Great Ape = 9-Tailed Beast Mode (Raaaaage)
Kaio-ken = Sage Mode (Calming of senses to obtain greater strength)
Super Saiyan = 9-Tailed Chakra (Anger-triggered, drastic increase in strength)
Super Saiyan 2 = 1-7 Tailed Mode (Extension of previous form)
Super Saiyan 3 = 8-Tailed Mode (During Pain battle; Maximum extension of power short of full release)
Super Saiyan 4 = Perfected 9-Tailed Mode (Post-Bee training; Control of 9-Tailed's full power)
SSJ4 Fusion = Omni-Tailed Mode (Current situation; most likely won't last for long)

Kamehameha = Rasengan

It all makes sense.

The growth in Naruto isn't quite a linear increase in power like it was for most of the core characters (except Gohan) in DBZ. For example, Naruto was able to use a number of the tails before learning Sage Mode. And using more tails isn't strictly more powerful than sage mode. It's more of a sidegrade than a pure upgrade (i.e. resistance to Chakra absorption, inability to mass shadow clone, etc...).

This has been Naruto's most powerful ability throughout the entire series.

The feral rage comes from them being abused by humans throughout the centuries.

Of course they were friendly with the sage, they LOVED him. And they see the sage in Naruto, as someone who truly values them not for their power, but for their friendship.

I thought the tailed beasts are giant balls of energy that radiates destruction. The Naruto wiki states
The Tailed Beasts (尾獣, Bijū) are nine giant monsters that serve to drive the plot of the Naruto series. They are differentiated by the number of tails they have, ranging from one to nine. The tailed beasts are large, living forms of chakra, sometimes referred to as "Chakra Monsters" (チャクラのバケモノ, Chakura no Bakemono),[1] giving them power that far outmatches most shinobi. However, this immense strength is tempered by their bestial nature, which restricts them from being intelligent enough to use it effectively. As such, when the tailed beasts are sealed within humans, they are able to benefit from the knowledge of their hosts, giving them the ability to better utilise their powers.[2] In the anime, all the tailed beasts' chakra is coloured red.

Here we see the beasts humanized and personified. They seem to get along and are pretty human. They seem suddenly to have daddy issues and are talking to eachother like siblings. Where's the feral rage that we've become used to seeing? You can't tell me the tailed beasts have been mentally sound all this time and the entire ninja world has been totally oblivious to it. If people knew the beasts have such human personalities, then befriending them would have been hell of a lot more efficient than sealing them away and spending generations attempting to create vessels that can utilize their power. They would be more like a summoned pet like the frogs and slugs and snakes and what not. I really don't like how the beasts are being portrayed.

Most likely they were kind of pissed off at being treated as weapons and sealed up, so they just rampaged around when they had the chance. Since so few people actually came into contact with them, its not surprising that so little is known about them. It's probably better for the village governments, otherwise PETA would get on their asses.

That's the point, there's no such thing as a PETA. The wars involving these animals were giant and with tons of participants, so how in the world were there no contact? They should have made themselves known, if not to the enemy, at least to their captors. Every single one of these Jinchurikis KNOW their beasts, so we know communication is possible with all of them. Were every single one of their predecessors total assholes that did nothing but insult the beasts that reside inside them? Is that what Naruto's mother did? In case anyone reading don't get my point, the tailed beasts, given their history, can't possibly all be sentient beings. Maybe the fox and the octopus can be the exception if only for the sake of the story, but we can't have every single one of these creatures be so "human". This last chapter makes no sense.

They were visible, but they didn't communicate. Maybe after a few hundred years or whatever, they just gave up on trying to talk to Jinchuruuki who looked at them as giant chakra batteries.

You don't really know how the seals worked for the tailed beasts either. I mean, look at how Gaara was.

You do realise the stuff in the wiki is taken from whatever is revealed in the manga ? Its pretty simple, the tailed beasts have had the same problems that an antagonist like say.. Nagato does, you know.. villain by circumstance. A pretty convenient motif for shounen manga. Thats where our hero comes in and does what no one ever tried to do thats why hes the hero. Thats precisely what the manga is trying to tell you, that after a probable period of strife with humans (and amongst themselves as ventured by the eight tails aswell) its just a broader longer lived story of what Naruto overcomes himself as a kid. Maybe at some point the boundaries drawn between them and humans had become so vast no one bothered to do it till Naruto, hence destined child etc etc. So no maybe the people they tied to werent assholes but neither they nor the beasts were inclined to improve relationships. Its not that unrealistic. I mean you could make the same argument to people going to war.. "why cant we just all talk it out and get along?" thats lazy and overly simplistic and unfortunately rarely happens even in real life, so why not here, where is the painful inconsistency ?

Its not particularly interesting but based on the kind of story its trying to tell its sound enough. Id just not overthink it, its not really worth it.
