Naruto and Domain Expansion don’t particularly belong together in the same sentence. However, in this case, the fanbase created an exceptionally unique fan art piece, which was a short animated video. This video showcased the aforementioned character performing one of the most powerful moves in the Jujutsu Kaisen series.

Seeing the Seventh Hokage perform Domain Expansion is quite bizarre. However, this particular fan-animated video (created by iBIJ anime on YouTube) saw the protagonist utilize the aforementioned technique to enhance his Talk no Jutsu.

This is a phrase that is rather popular among the anime and manga community since there were plenty of occasions wherein the antagonist would suddenly have a change of heart after having a conversation with the Seventh Hokage. The result was something incredibly funny and the entire fanbase absolutely loved it.

Why did fans react to Naruto using Domain Expansion in a fan-animated video?

The Domain Expansion technique is something that is quite popular in the Jujutsu Kaisen series. It’s an advanced barrier technique that activates their inner barrier and is infused with their Cursed Energy. Any technique activated within this barrier will surely hit the target. This particular concept was seamlessly fused with the protagonist of Masashi Kishimoto’s magnum opus.

Naruto as a character is known for his ability to relate with the circumstances of certain powerful antagonists. His words resonate with them, and they seem to have a change of heart.

This particular event took place on numerous occasions, which led to fans giving it a name: Talk no Jutsu. In this fan-animated video, we can see Naruto use the Domain Expansion.

This particular technique is used to enhance the efficacy of Talk no Jutsu. We can see Obito in his Ten-Tailed Beast Jinchuriki form. Within the Domain Expansion, we can see the Seventh Hokage create various clones. All of them played various instruments, such as the cello, flute, violin, piano, and guitar.

Together, the clones played “Sadness and Sorrow,” a soundtrack that is quite popular among fans of the animanga series. The speech commenced, and he managed to win over Obtio’s heart.
