Aomi's character was originally gentle and humble, which Senju Tobirama had always observed.
Reaching this point today, wasn't it all for the sacrifice made for Konoha?
Everything was for Konoha, and the Will of Fire has already paid the price in the unseen...
Senju Tobirama wanted to persuade Aomi, but found himself at a loss for words.
Could he really suggest that Aomi stop using this power to protect Konoha?
That's impossible; Konoha needs Aomi, just like the Ninja World cannot do without the Six Paths Sage.
But on the contrary, Senju Tobirama could only watch helplessly as Aomi's character began to transform...
And at this moment.
Aomi also sensed an incredibly powerful and unique chakra locking onto him from the depths of Ryuchi Cave.
It should be the White Snake Great Sage...
Since Tagitsuhime had already mentioned this name, it was at least essential to show some courtesy.
In Aomi's view, although these Great Sages are not at the Six Paths level, they possess natural energy and Sage Art Chakra accumulated over hundreds of years, and wield jutsu similar to humans, making their combat power surpass Kage level.
At this pivotal moment, Aomi did not feel the need to conflict with the White Snake Sage, as there was no fundamental interest clash between them.
Thus, Aomi slowly appeared beside Senju Tobirama, smiling as he patted his shoulder and shook his head saying:
"If you truly don't want me to use force to get through, just tell me."
"Why are you so troubled?"
"I believe you won't harm me, so I'll listen to you and won't use violence against this Snake Princess."
"You wouldn't think that if you suggested something to me, I'd assume you're putting me under the Five-Step Technique, would you? Old man, I'm not that shallow..."
Senju Tobirama's heart skipped a beat; did this brat even guess that?
The Second Hokage was about to retort when he saw Aomi had already started a conversation with Tagitsuhime: "Since you pursue the power of the Immortals as a trial taker, naturally, you must obey Ryuchi Cave's rules."
"Please begin."
Tagitsuhime secretly breathed a sigh of relief; if Aomi didn't follow the rules, she truly wouldn't know what to do.
Tagitsuhime mobilized the Sage Art Chakra within her and unleashed her jutsu toward Aomi with full force!
Aomi smiled faintly, and the Vajra Lock Chain silently bound the two small white snakes on his arm, absorbing their Sage Art Chakra.
Aomi's body accumulated the refined Sage Art Chakra, and his eyes, filled with chilling pupil power, scrutinized the illusion realm before him.
In front of him, those ninjas who once confronted him appeared one after another...
Precisely, those targets who harbored positive emotions and trusted Aomi.
First was Senju Tobirama.
In the genjutsu, Senju Tobirama tightened his face and shouted angrily at Aomi: "Where is your Will of Fire, Aomi? I knew you would do something to destroy the Ninja World; you're abandoning your beliefs!"
Next was Tsunade, crying as she wiped her tears, repeatedly questioning Aomi: "Why, why are you doing this..."
Then came Uchiha Madara, Uzumaki Mito, Asuma, Shisui, Might Dai and son...
"Is this Ryuchi Cave's genjutsu?"
Aomi chuckled looking at the scene and commented internally: "Interesting, it indeed reflects the desires of the heart..."
But interestingly.
Normally speaking, the heart questioning of Ryuchi Cave is to let the questioning from those close to you become chains that obstruct the trial taker's will; any cracks would drag one down, leading to eventual downfall.
But in Aomi's view, he only heard the clinking sound of gold coins exploding.
If the emotions of these close ones could fluctuate in an instant, Aomi wouldn't know how many troubles he would save, directly speeding through hastened progress.
Aomi's eyes condensed with pupil power, shattering Ryuchi Cave's genjutsu.
Tagitsuhime suddenly startled; her genjutsu was broken just like that?
Does this man have no heart, no cherished things?
Or is his will truly as iron, unbound by any ties...
Tagitsuhime felt full of confusion; she even sensed familiar Sage Art Chakra on Aomi's body!
But for some reason, she couldn't question Aomi, who had already cleared the trial...
This is Ryuchi Cave's rule—the law of the jungle.
Even if Tagorihime and Ichikishimahime died at Aomi's hands, it was due to inadequate capability, and there was nothing to say.
"Trial Taker, you have passed the final test and earned the privilege to meet the White Snake Great Sage," Tagitsuhime intently watched Aomi and spoke solemnly.
But Aomi shook his head, looking playfully at Tagitsuhime's slit snake eyes: "A good jutsu..."
"Is your will also firm?"
Aomi, using the power of Tagorihime and Ichikishimahime, applied to unleash a genjutsu empowered by Dojutsu, instantly pulling Tagitsuhime into the illusion world.
With two "traitors" inside Ryuchi Cave, even with Tagitsuhime's Sage Art Chakra empowerment, it's hard to escape Aomi's genjutsu power.
Genjutsu True Life, Ryuchi Cave Sage Art Chakra, Sharingan Dojutsu...
Under Aomi's unparalleled genjutsu talent, Tagitsuhime began enduring the questioning of the heart!
In this false world, Tagitsuhime watched in shock as her companions Tagorihime and Ichikishimahime, who had been with her for hundreds of years, died in battle; the familiar giant snakes around her slowly died of old age, and even the seemingly immortal White Snake Great Sage grew too old to even smoke a pipe.
And in the genjutsu, each snake that perished in Ryuchi Cave would leave a remark to Tagitsuhime or a self-talk—
