Uchiha Aomi crushed their hearts with his grip, shattered their bodies with each punch, and sent Urashiki and Momoshiki flying into the Dead Sea...
Everyone thought they were surely dead in the Ninja World.
Aomi just needed to catch up and deliver a few more cuts, and Urashiki and Momoshiki would definitely die at his hands...
But the problem was, Aomi didn't...
Under the sea, with the superior vision of combining the Rinnegan with the Byakugan, Momoshiki and Urashiki still saw a scene where Aomi had conflicts with the people of Ninja World...
They couldn't hear the details of the conversation, but they could see it had taken on a hostile trend.
Therefore, Aomi did not pursue and kill Urashiki and Momoshiki, giving the two a chance to survive and escape, narrowly opening a dimension portal and reuniting with Isshiki, who was previously sent there by Momoshiki.
But Isshiki's situation was not much better than Momoshiki and Urashiki's...
Logically speaking, although Isshiki was in a seriously injured state, he had also found a relatively suitable vessel, one that Momoshiki and Urashiki had handled...
Setting aside how much strength he could exert, Isshiki should have at least gained control of Uchiha Obito's body.
But he hadn't.
Even as the Wedge's black markings covered Uchiha Obito's body, the body would occasionally break free from Isshiki's control, attempting to attack Momoshiki and Urashiki, or choke its own neck, roaring with fury:
"With Aomi's power, there is no way I'll be possessed by your despicable vermin! Die!"
This shocked the Otsutsuki...
Could a mere mortal resist the possession of three Otsutsuki combined? The issue lay in the fact that after Aomi fixed Isshiki with a gaze, he seemed to have transmitted his Chakra to Uchiha Obito...
With just the power sent through that gaze, Uchiha Obito stubbornly resisted Isshiki's erosion, even showing signs of turning the tables.
No way, what level of existence is this Aomi?
"The Wedge's power cannot completely erode this body; Uchiha Aomi's Chakra is already indistinguishable from an Otsutsuki. If you sense the Chakra in my body carefully, it's almost like the sum of all the Otsutsuki appearing in front of him..."
During a rare lull in Uchiha Obito's struggles, an extremely aggravated Isshiki spoke up quietly, "You said Uchiha Aomi used my 'Sukunahikona,' and that makes total sense..."
"That bastard's Dojutsu is definitely related to mimicking... Whether it's Dojutsu or bloodlines, perhaps even while hidden in the sarcophagus, he silently targeted us as subjects for his techniques!"
"In other words, he's already a full-fledged Otsutsuki! And one that has fused the bloodlines of five Otsutsuki..."
Urashiki and Momoshiki listened with extremely grim expressions after hearing Isshiki's analysis.
Just as they had anticipated...
In even darker humor, after Isshiki finished analyzing, his body uncontrollably twisted again, angry roars erupting from his throat:
"How dare you insult Aomi as a bastard? You invaders are the real bastards!"
Urashiki and Momoshiki took a deep breath.
Is this Isshiki possessing Uchiha Obito? Why does it feel like Uchiha Obito is possessing Isshiki...
After much turmoil, Isshiki managed to suppress Uchiha Obito once again.
"According to what you said, Uchiha Aomi can instantly drain the Natural Energy from the ocean, then turn against the mortals of the Ninja World; all of this indicates his transformation towards an Otsutsuki..."
Isshiki clutched his chest, the black markings on his body growing more intense, as he both resisted Uchiha Obito and said, "The Otsutsuki bloodline will naturally incite a craving for power in living beings!"
"Uchiha Aomi, with Chakra akin to ours, would never remain bound by the mundane emotions of mortals. He will realize that the universe's sole purpose is infinite evolution until attaining eternal life..."
"I've thought through the entire situation... Uchiha Aomi accidentally sealed Kaguya, and since Kaguya hadn't fully controlled this body, during the battle with the two of you, the mentally shaken Kaguya was reverse-possessed by Uchiha Aomi!"
"This allowed a mere mortal like Uchiha Aomi to obtain Kaguya's power, making his Dojutsu capable of replicating bloodlines and abilities target Otsutsuki, otherwise, it's impossible for a mortal's Dojutsu to capture Otsutsuki strength..."
Isshiki slowly exhaled a long breath, shaking his head with a wry smile:
"Afterwards, Uchiha Aomi replicated the bloodlines of five Otsutsuki, including Kaguya, using his Dojutsu... Truly a meteoric rise!"
"Not just my 'Sukunahikona,' but also your 'Takamimusubinokami,' Kinshiki's 'Nami no Kami,' Urashiki's 'Time Reversal,' he's probably already copied them all!"
Momoshiki and Urashiki nodded silently, their spirits heavy.
They agreed with Isshiki's analysis.
But behind that agreement lay awe, fear, and an involuntary envy of Aomi...
Uchiha Aomi had a formidable Dojutsu! Yet, even with such Dojutsu, without great opportunity, it would merely mean replicating some Kekkeigenkai and Ninjutsu among mortals, not considered overly powerful...
Replicating endless mortal techniques would still result in a debacle before the Otsutsuki.
But Aomi managed to pull Kaguya, the easiest to deal with among the Otsutsuki, into his own being!
