[Theory] Just because he's half Uzumaki....

[Rokudaime Hokage Naruto]

It doesn't mean Naruto has a weaker life force than Kushina or any other Uzumaki out there. Without bringing too much logic into it, Naruto has clearly inherited a strong life force from his mother but if you go into genetics you don't 'half' inherit things as long as the phenotype is a discrete variable - in this case it is: strong life force or not. This means Minato's lack of genes for a strong life force will not affect Naruto.

On top of this, it is likely that not all Uzumaki's have the same strength in life force (I can't prove this but it is very likely), that means the strength of their life-force is affected by environmental factors such as training.

For these reasons it is possible for Naruto to have a stronger life force and larger chakra pool than full-blooded Uzumakis and people should stop referencing the fact that he is only half Uzumaki. Jiraiya had massive chakra levels and presumably from that a strong life-force but he didn't inherit anything from the Uzumaki clan.

This may be how Kishi saves Naruto from death if Kurama is extracted properly.

Let me know what you guys think.

Edit: I realise Kushina was going to die eventually, but that has nothing to do with my argument than Naruto could possibly have a stronger life force than other Uzumaki's and that people shouldn't dismiss him as only half.

Double edit: People have missed the main point of this and latched on to a possibility I merely stated at the end of my argument...

the extraction was still going to kill kushina

What you don't seem to realize is kushina was going to die from the extraction just not right away. Being uzumaki isn't what is going too save naruto. Tsunade and Sakura are there with that diamond charka on their heads. They will save naruto but fact remains is he lost kuruma

My point was Naruto might have a stronger life-force than Kushina.

 

[Princessu Kaaantchan]

Yup. You're right.

 

[kral]

that scans shows that she was going to die because she was going to suck him back in which would use the last of her chakra/lifeforce to do. if she didn't have to stop the ninetails with her chains n everything else that happened she would of lived through all that.

 

[sealingscroll]

but it could be a variable half or not. kushina was only giving birth. naruto has been fighting for days. once the hokages arrived he was almost out of chakra. he should be almost completely out again as well as having kurama taken. it could do serious actions.

you know what I mean.

normal ninja dies.
uzumaki's live.
naruto being half uzumaking still has the blood. but doesn't mean a full or half will affect him or not.

we will just see though.

she was going to die of chakra exhaustion, just like what happened to nagato.....

OT, despite being half uzumaki. Naruto should have strong lifeforce, i mean look at tsunade shes 1/4 uzumaki yet she survived being bisected due to her strong lifeforce (which came from the uzumaki genes)

 

[Namikun]

Plot will save Nardo.

 

[skg1991]

either way, naruto survives and there is a power up somewhere around the corner

she didnt do anything to exhaust her chakra
the only thing that happened to her was getting kurama extracted

:| didn't you read what she said? "It's the only way to save you both, with the little bit of chakra i have left" that implies that her chakra is near zero.....

 

[fandum]

Plot will save Nardo.

Like pretty much every other character in NV.

 

[Erebus]

You don't seem to realize if Kurama get extracted and Naruto doesn't get help, he WILL die.

 

[ANiMUS]

The kid is gonna die, plot will save him. Fact is losing bijuu kills. We'll see if there will be any exception in the next chapter

 

[Fair Warning]

stopped reading after you said minato has a weak life force

she also had the seal which stored chakra (naruto doesn't), at the same time she was gonna die anyway by saving the gokages. till re-inforcements showed up.

also naruto was almost out of chakra once in this war. when minato intervened and sakura started healing him.

so i'll be shocked to see him living after this when his chakra is almost dwindled. (I know he'll be alive though because he is the main character in the story) but a little death like kakashi would be understandable.

so, if naruto does "die" it'll most likely be chakra exhaustion? seems plausible.

no matter how strong his life force is, tearing a bijuu from a jin is like removing a vital organ. kishi has pushed this since the beginning of the manga that since naruto's body and chakra coils developed around the kyuubi's presence, losing him will absolutely kill him.

there's no point in kishi pushing ANY of that in the manga if when it actually happened he could just straight up survive it. no, he will need someone else to save his life this time.

 

[guiltybird]

Naruto has as much Uzumaki bloodline as Tsunade does. He has a significant amount of lifeforce compared to most, but ultimately he is not full Uzumaki, as his father cleary is not of the clan, and the manga itself explains that Naruto isn't part of the clan.

IF Kurama is extracted from him, I do think he will survive due to his mom's genes, but I don't think Madara will extract Kurama from him.
