Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 99 The Incredibly Dark Kaleidoscope Ability

The Rasengan that Boruto (Momoshiki Manifestation) used to kill Hiruzen Sarutobi was one that he had absorbed using Takamura's spirit while Naruto was teaching Konohamaru the Rasengan.

Takao-no-Mikoto, the spirit master, possesses the Rinnegan ability of Momoshiki Otsutsuki, which allows him to absorb ninjutsu, amplify its power, and then release it.

Absorbing a regular Rasengan and releasing it can unleash the power of a Super Rasengan.

However, to minimize noise, Momoshiki opted for a compressed Rasengan.

It's still the size of a regular Rasengan, but its power is terrifying.

It pierced through Hiruzen Sarutobi's body like a meat grinder.

After defeating Hiruzen Sarutobi, Momoshiki originally planned to enlarge the Rasengan and destroy the evidence.

Momoshiki's keen sense of time and space made him suddenly realize that he couldn't do this.

It seems that preserving Hiruzen Sarutobi's body will play a crucial role in the future, marking an important turning point.

"snort."

Momoshiki snorted coldly, transforming the dissipating Rasengan into a thrust, pushing Hiruzen Sarutobi's corpse towards the forest.

After half an hour.

Naruto and Konohamaru returned from their slack-off and were puzzled to find only Boruto alone.

"Hey, where's my grandpa?"

Konohamaru asked, hands on his hips.

He said he had other things to do and had left a long time ago.

Boruto felt very guilty about deceiving his older brother Konohamaru, and he didn't dare to look Konohamaru in the eye when he spoke.

However, the two carefree children in front of him were completely unaware of Boruto's unusual behavior.

"Busy? Didn't the Third Hokage step down?"

Naruto was puzzled.

"Brother Naruto, don't you know? The Fifth Hokage has just taken office, and my grandfather is still helping to handle a lot of things."

Konohamaru explained.

"Oh, I see..."

"..."

Boruto breathed a sigh of relief when he realized he had gotten away with it.

At the same time, he desperately hoped that his master Sasuke would return soon, as he was now all alone and didn't know what to do.

-

The desert of the Land of Wind.

After Bai Mo finished telling Temari the story, Temari understood what Bai Mo meant.

Just as she was agonizing over who should do this, she passed through a village and happened to see Gaara dealing with several invading bandits at the village entrance.

The sandstorm carrying the funeral procession completely encased the people in sand and crushed them into dust.

Although he used cruel methods, Gaara became very gentle when he turned to comfort the villagers.

It was this gentleness that made Gaara's movements somewhat awkward, as if he was trying his best to recall and learn the personality of his uncle Yashamaru from his memories.

"Now I understand why he was able to become the Kazekage; it was an indirect way of combining kindness and severity."

Bai Mo couldn't help but laugh as he watched Gaara's actions.

Gaara's original image was one of power, and others would only feel fear towards him.

Gaara, who has now been spoken to by Naruto, has had his personality changed.

This change would create a huge contrast for someone who already had a fear of Gaara.

However, although Gaara is still learning and learning now, by the time of the Fourth Shinobi World War, he will be very mature and able to become the leader of the Allied Shinobi Forces.

Compared to him, Naruto, who is over thirty, doesn't seem as mature as Gaara, who was fifteen.

"elder sister?"

After finishing his business, Gaara turned to leave the village, only to see Temari and Bai Mo.

"Let's go back together."

Temari extended an invitation.

"Wait a minute, if you're not in a hurry, come with me to two places first."

Bai Mo was looking at a map spread out on the ground.

"No rush, the last batch has already been processed today."

Thanks to Gaara's tireless efforts these past few days, the turmoil in the Land of Wind caused by the death of the Fourth Kazekage is almost quelled.

Gaara, relying on his "talent" of being unable to sleep, has been running around these past few days, dealing with bandits and robbers in various places, and his methods are extremely cruel in the eyes of others, thus establishing a new reputation.

The three embarked on their journey.

On their way to their destination, Bai Mo told them about the first location.

"Unseal the power of a powerful member of the Uchiha clan from the Warring States period?"

Temari was puzzled upon hearing this, "A strong person? How strong?"

"So powerful that Madara Uchiha would fall silent if he knew, and Itachi Uchiha would weep if he knew."

"what?"

"Just kidding, but in terms of Sharingan alone, her eyes are indeed more powerful than these two."

—Well, Madara's Rinnegan doesn't count.

Bai Mo could only say that the Mangekyou Sharingan is like drawing cards or updating a game version.

Madara's kaleidoscope ability is unknown, and it's not mentioned at all in the official guidebooks. The only possible speculation is that it's an enhancement technique.

Itachi is Amaterasu Tsukuyomi.

In the future, Sasuke awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan, specifically Kagutsuchi and Amaterasu.

So what abilities did Uchiha Hikaru, our ancestor from the Warring States period, possess?

Eight thousand spears.

It is known as the Little Divine Tree.

Not only can it absorb other people's chakra, but it can also transfer the chakra back to others, with an added amplification and enhancement effect.

It belongs to the category of self-sacrificing, low-end, high-royal-quality spirit venerables.

Madara's Mangekyou Sharingan ability, which he might not even possess, was instantly defeated.

If Black Zetsu hadn't focused all his attention on Ashura and the reincarnation of Indra, and instead paid attention to the physical and mental health of Uchiha Hikaru, he might have already unsealed Kaguya during the Warring States period.

In addition, the Uchiha clan transplanted the Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu eye techniques into Hikaru Uchiha's eyes in an extremely cruel, painful, inhumane, and now lost manner.

Furthermore, due to the amplification effect, Tsukuyomi can evolve into Imprinted Tsukuyomi, projected onto the moon. It appears to be Infinite Tsukuyomi, but it can achieve an effect similar to Kotoamatsukami control, even allowing someone of Naruto's level to control it.

Amaterasu is just a little lacking; it can only be amplified into Kagutsuchi.

Just listing these abilities makes Uchiha Hikaru's Sharingan seem incredibly sinister.

Why don't you just incorporate Kamui into it too?

Oh, maybe it's because she opened her eyes too young and hasn't experienced romantic love yet, so she can't hide her tears.

That's fine.

Soon, Bai Mo and his group arrived at their destination.

The place where Uchiha Hikaru was sealed was located on the border of the Land of Rivers.

That is, the small country sandwiched between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire.

It's no wonder no one has noticed it since it's so far away.

According to the scroll provided by Hiruzen Sarutobi, Bai Mo found the location.

"Wait a moment."

Before Bai Mo could do anything, Temari suddenly called out to him.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Mo looked over and saw Temari looking conflicted.

"Have you considered whether that person will listen to you after the lockdown is lifted? What if that person attacks us as soon as they come out?"

Temari thought of everything very thoroughly.

"I've thought about that too, and I do have a way to solve this problem, but..."

Bai Mo sighed as he finished speaking.

"Just what?"

Temari was curious.

"I can't bring myself to say it, I can't do such a thing."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Temari's expression turned somewhat strange.

It's as if it's saying—there are things you can't say, things you're embarrassed to do?
