Kaguya spoke anxiously.
On her beautiful face, there was a deep-seated urgency...
Aomi is taking such a huge risk to confront the will of the God of Otsutsuki, in order to help her seize that power?
This really won't do!
"Aomi... You know me! No matter how strong the power is, I can't wield it effectively... If we truly need to target the remains of the God of Otsutsuki, let me take the risk!"
Kaguya's brows knitted tightly as she whispered, "Aomi, what should I do? Rest assured, this time I will seriously strive for the best!"
"Because this is for you..."
Aomi and Kaguya's sincere gazes collided, stirring their hearts.
This woman is really easy to deceive.
Compared to Senju Tobirama, Aomi spent years, meticulously crafting various plots and personas to deceive that old man into it...
Kaguya was won over with simple tenderness.
"No, Kaguya."
Aomi sighed softly, feeling quite moved, and slowly but firmly shook his head.
"Between you and me, due to a relationship akin to a Jinchuriki, during several instances of genetic purification and elevation, a wondrous connection was formed."
Aomi reached out towards Kaguya, and in the palm of his hand, a name glowed brightly.
—— It was Kaguya's name.
This name was engraved in the palm of Aomi's hand, the lettering delicate and smooth, emitting a crystalline white light...
"Look, your name."
Kaguya was momentarily stunned, her face gradually flushed, and her eyes glistened as they settled on the white letters in Aomi's palm...
A sense of satisfaction named possessiveness enveloped her heart instantaneously.
Alongside joy, sweetness, and that crazy yearning to sacrifice for love...
"Aomi, you..." Kaguya promptly gripped Aomi's hand, constantly caressing the palm:
"This is... What is this?"
Aomi chuckled softly.
What is this? It's nothing at all... Merely a line of text transformed by Yin Release Chakra, easily wiped away.
"I named it Soul Engraving..."
Aomi spoke slowly: "With this engraving, our souls are bound together, allowing us to transfer power and protect each other's souls."
"When you are revived, if I ever encounter a formidable enemy and perish, as long as you are still alive, you can use this engraving to revive me..."
"Likewise, as long as I still exist, you will never die."
In Kaguya's eyes, the joy over Soul Engraving grew even more intense.
This is such a powerful Jutsu!
Aomi actually took the initiative to bind himself with her... This is an expression of love!
In other words, even during that period when Aomi had a falling-out with her, he was actually thinking of her all along, secretly giving her such a wonderful buff...
In Kaguya's view.
Compared to her, Aomi is far stronger, so what benefit does this soul-binding offer him?
Does he need Kaguya to fight on his behalf or require her trifling powers?
Clearly not.
The wise Kaguya didn't believe this was a natural phenomenon arising from her dwelling within Aomi, evolving along the way...
Kaguya could instantly see that this was entirely because Aomi worried she wasn't strong enough, and after her revival might face unexpected danger, out of strong love created such a Jutsu.
Simply to share his power with her!
Too much love, truly too much love...
Kaguya's assumptions, in fact, aligned logically and weren't incorrect.
But the issue is, this engraving is actually unidirectional with the initiative always in Aomi's hands...
"Aomi, there's no need to be embarrassed, I understand..."
Kaguya forcibly restrained her crazily curling lips, trying to maintain the modesty of her lady-like demeanor, smiling warmly at Aomi who seemed ready to speak but held back:
"No need to explain further, I really like this Soul Engraving..."
Aomi blinked.
What do you understand? However, Aomi wasn't concerned... As long as Kaguya liked it, that's good enough.
After all, his so-called engraving can be erased with a swipe, while Kaguya's engraving is indelible...
"By the way, I'd also like for your name to be somewhere on my body..."
Kaguya's face gradually blushed as she softly spoke to Aomi: "Where do you think would be good?"
"Actually, it already exists, you just didn't know it." Aomi smiled: "I've hidden it, when the time comes we'll look at it together..."
Kaguya cast a sidelong glance at Aomi, wasn't she aware of her own body?
Yet, for some reason, Kaguya felt a faint heat in her lower abdomen...
"Alright, Kaguya, let's discuss serious matters next."
Aomi cleared his throat, observing the inexplicably flushed Kaguya, he spoke in a heavy tone: "The reason I'm daring to touch the power left by the God of Otsutsuki is precisely because of this engraving..."
"With our souls intertwined, then suppose the remaining consciousness within the shell of the God of Otsutsuki attempts to seize my body, you can also control my body to transfer Chakra into yours..."
"In that way, his consciousness has no suitable vessel and cannot be reborn."
"And as an Otsutsuki, when the consciousness revives, that's also when reincarnation starts... If no vessel is found, the consciousness enters the countdown to demise."
Kaguya nodded solemnly.
Though she wished to continue cozying up to Aomi, ultimately being an Otsutsuki, she's not purely driven by romance... Clearly, her man is discussing a colossal matter!
