==Summary==
 more commonly known as the , is one of the nine Tailed Beasts created from the Ten-Tails by Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths. Regarded as a dangerous monster and a living calamity by the people of the Land of Fire. Kurama's hatred of humanity stems from a long history of being seen as a mindless beast and exploited as a weapon of mass destruction. Kurama's cynicism about the world has not changed since he was confined within Naruto Uzumaki. However, Naruto's persistence in treating Kurama with respect has eventually led to the fox's change of heart, becoming one of the heroes everyone needs.

Attack Potency: Country level+ (Far stronger than Naruto's Kyūbi Chakra Mode, as Naruto now had access to all of Kurama's unrestricted chakra in that formJin no Sho, Page 250. He is far superior to the Tailed Beasts, as his power allowed Naruto to casually send five incoming Tailed Beast Bombs flying.Naruto Chapter 571 Kurama Mode Naruto was able to intercept and stop Madara's humanoid Susano'o with his chakra arm.Naruto Chapter 608 With his Kurama Avatar, he easily knocked down 5 Tailed Beasts simultaneously, and effortlessly manhandled them.Naruto Chapter 571 Without charging up, his regular Tailed Beast Bomb matched the combined, charged, Tailed Beast Bomb of five other Tailed Beasts.Naruto Chapter 572 His charged Tailed Beast Bomb contributed a majority of the energy used to do this much damage.Naruto Chapter 609 Once Naruto gained full masteryNaruto Chapter 616Naruto Chapter 617 over his chakra, small portions of it massively enhanced the abilities of the members of the Shinobi Alliance, allowing them to somewhat contend with the Ten-Tail's Second Form.Naruto Chapter 616Naruto Chapter 617 When all of his disseminated chakra came together, it was capable of easily slicing through the Ten-Tail's legsNaruto Chapter 617Scales to approximately 98.35 Teratons) | Large Country level (Twice as strong as his 50% self, as his Chakra and body were literallyNaruto Chapter 503Naruto Chapter 504 split in halfNaruto Chapter 631Scales to approximately 196.7 Teratons) | Unknown (Far stronger than before, but to what extent is unknown)
Speed: At least Sub-Relativistic (Comparable to Tailed Beast State Naruto) | At least Sub-Relativistic (Faster than before) | Unknown (Far faster than before, but to what extent is unknown)
Lifting Strength: At least Class G (Far stronger than his Eight-Tailed Form) | At least Class G (Stronger than before) | Unknown (Far stronger than before, but to what extent is unknown)
Striking Strength: Country level+ (Capable of damaging the Ten-Tail's second formNaruto Chapter 617) | Large Country level (Far stronger than all of the other Tailed Beasts. Twice as strong as his 50% self) | Unknown (Far stronger than before, but to what extent is unknown)
Durability: Country level+ (Comparable to his striking strength. Withstood a blow from the Ten-Tail's First Form. Even while low on chakra, he withstood and redirected an attack from the Ten-Tails, though he lost the edge of his tails.Naruto Chapter 610 Even while severely weakened and exhaustedNaruto Chapter 628, his chakra was still capable of fending off Obito and Madara's attacksNaruto Chapter 628, as well as allowing the Alliance members to survive the Ten-Tails' TenpenchiiNaruto Chapter 628) | Large Country level (Twice as strong as his 50% self) | Unknown (Far stronger than before, but to what extent is unknown)
Stamina: Superhuman (Tailed Beasts have enormous chakra reserves, and Kurama has the most chakra out of the 9 Tailed Beasts)
Range: Tens of Metres to Thousands of Kilometers
Standard Equipment: Nothing notable
Intelligence: Genius (He can formulate strategies amid battle. Also has remarkable leadership skills, being able to stay completely composed even when overwhelmed by the Ten-Tails and effectively tell his new teammates how best to handle the mighty tailed beast. Immediately realize the weakness of Chibaku Tensei by trying to fire the Tailed Beasts towards the center of gravity during the fight against Deva Path of Pain)
Weaknesses: Kurama was always angry and easy to provoke, although after being sealed inside Naruto, this weakness seems to have disappeared. It is vulnerable to sufficient, high-level mind-controlling and sealing techniques. While sealed in a host (Jinchūriki), it will die if the host does. Like all Tailed Beasts, it can't correctly focus its power without a Jinchūriki's aid, thus throwing around its power randomly. The Baryon Mode is dangerous due to the extreme chakra consumption and resulted in Kurama's true death.

*: The signature attack of the Tailed Beasts, Kurama mixes appropriate proportions of positive black chakra and negative white chakra to form a ball of energy that he can fire at his target, obliterating large swathes of land in an instant on impact. Alternatively, Kurama can swallow it to compress its energy into a beam that could only be stopped by another being as powerful as a Tailed Beast like the Eight-Tails.
**: Kurama fires several uncompressed Tailed Beast Bombs in rapid succession to quickly decimate an area.
* Kurama uses his massive chakra reserves to empower his roars and movements, dispersing oncoming attacks as powerful as Naruto's Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan and sending other Tailed Beasts flying backward.
*Negative Emotions Sensing: Kurama can sense negative emotions such as hatred and murderous intent of any individual around it.
* Kurama can draw the natural energy around him, blending it with his and Naruto's chakra.
**: While empowered by Naruto's Six Paths Sage power and combined with the entire natural chakra on the planet, they create two shadow clones of the whole chakra figure. The three chakra avatars merged, creating a three-faced, six-armed avatar. In its right arms, it creates a Massive Rasenshuriken, and in its left arms, it creates a Tailed Beast Bomb Rasenshuriken. It is powerful enough to counter Indra's Arrow.
