After being controlled by Urashiki's time-freezing Black Box, having his chakra locked by the Red Light Fish Hook Lock, and having Otsutsuki Isshiki's Wedge injected into his body...
Uchiha Obito's consciousness was in a state of chaos.
He could think vaguely but had no idea where he was...
And in this chaos, his last bit of consciousness was gradually wearing away, seemingly about to plunge into endless darkness...
At this moment.
The most familiar chakra to Uchiha Obito, like a shining sun, illuminated his powerless spirit and soul!
It was Aomi's chakra!
"Are you alright, Obito..."
In Uchiha Obito's mental world, the chakra that had entered transformed into Aomi's figure, gently inquiring as usual, but with a hint of worry and rare seriousness in his expression:
"Don't fall asleep! If you fall asleep now, it'll be troublesome!"
Uchiha Obito looked at that long-unseen figure, and his heart started pounding!
Indeed, it had been a long time since he last met Aomi...
The last time the two chatted was before the Third Ninja World War began...
In the blink of an eye, things had changed.
But one thing remained constant: whenever faced with insurmountable difficulties, it was always Aomi who extended a helping hand...
"Aomi, are you alright?"
In his excitement, Uchiha Obito worriedly looked at Aomi without first explaining his predicament but instead asked with genuine concern.
"I've been thinking about saving you all the time, but... it's my fault, it's all my fault that I'm too weak! Those creatures, I don't know where they came from!"
"Aomi, be careful! They are very strong, and their jutsu can't even be resisted by my Mangekyo. Their attack methods are unpredictable, probably space-based jutsus!"
After regaining a normal thought process, Uchiha Obito racked his brains to provide Aomi with some useful information.
Yet, with his mental capacity, it was evident that he couldn't analyze Isshiki's dojutsu and Urashiki's treasure tools in the short term, nor could he figure out how to resist being invaded by Otsutsuki as a vessel...
When Uchiha Obito, with his Mangekyo anxiously observing Aomi, his face flush and struggling to say something...
Uchiha Obito's breath came to a halt!
In his Sharingan, Uchiha Obito saw Isshiki's chakra inside Aomi!
And there were multiple Otsutsuki chakras that, though similar to Isshiki's, were distinctly otherworldly compared to ordinary beings of the Ninja World!
Uchiha Obito's mind buzzed.
Right!
He wasn't the first ninja to be possessed by an Otsutsuki; Aomi, who had sealed the Six Paths Sage with his body, ultimately shared the same fate as Uchiha Obito!
Only, Aomi did it voluntarily, while Uchiha Obito was passive.
"Aomi, your situation is very dangerous now, you need to be careful!" Uchiha Obito said hurriedly, but just as he began speaking, Aomi gestured for silence.
"Obito, my time is limited..."
Aomi said gravely in succinct words, "I am currently fighting Momoshiki, Urashiki, and Kaguya simultaneously... Like Isshiki, who possessed you, they are extraterrestrial beings, and I have no guaranteed victory."
"Seize the time, try to expel Isshiki from your body. I can still help fend off his invasion for a while..."
And at this moment.
The aura of Kaguya emanating from the chakra-form Aomi grew increasingly intense...
Having regained part of his perception ability, Uchiha Obito, while unable to detect clear external scenes, could sense the sudden surge in chakra from Urashiki and Momoshiki due to their transformations...
"Undoubtedly, Aomi is outside battling those beings, all while resisting the erosion of the Six Paths Sage!"
Uchiha Obito clenched his fists, his heart filled with unwillingness.
Originally, he should have been the one to resolve things for Aomi, helping Aomi escape the plots of the Six Paths Sage, Uchiha Madara, and Senju Tobirama!
The two brothers joining forces, invincible in the world, bringing peace to the Ninja World...
"Since I opened my eyes, I've been indebted to Aomi... Even now that I have the Mangekyo given by Rin, a power surpassing ordinary Mangekyo Sharingan, I still need Aomi's care..."
Uchiha Obito thought in agony.
Then Aomi stepped forward, grasped his shoulder, and forced Uchiha Obito, who was wallowing in pain, to look at him as he sternly commanded with unprecedented seriousness and determination:
"Obito, don't come to help me... Your power is still far too inadequate against these Otsutsuki..."
"I am here to save you, not for you to assist me! Your only task is to use the chakra I sent to hurry and expel Isshiki, then use Kamui to escape, preserving a fire for the Ninja World!"
Uchiha Obito listened painfully to Aomi's words, shaking his head repeatedly.
He absolutely did not want to be the one to run away!
If Aomi were to be possessed by Otsutsuki, losing himself while trying to save him, even if he spends the rest of his days with Rin, Uchiha Obito would find himself tormented in the hell of his heart!
The kind that would never find redemption...
Uchiha Obito wanted to say more, but Aomi's figure dissipated in an instant.
He transformed into streams of chakra entering Uchiha Obito's body...
And with the chakra's entry, Aomi's voice echoed in Uchiha Obito's mind: "Obito, I don't know if my chakra is enough to ensure you can expel Isshiki..."
