Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

The core problem that prevented Naruto from gathering Sage Chakra was that his key item was permanently sealed in the Kamui dimension.

Without being able to access the key items, one cannot enter that state of complete emptiness, and therefore cannot enter Sage Mode.

But Naruto suddenly discovered this after waking up.

It turns out there's more than one key item!

Naruto finally understood what the happiness of a bonded ninja truly meant.

Even if the front armor is sealed, the backup hidden energy source can still be activated!

"Sage Mode, activate it!"

With a roar, Naruto finally unleashed his chakra, slamming the Sage of Six Paths' mangled body to the ground.

Naruto looked at the cave entrance. The sealed stone door could only stop the powerless sacrifices whose chakra had been absorbed by the sacred relic, but it could not stop him from entering Sage Mode.

But Naruto did not run away immediately.

Only by experiencing suffering can one understand the suffering of all beings; only by having attachments can one be free from them!

Naruto is no longer afraid of the relics; what he needs to do is stop these evil things from harming others!

He escaped today, but tomorrow the incense outside will bring even more offerings and harm even more people!

"bring it on!"

Naruto's eyes were resolute as he assumed an attack stance.

The six fragmented bodies had no consciousness; they only wanted to return to their only home castle.

At this moment, just like Konoha's retreat after being hit by the Crazy Diamond, it wanted to return to its original warm bed and flew towards Naruto like an arrow released from a bow.

Naruto was not afraid at all. Relying on his Sage Mode perception and the Frog Kumite, he threw a punch and sent the relic flying again.

"Super large jade rasengan!"

Without the slightest delay, Naruto followed closely, slamming a massive Rasengan onto the remains of the Six Paths.

The entire cave shook violently.

However, once everything quieted down, they discovered that the relic was still intact.

Indeed, this is the remains of the Sage of Six Paths; how could a mere Rasengan possibly destroy it?

Naruto's expression was solemn.

He touched his tongue.

There is a sun symbol on its tongue.

This is the Six Paths Yang Power given by the Sage of Six Paths in the consciousness space just now.

According to the Sage of Six Paths, if their mother were ever resurrected, he and Sasuke would touch Kaguya with their tongues to seal her away.

But now a problem arises.

Let's set aside whether Sasuke obtained the Yin power for now. Even if he did, Sasuke isn't here.

Yang energy alone cannot perform the sealing function.

Therefore, sealing artifacts is completely impossible.

But then, Naruto suddenly thought of another question.

Bai Mo had previously mentioned his relationship with Sasuke, Ashura, and the reincarnations of Indra.

Sasuke listened attentively at the time, but he didn't care at all.

Suddenly, something popped into Naruto's mind.

For the Sage of Six Paths to appear, the chakra of the nine tailed beasts must be gathered within him, meaning the child of prophecy must appear.

In the real world, he does indeed possess the chakra of all nine tailed beasts.

But in the world of Tsukuyomi, he has nothing.

At most, the dark side killed Gaara and stole the One-Tailed Beast's chakra.

There's only one one-tailed and one nine-tailed.

Why did the Sage of Six Paths still appear?

Is it because the judgment of the Tsukuyomi seal was wrong, and it sensed the nine tailed beasts in his physical body?

Or is it that the conditions for the appearance of the Sage of Six Paths in the world of Tsukuyomi are not these?

After a moment's thought, Naruto understood.

He remembered Bai Mo saying that the Six Paths Elder was also a Jinchūriki, and that he was the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki.

The nine tailed beasts were created by the Sage of Six Paths when he separated the ten tailed beasts.

The nine tailed beasts also stayed by his side year-round, under his care.

In other words, the Sage of Six Paths was not only the Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails, but also the Jinchūriki of the One- to Nine-Tails.

Not long ago, Obito said that Karin Uzumaki did not rely on the water produced by the sacred relics to increase her strength, but rather on the special constitution of the Uzumaki clan, which allows her to absorb the chakra of others.

Similarly, after Nagato summoned the relic, he was able to survive, emaciated and barely alive, by absorbing energy from the relic.

In other words, Naruto Uzumaki, when he was on the verge of death, definitely activated the special physique of the Uzumaki clan and performed a wave of chakra absorption.

However, he was ultimately the son of the Nine-Tails, and the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan was too weak. He didn't even have the standard red hair of the Uzumaki clan; his hair was golden in the Nine-Tails' chakra mode.

Therefore, they didn't absorb much, unlike Nagato who could survive solely by relying on the Uzumaki clan's reverse absorption.

But in any case, he absorbed it in the end.

And because he couldn't resist, unlike Nagato, he didn't immediately break free and release the summoning after absorbing a little chakra.

Naruto absorbed the energy continuously throughout the entire process.

and so……

He obtained the remaining chakra of the nine tailed beasts from the remains of the Sage of Six Paths!

Even though the quantity was pitifully small, not even enough to make a tailed beast cloak, he still managed to obtain it!

This fulfilled the conditions for the Child of Prophecy and activated the Sage of Six Paths!

"Shukaku, help me! You're good at sealing, right?"

Naruto shouted into his body.

The other tailed beasts have too little chakra to fight, but the One-Tail is different.

It is a complete One-Tailed Beast extracted from Gaara's body.

It is more than enough for fighting.

"You despicable Naruto, you killed Gaara who loved you deeply, and you still want me to help you? Bah!"

Shukaku's angry voice echoed in Naruto's mind.

"That's not me, that's my dark side!"

Naruto explained with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

But to Shukaku, these words were nothing but sophistry.

"Get out! I'm being controlled by my dark side now, I told you to get out!"

"..."

"etc."

Before Naruto could say anything, Shukaku's attitude suddenly changed completely.

"Kid, why do you smell like the Six Paths Elder?"

Shouhe was puzzled.

Since Shukaku was absorbed into Naruto Darkness through absorption, the relationship between the two is not that of a Jinchuriki and a Tailed Beast.

It's more like a seal or a sealing container.

Therefore, Shukaku is unaware of what is happening outside.

"..."

Upon hearing Shukaku's question, Naruto showed a sad expression.

—After what just happened, how could he not have the aura of the Sage of Six Paths?

But in order to seal the remains of the Six Paths, Naruto had to use his clever little brain: "That's right, I am the child of prophecy that the Six Paths Elder spoke of, the child of prophecy who can bring happiness to you nine tailed beasts! Shukaku, are you going to go against the arrangements of the Six Paths Elder and fate?"

Upon hearing Naruto's words, Shukaku immediately hesitated.

Soon, Naruto felt a power.

"That's awesome! Prepare to die, Magnet Release: Rasengan!"

Naruto held a black and white twisted Rasengan and pressed it onto the sacred relic.

The magnetic energy continuously eroded the relic, eventually forming a familiar pattern on it.

—It's actually the sealing technique that once sealed Jiraiya: the Virginity Sand!
