As Kakuzu and Sasori were respectively held back by Nawaki and Sakumo, regardless of who had the upper hand, the Konoha Crush Plan had not achieved much by this point.
This was clearly not the outcome Fugaku wanted.
Fortunately, he still had another card to play.
In a corner, Zetsu appeared aboveground with the unconscious Fourth Mizukage Yagura.
This time, Yagura was the real Yagura, not White Zetsu in disguise.
Back then, Fugaku had sealed the Three-Tails inside Yagura for the sake of tonight's attack.
Black Zetsu rapidly formed Hand Seals, and the Seal on Yagura's body was gradually undone. Large amounts of red Chakra bubbled forth like a gurgling spring.
Boom!
A tremendous blast, an enraged roar, and a pillar of water shooting into the sky followed one after another.
A dark, heavily armored turtle shell covered in spikes appeared in Konoha. Three flat tails lashed against the ground, sending violent tremors through it.
At the moment the Three-Tails truly revealed itself, never mind its immense, oppressive Chakra—even the sight of it made people feel small.
Fear. A fear born from the depths of the heart.
A Tailed Beast... was such a terrifying existence.
"This is the second gift for you."
Fugaku stood high in the sky, leisurely admiring the Three-Tails in the distance.
One only had to look at Hidden Mist Village to know what happened when a Tailed Beast appeared in a village. A few Tailed Beast Bombs were enough to flatten it completely.
Since the meteor shower had failed, then let the Three-Tails do the destroying.

But this attack was ultimately meant to suppress Konoha, not to hand over Tailed Beasts.
If the attack failed and both the Three-Tails and Six-Tails were taken by Konoha, would they have to attack
