Sarutobi Hiruzen's words were remarkably wise.
After Senju Tobirama committed an unforgivable crime...
As Konoha's Third Hokage and Senju Tobirama's foremost disciple, Sarutobi Hiruzen chose not to cover up.
Instead, he was the first to step forward, to expose and denounce, standing at the forefront of the crowd, showing his stance to atone for his teacher with his life!
Konoha, shrouded in ominous clouds, could finally glimpse some light through this ultimate reversal.
As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen's subsequent performance is sufficiently dedicated, then the people's faith in Konoha won't crumble too severely.
In fact, Sarutobi Hiruzen has already decided to use the Dead Demon Consuming Seal!
At this moment.
In the Forest of Death, everyone stared at Senju Tobirama with an intense hatred, wishing to devour his flesh and wear his skin!
Upon hearing this devastating news, Shisui couldn't even stand upright.
His eyes fixed on the power of Aomi reflected in Senju Tobirama's crimson eyes, his mind filled with images and smiles of his brother...
He didn't even get to see him one last time!
Why, oh why does this world have to be so cruel and heartless!
In a flash, Shisui recalled Aomi's often-spoken words to him— "Shisui, you possess much untouched potential, the future is yours."
The future still exists, yet Aomi does not.
And as a simple Three-Tomoe, even though Shisui has some talent, how can he help Aomi?
Potential, potential...
What is the use of potential, really?
What Shisui needs now is the strength to help Aomi, immediate combat power!
And just now, Sarutobi Hiruzen said — "Taking down Senju Tobirama now, Aomi might still be saved..."
What originally seemed a strategic comment, to Shisui it was like clinging to a lifeline, holding onto that notion firmly in his heart!
There is hope, my brother can still be saved!
Under such intense emotional stimulation, the Three-Tomoe in Shisui's eyes rapidly began to evolve, displaying flames-like patterns!
The Uchiha Clan's Mangekyo Sharingan, at this moment, gained another pair...
Experiencing the immense power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, Shisui didn't have the time for a signature hysterical laugh; instead, his heart raced!
The power of this Dojutsu seems to reflect his thoughts...
Across from him, Senju Tobirama saw the reactions of the people from Konoha; usually unflappable, even in the face of crumbling mountains, he found it hard to keep composed.
Normally, the monkey governs the village poorly, but when facing off against him, his mobilization ability becomes remarkably strong?
He also stands directly on the front line, becoming the lead warrior.
Senju Tobirama had many reasons to complain; in the past, Konoha's criticisms of Sarutobi Hiruzen involved accusations of him not being active in battles after becoming Hokage, rarely personally fighting like other village leaders from Hidden Villages.
Now look, you're the first to charge up against your own mentor!
And Shisui's bloody, tear-filled eyes also told Senju Tobirama— everyone believes Sarutobi Hiruzen...
Even Aomi's brother and Tsunade acted like this; how could others act differently?
At this moment, Senju Tobirama felt extremely aggrieved!
The theory Sarutobi Hiruzen proposed about Aomi being a Kinjutsu creation wasn't entirely fabricated...
It stemmed from Uzumaki Mito's judgment during her lifetime.
During that time, the unconscious Aomi and Senju Tobirama both heard this perspective; Senju Tobirama was sweating heavily, almost believing it was true...
Senju Tobirama had to explain to Aomi for quite some time before overcoming this hurdle.
But being misunderstood can't all be blamed on Uzumaki Mito.
This legendary female Sealing Ninja had already pointed out to Sarutobi Hiruzen the crux of the issue—Aomi wasn't controlled by Senju Tobirama.
Her reasons were compelling as well.
With the capabilities of Tobirama, Aomi couldn't have grown to a teenager with self-awareness...
Unfortunately...
At that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't heed Uzumaki Mito's objective analysis, but instead followed his idea recklessly, adding conjecture to a wrong logical path, which ultimately evolved into today's misunderstanding...
After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's accusations, Senju Tobirama quickly discerned where the problem lay.
Just as he was about to explain, Shisui's shout abruptly interrupted Senju Tobirama's defense after Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"We still have a chance to save my brother!"
Shisui shouted fiercely, "The Dojutsu: Futodama of my left eye can restore the vitality of the soul and body!"
"Everyone, as long as there's a trace of life left in my brother, I will spare no effort in using my ocular power to bring him back!"
"And..."
Shisui looked at Senju Tobirama with hatred, saying solemnly, "I will unleash all my potential, burn myself to kill you!"
The reason Shisui spoke this way.
Was due to the Dojutsu: Kuramitsuha in his right eye, which can forcibly unleash the latent strength within him!
Not only applicable to himself, but also effective on others...
In the Ninja World's mythological tales, Izanagi used the Sword of Totsuka to slay Kagutsuchi, the blood at the sword's hilt and on his fingers formed Kuramitsuha, representing anger and destruction.
Everyone felt joy at the words of Shisui.
The possible salvation of Aomi had increased significantly!
Senju Tobirama kept trying to pacify the people, but Sarutobi Hiruzen's Shadow Clone Jutsu had already appeared on the battlefield!
"Protect Shisui well!"
Five of Sarutobi Hiruzen's shadow clones swiftly formed seals, a man once called the Ninja Hero and Ninja Doctor, exceptionally skilled in Five Release Ninjutsu, instantly unleashed five Chakra Attribute strikes!
