More or less what the Kyuubi said when Sasuke first appeared in Shippuden.

After the Ninetails said this, Sasuke 'popped' the Kyuubi's bubbly looking form. And said something about not knowing who Madara is...

Why do you think the Kyuubi said this? Maybe I missed something, but I don't remember this ever being clarified. Maybe it was so that he didn't unlock Mangenkyo sharingan too early? I dunno.

Most people think it's because the Kyubi wanted to save itself. I think it had something more in mind, when it said those words. Hopefully 496 will shed some light on the subject.

Tobi is:

I think the kyubi wasn't just trying to save itself. The kyubi knows more that it is telling us and I don't think it plans on telling Naruto in its current state. When Naruto has more control we will probably find out.

That's somewhat mysterious. But the Bijuus don't die when their hosts fall in combat, do they? It would be kinda weird. Actually all facts I know is that the guy who tried to kill Killer Bee said that he only tryed it, because back then he thought that would kill the Bijuu sealed within Bee as well. That he changed his mind about the fact should mean that it's common knowledge that the Kyuubi don't die when their Jinchuuriki die, doesn't it?

I'ld rather expect them to break free when their host die or something. However, when Naruto fought Kabuto (In the fight Naruto-Jiraya-Tsunade vs Kabuto-Orochimaru) the Kyuubi said something like "It's becoming dark... why is it becoming dark?" when Naruto seems to be dying. That sounded like the Kyuubi was dying as well...

However, maybe the Kyuubi was so sure that he could break Naruto sooner or later and just didn't want that opportunity go away. Breaking the son of the guy who sliced him into two halves and sealed him.

Maybe the Kyuubi even has a sympathy to the Uchiha's dark side since he met Mardara and wants to see Sasuke later when he becomes darker and stronger, although this somehow does not connect to the original question ... So that would lead to the idea that he either would actually want to face him later and doesn't want to die until then (If he would die alongside Naruto if he dies) or that he knows that the existence of Naruto will drive Sasuke further into darkness and power, so he doesn't want this zest for Sasuke to vanish.

Or he actually ment it for real and wanted to give Sasuke a useful hint how not to destroy his psyche. This doesn't really connect to the character of the Kyuubi however. Weird thought.

If you kill the jinchuuriki, you kill the bijuu along with it.

Kyuubi told the threatening statement to save itself, that's all...

When you are not strong, the best alternative is to act strong...

The thing that gets me is if it was really that easy to kill a bijuu, then how come nobody has every done it? there have been jinchuuriki around as long as their have been ninja (if you count the sage) I find it extremely hard to believe that not a single one has died without first having the beast extracted.

I think that we will know in the following eps. When naruto has more control over the kyuubi and himself.
Besides that, i think that the kyuubi has something mire in mind! Siemthing that we didn't even notice!
Anyways, yup

As I already wrote in the other thread, Bijuu's don't die when their host dies. They will just not be able to do anything for a while, whatever that means, but it can't be much worse than beeing sealed within a person.
So the answer "it only wants to save it's own life" cannot be the reason why the Kyuubi said these words to Sasuke.

I think Chapter 503 answers your question. The 9 bijuus form a balanced chakra environment in the Naruto World. Killing even one of them would result in imbalance of chakra. Hence, before the jinchuuriki is to die, the bijuu was extracted to avoid this imbalance. Therefore such an event has never occured.

I really dont think thats right, its said Bijuus some from time to time somewhere earlly probably even in first 100 mangas, so i bolive if host is killed Bijuus disapear for some time or something

That is what kushina was saying right before minato sealed half of the kyuubi inside naruto. She wanted him to let her seal the kyuubi in herself in order to postpone the time and place when the kyuubi would be reincarnated again.

my opinion about the kyubis words is that the kyubi knows of narutos potential and maybe some day naruto and sasuke will unite to destroy madara and that the kyubi wants revenge on madara for controling him...!!
