While others have 2 considering 1st hokage distributed it to other villages.

It doesn't make sense to give other villages to have advantage of having more
power. I haven't read manga so have no clue if it's been addressed somewhere.

Why does Konoha have only 1 tailed beast?


Their power levels are not equal. Nine-tails power level is equal to every
other tailed beast **combined**. It is stated in no plainer words. However, a
beast's power is not determined by the number of tails it has, e.g. two-
through eight-tails have a comparable power level.

Adding on to what omni said:

The first Hokage wished/hoped for peace among the five countries, not use
their power for war. During the first meeting of the Kages, Hashirama even
bowed his head, asking for understanding and peace. To show his sincerity, he
might have given the other villages one more tailed-beast than his own.

It's true that Kurama is the strongest among all the tailed-beasts, but I am
unsure whether or not Kurama can take on two of the other tailed-beasts by
himself.

When Hashirama convened the first Kage summit to distribute the tailed beast,
he wanted to distribute them to each village based on power. Three of the four
great nations and received 2 tailed beast while sunagakure already possessed
the 1 tail and did not desire another, so takigakure took possession of the 7
tails for their commemorative strength of not being one of the great nations.
Since the nintails possessed chakra comparable to equivalently 5 tailed, the
first hokage sall acquirring another tailed beast would disrupt the balance of
power between nations and thus settled with having the strongest tailed beast
overall. The argument of kurama being as strong as at least 5 biju is
supported by him creating a tailed beast ball able to cancel out a combined
tailed beast ball empowered by 5 tailed beast.

Dudes look at it this way the yondaime split the kyuubi into two halves
reducing its max output and size and yet it can still beat the hell out of the
others of all the beast it has the most chakra even when split in half to show
how awesome it is . oh and the higher the tail the more powerful the beast
chakra sensors know this fact people like Karin and the blonde body gaurd the
4th raikage brought with him

Kurama inspires utter terror in every living thing, even most of the other
Tailed Beasts. If say Matatabi was unleashed on the battlefield by Cloud and
the Leaf answered by unleashing Kurama, Matatabi would probably run like hell
in the opposite direction to Kurama with her tails between her legs. Gyuki
might've stayed to fight but any other Tailed Beast, maybe except Shukaku
(because he's a crazy son of a raccoon) would duck right on out of there.

I'd say Kurama is so powerful that the threat he represents is so great that
Hashirama didn't feel the need to keep another Tailed Beast. Add to that the
Leaf having the Uzumaki Clan, who could release and reseal Kurama practically
at will and Hashirama himself, who could apparently 1 vs 1 every single Tailed
Beast and come out on top, every other village wouldn't have dared to use
their Tailed Beasts against them.
