Yamata no Orochi is a Snake bijuu. It has crimson red eyes, eight heads and eight tails (also depicted to having trees and vines growing around them) and has the power of the Demon world , a symbol of evil. Each head of Yamata no Orochi represents a symbol : Soul, Ghost, Evil, Devil, Monstrous, Kill, The Afterworld and Death. Its powers were originally weak, the members of the Kusanagi clan , when attacking it, acted carelessly, using the legendary sword Kusanagi no Tsurugi (Oro’s sword). Because of that, as a consequence, Yamata no Orochi takes the sword from them, absorbing the power contained inside, and becoming an incredibly powerful creature, and finally storing it in its body. With the new power, Yamata no Orochi releases an insane amount of dark energy, awakening the other Bijuu and becoming arrogant. Yamata no Orochi proceeds to defeat many of the Bijuu, but when it battles with Kyuubi, it is defeated. The cause of this is simple : Kyuubi has an unlimited amount of power, making even a hole in the Kusanagi sword . As this happens, it shows how tremendously powerful Kyuubi is, deserving of the “King of Bijuu” title. Legend also depicted it as having a power able to rival Kyuubi’s [in quality], but the fact is, Yamata no Orochi’s does have a limit. Yamata no Orochi awaits a genius of the Yagami clan, which is the arch enemy of the Kusanagi clan. The purpose is to awake it [Yamata no Orochi], in order to fight Kyuubi again. Since Yamata no Orochi’s power inherits in the Yagami Clan, If the heir appears as the first genius in 1000 years that is able to awake Yamata no Orochi’s ability, it will be completely restored. Once the process is done, the genius with such crucial task will be destroyed due to the true body of Yamata no Orochi resurfacing, which has an all-new power. It won’t be found before the decisive battle with Kyuubi, and will be able to kill no matter of thing, destroy any type of place, and attain infinite vision (as Kyuubi has). The core of Yamata no Orochi’s power is in a kind of forbidden sealing jutsu. As soon as the Yagami clan heir comprehends enough of it, a bigger, much stronger power will surface in the grasp of Yamata no Orochi. There is the story of the killing of the Eight-Headed Serpent by Susanoo. According to the legend, a local town had been living in fear of the Serpent, and the townspeople offered the sacrifice of a young girl each year to keep it appeased. Susanoo who's left Heaven and went to Earth, where he landed at the foot of the Hii River. Seeing chopsticks floating down the river, he supposed that there were people living upstream. Of course, he was right, and as he was walking up the river, he met two old people. The old man's name was "Foot Stroking Elder," and the old woman's name was "Hand Stroking Elder." Between them stood a lovely young maiden whom they called, "Kushinada Hime." They were all crying. Susanoo, touched by the sight of such sadness, asked them why they were lamenting so. The old man told him that every year a great snake had come, and eaten one of their eight daughters! Kushinada was the last one left! The snake was called "Yamata no Orochi" and was huge enough to cover eight valleys and mountains! Susanoo decided he would help them, because the girl was very beautiful. He asked the old people if he could have their daughter for a wife if he killed the snake. Of course, they didn't want to let just anyone have their daughter, so they asked him who he was. He said he was the brother of the Sun Goddess. At this news, they agreed, and he instantly turned Kushinada into a comb, and put her into his hair. Combs are important! Then he told the old folks to prepare eight tubs of powerful sake. They did this, and put them in the entrances of the eight- opening fence, that Susanoo had ordered. After getting ready in this way, the great snake was seen to be approaching. Susanoo was ready for the fight, too. Yamata no Orochi came to the fence, drank all the sake, and fell asleep. Then Susanoo attacked, and cut off the snake's eight heads and tails! It was a terrible fight, but Susano won!Kyuubi no Youko
Kyuubi is a Bijuu in the shape of a nine-tailed fox, and the strongest of them all. The reason he is so powerful is simple: Kyuubi has an unlimited amount of power, earning it the “King of Bijuu” title.

Kyuubi no Youko is the strongest (S Level) Bijuu of the Japanese Myth. Its body has a red fur; Kyuubi represents the element of Fire. Its abilities are incredible. Because it has never been defeated by any youkai, its total strength is unable to estimate. His tails create cyclones by spinning quickly, and Kyuubi proceeds to rip its enemies with its huge claws. At the same time his fur may shoot fireballs similar to meteorites endlessly, instantly destroying villages. In the ancient Bijuu wars, a challenge results in Houkou being severely wounded, and Nekomata nearly dying, but ending up being rescued by his master, Shinigami (God of Death). Yamata no Orochi depended on the Kusanagi no Tsurugi to fight Kyuubi, but was defeated and the sword received a cracked hole, courtesy of our kitsune. The Kyuubi and Kitsune are fundamentally the same creature. In Japanese the word Yokai is used in place of the word monster. But they do not start off having just nine tails. The longer they live the more power they aquire and the more tails they grow as well. Kitsune are believed to possess superior intelligence, long life, and magical powers. They are a type of yokai, or spiritual entity, and the word kitsune is often translated as fox spirit. However, this does not mean that kitsune are ghost, nor that they are fundamentally different from regular foxes. Because the word spirit is used to reflect a state of knowledge or enlightenment, all long-lived foxes gain supernatural abilities. Physically, kitsune are noted for having as many as nine tails. Generally, a greater number of tails indicates an older and more powerful fox; in fact, some folktales say that a fox will only grow additional tails after it has lived 100 years. One, five, seven, and nine tails are the most common numbers in folk stories. When a kitsune gains its ninth tail, its fur becomes white or gold. These kyubi no kitsune gain the abilities to see and hear anything happening anywhere in the world. The fate of Kyuubi is still unknown as for the Legend of the Kyuubi No Youko itself, the king of all tailed beasts and the reason he is so powerful is because he has an unlimited amount of power. This power is generated by his fire seal and as a result, after 100 years of battle with the eight tails. The eight tails is exhausted but the Kyuubi is still able to fight. Kyuubi is also very smart and searches for the person who awakened him as well as the shinobi who sealed him. However, the eight tails did not tell Kyubi that it was him who awakened the nine tails. So the Kyuubi continues to rampage across the land seeking the one who awoke him even though he had already killed him.

Yamata no Orochi is a Snake bijuu. It has crimson red eyes, eight heads and eight tails (also depicted to having trees and vines growing around them) and has the power of the Demon world , a symbol of evil. Each head of Yamata no Orochi represents a symbol : Soul, Ghost, Evil, Devil, Monstrous, Kill, The Afterworld and Death. Its powers were originally weak, the members of the Kusanagi clan , when attacking it, acted carelessly, using the legendary sword Kusanagi no Tsurugi (Oro’s sword). Because of that, as a consequence, Yamata no Orochi takes the sword from them, absorbing the power contained inside, and becoming an incredibly powerful creature, and finally storing it in its body. With the new power, Yamata no Orochi releases an insane amount of dark energy, awakening the other Bijuu and becoming arrogant. Yamata no Orochi proceeds to defeat many of the Bijuu, but when it battles with Kyuubi, it is defeated. The cause of this is simple : Kyuubi has an unlimited amount of power, making even a hole in the Kusanagi sword . As this happens, it shows how tremendously powerful Kyuubi is, deserving of the “King of Bijuu” title. Legend also depicted it as having a power able to rival Kyuubi’s [in quality], but the fact is, Yamata no Orochi’s does have a limit. Yamata no Orochi awaits a genius of the Yagami clan, which is the arch enemy of the Kusanagi clan. The purpose is to awake it [Yamata no Orochi], in order to fight Kyuubi again. Since Yamata no Orochi’s power inherits in the Yagami Clan, If the heir appears as the first genius in 1000 years that is able to awake Yamata no Orochi’s ability, it will be completely restored. Once the process is done, the genius with such crucial task will be destroyed due to the true body of Yamata no Orochi resurfacing, which has an all-new power. It won’t be found before the decisive battle with Kyuubi, and will be able to kill no matter of thing, destroy any type of place, and attain infinite vision (as Kyuubi has). The core of Yamata no Orochi’s power is in a kind of forbidden sealing jutsu. As soon as the Yagami clan heir comprehends enough of it, a bigger, much stronger power will surface in the grasp of Yamata no Orochi. There is the story of the killing of the Eight-Headed Serpent by Susanoo. According to the legend, a local town had been living in fear of the Serpent, and the townspeople offered the sacrifice of a young girl each year to keep it appeased. Susanoo who's left Heaven and went to Earth, where he landed at the foot of the Hii River. Seeing chopsticks floating down the river, he supposed that there were people living upstream. Of course, he was right, and as he was walking up the river, he met two old people. The old man's name was "Foot Stroking Elder," and the old woman's name was "Hand Stroking Elder." Between them stood a lovely young maiden whom they called, "Kushinada Hime." They were all crying. Susanoo, touched by the sight of such sadness, asked them why they were lamenting so. The old man told him that every year a great snake had come, and eaten one of their eight daughters! Kushinada was the last one left! The snake was called "Yamata no Orochi" and was huge enough to cover eight valleys and mountains! Susanoo decided he would help them, because the girl was very beautiful. He asked the old people if he could have their daughter for a wife if he killed the snake. Of course, they didn't want to let just anyone have their daughter, so they asked him who he was. He said he was the brother of the Sun Goddess. At this news, they agreed, and he instantly turned Kushinada into a comb, and put her into his hair. Combs are important! Then he told the old folks to prepare eight tubs of powerful sake. They did this, and put them in the entrances of the eight- opening fence, that Susanoo had ordered. After getting ready in this way, the great snake was seen to be approaching. Susanoo was ready for the fight, too. Yamata no Orochi came to the fence, drank all the sake, and fell asleep. Then Susanoo attacked, and cut off the snake's eight heads and tails! It was a terrible fight, but Susano won!
Kyuubi is a Bijuu in the shape of a nine-tailed fox, and the strongest of them all. The reason he is so powerful is simple: Kyuubi has an unlimited amount of power, earning it the “King of Bijuu” title.

Kyuubi no Youko is the strongest (S Level) Bijuu of the Japanese Myth. Its body has a red fur; Kyuubi represents the element of Fire. Its abilities are incredible. Because it has never been defeated by any youkai, its total strength is unable to estimate. His tails create cyclones by spinning quickly, and Kyuubi proceeds to rip its enemies with its huge claws. At the same time his fur may shoot fireballs similar to meteorites endlessly, instantly destroying villages. In the ancient Bijuu wars, a challenge results in Houkou being severely wounded, and Nekomata nearly dying, but ending up being rescued by his master, Shinigami (God of Death). Yamata no Orochi depended on the Kusanagi no Tsurugi to fight Kyuubi, but was defeated and the sword received a cracked hole, courtesy of our kitsune. The Kyuubi and Kitsune are fundamentally the same creature. In Japanese the word Yokai is used in place of the word monster. But they do not start off having just nine tails. The longer they live the more power they aquire and the more tails they grow as well. Kitsune are believed to possess superior intelligence, long life, and magical powers. They are a type of yokai, or spiritual entity, and the word kitsune is often translated as fox spirit. However, this does not mean that kitsune are ghost, nor that they are fundamentally different from regular foxes. Because the word spirit is used to reflect a state of knowledge or enlightenment, all long-lived foxes gain supernatural abilities. Physically, kitsune are noted for having as many as nine tails. Generally, a greater number of tails indicates an older and more powerful fox; in fact, some folktales say that a fox will only grow additional tails after it has lived 100 years. One, five, seven, and nine tails are the most common numbers in folk stories. When a kitsune gains its ninth tail, its fur becomes white or gold. These kyubi no kitsune gain the abilities to see and hear anything happening anywhere in the world. The fate of Kyuubi is still unknown as for the Legend of the Kyuubi No Youko itself, the king of all tailed beasts and the reason he is so powerful is because he has an unlimited amount of power. This power is generated by his fire seal and as a result, after 100 years of battle with the eight tails. The eight tails is exhausted but the Kyuubi is still able to fight. Kyuubi is also very smart and searches for the person who awakened him as well as the shinobi who sealed him. However, the eight tails did not tell Kyubi that it was him who awakened the nine tails. So the Kyuubi continues to rampage across the land seeking the one who awoke him even though he had already killed him.
