Hmm.
As for the Uchiha fighting the Kyubi, they were the *target* of its rampage, right? They didn't really have a choice but to flee, except for maybe outright flight.
The idea of them coming to the realization that there is something more powerful beyond chakra that there sight is powerless for would server almost as well to break them out of their rut. That would also serve to cause MORE strife between staunch traditionalists that try to deny it.
Is that thing about the 10 tails actually canon? I don't bother to read most of the manga post-timeskip.
