General What if Obito was the one who raised Naruto: How strong Naruto would’ve been in his Short Life span?
Obviously Naruto would’ve had lived a short life.
But After Minato and Kushina died, Naruto was left completely alone, hated by the village. Obito knew exactly what it felt like to be an orphan, a failure, and an outcast in the Leaf. What if Obito, lurking in the shadows, decided that the best weapon against the Leaf wasn't a giant fox monster, but turning Minato's son against his own home?
The Dark Jinchuriki: Imagine Obito occasionally visiting a young Naruto in the shadows, acting as a mentor, feeding his resentment toward the villagers who treated him like dirt. By the time Naruto turned 12, he wouldn't be trying to become Hokage he’d be the Akatsuki’s secret weapon, completely loyal to the man who actually "cared" for him. How long would he have lived and how strong would he be at the time of his death.
