Mecha Naruto wrote: I haven't read Shikamaru Hiden but I know in that novel it is stated that Naruto's Six Paths Sage Mode was possible because of Kurama and other 8 tailed beasts. That doesn't sound accurate. The only line I could find that even approaches that was this one from chapter 12:


 * "Whether it was Uchiha Madara, who had planned to drag every human on earth into a giant genjutsu’s dreams, or Naruto Uzumaki, who had taken all the tailed beasts into his body so he could end the battle, both were prime examples of living beings that simply couldn’t be called ‘human’ anymore. It was possible that with the developments of the last era, shinobi had broken away from the path of ‘humanity’ all together."

Seems about as vague as it should be.
