What makes you think there is a version `5.6.9.Final`?

<https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.hibernate/hibernate-gradle-plugin|https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.hibernate/hibernate-gradle-plugin>
There is info that hibernate moved to `org.hibernate.orm` which is same as plugin so it can be an issue?

It seems they did not release to plugin portal before 6.0.0 and also did not publish the marker artifact to Maven Central, so you need to add a plugin resolution block in your settings script to map from ID to actual dependency

Something like
```pluginManagement {
    resolutionStrategy {
        eachPlugin {
            if (requested.id.namespace == "org.hibernate.orm") {
                useModule("org.hibernate:hibernate-gradle-plugin:${requested.version}")
            }
        }
    }
}```
