Heart of Hidden Mist…
Aomi looked at this special talent, and quietly chuckled to himself.
The Uchiha Clan really does have a peculiar fate.
In the original timeline, Uchiha Madara had controlled the Hidden Mist Anbu, sealed the Three-tails into Nohara Rin's body, and Uchiha Obito had controlled the Fourth Mizukage, turning Karatachi Yagura into a puppet, starting a more brutal Blood Mist Village to avenge his lover.
And here, with Aomi, there appears the Heart of Hidden Mist…
The position of Hokage over in Konoha still hasn't reached a definitive result, as Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato are still somewhat doubtful of Aomi due to Mount Myoboku's prophecy.
But on this side, The Hidden Mist Village has already unabashedly overtaken the bend, explicitly wanting Aomi to become Mizukage, as if flirtatiously gesturing at Aomi—
This great lord of the Uchiha, come and play~
"The final confrontation can be initiated, with the reward being the Ocean Contract…" Aomi mused.
He hadn't really heard of what this Ocean Contract was, only that Senju Tobirama was mockingly called the man who signed a contract with the ocean by people of the Warring States Era.
But in Aomi's view, this old man was someone who was out there selling himself!
Indeed, Senju Tobirama's Water Release techniques were quite comprehensive, developing assassination-type Ninjutsu like "Water Release: Celestial Cry" which uses water needles as hidden weapons spitting them from the mouth…
Enhancing lethality with the "Hard Vortex Water Blade" and the "Water Dragon Bite Burst" techniques…
Yet those still weren't at the pinnacle of strength.
From a performance perspective, the Great Waterfall Jutsu in Kisame's peak period, combined with the chakra-absorbing Thousand Shark, Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu's Evaporation Fury, the partnership Genjutsu with the summoned beast Ohamaguri, and the series of Water Release like Great Water Arm Jutsu, Water Transformation Jutsu, all belonged to the top tier.
And if Aomi mastered all Water Release Ninjutsu and forged a contract with the ocean, then he would undoubtedly be the number one in Water Release!
Even if the Six Paths Sage came, leveraging the natural forces of the ocean, Aomi would try to drag him to the ocean floor…
"The difficulty to initiate the final confrontation is indeed quite high."
Aomi furrowed his brows, realizing that to obtain the Sea Release, he first needed to bring the Heart of Hidden Mist to its peak, then complete it after initiating the final confrontation.
And till today, his confrontation target, reaching this final step, is only Senju Tobirama.
This evil Senju elder, who stayed with him day and night, profoundly influenced by Aomi.
Other close ones, not even Shisui has initiated it.
"Senju Tobirama initiated the final confrontation out of extreme dissatisfaction with Konoha's current state, triggered by the Fire of Will in intricate details, ultimately exploded by Shimura Danzo persecuting Hatake Sakumo, rooting in the collapse of perseverance and faith in his heart, having everything to do with me…"
"Thus, to push the Heart of Hidden Mist to its final stage, one must first make these Hidden Mist Ninja submit to me, enabling them to experience flourishing peace, regard me as their sole, first cultivating positive emotions…"
"Afterward, try to make them feel extreme emotional fluctuations, whether negative or positive, decide based on the situation…"
Aomi was searching for the right way to initiate the final confrontation, looking up to the moon with a faint smile.
Perhaps, letting that white-haired elder sister lend a hand might work.
And to contact that person, one needed to keep a close watch on Black Zetsu, the creation deeply linked to Otsutsuki Kaguya.
"The Hidden Mist being related to the ocean, what could the other villages represent then?"
Based on the reward of the Ocean Contract, Aomi evaluated the Five Great Hidden Villages:
"Hidden Rock's symbols are mountains and earth, Hidden Sand is the gale and desert, Hidden Cloud is lightning and the sky, these four Hidden Villages encompass the topography of the Ninja World, if supposed this way, it indeed embodies natural forces…"
"Then what about Konoha?"
"With my influence on Konoha, I should have long awakened something like the 'Heart of Konoha'…"
"Now there's only a clan talent like 'Heart of Uchiha'…"
Aomi pondered for a moment, shrugged his shoulders.
Perhaps, this village founded by Six Paths Sage's reincarnated offspring, the bloodline there is the reward for confrontation.
And representing the power of this planet itself, other Hidden Villages possess the natural force.
Of course, these are all hypotheses, Aomi isn't certain.
But it is clear that whether it's Hidden Mist or Hidden Rock, Hidden Sand, Hidden Cloud, as long as Aomi conquers them one by one, he will always uncover the mysteries behind.
This still is a relatively long path.
Conquering just one Senju Tobirama took quite a long time, not to mention an entire community, a village?
For now, defeating the Hidden Mist until they submit is the priority, cultivating this village's loyalty to him.
Judging from Kaguya Kimijiro's performance, this Hidden Mist village values strength greatly, through relatively simple show of force, a slap and a sweet date could yield excellent results.
After all, this village neither has the Will of Fire, nor something like the Will of Rock, internally, it has already shown signs of splintering.
In a chaotic state, whether it's gaining people's hearts or conquest, it's always less challenging than a systematic village.
Terumi Mei gazed at Aomi's back, seemingly gilded in thin mist under the sun's brilliance, her gaze filled with fascination.
Is this a Genjutsu?
However, Terumi Mei's body was very honest, as she lightly and briskly followed.
If not for Aomi's emergence, they would still be trying to break through the acidic mist and thunder zones.
