If he somehow could seal the Juubi and didn't even make the attempt, he is the most derelict character in the series. Since we know he's devoted to Konoha, he apparently didn't think this was possible. But did he knew about Jubi? I don't think so. I pretty sure He knew the story which Pain told Naruto about creating jutsu to destroy country and creating the so called Peace Occupation. He never knew about the Jubi resurrection. And Two it was his oversight for kabuto which saved Sasuke if you are forgetting.
