"Aomi, that's the Dead Bone Pulse, right?"
Senju Tobirama stared, "How did you awaken this Kekkei Genkai..."
In Senju Tobirama's original plan, he intended for Aomi to directly kill Kaguya Kimijiro, then use the Chimera Jutsu to absorb his essence, turning Aomi into a perfect being...
But the problem was, Aomi only absorbed some of Kaguya Kimijiro's Chakra and was able to use the Dead Bone Pulse.
If it were the Adamantine Sealing Chains Aomi used earlier, it could have been explained as a Secret Technique that can be learned through Chakra from Uzumaki Mito...
But the Dead Bone Pulse, the organic Kekkei Genkai passed down through the Kaguya Clan for generations, cannot be acquired through training!
It's like the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan or the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan; these are matters of bloodline!
Could it be that Aomi has the bloodline of the Kaguya Clan?
That doesn't make sense, for Senju Tobirama knows Aomi's background very well.
Aomi is a descendant of Uchiha Kagami, undoubtedly a pure-blooded Uchiha.
Other than having the souls of himself, Uchiha Izuna, Uzumaki Mito, and an Ancient Uchiha Chakra inside him, he should have been just an ordinary child.
"You remember how I taught Asuma the Fire Release, Rin the Mystical Palm Jutsu, and Uncle Duy and Guy the Lightning Release Chakra Mode method, right, Tobirama..."
"Of course I remember; using Genjutsu to familiarize themselves with Chakra flow and Jutsu release," Tobirama calmly analyzed, frowning. "But this is an organic Kekkei Genkai, not ordinary Ninjutsu, unless you have the blood of the Kaguya Clan, how could you use it?"
"Just like they learned Ninjutsu they originally couldn't do, when I saw that gray-haired Hidden Mist Kaguya using the Dead Bone Pulse..."
Aomi pointed to his Sharingan and said softly,
"After closely observing his Dead Bone Pulse, my body inexplicably became restless. It felt as natural as when the Uchiha Clan awaken their eyes, and I just naturally mastered it."
"Not just that Kaguya Clan ninja, but also that female ninja's Boil Release and Lava Release, the shark-faced one's Chakra-absorbing special body constitution, I can observe all that through these eyes..."
"It's not just observation; learning it is also easy."
"Isn't my talent a bit strange, Tobirama?"
Senju Tobirama remained silent.
Aomi is a genius, but even a genius must adhere to basic laws; no one can master every Kekkei Genkai just by looking at it.
As a scientist, Senju Tobirama tried hard to think of the cause of Aomi's mutation—
After excluding all possibilities and variables, Senju Tobirama could only attribute the reason to the Ancient Uchiha Chakra that possessed Aomi when he found the Sword of Totsuka and the Yata Mirror...
Could it be that this Ancient Uchiha is a hybrid with the blood of the Kaguya Clan?
"Do you think it's possible that I am, indeed, a product of your Kinjutsu, Tobirama?"
Aomi interrupted Senju Tobirama's thoughts, saying with a light laugh,
"Not only the Dead Bone Pulse, but even when I saw Hyuga Hizashi's Byakugan, I felt a similar impulse to awaken the Byakugan, though not very strong. I thought it was just an illusion..."
"Don't worry; I'm not accusing you of deceiving me. It just seems like the most plausible explanation."
Aomi gestured for silence, signaling the sweating, eager-to-argue Senju Tobirama to stay calm:
"Following Lady Mito's line of thought, in order to solve the Uchiha Clan's issue, you combined technology from Artificial Tailed Beasts with your own Chakra as a base to create this Kinjutsu that resides in me."
"And knowing your character, wouldn't you try something a bit more outrageous?"
Aomi objectively analyzed:
"If it were just the Chakras of two reincarnates, there's no reason Uchiha Izuna, who is on par with you, would be so decisively suppressed within me. Plus, I have the Kekkei Genkai of the Uzumaki Clan, and now I've even awakened the abilities of the Kaguya Clan and some resonance with the Hyuga Clan..."
"This isn't just a bloodline issue anymore; clearly, from talent to bloodline, something is off."
"And your sister-in-law Uzumaki Mito and your beloved apprentice Sarutobi Hiruzen both believe you're the one who's not right, Tobirama..."
"Tell me, who's causing my peculiarity?"
After acquiring the Dead Bone Pulse, Aomi candidly admitted to his peculiarity.
Since acquiring part of the Chakra and gaining a Kekkei Genkai, even with the existence of the Chimera Jutsu, was too far-fetched to be an explanation.
So, admitting it outright and passing the responsibility to Senju Tobirama is better, letting him fill in the gaps himself.
If Aomi forcibly explained, it might even affect the final confrontation with Senju Tobirama.
Senju Tobirama took a deep breath; if this were a scientific experiment, with so much evidence, even someone as rigorous as him would draw conclusions.
From the compatibility of Aomi's and his powers, the Space Seal of the Tandem Paper Bomb Jutsu, to sensing him accurately from the Pure Land...
All these indicate he is the one pulling strings behind the scenes.
But the problem is, he knows he is indeed innocent!
"Aomi, since you retrieved that Spiritual Artifact from the Uchiha Clan, you've gained an extra Chakra..."
At this moment, Senju Tobirama's mind operated at its peak.
"You can feel it too, Aomi; judging by the state of that Spiritual Artifact, it's an Ancient Uchiha!"
