Naruto Shippuuden Episode 205 [Canon]

[SilentSnake]

In what way has Kyuubi ever been an antagonist in this series?

Yeah, he's a big evil demon in the past, but he's not the villain of any of the story arcs of the series. In what way would Naruto and Kyuubi developing a working relationship "ruin the series" when Kyuubi hasn't even DONE anything yet.

Focus on the "gets friends with Naruto" part.

Well, First shots we get in Naruto is the story behind the Kyuubi attack on the village and the mighty 4th hokage defending the village from Kyuubi. I understand that the "real" story behind all this is more complicated, but Naruto befriending Kyuubi would indeed ruin the series for me, because all this time I was led to believe it's 1 thing most evil in this whole Naruto world only to find it get a change of heart.

Don't get me wrong, seeing Kyuubi and Naruto cooperating would be nice, but after Itachi's reveal Kyuubi going "good" would be too much.

It's not even like the Kyuubi's personality takes over when Naruto looses control. Naruto just goes berserk.

You state that like a fact while it's your own assumption. Elaborate if you care enough, but Naruto goes "berserk" for a reason, don't you think?

Ah, now that's a good point. We might not know what Kyuubi wants, but the thing he probably DOESN'T want the most is being melted back down into the Tentails.

That's at least some leverage for Naruto to negotiate with it.

"Yeah, I need some chakra or else your going to end up back inside your demon space dad's testicles."

that'd work
