Takatsuke Uzumaki's power release forms

During the course of the story Shadows of the Past Takatsuke Uzumaki has demonstrated different states of "power release"; in other words, in situations of extreme mental pressure he has somehow released a tremendous amount of chakra and raw power and used it to defeat his enemies.

Akashogan activated state
Not a true power release, triggering the Akashogan seems to activate Takatsuke's body in many ways, making it stronger, more agile and giving him enhanced chakra, as noted by Hotaku Kamateru. The "jump" in power Takatsuke experienced the first time he activated this dojutsu was larger in relation than the later ones; this signifying that the power released by the first Akashogan activation stays at least partially available even after the dojutsu is deactived.

Golden Chakra release state
This is the first "true" power release state of Takatsuke. This form appeared when Takatsuke was pinned down by a summoned wolf in the Forest of Death, and his comrades being attacked. In this state, Takatsuke is surrounded by a flowing aura of distinctive golden chakra, thick enough to be seen with the naked eye. Entering this state makes Takatsuke a lot more powerful, being able to defeat an entire team of well-versed missing-nin in a short time. His techniques also get a powerup, as he has demonstrated both Golden Rasengan and a powerful version of incomplete Takaken in this form. The golden chakra seems to react to Takatsuke's will, him being able to release a wave of it with a roar and mold a Rasengan with one hand only (he usually needs the assistance of a shadow clone). He has only seen to be able to enter this state in a fit of rage.
