How does the Nue scaling work?

We have seen the Nue at multiple sizes, and multiple power levels, ranging from the Nueling that Sumire currently summons, through the moderate size that was summoned at the rooftop, to the massive size version that was summoned outside Konoha, and in the alternate dimension.


That brings me to the point of the thread. It seems logical that Nue grows proportionally to the chakra harvested/stored by Sumire (probably in her seal). If so, could it be comparable to the Yin Seal used by Sakura and Tsunade?

Here is a comparison:
CharacteristicYin SealNue Seal
Power SourceOwn Chakra accumulated / stored over a long period of timeOthers' chakra absorbed and stored
AvailabilityStarting with an unspecified minimum chakra storageFrom the start, but at a tiny size
ManifestationInstant Healing / Increased Chakra Potency / Chakra Boost / BuffsChimera Beast (Nue) / Summon / No Buffs
LocationForeheadPalm / Back Torso
Chakra OutSeal retracts, needs to be restored overtime againSeal retracts, Nue downsizes to Nueling
Call BackUnused Chakra returns to form sealNue dismissed / seal remains unchanged







What do you guys think about these parallels, and could they mean that the developers of Sumire's seal may have drawn inspiration from Mito's seal the same way Tsunade did?

The bigger it is the more dangerous right now it's just a baby that was barely born, it was able to grow by absorbing chakra but at it it's strongest Naruto had to be careful

The seal on Sumire's back broke that's why Nue is way smaller he is no longer in that seal since it's gone. he's now in her palm smaller in size because the seal is absent

Wow, that's a real stretch right there. I don't think it's supposed to be a parallel.

As I understand, the seal allowed Sumire to summon Nue in the first place, it being from an alternate dimension (thus Sasuke's interest in it)

When it was defeated, the seal retracted, but instead materialized in her palm, where it currently resides. There's nothing to state that she can't store chakra in the new seal, the way she did before.

Maybe it isn't. Do you think maybe it is an related development to the Yin Seal, though, seeing as how they were both developed in Konoha, with similar functions?

Exactly! It seems to get stronger with more chakra, exponentially even (seeing as the ones whose chakra was stolen couldn't possibly be directly proportional to the massive power scaling Nue displayed)
