Powerful, swift speed, magnificent swordsmanship...
Aomi staged a bloody show, demonstrating just how fragile the human body is and how easy it is for life to fade away.
The so-called Jonin were originally the elite of each Hidden Village, the backbone of their nations, elite among elites, chosen from hundreds...
Even in the selection of a village's Kage, they held significant sway.
But on today's battlefield, a Jonin was merely a pig slaughtered with ease, indistinguishable from a Chunin or Genin.
Because in front of Aomi, they were nothing but targets to be killed in a single strike or punch.
Shisui and Asuma stared blankly at Aomi's massacre, their eyes filled with confusion.
Isn't it true, brother, was Aomi always this strong?
The two who hadn't attended the combat meetings initially thought Aomi was baiting the enemy and that this was an ambush relying on strategic bombing with flying squads or the cooperation of comrades...
But who would have thought that Aomi, who was always calm and resourceful, would go for the approach of "overwhelming force breaking through countless strategies" today!
He really intends to single-handedly tear through the Ninja Army...
"Hey, Asuma, do you think my Instant Body Jutsu will one day catch up to brother's?" Shisui strained his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, trying to track Aomi's movements, and then asked in frustration.
Asuma remained expressionless: "I don't know, but I do know that to Aomi, we're already useless..."
"I was still proud of mastering a few high-tier Fire Releases, and you were quite pleased with your newly developed Instant Body Jutsu, but Aomi can single-handedly charge into the Ninja Alliance Army..."
"How can people with talents like you and me ever stand beside Aomi?"
Asuma sunk into depression, which also brought down Shisui beside him.
Yet, they couldn't help but cheer feverishly at Aomi's superb killing techniques, only to dip right back into gloom...
Constantly switching between these emotions.
Meanwhile, amid the ranks of the Ninja Alliance Army, Aomi's slaughter continued.
Fear gradually seeped into everyone's hearts.
From the start of the war to now, who knows how many enemies Aomi's blade and fists have torn apart, but he hasn't been struck once...
How can you possibly defeat such an enemy?
At this moment, several Jonin of the Ninja Alliance Army exchanged glances, their eyes shifting towards the ample supply of Explosive Tags inside their Ninja Tool Bags...
Their mission was to wear down Aomi's stamina and chakra, to make him reveal more of his jutsu, so that the Kage coming later would be familiar with his combat style, ensuring a decisive strike that would topple Aomi...
Yet, up till now, Aomi arrogantly tore through the entire Ninja Army's defense lines using nothing but Taijutsu.
Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Dojutsu...
He hasn't used any, not even activating his Sharingan—his eyes remain a plain black.
"Pretentious bastard!"
Remembering how his comrade was slain by Aomi, the Hidden Rock Jonin Kakou's fury overcame his bodily fear, stealthily attaching the Explosive Tags from his pocket to his inner armor.
If he used Ninjutsu, with Aomi's speed, it would be too easy for him to dodge.
But if engaged in close combat using Taijutsu, Aomi, always using Taijutsu in his fights, would inevitably draw near!
In such close quarters, the sheer number of Explosive Tags promises to blast Aomi!
Seeing Kakou's actions, the Hidden Rock Jonin Sumashi, Hidden Sand Jonin Yura, Hidden Cloud Jonin, and others immediately mimicked him, each preparing to let this arrogant Uchiha taste their resolve!
It's actually kind of pathetic...
Their lives are just used to prevent Aomi from fighting solely with Taijutsu!
But that's as far as their efforts can reach...
In these Ninja Alliance Jonin's view, if the Explosive Tags could blast Aomi, it would be worth it indeed.
A Ninja is fragile...
Aside from outliers like the Third and Fourth Raikage who perfected the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, even renowned Ninjas like Onoki and the Third Kazekage wouldn't fare well in a close-range Explosive Tag blast.
If timed right, they could even end up disabled.
For instance, in the original timeline, Nagato, possessing the invincible Rinnegan, had his legs blown off by Hanzo's Explosive Tag technique, the Detonating Flame Array.
Over a dozen Jonin sprinted swiftly, charging towards Aomi from all directions, their eyes showing a resolve to die...
"Go to Hell!" they roared.
Aomi chuckled lightly and nodded as if in admiration, as a red glint flashed in his eyes, surveying his surroundings.
The self-detonating Jonin, in an attempt to lock onto Aomi's figure, forgot the unbreakable rule of never making eye contact with a Uchiha.
Thus, in their eyes appeared the terrifying Tomoe...
Thud!
Thud!
The Ninjas covered in Explosive Tags suddenly halted their charge, falling to their knees abruptly.
Aomi slowly headed towards the Ninja Alliance Army, surrounded by Jonin from various villages, kneeling around him.
He was the only one moving forward.
Yet the entire Ninja Alliance Army simultaneously retreated, keeping their heads down, not daring to meet those calm, scarlet eyes.
Aomi chuckled softly and snapped his fingers.
Boom!!
The ninjas, intending to self-destruct with Aomi, activated their Explosive Tags with a reckless resolve after the snap, blowing themselves up on the spot!
Hundreds of Explosive Tags erupted into towering flames, smoke lingering on the battlefield, the aftermath winds tugged at Aomi's stark white hair...
