Seizing the power left by the so-called divine existence within the family...
It's a grandiose deal, far more valuable than a Chakra Fruit born from an entire planet!
This is not the time for romance and tender moments...
"Aomi... I must say, I agree with your line of thinking..." Kaguya nodded slowly, speaking softly:
"But there's one thing."
"Even if no host is found, the Wedge will still allow the Otsutsuki to survive for a while... which means, even if the God of Otsutsuki cannot possess a body, if his consciousness lingers, he can still fight..."
"We must consider this point, as after all, it is a divine being..."
Kaguya glanced at Aomi's reassuring expression, letting out a sigh of relief, adding softly: "Aomi... I'm not questioning your plan, I just want to consider it more comprehensively."
"You're absolutely right, Kaguya..."
Aomi said softly: "Therefore, I have developed a jutsu to address this phenomenon... actually, I learned it from the Nine-tails in the otherworld..."
"This little fox possesses a talent for developing Ninjutsu... I'm able to read its thoughts, and after providing it with abundant Ninjutsu resources, the Nine-tails came up with a jutsu prototype that amazed me."
Kaguya listened carefully, albeit with some confusion.
It was just a Tailed Beast, could the jutsu it researched really assist Aomi?
Let alone challenge the God of Otsutsuki.
"The Nine-tails named this jutsu Baryon Mode... its principle is to split the Chakra, generating a force similar to radiation,"
Aomi said softly: "You can think of it as a special kind of the Eight Gates... ultimately it burns one's life, but what's unique about this jutsu is that it can rapidly erode the enemy's life!"
"If I were to release it, I am confident I could radiate a reincarnated Otsutsuki to the brink of death in an instant..."
"So, my plan is this—"
"I will prepare my body in advance, entering the burning state of Baryon Mode before seizing the God of Otsutsuki's power, setting a trap for the residual consciousness of the God of Otsutsuki."
"Meanwhile, you will protect my power and soul within yourself, to prevent the God of Otsutsuki's consciousness from possessing me and forcibly interrupting Baryon Mode..."
Aomi said slowly: "In this way, my body seems like a beautiful vessel, but in reality, it is a furnace designed to annihilate the God of Otsutsuki's consciousness!"
"When his consciousness perishes, you will seize the opportunity to absorb his power, and finally use Soul Engraving to resurrect me..."
Kaguya listened to Aomi's plan as if hearing a heavenly book.
This man had truly thought of everything... he genuinely wanted to slay a god! Not only confronting the Otsutsuki Clan but also aiming to refine the very divinity in one go!
"No, no, Aomi, this is still too risky..."
After a moment of imagination, Kaguya painfully closed her eyes: "I'm scared, Aomi... I know you've thought it all through, but when I think about facing the enemy with my family, while also bearing your life..."
"I'm terrified of making a mistake."
"You know me, Aomi... I'm really not confident, even though you've taught me so much, I can still be swayed by a word or two from Isshiki... I'm too worried about losing you due to my mistakes!"
Aomi listened silently to Kaguya's self-talk, but inwardly he smiled.
This mindset indicated that his position in Kaguya's heart was exceedingly high.
Just like some doctors are unwilling to operate on their loved ones, not because of incompetence, but due to the pressure being too great, making calmness difficult, leaving the task to a trusted colleague.
Kaguya took a deep breath, gazing determinedly at Aomi:
"I trust you, Aomi... let me learn that Baryon Mode! My man will never lose to the God of Otsutsuki..."
"With you here, even if I turn my body into a blaze, I trust you can resurrect me from the ashes..."
But Aomi shook his head resolutely.
"Don't even think about it, Kaguya... I can't watch my woman become a tool for me to seize power... even if there are reasons, I absolutely won't do such a thing."
"I'll do it, Kaguya, I believe in you!"
Kaguya appreciatively listened to Aomi's rejection, yet she became more resolute: "No, Aomi, it's really different! You've already considered so much for me, it's my lack of resolve..."
"I truly want to do it, Aomi!"
But the more resolute Kaguya's refusal, the more Aomi remained the same.
No matter what Kaguya said, or how she argued that it wasn't sacrificing her, Aomi maintained a stance of not listening no matter what.
Kaguya's heart grew ever sweeter; any other man, facing the temptation of the God of Otsutsuki, might have made a token refusal, but to genuinely refuse a voluntarily offered filter?
Absolutely impossible!
But she also grew even more anxious.
Her love for Aomi was so deep, and she loved Aomi so deeply that when she thought about personally tackling matters of life and death, their fates entwined, while opposing the God of Otsutsuki...
She felt her mind go blank, even her hands trembled involuntarily due to her thoughts becoming overwhelmed.
"Alright, trust me, Kaguya."
Aomi helplessly patted Kaguya's head, speaking gently: "While Baryon Mode is a jutsu developed by the Nine-tails, it requires extremely high control over Chakra..."
"In a short time, you can't learn it."
Aomi tapped Kaguya's forehead: "Someone as foolish as you, without my teaching, it's very hard to learn..."
"Then teach me! I'll definitely learn it this time!" Kaguya pouted, her cheeks puffed like buns, glaring at Aomi:
"This is for you, how could it be the same!"
Aomi shrugged: "I won't teach it, so..."
"If you won't teach, then I won't agree!" Kaguya turned her head, waiting for Aomi to give in.
But this time, Aomi said nothing further, only shaking his head slowly but firmly, indicating he would not yield on such a principled issue.
At this moment, Kaguya experienced what it meant to be happily troubled...
She believed in Aomi completely, thereby being willing to take risks... but because he loved her, he wouldn't let her take risks...
If Aomi didn't love her so much, she wouldn't consider being the filter voluntarily, either.
This logical loop ended up in a stalemate here.
Silence enveloped the scene.
Kaguya, her heart stirring, suddenly thought of Soul Engraving, her eyes wandering as she sensed the connection between them, quietly searching through Aomi's memory with Baryon Mode as the keyword...
Fortunately, after encountering a few thoughts of Aomi's love for her, Kaguya quickly found Aomi's analysis of Baryon Mode without much effort...
"I can't look anymore! Secretly viewing Aomi's memories is already improper!" Kaguya forcefully suppressed her desire to wander in Aomi's memories, quickly exiting the connection.
Aomi smiled warmly.
These were all the thoughts he wanted Kaguya to see... the real memories, how could she view them? After all, the so-called Soul Engraving was one-sided from the start.
In Aomi's eyes, Kaguya secretly learning Baryon Mode was akin to Obito sneakily mastering the Life Force Kinjutsu to resurrect Zetsu...
It was adorably silly.
"Alright, Aomi, let's not talk about these unpleasant things for now! Should we go take a look at that shell? Perhaps it isn't as formidable as we think..."
Kaguya, grinning like a cat having found the cream, nudged Aomi's sturdy chest playfully: "Maybe you don't even need that guy's power, and you can defeat the Otsutsuki reinforcements!"
Aomi, helpless, glanced at Kaguya, lightly tapping her head: "You really are carefree..."
Kaguya playfully stuck out her tongue: "Well, we should think positively about things..."
Kaguya just wanted to delay things as long as possible, buying time until she mastered Baryon Mode, to give Aomi a big surprise then!
"The planetary consciousness and the God of Otsutsuki, there's already a plan for one of them..." Aomi pondered inwardly, so how to deal with the other one?
The only person with a Soul Engraving with Aomi seemed to be someone else.
Coincidentally, it was Senju Tobirama, the indigenous of the Ninja World, closely bonded with Aomi, and the first generation Jinchuriki!
"Tobirama, it's time to meet again..." Aomi sighed softly in his heart:
"I need your help..."
