Even though Senju Tobirama had prestige in Konoha, perhaps he could still gather a group of people due to the inertia of having ruled the village for twenty years...
But it certainly wouldn't include the Uchiha Clan and Root, and might even have some ninjas who once stood with the Hokage choosing to oppose Senju Tobirama for the Will of Fire, justice, and morality in people's hearts!
When the time comes for both sides to fight hard, such a level of conflict would be far from comparable to the Uchiha Clan's rebellion.
In Sarutobi Hiruzen's view...
If it comes to that moment, Konoha will certainly be shattered to pieces.
What's even more terrifying is that the Will of Fire, which Konoha ninjas have always believed in, will become a joke, and the hearts of the people will no longer unite.
The Hokage has become so deceitful and despicable; is there any security left in this village?
Sarutobi Hiruzen absolutely doesn't want to see this scene!
"I wonder if Aomi has been completely devoured by Sensei, or if there's still a chance to save him..."
"With Sensei's methods and disposition, him appearing here represents a high likelihood that Aomi is already gone..."
While imagining the terrifying scene of Konoha splitting, Sarutobi Hiruzen gradually grew a sense of courage.
He couldn't continue to endure Sensei's tyranny any longer...
Even if Senju Tobirama, the Second Hokage, made a mistake, it must be corrected!
Although the wrong things were irreparable, Aomi had already been harmed by the Former Hokage's greed...
However, if he, as the Third Hokage, sacrificed his life and used the strongest Fuinjutsu Dead Demon Consuming Seal to take away Senju Tobirama...
Maybe the ninjas in the village could somewhat accept it?
As this thought emerged, Sarutobi Hiruzen recalled Shimura Danzo, who was crippled by Senju Tobirama.
"Sensei Tobirama, you've become unrecognizable; you're no longer the respectable Hokage who backed us up..."
"I'm not just your disciple, I'm also Konoha Village's Third Hokage, and I have responsibilities to bear!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen silently recalled the jutsu of Dead Demon Consuming Seal in his heart, his brows furrowed.
The jutsu required too many seals!
If he were to perform it in front of Senju Tobirama, not to mention possessing such powerful Aomi...
Even Senju Tobirama himself was a tough opponent.
With the might of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, Sarutobi Hiruzen had no confidence he could complete the seals successfully in front of his Sensei!
Sarutobi Hiruzen was certain Senju Tobirama could instantly see what kind of Kinjutsu he wanted to unleash...
Then, what could he do?
He still needed help...
And just at this moment.
Senju Tobirama spoke: "Monkey, the situation is very urgent right now, I won't say much to you..."
"I need to meet Aomi's subordinates, you lead me to find them, and after communicating, let the whole village re-enter wartime status, we have no time to delay!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart trembled.
Go find the trusted ninjas of Aomi first...
The intent was obvious, Sensei Tobirama was going to eliminate his threats one by one!
Having obtained Aomi's power and mastering both the Flying Thunder God Jutsu and Sharingan, Senju Tobirama was already an unbeatable existence in one-on-one.
Although Aomi occupied the hearts of people in Konoha...
As long as they weren't allowed to gather into a collective force difficult to confront head-on, eliminating them one by one...
Then for Senju Tobirama, there wouldn't be much threat!
But by that time, Konoha might become an even more terrifying Blood Mist Village...
Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind spun like lightning.
Suddenly, he recalled that Asuma had once told him the ninjas most close to and strongest with Aomi were gathered at Aomi's house, always waiting for him to come back, wanting to make up for a birthday party as a surprise.
Yes!
Sarutobi Hiruzen realized he had found a way to break the stalemate.
As long as he brought Senju Tobirama to Aomi's house, then the elimination individually wouldn't occur!
Especially since it's still within the Uchiha Clan Land, upon seeing Senju Tobirama, one shout for aid would bring a lot of reinforcements...
And as long as someone delays him, Sarutobi Hiruzen still had confidence to successfully unleash Dead Demon Consuming Seal, under everyone's teamwork, sealing Sensei Tobirama who had strayed down the path of evil, along with the Former Hokage!
"I understand, Lord Tobirama."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, sternly said, "Please follow me this way, everyone should be at Aomi's house now..."
Silently, fine beads of sweat appeared in Sarutobi Hiruzen's palms.
Plotting against Senju Tobirama, this was the first time he had done such a thing.
But it was also something Sarutobi Hiruzen had to do for Aomi, the village, and the Will of Fire in his heart!
Senju Tobirama nodded slightly, followed closely behind Sarutobi Hiruzen, quickly heading towards Aomi's house.
And prior to them.
After a day and night of hesitancy and sleeplessness, Tsunade was also heading to Aomi's house at this moment.
The previous hesitation was because Tsunade, despite having long been fond of Aomi, was somewhat embarrassed due to the apparent identity restrictions...
When Aomi actively embraced her, vigorously pushing the progress forward.
Tsunade instead felt a bit unprepared, even somewhat self-doubting, fearing she misread the intentions.
Does Aomi really like her?
Surely not averse, but Tsunade's concern was that Aomi was kind and friendly to everyone, she wasn't particularly special...
But after settling herself for a day...
