Aomi could faintly sense it in the distance.
It was the aura of someone similar.
Only it spanned an extremely vast distance, even across space-time and timelines, making this sense incredibly faint...
In Aomi's speculation, it might be the true form of the ascended God of Otsutsuki!
However, regardless, the two were no longer in the same dimension, and even if they wanted to resolve this final hidden danger, a long-term plan was necessary. For quite a long time from now, this was not an urgent issue to solve...
Aomi and Tobirama, these two immortals, quietly lay in the valley, passing the time.
"Aomi, I somewhat understand the demonic nature of the Uchiha Clan..."
After who knows how long, Senju Tobirama suddenly spoke: "After suddenly becoming an immortal, when I see the weaker ninjas, there's an indescribable trace of disdain in my heart."
"Aside from the human form, the gap between someone at the Six Paths level and a Genin is even larger than that between a human and an ant..."
"The shift in mindset brought by power might gradually make one cold and indifferent, ultimately becoming a stranger even to oneself, unrecognizable to those close to you and even to yourself."
Senju Tobirama was voicing his innermost thoughts.
It seemed like a brand new proposition, that is, how to maintain one's humanity after becoming a god...
At this moment, Senju Tobirama could understand the thoughts of Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
Not agreeing, but just understanding his logic.
It's not that the Six Paths Sage was entirely cold and unemotional, indifferent to the devastation in the Ninja World...
It's more like a scientific experiment.
Rabbits and white mice used as materials wouldn't arouse sympathy; they were just subjects for exploration.
This is a certain so-called divinity brought by power, or rather, the annihilation of former humanity.
And Senju Tobirama couldn't help but ponder a question.
He had already had such feelings after absorbing just one Chakra Fruit...
Then what about Aomi, who is much stronger?
But Senju Tobirama, looking at Aomi comfortably lying on the stone like a pastoral youth, gave a relieved smile.
Aomi was clearly still the Aomi he knew, not some deity who had lost humanity due to power.
"Actually, what you're saying is right, Tobirama..."
Aomi's voice faintly sounded: "It's actually easy to understand... Not only does the Uchiha Clan's Mangekyo have such an impact, but in fact, many people's nature changes dramatically after gaining power."
"Power is a double-edged sword. If one can't control the power, they become enslaved, destroying themselves in a senseless pursuit of more power or uncontrolled emotions."
"For you to immediately recognize this issue right after gaining the Power of the Six Paths, Tobirama, it's no wonder…" Aomi didn't hold back in praising Senju Tobirama.
His old partner truly possessed an extremely wise mind, able to analyze everything he encountered with extreme calmness and rationality...
Senju Tobirama unconsciously crossed his arms, smiling slightly: "Of course..."
"As your senior in this regard, Tobirama, I have some experiences I'd like to share with you..."
Aomi took off his straw hat, his expression turned serious, speaking slowly: "After I acquired the Power of Shibai, I also received some fragmented memories within it... The issue you just mentioned is prevalent in the Otsutsuki Clan as well."
"So-called divinity, to some extent, is a deficiency, a disorder after power annihilates self-awareness..."
"To avoid this situation, my experience is to choose some anchors of humanity... By anchors, I mean people... For example, you, Tsunade, Kaguya, Shisui, Asuma..."
Aomi said slowly, "You, naturally, go without saying. Along this path, without each other's support, it would have been impossible for us to overthrow the entire Otsutsuki Clan with the bodies of mortals..."
"And Tsunade, from an extremely pragmatic perspective, she is actually no longer of use to me... But looking back, when I hadn't gained a firm foothold in Konoha, she brought me into the circle of the Hokage, and supported me clearly multiple times..."
"She's a witness to my growth, and an inseparable anchor."
"Just like Nohara Rin... If it weren't for her, how could I have instantly bonded Uchiha Obito with Dojutsu?" Aomi said leisurely:
"One must find those who have bonds with them, who accompany and love them... Power annihilates humanity, but these precious people will continuously provide you with the brilliance of humanity."
In fact, Aomi revealed a secret.
That is, he actually deliberately approached Uchiha Obito... It wasn't natural and beautiful.
But Senju Tobirama just knowingly nodded, not caring at all about this matter.
In Senju Tobirama's view, none of this mattered... If Aomi had ever deceived a good person, it would have been to make the world, and that good person, better...
Facts prove, Aomi never allowed any good person deserving of favor to suffer injustice.
Senju Tobirama contemplated Aomi's words.
The so-called anchors of humanity, where should his anchors be?
Senju Tobirama reflected on his life...
Those who were important to him.
The first one, surely, was Aomi...
Immediately, another loathsome face from the Uchiha Clan emerged in his consciousness.
