If you believe that Naruto was using Kyubi Chakra just because of a melodramatic drawing of Naruto with changes in his appearance then, you guys can believe it.

So if the change in appearance hints at Naruto using Kyubi Chakra then I guess Naruto wasn't using Kyubi chakra during the Gaara fight. I mean when he summoned Gamabunta, he didn't show any feline characteristic. So he must have summoned Gamabunta out of his own Chakra. Well then damn, Naruto is getting very strong.

So I guess it wasn't just an overzealous artist.
*GASP!!* Holy crap, Hiten!! Naruto's Kyuubi chakra is FALLIBLE!! OMG IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT.


Anyway, it might be different in the manga (I haven't read in a long time), but in the anime, episode 78 and above, it clearly shows him summoning Gamabunta, without using the Kyuubi chakra. That also means, he summoned those thousands of bunshins against Gaara, too. No biggie though. He did do that before, too after all.

But yeah. Naruto used Kyuubi chakra against Kimimaro.
