Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

"Foolish, you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep. You think you can just walk into this mess...?"

Just as Obito was about to mock Kushina for overestimating herself, his expression suddenly changed; he had realized something was wrong.

Logically, this shouldn't be the case.

Hashirama was able to try to pull the Tailed Beast out of his body because of Madara's Rinnegan eye power, which itself has the power to absorb and grab chakra.

Naruto was able to try to pull the power of the Tailed Beast out of his body because Naruto had been invaded by the Sage of Six Paths and had also received the inheritance of the Six Paths, so he also had a small amount of Ten-Tails power in his body, which could resonate with it.

But what about Kushina?

A mere Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is lacking in both numerical value and mechanics.

How could they possibly extract the tailed beast's chakra from his body?

But now things have gone against my wishes, and Kushina has actually extracted the tailed beast chakra from his body!

Moreover, it seems that Kushina had planned this all along.

"You damn crazy woman! Let me go!"

Obito now deeply regrets not taking advantage of the time when Naruto was looking for Sasuke to go to Amegakure and steal Nagato's Rinnegan.

This not only prevents Madara Uchiha from being resurrected, but also allows me to use Shinra Tensei to knock Kushina away.

Fortunately, Obito realized in time that even if he didn't have Shinra Tensei, he still had Truth-Seeking Balls.

He directly controlled all the Truth-Seeking Balls and smashed them towards Kushina.

Kushina had to dodge, so she could only draw chakra and retreat.

A tangible chakra tract was extracted from Obito's chest.

Obito tried to pull it back, but found it difficult.

Perhaps he will eventually be able to regain his power, but what will happen in the meantime?

The group of people following behind were watching him intently. It would be bad if they came up with some strange way to interfere with him.

Anyway, only a little bit was taken away, so it doesn't have much of an impact.

Obito raised the Tenuma Spear and slashed at the joint, severing it.

After severing the connection, the feeling of weakness from having chakra drained immediately disappeared.

Obito believed that, given his current cautious and defensive mindset, Kushina would be unable to get close to him again.

"That's decisive, Obito."

Kushina absorbed all the chakra that Obito had discarded into her body, then turned and ran towards the deeper part, which was the glowing core.

Obito was taken aback for a moment, then understood Kushina's intention.

Is he trying to use that little bit of chakra he just used to awaken the sealed Kaguya?

Obito thought that even if he gave Kaguya that little chakra, she wouldn't be a match for him once she woke up. But just in case, he decided to stop her and followed her in. However, he kept his distance from Kushina to avoid a repeat of what had just happened.

Naruto and the others followed closely behind and entered the circle of light.

Inside the aperture, the rock walls had completely disappeared, and the surrounding area was a colorful black expanse.

It appears to be a spacetime distortion caused by excessively strong gravity.

After Obito, Naruto, and the others entered, they found that Kushina was nowhere to be seen. All that remained were various images vaguely appearing in the colorful black void around them.

"Is this a mental space?"

Tobirama Senju reacted immediately.

"Mental space? Whose mental space?"

"Whose is it?"

Naruto's instinctive question left the others speechless.

The surrounding scenes clearly showed what Kushina had experienced.

Suddenly, the content of several of the images made Obito feel uneasy.

That was a scene of Kushina interacting with the other Jinchuriki.

Kushina looks much younger in the picture than she does now, indicating that this happened many years ago.

According to previous information, Kushina should not have had any contact with other Jinchuriki except when she clashed with them during the war, right?

This means that Kushina did this without telling anyone else.

It turns out that Kushina was aware of Minato Namikaze's promiscuous behavior. As she said, she could run into nine people who had been with Minato Namikaze just by going out to buy a pack of cigarettes.

This means she knows everything.

Minato Namikaze misinterpreted the meaning of those words, thinking that Kushina only knew the people she thought she knew.

In reality, Kushina deliberately allowed Minato Namikaze to go out and do bad things.

Because Hashirama Senju defeated Madara Uchiha, he relegated Fury Control to a niche fantasy and made Bond Ninja the mainstream in the ninja world. As a result, Jinchuriki became a symbol of loneliness.

Despite the different paths, they all arrive at the same destination. Just like in the real ninja world, Jinchuriki need to fill the void in their hearts, and they can only rely on one or two close friends.

Kushina was the one who let Minato Namikaze run away with those Jinchuriki.

Before being controlled by the Infinite Kotoamatsukami, Minato Namikaze was simply a bonded ninja who inherited the Will of Fire; he wasn't actually very interested in the Tailed Beasts.

Therefore, although the actions seemed irregular and appeared to be Minato Namikaze's suppressed, instinctive behavior, everything was actually under Kushina's control.

Minato Namikaze was unaware of all this, but judging from the outcome, he was responsible for disrupting the Jinchuriki's network of relationships, and then Kushina took advantage of the situation to get the mentally broken Jinchuriki to join the secret Jinchuriki organization she founded, and gave her a portion of the Tailed Beast chakra for communication purposes.

Starting with the One-Tailed Beast, Gaara's mother died when he was born. His closest relative was his uncle, Yashamaru, a gentle man who looked somewhat like a woman.

Minato Namikaze successfully drove Yasha Maru away.

Gaara discovers that one day his uncle no longer loves him the most, and even abandons him to celebrate his birthday alone in order to go on a date with Minato Namikaze, which leads him to turn to the dark side.

Then Kushina took Naruto and made him Gaara's new sun, successfully obtaining the One-Tailed Chakra.

The Two-Tails is relatively simple. Although the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yugito, loves the village and his companions, he appears rather aloof and often trains alone.

Kushina only revealed to her about Killer Bee and Minato Namikaze, and Yugito immediately lost her temper.

Her senior and comrade-in-arms, Killer Bee, who was also a Jinchūriki, was actually violated by Minato Namikaze on the battlefield, and even gave birth to a child with the power of the Eight-Tails.

And that child was her best friend Samui, who was the same age as her!

This was unacceptable to Yukito; she didn't know how to face these two people.

Kushina seized the opportunity once again to obtain the Two-Tails' chakra.

As for the Eight-Tails' chakra, obtaining it is even simpler.

Kushina, as the "real" one, went to find Killer Bee, the "other woman" who had an illegitimate daughter. Killer Bee was naturally ashamed and cut off one of his octopus tentacles to escape, thus easily obtaining the Eight-Tails' chakra.

In this way, Kushina gathered all the chakra of the tailed beasts into her own body.
