A flicker of suspicion passed through Obito's eyes at Zetsu's boast.
If it were really that simple, they would not have needed to spend so much time and effort locking horns with the God Organization and the Five Great Shinobi Villages, capturing the Jinchuriki one by one.
Seeing this, Zetsu offered no further explanation. He simply formed hand seals and activated the former One-Tail Jinchuriki and former Seven-Tails Jinchuriki inside the coffins.

At the time, he had vaguely guessed that it
