hmm...fascinating origin idea.

@SandLover13:

Cool thanks

@DeidaraNarutoClan:

It was in my Tales of old Japan book I got from borders. Maybe you should look it up.

@SandLover13:

I actually heard that legend once before somewhere...

@DeidaraNarutoClan:

Yeah, I made it so Shukaku had a similar life with Gaara. Actually, there's a story called the Crackling mountain where a bagder beats up an old lady, transforms into the lady, and cooks the real lady in the husband's supper. I kinda used that to create the childhood. Also I wanted to let you know what Misa is. She is just a regular tanuki who wants to become a ninja, not related to Shukaku as in twins...

Wow... Now that's sad... I feel sorry for Shukaku
