It has nothing to do with romance.
But looking at Tsunade and the other Konoha ninjas, it seems there might be a misunderstanding?
"Teacher, you've never had a partner in your life, so you really don't understand what romance is all about! You focus too much on studying those Kinjutsu, and you lack too much in this area..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought to himself, with two sons and a wife: "You're not inhabiting your own body but Aomi's..."
"When Tsunade finds out you're trying to possess someone, I, as your disciple, really can't help you clean up this mess. This is a family matter!"
Although Konoha won, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was quite abstract.
Though the expression was mostly a smile, his eyebrows were furrowing downwards in worry.
The village will surely be in chaos, there might even be a bloody suppression!
When the Uchiha Clan, Tsunade, or even Asuma, Might Guy, Might Duy learn what Senju Tobirama did...
Will they rebel?
Sarutobi Hiruzen dared not imagine that scene; justice and truth, along with the Will of Fire, do not stand on Senju Tobirama's side!
But looking at Aomi's murderous tactics and ruthlessness...
Sarutobi Hiruzen truly could not believe that was the gentle and courteous Aomi...
Then who else could it be?
There's only one answer: it must be Senju Tobirama subtly influencing, or even controlling Aomi!
Being able to leave a few shadows, preventing the Ninja World from descending into complete chaos and massacre, might all be due to Aomi striving against Senju Tobirama, achieving merely an outcome of being ridiculed by using the name of the "Sannin"...
The more Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it, the more he broke into a cold sweat.
Towards his old mentor Senju Tobirama...
Over the years of gradually understanding him, Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer hesitated to assume the worst possible intentions.
He even used Kinjutsu to create and seize descendants of the Uchiha!
Whatever other outrageous deeds he did, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not be surprised in the least.
But as if his thoughts had been heard, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked up to find Aomi standing beside him.
"Tobi... Aomi-kun!" Sarutobi Hiruzen stammered a greeting.
"The war is over, Hiruzen…"
Aomi glanced at everyone, noticing something unusual, and asked in a calm voice, "Where is Shimura Danzo?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart tightened.
Indeed, the teacher's family law is that strict!
Even though he and Danzo resisted on the Hidden Sand Battlefield, they ultimately failed to achieve spectacular results.
After this war ends, the internal reckoning won't stop.
Just look at the Uchiha Clan...
The teacher has been at odds with them for so many years, even in death, there's no peace, not even as a lingering spirit...
No, he had persistently used Kinjutsu to possess Aomi, such a vengeful person!
"Danzo is just behind..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen turned to look for Shimura Danzo, initially wanting to say a few good words for his old partner, but found he couldn't find him!
Where is he...
Where is he!
In an instant, Sarutobi Hiruzen broke into a sweat; just days ago, Orochimaru tried to seize Aomi's body, could Shimura Danzo have cowardly fled now?
Based on Sarutobi Hiruzen's knowledge of Shimura Danzo...
Seeing the teacher's terrifying presence on the battlefield, he might indeed panic and do something irrational!
Sure enough, Sarutobi Hiruzen anxiously looked around, even using Ninjutsu to sense Shimura Danzo's Chakra, still couldn't locate his old friend within Konoha's ranks.
He really ran!
"This... this..." Sarutobi Hiruzen mumbled, unsure how to explain this to Aomi, or rather Senju Tobirama.
Aomi shook his head, "Someone will come to you to handle this matter, be mentally prepared."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, the Root?
Regardless, he must align with the teacher's plans...
This time, he cannot afford any leniency towards Shimura Danzo!
Otherwise, even his atoning self might be included in the teacher's reckoning...
The sinister flames of Senju Tobirama's Evil Fire Will, Sarutobi Hiruzen never doubted its power!
What Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't expect was...
The person Aomi referred to wasn't from Root.
But rather Senju Tobirama himself would return to Konoha, from zero score Fire Will exams, to Shimura Danzo's filth and treason in the Root, Orochimaru, as his disciple, trying to seize Aomi...
Thoroughly and intensely clear things up!
Aomi turned, looking at Shisui, Asuma waving to him, Tsunade wanting to continue chatting with him, and Hatake Sakumo, Kakuzu, Aburame Torune smiling at him...
He glanced heavily at each of them, then said to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Organize everyone to return to the village, I have important matters to handle here..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen, closest to Aomi, clearly sensed an unstable sign in Aomi's Chakra.
The nimble-minded Third Hokage immediately understood—it was Senju Tobirama exerting force!
While knowing this is colluding with the sinister, feeling remorse but obliged to comply, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded helplessly, thinking to himself, "I'm sorry, Aomi!"
"But I'll do my best to protect Shisui, even if he did some extreme things because of Lord Tobirama..."
Aomi's figure vanished on the spot.
Sarutobi Hiruzen cleared his throat and faced the puzzled crowd, "Aomi still needs to deal with matters on the battlefield! Let's head back to the village first..."
