Why is the nine tails afraid of Madara?


In a recent episode of the Naruto anime, the reanimated Madara tries to summon
the nine tails but fails since it's sealed inside Naruto, later when Madara
attacks with his Deep Forest jutsu the nine tails tells Naruto,"I'd rather be
controlled by you than by Madara" and shares some of its chakra with Naruto to
defeat Madara. Is it really afraid of Madara or is there some other reason?




I don't think that it's _fear_ per-se, more like... hate.

The nine-tails prefers to help Naruto voluntarily than be forcefully
controlled by Madara (or Tobi, for that matter).

**Manga Spoiler:**

> The bijuu have feelings, and hate being treated as weapons, ever since the
> Sage of Six Paths dies, Kurama has known nothing but ignorance from humans.
> (Like when Madara yells at him to obey, or when Hashirama tells him that
> he's too dangerous and he must seal him.)

So helping Naruto was the better option.
