There's some things I've been trying to make sense of regarding Naruto's jinchuriki powers:

Before his duel with Kurama, Naruto could use Version 1 and 2, and when Kurama took over during his fight against Pain he started turning into a flesh-and-blood replica of it. After his duel with Kurama, he gets suddenly Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and his Tailed Beast Mode is translucent and made of yellow chakra. Why didn't he just get full control over Version 1 and 2 and transform into a flesh-and-blood biju like Killer B and the Edo Tensei Jinchuriki?

Furthermore, since Naruto can still use Version 1, how exactly is Nine-Tails Chakra Mode different from Version 1, and why use one and not the other?

Also, is it ever mentioned in the databooks if any of Kurama's other jinchuriki (Mito and Kushina) have access to Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, or were they only able to use Version 1 and 2?
