Yeah, because the whole deal in the Pain fight was that Kurama was going to take over his body and release himself, so what if Kurama and Naruto being friends allows for Kurama to exit his body without killing Naruto. Since we only see the physical form of Kurama after the Toneri fight I'm leaning towards that Kurama can separate from Naruto without killing him now.

That or since Tailed Beasts are just huge amounts of chakra I don't see why Kurama can't split some and have it leave Naruto's body and then take a physical form.
