So what did he have to do? Split it in ten different separate beings so it doesn't come back. As far as we know, you can't kill the Ten Tails. Defeat does not mean kill. There are wins and losses then there's victory and defeat. When it comes to the Shinju, can you really say that? It can't die, and it won't be held down for long. So you do the best you could. That's like saying, "You can win... but you'll have to keep your gut tucked in until you die... then you sorta lose."

What I kind of mean to say is, he didn't have the power to pound the damn thing into dust and crush it into the wind.
