Very young Naname developed ability to dominate two distinct elements (Wind and Fire) and with seven years, shocked all his family by showing that was skillful in mastering the Typhoon Release kekkei genkai. Despite being prohibited by his parents to practice the kekkei genkai, Namane resorted to secret trainings with his sensei to hone his skills with the Typhoon Release and to everyone's surprise (as was expected of those who tried to dominate this technique), he didn't die.

Then, as had already been banned from Invasions Squad, Naname decided to fight against the jinchūriki host of the Gobi and extract himself the Bijū from him. It was an epic fight that Naname had to use all his skills with the Taiton (especially when the jinchūriki lost control over Kokuō). After seven hours of intense battle and an area completely devastated, Naname having had his left arm cut off and several serious injuries. As a last breath, Naname tried to seal the Five Tails in his body and thus die with the beast. But Kokuō, even wounded, managed to get rid of the barrier formed by Naname and so kill him.
