[Spoilers] Naruto's enhanced moves

[Jediah]

good point about being able touch the fox.

Three things comes to mind that could explain this..
1. They fighting in naruto's mind. Things like physical dmg may affect naruto differntly in this new mind battle arena kishi has shown us in recent chapters.

2. As noted by Yamato during confession of hurting sakura, he noted naruto's mysteryous abilty to endure the fox's chakra. There may be other reasons why the his dad sealed the fox in naruto. Maybe it has something to with his mother or her clan.

3. Maybe sage mode is preventing any physical dmg like burns from the fox's chakra when comes in contact with the fox.

We may learn more about why the forth choose his son other than fathers love. His mothers apperance in this chapter really makes things intresting.

I know!

Meeting his mother - where the hell did that come from?

It's almost like she her memory had been planted inside the fox's chakra - like the 4th had another hidden message planned for Naruto in case he ever got this far...

It could be that She had Herself sealed inside Naruto to prevent the Fox from taking over a child that had no personality or will of His own yet. That comes with time. Otherwise the Fox would have simply taken over the body of Naruto sines His mind was a tabla rosa Latin for a clean unused Mind.
