Should have been super simple for him to do.

Kamui each, bring it back, seal it, rinse and repeat.

Instead, he had two-bit lackeys go and search for them, taking forever in doing so.

Obito probably wanted the Akatsuki members to go and try to catch them so they can all die, and Obito can come out of the shadows.

Because he didn't want to break his cool. He had the other Akatsuki members to take care of it for him. It would have been pretty odd if this goofy looking guy suddenly just went and captured the tailed beasts by himself.

Because of the plot.

I don't think Kamui'ing into the Tailed Beats home and stealing them under cover of darkness would do good for the story.

The series would be over in about 10 chapters if this method was used. Besides, he needed to manipulate the Akatsuki, because this was part of his plan.

Biju are nothing more the massive forms of chakra... Obito's Kamui cannot be used on chakra... That plus the facet that he has to be touching the object and the larger the object is the more strain would be put on his eye... And its MS not EMS so there is a limit to what he can do...

"Plot"

But I think using the akatsuki to do the job was mostly to conceal his identity better and gather a group of fighters that could ward off enemies and potential hazards later on.

He could do it all himself technically, which is probably why he was so nonchalant before. I'm also not sure how Obito could know which jinchuurikis were jinchuurikis. That's intel and recon stuff that the zetsus are best at. And even when he does have that knowledge he needed Nagato to use the gedo mazo statue and help with the sealing I think.

In the end there were way too many things Obito needed to handle, and having a bunch of freaks running around doing the job for him probably made it easier for him to focus on other things. He could easily do it himself later anyways.

Also he still needs to subdue them. I don't think you can seal a perfectly able fighter. If he sucks them away and brings them to the statue to seal (which apparently needs quite a few people to make it manageable) then what? I think they need to be properly beaten and unconscious to make the sealing easier. So he'd still need to fight them and stuff.

edit: But mostly because of plot.

Still Kakashi did use Kamui on 8-tails. Lol

Doubt that his eye have a limit, most likely just an range. Since he kamui a big chain for 8 tails.

This is completely false.

Kakashi was using Lightning Blade in the Kamui dimension, which requires chakra.

Too risky

he needs the jinchuriki to be KO'd and kamui isn't enough to do that

also he needed members for the extraction, so might as well have them collect the beasts too.

I said he cant use Kamui on chakra as in using it on chakra in order to transport it I didn't say he couldn't use chakra in the Kamui dimension...

I did say Obito's Kamui and by Obito's Kamui I mean the sharingan that Obito has on his face... not both his eyes thus making Kakashi irrelevant to a counter claim xD

Really?

Because I specifically remember Kakashi kamuing a Kage Bunshin and Rasengan. Which are made of chakra.

probably cause he wouldnt been able to do it by himself not to mention his fighting style isnt meant for fighting bijuu and then eventually some village would notice bijuu fighting him

I've always asked this, & its Complete PnJ

There is not 1 answer on here that is satisfactory enough that goes against pnj, yet all the plot arguments are strong.

Because it will just be over in a few moments and thus SUPER BORING!!
And this was the best way to access the potential of the members. Again it also has another point: Do you remember the part where it was stated that Akatsuki served as a replacement to the millitary system of a hidden village? It was also for this perspective.Obito also wanted to get rid of the Shinobi system from the inside-out as that would ultimately serve his purpose!
Hope it helped.......

Yeah but my point is that he could easily do the same thing as he did against 8-tails.

Simple get close by using Kamui and then summon that chain that 'stuns' then or 'suppresses' the bijuus :)
