Juubi (Ten-Tailed Demon)

Location: -
Classification: Demon
Tail Number: Juu (Ten)
Type: -
Imbued Within: Rikudou Sennin

The Juubi was a being of incredible power. Seeking to stop its destruction, the Rikudou Sennin sealed the beast's power within his own body. When his life was nearing its end, Rikudou Sennin dispersed the Juubi's power from his body into nine separate parts to hopefully prevent its return. He then sealed its body within the moon. These nine parts would become the one through nine tailed Bijuu. Some years later, Uchiha Madara sought to gather the Bijuu and use their combined power to recreate the Juubi so he could implant its power within himself. He would then use that power to cast Mugen Tsukuyomi on the Moon; a jutsu which would allow him to control the entire world.
