Senju Tobirama snorted unhappily, "Of course, those prophetic toads have long been eyeing Aomi..."
"If Mount Myoboku attempts to invade Konoha, there might be room for negotiation later if they are willing to help the Ninja World. Otherwise, I will definitely hold them accountable!" Senju Tobirama's tone was icy.
The Six Paths Sage's eyes lit up. He wasn't concerned with Senju Tobirama's assessment of Mount Myoboku...
In the eyes of the Six Paths Sage, this Mangekyo-wielding Senju was even more extreme than the average Uchiha. He had been unfairly critical for so long and still wouldn't let go!
The key point was that Gamamaru's prophecy truly had a connection with Aomi!
"Focus on unity..." The Six Paths Sage reminded, interrupting Senju Tobirama, and glanced around at the others, "Do any of you know the specific description of the Child of Prophecy by Mount Myoboku?"
Senju Tobirama squinted his eyes but remained silent.
Since half of the Six Paths Sage's reputation had been restored, they still needed his continued support, so it was inappropriate to make things tense.
Furthermore, at this moment, with Namikaze Minato and Jiraiya not present, no one seemed to know the exact narration from Mount Myoboku, only that it vaguely involved Aomi.
"This is important..."
The Six Paths Sage emphasized once again, "Do not hold prejudice against Mount Myoboku; when I defeated Kaguya back in the day, they also greatly contributed."
Senju Tobirama glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said casually, "Monkey, do you not even know this? I can see you're completely unable to control your snake disciple, and now your toad disciple as well?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen shivered slightly.
He actually did know Mount Myoboku's specific standpoint. Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato had once come to the Hokage Office to seek his support, only to be reprimanded by him.
But seeing Senju Tobirama's demeanor, Sarutobi Hiruzen initially chose silence.
His own mentor quarreling with Uchiha Izuna indeed made both outsiders, and on the premise of uniting to save Aomi, it was crucial to maintain basic decorum...
But he was different.
As a disciple of Senju Tobirama, Sarutobi Hiruzen was very sure that if he proactively came forward to talk in detail about Mount Myoboku, as if reciting it fluently, he would definitely be marked by Senju Tobirama!
Especially after recently being scolded by Orochimaru, all the blame was attributed to him...
The mistake was the disciple's, but the master had to pay for it.
"Possessing multiple powers, desiring peace, yet inadvertently starting war, the Child of Prophecy emerging from taboos..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen tried hard to recall Jiraiya's words and slowly spoke, "Roughly like this, but there might be uncertainties. We can return to Konoha to confirm with Jiraiya."
"Six Paths Sage, if Mount Myoboku is familiar with you, could you also ask them to take action?"
After Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking.
The Six Paths Sage unexpectedly showed a look of delight, stroked his long beard, and said, "Good! Such a Child of Prophecy coming out of taboos, desiring peace yet bringing war..."
"No wonder it's Gamamaru; his prophecies are always so precise!"
Senju Tobirama furrowed his brows, seemingly pondering over related aspects.
These toads indeed seemed to have some mystique?
Overall, the prophecy indicated that Aomi could bring peace but also destruction, and only through the regulation by Mount Myoboku's power could things progress properly...
And if Mount Myoboku is substituted by Ninja World, it indeed corresponds to the current situation!
"A prophecy is merely some vaguely spoken babble, deliberately obscuring details to let listeners fill in the gaps, just matching certain situations."
"Toads are just toads, but..."
Senju Tobirama noted the smile at the corner of the Six Paths Sage's mouth, said nothing out loud, and returned with an accommodating smile.
Believing is beneficial if the Six Paths Sage does.
Because if he believes, naturally he will exert more effort!
"Teacher, shouldn't we use the Will of Fire to unite everyone..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen noted Senju Tobirama's smile, felt relieved, and tried to engage by saying, "Where the leaves of Konoha dance, the fire burns eternally... Aomi's life is dedicated to the Ninja World... Perhaps this is the key to awakening Aomi?"
Senju Tobirama's expression instantly darkened to the extreme.
After Sarutobi Hiruzen mentioned the four words, Will of Fire, Uchiha Izuna almost burst into laughter.
This truly was the episode with the most Will of Fire...
The previous Hokage Assistant Shimura Danzo, who chanted the Will of Fire, was even personally incinerated by Senju Tobirama to cleanse the ranks!
"Monkey, I'll tell you for the last time, discussing Will of Fire inside the village and Ninja School is fine, but don't bring it outside, understand!"
Senju Tobirama's Mangekyo, filled with crimson, fixated on Sarutobi Hiruzen, he scolded in a low voice, "Understood? Words full of will, but heart full of trade, such superficial things should not be brought to the forefront!"
"Let me tell you, due to your erroneous advocacy, if I hadn't intervened, Aomi would've been led astray by this lousy Will of Fire even without the Otsutsuki's Chakra erosion!"
"I understand, I understand..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen bowed his head in embarrassment, secretly deciding not to talk to this old coot anymore, having been with Aomi for so long; besides wielding a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan, he didn't learn any emotional intelligence or manners...
He realized, his own people were the easiest to bully... Once again the rage was directed at him, what bad luck!
"What exactly is this Will of Fire?" The Six Paths Sage, with keen hearing, turned to Sarutobi Hiruzen who shared critical information, curiously inquired:
"Does it also relate to the Child of Prophecy?"
"It's not important, it's not important..." Senju Tobirama repeatedly waved his hand, covering the mouth that sought to explain the Will of Fire to the Six Paths Sage, deeply inhaling amid the playful gazes of the other Hidden Villages, said:
"Six Paths Sage, since the general tone is set, we should move on to the main agenda!"
"How should we unite to oppose Aomi then? Frankly, each of you must undergo significant enhancement to stand on equal footing to combat Aomi."
Senju Tobirama spoke bluntly, "To start, everyone must master the Immortal Technique! And Aomi doesn't give us much time, so Six Paths Sage, you need to figure something out without affecting your combat ability."
Senju Tobirama turned his gaze to Otsutsuki Hamura, "You can do the same, right? Brother of the Six Paths Sage..."
The Six Paths Sage and his brother exchanged a glance, nodding at each other.
Their condition wasn't suitable for direct combat, and it truly would be best to imbue others with their power...
These brothers' combat skills, although slightly superior to Kaguya, were still limited, having lacked actual combat for centuries, they were more suited as benefactors rather than frontline fighters.
"Leave augmenting your combat abilities to me and Hamura, we will spare no effort..."
The Six Paths Sage, with solemnity, surveyed everyone, finally focusing on Senju Tobirama, "Kid, although I mind your disparagement..."
"But you're considered the most tactically astute, and you also share a unique bond with Aomi."
"How to battle against Aomi, this task is entrusted to you!"
Senju Tobirama snorted coldly, but observing the serious expression in the Six Paths Sage's Rinnegan, he hesitated briefly before extending his hand:
"Pleasure collaborating, for the Ninja World."
"For the Ninja World, pleasure collaborating." The hands of the Six Paths Sage and Senju Tobirama clasped together, marking the official start of the alliance and equitable dialogue between mortals and immortals!
——————
Within the alternate space.
The gravely injured Momoshiki and Urashiki looked at Isshiki, struggling within his turmoil, and all three Otsutsuki fell into a shared silence.
Never had they been so downcast...
What should they do now?
