"What's up, Tobirama..."
Aomi had a vague inkling, but still spoke in a puzzled tone: "You wouldn't really have me use your power to fight her, would you?"
"Not to mention she's an old lady, whether or not I can beat her, what's up with you as a brother-in-law?"
"Kid, calm down!"
"Huh? As I expected, I can't beat her, hehe..."
Aomi raised an eyebrow and blew a comical whistle.
"Who told you that! Although sister-in-law's perception ninjutsu and Adamantine Sealing Chains are indeed difficult to deal with, and her chakra is astonishingly large, if I unleash my Flying Thunder God Jutsu and Kinjutsu with full force, there's still a chance!"
Senju Tobirama stubbornly said: "As for the Nine-tails, Nine-tails... hmm, I definitely won't lose, I have the Flying Thunder God Jutsu!"
Aomi clicked his tongue.
Senju Tobirama suddenly realized something and rolled his eyes in exasperation...
This kid not only started spouting nonsense again, but even his wise and calm mind was led astray, starting to argue with Aomi about who was stronger between him and Uzumaki Mito...
Actually, Tobirama had always thought these kinds of arguments were childish, which adult would debate such things!
But exchanging a few words with Aomi somehow felt quite entertaining?
"Aomi, this is a serious matter, concerning your future development in Konoha!"
Adjusting his peculiar mood, Senju Tobirama earnestly said:
"I know what sister-in-law intends to do... Her perception ability combined with the power of the Nine-tails can identify the good and evil in a person's heart, and can analyze emotions, even character, from their chakra!"
Aomi listened seriously and silently, no longer joking around.
Tobirama was referring to the "Kagura Heart Eye", perhaps the strongest perception ninjutsu in the Ninja World, a signature kekkeigenkai of the Uzumaki Clan.
And Uzumaki Mito could even utilize the Nine-tails' ability to perceive good and evil!
Even Karin could sense darkness and weight from chakra...
With Uzumaki Mito's strength combined with the Nine-tails, she might almost be able to eavesdrop on people's thoughts?
"During my time in office, I asked sister-in-law to use this ability to vet potential high-level successors, screen out questionable ninjas, and regularly sweep for spies in the village..."
Tobirama explained skillfully, very familiar with Uzumaki Mito's abilities.
This ability was put to use in every possible area in Konoha back then.
"Tobirama, you're using ninjutsu to check people's hearts? Doesn't the Will of Fire say to trust your comrades..."
Aomi seemed to find a flaw, surprised: "Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, and them, did you already have Uzumaki Mito test them..."
"So, was the Hokage successor already predetermined?"
To Aomi's surprise, Tobirama didn't deny it, but straightforwardly admitted: "You're right, Aomi, not just the monkeys, I even asked sister-in-law to check the Anbu ninjas."
"Kid, the Will of Fire is just something in textbooks, any means can be used as long as it's necessary for the smooth operation of the village."
"Remember, Aomi, this is also part of the Will of Fire..."
Senju Tobirama's instructive tone made Aomi feel a bit unnatural.
What's going on here?
Aomi had a strange sense of déjà vu, as if Senju Tobirama was like an old emperor from feudal times, teaching him, the crown prince, the Emperor's Heart Jutsu...
Senju Tobirama cleared his throat, finally getting to the point: "Anyway, you get it, right, sister-in-law will definitely perceive you..."
Aomi blinked, at this moment, he finally understood what Tobirama was worried about!
Old man, you don't really think I have Uchiha Izuna's chakra, do you?
Though I'd quite like it, I honestly don't have that, Aomi!
Tobirama, if you miss him so much, why don't you find a way to send it my way, I'll gladly accept it...
But even though Aomi understood, he still frowned, expressing rejection: "So what? I, Uchiha Aomi, act openly and honestly, there's nothing I can't show!"
"Does Uzumaki Mito discriminate against Uchiha bloodline?"
Senju Tobirama's face froze, not knowing what to say to Aomi for a moment...
Sister-in-law's perception ability was incredibly strong...
Though Aomi was indeed a good kid, sister-in-law didn't know that!
If she perceived Uchiha Izuna's filthy and tainted chakra, wouldn't Aomi be finished?
When Tobirama was in office, he had to consult Uzumaki Mito on major matters.
And now, in the era of Sarutobi Hiruzen as Hokage, if Uzumaki Mito decided that Aomi was a problematic Uchiha...
No matter how fervent and pure Aomi's Will of Fire was, it would have no platform to shine!
If they say you can't do it, then you really can't, no matter if you actually can! The weight of the Grand Empress Dowager of Konoha was just that substantial...
"In any case, it's for your own good, all of this is for the Will of Fire, you get it!"
Senju Tobirama unreasonably waved his hand: "As I said, don't reject the Hokage's power, or you'll lose the Will of Fire!"
Rather than letting Aomi know that inside him, besides himself, there was also Uchiha Izuna's chakra...
Senju Tobirama skillfully invoked the Will of Fire again!
Hearing this, Aomi suppressed the laughter in his heart, reluctantly said: "Alright, alright, you're the Hokage, I'll follow your orders as a poor Konoha Genin, whatever you say goes..."
"That's right, kid, this old man won't harm you!" Tobirama chuckled proudly, quite satisfied with Aomi's response.
This person, really, is quite strange!
Aomi still clearly remembers, back when Senju Tobirama discovered he could bear his power, he specially found a time to talk with him, looking fierce and vigilant.
But now, here it is, even if I don't want it, it's being forced on me, even using the Will of Fire to deliver it...
At this moment.
Senju Tobirama's power once again surged into Aomi's body, and under the careful control of this Kinjutsu Master, his power spread to every corner of Aomi, ensuring that from every angle, it could counter Uzumaki Mito's perception ninjutsu.
Senju Tobirama's power was like armor, tightly encasing Aomi's body. If there was indeed Uchiha Izuna's chakra inside Aomi, even Uzumaki Mito wouldn't be able to sense it...
It's just that, no matter how strong Uzumaki Mito's perception abilities are, how could she think her opponent is her own little brother-in-law?
The affairs of the Ninja World are sometimes just so unpredictable.
"We're here, Aomi, don't be nervous!"
Tsunade let go of Aomi's hand, smiling as she said:
"Don't be nervous, Grandma Mito is a very nice person. Even though the old man in there and Shimura Danzo and all those people are around, no one dares to pick on you in front of Grandma Mito..."
Along the way, because Aomi was talking with Tobirama, his pace was somewhat slow.
Tsunade directly grabbed Aomi's hand and started running.
However, no one paid attention to this.
Aomi didn't mind, Tsunade didn't mind, and even Senju Tobirama couldn't be bothered to care.
This Kinjutsu Master seemed to find it very interesting to confront Uzumaki Mito once, enthusiastically making continuous fine adjustments to his power within Aomi, wanting to deploy the most perfect defense against his own sister-in-law's perception!
It's like defying the heavens.
"Don't worry, Teacher Tsunade, I'm also looking forward to meeting Lady Mito, the legendary kunoichi..."
Aomi walked shoulder to shoulder with Tsunade, stepping calmly into the Senju Ancestral Mansion.
And at the moment they stepped inside!
All eyes were locked on Aomi!
Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze was full of trust, Shimura Danzo was all ice-cold, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura looked at Aomi with skeptical examination...
And Jiraiya in the back row was simply curious, while Orochimaru looked as if he was having fun...
Faced with the gaze of so many mighty figures, Aomi's smile didn't change a bit.
It sounds quite intimidating, a top-tier lineup in Konoha.
Even if Hatake Sakumo were here, he would be a bit uneasy at heart!
But who is Aomi?
What does this scene count as!
Aomi's ranking number one is a certain unnamed Ninja World Asura, ranking two is the enthusiastic Konoha villager Senju Tobirama!
These people, aside from Uzumaki Mito, even if stacked together, can they match up to a single hair of these two?
Aomi slowly greeted everyone present, among whom many Aomi was meeting for the first time.
In the main seat, Uzumaki Mito slightly narrowed her eyes.
Similar!
Seeing Aomi for the first time, Uzumaki Mito almost thought Uchiha Izuna had come back to life...
But upon closer inspection, it didn't quite match.
And in a trance, she seemed to see a shadow of a familiar person...
But this thought was too ridiculous, Uzumaki Mito only thought it was because she was getting old.
But just Aomi's appearance was enough to put her on alert!
This level of male beauty does indeed have the potential to take advantage of Tsunade's moment of vulnerability and deceive her heart.
Uzumaki Mito's expression remained unchanged, still smiling warmly as she waved to Aomi: "Child, come over, you must be little Tsunade's disciple, what a handsome young man..."
Aomi greeted her crisply and obediently sat on the cushion beside Uzumaki Mito.
"Ah, little Tsunade has taken a disciple, she's grown up so much..."
Uzumaki Mito's voice was very kind, and her actions were naturally like an elder as she patted Aomi's head.
But at this moment...
Uzumaki Mito's silent perception had already begun, the Kagura Heart Eye and the Nine-tails' perception ability firmly covering Aomi!
The strongest perception ninja, the strongest Tailed Beast, the closest perception distance, the combination of these three could be called the Ninja World's exclusive internal CT scan...
Aomi chuckled, as if he was completely unaware, letting Uzumaki Mito pat his head.
Sensing, right?
Go ahead and sense, Uzumaki Mito, Nine-tails!
A few breaths later, Uzumaki Mito, who always wore an expression of calm, suddenly widened her narrowed eyes to the maximum!
And inside her, the Nine-tails was thoroughly going wild at this moment!
"Tobirama?!"
"Uchiha Madara!!"
