Chapter 555 - Chapter 177: Kaguya Exits, Tobirama in Peril, Aomi Takes the Lead! (Part 2)

Aomi's current stance is undoubtedly the spitting image of a rampaging Jinchuriki!

The so-called "Six Paths Sage Kaguya" is actually the Tailed Beast inside Aomi.

However, Aomi, this Jinchuriki, hasn't been able to control the monster inside, exhibiting a state similar to a Jinchuriki's rampage—complete Tailed Beast Transformation!

"Oh no… These monsters seem to be of the same clan as the Six Paths Sage inside Aomi, and they're here to hunt her down!"

Senju Tobirama swiftly analyzed, "This Six Paths Sage's combat skills are unbelievably poor, possessing a full set of techniques but unable to utilize them. It's like a Genin controlling a Kage Level body..."

"What should we do now?"

Uchiha Izuna took a deep breath, his gaze profound: "Senju Tobirama... As much as I hate to admit it, the strongest state of a Jinchuriki is nothing more than the fully transformed Tailed Beast state..."

"As for the perfect Jinchuriki, that would require this bitch of a Six Paths Sage to be completely in sync with Aomi, which seems impossible..."

"Objectively speaking, Aomi's strongest state is exactly what it is now... And when a Jinchuriki, even in complete Tailed Beast Transformation, cannot defeat the enemy, this battle is as good as over..."

Uchiha Izuna painfully glanced at Uchiha Madara, then at Senju Hashirama.

The implication was obvious...

Aomi was just like a captured Tailed Beast, while Urashiki and Momoshiki were akin to the god of the Ninja World who once captured all Tailed Beasts...

Struggling was futile.

These enemies, which surpassed the understanding of the Ninja World and appeared suddenly, were now stuck in the timeline right after Might Duy's last stand, leaving all capable ninjas heavily injured...

It was a massive ambush!

"No, it's not over yet!" Senju Tobirama said gravely:

"Uchiha Izuna, I've signed a Summoning Contract on the Power of Space-Time from the Dragon Vein, converting it into a form similar to Tandem Paper Bomb..."

"Originally intended to deal with the Six Paths Sage... I want to banish her to the Otherworld and rescue Aomi! If we can find the right moment to send those two battle-ready Otsutsuki away, leaving only Aomi..."

"Then there's hope!"

Uchiha Izuna stared in shock at Senju Tobirama, lowering his voice: "You bastard! Playing with the souls of the dead is one thing, but you even dare to tamper with time? You're playing a dangerous game!"

Yet, Uchiha Izuna's pair of dim Mangekyo began to brighten.

He pondered for a moment and realized there was indeed potential!

Even though Isshiki had taken over Uchiha Obito, he was struggling to even release his Black Rod, and after being kicked out of shape by Night Guy, he clearly had no combat capability left...

As long as Momoshiki and Urashiki could be sent away!

Then the remaining Kaguya, with combat intelligence nearing zero, seemed to be the most hopeful Otsutsuki to defeat!

"Now isn't the time to criticize my Ninjutsu ethics!"

Senju Tobirama's veins bulged: "You understand what I mean, right? Opportunities are fleeting, cooperate with me!"

Uchiha Izuna nodded: "I know!"

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Kaguya, who had been sent flying with punches and kicks, stood up from within the earth, still dizzy.

Compared to being beaten, Kaguya was more confused about how she should explain her deception to Aomi...

In Kaguya's heart, her only reliance was Aomi.

Without Aomi, how could Kaguya have the confidence to battle Urashiki and Momoshiki?

The confidence she had just gained was shattered within a round by cold reality...

She still couldn't fight; suppressing Momoshiki and Urashiki earlier was only because of Aomi's guidance, not her own understanding.

And what's more fatal, if Aomi distanced himself due to this incident, that would be the most terrifying thing of all!

"Deception, deception implies betrayal... How can this be explained? It simply can't be..."

Kaguya scrambled for countermeasures in her mind, but the more she thought, the more panicked she became. Aomi had remained silent since handing over his body to her; even upon hearing Isshiki's words, he didn't say a word.

This silence was like a cold and sharp blade, cutting through Kaguya's heart without a sound.

The thing Kaguya despised most was betrayal, having suffered a millennium of torment due to her sons' betrayal.

She couldn't bring herself to make Aomi forgive her betrayal of him...

Therefore, Kaguya didn't even dare to ask Aomi now, maintaining this fearsome and awkward silence.

She feared that speaking up would expose everything, subsequently watching Aomi's warm, sun-like smile vanish, replaced by a look of extreme disgust.

After all, how could one show any goodwill towards a traitor?

Aomi watched this scene, smiling inwardly.

To Aomi, the beating wasn't severe enough... Without a vicious beatdown, how else would Kaguya realize how weak she was and that he was her only support?

Gentleness alone wasn't sufficient.

Outside severity was required to impart Kaguya with the harshest lesson of all.

This was also why Aomi temporarily revealed Kaguya's nature; he didn't want his own body to take the hits needlessly. This kind of task was better suited for Kaguya herself...

Moreover, after Might Duy's sacrificial burn gave Aomi's body a terrifying boost...

If Kaguya took over Aomi's account, Aomi worried that due to his overwhelming hardware strength, Kaguya, a total novice, might still manage to brute force her way to an advantage.
