Technically, Minato doesn't need a power boost. He is an Edo, so his chakra is unlimited.

The reason he used it is because Kishimoto just wanted to show that Minato still has Kurama's chakra, and also to add more hype to Minato. Afterall, no other host of the kyuubi has been able to mold its chakra into KCM besides Naruto. All that does is show us Minato is an even bigger badass than we thought.

thats a good point but why wouldnt minato just give it to naruto instead of having it serve no purpose with him

Its just for a show that he has the other kyuubi's chakra...look at the seal...its directed downwards while naruto is upwards...

well, it's true that Minato definitely didn't need to use the cloak SO FAR. from the hokage he's probably the best at sealing, so it's definitely not that he needed the cloak for the seal. nor to teleport the two hokage since he teleported kurama, kushina, and naruto so teleporting humans is no issue either. which leaves the only conclusion that he's maxing up for the juubi. Why, I have no idea. Minato's already gotten the speed and ability to make the cloak of little use, and his arsenal is not chakra intensive, plus he's an edo tensei so chakra is not an issue... he'd have been better off giving the cloak to naruto. that said, he did say he's giving naruto a present, and now it's pretty much confirmed that the cloak is it. so he's just showing it off atm. naruto stands to benefit way more from the cloak than minato does. unless he's planning to use a tbb with the cloak

completely disagree. The simple fact is using the kyuubi's chakra will give minato's techniques a substantial boost in power, and frankly, in their current situation they need as much power as they can get. The chakra is available to him, and if he didn't use it it would be a disservice to the alliance.

what of minatos arsenal would need a power boost
his rasengan is already perfect enough
he can do ftg just as well as he can without the cloak

I was wondering this as well. I guess maybe for the extra speed. Can't think of anything else.

Hashirama went SM to perform a technique which needed natural energy (hence Senpou). So him going Sage Mode had relevance.

It didnt need sage mode,he just did it to enhance the technique..it is the ten tails after all

Well, to enhance it then. KCM doesn't really do anything to enhance Minato's techniques. It makes him faster, but I can't really think of anything else.

it makes him look badass Minato is a beast Deal With It hater

This guy isn't hating on Minato, neither are most people who really dislike the fact Minato has Tailed Beast Mode now. The fact of the matter is that it's just not original anymore. Naruto finally had a massive trump card that nobody else had, it was completely original, and then suddenly Minato turns up and uses it as if it's no problem at all; after Naruto had trained for weeks and weeks to gain such power. It's just so irritating.

The seal they are using to subdue the juubi will be given a boost in power; similar to the way orochimaru could subdue tobirama using hashi cells

if you were in minato's shoes and you did not use the km cloak because you thought you were already good enough without it, I'd say you're pretty full of yourself. Plus if you were in his shoes I have no doubt you'd be using it too, just because:cool:

Maybe just like goku showed gohan the weak spots of his opponent, minato also shows naruto the weak spots with using the cloak, idunno just a thought

yeah but the other hokages didnt need that which leads me to think that hes not on par with them

if i was in minatos shoes i would have returned it to its original source so the kyuubi can be whole because naruto can actually do something with a powerup

The other Kages dont have a power up to use, and make no mistake; if they did they'd be using it too. Also, why is Hashi using sage mode??? Hint:
MORE POWER

Minato and Naruto both having kyuubi chakra is a deadlier combo

wait what hashirama went sage mode to do so, so by your logic hashirama couldnt do it without sage mode

the way i see it is kcm will add more power to the barrier to strengthen it like how hashis sage mode did

sasuke was testing out his abilities
minato didnt need to do such a thing



hashi actually needed sage mode unlike minato needing kcm
Ok so you think Minato, who died only a few moments after sealing the fox into himself, has no need to test out his new found powers?

Why would you NOT do something that boosts your power against the strongest creature ever?

thisU_U...we got hashi in sage mode so It would make sense that minato would have to go all out against the strongest being in narutoverse
