Wasn't that Kurama formed from a Naruto clone? I've not seen it in a while, but I'm like 99% on that.

Anyway, the host dying from tailed beast extraction is primarily a note of the old way of sealing tailed beasts, where you basically force them into a container and then, if need be later, rip them the hell out. As with many other things, we've actually no idea what the status is on the tailed beasts and their hosts these days, if the same type of systems are being implimented, or if they have in fact developed a way for tailed beast and host to live independently or together as they see fit.

In the case of Bee and Gyuki, since those two actually get along, they have the method of lopping off a tail to give Bee a chance to survive his extraction. It's a bit crude and I'm fairly certain the only reason Gyuki can do it is the whole octopus thing, but still, it works, so I don't think it's really out there for him to use that method since it's one of his go-to moves (See how he evaded team taka.)
