Over the next few years, Uchiha Obito cleverly devised various difficult and dangerous missions, using the loved ones of the targeted shinobi as leverage. When these shinobi encountered overwhelming hardships and setbacks during their missions, pushing their personal convictions to the brink of collapse, Obito would step in at the opportune moment, forcing them down the path of rogue ninja.
Once these shinobi chose to betray Kirigakure, Nagato would appear, displaying his overwhelming and formidable strength to easily defeat them. Immediately afterward, Nagato would use the Akatsuki's unique ideology to brainwash the defeated, gradually absorbing them into the organization. In this way, these former enemies were transformed into capable generals assisting Obito in advancing his Eye of the Moon Plan.

It involved a multitude of complex trials: fostering their identification with the Akatsuki while continuously elevating their combat prowess. After all, only subordinates with similar ideals and peerless strength could play the greatest role at critical moments.
