Aomi was satisfied to see the unwillingness and excitement in Shisui's eyes.
The Uchiha Clan is like this, everyone's personality is stubborn, unwilling to owe others favors, and the stronger they are, the more so.
The more Aomi let Shisui relax, the more pressure his brother would put on himself, belonging to a naturally stubborn type, and no one could persuade him otherwise.
"Uncle Duy, Guy, how are you two doing?"
Aomi turned his head and spoke to the Might father and son.
These two Taijutsu Ninjas, under the tempering of war, had made great progress in strength. Compared to the feedback Shisui gave him about his eye power, the increase in physical strength provided by the Might father and son was more obvious...
"We're doing great, Lord Aomi!"
Might Duy thumped his chest and said energetically, "Please rest assured, as the nursing home of the Aomi family, the responsibility is always in my heart!"
Might Guy first greeted Aomi enthusiastically, then looked curiously at his own father.
Nursing home's responsibility?
They're on the battlefield, so why mention the nursing home?
"For the Aomi family, the Uchiha Clan, and Konoha to have a ninja like Uncle Duy, is a blessing."
Aomi encouragingly patted Might Duy on the shoulder and softly said, "Make sure to take care of yourself too, Uncle Duy."
Might Duy nodded vigorously, "Yes!"
Aomi gestured for everyone to sit down around him, and then smiled at Rin Nohara, who had just run over, and waved her over, "Rin, long time no see..."
Rin Nohara's face was flushed. Upon learning that Aomi had arrived, she immediately ran over.
But compared to the Taijutsu-proficient Might father and son, her speed wasn't as fast.
"Long time no see, Aomi-kun..."
Rin Nohara looked at the handsome yet seemingly slightly somber Aomi, her heart skipped a beat:
"This version of Aomi-kun looks more handsome, with a mature masculine charm..."
Rin Nohara couldn't help but wonder, during the time on the battlefield when she hadn't seen him, what had Aomi experienced? Was he okay?
"The main reason I came to the Hidden Cloud Battlefield this time is to see you all."
Aomi surveyed everyone, and with these people present, it felt like returning home, even on the battlefield the atmosphere became somewhat warm:
"The war will soon enter a stalemate phase, I have to deal with the matter of the Child of Prophecy that Jiraiya mentioned, which might keep me busy for a time, you all need to take care of yourselves."
"Even as the intensity of the war decreases, beware of enemy ambushes, and don't become arrogant because of increased strength, losing the respect for the strong..."
Asuma and Shisui exchanged a subtle glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.
"Brother, why bother with this Child of Prophecy? It's just a prophecy by a bunch of toads..." Shisui frowned and slowly said.
Asuma nodded and said, "Yes Aomi, Jiraiya has been searching for the Child of Prophecy for so long with no news, it's not necessary to bother."
"Maybe before, that was the case..." Aomi shook his head with a smile:
"This time, the Great Toad Sage specified that I am the Child of Prophecy, the so-called Child of Prophecy is one who can bring peace to the world.
"And it just so happens that I can see the content behind the Uchiha Stele, where it records the way to peace left by the Six Paths Sage..."
"These elements combined make it worthwhile to investigate, and I also have some issues in my body that need the method of using Natural Energy from the Three Holy Lands to resolve. Investigating the Child of Prophecy can be done concurrently with these."
Aomi is the Child of Prophecy?
Asuma pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh: "That really fits, since Aomi is the Child of Prophecy, it's no wonder Jiraiya couldn't find him outside the village!"
"Brother does not need Mount Myoboku's acknowledgment to be the one to bring peace to the Ninja World."
Shisui said coldly, and then a strong sense of worry surfaced in his eyes: "Brother, is your body okay? Why would you still need Natural Energy to adjust it!"
At this moment, Shisui thought of many things, the thing he feared most was the Bloodstain Disease that appeared in the Uchiha Clan.
In the family chronicles, many astonishing Uchiha had phenomenal eye power at a young age, only to be plagued by illness and die young.
Could it be...
After all, Aomi's talent is so outstanding!
Asuma's eyes flashed, as the Son of the Hokage, he thought of more...
Considering his father's attitude towards Aomi, and the rumors in the village, Asuma's heart skipped a beat, thinking of that complexly rated Second Hokage Senju Tobirama!
Could it be...
Some of the village's rumors are true!
"Don't worry about me, Shisui, my physical problems are not significant..."
Aomi waved his hand with much flair:
"I won't blindly follow so-called prophecies, I will go to Shikkotsu Forest, and Ryuchi Cave to verify, and finally, I will visit Mount Myoboku."
"But if what Mount Myoboku says is true, then perhaps this time, I can find a method to bring eternal peace to the Ninja World."
A method for eternal peace?
Shisui and Asuma chewed over these words. Although it sounded a bit hollow, it fit their fantasy of Aomi...
Probably only someone like Aomi, who has never failed and possesses talents so powerful it's almost omnipotent, has the right to consider such matters?
"Brother, whatever happens, your health is the priority." Shisui said seriously, staring at Aomi unblinkingly.
"Aomi, if there's anything you need me to do, please give the order." Asuma suddenly said, his gaze extremely earnest.
Aomi nodded, his gaze settled on Might Guy, Might Duy, Shisui, Asuma, and Rin Nohara, as if trying to memorize their appearances, before he slowly got up, turned his back on the crowd, and waved his hand:
"Just take good care of yourselves, don't overthink things."
Rin Nohara watched Aomi's back, her heart fluttering, with many things she wanted to say, but not knowing what to say when it came to her lips.
As one of Tsunade's disciples, Rin Nohara seemed to think Tsunade had a special feeling for Aomi, but it was just speculation.
And she herself had a fondness, even an admiration, for Aomi.
However, to Aomi, once admiration and worship for him are born, one is no longer fit to be his opposing target.
Admiration is often the furthest distance from understanding.
And a ninja who cannot understand Aomi is often unworthy of being his opponent, or rather has no real substance to offer...
"Asuma, what did you want to say just now?"
After Aomi left, Shisui said sullenly and asked Asuma, "I always feel like you've spotted something?"
"The problems Aomi mentioned that require Natural Energy to solve, might be related to the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama."
Asuma spoke candidly, "Although I don't know how that figure did it, we could ask Tsunade-sensei for help..."
"Shisui, rest assured, as long as it's about Aomi, I'll do my utmost."
Asuma's voice turned low and firm: "Even though I'm the Son of the Hokage, I also have to do what's right."
Shisui grabbed Asuma's shoulder: "Thank you, you bastard!"
Might Guy and Rin Nohara were anxious, watching these two speaking in riddles, and quickly said, "We can help too!"
"Asuma, Shisui, Rin, Guy..."
Might Duy suddenly spoke up, his two thick eyebrows seemed to tremble with emotion: "This is youth!"
"As Konoha's Mad Duy, the First Blue Beast of the Wild, I can instinctively feel Aomi-kun is very weary, this is the time when he needs us to do something for him!"
Might Duy gave a thumbs up: "Go do it well, I'll cover for you!"
At this moment, the number of people wanting to kick Senju Tobirama out of Aomi's body has greatly increased.
Not only Uchiha Madara and Tsunade, but also the younger generation of ninjas...
And at this moment.
Aomi and Senju Tobirama had already headed to the first destination—Ryuchi Cave!
The controlled Uchiha Setsuna, the discovering the departure Aomi's departure the Black Zetsu, and Uchiha Obito returning to the camp, are about to form—
Gaining love.
And losing love.
