Tailed Beasts are creatures composed of pure chakra, created by the legendary Hagoromo Otsutsuki. They came into being when Hagoromo split the Ten Tails' chakra into nine parts. These beasts are powerful, and they can destroy an entire nation in seconds. All nations feared them and did their best to capture them, just so they could have a weapon to use in a war. The Naruto series has given rise to many powerful characters, but only a few have bested these misfortunes in battle. Here are the characters who have achieved such a monstrous feat.
