As he walked along his path, the crowd gradually made way, watching him approach.
"Second Hokage... does Aomi-sama need me to help him now? I should be able to ignite once more!"
After Might Duy approached, he took a deep breath; his gaze was unwavering: "I believe in Aomi-sama's choice of you. I'm not stingy with my life, so please give me the order on what to do!"
Senju Tobirama gazed at Might Duy with emotion.
Can he still ignite himself? The seemingly answer is no...
Although Aomi's Yang Release Chakra is incredibly magical, healing even serious injuries like those of Uchiha Madara, Might Duy had burned out all his vitality from head to toe.
Thus, even if the Yang Release Chakra Ball entered Might Duy's body, this man was just like recovering from a severe illness, without even the basic ability to move.
But Senju Tobirama didn't doubt for a second...
If needed, Might Duy could still erupt with astonishing willpower, catalyzing an immense power with his own flesh and blood!
And all of this... was because of Aomi!
An unknown Genin, only Aomi's discerning eye and persistent trust could cultivate Might Duy into such a powerful force...
"Perhaps this is the true Will of Fire..." After such a sentiment in his heart, Senju Tobirama clasped Might Duy's shoulder and gazed seriously into his eyes:
"Duy, if Aomi needs it, I will certainly ask you to use the power of youth to assist him!"
Might Duy nodded and solemnly said: "Second Hokage-sama, I'm the guardian of Aomi's family. Please do not use the word 'ask' when it comes to doing things for Aomi-sama!"
"Understood, Duy."
Senju Tobirama coughed lightly, looking around the group, his expression stern.
Tsunade, Shisui, Uchiha Hachida, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Hatake Sakumo, Kakuzu, Hiruko, Kaguya Kimijiro, Kisame, Senju Hashirama, Uzumaki Mito...
Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Izuna, the shadows of various villages, and the past shadows and Jinchuriki resurrected from Reanimation...
All the people present combined represent nearly a hundred years of Ninja World history.
Everyone was waiting for Senju Tobirama's explanation.
What exactly is going mad? What's happened to Aomi!
"Compared to everyone else, I'm the most knowledgeable about Aomi in this Ninja World... I once lived as a Tailed Beast within Aomi, sharing years together..."
Senju Tobirama said slowly: "At that time, the conflict between Konoha and the Uchiha Clan reached its peak. Aomi, aiming to resolve the issue from the source, looked to sages in history for help..."
"He chose me when he was only eleven, probably inspired by the Reanimation Jutsu, summoning my soul into his body; he already had the mindset of a Hokage from the start..."
Uchiha Madara snorted coldly: "Sages in history? You really tout yourself... You are the culprit against the Uchiha Clan; Aomi found you probably to eliminate the root cause!"
Senju Tobirama ignored Uchiha Madara's sarcasm, though it was something he genuinely feared.
Aomi honestly told Senju Tobirama that his first choice was his kin, Uchiha Izuna, but when that guy didn't respond to Aomi's call, he, the Senju demon, was essentially the backup...
If Uchiha Izuna had gone to Aomi's body, Senju Tobirama couldn't imagine how disastrous the situation would be now!
The child would certainly be led astray!
Now it's just going mad; if it were Uchiha Izuna, perhaps the world would be doomed...
"Aomi's intelligence is extremely impressive... From then on, Aomi must have awakened the Mangekyo Dojutsu. His Dojutsu, as guessed by those extraterrestrial beings, has mimicry and replication abilities..."
"To resolve the conflict between the Uchiha and the village, externally Aomi presented a likeness of me, while internally he portrayed Uchiha Izuna, melding both sides together."
"Aomi sacrificed much... Misunderstood by many as reincarnated from someone else's Chakra, yet he continued to smile warmly, solely to make the village better."
"Even as if losing himself, playing a role of self-loss, making others believe more in his lineage..."
Uchiha Madara softly exhaled a long breath.
As a devoted viewer of Aomi, Uchiha Madara had to admit that Aomi truly deceived him! For countless nights, Uchiha Madara believed Aomi definitely was his brother and Senju Tobirama's reincarnated Chakra...
But Uchiha Madara couldn't be angry at Aomi's intangible deception...
Why?
Because Aomi used this method to pull the Uchiha Clan, already about to fall into the abyss, step by step back from the edge, elevating the entire clan, making it better and better...
As a proud Uchiha, Uchiha Madara would never believe that someone with talent like Aomi would inherently prefer playing the role of someone else's reincarnation!
The Uchiha Clan is proud...
In the Warring States Era, whenever Uchiha Madara heard the reincarnation hypothesis, he felt extreme resentment and irritation.
He is himself, Uchiha Madara!
So how could someone as talented as Aomi possibly want to be someone else? This was all a sacrifice for the clan!
"This is Aomi's wisdom... An eleven-year-old child, using his thoughts and Jutsu, step by step healed the rift between Konoha and the Uchiha..."
Senju Tobirama's expression gradually grew solemn, speaking heavily:
"But... Aomi is just too smart! When I say 'going mad,' I mean the innate trait of the Uchiha Clan, an intrinsic tendency towards madness, in other words, an inclination to extremity."
"This isn't slander, Uchiha Izuna, you should understand what I mean..."
Uchiha Izuna reluctantly nodded but truthfully said: "Yes, there is such a phenomenon... The stronger and wiser the Uchiha, the more they tend to have thoughts beyond common understanding..."
Actually, his brother is a representative of this.
Regarding an inexplicably sourced stone tablet and a ludicrous sounding Infinite Tsukuyomi plan, he physically pursued it for decades, deeply believing in it...
If not for his own brother, Uchiha Izuna would really want to describe Uchiha Madara's thoughts as defying logic.
"In Aomi's gradual growth process, he witnessed the ugliness of the Ninja World and human minds... Aomi's exceptional talent made him noticed by the Six Paths Sage, becoming a vessel for potential reincarnation..."
"Under such immense pressure, Aomi kept pondering how to bring peace to the Ninja World, how to eliminate inner darkness and falsehoods in people's hearts..."
Senju Tobirama took a deep breath, his gaze profound: "When an Uchiha thinks about killing, it's not a big issue, but when they think of peace, that's the most terrifying..."
"Regarding this, Aomi tried many methods, including signing peace treaties, testing if hidden villages truly yearn for peace, and using Shimura Danzo as a bet, if he could redeem himself on the battlefield, then the Will of Fire is real and genuine..."
"My greatest regret is teaching Shimura Danzo, that disciple."
"And the Will of Fire and people's hearts let Aomi down... Especially with the Six Paths Sage inside him, his thoughts are not stable, prone to extremes..."
Senju Tobirama said solemnly: "I fear that Aomi wants to reset this Ninja World! In the Uchiha Clan Land, there's a stone tablet recording a method..."
"It's called Infinite Tsukuyomi, essentially a massive Genjutsu to brainwash all ninjas, dispensing with falsehood in people's hearts, but I've researched; this Genjutsu will surely destroy reality, making everyone live digitally but die physically..."
"Aomi's demeanor earlier seemed like he was about to initiate this so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi!"
And at this moment.
As soon as Senju Tobirama's words fell.
From the ocean's center, a towering tsunami, about a hundred meters high, furiously surged towards the shore, this disaster-like scene interrupted the conversation!
Aomi and Momoshiki, Urashiki began their battle!
"All with Mangekyo Sharingan, activate Susanoo and get everyone to safety in the sky!"
Facing the tsunami, Senju Tobirama roared: "Anyway, go assist Aomi, but don't act rashly!"
