Whenever I see Naruto and Kurama do cute stuff or fistbump, I just remember the fact that Kurama killed Naruto's parents and find it odd. Kurama is free after Naruto. The other Tailed Beasts are free.

Kurama is changed now. He cares about Naruto and Naruto is the only one who managed to get through to him. Before that, he'd only ever been used by humans.

In the context of his parents, Kurama was just freed, then immediately put under Genjutsu to cause mass destruction, then as soon as he was free from the Genjutsu was being sealed back into another human. Obviously he'd try to kill those who were sealing him.

Fair enough, but I just think the relationship between the two is unnatural. I get that Kurama hasn't connected with his previous hosts as much as he has with Naruto, but I think the outcome is too perfect, humanity is flawed and the series has made that clear throughout. But I suppose Naruto is the Jesus of the series, so he's an anomaly of that trend.

Besides, as you've said, Kurama has been used by many humans, I don't know how many hosts he has gone through. But judging from that, I feel like Kurama would be upset at Naruto's death, but not anything more than that. Like its been said, if Kurama did care for Naruto enough, he would have told him about BIAIDS. And even if BIAIDS wasn't a thing, wouldn't Kurama at least address what he did to Naruto's parents, either as an apology or merely an acknowledgement? A tragic event completely overlooked. Either that, or Kurama didn't care enough.

It's sort of similar to how after Neji's (and Ino/Shika parents + countless shinobi) death, Naruto becomes buddy-buddy with Obito, or when Jiraiya is killed, Naruto becomes buddy-buddy with Nagato. Don't get me wrong, I understand why and how Naruto became buddies with them, but in order for a friendship to make sense, these tragic events would have to be addressed. Naruto does address his anger towards Nagato, which is good, but I can't recall such a thing for Obito or Kurama.

That being said, I do think this whole BIAIDS thing is dumb, and I agree that the novels come up with some wack from time to time. Like Itachi killing his girlfriend with Tsukuyomi after exposing them to a lifetime length of genjutsu, which could have simplified a lot of conflicts throughout the series.
