Three-Tails Attacked!

Jūzō Biwa's early addition caused Akatsuki to make a slight adjustment to its plan for capturing the tailed beasts.

Jūzō Biwa still held considerable status in Kirigakure, so he naturally knew many 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 the people monitoring the Jinchuriki, providing Akatsuki with the greatest possible convenience. Afterward, Jūzō Biwa would merely have to defect from Kirigakure completely and join Akatsuki. There was no loss for him.

Besides having Jūzō Biwa as an insider, the main reason Akatsuki struck Kirigakure first was that Kirigakure had two intact Jinchuriki. They could capture both in a single operation.

If they only took one, it would be difficult to make another move afterward. 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 fighting and join forces against them.

Therefore, before they could be targeted, Black Zetsu wanted to seize the Three-Tails and Six-Tails in one go. Of course, capturing the Jinchuriki of the Three-Tails and Six-Tails was relatively simple. After all, they were also extremely unwelcome in Kirigakure and could only wander alone in isolation and desolation. That was Akatsuki's advantage.

Their greatest advantage was still Jūzō Biwa, their insider.

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

When Sunagakure's Jinchuriki had been taken, at least there had been resistance. So what if the losses were severe? Sometimes, suffering severe losses was less humiliating than losing someone for no apparent reason.

As long as they
