For Aomi, to become his superior, even the Mangekyo Sharingan is not enough. Only those unique Rinnegan possessed by Uchiha Madara in the Ninja World can have such an effect—
The legendary strongest dojutsu, the Sage's Eye!
At this moment, Nagato, the vessel nurturing the Rinnegan, increasingly loses his significance.
With Aomi, what's the need for Nagato?
"The Rinnegan must be retrieved. To be absolutely foolproof, I need an assistant…"
Uchiha Madara slowly formed hand seals, contacting Zetsu—
"Zetsu, make sure Uchiha Obito completely loses love and gains enough power. White Zetsu is under your command recently; execute this well, don't disappoint me. This is the most important task."
Immediately, Uchiha Madara picked up a tome to search for any ninjutsu or creation that could temporarily rejuvenate him or at least make him appear more presentable.
Uchiha Madara flipped through the pages incessantly. From the Warring States to the Ancient Era, there were some ninjutsu related to vitality, and having lost the Rinnegan, Uchiha Madara could indeed use Six Paths Abilities to absorb chakra.
But in his view, these were all useless.
His body harbored the Power of All Things, something as trivial as chakra and some vitality cannot compensate, so for Uchiha Madara, aging is an intensified poison compared to ordinary people.
His physical body is just that particular.
"The Box of Bliss, a ninja tool left by the Six Paths Sage, channel chakra into it and it can fulfill one's wishes?"
After a long time, Uchiha Madara found this information in a tome, his heart stirred.
If he were to capture a Tailed Beast or some ninja and stuff them in, perhaps using this Six Paths Treasure Tool to restore some of his youthfulness might be feasible?
After all, it's a Treasure Tool of the Six Paths, more powerful than those life-transferring ninjutsu.
Uchiha Madara didn't think a single Box of Bliss could restore him to his peak, just to make him look a bit more presentable and not passive when meeting Aomi.
"The Tailed Beast, which one should I choose?"
Uchiha Madara mused:
"These Tailed Beasts revive a few years after they die, it won't hinder the grand plan of the Eye of the Moon Plan."
In the cave, the Ninja World Asura is seeking his path, considering the Tailed Beasts he once captured as pets with Hashirama, reflecting on which would be suitable as the catalyst for this peculiar Box of Bliss remedy.
If Aomi were to assess him, at this moment, Uchiha Madara seemed like an old man tormented by sickness, unable to heal through conventional means, and thus contemplating unconventional methods.
What's more exasperating is, this old man Uchiha Madara is particularly action-oriented, acting as soon as he conceives an idea.
Meanwhile, as Uchiha Madara grumbled about Senju Tobirama.
Senju Tobirama raised an eyebrow, questioning Aomi: "You brat, why did you make the Steaming Danger Mystery look like me!"
He couldn't hold in his composure.
Originally a cold, handsome white-haired man, but the steam and oil from the Steaming Danger Mystery turned him into a chubby, cute version that bounced around, causing Senju Tobirama to feel an unprecedented sense of shame.
He even wanted to confront Hozuki Gengetsu about it, asking if inventing this jutsu and turning himself into such a form didn't make him embarrassed at all?
Especially when the chubby Tobirama Puppet exploded, aside from steam, black ink of the Inner Four Symbols Fuinjutsu spewed out, causing the corners of Senju Tobirama's mouth to twitch uncontrollably.
This ultimate Water Release, though powerful, with many advantages over his Water Dragon Bite Burst, the comedic effect is just too strong.
Senju Tobirama even imagined if during a battle with Uchiha Izuna, he suddenly summoned such a chubby version of himself to bombard the opponent, what reaction would that bastard have?
Surely, he'd burst out laughing!
Senju Tobirama swept around Aomi's inner self vigilantly, as if guarding against a familiar voice suddenly echoing.
"Hey, how could you say that, Tobirama?"
Aomi innocently waved his hand, tilting his head and said, "Don't you think that puppet is cute?"
"I even thought, if I brought peace to… if I brought peace to the Hidden Mist Village, it could serve as a mascot."
"Chubby, adorable, but containing powerful strength inside, how full of the Will of Fire's implications!"
"Look, its appearance is even of you, the Second Hokage, how well does it match!"
Senju Tobirama reluctantly puckered his lips, even this can be related to the Will of Fire?
Previously, Senju Tobirama felt Aomi's understanding of the Will of Fire was not flexible enough. Now it seems it's become overly flexible!
Even he, the Second Hokage, became part of Aomi's Will of Fire…
"Aomi, how are you planning to deal with these Hidden Mist?"
Senju Tobirama shrugged helplessly, skipping the topic, he said in a deep voice: "This might be a good opportunity!"
"You killed the Third Mizukage using the Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu's jutsu, and a few Hidden Mist ninja clans and Anbu have defected to you. You also have the distinctive Lava Release, Boil Release, and Dead Bone Pulse…"
"Seize the momentum, eliminate those Hidden Mist who still resist, and unify this village as your base!" Senju Tobirama looked expectantly at Aomi, his voice filled with persuasive power.
Once, he persuaded his brother Senju Hashirama this way, only to be sternly rebuffed…
And would Aomi rebut him?
Aomi listened to Senju Tobirama's plan, he felt like laughing.
But still, he hesitated, looking at Senju Tobirama, and after a long silence, he nodded: "You're right, Tobirama."
"Since the war has reached this level, there's no turning back."
"The Hidden Mist Village, with its chaotic populace and fragmented ninja clans, compared to the ideologically clear Hidden Rock and the united Hidden Cloud, the Hidden Mist, operated like shifting sands by the Blood Mist, suits the Will of Fire to take root and grow…"
Senju Tobirama nodded appreciatively, emphasizing several key points with Aomi.
Such as, finding trustworthy people to secretly eliminate surviving Hidden Mist elders, feigning their deaths in war to prevent deceit.
Senju Tobirama specifically pointed out one individual, the elder Genshiro of the Hidden Mist, stressing the need to kill this old man…
In doing so, only a group of naive youths would remain in the Hidden Mist, and by organizing the village a bit and drawing comparisons to past conditions, one might actually gain true followers of the Will of Fire.
"Kisame, Kimijiro, Mei, Zabuza, you're responsible for counting the Hidden Mist captives and having heart-to-heart talks with them…"
Aomi commanded while channeling chakra to direct the aerial units: "Return to Tobirama, await further orders, combat has ended, everyone performed very well this round."
Hyuga Hizashi suppressed bursting emotions within, gazing reverently at the composed Aomi.
This is the leader of the Root, the inventor of the new Will of Fire—Lord Aomi!
Even the Five Great Hidden Villages could be destroyed in an instant, even the so-called Kages could be slain…
Would the mere Hyuga Clan, a Caged Bird Seal, be a problem for Lord Aomi?
As long as they remain loyal and make contributions, Hyuga Hizashi is confident their branch family will receive due rewards, that's the style of the Root…
"Lord Aomi, what should our next steps be?"
Hyuga Hizashi watched as Kisame and the others had a pleasant conversation with the Hidden Mist Ninja, and a genuine smile appeared.
Perhaps, before becoming Hokage, Lord Aomi would practice being a Mizukage…
"First, treat the wounded, then take over the Hidden Mist Village?"
Aomi said with a beaming smile: "I feel a connection with this village, a natural alignment with the Will of Fire, don't you think, Hizashi?"
Hyuga Hizashi chuckled: "You're absolutely right…"
And as decisive battles concluded on the Hidden Mist battlefield.
In other areas, they began probing each other with mines.
Zetsu, receiving Uchiha Madara's message, frowned deeply, letting out a long sigh, feeling a bit resentful for his laborious mission.
Always like this…
Whenever Uchiha Madara slapped his thigh with a new idea, Zetsu would dutifully execute it, and it had to be seamless!
"Rin, what's wrong?" Uchiha Obito, beside him, keenly noticed Zetsu's unusualness and asked.
"Nothing, just a bit nervous from being on the battlefield for the first time…"
Zetsu shook his head, but internally, he felt quite irritable—
How to handle Uchiha Obito?
