  <p> After Rin, who was someone very special to Obito, was killed, he was taken by hatred towards the Ninja world. Uchiha Madara had for long contained hatred for the Senju clan.

Madara saped into this hatred of Obito and toned Obito's thoughts to suit his own needs. When Madara/Tobi learned that Kushina is about to deliver a child, they made their move, as the time of delivering the child is when the seal is the weakest for a Jinchuruki.

<p>Thus Madara/Tobi attacks Konoha, and in turn the Nine-Tails attacks Konoha.</p>

Inorder to find the snapshots for the answer, I went through the chapter of Kushina and Naruto conversing. And now I'm nostalgic..

But this doesn't answer the question. He already knows how the attack was performed, but he wants to know why.

Can someone please teach me how to maintain paragraphs inside a spoiler block. I use the `>!` to start the spoiler, after hitting a double enter for a para break the `!` appears for each paragraph. No matter how many times i try it is the same result.

@Debal. Madara Uchiha is right. I saw the attack in the Anime. I want to know why he wanted to attack Konoha using the nine tails.

@MadaraUchiha Perhaps there is a way to sort questions where it only contains manga or anime. That way spoilers can be less of a problem.

@debal: Not really new, these tags used to exist and are now blacklisted because they were misused (for every question that was about "manga" or about "anime"). If you want an anime-only answer, just state so in your question.

<p>The question here is not the actual reason of the <em><strong>Nine Tails attack to Konoha</strong></em>, but the actual reason of the <em><strong>Masked Man attack to Konoha</strong></em>.</p>
<p>The attack of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, coincided with Kushina Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails' second jinchūriki, giving birth to Naruto on the night of October 10th. During a female jinchūriki's pregnancy, the energy used to maintain the seal has to be redirected to the growing child in her womb — whether consciously done or not. As a result, the seal used on the beast weakens in direct proportion, and as such special preparations have to be made when a female jinchūriki is about to give birth as the seal may break entirely <a href="http://www.mangareader.net/93-54942-17/naruto/chapter-500.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">(Naruto Episode 500 Pages 8-9)</a>.</p>

<p>Taking advantage of Minato's absence, Tobi forcibly extracted the Nine-Tails from a visibly exhausted Kushina while noting that the Four Symbols Seal also carried the Flying Thunder God Technique seal as a security measure which would enable Minato to teleport to his wife's aid at any time<a href="http://www.mangareader.net/93-55203-2/naruto/chapter-501.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">(Naruto Episode 501 Pages 1-6)</a>.</p>

<p><strong>My analysis:</strong></p>
<p>The main reason however is notably clear. Tobi/Madara took advantage of the <em>weakened seal</em> because of Kushina's child birth and to take control over the Kyuubi.

<p>Yes Kurama did attack Konoha but this was only because he was controlled by Madara’s Sharingan and was forced to attack the hidden leaf. If Karuma wasn’t controlled by Madara/“Tobi” He would’ve destroyed destroyed them first than the leaf village</p>

The question here is not the actual reason of the ***Nine Tails attack to Konoha***, but the actual reason of the ***Masked Man attack to Konoha***.

The attack of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, coincided with Kushina Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails' second jinchūriki, giving birth to Naruto on the night of October 10th. During a female jinchūriki's pregnancy, the energy used to maintain the seal has to be redirected to the growing child in her womb — whether consciously done or not. As a result, the seal used on the beast weakens in direct proportion, and as such special preparations have to be made when a female jinchūriki is about to give birth as the seal may break entirely [(Naruto Episode 500 Pages 8-9)](http://www.mangareader.net/93-54942-17/naruto/chapter-500.html).

![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/9ndpt.jpg)![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/IlH8l.jpg)

However, the childbirth's location was eventually discovered by Tobi, who learned the information by observing Kakashi at the Konoha Cemetery.

![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/0caYa.jpg)

Making his way to the site, Tobi killed the ANBU stationed outside and later Biwako and Taji after the child had been born[(Naruto Episode 500 Pages 13-17)](http://www.mangareader.net/93-54942-14/naruto/chapter-500.html).

![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/r9UYT.jpg)

Holding the newborn Naruto at ransom, he forces Minato to leave the cave via his Flying Thunder God Technique when he sets off the explosive tags he had placed on the newborn's blanket.

![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/kOX42.jpg)![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/mp200.jpg)

Taking advantage of Minato's absence, Tobi forcibly extracted the Nine-Tails from a visibly exhausted Kushina while noting that the Four Symbols Seal also carried the Flying Thunder God Technique seal as a security measure which would enable Minato to teleport to his wife's aid at any time[(Naruto Episode 501 Pages 1-6)](http://www.mangareader.net/93-55203-2/naruto/chapter-501.html).

As the Nine-Tails finally emerged from the seal, Tobi used his Sharingan to gain control of the tailed beast and commands it to destroy Konoha.

**My analysis:**

The main reason however is notably clear. Tobi/Madara took advantage of the *weakened seal* because of Kushina's child birth and to take control over the Kyuubi. The attack to Konoha is just a secondary effect from Tobi taking control of the Kyuubi. The attack was merely a prerequisite of his main plan of collecting the Kyuubi. We knew that the [Eye of the Moon Plan](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Eye_of_the_Moon_Plan) requires all the tailed beast in order to form the Bijuu; and the very root of these plan is to fill the empty hole in the heart of Obito[(Naruto Episode 530 "What can fill the hole" Pages 4-5)](http://www.mangareader.net/naruto/630/5).
