Since Obito can travel through space-time, I wonder why he didn't just
teleport to all those jinchuuriki? He could then easily bring them to an
Akatsuki hideout where the combined force of them could capture them without
others interfering.

Why can Tobi not just use space-time ninjutsu to capture Bee and Naruto?


The answer is because of the nature of his jutsu. His jutsu works by moving
whole or part of his body into the other space. His jutsu has a weakness in
that the bigger the object he is transporting, the longer the time needed for
him to do it. This was noted by Konan and was mentioned during the fight
between Konan and Tobi when the latter was about to retrieve the Rinnegan from
Nagato's corpse. If I remember correctly, to move his entire body he needs
about 5 seconds.

Now add another person to the equation and you get 10 whole seconds before he
can do the jutsu successfully. 10 seconds next to a Jinchuuriki that knows
you're going to kill him. There's no way they're just going to sit tight and
enjoy the trip. So this makes kidnapping the Jinchuuriki and ganging up on
them at the hideout like you're suggesting as an impossible thing to do.
