Obito was a little stunned. He had been waiting for the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to recover so he could immediately begin planning for the Jinchuriki.
He wanted to obtain the corpses of former Jinchuriki as backups.
As for the corpses of Kage-level experts, they would naturally be used to reincarnate powerful fighters through Impure World Reincarnation.
But he never would have imagined that Hiruko could get his hands on Tobirama's corpse.

Obito was anxious inside, but seeing Kakuzu covered in injuries and still acting like his usual money-grubbing self—
He thought, Kakuzu's suspicions should be cleared now.
With some reluctance, he tossed Kakuzu
