Kabuto Yakushi did not want to control the Four Kage!
Otherwise, he would not have come to pass on the information.
Whatever his reasons for doing so, Shihōin Naraku now had to seriously consider whether to take the Four Kage back.
Of course, calling it taking them back was not quite accurate.
After all, the Four Kage were not in Obito's hands yet. They were still sealed by the Shinigami.
As before, Naraku did not care about the Four Kage's combat strength, but he did not want to simply hand them over to Obito Uchiha either.
If the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, is successfully freed from the Shinigami's seal and then falls into Obito's hands, that will mean the Ten-Tails can be born at any time.
Wouldn't that affect the plan a little too much?
If Obito had Minato Namikaze, that would mean Naruto Uzumaki was no longer of any use to him.
Minato Namikaze already had half the Nine-Tails' chakra. With the Nine-Tails chakra from Sora, the ninja monk of the Fire Temple, and the Gold and Silver Brothers added to that, there would be more than enough to summon the Ten-Tails.
At that point, the Nine-Tails inside Naruto would no longer be important.
Of course, it would also be perfectly normal if Obito and Madara Uchiha insisted on collecting the remaining half of the Nine-Tails inside Naruto, but they would not have to be as anxious about it as they were now.

If Obito goes to the Land of Whirlpools himself, no one else will likely be able to stop him unless I send Might Guy and Kakashi.
Naraku had no intention of going himself. As the Supreme Commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces, he could not possibly abandon
