Before we discuss who this mode fights, let’s see how it works.

As we have seen in terms of appearance, in Baryon Mode Kurama’s tail escapes Naruto’s, with ears and orange highlights on the body and face. As for strength, at this time Naruto’s body is like a nuclear reactor, Naruto and Kurama’s chakra are consumed as raw materials to create a new type of energy.

When used, Baryon Mode greatly increases Naruto’s reflexes, speed, and strength to the point of surpassing Isshiki’s abilities. Because it uses so much power, it can deplete Kurama and Naruto’s life energy. However, because all chakra is interconnected, their enemies’ life energy can also be drained.

Baryon Mode is effective against enemies that do not possess much chakra

Because of the above characteristics, enemies that do not have strong defenses and do not possess much chakra are suitable for fighting with Baryon Mode. The reason is because Naruto also has a time limit to use this state. If he continues, the Nine-Tails will die. Therefore, whoever runs out of chakra first will die first, like Isshiki Otsutsuki.

And almost all ninjas in the ninja world today are under Isshiki’s power. I think that even enemies who use techniques that endanger his own life are at risk when facing Baryon Mode. For example, if one day an enemy appears who can use the Eight Gate Armor, Baryon Mode can cut his life time, causing him to die faster.

Baryon Mode is ineffective against opponents that can regenerate and possess unlimited chakra

Baryon Mode is really powerful, but it also has many weaknesses. Kurama himself states that under normal conditions, the user of this state will die first from running out of chakra before his opponent dies.

This will be even more difficult if the opponent can regenerate or even possesses almost unlimited chakra, such as Madara or Kaguya. The reason is because they are strong and almost immortal, Naruto can lose first in battle if he uses Baryon Mode. Therefore, the situation is that Naruto can hardly defeat Kaguya or Madara if he uses this state because after Kurama dies from exhaustion, the enemy can still hold out.

Baryon Mode cannot be used multiple times and combined with other moves

Because of its side effects, Baryon Mode can only be used once in Naruto’s life. Technically, Naruto can actually die if he continues to use this mode or when using many unnecessary moves in this form because simple moves will drain a lot of chakra that is converted into power .

Perhaps that’s also why this form never appeared or was suggested by Kurama when they fought Madara or Kaguya. Because at that time Naruto still had Hagoromo’s chakra and it seemed this form was not suitable to fight them.

Above is an analysis of the enemies that Naruto’s Baryon Mode can and cannot fight against. This state can defeat dangerous people like Isshiki, but against enemies weaker than him.
