Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Seeing the once arrogant and invincible Otsutsuki Isshiki fall, the audience outside couldn't help but marvel once again at the power of space-time ninjutsu.

Everyone suddenly realized that, in addition to Sage Mode and Taijutsu, space-time ninjutsu could also be used as a force to fight against the Otsutsuki clan.

However, compared to the other two, there are still far too few people who know space-time ninjutsu.

Originally, there were few people who knew Sage Mode, but at least after Naruto's shortcut came out, it became more widespread.

Furthermore, Sage Mode is very easy to use; simply integrate Sage Chakra into your regular ninjutsu attacks to inflict damage.

As for physical skills, they are easy to learn but difficult to master. As long as the stats are high enough, they can cause damage.

The only difference is the space-time ninjutsu.

Even the simplified version of the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Flying Thunder Formation, theoretically lowers the learning threshold and allows a considerable number of people to learn it, but it has no practical combat significance.

Even the Flying Thunder God Technique itself only has strategic value and cannot cause any harm to the Otsutsuki clan.

Space-time ninjutsu is just a general concept. Only techniques like "space cutting" can actually harm the Otsutsuki clan.

Currently, apart from Kakashi's Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan, most other space-time ninjutsu are "teleportation" type techniques.

Teleportation-type ninjutsu, when used against monsters like the Otsutsuki who have both complex mechanics and high stats, will only result in a lot of impressive maneuvers but ultimately only a fraction of the damage dealt.

Even Sasuke's Amenotejikara is like that.

In Boruto, Sasuke showed off his skills for a long time, but he still used the same old attack methods: sword slash, Chidori, Amaterasu, and Susanoo.

It may seem like they're showing off their skills, but in reality, their stats aren't high enough, so they have to rely on skillful maneuvering to make up for it.

If Sasuke's Rinnegan ability wasn't Amenotejikara, but something like Kakashi's Kamui, or if Amenotejikara could also tear space, then in most battles, he could simply use space-time ninjutsu to turn his head and resolve the situation.

It will be the same situation as in the Tsukuyomi world, from "how to damage the enemy" to "how to restrain the enemy so that Sasuke/Kakashi can see the enemy".

The difficulty level dropped dramatically.

The perspective returns to the world of the Tsukuyomi inscription.

Kamui twisted the technique so much that only half of it remained.

"Great, we did it!"

Naruto cheered.

Even though it was just a foolish technique that imprinted the world of Tsukuyomi, it gave Naruto immense confidence.

"Yes, it worked."

Obito's face broke into a barely suppressed smile.

Obito began to "absorb" the released Divine Tree back into its original state.

No one suspected anything at this scene.

After all, Obito was the Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails. The Ten-Tails is different from ordinary tailed beasts and has not undergone the modification by the Sage of Six Paths.

To encourage everyone to love the Tailed Beasts, the Sage of Six Paths made it so that those whose Tailed Beasts were extracted would actually receive a resurrection armor.

As a result, everyone in the ninja world except for those who control Fury developed a dislike for the Tailed Beasts. Even the Jinchuriki, wanting this resurrection armor, despised the Tailed Beasts and wanted them to leave them.

The Sage of Six Paths was heartbroken to see this scene. He thought that if he had another chance, he would make sure that the tailed beasts would die after being extracted, just like the Ten-Tails.

In this way, everyone will cherish the time spent with the Tailed Beasts and will no longer hate them, right?

In short, it was perfectly reasonable for Obito to absorb the God Tree; it wasn't anything unusual.

However, Obito actually used a trick.

He absorbed the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree back into his body in a spiral-shaped manner, just as Kamui absorbs things in a spiral shape.

Everyone thought that Obito was eager to prolong his life or regain the power of the Ten-Tails to continue fighting against Naruto and his friends.

No one expected that Obito had transferred the Ten-Tails into the Kamui dimension!

What is in the Divine Might Space?

Aside from the entire Konoha complex, that was the half of the First Form that Kakashi had just twisted and sent inside with his Kamui.

Although Isshiki initially lived in Ichiraku's workplace, over time he had long since become one with Ichiraku.

The current form is twisted in two, just like when Kaguya ambushed him and he was severely injured, then fed to the Ten-Tails, leaving him with only half a body.

The only difference is that Isshiki back then still retained his rationality, while Isshiki now has gone mad.

Even if he weren't confined to the Divine Might Space, he wouldn't go looking for someone to parasitize like he did thousands of years ago.

Such an inevitable death should not be wasted.

Obito transferred the Divine Tree into the Kamui dimension, transforming it back into the Ten-Tails, so that the Ten-Tails could devour this half of the technique.

Only in this way can he truly gain control by activating Infinite Tsukuyomi, instead of becoming Kaguya's puppet.

Moreover, only in this way can he obtain greater power to deal with Naruto and Sasuke, who have inherited the legacy of the Sage of Six Paths.

And the Sage of Six Paths might have other tricks up his sleeve.

Obito's goal is no longer to become the second Sage of Six Paths; he has already achieved that goal. His current goal is to surpass the Sage of Six Paths.

As Isshiki in the Kamui dimension was devoured by the Ten-Tails, the Ten-Tails began to transform into the Divine Tree and change. The other half of Isshiki's body outside gradually turned into ashes and drifted away in the wind.

"Died so quickly?"

Sasuke frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

With Isshiki Otsutsuki's vitality, even if he was cut in half and reduced to 0.5 style, he shouldn't have died so quickly, right?

Sasuke glanced at Obito with a suspicious look.

The lower half of the body was completely gone, including the eye that should have been there, which also turned to ashes.

I have a feeling that Obito did it on purpose.

Obito glanced at the two of them as well.

He is currently waiting for the divine tree in the Divine Might Space to complete its evolution.

Delaying time?

Just what he wanted.

While Sasuke was pondering how to deal with Obito, Naruto received a voice message from Ino using her Mind Transfer Technique.

[Naruto, how's it going on your end? Nothing went wrong, right?]

"There was an unexpected development; one of their techniques actually became more powerful, but we still managed to defeat it through teamwork, hehe."

[Stop chuckling! We're in trouble here. That person with the "All-Powerful" ability is overwhelming the Hokage. Even if you manage to defeat Isshiki, as long as she's alive, she can revive her at any time!]

"Huh? What should we do then?"

[I don't know! I'm sending you this message so you can think of a solution quickly!]

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

Naruto hung up the phone, looked at Sasuke and Kakashi, and told them about the situation in Konoha.

"Sasuke, Kakashi-sensei, we have to go back and take care of that person too, using the same method, otherwise Isshiki will be resurrected."

Naruto is now very confident, believing that one trick is all you need.
