Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

"The Six Red Yang Formation? What is he trying to do?"

Hashirama Senju, who was outside, saw this scene and for a moment did not understand Obito's intentions.

Isn't the current situation one where Obito's strength completely overwhelms them?

Why does it seem like Obito is trying to hide?

"The Six Red Yang Formation?"

Sasuke flew to Hashirama's side and asked a question in confusion.

"Yes, the Six Red Yang Formation is a barrier ninjutsu that is even more advanced than the Four Red Yang Formation, which requires the chakra of four Hokage-level beings to perform."

Unless you have a space-time ninjutsu, there's no way you can break through and get in.

"I don't know what Obito Uchiha is trying to do, why he's keeping an eye on us and not letting us in to stop him."

Hashirama Senju gave Sasuke a little science lesson.

"Space-time ninjutsu, which means I can do it."

Sasuke felt a little relieved.

He possesses Amenotejikara (Heavenly Hand Power). If a situation truly arises where he needs to rush in to stop Obito, he can use Amenotejikara to bring the four of them in for a final showdown.

Amaterasu only requires visual contact.

Even through the deep red barrier, he could still clearly see what was inside.

"Naruto!"

Having completed the Six Red Yang Formation, Obito began to speak.

"Naruto! Let me tell you the truth, this Infinite Kotoamatsukami was not my intention. If you and the others behind you are willing to give up resisting, then I will release this technique."

On the contrary, if you continue, then I will make good use of this power to make you utterly despair!

"Not your intention? Obito-san, I knew you were still kind at heart. Turn back now! Didn't your dad say you wanted to be Hokage?!"

"..."

Naruto's ignorance numbed Obito, and even broke his defenses.

When most people hear Obito's words, they focus on the second half and start imagining "utter despair," wondering what kind of heinous and insane things Obito is about to do.

Naruto's focus was on "not his intention".

Even those with inherently kind natures have shown up.

But you know what, it was precisely because of Naruto's naivety and ignorance that Obito was able to break through his defenses.

Anyone who knows what Obito did would not think he was inherently kind.

Only Obito himself thought of his younger self, and he truly believed that he was inherently kind; he had simply kept that thought hidden.

Now that Naruto has brought it up, it's like revealing a past he doesn't want to recall.

"Dad said... Dad said... Naruto! Look at your 'dad' now!"

Enraged by the breach in his defenses, Obito transformed the Truth-Seeking Ball into a chain and tied it around Minato Namikaze's neck.

Below us, within the Six Red Sun Formation, are all those from Konoha who have been affected.

Outside, only Naruto, Sasuke, Hashirama, Madara, and Tobirama remained.

They can finally return to the ground and no longer have to worry about being attacked by Konoha ninjas.

Of course, not all the people from Konoha were inside, but at least most of them were inside, and the rest wouldn't come to the battlefield.

Within the Six Red Yang Formation, Minato Namikaze was bound by the Truth-Seeking Balls by Obito, yet he felt no burden whatsoever.

For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether Minato Namikaze was acting this way because of the influence of the Infinite Kotoamatsukami, or whether he was always like this.

After all, Minato Namikaze was originally a zero, just like his senior Nagato.

But Naruto couldn't hold back when he saw this.

"Obito, let go of my dad! Come at me if you have a problem!"

Naruto rushed to the Six Red Yang Formation and pounded his fists on the barrier, making a sizzling sound.

"How dare you, Naruto! You're coming after me? I've seen through your little schemes! How dare you try to steal Fu Rui from your father! Shut your mouth!"

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze's blissful expression vanished instantly, and he angrily rebuked Naruto.

"Dad, wake up! Besides, besides, I'm also Fu Rui!"

Naruto panicked and, for a moment, abandoned all restraint, saying that he felt the same way.

And you know what? Naruto, who is imprinted in the Tsukuyomi world, is indeed one of them.

However, the fact that no one was drawn to Naruto when he transformed into his complete Nine-Tails form just now tells us what's going on.

The chakra of the Ten-Tails is vastly different from that of the Nine-Tails.

The higher the amount of chakra, the stronger the gravity.

In front of the Ten-Tails, everyone was only drawn to Obito, and Naruto's Nine-Tails aura was completely overshadowed.

"Pah! You think you're worthy?"

"...But I'm still your son."

"Obito is still my disciple, his status is no lower than yours!"

"..."

Is this a question of positioning or not?

"Naruto, stop talking nonsense. Under the influence of genjutsu, it's pointless for you to say anything more. Let's find a way to break the genjutsu."

Sasuke stopped Naruto from saying anything more.

"Yeah, Naruto, I bet he set up the Six Red Yang Formation so you'd have to watch what's going on inside from the outside, and then fly into a rage of impotence. Don't fall for his trick."

Tobirama Senju nodded in agreement.

He could see that Obito still harbored some obsession with Naruto.

In that case, it's essential to keep Naruto calm.

As long as Naruto doesn't fall into Obito's trap, Obito will keep giving them chances and leniency.

Conversely, once Naruto's reaction satisfies Obito, Obito's inner conflict will be resolved, and he will kill them all.

Oh, no, it's not them. He and his older brother are already dead. They will just kill Sasuke, Naruto, and Madara, and seal him and his older brother away.

Meanwhile, inside the Six Red Yang Formation, Obito felt that one Minato Namikaze wasn't enough, so he used a Truth-Seeking Ball to bring Jiraiya over as well.

Jiraiya's expression became even more unbearable and lewd.

Naruto was heartbroken to see this.

Obito was very pleased with himself, but after scanning the area with his senses, a question suddenly arose: "Where's Kushina? Is she outside?"

Obito couldn't find Kushina, so he thought she might be outside the Six Red Yang Formation, perhaps near the Hokage Rock, helping him build it.

I immediately felt a little regretful.

After all, this is someone who can break Naruto's defenses.

It's not a good time to go out and search now; once the barrier is activated, the atmosphere will be completely ruined.

Even if he set up a barrier, Obito believed that Naruto couldn't stop him from doing anything.

But it is precisely because this barrier exists that one can have that feeling, that feeling of watching helplessly but being unable to do anything about it.

"Naruto, calm down! Minato and Jiraiya were born to be like that; it's their nature!"

Sasuke, seeing Naruto in pain, quickly tried to comfort him.

"Sasuke, you don't understand. I'm not actually from this world."

Naruto, with tears streaming down his face, began to recount his story, hoping to move the people inside with his sincerity.

"In another world, I was born when I was very young."

The very first sentence almost made me lose my composure.
