Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

"Don't look at me like that. I don't know why, but my body just started moving on its own!"

When Obito saw Naruto's adoring gaze, he immediately felt nauseous.

If Obito had been giving that look when he was still deceiving Naruto, he would have found it enjoyable.

The problem is that he has already revealed himself, and Naruto is still looking at him with that kind of gaze, which makes him very unhappy.

"Yes, yes, I understand, I understand!"

Naruto's eyes were still shining as he nodded vigorously.

Although in the real-world ninja world, Naruto was affected by Haku at the beginning of the Zabuza storyline, which caused a major change in history, and Sasuke did not block Haku's senbon for Naruto and said those words, similar relationships still occurred between the two in some trivial missions afterward.

So when Obito said those words, Naruto was once again certain that Obito must have had his reasons, that he was forced into it, and that he was influenced by the Ten-Tails.

These words were spoken by Sasuke, who was his good brother and close friend.

Could someone from Sasuke's clan who can say the same things as Sasuke be a bad person?

"..."

Seeing Naruto's expression, Obito felt a chill run down his spine.

If it weren't for the fact that Naruto and Sasuke still needed to deal with Isshiki, Obito would have preferred to kill Naruto right now.

Boom!Boom!

The giant box landed violently with two loud thuds.

It turns out that Sasuke has finally figured out the true use of Amenotejikara and has freed himself and Naruto from the suppression of Ookuten.

"Naruto, stop talking nonsense and finish him off!"

Sasuke was also somewhat dissatisfied with Naruto's attitude towards Obito.

After all, it was clearly he who used Amenotejikara to switch Kakashi and Obito to take the bullet for him.

But he couldn't say it outright.

Otherwise, the illusion I just used would have been wasted.

Sasuke didn't want Naruto to mistakenly believe that Obito was a good person, and thus make some wrong judgment later.

"Oh right."

Naruto then realized that his mother had just sent them a message, telling them to defeat Isshiki as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, enemies might come to help, and then things would get complicated.

"Sasuke, let's use the one that the old man Sage Rokudo mentioned."

Naruto thought for a moment and then extended an invitation to Sasuke.

"No, Naruto, that might only be usable once, we have to save it for... to save it for later."

Sasuke understood that Naruto was referring to the seal of "Six Paths: Planetary Devastation".

They immediately stopped Naruto from having this idea.

This seal was specifically designed by the Sage of Six Paths to deal with Kaguya. If it is used on a certain type of person, what if Kaguya reappears later?

Moreover, since this move was specifically designed to deal with Kaguya, it might not be effective against anyone who isn't a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. What if it can't be sealed away?

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

Naruto was at his wit's end.

"...Space-time ninjutsu is the true absolute attack and absolute defense."

Sasuke turned his gaze to Obito and Kakashi, "To defeat Isshiki, all we need to do is control him and then let Kakashi use his eye technique."

That makes sense.

Obito gave his approval upon hearing this.

No matter how strong Ichimoku's defense is, it cannot withstand spatial cutting.

Moreover, Isshiki's defensive power has its limits; otherwise, he wouldn't have been ambushed and severely injured by Kaguya, and then fed to the Ten-Tails.

"The problem now is how to control this move."

Kakashi frowned.

"There is a way."

Obito's face turned pale and then purple, and finally, as if he had gone through some intense mental struggle, he made a decision.

"If I release all the power of the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree, I will draw out Isshiki's instincts, and he will do the same thing as before. In that case, he will be under control."

"No, absolutely not!"

Kakashi's expression changed drastically.

Even though he didn't witness what happened in the Kamui dimension like Naruto did, as someone born to be, he could already guess what had happened.

How could he allow his best friend to sacrifice himself again to give everyone a chance to survive?

"Then what do you suggest we do? Can you come up with a solution, Kakashi? Don't just reject it!"

Obito spoke to Kakashi in a mocking tone.

"I really don't have a solution, but..."

Kakashi was heartbroken. He had to watch Obito suffer again and even use Kamui with wide eyes.

Seeing Kakashi's expression, Obito was in a very good mood.

Obito certainly wouldn't be so noble as to be willing to sacrifice himself; he actually had other motives.

"Enough talk, Kakashi, get ready! Naruto and Sasuke, cover for us!"

At Obito's command, the group got into position.

The next second, Obito released the Ten-Tails from his body, transforming it into the God Tree.

—That's right, Obito wasn't prepared to personally take another beating from Ichishiki.

Since Isshiki likes plants so much, and the reason he's being carved is because he carries the aura of the divine tree, then let Isshiki go and carve the divine tree.

As for releasing the Ten-Tails, which would put his life in danger, Obito wasn't worried about that.

As the former Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails, he could survive for a period of time even after the Ten-Tails was extracted, not to mention that he also had the omnipotent Black Zetsu to help him prolong his life.

After Obito extracted the Ten-Tails, he only felt weak for a moment before quickly returning to normal.

After seeing the Divine Tree appear, Isshiki finally couldn't hold back any longer.

The remaining instincts and memories from his rational state were finally overwhelmed by overwhelming desire, and Otsutsuki Isshiki transformed into a woodpecker and charged toward the Divine Tree.

"Naruto, Sasuke, help me!"

Kakashi's expression turned serious, and he clenched his fists.

In this world, the Sharingan does not actually lose its vision due to excessive use.

However, Kakashi still suffers from presbyopia and poor eyesight.

The reason for this is that Kakashi indulges in excessive sexual activity; even without engaging in large-scale battles, he still has to do it several times a day.

Therefore, in this situation, Kakashi must be close to ensure accuracy.

"Got it, Kakashi! It's my period!"

Sasuke used Amenotejikara to swap Kakashi's belt with Isshiki's that had been thrown on the ground.

Kakashi suddenly appeared behind Isshiki.

As Isshiki was pecking at the woodpecker, Kakashi's aura appeared behind him, and Isshiki stopped abruptly.

This made Kakashi tense up, fearing that Ichishiki would kill him before he could unleash Kamui.

However, Ichishiki did not attack Kakashi.

Kakashi didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately used Kamui.

Seeing the form twisted by Kamui, leaving only half of its body, Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief, then smelled a certain scent.

Kakashi suddenly realized.

It turns out that he had a fierce battle with Yamato the day before, and his body was covered in Yamato's scent. Yamato was actually in a vegetative state, so Kakashi had the scent of Isshiki's favorite plant on him, which is why Isshiki didn't attack him!
