Nine-Tails Surge

In his one-tailed form , Naruto brushes his claws past each other, releasing a powerful horizontal crescent wave that rips though the opponent and causes them to crumple to the ground in pain.

In Naruto Shippūden: Gekitō Ninja Taisen! EX 3 , this attack could only be performed with a Senzai Ninriki (Latent Ninja Power) active; this is no longer the case in Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 and Gekitō Ninja Taisen! Special .

## Trivia [ ]

- In some Japanese sources, the naming of this type of attack also applies to Naruto's jumping strong attack in this state as well (which is a burst of energy shot as a projectile downward, but more so is considered to be a Great Roar instead).
- This attack is based off of the invisible surge launched at Sasuke upon Naruto entering his Version 1 form for the first time in the original anime/manga.
- When used in EX 3 , the attack is instead performed with the motion/animation being one of Three-Tailed Naruto's basic attacks.
- However, as of Revolution 3 and Special , the original animation from Gekitō Ninja Taisen! 4 is reused.
- If the attack is somehow used up close enough in the Wii-subseries, it instead slightly jerks the target back instead of causing them to crumple.
