After his victory over Madara, Hashirama's wife Mito Uzumaki sealed the fox within herself, becoming its first jinchūriki. The epic battle left a colossal scar in the earth that would come to be called the Valley of the End. Īfter Madara Uchiha's defection from Konohagakure, he found Kurama and used his Sharingan to control it, forcing the fox to help him fight against Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage. However, the two brothers survived and gained some of its power by eating the flesh of its stomach for two weeks, forcing Kurama to regurgitate them. ĭuring the time of the founding of the shinobi villages, the Gold and Silver Brothers of Kumogakure were assigned to capture Kurama, but were both swallowed whole by the fox. Over time, Kurama gained a fearsome reputation as a natural disaster that can desolate areas where the darkest aspects of human nature collect and fester. In the anime, before his death, Hagoromo sent Kurama to live in a temple built for the purpose of protecting it in a forest region with mountains that would later become part of the Land of Fire. He also foretold of a day when they would be brought together again - though not as they were - and that at that time someone would emerge to show them what true power is. Some time after being created, the Sage explained to the young tailed beasts that a link existed between them despite their separation. Kurama and the tailed beasts first came into being in the waning days of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, who used his Creation of All Things Technique to divide the Ten-Tails' chakra into nine separate bodies and giving each a name.

After being sealed into Naruto Uzumaki, Kurama attempts to maintain its cynical perspective about the world, but with Naruto's insistence on treating it with respect, the fox overturns its hatred and willingly strives to use its power for the world's salvation. Centuries of being regarded as a mindless monster and sought after as a tool for war caused Kurama to hate humans. Kurama ( 九喇嘛, Kurama), more commonly known as the Nine-Tails ( 九尾, Kyūbi), was one of the nine tailed beasts. Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow
