Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

"No--"

Once the anesthesia wore off, Obito was led to a private room by the eunuch who had called him earlier. As soon as the eunuch stepped out of the room, he heard Obito's desperate cries coming from inside.

Obito checked inside the house and found that what he had worried about had indeed happened.

No more.

There really aren't any left!

Obito recalled one of his strange memories from his dream: a nightmare in which he was hit by a rock while trying to save Kakashi, and half of his body was smashed, including his vital parts.

At the time, Obito didn't pay any attention to this memory.

In his mind, he would never risk his life for Kakashi, so naturally he wouldn't encounter the same thing as in his dream.

Unexpectedly, even though he didn't sacrifice himself for Kakashi, he still ended up with the same fate as in his dream.

Most importantly, this is utter despair.

The Crimson Moon Orb can reverse cause and effect and return to the past, which is why Obito previously thought of seizing the Crimson Moon Orb to save Rin, who had not yet been harmed.

The problem is that the Crimson Moon Pearl can only save others, not the user himself.

Even if Obito obtains the Crimson Moon Orb and travels through time multiple times, he will still be the incomplete version of himself he is now.

So, even if he obtains the Red Moon Pearl and saves Lin, what's the point?

Lin will still belong to someone else!

As for obtaining the Red Moon Pearl and then handing it over to someone else so that they can go back in time to save him?

Theoretically, it's feasible, but the problem is that Obito simply doesn't have someone he can trust.

The Red Moon Pearl was originally something he wanted to embezzle for his own use by taking advantage of the imperial court; how could he possibly hand it over to someone else?

At this moment, the eunuch returned.

Obito snapped out of his daze and glared at the other man with hatred in his eyes.

He hated his master, Minato, and he also hated the eunuch in front of him, who had personally captured him and turned him into one of his own kind!

"Give me back what I owed you!!!"

Obito let out a roar.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I came back to return it to you, didn't I?"

The eunuch waved his hand, took a jar from his robes, and placed it on the table.

Upon hearing this, Obito was stunned for a moment, thinking there might be a twist. But when he saw the jar, he immediately understood what "returning it to you" meant, and his expression turned even worse.

"If you were to enter the palace, this item would be stored away and returned to you at your burial. But since you've only been punished, you'll have to keep it yourself. If you lose it, no one will help you find it."

The eunuch gave an explanation.

"I...I...I'll kill you!!!"

Otto grabbed the jar, smashed it on the ground, and then, without even looking, crushed its contents to pieces.

Immediately afterward, feeling that he had regained some of his Qi, he grabbed at the eunuch's neck.

"You'd better think this through. I'm working for the Emperor. If you kill me, my life is a small matter, but the Emperor's reputation will be trampled on by you."

Furthermore, you must not harbor hatred. You must understand that both thunder and rain are acts of imperial grace. You have committed a wrong, and the Emperor is merely punishing you. You are still alive, and you should be grateful.

The eunuch's words caused Obito to helplessly lower his hand.

This completely shut down his ideas.

Obito limped away from this sorrowful place.

He first went to investigate Ban's whereabouts.

I heard that Madara, as the "culprit," has indeed been secretly executed.

There are also rumors that Ban was executed because the emperor discovered that he had prepared two hundred suits of armor among his burial goods. The emperor was very displeased and found a pretext to deal with him.

Obito couldn't tell whether Madara was really dead or just pretending.

All he knew was that he had to hurry and receive Ban's inheritance.

After receiving Madara's legacy, he plans to first eliminate his master, Minato, to vent his pent-up hatred.

However, while sorting through Madara's belongings, Obito discovered a document.

The document records a period of history from the past.

This is said to be the origin of the Uchiha clan and the Senju sect.

Legend has it that long, long ago, there was a monk named Liudao who, in order to spread Buddhism, voluntarily endured punishment and entered the palace to preach Buddhism to the emperor.

After preaching Buddhism for forty-nine days, the monk left the palace, returned to secular life, married, and had children, becoming the ancestor of the Senju and Uchiha sects.

Obito was extremely excited when he saw this.

After the six realms of the high monk were cut off, how could they grow back?

This seems very similar to the Six Paths of Yang Power in my dream.

Obito continued reading.

It turns out that hundreds of years ago, the treasure that sparked the martial arts world's struggle was not the Red Moon Pearl, but something called the "Six Paths Remains".

It is said that those who obtain the remains of the Six Paths can comprehend unparalleled martial arts from them, and can even bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded.

To this day, the legend of the Six Paths' remains has almost completely disappeared, replaced by the legend of the Crimson Moon Orb reversing fate.

"How could this happen?"

Obito also noticed the problem and felt a chill run down his spine.

Indeed, there was no martial arts legend about the Six Paths Remains in his memory at all.

If it weren't for the fact that Ban kept this record, probably no one would know about this at all.

Why did the legend suddenly disappear?

Is it because the remains of the Six Paths have already been obtained by someone else, or is there some other reason?

Moreover, to be precise, the legend did not disappear, but was replaced by the Red Moon Pearl.

This is too bizarre.

Moreover, Obito didn't realize it when he was reading the story, but he realized it now that he had finished reading it. The legend of the high monk Rokudo took place thousands of years ago.

Did an "emperor" already exist at that time?

And why was the emperor also referred to as "Emperor" back then, exactly the same as now?

What was the emperor's name?

Is it a taboo, or is it that the emperor in this story and the current emperor are actually the same person?

With the strength of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, they could easily go into seclusion for a hundred years.

So, how terrifying was the power of that emperor who existed thousands of years ago, or even longer?

At this moment, Obito suddenly understood what the eunuch meant by "thunder and rain are all divine grace."

With his abilities, he certainly had no right to hate the emperor.

This disaster is like all living things encountering a flood, a volcanic eruption, a typhoon, or a tsunami.

All that can be done is to take the best possible protective measures to protect oneself, or to pray and offer sacrifices to heaven.

To hate God or nature is a foolish thing to do.

"The remains of the Six Paths..."

Obito muttered to himself.

This is a treasure that caused a fight in the martial arts world in the last reincarnation, and no one knows where it is now.

But at least he knew that such a thing existed, and he had hope again.

—If he can find the remains of the Six Paths, he can become a complete man again.
