Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

This is a silent tug-of-war, with two people from different times and spaces giving it their all.

Naruto glanced at the Tailed Beast Ball that was being held in mid-air by the Shadow Binding Technique, scratched his head, and for a moment didn't know what was going on.

Naruto was well aware that this was forcing Obito to remain in his Hollowfication state, which would prevent him from unleashing another technique.

So what happens then?

There has to be a goal to bring things to a close, right?

This can't go on forever.

Therefore, Naruto decided to reveal some of the information he obtained from the real ninja world.

"Um, Mom, Obito's Hollowfication used to last a maximum of five minutes, but now that he's in Six Paths Mode, it's hard to say whether it will last longer."

We need to think of a solution; we can't just keep dragging this on."

"Have you thought of a solution yet?"

Kushina remained calm, glanced at Naruto, and asked.

"not yet."

"Then squat over there and think about it. We'll talk about it when you've figured it out."

"Oops...no, that's not right!"

Naruto had only taken two steps after turning around when he realized he had been tricked.

But Naruto wanted to turn around and say something, yet he didn't know how, because he truly had no other choice.

Naruto had no choice but to actually squat in the corner.

But he wasn't just squatting in the corner, because he spotted a familiar figure there.

Shikamaru, as a member of the Nara clan, is actually slacking off here and not using the Shadow Binding Technique to control the Tailed Beast Ball!

Naruto opened his mouth, about to ask Shikamaru for help, when he suddenly remembered the last time he asked his friends for help, but in the end they didn't come up with any ideas.

Last time Shikamaru didn't offer him any advice, and this time Naruto knew that pleading was useless. So, he gritted his teeth and started threatening Shikamaru: "Shikamaru, how dare you slack off here? This is war! You're a deserter! I'm going to tell Mom about your crime and make her punish you by making you do hard labor every day!"

"Naruto?!"

Shikamaru was startled when he heard Naruto's voice.

Upon recognizing Naruto, Shikamaru reverted to his lazy demeanor: "What does your punishment of making Tenten do hard labor have to do with me, Shikamaru?"

Shikamaru knew that Naruto was a good-natured person, and the label of deserter was too big for him. If Kushina put it on him, she might just execute him. So there was no need to worry about Naruto betraying him. Shikamaru was fearless and simply became a ruthless coward.

"..."

Naruto never expected that even after making a painful decision to "turn to the dark side," he still couldn't threaten Shikamaru.

What else can we do now?

Are we going to have to use the aphrodisiac technique?

Is it effective against Shikamaru?

In the real-world ninja world, Shikamaru seems to hate women the most.

Naruto thought quickly, but because his intelligence in this area wasn't very high, and he even had some path dependency, he was still thinking about it.

If the Rasengan doesn't work, try the Shadow Clone Jutsu; if the Shadow Clone Jutsu doesn't work, try the Shitara Jutsu; if neither works, combine the two.

But believe it or not, when Naruto thought of this, a sudden inspiration flashed in his mind.

Naruto formed hand seals and created a scantily clad shadow clone of himself, which fell in front of Shikamaru.

"Naruto, what do you mean by this?"

Shikamaru was dumbfounded.

"Shikamaru, if you don't help me, I'm going to shout! Then everyone, including my mom, will know you're a Bond-type ninja!"

"..."

Naruto's words stumped Shikamaru.

"Naruto, I give up. Shut up right now, release the Shadow Clones. You want me to help? Tell me, what do you want me to help with?"

Shikamaru longed for a peaceful life. He really didn't want Naruto to label him a "bond ninja," because being targeted by others would be worse than death.

"That's how it is..."

Naruto expressed his thoughts, saying he didn't understand what his mother wanted to do.

Furthermore, Naruto believed that Obito, like his own dark side, was influenced by negative emotions, which led to his current state. He believed Obito had his reasons and could be redeemed, so he shouldn't be completely eliminated.

"However, the Hokage's current goal is to wipe him out completely."

Shikamaru gave Naruto a meaningful look.

"What? Absolutely not!"

Naruto couldn't sit still any longer.

Even in the world of illusion, he must protect everything. If he can't even protect the people in the illusion, then he has no right to protect the real ninja world.

"Absolutely not. And then what? Naruto, do you want to save Obito Uchiha? That's simple. You just need to launch a Tailed Beast Ball to break the Shadow Binding Technique, and he will be able to escape."

But what happens after that?

Even if he doesn't use any moves, and he becomes our opponent himself, can we defeat him?

"If it weren't for the need for our strength to defeat Isshiki, he would have been determined to kill us, or at least the Hokage, without hesitation. Do you understand, Naruto?"

After Shikamaru explained the situation, Naruto collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

In that case, he can't do anything.

Ultimately, it was because his power was too weak.

Naruto, aware of his own weakness, will not become obsessed with pursuing power.

Because he was the reincarnation of an Asura, he found himself weak and began searching for companions.

and so……

"Sasuke, I wish you were here... Wait a minute! That's right, Sasuke!"

Upon thinking of Sasuke, Naruto jumped up excitedly.

He finally came up with a solution that would satisfy both sides, or at least a way to temporarily end the conflict between the two sides!

Naruto ignored Shikamaru and excitedly ran to Kushina: "Mom, I have a way to stop Obito from using his technique, giving us some time to prepare. Can you stop?"

"Oh?"

Kushina looked at Naruto with suspicion.

Naruto has such wisdom?

"Tell me first. If it's true, I can have someone stop the operation. This time it was too rushed, and we were indeed unprepared."

Kushina's statement about insufficient preparation refers to the lack of preparation for dealing with Obito.

After all, Yishi is a madman. Even if he can't be sealed, can't he at least dodge it if he can't beat him?

There's always a way.

However, Obito is a being with Six Paths-level power, subjective consciousness, and cunning schemes; he is a threat that must be eliminated.

"That's right, I received the Yang power inheritance from the Six Paths Elder, who said that Sasuke could also obtain Yin power."

"Didn't Obito want us to defeat Isshiki? As long as we find Sasuke, and he and I team up, we can definitely defeat Isshiki."

After Naruto finished speaking with Kushina and received her approval, he quickly went to Kakashi and asked him to activate Kamui, which teleported him into the Kamui dimension.

After Naruto entered the Kamui dimension, he was originally going to activate Sage Mode to sense where Obito was, but he found that he didn't need to at all.

Obito was in the air at this moment, relying on his Six Paths level fighting skills and patience to withstand the relentless attack of Otsutsuki Isshiki!

"Naruto?"

Obito, being a Six Paths level being and the master of the Kamui dimension, immediately sensed Naruto's entry.
