Nine Names

" Nine Names " ( 九つの名前 , Kokonotsu no Namae ) is chapter 572 of the original Naruto manga.

## Summary [ ]

As Naruto and Kurama 's Tailed Beast Ball collide with those of the opposing tailed beasts , both attacks fly upwards and explode. Using the opportunity to grab the beasts by the throat, Naruto sends clones in the initial Nine-Tails Chakra Mode to grab hold of the black receivers . As they do so, the original enters the consciousness of the tailed beasts who had all been waiting there with their respective jinchūriki and is greeted by Yugito who was pleased he had made it to this level. Welcoming him, Naruto and Yagura — whom the former starts pitying believing the former Mizukage to be a child who looked even weaker than Naruto did — have a brief conversation. After learning of Son Gokū and Rōshi 's fate from Fū , he is summoned before the tailed beast and told to stretch out his hand. After Utakata and Han thank Naruto, one by one, tailed beast and jinchūriki alike introduce themselves to Naruto and then "bump fists" with him. Here, Kurama remembers the parting words of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki and then — as the stakes are removed — asks his fellow tailed beast if they too believed as Son did that Naruto was the one that the Sage had spoken of so long ago. They all affirm them as a shocked Tobi reseals them into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path . Though stating that nothing had changed because of his worn out condition after the Tailed Beast Mode had ended, Naruto refutes Tobi's claim, stating that he had just learned a bunch of difficult names all at once.
