In Senju Tobirama's view, Uchiha Izuna and Uchiha Madara have become the Six Paths Sage's enforcers. They are here to forcibly take away Aomi, accelerating the Sage's possession process...
But during the battle against Isshiki,
both of them realized that neither seemed to harbor any malice toward Aomi, and both were motivated by a protective mindset, though coming from different starting points...
Although Uchiha Izuna and Senju Tobirama didn't explicitly state it, after decades of opposition, they understood each other so well that they were quite confident—
There's a misunderstanding here!
"You..." Senju Tobirama squinted his eyes, glancing slowly at Isshiki: "What's your situation?"
"What do you mean, what's my situation?"
Uchiha Izuna snorted coldly: "Why don't you tell me what's your situation?"
In an instant, both of them activated their Mangekyo Sharingan, glaring at each other unyieldingly, as if they were opposing each other again!
As for Isshiki, both didn't bother to pay attention to him.
And on one side, Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Madara watched this scene helplessly.
Being specially attended to and overloaded by Isshiki, they were severely injured, and it was impossible for them to regain their combat powers in the short term...
It turned back into a duel between Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Izuna.
On the side, Aomi took a deep breath, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
Throughout his life, though Aomi lived as if treading on thin ice, he enjoyed the support and love from various factions of the Ninja World, with countless elder brothers and sisters supporting him...
From the beginning, with Senju Tobirama as the only top supporter, to the joining of Uchiha Madara and Uzumaki Mito, as well as the clans like Uchiha, Hyuga, and the Kaguya Clan being die-hard fans, and the support from Hatake Sakumo, Kakuzu, Onoki, and various Jinchuriki...
The rewards Aomi received gradually increased, and he became stronger and stronger.
He even received gifts from Six Paths level spectators, such as Kaguya and Hamura, who sent gold coins to Aomi.
But even those Otsutsuki weren't deemed by Aomi to surpass Might Duy's massive gift to him today!
[Youthful Support from Might Father and Son]: When the physique of the Might father and son enhances, your own enhancements will increase accordingly, converting to significantly elevated recovery ability, strength, potential, etc.
[From Special Talent— "Youthful Support from Might Father and Son," the acquired physical enhancements have been evenly converted into various basic stats, causing a substantial increase in your physical power, speed, explosive force, defensive power, and endurance!]
[Special Talent Obtained from the Target, Might Duy— "Burning Regretless Youth"!]
[Burning Regretless Youth]: The recoil you experience when opening the Death Gate will transform into sustained damage for a period, and when you kill an enemy in the Death Gate state, it will drain their life force to heal the exhaustive damage caused to the host by the Death Gate.
Why did Aomi want Might Duy to open the Death Gate?
It wasn't just to shock Kaguya, but most importantly, to convert the massive power surge from Duy's opening of the Death Gate into his own strength...
The explosive offensive boost brought by the Death Gate to Might Duy was evenly converted into Aomi's various physical capabilities.
Though Aomi might not be able to use Night Guy like the Death Gate Duy, he possesses extremely balanced combat abilities in his normal state… At this moment, Aomi is quite eager to see if any of the punches he throws now can be taken by the Otsutsuki.
It's important to understand that even though Aomi was always renowned in the Ninja World as a versatile, Ninjutsu master and exceptional scientist, he never relaxed his physical training.
Since his debut, he had been continuously refining his body using Medical Ninjutsu combined with Lightning Release Chakra Mode...
And after training in Sage Mode, he enhanced his body using Natural Energy...
Chakra is always seen by the Otsutsuki as a tool for colonization. With the Rinnegan, the difference between ninjutsu and jokes was negligible.
To counter the Otsutsuki, the most straightforward way was Taijutsu!
The most primitive, rough, yet brutally effective fist...
This time, Might Duy's Death Gate not only enhanced Aomi's apparent combat power but also provided him with an extremely important trump card — the ability to open the Death Gate without suffering a backlash!
"Aomi… is this the power a mortal can explode with?"
Kaguya intensely stared at the half-crippled Isshiki, disbelief in her eyes.
Not even she, back in the day, managed to reduce him to such a pathetic state when by chance, she pierced Isshiki's heart with All-Killing Ash Bone.
Clearly.
Isshiki now was just a step away from death, like a flickering candle in the wind, not needing anyone to blow it out — it would extinguish itself.
"It has nothing to do with mortals or immortals; it's the outcome of the best talent paired with unmatched willpower..."
Aomi shook his head, looking at Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Izuna, who had fallen back into a standoff, and squinted his eyes.
Weren't they getting along just fine earlier?
Why is there suddenly a lack of unity!
If things continue like this, how can they come together as one, gather people's hearts in one place, and make Aomi the spokesperson for the Gaia Consciousness?
And at this moment,
The standoff between Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Izuna was interrupted again…
With the opening of a portal, three mighty Otsutsuki — Urashiki, Momoshiki, and Kinshiki — appeared on the battlefield!
As soon as they appeared,
Urashiki, holding a fishhook, precisely snagged Uchiha Obito.
While Momoshiki picked up the remaining half of Isshiki's head and threw it towards Urashiki, coldly saying: "Bring him back to life!"
Urashiki shrugged: "Understood, senior."
This absurd scene,
suddenly rendered the stage silent again.
Just as one wave calmed, another arose, each with its twists and turns…
How many more groups of people will it take to resolve everything? And will there be another Might Duy standing up to burn himself this time…
Who exactly are these fair-skinned creatures with horns?
"The Ninja World truly opens my eyes…you actually managed to defeat this man, it seems my previous designation of you as inferior creatures was somewhat incorrect…"
"Maybe it's more fitting to call you humans…"
Momoshiki stood before Aomi's sarcophagus, examining it with interest, speaking softly: "What exactly is inside here that makes Isshiki determined to obtain it, burning through vessels—is it the sinner Kaguya?"
"I don't know, senior, but I suppose it's something significantly valuable… Perhaps it's the Great Treasure or something?"
Urashiki chuckled, picking up Isshiki's skull, teasing: "Senior, the vessel you wanted is here, you better hide in there for a while…being defeated by mortals doesn't quite match your reputation…"
Urashiki acted again, freezing Obito, who was fitted with black rods and tried to resist, using peculiar jutsu.
With the freezing, Isshiki's Wedge Seal was also growing within Uchiha Obito's body…
And within Uchiha Obito,
Zetsu suddenly widened its eyes: "Finished, he's going to possess Obito!"
"Save him, Aomi! No, big brother, I beg you to save Obito!"
Zetsu frantically gazed at Aomi's sarcophagus, the once terrifying figure now being its only hope.
Only Aomi, only Aomi might save Obito and confront those Otsutsuki from who knows where!
Aomi silently shifted into the sarcophagus, softly speaking to Kaguya in the darkness: "Kaguya, are you ready to confront your clansmen?"
Kaguya cluelessly tilted her head: "Huh? Me?"
