Theory - Naruto, without the Kyuubi, could potentially go into V2 mode

There is a stark difference in having some chakra, and eating a part of the beast's flesh. One instance, Naruto has the whiskers as a result of having the Kyuubi's influence since birth. Kinkaku and Ginkaku actually consumed the beast's flesh and gained a portion of its ability. Naruto's ability to transform is only due to the Kyuubi still being in him. Now, the flesh K/G ate is an actual part of them. So they can go V2 w/o Kyuubi actually being inside them, but Naruto cannot.

*Might I suggest that the whiskers you saw on Naruto's baby face was left over influence from the beast and nothing more. If he hadn't have been a jinky since that day and on, then the whiskers would have just gone away. Notice that neither Kushina nor Mito had this effect. Since Naruto was so young it DID alter his DNA slightly, but not on the level of Kinkaku or Ginkaku.

Nice theory but the whiskers Ginkaku and Kinkaku have are more prominent thus showing they have more of the Kyuubi's chakra than Naruto which means they can go V2. This is only due to the brothers having direct contact with Kurama, Naruto hasn't had that so he may be able to use some of Kurama's chakra but I don't think he'd be able to go V2.

So pretty much, the only reason Ginkaku & Kinkaku can go V2 is due to them directly consuming Kurama's flesh thus making Kurama a part of Gin & Kin without them being hosts.

Naruto's intake of Kurama is different than theirs though. Besides the time he spent in the womb, Kurama's chakra is suppose to leak in naturally with Naruto. So while he might have the level of chakra and ability he won't neccessarily look like that form.

Great thinking, and nice theory! I also noticed that the two brothers had whiskers as well, but never reall thought anything of it until now.

It kinda would make sense that Naruto could use and manipulate Kyubbi chakra even if the source is not available anymore.
