Why was the Shinobi War started if

> Kyuubi chakra was all that was needed? Without Naruto (Kyuubi) and Killer B
> (Hachibi) being captured, the eternal genjutsu (Moon Eye) was initiated by
> Tobi/Madara. The reason being they could do it, is because they had one of
> Hachibi's tentacles (courtesy: Sasuke) and Kyuubi's chakra (Gold and Silver
> brothers). So which means all they needed was a sample of Kyuubi chakra
> (since all 7 Tailed Beasts were sealed, it was powerful enough to begin Moon
> Eye, also they had Hachibi's tentacle). Why did Tobi initiate the war if he

His ambition could have been achieved without any war.

Why was the Shinobi War started?


The aim was to revive the Ten-Tails in its prime and that is why they wanted
to seal both _Kyuubi_ and _Gyuuki_ completely too. But after the _Edo Tensei_
was released by _Itachi_ , _Obito_ lost all the revived Jinchuuriki's of the
other 7 tailed beasts. Though he had them sealed, he couldn't use them in the
battle anymore and facing both Naruto and Killer B alone would have been
difficult for him.

Thus he decided to revive the Ten-Tails with just the 7 beasts and the little
chakra samples of Kyuubi and Gyuuki he already had(sealed Kinkaku, Ginkaku and
a piece of the tail of Gyuuki) so that he could become its Jinchuuriki and
complete the _Eye of the Moon plan._

Here is a sequence of images from the Manga, which will help you understand
the whole thing better. Most of it is from the [Manga Episode
594](http://www.mangahit.com/naruto/594/7), and is finally out in the anime
too, Naruto Shippuden Episode 341.
