"As for this giant floating fortress, Aomi-kun calls it a Space-Air Mother Ship, though its official name hasn't been decided yet…"
Orochimaru looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with malice, and softly said, "Why not name it the Sarutobi Hiruzen?"
"What do you think, Aomi-kun…"
"I think it's great, the Third Hokage has toiled over this for a long time, and we should commemorate him." Aomi responded with a smile, glancing at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen instantly broke into a cold sweat.
To name it after him?
Seriously, please don't test me, my master, I am loyal to you without the slightest hint of betrayal!
"I think it's better named after Tobirama No.1, after all, the technological advancement of Konoha originated from that esteemed personage."
Sarutobi Hiruzen awkwardly laughed, "I'll just pass, really…"
Within Aomi, Senju Tobirama snorted contentedly.
That's more like it…
A wretched bomb named Tobirama No.1, yet such a magnificent warship named after Sarutobi Hiruzen?
What a reversal!
Aomi frowned, somewhat displeased:
"This is not right, after all, the research from Root divisions owed a great deal to you as the Third Hokage, and Root deserves some credit!"
"Let me think, haven't we named the Poison Gas Bomb yet, Minister Orochimaru?"
Orochimaru nodded:
"No name yet, I've tested the effectiveness of this batch of poison gases crafted by Tsunade, and it's superb, comparable to the poison of the Salamander in the Second Ninja World War."
"If she had had this enlightenment earlier, maybe in the last war we wouldn't have had the dishonor of being named the Sannin."
Orochimaru was very emotional, when someone like Tsunade, skilled in Medical Ninjutsu, engages in poison-making, the entire Ninja World would have to call her a master!
Cost-effective, highly lethal, it's essentially an indispensable aid for robbery, destroying homes, and wiping out villages.
"Then let this bomb be named Hiruzen No.1, how's that?" Aomi pointed to the green poison gas bombs stacked in the warehouse in the distance.
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a jolt in his heart.
If such a thing were named Hiruzen No.1, then after his death he would be remembered in the Ninja World for hundreds of years.
"I think it's better to name it Tobirama No.2, to let all Konoha ninjas know that this war could not possibly have been prepared so thoroughly without Lord Tobirama…"
Sarutobi Hiruzen, looking regretful, said, "Although I am tempted, paying tribute to the teacher would be more appropriate for such a precious opportunity."
Sarutobi Hiruzen silently apologized to his teacher.
Some burdens can be shouldered, but some are truly unbearable!
If Hiruzen No.1 were actually established, his long-held bright image would instantly crumble.
In the decades and centuries to come, when Konoha ninjas mention his name, who would remember him as the kind and amiable Third Hokage?
Sarutobi Hiruzen cautiously observed Aomi's expression and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Aomi's expression showed no change, indicating that Tobirama-sensei had no objection.
But in reality, Senju Tobirama was already jumping with rage!
"Monkey, how dare you!"
Senju Tobirama couldn't hold back anymore: "Have you considered my reputation, you rascal, just wait!"
"Where is your Will of Fire? Can't you help bear some burden for me? So, you gave my paper a zero score, is that it? Fine, fine…"
"Let's settle all accounts, wait for me to settle all accounts with you!"
Senju Tobirama dared not even imagine what his reputation would become after this war…
"The Space-Air Mother Ship named Tobirama No.1, equipped with a sufficient number of standard Clay Bombs, in conjunction with specially made Tobirama No.1, No.2, Amaterasu, and Poison Gas powers, can quickly project power into enemy focal breakthrough areas, forming a comprehensive enemy clear-out attack…"
Orochimaru spoke with admiration: "Moreover, its existence provides endurance for the giant bird assault units and flying squads, our command center can be seated within it, covering the entire battlefield, truly it's an unmatched piece of war machinery."
"It was only under Aomi's suggestion and guidance that I thought of attempting to transform the marine warships of the Hidden Sky Village into aerial warships."
"I look forward to the performance of the Tobirama series weapons in this war…"
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.
He was also looking forward, after all, the naming honors Tobirama rather than Hiruzen, so without any burdensome feeling, he could just enjoy the spectacle…
"War, indeed so merciless, I seem already to see heaps of corpses piled up like mountains…"
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head: "What a hopeless situation."
"How could it be hopeless?"
Aomi patted Sarutobi Hiruzen's shoulder and softly said, "The enemies' discarded bones can be used to activate the Pot Poison Jutsu, are you worried about the environmental problems within the Land of Fire?"
"Rest assured, it won't be."
Sarutobi Hiruzen abruptly closed his mouth; he did not know what environmental meant but did not want to comment further.
He feared that if he uttered another word, Aomi would bring out another big treasure with his name attached to it…
"Wait for the enemy's declaration of war, Hiruzen."
Aomi smiled warmly, saying words that sent chills, "When they tear apart the peace agreement, that will be the start of war."
"Annihilation battles, blitzkrieg, strike battles, defensive battles, encirclement battles, breakthrough battles, retreat battles, enemy sweeping battles, on the wilds, in forests, plains, deserts, seas, skies, mud, swamps…"
"I believe that the neatly arrayed Konoha airborne corps will drop bombs named after Tobirama together, exploding enemy formations with booms! They will break through enemy lines, and the enemy soldiers, as they wail stumbling away from the burning battlefield, will be shot by airborne squads wielding poisoned bullets to death!
"On the ground, our ninjas armed to the teeth will further trampling enemy ranks with their morale, torturing their mentality."
"Enemies' cries and wails will accompany my command gestures, with their bodies in the Pot Poison Jutsu paying for their sins; even their leaders will be exposed as grotesque and at loss in front of untold mines and Inner Four Symbols Fuinjutsu."
"When they ecstatically attack our home, yet we flatten them with advanced bombs, such justice and full of Will of Fire…"
"I long for this war, longing for a war like Hell's descent, an emotionally lacking, cold-hearted war, a war exceeding all prior Ninja World standards, reaching the pinnacle of warfare!"
"I believe this war will awaken all ill-intentioned towards us and the enemies now planning to split the spoils!"
"Grasp their hearts, pull them from dreams, help those invaders remember Konoha's past, the taste of fear once dominated by the Ninja World Asura, the Senju evil spirit!"
"Make them unable to lift their gaze at the sign of Konoha, only able to grovel trembling on the ground."
Aomi spread his arms wide, seeming to embrace the world itself, gently saying:
"At that time, I believe peace will descend on the Ninja World, chains of hatred will be cut down…"
"What do you all say?"
Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen, shocked by Aomi's declaration, slowly nodded.
In this situation, affirming first, speaking of other things later is wise…
Senju Tobirama contemplated Aomi's words attentively—
At this moment, he had made up his mind.
No matter what, he must attach himself to Aomi, keeping watch at all times.
This lad, possessing Will of Fire without yet being seduced by Uchiha's traits, can achieve such feats…
In the future, if confounded, he could drag the moon down!
#
Two months later.
Declarations of war from various countries neatly arrived at Konoha.
The reasons were crude, and even somewhat ludicrous—
Konoha was suspected of possessing weapons of mass destruction, and for the peace of the Ninja World, the major Hidden Villages formed an alliance army to punish this wicked village!
