1) when most people read the manga, im sure the first thing that came to their minds was that it WAS KYUBI....and that didnt really cause any confusionOriginally posted by: Hokage-IV
Kishimoto shouldve gone with 1tail, subconciously it will give false impression that was the actual ninetails. Theoretically, in our my minds we will compare Gamabunta henge version of ninetails power to Shukaku or for future reference.Originally posted by: AssertnFailure
if you're curious about the pig, watch a little farther in the intro and you'll see him again
the point of naruto transforming into a fox is that its the actual "demon fox".....which has 9 tails.....
its hard to see where the tails are in the manga cause you dont get a good view, but it would be pretty dumb to try to pull off a very symbollic event like this henge and then just barely miss the nail by making them transform into "just some regular fox"
2) to make it just a normal fox would ruin the type of reaction that im sure kishimoto had intended the viewers to have
3) henge is a ninjutsu, not genjutsu.....if gamabunta has kyubi's form, and naruto has kyubi's chakra.....then for all we know, the henge couldve resulted in a creature JUST as strong as kyubi
