Its powers were originally weak, the members of the Kusanagi clan, when attacking it, acted carelessly, using the legendary sword Kusanagi no Tsurugi (Orochimaru's sword). Because of that, as a consequence, Yamata no Orochi takes the sword from them, absorbing the power contained inside, and storing it in its body. With the new power, Yamata no Orochi releases an insane amount of dark energy, awakening the other Bijuu and becomes arrogant.

Kyuubi no Youko (Kyuubi no Kitsune)
Tail Number: Kyu or Nine

Symbolic Element: Fire
Ability: Fire, wind, earth, and water element attacks, Flaming claws, massive strength, near unlimited power.

Status: Sealed in Naruto

This is a bijuu in the shape of a nine-tailed fox, and the strongest of them all. The reason he is so powerful is simple: Kyuubi has an unlimited amount of power, earning him the "King of Bijuu" title. Because he has never been defeated by any youkai, his total strength is unable to estimate. His tails create cyclones by spinning quickly, and Kyuubi proceeds to rip his enemies with his huge claws. At the same time his fur may shoot fireballs similar to meteorites endlessly, instantly destroying villages. It is speculated that he can control all of the elements, though the only comment to this is:

A/N: I spent a lot of time collecting this info from various sites, FF. Net is not among them. Your welcome to use it, just make sure you list where you got it. Note the fact this is NOT a real legend, though a lot of the beasts are built from the combination of real legends and imagination. So if there is something untrue on here, that would be because I'm using scraps from the original legend and the story to fill in details.
