After a fierce internal struggle, he had considered plenty of plans.
The Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Han, was no pushover. With a title like Steam Ninja, his strength had presumably already reached Kage Level.
Capturing the Five-Tails would also likely cause quite a commotion. Madara Uchiha was still alive, and drawing his attention would be a major headache.
If Madara thought he had potential and sent Black Zetsu to capture and control him to carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan, that would be another serious problem.
Yechen had no desire to get entangled with a man who was already at death's door.
There was another problem: too many Iwagakure Ninja were nearby. If he attacked the Five-Tails Jinchuriki but failed to succeed quickly, another chase would ensue.

Hearing it, Hyuga Jingci immediately activated his Byakugan and looked toward the source. His expression changed drastically.
"Go! He's coming!"
Yechen did not need him to say it. He already knew the man was
