Is this rational? It seems quite irrational...
On careful reflection, the history of the Ninja World for millennia is just as Aomi described, a constant cycle of reincarnation and repetition.
Senju Tobirama gradually gained a deeper understanding of Aomi.
This young man from the Uchiha Clan, he is the reincarnation of Uchiha Izuna's Chakra, and also the reincarnation of his own Chakra, yet he is still his own foundation.
Aomi may resemble Uchiha Izuna, may resemble him, but in the end, it's just resemblance; he remains his own person...
Neither Uchiha Izuna nor Senju Tobirama would ever let Kakuzu go, but would decisively kill him instead.
And those two would not, like Aomi, ponder the peace and falsehoods of the Ninja World through history...
"Aomi, you might be overthinking things..."
Senju Tobirama seemed to want to advise Aomi, but didn't know what to say at this moment.
Aomi shook his head with a helpless smile, "I know, I know... I was just wondering, if even this world is false, would there still be peace in the Ninja World?"
"Forget about it, Tobirama, I was just feeling emotional, I'll be more mindful next time."
"I still need to rely on your strength to counter Kakuzu, yet I'm absurdly discussing the reality and falsehood of the world..."
Absurd? Senju Tobirama didn't find it absurd.
But Aomi seemed unwilling to continue the topic, and smiled serenely, "Let's go, it's time to give them a surprise."
Senju Tobirama remained silent, at this moment, his thoughts began to spin...
Ninja World, is there really an invisible pair of hands?
Is this Aomi's baseless conspiracy theory, or is there an ounce of truth in history that hasn't been obscured?

"Tsunade-sensei, why are you back?"
Aomi slowly emerged from the ground, appearing beside Tsunade, and said with a smile, "Kakuzu left... I maneuvered with him for a long time, and finally hid away using Earth Release."
Hearing this familiar voice, Asuma looked up with tears in his eyes and instantly ran towards Aomi!
But even faster than him, was Tsunade.
Immersed in blood-red memories, as if awoken from a nightmare, Tsunade suddenly embraced Aomi with all her might as if afraid he would disappear if she let go.
Tears soaked Aomi's shoulders.
At the moment she thought Aomi had died, in Tsunade's mind, those deepest memories—scattered organs, split corpses, once again violently attacked her.
And Aomi's voice, like the sun, dispelled these horrific memories.
Aomi was like the end point of her unfortunate life!
Fate finally favored her for once!
Asuma stood there, dumbfounded, watching Tsunade; he initially wanted to run over and hug Aomi, but how could someone be faster than him?
It can only be said, Tsunade is indeed a Jonin, her speed is indeed faster than him, a Genin.
Asuma overlooked something, the Nohara Rin beside him seemed to have also moved her steps, but Tsunade outpaced them all!
"Tsunade-sensei, you're holding too tight..." Aomi patted Tsunade's shoulder, signaling her to loosen up a bit.
Tsunade belatedly loosened her grip, her eyes full of joy at regaining what she lost, yet she still keenly noticed Aomi's wound, swiftly and gently grasping his arm.
"Tsunade-sensei, there's blood..."
Aomi smiled apologetically, "I've used up a lot of Chakra, I'll take care of it myself later."
Tsunade took a deep breath and said determinedly, "No, let me do it, I'm your teacher, Konoha's strongest Medical Ninja."
Tsunade mustered up courage, stared directly at Aomi's scarred arm.
These were wounds left by Kakuzu's self-explosive attack, with some minor cuts, still seeping slight blood.
But fascinatingly enough.
The blood red on Aomi's arm, although causing Tsunade heart-wrenching pain, seemed to cover up the bloodshed that once made her tremble.
Her consciousness remained awake throughout.
"Tsunade-sensei, are you all right? Should I do it, Aomi taught me the Mystical Palm Jutsu, I've gotten familiar with it..." Nohara Rin softly approached Aomi's side and said quietly.
"No, let me..."
Tsunade, acclimatizing to the blood red, focused on treating Aomi's wound, green fluorescence flickering from her hands instantaneously.
"Tsunade-sensei, are you no longer afraid of blood?"
Aomi felt the tingling on his arm and said with a beaming smile, "I just knew, you'd definitely get better..."
Tsunade's heart quivered.
Really better now?
Perhaps, it was just subconsciously ignored.
Yet the heat in Aomi's palms seemed to provide Tsunade's heart with a mighty strength, gradually dispelling the last threads of past blood red from her heart.
The so-called Hemophobia is her subconscious linking blood and intense pain, an excessive protection measure generated by the body.
And Aomi's existence broke Tsunade's psychological self-suggestion, telling her that blood and her misfortunes aren't necessarily linked.
Senju Tobirama watched this scene with a gratified expression.
Aomi, indeed a remarkable inheritor of the Will of Fire, even managed to cure Tsunade's Hemophobia...
"Uchiha Izuna, I forgot to tell you..."
Senju Tobirama leisurely said, "It's not two against one, it's three against one, my granddaughter is Aomi's mentor."
"So, I advise you to wise up and get out of here quickly!"
No one paid attention to Tobirama, but Senju Tobirama shrugged his shoulders, displaying a victorious smile.
"Aomi, this is something my grandfather left me, I'm giving it to you as a protective charm..."
After carefully treating Aomi's wound, Tsunade took off a glowing green necklace and gently placed it on Aomi, "I gave it to someone most important to me once, I hope it brings you good luck..."
"Does this mean I am now Tsunade-sensei's most important person?" Aomi blinked and asked in a teasing tone.
"You're just a little brat who talks nonsense and loves to show off!"
Tsunade abruptly turned, her tone shifted back to that of a heroic female ninja, "Return to the village and have a good rest!"
[From the objective Tsunade: You have acquired the Senju Uzumaki Hybrid Bloodline!]
Listening to Tsunade's words, Senju Tobirama was stunned.
As one of the people most familiar with Tsunade, he seemed to hear a hint of guilty conscience in her words?
"Little Tsunade really, just treating Aomi like a younger brother, there's nothing to not admit..."
Senju Tobirama shook his head, no longer pondering about Tsunade, focused on contemplating Aomi's concerns about the hidden hands in the Ninja World.
As a researcher, Senju Tobirama doesn't believe in coincidences, much less that the repetitive millennial history of the Ninja World is a coincidence within coincidences!
