Aomi pretended to seal for a reason.
On one hand, it was naturally to rationalize his motives, allowing Senju Tobirama to finish the final confrontation while providing him the Mangekyo Dojutsu in the process.
But more importantly, it was because of the Six Paths Sage!
As well as the Otsutsuki to whom Kaguya had once launched a surprise attack, and Otsutsuki Isshiki whose state in the Ninja World was unknown...
The Six Paths Sage, possessing the power to grant Naruto and Sasuke the Yin and Yang Power, allowed them to stand their ground in their battle against Six Paths Uchiha Madara, even having the tendency to steadily overpower him.
In Aomi's view, it was difficult for Uchiha Madara to contend with the duo possessing the Six Paths Chibaku Tensei...
And if Aomi wishes to substitute Tobirama with Kaguya, would this attract the attention of the Six Paths Sage?
Aomi did not know, but if he truly got the Six Paths Sage's attention, then his self-sealing would serve as a protective amulet against the Six Paths Sage's response—"I'm not trying to resurrect Kaguya, I'm making efforts to seal..."
And given the Six Paths Sage's character, he wouldn't take action until the very moment of Kaguya's revival.
Otherwise, in the original timeline when the Ten-tails revived, the Six Paths Sage could have simply sealed it again using the Six Paths Chibaku Tensei.
Why else would the events have unfolded as they did?
Undoubtedly powerful, the Six Paths Sage's actions were also strongly constrained...
Besides the Six Paths Sage, Otsutsuki Isshiki was also a figure whom Aomi dreaded.
Though not in complete form, Otsutsuki Isshiki possessed a small Ten-tails and the ability to unleash peak power through the Wedge Seal.
The formidable force that once kicked through the Complete Form of Susanoo is not to be underestimated.
As an Otsutsuki, Isshiki wielded space-system jutsu, and once he set his sights on you, he was not easy to handle; Kamui and the Flying Thunder God Jutsu were no longer invincible techniques.
Otsutsuki Kaguya was not Senju Tobirama, she had far too many pursuers.
Aomi needed to prepare thoroughly if he wanted to win her heart, thereby having enough time and setting to create encounters for the two of them.
If Otsutsuki Isshiki were to sense Kaguya's aura...
In his incomplete state, would he aim to refine his old enemy into Chakra Pill to complete himself?
Most likely, yes.
But it didn't matter, for Aomi knew that Otsutsuki Isshiki, in his incomplete state, was like someone who had opened the Death Gate in the Array of Eight Gates, having only one chance to explode...
And on Aomi's side, Might Duy aligned perfectly with this.
This was a crucial drama for Aomi to crack open Otsutsuki Kaguya's heart...
A humankind deemed untrustworthy, yet with a mortal body swore to protect Aomi to death, exploding with power rivaling the Six Paths, a force that even Kaguya had once feared!
Aomi looked forward to seeing Otsutsuki Kaguya's expression at that moment...
He also eagerly anticipated the sparks that would fly once Otsutsuki Isshiki and Might Duy faced off against each other.
And at the moment when Might Duy erupted with power, what new power would be bestowed upon him through the "Youth Support of the Might Father and Son"...
"Duy, until that day comes, prepare diligently..."
Aomi made a promise in his heart to this nursing home guardian: "Fight with all you've got, I won't let you die."

Ninja World Alliance Command.
The leaders of the various Hidden Villages gathered together.
"Since everyone could make it here, this battle is still able to go on..."
It was the Third Raikage who spoke first, this strong man glanced at Onoki, not mocking the past enemy who had Aomi kill ten thousand people and two Jinchuriki but said gravely:
"Onoki has provided many crucial pieces of intelligence for the alliance, indeed, Uchiha Aomi wields extremely terrifying strength, along with Konoha's flying unit, these all brought us a lot of trouble..."
"I have to admit, given Uchiha Aomi's current age, if we don't deal with him now, with his ruthless nature, in a few years we will face an even more extreme Uchiha Madara without the checks of Senju Hashirama."
"When that day comes, our only option would be to submit."
The atmosphere was very heavy, as this was a fact that could not be denied.
But the problem was – no one wanted to be conquered!
Onoki took over the conversation from the Third Raikage, his eyes shining with unprecedented determination, "The Will of Stone passed down by Hidden Rock is not for us to surrender in the face of a formidable enemy!"
"I've fought Uchiha Aomi. He's far from reaching the realm of Uchiha Madara. What's most troublesome about him is having an intellect similar to Senju Tobirama, anticipating many jutsu unknown to us, catching us off guard..."
"But now, we are prepared!"
"Those clay bombs derived from Explosion Release are countered by Lightning Release, and with our numerical advantage, we can specifically prepare a unit for air defense."
"The poison bombs, Hidden Sand's Chiyo and Hidden Rain's Hanzo are skilled in this area; we can either detoxify or counter it..."
"In any case, with an army of eighty thousand against ten thousand, the advantage is ours!"
The Third Kazekage nodded:
"If it comes to large-scale warfare, my Magnet Release and Rasa can deprive the enemy of their iron ninja tools, Hidden Sand's puppets can provide our allies with safe attack routes, also offering defense during bombings..."
"As for toxin warfare, I don't think Konoha can surpass our village's Elder Chiyo, the genius puppet master Sasori, and of course, Lord Hanzo."
Hanzo spoke now, "My Salamander took care of Sarutobi Hiruzen's three disciples together!"
Onoki relaxed internally as he noted the relatively high morale.
Evidently, neither the Third Kazekage nor Hanzo possessed the keen perception of that Lightning Raikage from Hidden Cloud...
They hadn't encountered Aomi's daunting characteristics and might be underestimating him?
But considering the forces, the Ninja Alliance Army truly had no reason to lose.
Onoki, the Third Raikage, the Two-tails and Eight-tails Jinchuriki, the Third Kazekage, and Hanzo, these were six solid battlefield weaponries.
In addition, there were Kitsuchi, the Fourth Raikage, Pakura, Chiyo, Rasa, Sasori, and the Seven-tails from Hidden Waterfall, multiple forces possessing, or nearing Kage Level strength...
And the overwhelming ordinary troops!
The Third Raikage surveyed everyone, patted the table, and spoke solemnly, "Everyone, remember how a traitorous ninja from our village killed Senju Tobirama?"
"It was with the Six Paths Treasure Tools..."
The Third Raikage reassured the Ninja Alliance Army with, "This time, to eliminate our common threat, I will bring out all the Six Paths Treasure Tools to deal with Uchiha Aomi, the Flying Thunder God Jutsu User, and exert every effort to kill him!"
"I also urge everyone to unite, our first war with Konoha was not smooth, but as long as we stand together, they are not formidable!"
Onoki's eyes flashed, "I propose that the commanders from each village form a special unit to target and eliminate Uchiha Aomi!"
————
"Really quite a well-thought-out plan, amongst these ninjas, there are indeed talents worth noting..."
The Ninja Alliance Army's plan, under the monitoring of White Zetsu, was known to Uchiha Izuna and the others clearly.
The impending targeting towards Aomi had even Uchiha Izuna somewhat surprised—wasn't this level just akin to what his brother faced?
Thinking for a moment, Uchiha Izuna made a decision, "Since they don't need our assistance and dare to declare war, then let's not expose ourselves for now..."
"Let the Five Kage strike first; if they manage to suppress Aomi, we can suddenly strike to save him and preserve his life..."
"If they fail to subdue him, that means Senju Tobirama still holds a trump card; let others first figure out his details."
Uchiha Izuna looked towards Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito, who seemed hesitant to speak, and placed a reassuring hand on their shoulders, softly saying:
"Don't worry, nobody knows Senju Tobirama better than I do!"
