Again, you seem to be forgetting that the author makes everyone say everything, including having characters say things that aren't true because the character didn't know about the thing. Naruto didn't know about that benefit of being a perfect Jinchuriki. Just take an easy example. Everyone thought Itachi was a traitor. Multiple characters said so. Turned out to be false. This is just how storytelling works (although the entire Uchiha plotline was stupid, especially the Itachi fake-out).
