Kirigakure.
Gekkō Raito stood on high ground, watching those clans move into the village with great fanfare and settle into their newly designated clan grounds.
The first step of the plan had been completed perfectly.
In the days ahead, these clans' "populations" would keep growing. They would tell outsiders that these were clan members recalled from elsewhere, and no one would be able to verify it.
With this influx of fresh blood, Kirigakure's overall strength was soaring like a rocket.
At the same time, Gekkō Raito was considering another matter.
Should he release the tailed beast chakra he had copied inside his body and find a few more jinchūriki?
A few more jinchūriki meant a few more nuclear deterrents, giving Kirigakure more backbone.

There was no immediate rush, but he could put it on the agenda.

Counting the one-tail Shukaku chakra, which was now nothing but an empty shell, he had already dealt with four of the nine tailed beasts.
Once he collected the chakra of the remaining five, he might be able to create a Ten-Tails by hand inside his own body and advance straight to a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

From a distance, it looked as though he was holding a lightsaber from Star Wars.
