Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

"So, give me a straight answer, will you agree or not?"

Dark Naruto walked up to Naruto and extended his hand.

"Okay, I agree, but you have to be back within three days. If you don't come back, I'll come looking for you."

Naruto grasped Dark Naruto's hand.

"Three days? Isn't it seven days? It seems you don't even trust yourself, Naruto. You actually gave yourself four whole days to come looking for me? Have you forgotten what I just said? I have all your memories."

Dark Naruto held Naruto's hand and gave him a mocking smile.

"Hehe, just in case."

Naruto scratched his head and grinned foolishly.

But Naruto secretly despises Dark Naruto.

What do you mean by having all memories? That's a lie.

He simply possesses the memories of this world.

At the same time, Naruto couldn't help but feel a little proud. He, Uzumaki Naruto, was indeed a kind-hearted being, even his dark side was so friendly.

"Alright, since you've agreed, I'll go to Konoha over the next three days to achieve your goal. You can stay here."

Dark Naruto spoke.

"Wait a minute, I suddenly realized, why should I stay here waiting for you? Why don't I just come with you?"

Naruto slapped his forehead, realizing he had just been stupid.

They were so foolish as to ask Dark Naruto to come back within three days. If he had gone with him, they could have kept a close watch on him.

"If you want to look at me, just lower your head, won't that solve the problem?"

Dark Naruto grinned.

"What?"

Naruto was startled, and looked down to find that the lake surface seemed to have turned into a mirror, reflecting his image, although the angle was a bit off...

Is this from Dark Naruto's perspective?

This lake actually has this effect? ​​It allows me to see what Dark Naruto sees?

Naruto was somewhat surprised; wasn't this just like the live broadcast he was watching in the real ninja world?

"Now you can rest assured."

Dark Naruto released Naruto's hand and walked towards the shore.

Naruto nodded, said nothing more, and sat down on the spot.

"Naruto, how did you get out here? What happened to your dark side?"

When Obito saw Naruto walking out alone, he was immediately puzzled.

"That's me."

Dark Naruto spoke.

"What?"

Obito was startled. "You are...? You mean, you've taken over Naruto's consciousness?"

"That's right, he's waiting in the mental space right now. The roles have reversed. Unless I need his power, he'll never come back."

Dark Naruto revealed a smug smile.

The real waterfall is the intersection where the spiritual world and the real world overlap.

Obito, who was outside, couldn't actually see what Naruto had just experienced.

By choosing to let Dark Naruto leave, he essentially handed over control of his body to the dark consciousness, allowing that consciousness to leave the mental world and take over his body.

To bring Naruto's consciousness back, the only way is to make Dark Naruto want to use Naruto's power, just like when Naruto used the Nine-Tails' chakra to become a fox demon boy.

This is practically impossible.

After all, the Nine-Tails' power was too great, while Naruto's own power was too weak.

Naruto's only advantage is his Sage Mode, but the style of Sage Mode is sealed in the Kamui dimension, making him practically useless.

Killer Bee repeatedly reminded Naruto before leaving, precisely to prevent this situation from occurring.

If something goes wrong, Naruto himself has no ability to resist in the mental space.

Therefore, he needs someone outside to help him bring Dark Naruto back.

And this person was Obito.

Of course, Killer Bee didn't know Obito; he knew the masked man.

After guiding Nagato to establish the Akatsuki organization, the masked man transformed into a peace organization, frequently traveling around the world to do good deeds for free.

As the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization, the masked man never hesitated to contribute his labor and often personally did good deeds.

It is said that the Akatsuki organization was formed by gathering powerful ninjas who were unwilling to serve the dark ninja villages.

Every single one of them is a great philanthropist.

Their Hidden Cloud Village was one of the few that hadn't received this much help from the Akatsuki.

The village that received the most help was Iwagakure, their sworn enemy.

Therefore, Killer Bee's knowledge of the masked man was limited; he could only know from intelligence reports that the man was a kind and helpful person.

Since Obito is willing to help others, we can definitely put our minds at ease leaving Naruto's affairs to him.

To Kirabi's utter surprise, the masked man's account was logged in from another location and someone else had taken over his account.

"But don't worry, I inherited all the memories of the original body. I will fulfill my promise to you and lead Minato Namikaze into your Kamui dimension."

Dark Naruto glanced at the somewhat surprised Obito and said casually.

"That's good. Without further ado, let's head to Konoha."

After calming down, Obito nodded.

He only needs to achieve his goal; whether it's Naruto's true form or his dark side assisting him is irrelevant.

Rather, he actually hoped his partner would be the dark side of Naruto.

At least this dark side of Naruto might still be able to remain a partner after learning his true goal, instead of treating him as an enemy.

-

Leaf.

Upon learning that Konoha had been attacked and that Sunagakure and Iwagakure intended to invade the border, Kushina and Minato each led a team of ninjas to repel the enemy.

At this moment, with no tigers in the mountains, Dark Naruto's once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has arrived!

The person in charge of temporarily handling affairs was Shizune, the secretary that Kushina had taken from Tsunade.

In the Hokage's office, Naruto ran to Shizune in a panic.

"Shizune-nee, something terrible has happened! The Otsutsuki Isshiki that my dad sealed away has broken free!"

"What? Really?"

Jingyin slammed her hand on the table and stood up anxiously.

Before leaving, Kushina entrusted her with the most important task: to always check on the safety of the village, keep a close eye on Kakashi, and prevent him from using Kamui to clean the toilet, lest Isshiki escape.

The mute function was indeed executed.

But why is it still like this now...?

"Wait, Naruto, didn't you leave the village? Where did you get this information from?"

Suddenly, Jingyin realized what was happening.

"It's not Kakashi-sensei's eye, it's another eye, the same Mangekyou Sharingan as Kakashi-sensei's eye. That mysterious masked man activated the Kamui dimension and released Isshiki!"

I saw it with my own eyes!

What's even more terrifying is that the masked man told him that Kaguya had been sealed away and the restriction of not killing with her technique had been lifted.

He slaughtered every single civilian in that village!

Dark Naruto continues his acting prowess, giving false intelligence reports.

As for his purpose, it will soon be revealed.
