"Did something happen to Isshiki and those few kids in the Otherworld?"
Not sensing Isshiki and the others, Akeshiki pondered for a moment and then smiled.
"Well, indeed, considering Uchiha Aomi has acquired Lord Shibai's power, it's unlikely those kids like Isshiki could withstand during my support time…"
"No matter, they're just ordinary clan members, Otsutsuki has plenty! Reporting the location of Lord Shibai's remains was worthwhile, Isshiki."
"Although I didn't find Isshiki, I found several half-blood individuals; they should be descendants of that branch family Kaguya, right? Capture them first and see if there is any intelligence about the usurper Uchiha Aomi in their souls!"
Akeshiki entered the Otherworld, swiftly heading towards where Six Paths Sage and Otsutsuki Hamura were located.
Meanwhile, in another corner of the Otherworld, Spiritual Technique, feeling the anxiety from his bloodline, chuckled lightly.
"Lord Shibai, have you noticed me? But rest assured, unless there's a chance for a lethal strike to thoroughly subdue you, I won't act rashly."
"You are, after all, an elder, and I will respectfully engage you in this final game!"

"Tobirama, the enemy has arrived!"
Within Senju Tobirama, Aomi's long-lost voice sounded: "Take everyone for an emergency retreat using that jutsu as an escape tool; leave here quickly!"
"The enemy is strong, I don't have the confidence to defeat them, I'm not joking!"
Senju Tobirama, who was still thinking about refining the Cyan Water Jutsu, widened his eyes sharply at this moment and decisively formed Hand Seals — "All Ninja World Alliance Army assemble!"
The alarm bell roared through the camp!
At this moment.
Regardless of being humans or animals, Genin or Kage Level, Immortals… the Ninja World Alliance Army searched for their positions with extreme orderliness, gathering into a well-organized formation in an incredibly short time from one barrack, training ground, and mess hall to another like currents converging into a river.
This was one of the achievements in the year's time under the training led by Senju Tobirama…
Rapid assembly!
When the enemy invades, one must quickly gather into a whole, maximizing prevention of the awkward situation where the Cyan Water Jutsu hasn't even been released before the enemy starts attacking.
"Has the forty-ninth drill started? Tobirama…"
Uchiha Izumi stood beside Senju Tobirama, as one of the commander ninjas, in his usual position, said with quite a sentiment:
"It's unimaginable, even after witnessing it so many times, truly amazed that ninjas once divided into dozens of Hidden Villages could become such a disciplined collective…"
Yet Senju Tobirama did not reply, instead communicated internally with Aomi: "Hide? Aomi, don't joke about that!"
"If I'm to let you fight desperately alone at the front while I and the others stay cowardly hidden, it's better for us to die…"
"A year may not be long, but in this collective exercise process, I've realized that ninjas do have the qualification to unite…"
"Aomi, I and the Ninja World Alliance Army will not retreat! We'll stand in front to help you defeat the invading enemy! And if we can't defeat them, I'll do everything to gather intelligence for you!"
"I, and the Ninja World Alliance Army fighting alongside me, are not a burden you need to protect, but a spearhead charging ahead for you, Aomi!"
Senju Tobirama spoke these words very fluently, as though practiced many times inside his heart, just to articulate them handsomely at this moment to persuade Aomi.
"This time, don't think of pushing me aside! You promised to seal Kaguya together, yet you left me to suffer…"
Senju Tobirama furiously roared both inwardly and outwardly: "Attention all, Ninja Alliance Army Jutsu, forty-ninth operation!"
——"Received!"
——"Hidden Rock section assembled, initiating Chakra supply!" Onoki, while controlling and organizing the strength of the Hidden Rock ninjas, shouted loudly in response.
——"Hidden Cloud, Hidden Mist, Konoha, other corps sections assembled!" Third Raikage, Kaguya Kimijiro, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Hanzo and others shouted in resonant voices.
——"Chakra alignment complete! Enter combat state!" Uzumaki Mito, Senju Hashirama, Namikaze Minato, among those responsible for secondary filtering chaotic notions and Chakra flow sequence, swiftly picked up the pace from the spearhead troops.
——"Attention all Dojutsu ninjas, begin releasing eye power!" Senju Tobirama waved his hand grandly, thus commanding.
Instantly, all living creatures present had three dark Tomoe appear on their shoulders, representing a form of Aomi's Soul Engraving impression.
This is both engraving and a method for rapid linkage between each other.
And at this moment.
The Susanoo constructed from multiple eye powers rose from the ground!
Most ninjas, linked by the Soul Engraving, transformed into the form of Chakra, becoming the energy source and heart of this Aomi version Susanoo.
"A little faster than last time, isn't it?"
Uchiha Madara, with arms crossed, remarked coldly yet with a hint of appreciation: "These ordinary ninjas successfully reduced the jutsu preparation time even further…"
"Achieving such feat is worthy of praise."
Beside him, Uchiha Izumi frowned slightly, noticing the abnormal expression of Senju Tobirama, and softly inquired:
"Hey! Tobirama! Emergency assembly completed, the drill phase should proceed… As the chief, why are you still a bit nervous?"
"Drill? Today isn't a drill…"
Senju Tobirama exhaled deeply, "Today, it's combat! I possess part of Aomi's Dojutsu, and have been predicting enemy arrival…"
"Combat?"
Uchiha Izumi was startled, rapidly scanning left and right with his Mangekyo: "What's going on! Is Aomi validating, or…? If it's the enemy…"
And as if responding to Uchiha Izumi's question.
In the distant sky.
A colossal dark red Space Teleportation Gate abruptly appeared before the Ninja World Alliance Army.
Akeshiki leisurely emerged from it.
And the immense Chakra instantly made every ninja present feel oppressed.
If not under the effect of the Cyan Water Jutsu, forming a unified whole, sharing this pressure evenly.
The mere presence of such aura would be enough to annihilate ninjas below Jonin level instantly on the spot!
"Oh? It doesn't seem like mere show…"
Akeshiki, slightly surprised, glanced at the Chakra giant before him, squinting to look at Senju Tobirama in the center.
Even though compared to the Six Paths Sage and Otsutsuki Hamura behind him, Senju Tobirama's bloodline may not match these Kaguya branches, considered merely a human...
Yet Akeshiki with his ultimate Byakugan, observed within Senju Tobirama a power quite intriguing!
And his Dojutsu hinted to Akeshiki some intricate relation between Senju Tobirama and the Otsutsuki Shibai…
In this critical moment.
Senju Tobirama, with hands clasped, shouted loudly: "Members of the Ninja World Alliance! Today is not a drill, but true combat!"
"Damned Otsutsuki Clan, once again invading the Ninja World! Against these haunting wolves, the only thing we can do is band together to kill these bastards!"
Listening to Senju Tobirama's words, Akeshiki chuckled lightly: "Facing me with such calmness, interesting indeed!"
"Tobirama, leave now, and there's still time… I can replace you…"
Aomi, with a tone mixed with undetermined sorrow and appreciation, spoke: "Are you sure about this?"
And as if responding to Aomi.
Senju Tobirama shouted at this moment: "All Ninja World, launch an assault against Otsutsuki who disrupt our unity and peace!"
