Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

"Sasuke! What have you done?!"

Naruto's pupils contracted, and after Sasuke released his Susanoo and landed on the ground, Naruto immediately stepped forward and grabbed Sasuke's collar.

"Can't you see what I did? I stopped you from destroying Planetary Devastation and releasing that criminal who intended to destroy the ninja world!"

Sasuke coldly slapped Naruto's hand away from his clothes.

"But there are still people over there!"

Naruto has already overlooked Obito's problem.

He had seen what was happening at the Hokage Rock before; a bunch of people were dismantling the Hokage Rock to help Obito build a statue.

"It's alright, don't you have Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan? If you care so much about those people, why don't you ask Madara Uchiha to help revive them?"

Didn't you say that you would use the method of shattering Obito to undo Six Paths Planetary Devastation, and then have Madara revive him?

It's the same now, why don't you just go and revive them?

"..."

Naruto was speechless for a moment.

That's undeniable.

Sasuke makes a lot of sense.

After hesitating for a moment, Naruto noticed that the Chibaku Tensei in the sky was getting bigger and bigger and flying further and further away.

Taking advantage of Sasuke's inattention, Naruto launched another attack into the air.

This time it wasn't the Tailed Beast Ball, but the Wind Release: Rasengan that he had only recently mastered.

The ear-piercing explosion was impossible to hide. Sasuke noticed it immediately and used the same method, Amenotejikara, to replace the Rasengan.

The Rasengan exploded in another part of Konoha, and a huge blue chakra ball appeared on the ground, from which came the screams of Konoha villagers.

Unlike the Tailed Beast Ball that instantly vaporized people, the power of the Rasengan is relatively weaker. Instead, it consists of countless wind-style blades that slowly slice through the person hit by the attack.

That so-called giant blue chakra ball is made up of these individual wind blades.

With Naruto around, the villagers of Konoha enjoyed another period of good fortune.

"Sasuke!"

Upon hearing the screams, Naruto clenched his fists and glared at Sasuke. "You killed them on purpose, didn't you! The Hokage Rock area was already cleared out, why did you still move into the crowd?!"

"Naruto! You knew I was doing it on purpose, yet you still attacked the Planetary Devastation. You were deliberately trying to kill them, weren't you?!"

After losing all hope in Naruto, Sasuke no longer tolerates him.

Naruto tried to pin a label on him, but he turned the tables and tried to pin one on Naruto in return, seeing who could outdo whom.

"..."

Naruto was once again rendered speechless by the retort.

This truly proves the saying, "I'm terrible at lecturing."

"..."

Naruto looked up at the sky; Obito had already flown far away, and it was too late to attack now.

If he gets closer, he might be able to launch an attack while Sasuke isn't paying attention.

But when you're far away, whether it's a Tailed Beast Ball or any other attack, it will still have an attack trajectory.

The farther away they are, the longer it will take to fly there. Sasuke's Amenotejikara can complete the exchange directly within his line of sight.

There's no chance anymore, absolutely no chance.

Naruto sighed and approached Madara: "Grandpa Madara, could you please help revive those Konoha villagers?"

"Whom should be resurrected?"

Madara Uchiha was eyeing the extracted tailed beasts, and when he heard Naruto asking him for help, he immediately hatched a plan.

"Resurrect those villagers!"

Naruto scratched his head.

"I'm asking you who was resurrected, and who 'those villagers' are? Tell me their names."

"……what?"

Naruto was completely stunned when he heard Madara Uchiha's request.

"No, Uncle Madara, do resurrected people need to know each other?"

Naruto pressed on with an urgent look.

Even if he were from another world and didn't know these passersby and villagers, how would he know which people were dead?

Population census?

Sorry, Naruto doesn't even have that concept in his mind.

"Otherwise what?"

Madara looked at Naruto like he was an idiot. "You don't know who to revive, so how do you expect me to revive them? Revive everyone who died in Konoha?"

"..."

That definitely won't work.

Wouldn't that cause chaos?

Besides, too many people died in Konoha. Not to mention how many memorial tablets there are, the number of people who died of natural causes is countless.

If they were all resurrected...

Are those Tree Spirits really enough?

"Actually, there is another way."

Seeing Naruto's confused expression, Madara continued speaking.

"Really? What method?"

Naruto felt as if he had grasped a glimmer of hope; he desperately wanted to make amends for his mistake.

Although Sasuke transferred the Tailed Beast Ball and the Rasengan, it was he who used both.

If this were a video game, the kill would definitely be attributed to him; Sasuke was just an assister.

"Just like with the Impure World Reincarnation, if you don't know those people, then bring something containing their chakra, such as remains or debris..."

"I'll be right back!"

Before Madara could finish speaking, Naruto had already vanished in a flash.

Madara Uchiha stood calmly in place, waiting for Naruto.

Sasuke's gaze towards Madara was now filled with suspicion.

He sensed it; Madara was deliberately guiding Naruto.

As for Madara's purpose, he had a debate with Obito when he first appeared.

According to that debate, Madara's goal was almost the same as Obito's, except that Obito went a step further.

Therefore, Madara's target is the Tailed Beasts.

Sasuke knew what he had to do.

Meanwhile, Naruto went to the Hokage Rock ruins, rummaged around on the scorched ground for a long time, and finally dug up a bag of black soil and gravel, which he brought to Madara.

"What is this?"

"..."

Naruto didn't answer, his face filled with sadness.

The people from both places, those who were hit by the Tailed Beast Ball, were completely wiped out, their remains evaporated without a trace.

The spiraling shuriken was as if it had been thrown into an open meat grinder, cut into countless tiny pieces that were indistinguishable to the naked eye, and then hurled far away and in all directions by the spiraling force.

In short, not a single remains or debris could be found.

Naruto dug up a pile of dirt and gravel, but it was just a way for him to comfort himself.

"Naruto! Stop wasting time talking to Madara, we need to get down to business and dispel this genjutsu!!"

Sasuke's shout snapped Naruto back to reality.

The spot did not open its mouth to block it.

Breaking the illusion is a good thing; it will make it easier for him to cast new illusions later.

Moreover, Madara has no intention of dressing up as Fury and having these people worship him, just like Obito did.

Therefore, it is indeed necessary to untangle the problem.

"No."

After what seemed like a long period of deep thought and internal struggle, Naruto finally declined Sasuke's invitation.

"Obito has been sealed away. I will protect the ninja world he created. Anyway, his original intention was good, to make humans and tailed beasts live in harmony."
