Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

"Naruto! You haven't eaten at my ramen for a week! Why?!"

Uncle Ichiraku walked up to Naruto, who had slid down from the gates of Konoha, with a gloomy expression.

Naruto was still completely bewildered.

When did Uncle Ichiraku become so strong?

As for why I haven't eaten ramen for a week...

Is not this nonsensical?

He had been eating Ichiraku Ramen for over a decade, but he had only been eating home-cooked meals for a few days after arriving in the world of Tsukuyomi.

With food at home, he had long forgotten about Ichiraku Ramen.

I guess I'll have to get used to the food at home before I start thinking about my favorite ramen again.

"Uncle Ichiraku, you've misunderstood. I just suddenly wanted to eat home-cooked meals these past few days, so..."

Naruto didn't care about anything else and quickly started to explain.

He was traveling in Sage Mode just now, and even so, he couldn't react to Uncle Ichiraku's speed. This is no joke.

"Suddenly craving home-cooked food? Naruto, who are you kidding? Everyone knows you used to get beaten up by the Hokage every few days because you ate too much out and couldn't eat dinner?"

Naruto, you really betrayed the ramen. You've hurt me so much.

Uncle Ichiraku, as if possessed by a yandere, pulled out a kitchen knife from behind his back and approached Naruto step by step.

"Uncle Ichiraku, I have something to do. I'll explain later. I need to go now..."

Naruto thought to himself that he still had to complete Obito's mission and take his father away.

Whether or not you like ramen is a trivial matter that can be explained later when you have more time.

So Naruto got up from the ground, left a sentence, and prepared to leave.

This time, Naruto directly activated Nine-Tails Mode, transforming into a fox demon boy.

Naruto transformed into a golden ray of light and leaped into the air.

However, the golden light flew halfway before turning back sharply and crashing heavily to the ground.

Uncle Ichiraku still managed to stop Naruto, kicking him off the stage.

Naruto was completely dumbfounded.

If even Nine-Tails Mode can't escape, what other way is there?

Having given up on running away, Naruto then realized that Ichiraku's name was the same as Bai Mo's, a light pink, even lighter than Bai Mo's.

This means that Uncle Ichiraku's bullying value is very low.

But looking at Uncle Ichiraku's domineering and forceful nature now, he doesn't seem like someone with low bullying value at all.

Naruto opened the details screen.

[Otsutsuki Ichiraku (Otsutsuki Isshiki): He bullied his comrade Kaguya when he descended upon the ninja world a thousand years ago, but was killed by Kaguya in retaliation...]

Naruto was stunned after seeing Ichiraku's information.

No wonder Uncle Ichiraku is so powerful, he's actually an Otsutsuki?

Moreover, the reason why Uncle Yile's bullying value is so low is because, like Bai Mo, he has only done one bullying thing.

He has even suffered retribution.

Just like in the real ninja world, after being killed by Kaguya, Otsutsuki Isshiki was left with only half of his body and was extremely weak.

Fortunately, he found a host in time.

The difference is that in the real ninja world, Otsutsuki Isshiki encountered a monk named Jigen, and from then on, he parasitized Jigen's ear.

For thousands of years, Ichishiki has been trying to find a way to revive.

Although, judging from the reality of the ninja world, his so-called schemes were no different from being idle for a thousand years.

However, the Otsutsuki Isshiki who imprinted the Tsukuyomi world encountered not Jigen, but a noodle cook named Teji.

Furthermore, this was not encountered when one had abundant life force, but rather when one was truly on the verge of death.

At that time, Yishi was only five minutes away from complete death.

Until the chef appeared and went to the toilet.

In order to survive, Shiki absorbed the nutrients from it and, after regaining a little strength, immediately parasitized Tetsuji's body.

Furthermore, because Yi Shi was too weak, he did not parasitize the ear, but instead parasitized the intestines of Shou Da nearby.

Perhaps due to the unsanitary conditions of its habitat, after thousands of years, the style and the hand-stamped style have become indistinguishable, and it has developed some mental problems.

Naruto carries the scent of a tailed beast, which for Isshiki is the scent of the Ten-Tails—a scent he deeply desires. That's why Ichiraku-san shows Naruto extra care.

Furthermore, because Isshiki was killed after bullying Kaguya, he developed a psychological trauma related to bullying, so he has never bullied anyone in the past thousand years.

Of course, to the villagers of Konoha, Isshiki's thinking is completely that of a weakling. He is even more cowardly than someone who only knows how to swing his sword at the weak but dares not swing it at the strong.

Once bitten by a snake, one is afraid of a well rope for a thousand years.

"Ichiraku-san is actually Isshiki Otsutsuki?"

Naruto was stunned.

The moment Naruto heard the name Otsutsuki Isshiki, he immediately thought of the Otsutsuki that Bai Mo and the Akatsuki organization were looking for in the real ninja world, the one lurking in the ninja world.

Uncle Ichiraku is kind to me because I have tailed beast chakra in my body?

The reason he's so angry now is because he thinks he, as the "Ten-Tails," betrayed him?

The commotion caused by Ichiraku quickly attracted the attention of the village's ninjas.

But none of the ninjas who arrived were a match for Ichiraku.

Fortunately, Ichiraku didn't kill anyone. Just like the naturally kind Uchiha, Ichiraku didn't feel much pain even when the people he knocked away were in order to prevent himself from bullying others.

They were all simply knocked unconscious without any pain.

"Who dares to invade Konoha? Is it Orochimaru again? What? It's Ichiraku Takumi?"

Hinata, having activated her Tenseigan, arrived and transformed into a streak of blue light, blocking Ichiraku's path.

"Great, Hinata's here!"

Naruto was overjoyed when he saw this.

He had recently witnessed firsthand the terrifying power of Hinata with the Tenseigan in this world; she was someone who could rival his mother, Kushina.

We're safe now.

"Naruto?"

Hinata heard Naruto's shout and instinctively turned around. Immediately, images of the Hyuga clan members lecturing filled her mind, and she fainted, falling straight to the ground.

Fortunately, Hanabi appeared in time, rescued the older sister, and then disappeared without a trace.

Naruto's expression immediately froze.

"Naruto, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"

Jiraiya jumped out from the side.

Naruto was immediately deeply moved.

He thought Jiraiya and Orochimaru were planning to stay in the Fire Temple until he completed his mission before coming out.

Sure enough, even the sassy immortals of this world care about me.

"Gou-Dai-Da Rasengan!"

Jiraiya pushed a Rasengan no bigger than a candy bean and pressed it, only to be kicked away by Ichiraku.

"..."

Naruto's smile froze. "Wait, you sage, is that a Giant Rasengan? Why is it so small?"

Could it be that the Sage of Good Fortune and Orochimaru have done too much and are now too weak?

"No, be careful of him, his eye technique!"

Jiraiya, lying on the ground, struggled to pass on information to Naruto.

Suddenly, Yi Le removed his lower body clothing, revealing an ancient, black-gold eye in a mysterious location.
