't mix in-universe myths with out-universe facts please--Elveonora (talk) 17:42, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Zero-Tails is a misnomer, I thought we were all clear on this...? You're also taking the word "generic" too literal, within the Narutoverse Tailed Beast does not mean the same thing as a creature with a tail, it in all cases refers to the (for want of another word) tailed beasts. I can understand maybe classifying it as "Primordial Tailed Beast" but I'm not for calling it a god.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 17:44, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm for calling it anything but a tailed beast, so you don't want to call it god but demon yes? There's nothing to suggest it's a demon or that demons exist in this fiction for that matter--Elveonora (talk) 17:46, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Only reason I'd call any of them demons is because it'd sound cool, not because they were actual demons and that's what they were thought to be a long time ago (hence why everybody was X-Tail Demon Y). I don't think many traces of that are left on the wikia, with the exception of possibly Kurama who was called such.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 17:51, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
