No. It's obviously a shockwave created from Naruto's movement's as depicted in the scan provided by OP seeing that he is seen moving his arm from one point to another which seems to have created a barrier above them that negated the attack targeted at them.
Really now? How many times is someone going to have to crush all of your points before you finally stop spreading them around here thinking that you make any sense?
1. The sheer notion of Naruto being able to make shockwaves that powerful in Base with the swing of his arm is nonsense.
2. Even if he could make a shockwave, why the hell would it appear to look EXACTLY like a claw?
3. The claw is a physical object, and it was shown to move as Naruto moved his hand. No barrier works like that. No shockwave works like that.
Stop grasping at straws. It just makes you and the rest who back this look more and more foolish.
We don't know for sure but you're probably right about the shading. I honestly wish he used BM at that point so the there'd be no speculation on this.
It's just very inconsistent. He doesn't need to move in order to use it. Unless he's PT'ing part of the Paw. Even then that in itself is stupid.
I doubt there's going to be a databook and I doub't i'm going to be around when it gets animated so I'm just gonna leave it at that.
It reminds me about that debate on whether that line was Fukasaku's Tongue or suiton.
Yes, he does. It's not a chakra arm. Every time he's made a claw in the Manga he's had to move it as it was sort of attached to him. He did the same against Kaguya and against Obito. This is just a larger version of that.
