Eight-Span Chakra Mode

The Eight-Span Chakra Mode (八咫チャクラモード, Yata no Chakura Mōdo) is the final, and by far most powerful, transformation accessible to the of Yata-Garasu. It is a heightened form in which the user accesses a far greater amount of the ancient spirit's chakra than the previous forms. Unlike the other chakra modes associated with "true" Jinchūriki, the Eight-Span Chakra Mode does not result in the manifestation of a humanoid cloak composed of chakra. It, instead, cloaks the entirety of the body in a layer of chakra which then transfigures into a form which greatly resembles the Eight-Span Transformation.

As a whole, the Eight-Span Chakra Mode will supersede the attire that Katsumi is currently wearing, regardless of what it consists of, and will result in a crimson-hued, flowing "dress" with long sleeves. This garment is characterized by the presence of black feathers at every opening, giving it a "fashionable flair", even in the midst of battle. However, this "dress" is not simply a beautiful article of clothing, but a powerful defense whose capabilities far outmatch that of the Eight-Span Cloak.

In addition, the Eight-Span Chakra Mode manifests "claws" about Katsumi's hands. However, while the claws formed by the Eight-Span Transformation closely resemble those of the Yata-Garasu itself, these more closely resemble a human hand adorned with excessively longer fingernails. It is noted that, despite their appearance, these nails are as sharp as the finest blade and can stand toe-to-toe with a sword with little difficulty. On another note, the Eight-Span Chakra Mode also manifests wings, originating from upon Katsumi's shoulder blades, which are capable of sustained flight. These wings are stronger than those produced by the Eight-Span Transformation, as the slightest beat of these wings can result in levitation.

Finally, in terms of capabilities, the Eight-Span grants Katsumi an unparalleled increase in strength, speed, stamina, durability, and chakra. While within this form, many have mistaken her movements to have been composed of the Body Flicker Technique or some other Space-Time Ninjutsu, due to the sheer increase of swiftness. She has also demonstrated the ability to disassemble one or both of her "claws" into pure chakra, and then extend them as chakra arms. However, her usage of chakra arms is limited to only two, one for each of her existing arms. Lastly, Katsumi has demonstrated the ability to perceive chakra over long distances while in this form; and can even recognize a chakra signature at a glance.

While the exact limitations of this form have yet to be revealed, it is conjectured that they are exceptionally powerful and are remarkably higher than those of Katsumi's previous forms.
