I think Kishimoto himself might have forgotten about that.
At the time I took it to mean that Shukaku was the spirit of the Sand Priest, sealed and then attached to Gaara. It's unclear whether or not Kishimoto intended Shukaku to be a tailed beast at that point.

Well, Shukaku was revealed within that same arc to be the one-tailed bijuu, so Kishimoto would have to be pretty damn retarded to break continuity in such a short timeframe.Originally Posted by XanBcoo

Really? I know it was assumed that Shukaku was the one-tailed beast, but it was never explicitly stated. It wasn't until Part 2 when we were told that for the first time.Originally Posted by Assertn

I thought that then, too. In fact, I've always thought that bijuu "grow where hatred festers", like Gaara's attendent said (I think). I thought that was the best part of the Gaara story -- when we found out that the priestess that was sacrificed was his mom. So it makes sense that a human sacrifice could turn into a monster. If we entirely ignore the Jyuubi, it makes sense that Sasuke's hatred is growing and turning into Susanoo-bi.Originally Posted by XanBcoo
But Kishimoto has shifted gears since the time jump. "Growing where hatred festers" is too generic in a world with guys like Pein around.
