The history of this sword extends into legend and it is one of the theory of how the sword came into being. The Japanese god, Susanoo encountered a grieving family headed by Ashi-Na-Zuchi in Izumo province. Upon inquiry, the elder told that his family was ravaged by the fearsome 8-headed serpent of Koshi who consumed seven of the family's eight daughters and the creature was coming for his final daughter, Kushi-Nada-Hime. Susanoo proceeded forward to investigate the creature, and after an abortive encounter he returned with a plan to defeat it. In return, he asked for Kushi-Nada-Hime's hand in marriage which was agreed. Transforming her temporarily into a comb to have her company during the battle, he detailed his plan.

He instructed the preparation of 8 vats of sake (rice wine) to be put on individual platforms positioned behind a fence with 8 gates. The monster took the bait and put each of its heads through each of the gates. With the necessary distraction provided, Susanoo attacked and slew the beast. He decapitated each of the heads and then proceeded to the tails. In the fourth tail, he discovered a great sword inside the body of the dragon which he called Murakumo-No-Tsurugi (lit. Sword of the heaven of the clustering clouds) which he presented to the goddess, Amaterasu to settle an old grievance.

Generations later in the reign of the 12th emperor, Keiko, the sword was given to the great warrior, Yamato-Takeru as part of a pair of gifts given by his aunt, Yamato-Hime the Shrine Maiden of Ise, to protect her nephew in times of peril.

These gifts came in handy when Yamato-Takeru was lured onto an open grassland during a hunting expedition by a treacherous warlord. The lord had fiery arrows fired to ignite the grass to trap Yamato-Takeru in the field and have him burn to death and killed the warrior's horse to prevent his escape. Desperately, Yamato-Takeru used Murakakumo-No-Tsurugi to cut back the grass to remove fuel from the fire, but in doing so, he discovered that the sword enabled him to control the wind around to make it move in the direction he swung. Taking advantage of the magic, Yamato-Takeru used his other gift, fire strikers, to enlarge the fire in the direction of the lord and his men and used the winds controlled by the sword to sweep the blaze toward them to kill them. In triumph, Yamato-Takeru renamed Murakumo-No-Tsurugi as Kusanagi (Grasscutter) to commemorate his narrow escape and victory.

Eventually, Yamato-Takeru married and fell in battle with a monster after ignoring his wife's advice to take Kusanagi with him. While this is the most popular theory of Kusanagi's name, researchers agree that this is most likely false. In the ancient Japanese language, kusa meant sword' and nagi meant snake. Kusanagi therefore meant sword of snake.
I'm sorry but did this have a point?

Itachi was in the possession of two spiritual items. These of course were the sword of totsuka and the yata mirror. The Sword of Totsuka was the sword used by Itachi's version of Susanoo which was able to place whoever it cut into an eternal drunken slumber. The Yata Mirror was the shield Susanoo carried and was capable of deflecting any attack. The pairing quite literally made Itachi invincible.



These two items however, are part of a threesome. The one item that we haven't seen yet is the Yasakani no Magatama. Or at least it hasn't been revealed that we've seen it. I think though, that we have in fact seen this spiritual item. Magatama are curved beads that hang on necklaces, this is what the Sage of the Six Path's necklace is made of.



This brings us to Naruto's new transformation. When accessing the Kyuubi's chakra Naruto has a unique transformation. Unlike the transformations we've seen previously with the Shukaku, Nibi and Hachibi, Naruto does not take on the appearance of his tailed beast. Instead he gains a bright blue cloak in the form of the Sage of the Six Paths. He also gains what looks like the sage's necklace. I believe that this necklace shown on Naruto is in actuality, the Yasakani no Magatama that was given to him by Itachi.



The Yasakani no Magatama represents benevolance, the exact opposite of what the tailed beasts represent. I think the Sage of the Six Paths was the first person to possess this spiritual item and it was what allowed him to conquer the Juubi. Now in Naruto, it reacts with the Kyuubi's chakra and gives Naruto this new transformation. This also explains why Naruto can sense evil intentions. The necklace which represents goodness, gives the person the ability to sense evil.
see now that just reaises my suspition that they are planning on makeing naruto the new sage of the six paths all he needs is the rienngan and he will look just like the sage his transformation looks just like the sage and now you have said that you have made me say that is wat will happen

Nice theory but what about the sword and the shield that were in posetion of Itachi. Does Sasuke have them now that he has combined his brother's eyes with his own. Does that mean that he will be super powerfull while using Susanoo?
Dont think so, as Madara said Sasuke's Susanoo wasnt as strong as Itachi's, and i dont think he got the sword of Totsuka, since he was firing arrows while fighting with Danzou, and i dont remember him having the Shield either, Naruto might have gotten all the 3 spiritual items?

see now that just reaises my suspition that they are planning on makeing naruto the new sage of the six paths all he needs is the rienngan and he will look just like the sage his transformation looks just like the sage and now you have said that you have made me say that is wat will happen
Well have you ever thought about that the Sage only looked liked that because of the Juubi inside him?, so i guess any1 would look like Naruto if they just used the chakra of their Bijuu's. And the Rinnegan is Sasuke's, Naruto doesn't need them ;), and also having Rinnegan eyes would make Naruto alot less Sexy ^^

Okay and when Naruto turned into the 8th tails why did he look like he did, if what ur saying is correct?. The only reason Naruto looks like he does is because he only uses the chakra of his Bijuu, while Killer-Bee transform into his Bijuu.

excellent theory, I'd missed it when it was previously posted.

So to the Dragons, I say thank you for this.

Yet, I still have to disagree with it. Maybe just out of ego. I still think there's a lot more to itachi than has been told.

First Itachi was a cold blooded killer who mercilessly slaughtered every member of the uchiha clan for no reason in a single night. He left only Sasuke alive for some unknown reason.

Then:
Itachi slaughtered his entire clan because he wasn't getting along with them, and he did it, not in one night, but in a couple hours.

Then:
Itachi and Madara Slaughtered the entire uchiha clan in a couple hours, because itachi wasn't getting along with them.

Then:
Itachi and Madara slaughtered the entire uchiha clan in a couple hours, because the uchiha clan was plotting to go back to Madara's way of doing things and take over the leaf village.

Then:
Itachi and Danzou and Madara slaughtered the entire uchiha clan in a couple hours because the uchiha clan was plotting to go back to madara's way of doing things and take over the leaf village to run it exactly the way danzou thought it should be run.


Problems:
A) Itachi was weakened just after his encounter with kakashi, and later he was equally exhausted after his encounter with Jiraya.
If it took so much out of him, then how could he have taken out the entire uchiha clan all at once, even with Madara's help?
B) When he visited konoha he not only, didn't kill anyone, but seemed to take steps to avoid killing any leaf shinobi. Why? If Tobi was right and it was just a flex his muscle and ensure sasuke wasn't targeted, then a few dead bodies of some S-class Jounin/Anbu would make that point much more effectively than not killing anyone.
C)he met naruto, had the chance to capture him. But because they were alone, and I am making the complete assumption that he was sure they were alone, he didn't. He merely talked to him, and gave him a gift (whatever it is).
D) 2 villians apparently working directly against their own goals to slaughter the uchiha clan??


my standing theory on Itachi's Gift to Naruto, is that it's Itachi's memories, to finally give sasuke something he's never had before. The truth of the Uchiha massacre, that Itachi didn't kill his own clan, but he took the fall for it, for another reason. Most likely to go undercover to find Tobi, or Akatsuki. Remember they were active before orochimaru killed the third.

Side note, Bee tamed his bijuu, Naruto conquered his. the 8-tails' will isn't sealed separate from it's chakra. the 9-tails' is. hence the difference in transformations.

on your side note. Bee instructed Naruto on how he mastered his tailed beast. Bee did it the same way. So that's not the reason.

Close, but not quite.

Yes he did the same things Bee did, except that Bee didn't have Kushina's help, Naruto did. There were differences, and I'm saying that they took the same road but to different destinations.

lmao close, but not quite. I think they took different roads to the same locations. That location being the capture of the tailed-beast chakra.

Sorry wrong again, Naruto couldnt change the will of the kyuubi because it was so filled up with hatred, while the Hachibi was a more laid back type bijuu just like Killer-Bee and therefor changed its will. Naruto on the other hand is using is chakra thats all.

WTF are you talking bout? It wasn't about changing the will of the beast. It was about. Where does it say the 8 tails was chill and just changed its mind? Please don't approach me without facts.

Danzo wasn't part of the Uchiha massacre, he just ordered it. Itachi understood that if he didn't do what he was ordered that the clan would revolt and cause chaos and death in the village. While he didn't want to do it, he felt it was needed. Madara agreed to help because he hold a grudge against the Uchiha for abandoning him and signing a treaty with the Senju.


A.) Outside Itachi the Uchiha clan wasn't that strong. Also Itachi was a prodigy who was an ANBU Captain at what, age 13? It also has to do with how they took out the clan. They didn't charge at them head on, they waited until nightfall and then took them out one by one. Itachi being a member of ANBU was a master of assassination.


B.) Killing people was unnecessary to make his point. All he wanted to do was remind the elders that he was still alive. Itachi still very much cared for Konoha, hence why he wouldn't want to kill their shinobi.


C.) Agreed, he liked Naruto and understood that if Sasuke fell into the darkness that Naruto was the only one who could bring him back. That encounter was basically Itachi testing Naruto, and when he was satisfied with Naruto's answer he gave him the gift.


D.) Not sure what you're asking.



We don't know how exactly Bee tamed his beast. Though its likely that he did it in a different way. But that still doesn't explain why Naruto's transformation looks the way it does. Why would the 9-tails chakra give him the appearance of the Sage?
