Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 5: Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Protector of the Shinobi World?

Upon hearing the name Kaguya Otsutsuki, everyone in the Akatsuki organization except for Black Zetsu was thrown into confusion.

Everyone is wondering.

Who is this?

Black Zetsu was the most confused.

—If you're not my buddy, who are you?

Black Zetsu has been working on the plan to resurrect Kaguya for over a thousand years, never seeking any true allies, and his interactions with Indra and his reincarnation were purely for exploitation.

It was because Black Zetsu knew that it had endless life but no power.

It can afford to wait, but it absolutely cannot afford to lose.

Because it was the mother's only hope for escape.

Therefore, Blackie will never engage in any gambling activities.

Just like when Madara Uchiha was killed by Hashirama Senju at the Valley of the End, it chose to give up immediately.

It never thought of, much less did, to pass on its idea of ​​resurrecting its mother to anyone; it did not trust anyone else.

And today, someone actually said that.

This statement represents a plan that Black Zetsu has been relentlessly pursuing for over a thousand years.

So who exactly is this person?

As if he had heard Black Zetsu's thoughts, Bai Mo did not directly explain the details of the plan, nor did he immediately introduce Kaguya Otsutsuki. Instead, he introduced himself first.

"Let me reintroduce myself. I am the leader of Amegakure from twenty years in the future, and also an archaeologist."

"What?! Twenty years from now?"

"You can ask Zero and White Tiger for verification; I've already proven it to them."

Faced with everyone's surprise and doubt, Bai Mo shrugged.

"That's right, I've already verified its authenticity, there's no doubt about that."

Payne spoke calmly.

That's what they say, but to really determine the truth, they should have used the Hell Realm to detect lies from the beginning, or directly read memories from the Human Realm.

However, Nagato still used the most primitive method to identify Bai Mo and confirmed that Bai Mo was his companion.

This may also explain why he was chosen by Madara Uchiha and why he was later persuaded by Naruto's verbal persuasion.

That's a bit naive.

Of course, Bai Mo didn't lie to him about anything.

"Alright, that concludes the introduction. I hope you understand that what I'm about to say concerns future events and the results of archaeological findings."

The name Kaguya Ōtsutsuki might be unfamiliar to many, but what about the Sage of Six Paths?

As Bai Mo finished speaking, everyone's gaze turned to Payne.

To be precise, it is Pain's Rinnegan.

"Kaguya Otsutsuki was the mother of the Sage of Six Paths, and she was sealed away by the Sage of Six Paths and his brothers."

Bai Mo continued his story.

"Sealed? Why? Could it be that Kaguya Otsutsuki wants to destroy the world?"

Deidara stroked his chin and asked.

"almost."

Bai Mo nodded.

"Huh? Deidara, how did you know?"

Hidan looked at Deidara in surprise.

"What else could it be? Because Mom wouldn't buy me toys, the Sage of Six Paths angrily sealed her away?"

Deidara rolled his eyes.

"To be precise, Kaguya Otsutsuki planned to transform everyone into a formless entity, making them her soldiers..."

Bai Mo continued speaking.

"Huh? Isn't that the great demon? Why would we need to resurrect her?"

Hidan exclaimed in surprise.

I don't know how someone who believes in evil gods could have the nerve to say such a thing.

"Don't rush, let me finish."

Bai Mo raised his hand, signaling to calm down.

"Based on my archaeological speculation, the Sage of Six Paths was probably just as impatient as you, which is why he caused such a calamity for thousands of years."

At this point, anyone with a brain should have asked – why does she need soldiers?

If everyone in the world were transformed into her unconscious soldiers, who would she use those soldiers to fight?

Bai Mo's words instantly cleared up the confusion among the crowd: "Right, what would she need soldiers for if everyone was gone?"

"The reason is simple: she created soldiers for her own safety, or you could say to protect the world."

"what?"

"Kaguya Otsutsuki, the enemy she faces is her own clan, the Otsutsuki clan from beyond the heavens."

To fight them, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had to create soldiers.

Of course, these soldiers are only around the level of ordinary Chunin, and due to their lack of initiative and ninjutsu skills, they are probably even weaker.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Let me give you some background information: Ninjutsu was created by Indra, the son of the Sage of Six Paths.

Chakra was brought by Kaguya Otsutsuki, and the Sage of Six Paths only taught ordinary people how to refine it after sealing Kaguya away.

In other words, during Kaguya's time, there were no ninjas, only ordinary villagers.

In this situation, being able to transform these defenseless villagers into Chunin-level combatants is indeed a good thing in terms of combat strength.

"So, how should we rationally view the current ninja world from Kaguya Otsutsuki's perspective?"

Although there are still countless ordinary people, as the history of ninjas has progressed to this point, countless masters at the Kage level and elite Jonin level have emerged.

And you all, a truly top-tier ninja is worth hundreds or even thousands of Chunin.

In this situation, what's the point of converting top-tier ninjas into ordinary, unremarkable Chunin as combat troops?

As soon as Bai Mo said this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.

This logic is indeed sound.

Kaguya Otsutsuki isn't stupid. Why would she randomly upgrade an SSR to an R? Is that a problem?

Only Black Zetsu was sneering.

It listened for a long time, thinking that Bai Mo had some profound insights, but it turned out to be just this?

The issue now is not whether Mother will turn everyone into White Zetsu after her resurrection, but rather that if Mother wants to be resurrected, she must activate Infinite Tsukuyomi, absorb the chakra of the entire ninja world, and unify all things!

"So Akatsuki's goal has now changed to resurrecting the Sage of Six Paths' mother?"

"Hiss, according to you, this does sound more intimidating than collecting all nine tailed beasts. Hmm."

Deidara analyzed the situation and agreed with Bai Mo.

"Tailed beasts are already difficult to control, let alone someone like her. Are you sure she'll really help us after we revive her?"

Xiao Nan frowned.

"Don't worry, according to archaeological records, Kaguya Otsutsuki is quite naive and innocent. If you speak to someone of similar strength and then talk to them nicely, it's easy to persuade them."

"...Alright then, how can such a being be resurrected? It must be quite a feat, right?"

Xiao Nan's lips twitched slightly.

Naïve and innocent?

Is this the vocabulary of the founder of the world of tolerance?

Xiao Nan selectively ignored it.

I decided to ask about the specifics first.

The word "resurrection" is far too sensitive.

After all, Nagato possessed the ability to revive.

"Indeed, it's not simple. There are two ways to revive Kaguya. The first condition for the first method is to collect all nine tailed beasts..."

"Isn't that the same as before?"

Hidan interrupted again.

"?!"

Black Zetsu was thinking about how to trick Bai Mo into becoming a pawn in its plan to revive its mother when it heard this and was stunned.

Bai Mo... does he know how to revive his mother?

But what does it mean to have "two ways"?

It's been living for thousands of years and it still hasn't discovered a second way?
