Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Obito's original idea was that in order to gain the trust of the imperial court and Madara Uchiha, he could not deliberately conceal information.

Once the concealment of information is discovered, trust will collapse and can never be rebuilt.

Therefore, he did not hide the news of Kakashi and Rin's outing.

In Obito's view, the primary target of the Imperial Court was definitely his master, Minato Namikaze. Kakashi and Rin were not even worthy of being targets of the Imperial Court; taking action against them would only alert them.

But why?

Why did it turn out like this?

Obito was completely baffled.

While Minato was taking care of Kakashi that night, Obito left again and went to find Madara Uchiha to ask about what had happened that day.

"Why? Why would the imperial court suddenly turn against Lin?"

She's just a defenseless healer... a doctor! She didn't receive any of Minato Namikaze's teachings either. If you're going to arrest someone, you should arrest Kakashi!

Obito clenched his fist and questioned Madara Uchiha.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have given you that information."

Obito added a final, defiant remark.

"Ha, you really think that girl was arrested because of your intelligence?"

After watching Obito vent his emotions, Madara slowly turned around and chuckled.

"What do you mean?"

Obito was stunned.

"The intelligence you gave me is directly under my control; only I can view it. Do you think I sent those people to arrest her?"

"..."

Obito recalled Kakashi's description after he woke up today.

Those who captured them relied on numerical superiority, not overwhelming strength.

If Madara really sent someone, he could have easily captured both of them without causing a commotion. There was no way Kakashi would have escaped.

"So what exactly happened? Could there be another traitor besides me?"

Obito was completely bewildered.

At this point, there is only one possibility.

Some people leaked their intelligence to the imperial court, but that person's authority was not high enough to contact people at the lower levels.

"That's right, Obito, you guessed correctly. Now why don't you guess again who that person is?"

"..."

"Forget it, I'll just tell you directly. I was worried that some clueless idiot would leak information to the people below and disrupt our plans, so I did some investigation."

The traitor you mentioned, besides yourself, is that little girl.

Madara Uchiha looked at Obito, eager to see how Obito would react if he knew about this.

"What?! How is this possible? Why would Lin do this?!"

Obito looked on incredulously.

He was just thinking that he must find the traitor and tear him to pieces.

Unexpectedly, it was Lin herself who exposed her whereabouts?

"Who knows? Maybe they're using this method to get close to the emperor, and then assassinate him, all for your sake?"

Ban stated a possibility in a very calm tone.

Obviously, since Madara has said so, either this possibility doesn't exist, or Madara is extremely confident in the Emperor's strength and believes that Rin will definitely not succeed.

"Wait, you mean Lin went to the palace? Shouldn't she be imprisoned?"

Obito looked anxious.

So how did Lin end up going into the palace to assassinate the emperor?

What was the reason for getting in?

Why are all these things happening so unexpectedly!

Meanwhile, on the other side, after taking care of Kakashi to sleep, Minato Namikaze went to the backyard alone, gazing at the starry sky with a worried expression.

He was thinking about what to do next.

Kakashi's injuries not only require care, but also the intervention of a renowned doctor to heal them. Otherwise, even if he survives, he will suffer serious aftereffects and may never be able to practice martial arts again.

But on the other hand, Lin, who has been captured, also needs to be rescued by himself.

He dared not entrust the task of finding a renowned doctor to Obito again, fearing that his disciple might also encounter misfortune.

After all, he had sent Kakashi and Rin to the Jianghu Tavern to find Tsunade, but they were ambushed and killed on the way.

"Minato, I'm sorry, this whole thing is my fault."

A dark figure appeared behind Minato; it was Hashirama.

Hashirama stood there with a guilty expression.

"Was this caused by you, senior? What do you mean?"

Minato didn't rush to question Hashirama, believing that his senior wouldn't betray them and that there must be a hidden reason.

"I feel you didn't take my words to heart. In order to change the fate of the future, I also told that girl about it. My original intention was to have her take action and eliminate Uchiha Obito, but I didn't expect..."

Hashirama revealed what he had done.

Upon seeing Rin, he thought of Rin in the real-life ninja world.

I think if Lin from both worlds had similar personalities, then Lin from this world would definitely place love on a higher level as well.

If Obito is truly a cancer, she will definitely help get rid of him.

Although she was a saint, she was not the kind of pedantic saint.

However, Hashirama still ignored the problem.

If Obito has truly committed numerous evils and become a scourge to the martial arts world, then Rin might indeed choose to assassinate him and rid the world of a great menace.

The problem is that Hashirama brings prophecies.

Even if Rin believed it, she would still believe, like Minato, that she could change Obito.

From Hashirama, Rin learned that Obito had already pledged allegiance to the imperial court, and that his mysterious disappearances were actually to visit the court's Grand General, Madara Uchiha.

Therefore, Lin came up with a solution on her own.

If Minato's righteousness couldn't sway Obito, then personal feelings and hatred would be used to change things.

As mentioned before, Lin is not a pedantic saint; she is willing to sacrifice everything for the greater good.

Didn't Obito like her?

So she offered herself to the emperor.

At that time, Obito will inevitably break with the imperial court because of this.

Then, Obito would naturally return to the martial arts world and join Minato, Jiraiya, and the others in rebelling against the imperial court.

If Obito endures it and chooses to continue serving the imperial court, then Rin might have a way out.

If Obito is like this, it shows that his true nature is hard to change.

Then she could try to influence him through her pillow talk, and then find an opportunity to invite Obito to meet her. After the meeting, she could immediately accuse Obito of being disrespectful to her, and use the imperial court to get rid of Obito, or force him to leave.

This is the sacrifice she has to make for everyone and for the martial arts world.

Hashirama Senju only realized later that Rin had made such a decision.

"So that's how it is... Lin really is a woman who's just as capable as any man."

Minato Namikaze showed an expression of admiration.

No one realized that from this moment on, the signs had already begun to emerge.

This is a martial arts world, but the ninja world doesn't know that without Green Cat, there is no martial arts; this is just the beginning.
