Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

"Naruto Uzumaki, I'm here to help you!"

When Karin saw this, she knew that Naruto was definitely not lying to her. It was her turn to take action. She couldn't just stand by and watch; she had to go and lend a helping hand.

Karin jumped out, her Vajra Lock chains binding Sasuke's Susanoo's arms to the ground, restricting Susanoo's attacks.

"The Uzumaki clan has united? Is this all the power they have?"

Sasuke heard the familiar voice, sneered, and Susanoo's body grew taller, transforming into a complete human form. It was only one step away from its complete form: armor fusion.

The fact that Sasuke could reach this level without the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan or Rinnegan demonstrates the strength of his eye power.

"You've done me a lot by pushing me to this point, but this is the end!"

Sasuke controlled Susanoo and with a casual kick, he destroyed most of Naruto's shadow clone.

The remaining shadow clones, like ants, crawled onto Susanoo's body and, to Karin's astonishment, burrowed into Susanoo's nostrils.

At the same time, Karin, whose chains had been broken, glanced at the ground, where Naruto's original body had left his ninja tool pouch before going up.

Because of the tremor caused by Susanoo's foot stomping on the ground, a book fell out of the half-open ninja world bag.

Karin initially thought this was a novel written by Jiraiya, but the cover illustration looked very serious, which piqued her curiosity.

As someone who was born to be from Konoha Village and who received the rightful inheritance from Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze, how could Naruto possibly read a proper novel?

Karin also remembered that Naruto was often reading a novel on the way here. She didn't pay attention at the time, but now it seems that this was the one.

Karin stepped forward and confirmed that there was only this one novel in the ninja tool bag, thus confirming her guess.

This is even stranger. Why would Naruto watch this before the big battle begins? To relax? That's impossible, right?

Karin took it out and saw that the book was called "Vampire Hunter," which should be a fantasy novel.

That shouldn't be the case.

Is Naruto really just relaxing by reading novels?

Karin opened it with some skepticism and finally discovered the problem.

This novel tells the story of the protagonist, Haima, a vampire hunter who travels the ninja world, fighting against evil vampire families.

The vampires here possess a magical inherited eye. When stimulated or witnessing the death of a close relative, their eyes open and they gain power, making them an inherently evil race.

Furthermore, due to its extreme evil, it was cursed, and its opened eyes will gradually lose their light with use.

To gain eternal power, one might even need to transplant the eyes of a close relative.

This is so reminiscent of the Uchiha clan. If you look at it upside down, isn't it just like the Uchiha clan?

Looking closer at that vampire hunter Haima, could it be the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju?

However, according to historical records, wasn't Tobirama Senju the one who most admired the Uchiha clan, who were inherently kind?

However, Karin understood where Naruto's techniques for dealing with the Uchiha came from.

The book, told from the perspective of vampire hunter Haima, describes a lot of techniques for dealing with the Uchiha clan.

It's likely that Naruto learned these methods and applied them in actual combat.

Since that's the case, Karin decided to try her best at the last minute and look through the files to see if she could find any way to help deal with Sasuke.

Just like that, a small note fell out.

Karin picked it up and took a look, and everything became clear.

This note was left by the person who gave Naruto this book.

Orochimaru was the one who gave Naruto the book.

The book's origin is written on it.

When Konoha and Kumogakure went to war, Tobirama Senju stayed behind alone to cover the retreat of his juniors, and that's when he encountered Kinkaku and Ginkaku from Kumogakure.

After dying in battle alongside Kinkaku and Ginkaku, Tobirama Senju's body was brought back to Kumogakure.

The Hidden Cloud Village has an Easter tradition. It happened to be Easter, and the people of the Hidden Cloud Village wanted to use Tobirama Senju as a sacrifice to disgust Konoha. So they placed Tobirama Senju's body at the Fall of Truth.

A half-dead, dark side of Tobirama Senju has emerged.

The dark side of Tobirama Senju that appeared was also severely injured and on the verge of death, making it impossible for him to do anything to disgust Konoha. So, Kumogakure simply fulfilled his wishes as much as possible.

The dark side of Tobirama Senju harbored extreme hatred for the Uchiha clan, viewing them as inherently evil beings, which led him to write this book.

Hopefully, future generations will be able to understand this and obtain the techniques to target the Uchiha clan, thus eliminating them.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, obtained this book by chance when he later invaded Kumogakure to seize the Eight-Tails' cells.

Upon learning that Naruto was going to find Sasuke, he handed the book to Naruto.

"So that's how it is..."

Karin reopened the book and saw the techniques Naruto was using.

In his novel, Tobirama Senju, the author of the Dark Side, wrote that the Uchiha clan loved to show off, and in order to do so, their Susanoo would take on a human form.

However, humanoids are the least suitable for combat and are the easiest to exploit weaknesses.

Because it maintains a human form, in the penultimate layer and in the complete Susanoo, the details of Susanoo are perfectly outlined, which results in Susanoo's mouth, nose and ears being the same as those of a human, making it possible to enter the interior of Susanoo.

Especially the nostrils and ears, which cannot be closed voluntarily.

At his suggestion, his elder brother used Wood Release to penetrate and bind Madara Uchiha.

Furthermore, because the elder brother's order for Wood Release was to drill into the hole, the Wood Release not only drilled into the hole of Susanoo and couldn't be stopped in time, but also...

This was also a trigger for their later separation.

Now, Naruto is using the same method to create a shadow clone that enters Susanoo.

Because there were too many of them, Sasuke couldn't control them. Finally, one of the shadow clones broke through the obstacles and arrived behind Sasuke.

"Naruto!!!"

"Sasuke!!!"

For some reason, the two of them suddenly started calling each other's names.

Then a bright light flashed.

Karin only saw Naruto's shadow clone conjure a mini Tailed Beast Ball in its hand and press it behind Sasuke.

Sasuke probably sensed the threat and his impending doom, which is why he called out Naruto's name.

A blinding flash of light followed, and a massive explosion shook the interior of Susanoo.

After everything settled down, all that could be seen was Sasuke lying on the ground, his body charred black.

Naruto's clothes were slightly dirty, but his Tailed Beast Cloak remained intact, and all his Shadow Clones had disappeared.

"Done. As expected, I am the genius. Sasuke, I just said that even if I break your arms and legs, I will bring you back to the village."

Naruto clapped his hands, suppressing the urge to use Yang energy to heal Sasuke.

"Old man of the Six Paths, come quick, come quick! Sasuke must be dying, right?"

Naruto urged him on like he was chanting a mantra.
