But it wasn't until Senju Tobirama recounted all his stories with Aomi...
That Might Duy realized the harshest war wasn't the so-called Third Ninja World War—even though in history, it is considered the most brutal war.
It was the impending war, with an unknown path...
Against the Six Paths Sage!
"The war that should be fought, Lord Aomi has fought for us... The faith that should be guarded, Lord Aomi has guarded for the village... The path that should be walked, Lord Aomi has already reached the end..."
Might Duy sat beside Shisui, his thick eyebrows standing tall like mountains, and said in a deep voice, "Next, we must unite and welcome Lord Aomi back!"
"Cheer up, Shisui! Now is not the time to be sad... We need to ignite our youth and welcome Lord Aomi back, watch him don the Divine Robe of the Fourth Hokage!"
Shisui's sobbing gradually subsided, and he looked up at Might Duy, whose eyes also shimmered with tears, solemnly nodding, "Uncle Duy, I understand!"
"Shisui, your dojutsu can unleash a person's potential, right..."
Might Duy looked at the Mangekyo pattern in Shisui's eyes, speaking in a deep voice, "I need this power to let my youth burn in a more intense manner. Use a part on me first, I need to adjust to you..."
Without hesitation, a red glow flashed in Shisui's eyes.
Eight Gates - Death Gate...
And Mangekyo Dojutsu, which can further unleash one's potential, began to synchronize at this moment.
Meanwhile, in Konoha.
There were many ninjas with the same resolve as Might Duy and Shisui...
Asuma glanced at the letter Aomi left him, instinctively extinguishing his cigarette, the ashtray in front of him piled high with cigarette butts.
——"...Asuma, you are a worthy inheritor of the Will of Fire. I'm glad to be friends with you, never forget your original intention...
This is why Asuma went to teach at the Ninja School.
In terms of strength, Asuma knows he is just an ordinary person, unable to help Aomi much...
Let alone facing the Six Paths Sage, even a regular Kage Level opponent is beyond Asuma's capacity to handle.
In this agony, Asuma can only, as the Son of the Hokage, strive to make Aomi a legend of Konoha, planting unforgettable roots in the hearts of the new generation of Ninja Academy students...
It's the only thing he can do.
Yet, due to Asuma's dedication, Kaguya began to become captivated by Aomi's story...
A sip and a bite, could it be predestined.
Within Root.
Hiruko's eyes were bloodshot, obsessively collecting five types of Kekkeigenkai, trying to perfect his Chimera Jutsu to the highest level!
He finally understood...
Why Aomi suddenly came to the Tobirama and handed him a pair of Sharingan.
That's because Lord Aomi is heading to suppress the Six Paths Sage!
That means even in the face of such major events, at the brink of life and death, Aomi still hasn't forgotten this ordinary Jonin from Konoha!
Still remembers him, keeps him in his heart!
This kindness makes Hiruko's heart surge with heat, and yet, he feels exceptionally pained!
A man would die for a friend who knows him...
He wants to do something for Aomi! But whatever he does, he will need power...
"Lord Aomi, I'll bring the complete form of Chimera Jutsu, and with everyone, I'll help you slay the gods!" Hiruko furiously modified his body, shouting madly in the isolated experiment in Root.
Hatake Sakumo and Kakuzu, this pair, were also in Root, undergoing risky Hashirama's Cells transplant surgery...
To rescue Aomi, every Root member risked their lives to enhance their meager strength as much as possible!
Far off in Hidden Mist, Hyuga Hizashi, having retired from safeguarding Aomi's seal, hurried back towards Konoha...
He needed to mobilize forces within the Hyuga Clan...
To observe Aomi's seal most meticulously and comprehensively, Byakugan is the best!
And if the Hyuga Main Family disagreed.
Hyuga Hizashi wouldn't mind helping them save face... All concessions are made to revive Lord Aomi!
Senju Clan Land.
After hesitating for a long time, Tsunade tremblingly took out the letter given to her by Aomi, slowly breaking the seal of fire on it.
This was Aomi's whisper left after embracing her on the battlefield.
"Chicken soup, it's the recipe for chicken soup..." Tsunade read the letter's contents.
Aomi detailedly explained to Tsunade how to cook a delicious bowl of chicken soup, without mentioning anything about the Six Paths Sage, just reminding her to eat regularly and live well in the future.
It seems...
He didn't want to say anything emotional, making Tsunade regret more, so it's just mild concern.
Yet, these words make Tsunade's heart ache even more!
Once, Aomi gently walked into her life, pulling Tsunade out from a realm shrouded in darkness...
But now.
Aomi again seems to walk away with mildness.
Tsunade dares not think about how Aomi is in a coffin-like chamber, alone facing the legendary Six Paths Sage?
...
The emotions of Konoha's people crazily converged towards Aomi, making the fortune gathered around him grow increasingly heavy.
And the Aomi everyone worried about was indeed confronting the Six Paths Sage... and the Sage's mother, intensely!
"Although I restricted your power to the level of a Ninja Academy student..."
Aomi gazed complexly at the thoroughly blushed Kaguya: "Kaguya, I'm not trying to criticize you, but even as the Goddess of Rabbit, a branch member of the Otsutsuki Clan, you can't execute even the Three-Body Jutsu of Ninja School students?"
"But... it's really hard!"
After failing once again, Kaguya fell into great confusion: "Aomi, what should I do?"
"Help me!"
