-Chapter 1: Birth Of The Tailed-Beast-
A thousand years ago...
Born from the chakra of the Ten Tails, The Tailed Beasts were created by the Sage of Six Paths who split the chakra into nine parts and used Creation Of All Things to create a form out of nothingness and breathing life into a form to forge it into nine, living beings.
Each being manifested with a unique shape and power, the chakra that composed them expressing itself in unpredictable ways. Their only similarities were that they resembled animals and each had a different number of tails, thus earning them the collective title of the Tailed Beasts.
They were like newborn children when they first came into existence, without any memories of their previous life, and Hagoromo named each one as they awoke.
Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox
Gyuki, the Eight-Tailed Ox
Chomei, the Seven-Tailed Beetle
Saiken, the Six-Tailed Slug
Kokuo, the Five-Tailed Horse
Son Goku, the Four-Tailed Monkey
Isobu, the Three-Tailed Turtle
Matabi, the Two-Tailed Cat
Shukaku, the One-Tailed Raccoon
Hagoromo raised these nine beasts as his own; he taught them all about the world, where they had come from and what their future might be. He felt that, having been born from the planet itself, they would become its guardian and examples of its greatest wonders. That they could one day find a purpose for all their strength and would choose to guide and protect all living things to create peace after his death.
He was well aware that they could become monsters just as terrible as the Ten Tails, but he chose to believe in them and in the Shinobi Sect.
When the Sage of Six Paths passed away, the Tailed Beasts drifted apart to explore the world. In the centuries that followed, they traversed everywhere they could reach and even found habitats that they could find home.
But while they may have loved a human as a father but they soon felt nothing but contempt for the rest of humanity as, in their eyes, they were all inferior to the Sage and the Tailed Beasts themselves.
