The last trial in Ryuchi Cave.
The strongest among the three Snake Princesses—Tagitsuhime is waiting for Aomi's arrival.
"This trial taker is causing such a commotion just as he enters the cave…"
Tagitsuhime gazed cautiously at the entrance of the cave, having just felt the cave itself shake as if it were an earthquake, she pondered:
"This isn't something that can be easily brushed aside, this person is not to be taken lightly…"
But Tagitsuhime did not panic; instead, she calmly gathered the natural energy, synthesizing a large amount of Sage Art Chakra to prepare for the upcoming combat.
Compared to Tagorihime's Genjutsu about food and Ichikishimahime's childish games, Tagitsuhime's trial is the final lethal stage of the Ryuchi Cave trial—
Interrogation of the soul!
Using Sage Art Chakra to stir the inner desires of the trial taker; those who are not strong-willed and determined will fall into the whirlpool of Genjutsu, unable to extricate themselves...
With the power of Sage Arts, this move is highly effective against powerful ninja, mainly judging their character.
For instance, if the oppressed Hatake Sakumo were subjected to this technique, his chance of escape might be less than Inada Kojiro, who went to open a Three-Colored Pills shop because Tobirama took his place on his exam…
"Trial Taker, congratulations on reaching the last trial."
Tagitsuhime saw Aomi appear, and her charming maiden face almost transformed into a serpentine form…
With such a fierce aura, she finally understood why there was such loud noise earlier!
Looking at Aomi's approaching gaze, Tagitsuhime didn't have time to consider whether her two sisters, Tagorihime and Ichikishimahime, were still alive, she quickly spoke to Aomi:
"You may possess great power, but please adhere to the rules of Ryuchi Cave, if you wish to gain the White Snake Great Sage's recognition…"
"The White Snake Great Sage is watching over you."
Tagitsuhime cautiously stepped back two steps, ready at any moment to defend against Aomi bursting forth to forcefully break through, cold sweat slowly sliding down her smooth back.
The keen sense of serpents frantically stimulating her nerves, reminding Tagitsuhime of how dangerous a presence Aomi is…
Aomi slowly halted his steps, his eyes sharp like blades sizing her up and down, a cruel smile at his lips, and his right index finger slightly raised, speaking humorously to Senju Tobirama within him:
"Tobirama, did you hear that? She seems to be threatening me…"
"Calm down, calm down, Aomi!"
Senju Tobirama sharply noticed Aomi's motion, shivered all over, feeling like looking in a mirror, all too familiar.
"You're here to find the White Snake Sage, not to wreak havoc in Ryuchi Cave!"
Senju Tobirama tried to communicate patiently with Aomi, who seemed to be in a rebellious phase, using his gentlest tone:
"Look, this Snake Princess already said it, the White Snake Great Sage is already watching you, we should still abide by the rules."
"Rules?"
Aomi shook his head indifferently:
"Don't forget, Tobirama… the Snake Princesses also said, those who come to Ryuchi Cave are all maniacs seeking power; what they need are such ninja, and I play precisely this persona."
"To me, mentioning the White Snake Great Sage is just part of the deception in the trial."
"If I let the name of the White Snake Great Sage influence my original intention of action, then my measure is just so-so…"
Measure?
Senju Tobirama's ears twitched.
Danger!
For some reason, as soon as Senju Tobirama heard Aomi utter the word measure, he felt a seductive beauty, as if this word is naturally adapted to demonization, a necessary condition for going to extremes.
Senju Tobirama was so anxious that he was sweating, Aomi's combat desire could indeed rival Uchiha Madara.
Seeing a strong one ready to fight, even passing dogs would receive a slap, belongs to the classic Uchiha demeanor.
Senju Tobirama's fists slowly clenched, he knew why Aomi, from a gentle boy, has such a radical personality…
It's the mischief of Ancient Uchiha Chakra!
"What misfortune, this old Uchiha's Chakra has shattered my control over Uchiha Izuna's situation, causing Aomi to be affected by them…"
"If it weren't for Konoha being inadequate in strength, Aomi would have already been preparing to cooperate with me to handle things, but yet he stood up for the village against the two Jinchuriki, forcefully interrupted to battle using their power…"
Senju Tobirama's fists clenched tightly, this mighty strategic general of the Warring States Era didn't know how to persuade Aomi…
To him, the Kaguya Clan's Bone Armor, extraordinary replication ability are consequences of Aomi's Uchiha power mutation.
Otherwise, no talent can allow one to memorize and learn various Secret Techniques, Kekkeigenkai, and Kekkeitota instantly.
Senju Tobirama had confirmed; Aomi actually possesses various Mangekyo Dojutsu...
Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Kagutsuchi, these are already three types.
Although Aomi claims repeatedly that Amaterasu is merely a special Fire Release, Kagutsuchi is the extreme of Fire Attribute Chakra Form Transformation, Senju Tobirama found it hard to believe this explanation, isn't this deceiving a child?
Thus, there's only one possibility!
Aomi has inherited the dual Mangekyo Dojutsu of Ancient Uchiha and Uchiha Izuna!
So, aside from these three, considering the ability Aomi has that can unravel even Kekkeitota, it's likely a strengthened Sharingan replication!
Every time Aomi learns a Kekkeigenkai, a Secret Technique, it is using Ancient Uchiha power to further corrupt his own being.
