"Why can't I separate the Jinchūriki from the Tailed Beast?"
Uchiha Minamoto asked in return as though it were only natural.
The Jinchūriki and the Tailed Beast were never the same being to begin with.
They had merely been forcibly bound together through Sealing Jutsu.
As long as the seal was undone.
The Jinchūriki was the Jinchūriki.
The Tailed Beast was the Tailed Beast.
Hiruzen Sarutobi realized something and asked excitedly.

Does the Two-Tails belong to you?
And you're already making plans for it!
Still.
I ought to play along with your performance, but I'll pretend not to notice.
"Lord Third, can Konoha still find
