Mecha Naruto

Mecha Naruto (メカナルト) is a mechanised replica of Uzumaki Naruto. He appears in the anime-exclusive episode of Naruto Shippuuden, and in Naruto Shippuuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution.

Background
In the game, Tsunade states Mecha Naruto was created by a "certain someone" as a weapon of destruction to rule the world. Mecha Naruto eventually went berserk and killed his creator. Mecha-Naruto refers to his creator as "Professor". In the anime, Orochimaru is responsible for Mecha Naruto's creation. He was designed as a means to capture Kurama and interfere with the plans of Akatsuki.

Personality
In the game, Mecha Naruto seems to be a smart and strategic fighter. He dislikes Naruto for looking like him and "stealing" his name and he mocks him. He thinks that Hyuga Hinata has a beautiful heart and listens to whatever she says. Later on after Naruto saves him, he comes to actually like Naruto but he still thinks of him as his rival.

In anime, Mecha Naruto is shown originally to be savage, mindlessly attacking everything in its path. While initially having no loyalty, after Nagato repaired and reprogrammed it, Mecha Naruto became committed to capturing Kurama for Akatsuki. It was relentless in its pursuit of Kurama, destroying everything that got in its way. Despite this programming, Itachi secretly installed an extra programming: if Naruto was to voice his devotion to saving Sasuke from his anger, Mecha Naruto would side with Naruto. After this programming activated, Mecha Naruto became driven to help Naruto in battle, willing sacrificing itself to protect Naruto's village.

Appearance
Overall, Mecha-Naruto looks similar to Naruto with bolts all over his body holding him together.

Abilities
In mechanized variations, Mecha Naruto possesses most of Naruto and Kurama's abilities, such as the Rocket Rasengan and a mechanical variant of the Tailed Beast Ball. Additionally, it can also shoot rays with its "eyes", after targeting the opponent. It can also merge itself with a huge mechanism to form Mecha-Kurama (メカクラマ). He is able to switch minds with his opponents. He can make up to three clones of himself that explode when they are touched. He is also well versed in taijutsu, using jets to make his punches and kicks even more powerful. He can also run at incredible speeds; faster than the average shinobi.
