The Kyuubi was supposedly split in two equal parts. One part Yin. One part Yang.
In one reality the laws of the universe would allow 9 to be divided in two equal parts quite easily. In another universe the Kyuubi wasn't quite balanced.
In fact all of the odd number tailed bijuu weren't quite balanced.
1 tail for yin and 1 tail for yang. A clean cut separation that by laws of nature required for those of nature chakra, but not those of corrupted chakra.
The ninjen quite happily and easily overbalanced themselves to Yin or Yang, only the greats walking the tight rope, but all doomed to eventually fail.
The Hokage, Madara Uchiha, all perfectly balanced. Just like the two tail and the eight tail.
No wonder Kumo was considered the strongest.
Meanwhile the jinchuuriki of the odd tails tended to be well, quite odd.
The one tailed being a murderous beast, the three tails refusing to acknowledge reality as reality, the five tails worshiping the five elements, the seven tails being obsessed with the seven deadly sins... and well... the less being said about the nine tails the better.
In one reality the gut reaction of the forth would separate the Kyuubi quite cleanly.
In this reality however, it wasn't that simple. In this reality Kurama somehow had four and a half tails. Not Four. Not Five. Not all of yin, or all of yang.
And so when several years later when on a bridge Naruto would first access the foxes chakra it wasn't to a blind rage that the naive ninja fell to. It was well.. so much worse than that.
It was..
It was..
Youth!
A rainbow arched spectacularly a few moments later for Sasuke's to Haku's, and in a moment of Youth there eyes popped open, both with the Sharingan. And unknown to them the ability to tame Fire just as easily as Ice. And so began their song.
