Theory Naruto (Kurama) vs. Sasuke (Shukaku)

Quantized · Feb 22, 2012

A shocking thought hit me not to long ago..

There is the possibility that Madara gave Shukaku to Sasuke, he did indeed promise Sasuke one in reward for joining Akutsuki.
Also, where is he? Madara didn't have a Jinchuriki corpse (Gaara) for him, so, where else to put him to use? Giving him to Sasuke is a possibility, and at the same time he keeps his promise to him, trying to control Sasuke.

We know that Kurama and Shukaku have problems on their own, similar to Naruto and Sasuke, Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
So it's not to far fetched to think that we'll see them in battle against in each others.

So all this boils down to Naruto's and Sasuke's upcoming fight.
We know that Naruto is crazy strong right now, and it's hard to try balance Sasuke with him without thinking about some crazy yet to be seen power up.
So, what if Sasuke have the 1 tailed, Shukaku, at his disposal? It doesn't mean he's become a Jinchuriki, but maybe he controls it with his sharingan.

Regardless, it seems that if we include Shukaku, and Kurama is weakened after his first link with Naruto.. That we're having a fair fight at our hands?

I did not feel the need to include links to the manga facts given, I assume we all remember the events in the manga without. If not, I'll find them :3

Also what Rosebuense mentioned here is really interesting food for thought and could explain quite some things in the current events.

We haven't see Shukaku yet. It would be interesting. We know that, for all of his stupidity the one time we did see him, Shukaku is manipulative enough to use someone's memory of a loved one against them. He used Gaara's need for his mother against him and for all we know he could be the voice in Sasuke head.

It would be pretty interesting, given everything. Plus, as he's apparently the weakest, I can see how Tobi may feel more confident about giving him up.
