It was early one Tuesday afternoon, nine years after the Kyuubi's attack on Konoha that Hiruzen Sarutobi received an unusual message from the hospital. Now, Sarutobi had been to the hospitalmany times over the past few years, many of them being to visit Naruko Uzumaki, the Kyuubi's container, after either the 'birthday hunts' or one of her pranks going wrong. However, today's summons was different, as not only was Naruko awake, she was also uninjured, but seemed to have an urgent need to talk to her grandfather figure.
Upon his arrival, Sarutobi was notified that Naruko was in her special medical suite, which had been setup so that Naruko could stay safe while in the hospital. Sarutobi knock then entered the room to find Naruko with her eyes closed and worried expression on her face. A few moments later, Naruko opened her eyes and smiled sadly at Sarutobi. "Hi, Ji-ji. We have a problem." She said. Sarutobi remained silent waiting for Naruko to continue, while wondering what the problem was. The Kyuubi, as it turned out, was female and had been acting as Naruko's mother for several years, after one of the birthday hunts, so she wasn't a problem. As a tear rolled down her cheek, Naruko continued. "Kyuubi-chan is dying."
At that, Sarutobi was shocked. It was believed that the Biju were impossible to kill. But now it appeared that the strongest of all the Biju was dying. "Ji-ji, Kyuubi and all her sisters are dying." Now Sarutobi was amazed, all of the Biju were dying. Collecting his thoughts, he asking Naruko the next logical question. "Naruko, how are they dying?" She replied with a sad smile. "You're asking the wrong question Ji-ji." Sarutobi paused for a moment and rethought his question before speaking again. "Naruko, why are they dying?" To this question, Naruko looked him in the eyes before answering. "It's a failsafe. When Kyuubi and her sister were first made from the Juubi, they decided to never let that Juubi live again. So if someone both powerful enough to control them and evil enough to want to bring Juubi back attacks one of them, they all start to eliminate themselves, one tail per year for nine year until they are all gone. Today it happened. The failsafe activated. Someone evil has control over one of my fellow containers. And in nine years, Kyuubi will die, as the last of the original Biju."
Naruko stood up and went the sink in the room to get some water while Sarutobi thought over what had been said. Sarutobi, after a few moments of thought, notice three odd points in what Naruko said. "Naruko, before I return to my hell known as paperwork, I noticed three points I need you to clarify for me. First, you said that they could never let that Juubi live again, not 'the' Juubi, 'that' Juubi. Next, you mentioned Kyuubi will be the last of the original Biju. What other Biju are there? And lastly, with their Biju gone, what will happen to the container?" Naruko having finish her drink turned to face Sarutobi and give him her answers. "The answers are all connected, so I'll start with the containers. The answer is nothing. They'll still have their power, just no Biju to go with it. As for the other Bijus, I'm afraid as I'm the most powerful container, I have to create new, sane, Biju to replace the old ones so that the lack of Biju doesn't affect the rest of the planet. And last, but not least, and by far the most important, the reason that I refered to the Juubi as that is because in ten years, meaning a year after Kyuubi finally dies, I am going to become the new Juubi.
