Before Aomi went to the Otherworld.
He used the Shadow Clone Jutsu to place surveillance across various regions of the Ninja World. Although there weren't many, Aomi's perception ability was enough to cover most areas...
It was essentially a manual Zetsu network.
Compared to Zetsu, Aomi could sense higher-level fluctuations like dojutsu and spatial waves that the low-intelligence creations of the Divine Tree couldn't perceive...
Thus, significant and trivial matters in the Ninja World were almost entirely under Aomi's control.
"Asura and Indra have been revived, and the Six Paths Sage is teaching the masses of Ninja World immortal techniques through the Three Holy Lands? This is a good thing. Everyone, make sure to become stronger..."
Aomi nodded slightly, acknowledging the current work of the Six Paths Sage.
Finally, under Aomi's pressure, the old immortal decided to distribute power instead of dreaming of peace through mutual understanding...
The special talent that evolved from the final confrontation with the (Konoha masses) to the final confrontation with the (Ninja World masses) made Aomi pleased to see the Six Paths Sage enhancing everyone's strength...
After all, their hard work would allow Aomi to escape more quickly from his identity and power as a member of the Otsutsuki Clan...
Aomi sensed carefully again and confirmed there wasn't any abnormal Chakra in the Ninja World or beyond. With a thought, he connected with the Chakra inside the symbiotic body of Isshiki and Obito...
"Confirmation received. The Otsutsuki Clan's reinforcements haven't arrived yet and are still responding..." Aomi relaxed a bit, then sensed the Chakra within Momoshiki and Urashiki, eavesdropping on their thoughts.
Although Aomi injected Chakra into these three Otsutsuki during battle...
Otsutsuki being Otsutsuki, even though Aomi injected his Chakra into them, he couldn't control them like puppets. Instead, he had to settle for lurking within them, stealing their real-time thoughts.
After all, in terms of life level, although Aomi was superior to these Otsutsuki members, it was not yet a significant separation in the hierarchy...
Otherwise, Aomi would attempt to manipulate Isshiki to delay the arrival of Otsutsuki reinforcements, giving himself more preparation time.
Currently, the situation is such that although Aomi could gain advance intelligence about the Otsutsuki reinforcements by not clearing Isshiki, Urashiki, and Momoshiki for now, there's no major issue in the short term.
"So that's how it is... It makes sense, the Otsutsuki Clan, in calculating the time for planting a Divine Tree, takes thousands of years, and has to navigate through the cosmos..."
"Even in urgent situations, the time to relay intelligence, acceptance, processing, and finally selecting personnel to reach the Ninja World at the fastest speed requires a basic amount of time."
Aomi's lips curved slightly: "According to Isshiki's estimation, using Ninja World time, it would take at least about three years. This is even after he expedited the report about Shibai's body possibly being in the Ninja World..."
Three years sounds lengthy.
But for the Otsutsuki, if reinforcements arrive within three years, it's already an efficiently maximized result...
And for Aomi, three years is more than sufficient.
There aren't many things of value left in this Ninja World for him.
The Pure Land of the Six Paths Sage, the final confrontation concerning Kaguya and the masses of the Ninja World, the nine Tailed Beasts, and the challenging selection by Gaia Consciousness, along with Otsutsuki Shibai's body left in the Ninja World...
If all these are dealt with, the Ninja World will have been thoroughly drained by Aomi, with nothing left to offer.
"The easiest to handle right now is the final confrontation with Kaguya... After all, Black Zetsu can quickly breach her psychological defenses..."
Aomi silently and discreetly watched Kaguya inside him.
Aomi had not paid heed to Kaguya for a long time.
After Kaguya said she could prove the existence of loyalty in the human heart and planned to use Black Zetsu as an example, Aomi went to the Otherworld, using his Rinnegan Dojutsu to draw power from other dimensions...
Under this cold violence, Kaguya had grown used to chatting and learning from Aomi, and once again returned to the dark and lonely days inside the Chibaku Tensei.
It's still manageable if she's always sealed...
But having seen the light, Kaguya cannot bear the darkness again, not to mention her inner suffering.
Who's to blame but her for deceiving and betraying Aomi?
In Aomi's silence, even Kaguya herself thought Aomi ought to ignore her...
After all, Aomi was sincere from the start, while Kaguya mixed lies into their relationship, embedding a bomb in its foundation.
Enveloped by anxiety, worry, self-blame, and other negative emotions, while hoping Black Zetsu could prove the existence of true feelings to Aomi, it was like grasping at straws for survival...
This complex state made Kaguya's spirit increasingly fragile.
Thus, the soul imprint of Aomi became deeper within her soul...
This was a special talent ability.
"Greedy Snake Soul": When you actively inhabit others, or your body harbors souls, spirits, or Chakra-like existences, you slowly extract power from the target, and based on the duration of possession and the target's mental state, there is a chance to engrave a soul imprint.
The so-called soul imprint is different from the Chakra Aomi injected into Urashiki, Momoshiki, and Isshiki.
Chakra for the Otsutsuki, even with Aomi's ability, could only accomplish eavesdropping...
