This ain’t a plot hole, a tailed beast is just a chakra, even if the jinchuriki dies, the chakra will fly from the body and eventually come back together

@Narttouto so if naruto were to die, kurama would live on?

Yes.

Kurama said “i cant let you die cus if you die i die” when he first spoke to him

It might just be a plothole

Maybe its jsut painful to die or maybe they become weaker idrk but no its not a plot hole since they just come back a few years later (Based on my estimates 10years 5years)

@Accountname0005 he did say once that if naruto dies he dies so im guessing that kurama would get reincarnated but not like at the exact time naruto dies

@VoltTheWobDuck it takes about 5years for a tailed beast to reincarnate

Now thats a long ass time

@VoltTheWobDuck you thinks thats long... the longest estimate i came up with was 10-15years

Biju deaths are temporary. this was explained in the manga/anime and is on the Tailed Beast wiki page with a citation.
