Three-Tails Attacked!

Jyuuzou Biwa's early addition caused a slight change in Akatsuki's plan to capture the Tailed Beasts.

Jyuuzou Biwa still held considerable status in Kirigakure and naturally knew certain secrets. He could easily lead Nagato to the Jinchuriki's location and capture them without a sound.

He could even use his authority to transfer away those assigned to watch the Jinchuriki, providing Akatsuki with maximum convenience. Afterward, Jyuuzou Biwa would simply defect from Kirigakure completely and join Akatsuki. It was no loss to him.

Aside from having Jyuuzou Biwa as an insider, the main reason Akatsuki chose to strike Kirigakure first was that it had two intact Jinchuriki. They could capture both in a single operation.

If they only took one away, making another move later would become difficult. Black Zetsu knew very well that if they acted again now, the major ninja villages might unite. Even Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure, which were currently at war, might cease hostilities and join forces against them.

So before they could be targeted, Black Zetsu wanted to seize the Three-Tails and Six-Tails in one go. Naturally, capturing their Jinchuriki was relatively easy. After all, they were also deeply unwelcome in Kirigakure, able only to live alone, isolated and desolate. That was Akatsuki's advantage.

Their greatest advantage was still their insider, Jyuuzou Biwa.

Once everything happened, the Third Mizukage would probably rage himself sick. A Kirigakure at full strength had actually allowed people to sneak into the village and abduct two Jinchuriki. What kind of joke was that?!

When Sunagakure's Jinchuriki had been captured, they had at least resisted. So what if they suffered heavy losses? Sometimes, suffering heavy losses was less humiliating than losing someone for no apparent reason.

As long as they captured the Three-Tails Jinchuriki and the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, it meant that six
