Land of Mountains Bijū

}

In the Land of Mountains, there are nine giant demons called the Land of Mountains Tailed Beasts (尾獣, Yama no Kuni Bijū) that inhabit the land (these are separate beasts from the original Bijuu). They, like their counterparts from the Five Great Nations, are actually living chakra in physical form, often referred to as "Chakra Monsters". The beasts are differentiated by the number of tails they have, with each possessing an amount from one to ten. They are large, living forms of chakra, giving them power that far outmatches most ninja. However, this immense strength is tempered due to their bestial nature, which restricts them from being smart enough to use it effectively. Beasts sealed within humans are able to benefit from the knowledge of their hosts, giving them the ability to speak and better utilize their powers.

History
The Land of Mountains' Tailed Beasts have been around before the the founding of Yamagakure 2. Because of their immense power, the shinobi from each clan of the land tried to use the Tailed Beasts as military weapons during the Civil Wars of time's past. The beasts are extremely elusive in the land's written history, they were often regarded as just myth and folklore. Yet despite the status of the beasts as myth, countless shinobi have claimed to encounter them on missions throughout the land. Lately it has been the goal of Yamagakure 2 to capture these beasts for military purposes.
