I've not read the manga series, so the question may be quite basic.
In an earlier discussion, it was said that the number of tails determines the power of the tailed beast. Since half the Nine-tail's chakra was sealed by the Fourth Hokage, does it mean that the Eight-tails now has more chakra than the Nine-tails?
It's not specified explicitly, but I think not.
Itachi told Kisame that the nine-tails had to be sealed last, because if it doesn't, the Gedo Mazo would be thrown out of balance, and break down. Akatsuki definitely knew about how the Kyuubi was sealed, because Tobi was there.
In the manga, Naruto together with the Nine Tails managed to fire a bijuudama of equal scale to that of the Two, Three, Four, Five, Six and Seven tails combined.
From those I conclude that even after half of him was sealed away, the Nine Tails still has more power than the rest of the tailed beasts, if not combined!
I don't have any evidence, but I always thought that each Tailed Beast was exponentially stronger than the previous. Something like 10x 1-tails = 1x 2-tail.
If anyone has evidence of this, edit it in the answer.
According to the questipon provided by JNat The equation could be like this: (x)t = beast w/ # of tails (Addition)
1t + 1t = 2t
1t+ 2(1t) = 3t
1t + 3(1t) + = 4t
...
1t + 8(1t) = 8t
1t + 9(1t) = 9t
9t/2 < 8t
In which case the 1/2 of Nine Tails wouldn't be stronger than the 8 tails. If it were like this, then the equation could be more like:
8! (8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1) = 8 tails
9! (9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1) = 9 tails
9t/2 > 8t
or it can be
8t = 7t + 6t + 5t ...
9t = 8t^x
9t/2 > 8t
x being the number of times stronger in which each tailed beast is stronger than the other.
This all depends on whether the tailed beasts are exponentially stronger than another or additionally strong
The eight tails can regenerate its lost limbs remember? But that regeneration does not apply to his horn that the raikage has cut. So that means the eight tails didnt lose 1/8 of its chakra. And also according to the manga when sasuke revived orochimaru, they took one of the uzumaki clans masks and orochimaru released the reaper death seal so that he can reanimate the previous 4 hokage. And since Minato used this jutsu to seal half of the nine tails, then the moment orochimaru released the technique is also the time when the nine tails power is restored. But since the power of the tailed beasts is measured by the number of their tails I could say that the eight tails is stronger than the nine tails if orochimaru did not release the technique but since he did then the nine tails is much stronger. But remember what I am saying is according to the manga. We do not know which story is going to be used either the story of the manga or the story of naruto shippuden ultimate ninja storm 3.
I think Kurama is much stronger. Having half of his chakra taken away and a bit from naruto he was still able to form a tailed beast ball powerful enough to match the other tails collaborated tail beast ball. 8 tails would have had no chance.
From what I have gathered it was his physical form that was not sealed, which is probably why in the anime his beast transformation is so different than Bees. Just chakara, no physical form to stand on.
Its because its matched with narutos stength he's by him self stronger then the 8 tails host so match that up with the rest of the nine tails and he's just epic
Kurama is stronger then all the other tailed beasts.
According to what Kurama says their power is determined by how many tails they have. With that he is implying that he is the strongest (which he is) and saying the one tailed Shukaku is the weakest of the 9 beasts.
That's why he hates Kurama.
