The people of the Ninja World nodded thoughtfully.
Like Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Izuna, who once were mortal enemies wishing the other would drop dead the next moment, but when they joined forces, they both found themselves thinking—
"Who knew this bastard was so useful to cooperate with?"
And in this Ninja World, it's not just Uchiha and Senju that have such ties.
Figures like Onoki and the Third Raikage, the Second Tsuchikage and Second Mizukage, and many Jonin, Chunin, or even Genin who once faced off on the battlefield have at some point in their careers had such a person.
When war turns to peace, those once hideous enemies become the most reliable comrades.
This is a rather common phenomenon.
And like Uchiha Madara, feared by the entire Ninja World as a harbinger of death, once recognized and acknowledged by others, will also inadvertently reveal a lovable side, allowing those who misunderstood him to see a more complete and real version of himself.
"Everyone, the threat of the Otsutsuki Clan, ever since they targeted our beautiful planet as a breeding ground for exploitation, has been an endless confrontation."
Aomi's tone shifted, revealing a stern killing intent in his voice as he spoke extremely seriously and solemnly: "Please lend me your power to slay these invading wolves entirely, and fight for a future for the Ninja World's future!"
With that, Aomi reached out towards the Susanoo, his gaze firm.
And at this moment.
As if in cooperation with Aomi, the natural energy prison confining Akeshiki erupted violently, apparently subjected to a ferocious impact, on the verge of breaking through in an instant!
Within the cage.
Akeshiki, activating his Dojutsu and targeting Aomi, saw this bizarre scene and was momentarily stunned.
He hadn't attempted to break this seal…
After being kicked by Aomi, Akeshiki was in shock and excitement, different from the small scratches received while toying with the Ninja World Alliance Army.
Aomi had well and truly injured Akeshiki!
On this planet, there was actually a life form capable of injuring him, the Clan Leader's aide of the Otsutsuki Clan? By all rights, this was impossible... the only possibility was that Aomi had obtained the Power of Shibai!
This kind of Aomi was the target Akeshiki was extremely eager to devour.
But conversely, it was also an opponent Akeshiki needed to take seriously, so he did not act rashly, instead suppressing the multitude of complex emotions in his heart—anger from being attacked, greed for the Power of Shibai, and so on…
He used his Dojutsu to peer into Aomi's future, and through the Meditation Jutsu, once again confirmed that as long as he devoured Aomi, he could successfully reach a new level!
"Is it to make those small fry listen to his command? How childish... still unable to let go of emotions as a lower being, a person like this should not have the power of Lord Shibai!"
Akeshiki watched the self-directed natural energy sealing barrier, listened to Aomi's speech, and shook his head disdainfully.
Even at such a level...
To want the Chakra giant's power, they still need to offer it up willingly? Better to seize it directly and refine it on the spot!
Just from this point, Akeshiki had already concluded that Aomi did not have the determination to become a god! To reach the summit one must let go of useless emotions, focusing solely on one's own power…
But what Akeshiki didn't know was.
This deliberate riot of the sealing barrier, seemingly to create urgency for the people of the Ninja World, had a greater target—himself!
The key was not the chaotic emotions of anger, excitement, and disdain that surged in Akeshiki's heart after sensing Aomi's power!
[From the confrontational target Akeshiki: You have gained a highly purified bloodline!]
[From the confrontational target Akeshiki: You have acquired "Dojutsu·God·Shubi Jimi"!]
Aomi listened to the sound of gold coins, his expression unchanged.
After the bloodline purified thrice from Akeshiki and Spiritual Technique, in terms of sheer bloodline power, although hard to definitively judge, it certainly would not leave him at too great a disadvantage against this Clan Leader's aide of the Otsutsuki Clan.
"Otsutsuki Fugaku, eh? Even a divine-grade Shubi Jimi, and the Dojutsu almost no different..." Aomi internally browsed through the so-called Divine Technique, reaching out his hand to the Susanoo, and solemnly declaring:
"Would you be willing to lend me a hand?"
At this moment, with complete cohesion, over a hundred thousand beings from the Ninja World all nodded in agreement, and the gigantic Susanoo dissipated, transforming into an extraordinarily pure Chakra and entering Aomi's body.
Ultimately, transforming on Aomi's chest into a round pearl engraved at the very center.
This orb contained the consciousness, Chakra, life force, and everything of the entire Ninja World's beings... within it, everyone shared their vision with Aomi, fighting alongside him as backup hidden energy!
Boom boom boom boom boom!
A skyrocketing punch easily shattered the natural energy cage entirely.
Akeshiki slowly appeared mid-air, studying Aomi from head to toe, smirking slightly: "Are the little tricks over? If so, it's time to usher in your death!"
Akeshiki's eyes, exuding a mysterious glow, rotated—"I have already seen your death; you can choose to resist meaninglessly, but it has no meaning."
At this moment, Akeshiki's Chakra rapidly soared at a terrifying speed, seemingly without any bottleneck!
In the Otherworld, Spiritual Technique watched Akeshiki's stance with raised brows: "Oh? Akeshiki is getting serious now… as for this little guy called Aomi, he seems not to be underestimated either."
"Showing up at this time point, turns out it's to use those pawns as tools to test Akeshiki? Even without discarding the power of these pawns, he truly utilizes everything on this planet to the fullest…"
"Just not sure whether you are the so-called Uchiha Aomi, or have already become Lord Shibai?"
Spiritual Technique watched the confrontation between these two with anticipation, having already made calculations in his heart.
If Akeshiki wins, Spiritual Technique will step in at the moment Aomi is about to be devoured and seize his victory away.
If Aomi manages to demonstrate the power to defeat Akeshiki, Spiritual Technique would look for a chance to ambush Aomi, preventing him from further empowering himself by devouring Akeshiki.
Only he, Spiritual Technique, is qualified to become the ultimate victor.
In any case.
As the fisherman watching the tigers fight, Spiritual Technique remains undefeated.
"Is that so? What should I call you?" Facing Akeshiki's arrogant tone, Aomi nodded thoughtfully, his eyes glinting.
"My name is Akeshiki, an aide to the Clan Leader of the Otsutsuki Clan, and destined to surpass all and lead the clan to transcendence to become divine..." Akeshiki introduced himself arrogantly.
And at this moment, his Divine Dojutsu·Shubi Jimi had already predicted every possible response Aomi could make after he initiated an attack.
"So sharp, Akeshiki…"
Aomi chuckled softly, murmuring: "I don't know why… but your tone reminds me of an old friend, named Shimura Danzo. How about calling you Otsutsuki Danzo instead of Akeshiki from now on?"
In such a serious occasion.
Aomi joked about Shimura Danzo, making the people of the Ninja World gathered into an energy cluster on his chest initially pause, then become somewhat helplessly amused.
Hey, you know what… he really does resemble that a bit!
Although Akeshiki didn't know what Shimura Danzo was.
But instinctively, he could tell it was an insulting description…
"Die!"
Akeshiki's figure exploded into motion, his speed reaching its peak, mentally locking on to every possible evasive move Aomi could make in the future!
With his hand like a blade, he attacked Aomi's chest!
Spiritual Technique squinted, focusing intently on observing Aomi's move…
Suddenly, his eyes tightened!
Always feeling he had a precise grasp on the situation, for the first time Spiritual Technique felt somewhat out of control.
Because.
Aomi, as if foreseeing Akeshiki's move, grabbed him by the throat!
What's happening?
What's happening!
