It was like saying goodbye, yet also like advising them to work hard, unlike the victorious side after a triumph—
"From now on, carry the name 'The Three Survivor Sannin' and struggle to become stronger. As part of the cost, bear your own honor…"
"See you again, if fate allows, everyone."
This was what Aomi said at the time.
Considering Aomi, during Konoha's most dominant period, proactively proposed forming a peace treaty with all the Hidden Villages, it made Onoki and the Third Raikage's feelings even more complicated.
Was Aomi truly desiring peace back then, rather than just fishery enforcement?
Though there indeed seemed to be a facade of weakness to lure them into attacking, from the outcome, Aomi spared a few of them instead of killing them all at once.
This made Aomi's intentions enigmatic.
And Isshiki's coldness and arrogance increasingly made the Third Raikage and Onoki feel that perhaps Aomi truly abandoned the peace treaty, believing the Ninja World is untrustworthy…
Therefore, before taking action to seal Kaguya, he had to first stabilize various Hidden Villages, a factor of instability in the Ninja World, and distractedly leave a way out for them, striving to preserve a certain combat power for the Ninja World.
In this contrast…
With such firm hearts, Onoki and the Third Raikage found themselves seemingly insect-like compared to Aomi!
Why so vile?
Aomi clearly made such a cordial proposal for a peace treaty. Why insist on tearing it apart and attacking Konoha!
"Uchiha Aomi… you… you must keep going!"
"You are the pride of the Ninja World, don't lose to those aliens!!!" Onoki and the Third Raikage roared such words in their hearts.
Meanwhile.
Having completed the Life Force Kinjutsu and regained his youth, Uchiha Madara was laughing loudly in the valley, the echo so strong it shook off thick layers of dust.
"This is the body of my prime! This is the strength fresh blood and flesh bring me!" Uchiha Madara clenched his fists, the purple glow from the Rinnegan in his eyes grew intensely, his face slightly twisted.
In the aging body silent for decades, this vibrant sensation made the mind of Uchiha Madara inevitably a bit lost, as chakra erupted ostentatiously.
Uchiha Obito glanced at Uchiha Madara and shook his head slightly, commenting to Zetsu: "Even though considered the Ninja World Asura… just looking at his mentality, it's far inferior to Aomi."
Upon hearing this name, even in Uchiha Obito's body, Zetsu instinctively shivered for a moment, furrowing his brows.
Seriously…
Can't you avoid mentioning that man's name all of a sudden?
It's really terrifying!
"Obito, it's time… Uchiha Madara has regained his prime form. We should let White Zetsu tell them that Senju Tobirama has been revived. After they start fighting, we seize the chance to rescue Aomi and capture the Gedo Statue!"
Zetsu calmed down, speaking to Uchiha Obito in a deep voice.
"Understood, Rin, you go control the White Zetsu to tell them…" Uchiha Obito nodded.
Uchiha Madara was still laughing.
Uchiha Izuna came over at this moment, smiling and saying to his brother: "Welcome back, brother! This stage of the Ninja World, it really is meant for you to dance upon!"
Listening to Uchiha Izuna's words, Uchiha Madara raised a broad smile, pressing his shoulder:
"Izuna, if it weren't for you… I wouldn't have reached this point alone!"
"Thanks to you!"
Uchiha Obito frowned, reluctant to watch this cloying scene.
Even if two grown men had brotherly feelings, getting all sticky seemed excessive.
Zetsu looked at Uchiha Obito humorlessly, expressing disdain for his mocking expressions towards the brothers Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna...
Do you ever realize when Aomi was mentioned, your own expressions seemed even more multifaceted?
While Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna were celebrating.
A White Zetsu jumped out from the earth, interrupting this hard-earned celebration.
"Lord Madara! Lord Izuna! We have captured highly crucial information from Konoha Village!" White Zetsu shouted.
Uchiha Madara gave a sinister smile: "Well done, have you finally located Aomi's whereabouts?"
Uchiha Izuna smiled, clapping his hands: "Blessings come in pairs!"
White Zetsu scratched his head: "It's not information about Uchiha Aomi, but we found that the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, the First Hokage Senju Hashirama, and Uzumaki Mito have been revived!"
"Among them, Senju Tobirama seems to be truly revived, while Senju Hashirama and Uzumaki Mito are in the form of Reanimation Jutsu."
Uchiha Madara's expression instantly twisted.
Senju Tobirama, that bastard, has been revived? And Hashirama is actually reanimated!
What's going on exactly?
Uchiha Izuna also fell into great confusion, how did that bastard get revived?
In a flash, Uchiha Izuna's face suddenly changed: "Trouble, I guessed wrongly!"
"I previously guessed that Aomi intended to resolve the internal Uchiha Clan and Konoha high-level disagreements peacefully, disguising himself as the reincarnation of me and Senju Tobirama…"
"But if that bastard is revived, it shows Aomi undeniably has an inseparable relation with him! White Zetsu, are you sure he is not in the Reanimation Jutsu form but truly revived?"
Uchiha Izuna unconsciously activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, his previously gentle tone adopted a fierce coldness upon hearing Senju Tobirama's name.
