Tailed Beast Control

Some shinobi throughout the series have demonstrated the ability to gain partial or total control of one or more of the nine tailed beasts. The cause and effect of this control varies between those capable of doing it. For example, Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage could control the tailed beast using his Wood Release, while his counterpart Madara Uchiha could subdue the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox using his Mangekyō Sharingan.

The jinchūriki have the potential to control their tailed beasts, as shown with Killer Bee, Yugito Nii and Yagura. But this type of control, at least seen with Killer Bee, involves the beasts own cooperation, instead of forced obedience. Indeed, both Gaara and Naruto have had to worry about their tailed beasts destroying their personalities; and while Gaara is now apparently safe, Naruto still has to worry about the Demon Fox taking over. Killer Bee though is in no apparent danger. Yūkimaru also was able to partially control the Three-Tailed Giant Turtle.

Trivia
Sasuke Uchiha has shown the ability to suppress the Nine-Tails chakra from within Naruto using only his Sharingan. However this is not completely unlike the Chakra-Suppressing Seal developed by Jiraiya which serves the same basic function.
