Among them, Naruto was the top priority.
Most of the Nine-Tails' and Ashura's essence within him had already been plundered, leaving only a tiny portion that had been returned to disguise his identity.
Naruto Uzumaki himself basically no longer had anything to offer him.
He was like chicken ribs.
Tasteless to eat, yet a pity to throw away.
Of course, Naruto Uzumaki being useless to him did not mean that his various identities could not be put to use.
And now, was the time to make the most of them.
The corners of Uchiha Tenshu's lips curled upward in a smile as the astonishing wisdom in his mind continued to churn.
As a visitor from another world and the son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina, he would surely be regarded by them as their future son. The two would protect him as their own flesh and blood, and he would receive the care of Jiraiya and the rest of the Hokage faction. Not to mention that the Nine-Tails' power within him would allow Konoha to gain another Nine-Tails.
This was an opportunity Konoha could not possibly miss.
Keeping him in his own hands
would only waste his time.
But conversely, if Naruto Uzumaki, the greatest bait, along with the Nine-Tails' power within him, was not in his hands
but instead appeared in Konoha, then given the strength he had displayed, Konoha likely would have no intention of fighting him to the death. They would only use his Uchiha identity to force the Uchiha clan to deal with him internally, buying him quite a bit of time.
Of course!
Even if Naruto Uzumaki were sent back to Konoha Shinobi Village, how should he be sent?
When should he be sent?
And to whom?
Those were all crucial questions.
Sending him directly
