Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

"What? Naruto's even learned the Rasengan?"

Minato Namikaze was extremely surprised.

After all, in this world, Naruto is portrayed as someone who hasn't yet participated in the Chunin Exams.

Meanwhile, Sasuke next door has already defected and is wreaking havoc in the ninja world, cutting off arms everywhere.

Facing Naruto's Rasengan, Minato Namikaze revealed a confidence rarely seen in this world. He also condensed a Rasengan in his right hand and, with a look of satisfaction and happiness, clashed it with Naruto's Rasengan.

As a result, not only did Naruto's "Rasengan" explode, but it was also sent flying everywhere by the high-speed rotation of Minato's Rasengan.

It can be said that the original "Rasengan" had a destructive radius of only ten meters when it exploded.

It's about the same size as the area used to deal with Kiba during the Chunin Exams.

However, with Minato Namikaze's cooperation, the killing range increased more than fivefold.

The Rasengan is like a high-speed blender without a protective shield, directly throwing everything inside the balloon out.

The first one to be affected was the villager who had just stepped forward, attempting to bully Minato Namikaze, but was driven away by the stench.

Before they could get far, snow was smeared into their eyes, causing them to scream in pain. As soon as they opened their mouths to scream, snow was smeared into their mouths again.

Miserable.

On the contrary, Minato Namikaze, being a user of the Rasengan, was as calm as if he were in the eye of a typhoon. Apart from a few scratches on his hair and feet, he was completely untouched.

As for his hair, it was already yellow, and Minato Namikaze had just come out of the septic tank. He could throw away his clothes, but he hadn't washed his hair yet.

"Naruto actually learned nature transformation? And he even incorporated it into the Rasengan?"

Minato Namikaze was surprised to see the earth-escape technique creating mud all around him.

Because he had just come out of the septic tank, Minato Namikaze's sense of smell was temporarily impaired, so he didn't notice the problem immediately.

Thinking that Naruto had learned the Earth Release nature transformation and incorporated it into the Rasengan, I couldn't help but admire him.

But is Naruto really an earth-attribute user?

Shouldn't it be wind attribute?

"Forget it, this move is so powerful, if I use it with Naruto against an enemy, wouldn't that be a combination ninjutsu? I need to come up with a name for this ninjutsu..."

It's called the Great Tai Chi Transformation Spiral Ball.

Don't ask why the name of the sage is so short this time.

The name of the Tai Chi Rasengan, which is the prototype for the theatrical version, is also like this, which makes perfect sense.

boom.

Naruto's shadow clone was hit by the snow and disappeared.

Minato Namikaze didn't find it strange and immediately turned his gaze to Naruto on the other side.

"Naruto, I don't know what you did to upset your mother, but you'd better come back with me right now."

I'll tell her about your improved strength; she should spare your life then.

Minato Namikaze patiently and earnestly tried to persuade him.

"..."

Is it just a matter of sparing someone's life? It's not certain yet, so a "probably" has come up?

Naruto remained silent.

"Naruto! What have you done?!"

Minato Namikaze was quite satisfied to see that Naruto remained silent, seemingly "knowing he was wrong," and was about to try to persuade him again when a roar came from the side.

The visitor was Hyuga Neji.

Neji's body was covered in steel needles, making him look like a hedgehog, which stunned Naruto's shadow clone.

It seems that during the Chunin Exams in the real ninja world, Neji was once called a hedgehog by Hanabi.

At the time, he was still wondering what the hedgehog meant.

Now he finally understands.

So this is the Hyuga clan's traditional training method?

To be honest, it does look somewhat similar, except the thorns are a bit short.

"Neji, you've misunderstood. This is actually..."

"Shut up! Naruto, you will be punished for your actions! Don't think that just because I've shut down all my senses except for sight for training, you can escape from me. Surrender, Naruto!"

Neji looked dignified and righteous.

However, by saying this, he inadvertently revealed his own information.

"You've sealed away all your senses except sight? Then how can you hear me?"

Naruto was more curious about this, and out of curiosity, he was too lazy to explain.

"Neji can read your lips because of the Byakugan. Even if you have your back to him, he can still understand you."

Minato Namikaze walked over, offered an explanation, and then looked at Neji, "Neji, Naruto and I actually made this mess together, so please give me some face..."

"I'm giving you face, who do you think you are? If you don't move aside, I'll beat you up too! Wait, you said you're an accomplice too? Then there's no need to wait, I'll take you both down!"

Neji assumed the Gentle Fist stance and charged in front of Minato Namikaze in the next second.

Hanabi and Hinata, who witnessed this scene, were both stunned by what they saw at the Hyuga clan.

How can Neji, who is imprinted with the Tsukuyomi world, be so arrogant?

To be honest, Neji in the real world did have some personality issues before the Chunin Exams, but those were caused by long-term stress and negative emotions.

After the problem was resolved, everything returned to normal.

Moreover, because of the relationship between the main family and the branch family, even Neji in the past, no matter how impulsive his tone was, still had a sense of insecurity in it.

Because he knew that the main family could punish him at any time.

But Neji in this story is incredibly confident when he gets arrogant.

"Holy crap!"

Naruto's shadow clone witnessed Neji fighting his father and was so frightened that it self-destructed and disappeared.

Both of them thought that what was on the ground was just ordinary soil.

When Neji used Gentle Fist, he activated the Eight Trigrams Domain. The surrounding area moved automatically without wind, sweeping up the soil like autumn leaves and swirling within the domain.

This scene would be incredibly cool and stylish if the elements in it were leaves or flames.

But what's inside is...

"Imitation rabbit hair needle!"

Neji suddenly jolted, and the needles stuck in his back shot out in one direction.

That place is exactly where Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique appeared.

Even with a cheat that locks onto targets with white eyes and provides ranged attacks, it's still ineffective against cheats that allow teleportation.

Quick and accurate.

Minato Namikaze was caught off guard and his pressure points were sealed.

"Neji from this world is amazing."

Hinata, who was outside, sighed upon seeing this scene.

As someone who had fought Neji during the Chunin Exams, Hinata could tell.

Of course, any normal person would say the same thing upon seeing Neji defeat Minato Namikaze, even if it was the cowardly version from the Tsukuyomi world.

"What's so amazing about it? What kind of rabbit hair needle is this? It's not actually a needle! It should be made of hair!"

Hanabi looked speechless and complained.

"Hair? What kind of technique is that? How do you know about Hanabi?"

Hinata was curious.

"It was a very fair-skinned, tall older sister who taught me in a dream. Based on the stories Bai Mo told, it should be Kaguya Otsutsuki, right?"

Hanabi tilted her head and said.

"..."

Who is Kaguya Otsutsuki?

Hinata felt like she was falling behind the times.
