Obito's Retribution

Obito believed he understood everything, but in the end, he had overlooked the existence of Heaven's Will.

Just as Kushina had thought, the moment Obito opened his mouth, history underwent a massive change.

Before he spoke, before the Otsutsuki Clan had been observed by the central figures of the Shinobi World, everything had remained uncertain. But once Obito declared that the Otsutsuki Clan had a plant obsession, then the Otsutsuki Clan truly did have a plant obsession.

So all of the previous analysis had been wrong.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had gone mad, but he would not attack targets at random.

His instincts influenced him.

He attacked Naruto not because Naruto had been randomly selected, but because within the range he passively sensed on instinct, Naruto carried the scent most similar to the God Tree.

Isshiki's sensory range did indeed cover Obito in the sky, but he did not notice him.

It was like staring intently at a book. Even though your field of vision included the surrounding environment, the only thing you truly noticed was the content on the pages.

Tiny changes nearby, such as an ant crawling across the ground or someone scratching their back, would go completely unnoticed if you were not paying attention.

Therefore, Isshiki chose to attack Naruto first.

Some might ask: since Naruto possessed this trait that attracted Isshiki's attacks, why had Isshiki not focused his attacks on Naruto last time?

There were countless reasons that could explain it.

For example, Naruto often ate ramen, leaving a good impression on Isshiki and Ichiraku.

For example, Isshiki had not yet been cured of the PTSD from Obito removing his no-killing, no-bullying restrictions.

For example, Naruto had not yet been granted Yang Power by the Sage of Six Paths, nor had he completely mastered the Nine-Tails Chakra within
