At that very instant, the Four-Tails Tailed Beast, Son Gokū, who had been rampaging and preparing to slaughter everyone around him, was forcibly stopped in his tracks. The entire Tailed Beast froze there, utterly motionless.
Seeing this, Nagato, Yahiko, and the others nearby hurriedly ordered the Akatsuki members beside them to retreat, afraid that a single careless move would get them trampled into dust by the Tailed Beast.

Hearing the words "strategic weapon," Nagato and Yahiko grew immensely excited and nodded repeatedly.
The reason the Five Great Shinobi Villages were the Five Great Shinobi Villages was, in fact, that they controlled the
