Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Obito, still in his intangible form, arrived beside Dark Naruto, fearing that he too would become a killing machine and be crushed by Naruto.

"What are you doing? Taking revenge on the villagers of Konoha?"

Obito asked.

"No, I'm doing this to complete the task assigned to me by the original body."

Dark Naruto shook his head.

"?"

Obito looked puzzled.

Not only did Obito not understand the answer itself, but he also didn't understand why Dark Naruto cared so much about the promise he made to the original Naruto.

Based on the previous situation, it seems that Dark Naruto was prepared to keep his physical body trapped in that spiritual world forever.

So breaking a contract isn't a big deal, right?

Is there some connection he is unaware of?

For example, Dark Naruto must fulfill the original Naruto's long-cherished wish in order for the original Naruto to "rest in peace"?

"To become like Isshiki Otsutsuki, someone Minato Namikaze found so troublesome that he had to seal him into the Kamui dimension, the power of the Nine-Tails alone is not enough."

Dark Naruto began to explain earnestly.

"..."

Obito was skeptical of this view of Dark Naruto.

Is the Nine-Tails really not strong enough?

He personally tested it.

Let alone a perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who is more powerful than a single Nine-Tails, an ordinary Nine-Tails would be enough to kill Minato Namikaze in Konoha.

But then I thought, if the Minato Namikaze in this world is the Minato Namikaze without limits, then that's not necessarily true.

Perhaps in his heart, no matter how important the village is, it is not as important as his own life.

Furthermore, Kushina, the Hokage of this world, is a perfect Jinchuriki, and according to Naruto, the original Naruto, there is also Hinata with the Tenseigan.

That Dark Naruto's normal Nine-Tails Chakra Mode is indeed a bit lacking.

"So, what are you planning to do? I sense that your strength has improved quite a bit."

Obito tentatively asked this question to see if Naruto would tell him.

Dark Naruto also seemed to be deceived, believing that Obito was still the kind-hearted Uchiha who had been changed by Madara.

Dark Naruto directly told Obito about his situation—

"You know Kaguya Otsutsuki, the progenitor of chakra, right? Even if you don't, Black Zetsu, who is attached to you, should know."

The method to revive Kaguya is to gather a large amount of chakra from the ninja world.

Tailed beasts are necessary, but in addition, countless people are also needed.

Infinite Tsukuyomi absorbs everyone's chakra and supplies it to Kaguya.

If I want to fulfill the will of the original body and become a troublesome opponent for Minato Namikaze, then I must also possess greater strength.

So I…”

"I want to know, how exactly did you manage to become stronger by killing them? Is it some kind of special bloodline limit?"

Obito frowned and interrupted Dark Naruto's long speech.

"Heh, Obito Uchiha, are you stupid? There are countless ways to absorb chakra in the ninja world."

Dark Naruto gave Obito a disdainful look. "You wait, I'll show you another method."

After saying that, Dark Naruto walked outside, seemingly to greet someone.

Sure enough, a figure appeared at the end of the road.

"That's... the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast, Gaara?"

Obito was stunned for a moment.

Given the circumstances, wasn't Konoha currently at war with Sunagakure?

How come the One-Tailed Jinchuriki is here?

They don't seem like they're here to raid the base, otherwise they wouldn't have appeared so openly.

Wait, could this Dark Naruto be thinking of...?

"Gaara, you've come."

"Naruto!"

Gaara rushed forward and hugged Naruto tightly. "I'm sorry, I couldn't persuade Father. No matter what I said, he wouldn't give up the attack on Konoha. I..."

"It's okay, I don't blame you."

Naruto smiled gently, then patted Gaara's head, and then...

"..."

Obito's eyes widened.

This Naruto Uzumaki is simply a born licentious fox spirit!

So, is this situation considered a bonded ninja or a lucky ninja?

Gaara was overjoyed and surprised by the scene before him.

But soon, something went wrong.

Obito remembered what Dark Naruto had told him earlier.

There are countless methods for absorbing chakra in the ninja world.

Could it be that……

That's right, this is a ninjutsu used by a person named Fuka in the real ninja world, called Corpse Demon Kiss.

This special method allows one to absorb the chakra of others until the target is drained dry and dies.

Obito had heard of such a secret technique, but he never expected that Dark Naruto would know it.

While Obito was lamenting, Naruto had already sucked Gaara to death.

Gaara, who escaped the calamity of having his tailed beast extracted in the real world, had his One-Tailed Beast and all of his chakra extracted by Naruto himself in the world of Tsukuyomi.

In the world of Tsukuyomi, having a tailed beast extracted would not only prevent death, but would also grant an extra life.

But Naruto not only extracted the tailed beast, he also drained Gaara's chakra, and he did so again after Gaara was resurrected, thus getting double the reward.

Obito now understood why this was Naruto's dark side; it was just too dark.

He had no intention of killing Kakashi.

This dark Naruto killed his friend Gaara without any qualms.

"You see, I need not only ordinary chakra, but also the chakra of tailed beasts. I want to be like the progenitor of chakra, gathering a massive amount of chakra into myself. I want to become the second Sage of Six Paths!"

Dark Naruto opened his arms and told Obito about his goal.

"..."

Obito was speechless.

Kakashi, just how far can your eyes see?

Kakashi said Naruto looked a lot like him, but he didn't expect it to be this similar.

Even Dark Naruto's goal is exactly the same as his?

At the same time, Obito finally understood the difficulty of his mission in this world.

Surprisingly, someone else shared the same goal as him.

But there's only one set of Tailed Beasts.

"There's no other way. I can use the first method to deal with weak villagers, but I can only use the second method to deal with beings with powerful chakra. Let's go, we need to collect chakra before Mom and Dad come back."

Dark Naruto urged Obito on.

After all, Obito possessed space-time ninjutsu, making him a great helper for traveling.

"Okay, where to next?"

Obito decided to agree first.

As long as he masters the most powerful Nine-Tails, he will naturally be invincible.

As for Dark Naruto, he couldn't possibly acquire all the Tailed Beasts in such a short time.

"Let's go slaughter a few small ninja villages to liven things up first."

"..."

A day passed, and Obito had become numb.

He felt at that moment that he wasn't the villain, but Naruto.

Dark Naruto, leveraging his title as the son of the Hokage and his reputation as a masked man who cultivated goodwill and consistently performed good deeds throughout the ninja world, replicated that scene in Konoha.

They made people queue up, saying they needed to put on a shield, but it was all taken care of in one shot.

"Hey, Obito-san, do you know where there's anywhere to eat around here? I'm getting a little hungry."

Dark Naruto asked Obito, who was following numbly behind him.
