Twelve years before the story, the Nine-Tails attacked Konoha and the Fourth Hokage sealed it into the newborn Naruto. A ninja with a tailed beast sealed inside is called a jinchūriki and usually lives shunned out of fear of that beast. Gaara, Shukaku's jinchūriki, faces Naruto during the invasion of Konoha when the beast takes its full form. Tailed beasts are entities with a will of their own, not a human clan.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-135","pos":135},{"h":"Jinchūriki and the Akatsuki's hunt","t":"In Shippūden, the Akatsuki hunts down every jinchūriki to extract their tailed beast, which kills the host. Gaara, Kumogakure's Yugito Nii and others fall one after another; the Three-Tails, which was roaming free, is captured too. The leader explains that he wants to gather the beasts' power to control war. Killer B, the Eight-Tails' jinchūriki, is the opposite case: he fully controls his beast and treats it as a partner.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-413","pos":413},{"h":"Names and personalities","t":"In the war, the tailed beasts stop being mere weapons. Son Gokū, the Four-Tails, demands to be called by his name, and the Nine-Tails reveals to Naruto that its name is Kurama. Naruto then meets them all: Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu, Son Gokū, Kokuō, Saiken, Chōmei, Gyūki and Kurama. Kurama remembers that the Sage of Six Paths gave them those names and told them someone would one day understand them. Each tailed beast has a different character and bonds of its own with its jinchūriki.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-572","pos":572},{"h":"The Ten-Tails and its origin","t":"The nine tailed beasts come from a single creature: the Ten-Tails. The masked enemy revives it in the middle of the war and Obito becomes its jinchūriki. Later, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki tells Naruto that he split the Ten-Tails' chakra into nine parts to create the tailed beasts, and that the Ten-Tails is tied to Kaguya and the Divine Tree. So the Ten-Tails is not the beasts' older sibling in a biological sense, but the origin they were split from.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-670","pos":670},{"h":"Tailed beasts in the Boruto era","t":"In Boruto, Kara secretly raises a young Ten-Tails. To beat Isshiki, Naruto uses Baryon Mode with Kurama, which burns up both their energy, and Kurama dies after the fight. Code, for his part, creates the Claw Grime from the Ten-Tails' power. With Kurama's death, Naruto keeps his life but loses his partner and much of his power.","lvl":2,"ch":"boruto-72","pos":772},{"h":"The fate of the Ten-Tails and Kurama","t":"In Two Blue Vortex, the Ten-Tails Code was keeping turns into Divine Trees with human form and minds of their own. One of them, Jura, follows the Nine-Tails' chakra to Himawari: Kurama has been reborn inside Naruto's daughter. It is the beast's rebirth, not something passed from father to daughter, and its relationship with Himawari starts from scratch. Its chakra makes Himawari a direct target of the Divine Trees, and she uses it to demand that Jura stop.","lvl":3,"ch":"tbv-10","pos":790}],"characters":["shukaku","matatabi","isobu","son-goku","kokuo","saiken","chomei","gyuki","kurama-biju","jubi"],"related":["chakra","kumogakure","alianza-shinobi","guerras-ninja"],"reference":"Official series and chapter guides as reading context.
