Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the scenes where Naruto characters obtain a new form or power.

To be clear, we must see them acquiring it, so power-ups gained off-screen won't qualify.

You'd think someone as overpowered as Madara Uchiha wouldn't need a power-up at all. But when you plan to hypnotise the world with a giant eye on the moon, you gotta have that extra juice.

After nearly killing Naruto, Sasuke, and most of the revived Hokage,

Madara has the most casual, yet epic transformation ever. As he strolls along, he effortlessly absorbs the enormous tentails to become its Jinchuriki. His hair turns white, his skin pales, and his fit somehow gets even cleaner. The staff and balls orbiting him certainly don't hurt either. Only Madara could pull off a transformation with this much swagger.

Naruto and Sasuke may have been beaten initially by Madara, but they both make a comeback in style.

The duo receives new abilities from the Sage of the Six Paths. And sure, Sasuke also gets a new power at the same time, but a different eye is much less dramatic. Naruto dab-kicks one of Madara's orbs away and revives Gai from certain death. And he throws in a few new Rezengans for good measure.

To top it all off, in addition to his own new eye design,

Naruto also sports a new Chakra Cloak outfit. Madara doesn't know what he's in for.

Madara's apprentice also takes a turn at being the Tentail's Jinchuriki, and he beats the Elder Uchiha to it. Just when the Allied Shinobi forces think they've beaten

Obito Uchiha, the misguided villain reveals he's not down for the count. As he lies bleeding at the

Fourth Hokage's feet, Obito absorbs the Tentails. He shifts first into a kind of egg before hatching to reveal a sealed, horned version of the form Madara later perfects.

While Obito may not have as much drip as the other Tentails' Jinchuriki, the transformation itself is far more involved.

Sasuke has less prominent transformations than his rival Naruto, but he still gets a few impressive ones. After being discovered during his attempt to infiltrate the Kage Summit, Sasuke is attacked by the Raikage, in revenge for the apparent death of his brother. The speedy, muscular Kage delivers what seems to be a devastating power bomb on the Uchiha, only for Sasuke to reveal his Mangekyou Sharingan. His newly acquired eyes have gifted him an incomplete form of Susanoo. The ghostly, skeletal armour not only looks incredible and terrifying, it also helps Sasuke survive further devastating blows from the Raikage that would otherwise definitely be lethal.

Naruto's rage brings out a new level of the Nine Tails Chakra inside of him.

His six-tail form is angry, red, and surrounded by a partial skeleton. Naruto uses this form to beat the crap out of Hinata's would-be killer, Pain, for most of the episode.

However, even Pain forming a mini-moon around Naruto to crush him wasn't enough to stop his anger or transformations, as he unleashes a new form of the Nine Tails Chakra.

The six-tailed form of the Nine Tails Chakra can be seen in the final episode of the anime, where Naruto uses the six-tailed form of the Nine Tails Chakra to defeat Hinata.

To say Naruto's relationship with the Nine Tails has been contentious would be quite the understatement. However, Naruto is able to at last befriend the fox Kurama during a crucial moment on the battlefield. As he arrives in a flash, he deflects five massive attacks effortlessly, and also debuts a transformation so cool, Kakashi mistakes Naruto for his father.

But Naruto's glowing new get-up isn't the end of this transformation.

He follows it up by going into a full-on giant chakra fox form, and duking it out with the other tailed beasts. That's the power of teamwork.

Even after he becomes Hokage, Naruto isn't done with gaining new powers.

In the fight against Ishiki, Naruto is trapped. With no other option, he and Kurama agree on using a form of last resort, Baryon Mode. He then bursts out of his confines and touches down in front of Ishiki, saving his son and Sasuke from the villain and revealing his glorious new look.

Sporting a deep red chakra cloak and looking more fox-like than ever,

Naruto proceeds to drain the life force of his opponents by punching him. It's unfortunately a double-edged sword of a power-up, but that only makes Baryon Mode even more memorable in its sole appearance.

The first fight between Naruto and Sasuke sees both of them unleash every power they have against each other, while obtaining some new ones too. After Naruto is seemingly bested, the Nine Tails decides to grant him more chakra than ever before. Naruto rises with the aid of the chakra, and after decking Sasuke in the face, he becomes enveloped in an orange cloak. His first tailed transformation forces him to move on all fours. It's also able to manifest many clawed arms made of chakra, which prove overwhelming for Sasuke. The transformation is a standout part of a fight that's already full of fantastic moments.

2. Naruto First Uses The Nine Tails Chakra

You never forget your first power-up, and Naruto's initial transformation remains an iconic one.

During he and Sasuke's fight against Haku, his rival is apparently killed by the Rogue Mask Ninja.

Naruto is already a hothead, but the death of his friend sends his rage skyrocketing, allowing him to access the chakra of the fox inside him for the first time.

The orange aura coming off him, as well as Kakashi's fear upon feeling it, lend a sense of menace and dread that most of Naruto's other power awakenings can't equal.

A tragedy hounds the life of Obito Uchiha, and it's this particular moment that fuels the awakening of his most famous power. Obito's reunion with his friends Rin and Kakashi is cut short, along with Rin's life. Although Kakashi and Obito awaken the Manga-Kyo Shuriken, as a result of Rin's death, Kakashi passes out. Obito, meanwhile, decides to vent his grief at losing the girl he loves by slaughtering the Myst Ninja that were after Rin.

Obito's new eyes allow him to phase through all their attacks, and the ensuing battle is one of the darkest and most brutal fights in Naruto.

However, that has only ensured that Obito will never forget it.
