This was all taught by Senju Tobirama. After all, the Will of Fire can be flexible, so naturally, the principles can be flexible too.
"Let's start with the Three-tails..."
Aomi waved his hand, signaling for the Hidden Mist ninjas to step back.
Kisame and Kaguya Kimijiro exchanged glances, seeing reluctance and hesitation in each other's eyes.
They were Shadow Guards after all!
They should have some purpose, but reality told them that Aomi, the Mizukage, truly didn't need them to defend him...
A few people retreated.
A red glow flashed in Aomi's eyes, and he casually clasped his hands together, quietly speaking to Senju Tobirama:
"Tobirama, lend me some of your power. My Chakra mixed with the power of that eye, every action accelerates its erosion of my body."
Senju Tobirama nodded vigorously: "Use it as you like, Aomi."
After speaking, Senju Tobirama added rather unhappily, "I never restricted you, did I? Just use it freely, no need for formalities, it's really annoying to hear..."
Aomi smiled slightly.
This old guy, does he think we're very familiar?
Perhaps, we are quite familiar...
In an instant, azure Chakra enveloped Aomi, and the tranquil lake started to riot!
Like a volcanic eruption, countless thick water whirlwinds roared from the depths of the lake, lifting a hundred-meter-long, gray-black iron turtle, which let out a sharp roar!
This was the Three-tails, a Tailed Beast in the form of a giant turtle.
"Human, human!" The Three-tails roared sharply, its iron-like shell glinting with a metallic sheen, ferocious, and its small eyes filled with malicious light.
The Three-tails struggled within the water whirlwinds, though a turtle adept in water, it struggled to maintain itself in this tumultuous surge.
The next moment, the water whirlwinds gathered and transformed into a giant resembling Aomi.
It was as if all the lake's water had gathered together, and the water giant picked up the Three-tails with ease, like an ordinary person lifting a durian effortlessly.
The Hidden Mist ninja behind Aomi watched numbly, along with the ninjas in the village who weren't present...
At this moment, everyone's eyes focused on the water giant Aomi.
This...
This is true Water Release...
This is the Mizukage of the Hidden Mist!
The display from the Heart of Hidden Mist caused these ninjas' loyalty to surge...
Aomi smiled lightly in his heart.
There's an interesting proposition—what is the most beautiful thing in this world?
Some like voluptuousness, some like agility, and others like something unique; in short, preferences are free.
But there is a kind of beauty that most people, especially ninjas, would surely like—strength!
When there is enough strength, even if one is heinous or unsightly, there is always a peculiar beauty...
Moreover, Aomi is not a villain; he is the first Mizukage of the new Hidden Mist Village!
The water giant grabbed the Three-tails with one hand, and with the other hand, punched open the valley above the lake, sending debris flying!
The Six-tails hidden within was exposed to everyone's view.
From its cautious appearance, it seemed this once very dangerous Tailed Beast was also panicking inside.
Even monsters can fear an existence more monstrous than themselves...
The water giant exhibited agility unmatched by its size, easily dodging the massive amounts of corrosive liquid spat by the Six-tails, and caught the slug-like creature in its grip.
The two monsters, which the Hidden Mist couldn't handle, were seized by Aomi in just a few blinks of an eye.
The water giant placed the Three-tails and the Six-tails in front of Aomi, standing like a security guard behind the two Tailed Beasts.
A turtle and a slug, the two Tailed Beasts looked at Aomi before them, appearing more dismayed than when beaten by the water giant.
As split bodies of the Ten-tails, they have a natural aversion to being combined into one, as it signifies their own annihilation.
So in the face of the Otsutsuki, who stands above the Ten-tails, they are even more apprehensive; they inherit some of the Ten-tails' memories, but their allegiance is opposite.
The Three-tails and the Six-tails suddenly charged forward; although the water giant still watched over them, they chose to fight desperately against Aomi...
This man was too much like the Otsutsuki!
If they could assassinate him, that would be the best outcome!
Even if the Hidden Mist ninjas joined forces to kill them later, such a death was acceptable, as they could still be revived.
The Three-tails and the Six-tails, unscathed, enacted their daring plan...
Unknown to them, if the Nine-tails were present, this fox, seeing Aomi's open stance, would only be more wary, believing he was fishing malevolently rather than genuinely lowering his guard.
"Watch out, Lord Aomi!" Kisame and Kaguya Kimijiro and others suddenly rushed forward, blocking in front of Aomi.
Aomi didn't move, merely lifting his ordinary Three-Tomoe Sharingan to glimpse at the Three-tails and the Six-tails, freezing the two suicidal monsters like wax figures in place!
The Sharingan counters the Tailed Beasts, and Aomi's eyes, combined with numerous Uchiha's ocular power...
"No need to worry, everyone."
[Sensed strong fear from the Three-tails towards the host, bonded as a confrontation target!]
[Sensed strong fear from the Six-tails towards the host, bonded as a confrontation target!]
Aomi coughed lightly, walked towards the Three-tails and the Six-tails, and subtly absorbed some Tailed Beast Chakra.
[Guardian of the Shark]: Your Ninjutsu and melee attacks can absorb Chakra.
Derived from Kisame's unique talent, Aomi's ordinary Dojutsu harbors abilities to seize Chakra.
Thus, Aomi possesses the Chakra of the Three, Four, Five, Six, and Nine-tails inside, with only the One, Two, Seven, and Eight-tails yet to be acquired.
"To grapple with Kaguya, the types of Tailed Beast Chakra must be complete, but the quantity shouldn't be too much..."
"Even the Six Paths Sage had to separate from the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki state; these Tailed Beasts are essentially Kaguya's subordinates, rashly amassing them within would cause issues."
Aomi pondered: "When it comes time to control Kaguya, reclaiming these Tailed Beasts won't be much trouble."
Just like Uchiha Madara revived in the original timeline, swallowing nine Tailed Beasts at once using the Gedo Statue, needing only a Rinnegan's glance, whereas the less powerful Nagato and Obito grappled with the Ninja World for twenty years with little effect.
Merely a farce...
"Aomi, the Chakras of the Three-tails and the Six-tails are within your body!" Senju Tobirama frowned, glaring at the Nine Tomoe Rinne Sharingan within his body, speaking gravely.
Aomi isn't capable of absorbing Tailed Beast Chakra, as it would accelerate the erosion of his body...
"Tobirama, stop fixating on that eye; I'm actively absorbing it. I extracted their essence using ocular power."
Aomi spoke a bit wearily: "Have you forgotten? I actively extracted the Chakras of the Four, Five, and Nine-tails..."
"Why do this, Aomi?" Senju Tobirama asked, puzzled.
"According to the Uchiha Stele, restoring the Ten-tails requires all the power of the nine Tailed Beasts..."
Aomi spoke softly:
"Though I can't absorb all nine Tailed Beasts within me, I can make them incomplete. In doing so, it strengthens the sealing, for neither you nor I can foresee how the Ninja World will change..."
"Even after dealing with the Uchiha Stele, who knows if the Six Paths Sage left other lies to mislead people?"
"Taking away part of the Tailed Beast Chakra is better than letting these Tailed Beasts, linked to reviving the Six Paths Sage, continue to roam complete in the Ninja World... I don't know if it's effective, but I'll try to do what I can for this world while I still can."
Senju Tobirama slowly lowered his head, painfully closing his eyes where Aomi couldn't see.
Why...
Why, despite his intellect that astonished the Ninja World, can't he think of a way to alleviate Aomi's burdens?
"Kisame, Kaguya Kimijiro, come here..."
Aomi looked at their determined faces, speaking words they hadn't anticipated:
"Would you two be willing to become the new Hidden Mist Jinchuriki?"
"I will personally seal you both, using my powerful Fuinjutsu."
