Why did Naruto only have 3 Bijuu orbs behind him?

[Almighty Ra]

Sasuke stated that Naruto wasn't being serious about their battle. So yes he is holding back hence why only 3 truth seeker balls appear.

He has to gather the other 4 to make a wish

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!

Omg people, he lost them because he used to for sealing. Madara lost his too. Remember Madara had 9 of those things behind him but he ended up with only one when he was fighting Naruto and Sasuke. Remember he was using them to fight Gai,Minato and Kakashi. Minato teleported a lot of them back to Konoha. Madara could not regenerate them either. He was stuck with only one to fight with.

That's just assumption based on him not doing it yet. It's still possible.

He wasn't aware that the balls would disintegrate and he also doesn't know how to fully use them yet.

excertly .well said.

naruto is simply holding bak.

I don't think it's because Naruto is holding back, nor is it because once they are used they never come back. I think like a few others said. it just takes time to regenerate them. Like when Sasuke over uses his rinnegan he closes that eye up and has to wait a spell before he can use it again.

The reason we didn't see madara use his again was because he got defeated before he could regenerate them. In the case of Naruto only having 3 I think this is due to what Sasuke mentioned, him loosing his chakra. Perhaps 3 is the maximum he can produce at present until he can restore his chakra.
