Nine-Tailed Fox Menacing Ball

The Nine-Tails excretes chakra from its body and gathers it into a sphere in front of its mouth. It then has the option to either consume the sphere, or fire it as a normal projectile. When consumed, the sphere detonates inside the body and the chakra is fired from the mouth as a powerful beam. It is at least strong enough to destroy three Rashōmon gates without losing any of its momentum. When fired as a normal projectile, it does not get the extra momentum that consumption would give it; however, its area of effect is much larger when used as such, as it was able to destroy a large part of Konoha's gate.

This attack has been demonstrated by both Naruto, when he attains a chakra shroud, and the Nine-Tails itself. When the Nine-Tails itself uses this, it can create devastation far above the previous versions. During its attack on Konoha, it had launched the attack at the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. Even though he had teleported the blast away from the village, in the distance, the attack proved to make an explosion larger than the Hokage Monument and the mountains around it. In the anime, Naruto in his six-tailed form was seen firing a more concentrated beam of chakra as well as lobbing several spheres at once while fighting Pain.
