Another special ability, [Final Confrontation (Konoha)], was also transformed to [Final Confrontation (Ninja World)] when the final confrontation with external villages was completed—
Upon completion of this confrontation, you will permanently acquire double the Chakra, bloodline purification, soul strength, and all other basic attributes of the corresponding target.
This is also why Aomi wanted the people of the Ninja World to strive to improve themselves.
The Aomi who confronted the entire Ninja World earned the double total of efforts and resources spent by the Six Paths Sage and Otsutsuki Hamura to enhance ninja strength!
After a war, even the gold coins of the Six Paths Sage and Otsutsuki Hamura were almost swept away by Aomi.
"Pure Land Contract", "Control of the Giant Tenseigan", "Six Paths of Yin Power"...
As well as the various Dojutsu and bloodlines of Urashiki, Momoshiki, and Isshiki, were almost all exhausted by Aomi.
The only thing that this Ninja World could still bring expectation to Aomi was the [Blessing of Gaia Consciousness] given by the special ability [Child of Fortune] upon the completion of [Final Confrontation (Ninja World)].
"No, has this final reward changed?"
Aomi's heart stirred, the "Konoha" in the final confrontation had become "Ninja World", and the reward received [Blessing of Gaia Consciousness] was also changed to [Gaia Consciousness's Divine Selection]…
The change from blessing to divine selection? The two-letter difference contained a meaning that made Aomi cautious.
"Gaia Consciousness…this is an authority that even Kaguya had only heard of, far beyond the usual strength of the Otsutsuki…"
These two words, divine selection, reminded Aomi of a man in another world, a mighty emperor who, for the sake of protecting humanity, was seated on a golden throne, unable to move…
The emperor loved no one, but he loved all of humanity, so he would not leave the throne to prevent the Evil God he suppressed from escaping.
"I wonder what the manifestation of Gaia Consciousness's power is like…"
Aomi analyzed internally: "Logically, the consciousness and power derived from a planet's guardian should be to select an existence that can continue to protect the planet…"
"If I acquired supreme power but had to give up freedom and be bound like an earth spirit to this planet, I would rather not have it…"
The emperor's boundless love is indeed worthy of admiration, but Aomi focuses on himself.
If it meant becoming an earth-bound spirit for the Ninja World, then it would be like wearing the Will of Fire mask for too long, forgetting to take it off in the end.
"For me, apart from these ninjas continually strengthening and feeding back to me, there is nothing else in the Ninja World that can enhance me…"
"The only ace up my sleeve, aside from the incomplete Gaia Consciousness's divine selection, is the feedback brought by the growth of these ninjas over time, leaving only the natural energy of the Ninja World and the ability to activate the Death Gate once without consumption…"
Aomi recalled what he spoke with Zetsu regarding the division of power from one to seven, using Kaguya as a reference.
This part that Aomi spoke of was not a falsehood.
Especially when Isshiki mentioned using the corpse of the Otsutsuki Shibai God as a gimmick to quickly gain high-level support…
The pursuers sent would certainly be extremely powerful!
Equating it to a village shadow's corpse being outside, the attackers would either be current shadows, Jinchuriki, or the highest echelon of Jonin-level ninjas…
Just with a few aces, Aomi felt it wasn't enough.
"The body of Otsutsuki Shibai is also extremely valuable… but it's too dangerous; the nature of the Otsutsuki Clan is continuous body swapping and devouring, reaching the level of a god requires utmost caution…"
"Blind contact may have unforeseen consequences… even if mortals in the original world seemingly safely researched this shell, it doesn't mean it's safe…"
"A dead camel is still bigger than a horse."
"The body of Otsutsuki Shibai must be held in hand for research… but before that, it's crucial to enhance my strength as much as possible, best if I get Gaia Consciousness's protection."
Aomi slowly opened his eyes, and this time, it was neither the ordinary Three-Tomoe Sharingan usually displayed.
Instead, a white background with nine scarlet Tomoe spinning within, revealing the light of the Tenseigan, patterned with golden Rinnegan lines!
This was the Rinnegan unique to Aomi, who had gathered various Otsutsuki bloodlines!
"Although time and space have strict limits, my Dojutsu seems capable of coping…" Aomi felt the power of these eyes, his gaze gathering on the small time-traveling turtle in his hand.
The Treasure Tool Li felt Aomi's gaze, the entire turtle shivered, and it unnaturally grinned as if recognizing a familiar person — its former master, the ascended God of Otsutsuki!
So alike, really so alike…
This playful mind, and unreasonable talent!
Aomi unconsciously stroked the turtle shell.
He had asked Li about Shibai, but gained little information…
This turtle was merely an early tool used by Otsutsuki Shibai, similar to the samurai sword used by Senju Hashirama.
According to it, Otsutsuki Shibai also discovered the inability to gain power from the Otherworld, so left it in his personal alternate space, only regaining freedom after ascending from this Ninja World's planet.
Unwilling to be used again by the Otsutsuki, it hid in the ocean, only to be found by ninjas, ending up with Momoshiki and Urashiki.
"Li, find me a timeline five years earlier than the current space… one where the time flow is faster than now…"
Aomi infused a massive amount of Chakra into Li's shell, gently smiling: "I know it's challenging, but you can do it, I believe in you."
"Don't worry, I'll provide Chakra to protect you, do your best… I promise, after overcoming this crisis with the Otsutsuki Clan, I'll return your freedom."
The small turtle felt the surging Chakra within, momentarily forgetting its fear, curiously looking at Aomi.
This was the first time…
A user actively giving it Chakra to shield it in the turbulent currents of time…
This man, he seemed somewhat special.
[Perceived that "Li" has developed a strong curiosity towards the host, it has been bound as a confrontation target!]
"I… I understand!" Li activated the time energy within, seriously searching every timeline as Aomi requested.
Much later.
Li finally raised its head, excitedly reporting to Aomi: "Found it! I found the timeline you've been seeking, Aomi-sama…"
"Great, I knew you could do it."
Aomi smiled indifferently: "Now, take me there…"
And at this moment.
The Kaguya inside of Aomi hesitated to speak; she really couldn't understand why Aomi insisted on venturing into an alternate space…
Though it had been clearly stated.
The alternate space was a path already explored by the Otsutsuki, even denied by the God of Otsutsuki.
With numerous restrictions, the energies of the alternate space hold no harvest value, furthermore posing immense risks.
But Kaguya didn't dare to persuade Aomi, only sighing inwardly.
A betrayer has no right to offer suggestions to Aomi before reconciliation.
The deep purple Dragon Vein Chakra erupted from Li's body, forming a crystalline Space-Time Teleportation Array…
Aomi stepped into it.
————————
In the Otherworld, Konoha, morning.
Naruto awoke in his messy room, rubbing his eyes groggily, sighing.
Once again, he was called the demon fox.
Really, he couldn't understand why everyone harbored such malice towards him…
"Are you alright?" A gentle voice emanated from within Naruto, startling the little guy: "Who's speaking?!"
In an instant.
Naruto entered his spiritual space, witnessing an astonishing scene!
A man sat atop a fox's head full of fear in its eyes, cheerfully gazing at him…
