Naruto has a way with words, Smooth. But I agree, even being a professional talker, it should take much more to convince the embodiment of death and destruction itself to be slightly more friendlier.
Maybe there's more to the Tailed Beasts than being engines of said death and destruction...?
I mean, maybe the people of the Ninja World (since they really don't give a name that applies to the entirety of the planet) are looking at the Tailed Beasts from a skewed perspective. These Tailed Beasts could be these elemental forces of the world that were harnessed for the sake of conquest and warfare. Maybe, just maybe,
these people of the Ninja World stripped away whatever autonomy they had by binding them and locking them into this cycle of being weaponized. If you look at the Nine Tails from that perspective, one could understand why he's reluctant to do anything at all. Of course I'd be pissed off if I was forced to do the bidding of lesser beings! I'd be a roiling engine of mad-on for the whole ****ing world! I'd also be bitter, too, if there was little I could do about it. But then again, heh, I'd be playing host to some sap. Perfect scapegoat and/or vehicle for whatever designs I had to get back at those pesky little ****ers who thought it'd be cool to imprison me...
I'm interested at the possibility, but at the same time frustrated with how it came up, simply because Kishimoto kept using the damn Kyuubi as a plot device and not as a true
character. Why not give motive and more personality to such an important part of the main character beforehand...? It doesn't have to be overwhelming where you have these melodramas of Hero vs. Inner Self; just more of the little scenes in Naruto's head when it
isn't about a power boost or something like that.
I can understand why the relationship between the Bijuu hasn't been expanded upon, on a couple of points. Firstly, there's distance between the Jinchuuriki and the Bijuu to consider. They were far away in other nations at the time, apart from each other. They were also captured individually and probably isolated even then in some magical way. They probably can't talk to one another unless very specific conditions are met. Secondly, there's clearly a divide amongst their number. Just from the interaction between the Eight Tails and the Nine Tails, there's some clear contempt that the Nine Tails has for the other "lesser tailed" creatures. As a result, he probably doesn't care to make overtures to talk to 'em even if there was a way to communicate otherwise.
But, yeah. Done rambling. Aizen.
