shodaime and i tooked about three days for this theory...
Naruto is supposed to be Jounin level by now and yet he only knows how to manipulate Wind chakra. If he is to catch up to Sasuke then he has to learn how to recompose at least 2 elements. I'm not saying he should get a Kekkei Genkai, I'm just saying that for Naruto's level he should have learnt at least 2 elements not just one. Sasuke can recompose lighting element and use fire jutsus.
Now we recently heard of something called Yin and Yang chakra from Jiraiya and the Frog Scroll. So I went back a few chapters and i found that Yamato mentioned something similar. This makes me wonder, should Naruto focus on getting other elements or learn how to recompose the Kyuubi's chakra?
The thing is Naruto's chakra and the Kyuubi's are one so its almost impossible to draw out the chakra he was born with without some of the Kyuubi's chakra slipping out. So Naruto seems to have no choice, but to learn how to recompose the Kyuubi's Chakra.
THE KYUUBI'S YIN AND YANG: WHERE IS IT?
Both the Kyuubi's yin and yang are sealed within Naruto.
Here's the proof:
Jiraiya: "Minato only sealed the Kyuubi yin chakra using the Shiki Fuujin." The Kyuubi yin chakra is sealed BEHIND the Shiki Fuujin seal not inside the Death God's belly. Its in this seal that the Kyuubi yin chakra is sealed. This is represented in Naruto's subconscious as a huge gate enclosed by a "seal", the Shiki Fuujin.

Jiraiya: "The very reason Minato went through the trouble of splitting the Kyuubi chakra into two... only sealing the yang chakra in Naruto was so that could leave it for Naruto"
So the yang chakra is also sealed but is sealed within Naruto's body. Both the Kyuubi's yin and yang is sealed within Naruto but was splitted up. His yin was sealed away behind the Shiki Fuujin seal while his yang was sealed within Naruto's body so that Naruto could use its power.
There's no arguement that Naruto is a jinchuruuki, but he's a special case. How the Kyuubi was sealed is complexed. It was so complex that even a Key to the seal was made and left. Kyuubi yang chakra is mixing or more so merge with Naruto's chakra. Jiraiya's first comments of the seal told us that its was meant to do this.
The seal keeping Kyuubi's yin chakra back is slowly weakening. Meaning that Naruto is slowly gaining all the Kyuubi chakra yin and yang. The yang is the dominant chakra and is the one mixed with Naruto's. The weakening seal is allowing the yin, who Kyuubi is in control of, mix with the yang chakra already in Naruto.
Naruto's battle with Oro adds to this because the nature and feeling of Naruto's chakra changes.
Naruto's tail form was never supposed to be. It is a sign that Naruto is losing control of the Kyuubi. Because of this lost of control the Kyuubi takes the form of the Kyuubi to find a medium/balance more similar to the Kyuubi since he slowly gaining control.
Yamato states this in his observation of their battle. So Naruto's concious is pushed aside and he becomes Kyuubi when he has 4 tails.
All Naruto's Kyuubi forms that has been shown are Naruto the dominant person but not in control over the Kyuubi chakra, to where Naruto is pushed aside and the Kyuubi takes over when Naruto goes 4-tails.
THE MISCONCEPTION ABOUT THE KYUUBI'S YIN AND THE SHIKI FUUJIN
You might be saying Naruto does not have both the Kyuubi's yin and yang. Some believe the yin is inside the Death God's belly.
The caster of the Shiki Fuujin has various options. A caster could seal a target in the Death God's belly OR place the seal on a container and seal the target behind the Shiki Fuujin seal. Some believe all targets sealed with Shiki Fuujin goes inside the Death God's belly. That is a misconception. Naruto is a special case because Minato used a complex sealing technique which splitted the Kyuubi's chakra into yin and yang, sealing the yang inside Naruto and sealing the yin behind the Shiki Fuujin seal WHICH IS ALSO IN NARUTO'S BODY.
See what happens when the caster has the Death God seal the target into yourself:
Sarutobi does demonstrate what Shiki Fuujin does do, but people keep on forgetting that Sarutobi planned on taking the Shodai, Nidaime, and Orochimaru with him while Minato planned on entrusting the Kyuubi to Naruto from the very beginning to make his son a jinchuuruki. THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE.
MINATO'S SHIKI FUUJIN: A COMPLEX SEALING TECHNIQUE
Naruto's case is very unusual because this type of sealing is very complex, and Naruto is the only person in the entire world who has ever undergone the process.
Bijuus are nothing more than massive formations of chakra. BIJUUS HAVE NO PHYSICAL FORM, UNLIKE HUMANS WHO HAS BOTH BODY (PHYSICAL) AND SOUL (SPIRITUAL). But still since the Kyuubi is just a massive form of chakra, THIS CHAKRA CONSISTS OF YIN AND YANG.
Now, we haven't had an explanation on how yin and yang works yet, so as of right now, I'm going to make a very reasonable case. Yin = Spiritual energy, and Yang = physical energy Chakra.
The foundation of jutsus can be expressed through flow, form, or element manipulation. This is what has been given to the audience. These terms and principles help us understand just what is going on and breaks things down to a more logical base.
Research and studies and in-manga evidence can define those three major principles. We can get into such talk later. But first I would like to analyze the concept of "yin and yang." Yes, the topic few would dare to consider because so little of it has been discussed.
Well, first I would like to debunk the usual misconception that the term yin and yang are defined as opposites. They are not absolute opposites. It is not a light and dark, positive nd negative, or good and evil relationship. The idea of yin and yang is that one is the seed of the other. There is no harmony without the other.
It is like the heads and tails of a coin, different sides, same coin. Without the heads, or without the tails, the coin has no value.
So it should be understood that yin and yang are not opposites, and are, in fact, heavily intertwined around the other. With that clarified, a better picture of how it is resembled in the Naruto world can come into view.
ch17 p18
When the idea of elemental properties was recently explained to be an essential skill for ninjas, the audience was baffled and proclaimed "why hadn't Kishimoto made mentioning of such things before?" The complaints and confusion were easily quieted with text from this page, showing that the idea of elements have long been apart of chakra use.
It is the same with yin and yang. They have long been apart of chakra use. If you look at that picture, there is another panel getting into the foundations of chakra. The converging of spiritual and physical energy to get chakra. The two are one, in the sense that both are required to create chakra. They are intertwined. What am I getting at is spiritual energy is yang and the physical energy is yin.
The logic to this may sound discomforting to some, so I'll use a more convincing illustration.
ch17 p16
As you can see, in the last panel, the yin and yang symbol is used respectively for the body and spiritual aspects of creating chakra. Kishimoto is not a fool. Just like the concept of elemental properties, yin and yang has long been implemented in the equation of it all.
Is it safe to go on? With such analysis, is it safe to have yin and yang be the body and spiritual properties to creating chakra? With that understood, I will try to come to terms of how it can be used.
It seems to me, that the chakra system has an hourglass path.
. A bijuu's "soul" is its yin chakra, and its "body" would be its yang chakra.
Naruto has two seals on him: Shiki Fuujin and Hakke no Fuujin-Shiki. Shiki Fuujin only sealed the yin, and what was left Hakke no Fuujin-Shiki was used to seal the yang into Naruto's own body. There are only 2 plausible locations for where the Kyuubi's yin chakra is housed:
1. The stomach of the Death God.
2. The Shiki Fuujin seal itself.
One doesn't make sense because Naruto has Shiki Fuujin on him (Sarutobi had the Shiki Fuujin seal on his body plus he intended to seal the souls of Nidaime and Shodaime INSIDE THE DEATH GOD'S BELLY, but Minato did not intend to seal the Kyuubi inside the Death God's belly, he sealed it INSIDE NARUTO), so which leaves the second option. Two makes sense if you consider Tsunade's regeneration seal used for her trump card, which seals/stores her chakra INSIDE THE SEAL ON HER FOREHEAD, similar to the yin chakra sealed INSIDE THE SHIKI FUUJIN SEAL.
To put it simply, Minato sealed the Kyuubi's yin and it is locked away within the Shiki Fuujin seal itself. Afterwards, he proceeded to seal the Kyuubi's yang chakra into Naruto's own body with Hakke no Fuujin-Shiki.
NARUTO HARNESSING THE KYUUBI'S FULL POWER: CONTROL OF YIN AND YANG
I just cant see how Naruto can take on someone like Pein, including his 7 Bijuus with a new rasengan or more clones. Only someone like Shodai or Minato can accomplish something of that caliber.
Naruto is light years away from that kind of power, but there is a short cut and that is the Kyuubi. ( He doesnt have time to wait the world depends on it).
Its not that I dont believe Naruto can't develop the skill to take on Pein and his 7 or 8 Bijuu, its just that there is no human who can fight a supposed God and seven Bijuus at the same time without some sort of divine intervention (Kyuubi) lol.
The form he took against Kakuzu is the only time Naruto was in complete control over the Kyuubi chakra. There was no sign of visual chakra, and no sinister or evil feeling emitting from him. The only sign that he was using Kyuubi charka was his eye went Kyuubi. Hell Naruto's personality even stayed the same. He wasnt berserk like he normally gets when he goes Kyuubi.
This is why Jiraiya focused mainly on controlling the Kyuubi's chakra in Naruto's 2 and a half-year training instead of other skills. This shows that Jiriaya knew what he was doing and i believe Yamato and Kakashi will discover this later on. It's time they realize that Naruto's chakra and the Kyuubi's are one and no matter what the Kyuubi's chakra will always sip out when Naruto attempts to draw his own out.
The Kyuubi is Naruto's power. Lets be realistic here. Naruto's chakra is the only chakra that can withstand the corrosive nature of the Kyuubi's chakra (kinda like YIN & YANG). I repeat THE ONLY chakra that can do that.
That itself should mean that Naruto is the only one meant to control that horrible power and put it to good use.
Minato wouldn't have put the Kyuubi in his own son if he knew it was something that wasn't beneficial ( it was his son. His only son for crying out loud). Minato wanted Naruto to make the Kyuubi his power.
He wanted it to be a tool just like the way a sharingan is considered a tool. That's why entrusting that kind of power to his son was worth dying for.
CONCLUSION
Controlling the Kyuubi's yin and yang can only be achieved by Naruto's own strength and will, so bottomline is Naruto's own power and determination to recompose the Kyuubi's yin and yang would be the key to controlling it.
In the end Naruto is not the "Destined Child" because he's the holder of the 9-Tailed Fox. He's the Destined Child because he's Naruto, the son of The Fourth who trained under the Legendary Sannin Jiraiya.
