Not to mention Sarutobi Hiruzen being unable to see through it, even if Senju Tobirama of this space-time himself were to descend, his mind would buzz...
This is the unparalleled bond once shared between brother, number one, and Aomi!
After the Anbu withdrew from the room, Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly turned around, his gaze extremely complex as he eyed Naruto and tentatively said, "Is it... is it you?"
Naruto's lips curled into a Second's exclusive arc, and he said softly, "What do you think? Monkey..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and quickly formed hand seals. Using perception ninjutsu while Anbu were under strict defense, he reconfirmed there was no one too close before incredulously asking:
"How could it be you! How could you... be inside Naruto, no, how could you become Naruto? What happened to you!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was at a loss for words.
He couldn't quite imagine how the names Naruto and Senju Tobirama, separated by four generations, could merge together...
The hidden story within must be extremely terrifying... and certainly not in line with the Will of Fire!
"I initially didn't plan to possess Naruto..."
Naruto chuckled softly and said, "It was to guard against the Uchiha Clan... Monkey, you know, the Uchiha Clan is one that gains immensely powerful strength between obtaining and losing love."
"Among them, the Mangekyo Sharingan they catalyze has various dojutsu... Though some may produce dojutsu like Uchiha Izuna's Amaterasu which are not worth mentioning, others may catalyze extremely troublesome dojutsu, like genjutsu or space-time types..."
"Such an Uchiha, if they have some talent and obtain a method to infinitely use dojutsu like an Eternal Eye, can your Hokage team with Shimura Danzo manage it?"
Naruto's gaze gradually sharpened as he stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
And at that moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately broke into a cold sweat.
Not to mention a space-time type pseudo-Eternal Eye.
Even Shisui, Itachi, and Fugaku, among ninjas not ranked high in the history of the Uchiha Clan, gave Sarutobi Hiruzen considerable pressure, only able to rely on the Will of Fire as extraneous means for surgical self-severance, unable to control the power of this clan...
If not for Uchiha Itachi and Shisui's muddled thinking, them sitting on the Hokage faction's side...
If they leaned towards the hawk faction and brazenly launched an attack, it's hard to say if the Uchiha rebellion would succeed...
"So, I invented a Kinjutsu, in an unobservable soul form, constantly watching Konoha..."
Naruto gently tapped the table, speaking slowly in the manner of the Second Hokage, "Until the relationship between the Uchiha and the village developed to now, I thought I needed to appear."
"And these Uchiha, in my view, aren't ones worthwhile for me to possess... They're too weak, unable to carry my strength, thus unable to become a beneficial weapon to protect Konoha."
"But this Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is quite suitable."
"Do you understand what I'm saying? Monkey..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen listened to Naruto's explanation, mouth unconsciously agape, mind like a tangled mess.
Possessing Naruto as a weapon?
Master, I thought by treating Naruto like this, I'd be crossing a moral line enough...
Hadn't expected, you're still ahead of me!
Aomi smiled, watching Sarutobi Hiruzen...
He believed the alternate space-time Hiruzen would deeply trust his own rhetoric...
As for why, because that is what alternate space-time Sarutobi Hiruzen misunderstood in Senju Tobirama!
They're all Hiruzen, is there really any difference?
