If anything, the host to the beast is making a big sacrifice for the sake of the village by having what is essentially a monster sealed in them, but the village treats the Jinchuriki like a monster of sub-human. That was why Minato was trying so hard to combat that in expressing how Naruto should be viewed as a hero by acting as the Jinchuriki, but it didn't stick. So no matter how you look at it, being a Jinchuriki is always bad.

Without that emotional support from others, the convidence and emotional maturity of the Jinchuriki is always underdeveloped, which in turns makes it near impossible to conquer your own hatred and so in turn impossible to handle the beast's own hatred. They illustrated this to us with Naruto and Gaara, but its also implied with Han and Fu by Deidara.

Thing is, if you just sit in a corner hating others and letting them hate you, nothing ever changes. It was only by putting all that effort into being someone of respect, i.e. the Hokage, did Naruto manage to turn those perceptions around. By working hard he caught the villagers attention, they started paying attention to him, they saw how he furthered his own development and fought for the village's sake, he won their respect and they started to care for him. As Naruto's supports increased his commitment to the village changed from a desire to be respected to a desire to protect, so his priorities improved and they showed through his actions. It's not just the village that improves, its Naruto's character and his priorities. As Itachi said, its not if you become the Hokage then you will be respected, it's that when you are respected, you can become Hokage. The individual that becomes Hokage is respected for who he is, not the title he carries.

That is why you have B's talk about "sun", that you need emotional support from others to strength your own character and allow you to overcome the underlining hatred and malice you feel that the beast can in turn control. For B, this person was A.

Naruto likewise used the villagers, but more significantly, his parents to achieve the same result.

Gaara also used the villages, and although he never became a perfect Jinchuriki like B or Naruto, this commitment to his people and becoming Kazekage gave the people of Suna the same sort of change of heart Konoha experienced.

It just goes to show that you have to be commited to changing yourself for it to actually happen. And people respect people who work for the sake of others. It's impossible not to favor a person who works so hard for your sake. Naruto. B, and Gaara both escaped the fate of the Jinchuriki in this way. Did we talk about danzo sabotaging Minato and Hiruzen's efforts towards giving Naruto a more positive upbringing, for his own views of the village's wellbeing in the novel?
