"Trust me, with me, you can save the Ninja World together. With me here, you won't be betrayed again..."
"When the day of success comes, I believe that when you and I look back at the twists and turns along the way, they will be nothing more than a bit of frost."
Kaguya stared blankly at Aomi.
So...
Aomi had this thought in mind, he truly regarded her as a goddess of salvation, wanting her to become the chosen one by the Gaia Consciousness!
This genuinely was for her sake.
But then, Kaguya's heart began to panic, because she never had the slightest thought of protecting the Ninja World!
As the Gaia Consciousness, the embodiment of the planet, how could it have a good face for her, an intruding robber?
And the great love Aomi showed for the Ninja World made Kaguya feel that if this planet could awaken the Gaia Consciousness, then the chosen one must be Aomi!
However, Kaguya couldn't refuse Aomi, nor could she refuse the goodwill he released from the bottom of his heart.
"Kaguya, you are currently residing within me, we are one..."
Aomi said softly:
"All you need to do is to be the leaf basking in sunlight, just maintain your love for the Ninja World, while I will be the root hidden in the dark, helping you absorb those negative emotions, healing the wounds caused by those close to you in the past."
"I brought you to see this scene today to tell you that no matter how treacherous human hearts are, or how twisted the misunderstandings in the future become, I can bear them for you. With me standing in front, you don't need to worry too much..."
"Just don't give up on the ideal you once had to protect the Ninja World, Kaguya!"
[From the confrontation target Otsutsuki Kaguya: You acquired the Ninpo—All-Killing Ash Bone!]
Kaguya had never met someone like Aomi.
He didn't deceive her into becoming the Gaia Consciousness's representative hard, but rather straightforwardly told Kaguya the challenges she would face along the way, and then told her he would bear them, every word touching the heart that had been betrayed before.
Especially with the story of Uchiha Itachi as a comparison...
Aomi respected her so much, openly telling Kaguya the way, difficulty, and methods to save the Ninja World, without hiding anything.
Could that which Uchiha Itachi called love?
Absolutely not!
Then what Aomi had, could it be called love?
Indeed, it was love, love for the entire Ninja World and this planet...
Only for a moment, Kaguya regretfully thought why Aomi's love was not a personal love for her, and why she deceived Aomi!
In this tangled situation, Kaguya lowered her head, only to nod vaguely: "Mm..."
Aomi's character...
If she wholeheartedly dedicated herself to Aomi, not doing anything harmful to him or the Ninja World, even if some small details were hidden in the past...
Most likely, Aomi would also give her a chance to be forgiven!
"Aomi, I, I will do my best... But you must also try your best!"
Kaguya said softly: "To have insurance, in case I don't succeed, you should also try to become the being chosen by Gaia Consciousness..."
Aomi smiled and nodded: "You go first, I believe in you, Kaguya..."
Regarding Kaguya being chosen by the Gaia Consciousness, even if Aomi hadn't awakened the final confrontation, he knew it was impossible.
Impossibility doesn't matter, but making Kaguya think Aomi believed she could, that's what mattered.
The All-Killing Ash Bone, wasn't that proof that Kaguya's heart had opened up slightly?
Next, Aomi would teach Kaguya more combat techniques gently, and just like taking on an apprentice multiple returns, whatever Kaguya learned from Aomi, she would return multiple times over...
The quarrel between Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Fugaku continued.
But Aomi no longer cared about this father and son pair, as their utilitarian value had reached the verge. They could wait to burn out on their own.
Even if they did some disgraceful things.
In today's Konoha, naturally, someone would help them be decent, no need for Aomi to act personally.
"Kaguya, tomorrow's training will be even more difficult. Are you confident to finish it?" Aomi smiled as he looked warmly at Kaguya, who was both eager to fight and inexplicably a bit guilty.
"Of course! Teacher Aomi..." Kaguya playfully blinked:
"Please take care of me!"
And as the interaction between Aomi and Kaguya grew more profound and accelerated...
The other forces in the Ninja World did not stop.
Uchiha Madara was racing against time to restore his body, aiming to recover at his peak, Uchiha Obito was digesting the refined power in his bloodline by Black Zetsu, while learning the Life Force Ninjutsu researched by Orochimaru...
Otsutsuki Isshiki came to the Hidden Rock, dressed as a monk, his eyes flashing with a dark golden light.
He planned to take control of the two villages devastated by Aomi, and help them heal, as pawns for Aomi during the sealing ritual!
Aiming at Aomi and Otsutsuki Kaguya as Otsutsuki Isshiki prepared to complete his own body, he did not hesitate to slightly consume his precious true body power because these were necessary costs!
As long as he got Aomi's body, created Kaguya into Chakra...
He would be stronger than his previous peak state!
At this moment.
In Konoha's Hokage Building.
Senju Tobirama, Senju Hashirama, Uzumaki Mito, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and others were in a meeting.
An evil-minded Second Hokage was sitting in the middle, discussing his recently thought-of Kinjutsu.
Senju Tobirama's pair of Mangekyo emitted a cold, piercing power, speaking in a deep voice: "To seal the Six Paths Sage, relying solely on normal Jutsu is far from enough!"
"In the desert of the Land of Wind, there is a hidden ground energy source called the Dragon Vein, which, according to my previous investigation, has space-time properties..."
"We need to use the power of the Dragon Vein to create a new type of seal to banish the Six Paths Sage inside Aomi to another dimension!"
Senju Tobirama waved his hand: "In this way, we can solve the problem once and for all!"
"I've finished speaking, who agrees and who opposes?"
"Tobirama, I'm not disagreeing, but won't this bring trouble to other dimensions..." Senju Hashirama hesitantly spoke.
"Shut up, big brother!"
Senju Tobirama impatiently brushed off Senju Hashirama's opinion, seeing Uzumaki Mito nod thoughtfully, his heart filled with joy—
"I announce, the Straying Six Paths Sage plan, officially begins!"
