"Uchiha…like Sasuke?" Naruto tilted his head.
"Yeah," Daiki nodded, "Back then, they got into a big ass fight and Madara left the village and went on a rampage across the continent. The Shodaime Hokage went to stop him and they got into a big fight, during which Madara enslaved the Kyuubi that was just minding its own business and hypnotised it with his sharingan and used it to fight the Shodaime Hokage. Suffice to say, Madara lost the fight and the Shodaime decided that the Kyuubi was too strong to let just walk around, so he subdued it and had his wife seal it inside herself. He then went and hunted down the other eight bijuu, beat the crap out of them and sealed them away as well and then gifted them to the other villages for some hippy peace crap. Well except the Ichibi, the one in that Gaara kid, the sand had already subdued that one themselves."
"Huh…?" Naruto gaped at him, "…What? No…wait, what? I don't understand, why do that?"
"For peace apparently," Daiki shrugged, "Like I said before, Jinchuuriki like us are superior to normal ninja. We're basically, when trained right, super ninja. The Shodaime was so god damn strong everyone was afraid of him, so he thought gifting them all the bijuu to make their own super ninja to act as weapons would make them feel more secure…I think."
Honestly, why he gave the Bijuu out, was a mystery to him, even after seeing it with his own eyes. He understood he wanted peaceful coexistence, but he didn't understand why he gave the Bijuu out beyond him having them at the time. Did he hunt the other Bijuu because he thought they were too powerful to let roam or because he wanted to use them as a gift?
That part wasn't expanded on at all.
'Personally, I'm not his biggest fan,' Isobu commented, 'I don't know what he was thinking. But, I was just relaxing in a nice big lake, sleeping actually when he came out of nowhere, dragged me out with that giant wood golem thing of his, beat me up, wrapped me up in giant wooden tendrils and had his wife seal me…in a jar of all things.'
…Yeah, that was the problem with hippies. They never saw anything beyond the vision in front of them. And they were always hypocrites in the end. He could appreciate Hashirama's vision and desires, but not his methods.
Quite frankly, the man had no idea what he was doing. If he wanted peace, Daiki had better ideas. In his place, he would have had Madara enslave the other Kage with his eyes like he did Yagura or how Obito did, either or. He would have had them preach friendly relations with Konoha and run the propaganda for them.
Which would have also placated Madara as well, at least partially.
And if he personally believed the Bijuu were too powerful to let roam, he wouldn't have sealed them in breakable objects or people. He would have created large sealed spaces, other dimensions, which he knew Mito should have been capable of from his own understanding of sealing and let them live out their lives there.
It would still be imprisoning them, but it would be better than the cramped ways inside a person and used as a weapon.
'We would have still resented you for subjecting us to your will, but again, a much better plan I do admit.' Isobu mused, 'Frankly, if things played out that way, this entire continent would most likely have become Konoha, unified under a single banner, even if it would not be perfect.'
Daiki shrugged inwardly, he never thought it would be. Perfection did not exist after all. If it did, he would already be it.
'Sure.' Isobu snorted.
"I…still don't get it, if what you say is right, then the reason you don't blame the Kyuubi is-?" Naruto rambled.
"Cuz I'd do the exact same thing if I was just enslaved, imprisoned and used as a god damn weapon just for existing," Daiki cut him off, then smirked, "In fact, the Kyuubi is kinder than me cuz in its place, I would have just aimed down with my strongest attack and blown up the entire village and I'll tell you this, the Kyuubi is well capable of creating an attack like that within ten or so seconds at most, if that."
Honestly, he was lowballing Kurama's ability there, he could probably do it in three.
'Two.' Isobu helpfully added.
Naruto's expression twisted into something…crushed. That was the only way he could describe it. He looked like Daiki had just stolen his crush and fucked her six ways to Sunday, then dropped her pleasure broken self at his feet covered and filled with cum.
'Pleasant.' Isobu helpfully added once more.
Daiki shrugged. It painted a vivid imagery at least.
"Of course…" Daiki continued, "This doesn't really help you all that much Naruto. The Kyuubi fucking hates us and if it ever does get out of you, it'll probably massacre most of Konoha in retribution, so good luck with that." he added.
Because that needed to be said. Naruto could sympathize with Kurama all he wanted, but he had to understand that Kurama hated them all for a very viable and understandable reason.
And unless Naruto punched him with the power of friendship and became buddy buddy with him, Kurama would sooner Bijuudama them than help them.
"…Then why are we going to meet the fox?" he asked, eyes lost.
"Cuz I wanna see what the big bad Kyuubi is like up close and personal and get a feel for its strength," Daiki lied with a shrug, "Even if it's only at half strength cuz of the Yondaime."
"Oh, did you not know that?" Daiki raised his eyebrows at the blonde, "Cuz you were just a baby, it seems the Yondaime wasn't sure you could contain the full power of the Kyuubi, so he used a forbidden jutsu called the Reaper Death Seal that sealed away half of the Kyuubi's strength inside his own body at the cost of his life."
"That was it at only half!?" Naruto's eyes flew wide open and he sputtered.
