Evening Nardo fans, with the latest chapter we received a bit more lore about how a long-standing mechanic works, the Tailed Beasts' ability to resurrect itself.
So I wanted to look over the statement, as well as some other facts about the Biju, to see what additions this might entail.
New Chapter Statement:
In Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 10, Kurama explains how he came back from Baryon Mode consuming the entirety of his chakra and unaliving him.
According to Kurama, death for a Biju is not eternal, even if their flesh or soul perishes, over time a "kernel" of them will sprout somewhere and they will manage to return to life.
A Kernel, for those wondering, can be synonymous with "essence", "core", or "essential part."
With other translations also using the phrasing "a Biju's Essence", it's very likely referring to an essential part of a Biju existence that resides outside of the life of their physical body or soul.
When and where they reincarnate is completely unknown and seemingly out of their control, however, certain factors like lineage or inheriting a sliver of their chakra seems to influence where it happens a bit.
Proposed Abilities:
So admittedly I am posing this more as a question because I'm genuinely not sure if this qualifies.
But I would like to propose that Bijuu also receive Abstract Existence (Type 2)
The reason is that as we've seen, Biju cannot be killed permanently by destroying their minds, bodies, and souls.
Abstract Existence is defined as embodying a concept, thought, or information, with Type 2 being defined as the capacity to continuously regenerate or resurrect as long as this abstraction exists.
the only problem with this ability in this case is that it's currently not clearly defined what exactly this esoteric property is that allows Biju to keep respawning endlessly, only that it's outside of Mind, Body, or Soul.
which is why I'm also fine with this being a possibly rating or shelving this ability entirely until new information is presented in 2027 when the manga gets to that point.
Affected Profiles: Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu, Son Goku, Kokuo, Saiken, Chomei, Gyuki, Kurama, and Shinju
Anyways, let's stay civil and chill. thank you for reading and let me know what you all think.

Proposed Abilities:
At the very least I believe this statement qualifies Biju to receive Mid-Godly Ressurection (The ability to resurrect from complete erasure of one's mind, body, and soul.)
As we already know the process of burning through Baryon Mode destroyed all of Kurama's chakra in a process akin to Nuclear Fusion. (And Chakra is comprised of the physical energy in living cells and the mental energy of one's mind.)
With this chapter confirming that even if the soul and body perishes, a Bijuu will still resurrect as a kernel regardless.

So this one has a bit more nuance to it,
There are some types of Immortality I do believe they should have and others I'm not 100% sure on .
Type 1(Eternal Life): The reason for this one is simple. Bijuu are beings made up entirely of chakra, essentially solid Soul Kaijus, while they do grow in size it really doesn't make sense for them to be capable of dying from old age as beings of pure life force, and as we've seen previously, when people die in Naruto, they physiologically become the same kind of chakra ghost that Bijuu already exist as(except the Bijuu can exist in a solid form.)
Type 4(Immortailty via Resurrection): This is one I feel is less controversial, if we do except that they have Mid-Godly Resurrection and that "Death is not eternal for them", as Kurama put, then they should naturally receive this as well.
Type 8(Reliant Immortality): This Immortality is described as getting the benefits of 1 of more types of Immortality as long as a certain being, object, place, or concept exists.
Whether or not Biju receives this type of Immortality is dependent on the same factors as Abstract Existence, can this esoteric property that allows the Bijuu to exist and return outside of Mind, Body, and Soul be qualified as an object, being, place, or concept?

I think at the very least Mid-Godly Resurrection over time, and Immortality (Type 4) is a given with the statement presented.
Immortality (Type 1) should work based on the physiology of the Bijuu being that of a living soul(or chakra ghost), with chakra ghosts in Naruto being shown to be the natural state a living person turns into after death, though I'm fine with this being a possibly if an argument that brings some skepticism is presented.
Abstract Existence (Type 2) and Immortality (Type 8) are things I am skeptical of as well but I believe there is enough evidence for this to pass if not fully as a possibly rating.
