Obito's concession wasn't because he feared Nagato. The situation in the Shinobi World truly was fraught with hidden dangers.
Though the Akatsuki Organization had successfully collected six Tailed Beasts, the Five Great Shinobi Villages had been stung into uniting completely and had begun a full-scale mobilization.
In the next battle, the Akatsuki Organization might have to face a massive Allied Force numbering tens of thousands of shinobi.
Additionally, the mysterious group led by "A" was a major wildcard. Although they hadn't interfered with their efforts to collect the Tailed Beasts during their previous operations, the group's very existence was enough to make Obito wary. After all, by their current assessment, "A" and his people were no weaker than they were.
If the two sides fought, it was anyone's guess who would win!
It was for all these reasons that Obito chose to give in. "I'll bring you the Two-Tails Jinchuriki later."
Nagato nodded, then instructed him, "Find out the Mizukage's whereabouts as soon as possible!"
"Don't worry. He won't escape us!"
With that, Obito turned and left.
After watching Obito go, Konan said, "They didn't try anything this time!"
"Mm!"
Nagato nodded slightly.
Obito and his forces had indeed contributed greatly to this surprise attack on the elite shinobi troops. Not only had Obito personally captured the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, but the Fourth Mizukage had also been severely injured by Itachi's Amaterasu.
By contrast, though Kakuzu, Hidan, Scorpion, and Deidara had all fought hard on Nagato's side, they had little to show for it. The only thing worth mentioning was that Scorpion had worked with Hidan to ambush the Fourth Kazekage.
But the Fourth Kazekage wasn't a Jinchuriki, after all. As long as they hadn't captured a Tailed Beast, it didn't count as a major contribution within the organization.
Meanwhile.
