Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 266 Orochimaru is controlling me

"What's wrong?"

Kushina looked at Tobirama Senju with suspicion.

I wondered if the Second Hokage would really be so stingy as to charge royalties.

What else can we do?

The Second Hokage wasn't familiar with Naruto.

We can't just make Naruto our elder brother just because he's also a reincarnation of Ashura's chakra, can we?

"I need to remind him to work harder in his cultivation and subdue the Nine-Tails as soon as possible. Otherwise, in his current state, when will he ever make any progress?"

Tobirama Senju's gaze was fixed on Naruto Uzumaki below.

This idea came to him on the spur of the moment.

If Kushina hadn't wanted to come back and see Naruto, and if Kushina hadn't brought up the topic, he wouldn't have thought of this for the time being.

"Huh? Why? Won't this be forcing growth?"

Kushina didn't expect the Second Hokage to be so direct, wanting to tell Naruto that he wanted to subdue the Nine-Tails.

Is this a plan to have the mother and son start pursuing the Nine-Tails at the same time?

She was thinking of giving it a try first, and then sharing her experience with Naruto if she succeeded.

"Trying to help seedlings grow faster? Ha!"

Tobirama Senju sneered, "The current ninja world is very different from the original ninja world, and Konoha is no exception."

When a person's living environment changes, can that person still follow the original path?

To give an example, if during our Warring States period, when my older brother was still a child, a powerful figure suddenly appeared, conquered the five states, unified the world, and ended the wars...

So, can Madara Uchiha and my older brother still have common goals, and can they still achieve the same level of success and strength as them?

Even if there were, it would likely be delayed for a long time without pressure and motivation.

"Yes, that makes sense."

Kushina remembered what Bai Mo had told her about Naruto's original situation.

It should be that Sasuke defected, and Naruto worked hard to train in order to bring Sasuke back.

Then came Jiraiya's death, and Naruto grew stronger once again.

In the end, it was Obito's masked man who started the Fourth Shinobi World War, and Naruto was forced to begin mastering the Nine-Tails' power, and the Nine-Tails also began to accept Naruto.

One of the overarching goals is "to become Hokage".

Now, Kushina is comparing them carefully.

Good heavens, it's all gone!

Sasuke didn't defect; he simply went abroad to study.

Jiraiya is not dead, at least not now.

As for the Ninja World War and the Masked Man?

If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. Now that the five great ninja villages have begun to unite, it's not his turn to be the protagonist.

The most crucial one is "becoming Hokage".

That's a motivating factor.

But such a grand goal is too far away for children, and their motivation is completely insufficient.

You can play all day, then say you'll start working hard tomorrow, and then keep putting it off.

Moreover, as the reforms recommended by Bai Mo began to be implemented in the five major nations, the Hokage's power grew, and this position could no longer be obtained simply through strength and recognition.

If someone without the ability rises to a higher position, they will only harm the country and its people.

"Don't you understand? Peace is wonderful, but it can also lead people astray."

According to Bai Mo's vision of the future, the peace created by Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha only lasted for less than twenty years before collapsing.

And because of this twenty-year period of decadence, the ninja world no longer has the ability to resist.

Why did I establish a ninja academy after the Warring States period ended and the wars were over?

It is precisely because we must be prepared for unforeseen circumstances and continue to sustainably train ninjas.

It's a pity. I've visited the ninja academy now, and it only has the framework I set up back then. No one has ever thought of modifying or adding to it.

On the contrary, Bai Mo's Rain Village has opened a new one...

Tobirama Senju's words were full of admiration for Bai Mo, only regretting that he was not from Konoha.

"Second Hokage, you should go and tell him quickly. Naruto definitely needs to be more diligent!"

Kushina snapped out of her daze and urged him anxiously.

She knew very well that Naruto was not the core, not the main character.

Even the powerful Heavy Particle Mode is only one branch of the fight against the Otsutsuki, and Naruto is only one of the nine smaller branches within that branch.

At most, you could add the reincarnation of Ashura's chakra.

The only person who will truly care about Naruto and pay attention to him is his mother.

It's not that everyone looks down on Naruto, but that everyone is too busy with other things to care about Naruto's life.

If it weren't for this coincidence...

Therefore, she had to seize the opportunity.

"Alright, then leave it to me."

When Tobirama Senju saw that Kushina had agreed, he knew he could proceed with his plans freely.

Just as Kushina guessed, if Tobirama Senju hadn't happened to meet him this time and hadn't had this idea, he wouldn't have cared about Naruto Uzumaki's life trajectory at all.

Naruto Uzumaki and the inherently evil Uchiha brat Sasuke Uchiha were merely failed saviors of the old world.

Having witnessed the various aspects of the limited Tsukuyomi world, Tobirama Senju already has some ideas.

"What about Jiraiya, the monkey's disciple? Wasn't his lower body sealed by Orochimaru, forcing him to focus solely on teaching Naruto?"

Tobirama Senju asked.

"I don't know... What? Jiraiya-sensei was sealed away in what way??"

Kushina only realized what she was saying halfway through, and her face immediately turned to shock.

"That Jiraiya is something else. Even sealed away, he can't change his personality. It seems the only thing we can do is let him contribute to Naruto's transformation."

Tobirama Senju scanned the surrounding streets and locked onto Jiraiya, who was walking towards them.

"Well……"

Kushina had just recovered from the shock of Jiraiya being sealed away when she realized that the Second Hokage was looking for "crimes".

Otherwise, why didn't he immediately take action after saying "Leave it to me," but instead asked Jiraiya again?

as predicted.

Jiraiya, smugly passing by, saw Naruto get punched away by Sakura who rushed out after defecating, and grinned...

A kunai flew towards Jiraiya.

Jiraiya heard the sound of something cutting through the air, paused for a moment, and took a step back.

"Where did this petty thief come from, trying to ambush the great Jiraiya-sama?"

Jiraiya smiled confidently, but nothing flew past him.

However, Jiraiya's smile froze for a moment.

As a novelist, Jiraiya felt inexplicably familiar with this situation.

"not good!!!"

Jiraiya dodged with a perfect low movement.

"Flying Thunder God Slash!"

A flash of white light, and Tobirama Senju shaved off Jiraiya's hair with a single stroke, leaving him bald.

"As expected of Eizuna's teacher, it seems you do have some knowledge of my Flying Thunder God Technique. You actually managed to dodge it, which is better than that trash Izuna."

Tobirama Senju spoke slowly, offering a word of praise.

"Second Generation Lord? It really is you? Why?!"

Jiraiya covered his bald head and asked incredulously.

"Why? Are you stupid... Get out of the way! I can't control myself! Orochimaru is manipulating me!"
