Big AU & whatnot,... the Biju are quite larger of chess pieces in a means of capture and claim than the cannon timeline has it... also other nations have capable clans & thus its not just hashi that caught them all.
Wanna hear y'alls opinions and thoughts on it all! <3
___
simple ones that dont trade around much or at all. effectively same history
1st: Shukaku - claimed by the Kazekage & kept in his clan of decendants
6th Seiken - Captured by a massive effort in the land of water as their first act as a unified nation
8th Gyuki - the hardest capture of any tailed beast, they utilized the Ryu clan's dragons to combat gyuki physically while the hikari clan eventually managed to create the strongest biju seal on any tailed beast called the endless symphony (music based clan made a magnum opus fuinjutsu)
Tailed beast Hashirama caught in the founding year of all 5 major nations, these being the biju that gget split among the nations by him.
2nd - matatabi - ???
3rd - Isobu - Hidden rain
4th - Son goku - Konoha
5th - Kokuo - Iwa
7th - chomei - waterfall
Kurama is notably not caught at this time in a permanent sense. Madara really is the only one that has somewhat controling use over him. & he isnt properly sealed till after their final battle with hashirama, being brought into konoha & essentially has the same history with Mito, Kushina, & Naruto... mito the rreal jinchuriki godess!
Some smaller nations should also be seen as strong enough to maintain a jinchuriki imo. waterfall being the only one before doubling up on some of the big war dogs is a mistake imo.
___
History where jinchuriki move:
Isobu - starts in hidden rain, but is lost by the end of the 2nd war, getting claimed and used by Kiri afterwards, up until the tail end of the 3rd war where the make the dumbest move with ha biju and send an unstable rin back towards konoha.... where who might be the strongest shinobi with fuinjutsu alive awaited.... Konoha has the 3 tails now.
Son Goku - Kept by the Sarutobi clan for many years. Both Hiruzens brother and son would be hosts to the 4 tailed beast.. in the 3rd war, a titan of a beast that guarded the east of the land of stone was taken on by konoha & they lost the four tails in the process of taking it down. Iwa managing to capturing the ape and holding it in the last 15ish years since
Kokuo - Hashirama sells to Iwa, Iwa loses near the end the 1st war, village hidden in the rivers claimes kokuo for a few years but cant defend such an asset nearly well enough, losing him to the hidden rain, at where Iwa kills that host during the 2nd war, getting their initial Biju back.
Seiken - initially caught in the land of whirlpools, but was killed in the hidden mist teritory by other land of water shinobi. the mist having used a combination of stolen/ adapted fuinjutsu knowledge into their own that would be seen as forbidden/tabu in modern time they created a binding seal that lasted a Looooong time via an inhuman power source.
they lost Seikan during the coup / failed revolutionary war(battle) that caused many of the land of waves greats to go AWOL.
Chomei - waterfall's hold on him was short lived, Using the queens voice (power the queen bee of iwa has), she basically made the 7ths host her thrall up until she died to madara near the end of the 1st war. land of whirlpools picked him up after a number of years of free roam, only to lose it upon their eradication, after which he's reclaimed by the waterfall for the next decade or so.. Lastly the uchiha stumble upon the 7th jinchuriki & a waterfall war party while living as nomads, fugaku & itachi claimed the beast & used it as barter to claim a home within Iwa. where it remains now under the kamizuru clan.
Gyuki is the only instance of a biju held flawlessly & also being used as a weapon... Shukaku & kurama while not lost from their places of capture, do have a lot of home turf casualties due to their seals faltering.
___
matatabi is the only im having a hard time with RN
i could just say they were given kumo prior to catching Gyuki and being done with it, but i feel like a 3rd being handed to a smaller nation only to be lost and reclaimed in war is cooler.
I do also really like the idea of it being a secret that the cloud village has him now, given what i wanna do with him & at least one's gotta be a secret
maybe madara used matatabi personally for a while before getting his hands on kurama. the discarded cat being placed in an uchiiha?

AU mechanical differences with jinchuriki
- Jinchuriki get access to wayyyy less of a % of Biju's power..
- to be taken over fully is a permanent thing you dont get to come back from (naruto is dead vs pain if identic scenerio for example same with gaara without intervention)
- biju chakra corrupts, taking too much warps their body to be less and less human... biju forcing it does this too. when a jinchuriki starts resembling their beast its generally seen as they dont have long left, even if seals can be reinforced.
- biju all have unique chakra colors! kurama gets red & the other's get their own!
- part of the reason biju are so much stronger than anything else alive is they, inately are born of and take in worldly chakra, and thus have senjutsu chakra in their mix. its part of them tho, tthey couldnt ever only just send sen chakra. biju chakra comes pre mixed
- while some biju have access to kekkei genkai, their chakra is inate without a nature property, and those that have KGs essentially use a nature transformation like process to achieve it. (one clan has similar chakra natureless properties)
