Amegakure.
"How did it go?"
Konan stepped out of the shadows, staring at Obito, who wore the Spiral Mask, and Zetsu a short distance away.
"The Four-Tails Jinchūriki, Roshi, has been captured."
Obito's voice was cold. Beside him, the unconscious Roshi lay dumped on the ground.
"..."
After a moment's silence, Konan's gaze sharpened, but she said nothing.
This man who called himself Madara Uchiha had been dropping his act more and more lately, exposing all sorts of things.
And then there was Zetsu.
Konan's intuition told her that something was definitely wrong with him.
Take the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, for instance.
Although Madara Uchiha was supposedly the one using it, Konan believed Zetsu was its real caster.

Konan glanced at Obito Uchiha and shook her head slightly.
"We can't keep dragging this out. What's happening in Konoha has me on edge."
Nagato stared at the upright coffins nearby, his expression unreadable on his gaunt face.
"Let's use the chakra of the previous Jinchūriki to fill in for now, then top it up little by little afterward."

He had come up with this approach himself, but would it work?
Strangely enough, he simply couldn't find the bodies of the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Neither Kushina Uzumaki's nor Mito Uzumaki's.
He could only use Kumogakure's Kinkaku and Ginkaku as substitutes.
Glancing at the coffins in the room,
