Senju Tobirama was trying hard to find a local explanation in the Ninja World for the line system on Aomi:
"According to legend, the Senju, Uchiha, Kaguya, Hyuga, and Uzumaki are all descendants of the Six Paths Sage. These Ninja Clans were originally one family, with extremely close bloodlines, but with time, they've evolved into various Ninja Clans."
"I think the fact that you've awakened the Dead Bone Pulse and have an unusual sensitivity to the Byakugan suggests that this Uchiha is close to that era, possibly even from the Six Paths Sage era's Uchiha..."
Senju Tobirama's heart stirred, and he found another argument:
"Look at those two Spiritual Artifacts he left behind; they have the same aura as the Six Paths Treasure Tools I have seen. This indicates that this Uchiha is undoubtedly deeply connected to the Six Paths Sage, not just a simple Uchiha Bloodline..."
Aomi gave a suspicious glance at Senju Tobirama.
To be honest, not only had Senju Tobirama gotten himself tangled up, but Aomi was also about to get confused.
Did he really have a system or not?
Senju Tobirama was about to uncover Indra's identity even in this mental drama, becoming the first detective in the Ninja World to solve mysteries without reading the Uchiha Stele...
"Tobirama, it seems your explanation is still a bit convoluted..."
Aomi sighed, "Do you think there's a possibility that I am the reincarnation of the Six Paths Sage?"
Senju Tobirama waved his hand, "Impossible, absolutely impossible, unless one day, Aomi, you possess those legendary eyes!"
"I know you might have doubts about me. I admit that I indeed had the thoughts that Mito mentioned back in the day, trying to fabricate a Chakra aggregate to change the mindset of a genius Uchiha..."
Senju Tobirama sincerely said, "But I didn't succeed, really, Aomi."
Aomi's mouth twitched; not only himself, but Senju Tobirama also seemed to have learned that sincerity is a killer technique in this business?
"I've been walking on thin ice my entire life, Tobirama..."
Aomi said with great emotion:
"With ancient powers and Warring States powerhouses, the Chakras of countless predecessors from ages past gather within me, what virtue and ability do I have?"
"Sometimes I wonder, although I don't agree with Jiraiya's faith in the Child of Prophecy, my strange circumstances seem quite reasonable explained this way..."
"Could it be that fate can indeed be prophesied? Coincidentally, I even have a Dojutsu that can observe the future..."
"Do you think if I continue this path, can I reach the other side of peace?"
Aomi sighed heavily, seemingly burdened with concern, and stopped speaking to Senju Tobirama.
Senju Tobirama also sighed. He initially thought the Chakra possessing Aomi was just an ordinary ancient Uchiha old-timer...
It turns out the figure has a formidable background, even stronger than Uchiha Izuna!
In the silent war within Aomi, it seems the Uchiha Clan has gained another general...
And Aomi's mention of the Child of Prophecy deepened Senju Tobirama's contemplation.
Though he didn't believe in prophecy, Aomi's numerous mysteries, frightening talent, and fate seemed to align with the narrative...
And on the other side of the Forest of Death.
The four Hidden Mist Ninjas released by Aomi now looked at each other.
"I am telling you, Uchiha Aomi did release the Dead Bone Pulse, right?"
Terumi Mei murmured, "And also my unique Boil Release and Lava Release, what on earth is this guy?"
Kaguya Kimijiro fell into contemplation, recalling the Bone Blade Aomi briefly exhibited, and trembled deeply in his heart.
The strength and purity of the Dead Bone Pulse were discernible to him at a glance, and they were certainly not inferior to that genius...
He finally understood why Aomi went through so much effort to awaken him rather than kill him!
It turns out he was his half-brother with the Kaguya bloodline...
"Terumi Mei, your Kekkei Genkai isn't worth mentioning, merely a fusion of two Chakra Attributes!"
Kaguya Kimijiro murmured, "The Ninjutsu you can research, big brother Aomi with noble bloodlines of Kaguya and Uchiha, can see through in a glance..."
"No wonder he told me there's more to life than fighting, and urged me to return with a message to the Kaguya Clan..."
Kaguya Kimijiro saw through much.
Using power to convince clansmen of differing opinions is common in the Kaguya Clan, but Aomi let him feel the beauty of life through pain, letting him be more inclusive with thoughts.
This stern paternal way inexplicably made Kaguya Kimijiro, who lacked love since childhood, feel cared for!
He had to admit, with his previous mindset, if Aomi had tried to reason kindly, he indeed wouldn't have listened.
Only after being beaten, and with ruthless methods, could Kaguya Kimijiro barely listen to other opinions.
"Are you implying you want to defect to Konoha with the Kaguya Clan?"
Zabuza coughed up blood and glared viciously at Kaguya Kimijiro, coldly saying, "I will report this to Lord Third Mizukage!"
Kaguya Kimijiro smiled and waved, grinning warmly,
"You might as well tell the Third Mizukage that the Kaguya Clan will surely rebel during wartime, urging him to mobilize troops to eradicate us now..."
"Ask him, with the war about to commence, does he dare to take action against us?"
"Taking action against us, then what about the other Bloodline Ninja Clans? Such a laughable brat!"
Kisame silently watched Kaguya Kimijiro, realizing he indeed made a valid point.
The Kaguya Clan is publicly defying in the Hidden Mist; even reporting to the Third Mizukage, what could be done?
With this situation, with Kisame's understanding of the Hidden Mist Village, it would expose his and Zabuza's intentions to target Kaguya Clan's genius, leaving them and Zabuza more likely to be purged instead.
After all, Hidden Mist Ninjas who fail their missions and expose information can't survive in this village.
Aomi's mention of Hatake Sakumo also deeply affected Kisame.
At least, Konoha is a village still debating whether comrades or missions are more important...
While Hidden Mist is a village where this topic will never arise.
To be honest, Kisame doesn't feel indebted to this village as a Hidden Mist Ninja, but the village constantly hurts his emotions, making his heart more oppressed.
Terumi Mei was still reminiscing Aomi's handsomeness, savoring the gentle touch when patting her cheek.
Though Aomi seemed to smile gently at everyone, in Terumi Mei's view, there were distinctions!
Kisame and Zabuza were beaten terribly, and as for Kaguya Kimijiro, even worse. Only she was simply bound by the curse seal...
Upon hearing Zabuza's loyal words towards the Mizukage, Terumi Mei reluctantly interrupted her reverie, raising her eyebrows in disdain:
"Stop disgusting people, Zabuza!"
"Kisame, that guy planned to slaughter you first, and then me and Kaguya Kimijiro."
"Frankly, between you and Kisame, it's you who need more to consider their position. The Third Mizukage must use secretive methods to have you ambush and assassinate me and Kaguya Kimijiro, but you and Zabuza, the two Hidden Mist Anbu?"
Terumi Mei coldly stated, "Killed and thrown into the sea to feed the fish, and no one would say a word for you."
Zabuza's expression chilled; he was well aware of this truth.
It's just that he didn't want to face it.
Kisame squinted his eyes, thoughtfully, slowly saying, "Terumi Mei, you're right, but..."
"All four of us are Hidden Mist who cannot complete the mission. If the Third Mizukage seeks accountability, your families can't protect you..."
"Not even mentioning Uchiha Aomi's matter, if we want to live, we must find someone to take the blame!"
Zabuza was silent for a long time before speaking, "I want to live, what about you?"
The four Hidden Mist Ninjas exchanged glances, flashing their trademarked cruel smiles, and gathered to discuss.
The Hidden Mist is such a village, with today's certainty but no guarantee for tomorrow.
And for them to have a tomorrow, Suikazan Fuguki might need to be sacrificed on the way back to the village...
Perhaps, framing him as Shimura Danzo's spy might be a feasible plan?

In the center of the Forest of Death.
Uchiha Obito, Might Duy, Hidden Rock, and Sasori, Hidden Cloud were in a chaotic battle.
Aomi had just arrived when he heard the Hidden Rock Jonin, Higashi Shibito, shout:
"Brothers, first get rid of that Uchiha brat; opening three Tomoe at this age won't be easy to deal with in the future!"
"This kid might possess the potential of Uchiha Madara, we cannot let him stay alive, let's kill him first!"
