Senju Tobirama was chattering endlessly in Aomi's ear, making Aomi reluctant to respond, only feeling that his concern was quite noisy.
Just then, a voice from the electronic system sounded, breaking Aomi's train of thought.
[From the confrontation target, the Third Mizukage, you have obtained the inheritance of Hozuki Gengetsu (theory)!]
[Inheritance of Hozuki Gengetsu (theory)]: You have obtained the principles and prerequisites of the Hozuki Gengetsu series of Ninjutsu. Due to the talent limitations of the confrontation target, you need to learn and master it yourself.
The Third Mizukage, indeed, isn't dead yet...
Although Aomi's attack was heavy, the idea of killing a Kage Level opponent with a single punch was somewhat of an exaggeration.
Especially since the Third Mizukage had mastered the Water Transformation Jutsu, making him seem like he had an Undying Body in the ocean, he wouldn't die that easily...
In the depths of the ocean, before Aomi.
A massive swirling water vortex roared to life, as if the ocean currents came alive, forming a giant human shape...
On the head of this water giant, the upper body of the Third Mizukage stood, looking down at Aomi with a cold smile.
"State your name, strange brat!"
The Third Mizukage's eyes were full of venom, and he said in a deep voice:
"Konoha has been hiding a monster like you. I never expected it, and even the Kaguya Clan's Dead Bone Pulse is here. Did you perform human experimentation on yourself?!"
"And that insidious bomb—it seems that this village, taken over by Senju Tobirama, should have been eradicated long ago!"
After experiencing the power of Tobirama No.1, the Third Mizukage felt a familiar style.
If it weren't certain that Senju Tobirama was already dead, he might have thought that Tobirama had been resurrected to personally design the despicable Kinjutsu and new Ninja Tools to carry on this war...
"What did Senju Tobirama ever do to you?"
Aomi frowned and retorted unhappily, "For invaders, it requires the combination of the Second Hokage's power and the Uchiha's Dojutsu to make you feel pain."
"You don't think all Konoha Ninja are like the First Hokage, sitting down calmly with weaker opponents even with overwhelming power, do you?"
The face of the Third Mizukage froze, but the killing intent in his eyes grew stronger.
Aomi was right; for this war that they initiated, any counterattack from Konoha's side was justified...
He just didn't expect that Senju Tobirama's war style would be inherited and even amplified by a young member of the Uchiha Clan!
This is too dangerous...
The Third Mizukage couldn't help but remember Onoki's emphasis—
The next God of the Ninja World from Konoha is unlikely to be the amiable Senju Hashirama, but rather Uchiha Madara...
After all, the mindset of the strong is generally the same, with the weak only needing to submit; there are few idealists like Senju Hashirama.
"Brat, in these waters, my power is infinite..."
The Third Mizukage looked down at Aomi from above, speaking coldly:
"The Water Transformation Jutsu paired with Water Healing Jutsu makes me immune to physical attacks, and even if you mix Lightning Release into your Ninjutsu, I can quickly heal my wounds."
"My Water Release, drawn from the sea, doesn't need much Chakra yet has double the power. Even if you can mimic the Hozuki Secret Technique of Water Cannon Jutsu, this Water Transformation Jutsu has been honed over decades by me. Even if you can imitate, you cannot master it as skillfully as I do!"
Aomi speechlessly looked at the prattling Third Mizukage and shook his head:
"By saying so, you didn't sustain any fatal injuries; you were just hiding at the bottom of the sea waiting for my state to wear off?"
"Those Hidden Mist Ninja were all used as cannon fodder by you, weren't they..."
"And this habit of announcing your abilities, is it something the Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu taught you? If there's another opportunity, remember to change it; it's not a good habit."
The Third Mizukage sneered, recalling being hit by Aomi's punch, with an even more apprehensive look in his eyes.
That punch contained power more terrifying than the Three-tails he once faced, as if being hit by the full force of a Tailed Beast...
If not for the Water Transformation Jutsu mitigating the physical attack and the endless water supply in the ocean, he really might have been killed at first sight.
But just as Senju Tobirama said, the Third Mizukage didn't believe a human body could endure such power for long; it's just a brief explosive state and will inevitably end over time.
And just as he predicted, Aomi truly didn't maintain that state indefinitely!
Therefore, he appeared.
"Brat, there's no need to sow discord here..."
The Third Mizukage's expression was indifferent, speaking icily: "I am the Mizukage of The Hidden Mist; facing a formidable enemy like you, they could only buy time for me. This is their fate."
"As long as I kill you, the death of the Hidden Mist Ninja will have value!"
Although the voices of both were not loud.
Everyone heard it, including the rest of the Hidden Mist Ninja and Kisame, Hyuga Hizashi, and others on the distant shore.
Hyuga Hizashi and other Root Ninja frowned, even wanting to spit on the ground.
To openly boast about using one's own ninja as cannon fodder was worse than Shimura Danzo!
In those days, even Shimura Danzo had some decency, using the Will of Fire as an excuse, not being this blatant...
Kisame and the others shook their heads wordlessly, letting go of the last shred of affection they had for The Hidden Mist Village as it faded away with the sea breeze.
