In the anime, the nine tails were summoned by Madara/Tobi during Naruto's
birth and made to attack Konoha. Later Minato saved the village. For what
reason the nine tails was made to attack Konoha?

What is the actual reason behind the Nine Tails attack?


Madara/Tobi had taken control of the Nine-Tails, but during his battle with
Minato, Minato removed the Nine-Tails from the control of Tobi. Then Tobi
escapes from the battle.

This is where the Nine-Tails was summoned by Madara/Tobi in Konoha (chapter
502):

This is when Minato removes the Nine-Tails from the control of Madara/Tobi

This is when Madara/Tobi escapes:

Now, since no one was present to control the Nine-Tails, he went on a rampage
and thus attacked the village.

Initially, Madara/Tobi wanted to keep control of the Nine-Tails and use its
power for himself, and destroy Konoha. But now the Nine-Tails was a loose
canon destroying Konoha on its own free will.

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

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

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

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

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.

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).

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
