"Aomi, Izuna, seeing you work so closely and intimately together to defeat the Uzumaki and Senju, makes me very happy and relieved as your elder brother..."
In his heart, Uchiha Madara cheered for his two siblings, and then loudly ordered towards the door:
"Go fetch some fine wine and meat!"
"Lord Madara, didn't you say you were taking care of your health..."
The clever white Zetsu with the Uzumaki-like head, who had reminded Aomi last time that Tsunade brought him to Uzumaki Mito's side, now seemed to have become a little steward here, and could exchange a few words with Uchiha Madara.
"Do you really want to drink? Isn't it almost time for a nap..."
"Today, I'm happy!"
Uchiha Madara glared at the white Zetsu with the Uzumaki-like head and waved his hand: "Go on then!"
The white Zetsu with the Uzumaki-like head shrugged, muttering quietly in dissatisfaction: "If Master Aomi persuaded you, I doubt you'd have the same attitude, Lord Madara!"
"Speak up!"
"No problem, Lord Madara, I'm on it right away!"
The white Zetsu with the Uzumaki-like head plastered a smile on his face and quickly sank into the ground, but internally he was complaining—
This old man, his hearing is quite sharp!
——
"Jiraiya, just what is Konoha trying to do?"
Sage Fukasaku grumbled discontentedly, patting Jiraiya's head: "First, it was research on Wood Release, and now they're even combining studies on Uchiha and Senju!"
"Oh, right, and the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline too. Konoha's human experimentation is getting too extreme, can they really control it? Won't it bring unresolved crises to the Ninja World?"
Jiraiya looked blankly at Sage Fukasaku.
Human experiments?
I really didn't know... I truly didn't know...
Jiraiya recalled the earlier battle, but his furrowed brow relaxed a bit.
"Master Fukasaku, I don't think there's any need to worry..."
After pondering a bit, Jiraiya smiled:
"Even though that kid Aomi has the Sharingan, Senju Chakra, and Uzumaki bloodline, the reason we lost the earlier battle was due to a lack of information. He's not a traditional ninja, which left us quite passive."
"In the future, once we know Aomi's methods, we can naturally find ways to counter this kid's rampage..."
Jiraiya waved his hand: "Information, it's mainly a problem of information! Besides, Lord Mito has already noticed, so I think such situations with Aomi won't happen again..."
"I know Aomi's character. Even though he's an Uchiha, he's quite special. In the Will of Fire exam, he scored full marks, and the old man even included two sentences from his answer in the textbook..."
Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima nodded slightly.
As two frogs referred to as sages, it was indeed a bit embarrassing to be dealt with by Aomi without even exerting much effort.
But certainly, no one could have expected—
When Aomi used the Flying Thunder God Jutsu for instant teleportation, even though both Jiraiya and Orochimaru, not to mention the two frogs, had calculated to avoid the Sharingan's line of sight, who would have expected so many chains to appear from behind?
This can't be helped; in ninja battles, information is just that important!
Once you know the information, the results could be very different...
Besides, Jiraiya spoke of Aomi's pure qualities, so there's no need to worry too much.
Even if there are issues, they are internal to Konoha and unrelated to Mount Myoboku...
"You're right, young Jiraiya!"
Sage Fukasaku nodded in agreement: "I was overthinking things, but still, you should find a way to master Sage Mode!"
"If you can master the final form of Sage Mode from Mount Myoboku, the old lady and I can merge with you to unleash the ultimate secret technique of Mount Myoboku to counter this Uchiha—or is it Senju—um... Uzumaki?"
Sage Fukasaku got a bit confused, unsure how to define Aomi's bloodline, and could only vagueness about, continuing:
"In Sage Mode, your Taijutsu, perception, Chakra, and Ninjutsu will all double in strength, but you never seem to calm down. Regretting it now, aren't you?"
Jiraiya nodded: "I understand, Master Fukasaku, I will diligently train in Sage Mode!"
At this moment, Namikaze Minato also approached, speaking seriously: "Sage Fukasaku, if possible, I would like to join as well!"
After being mercilessly beaten by Aomi, Namikaze Minato realized a harsh truth—
Even if Aomi doesn't enter a bizarre rampage state, as Konoha's number one genius, he seemingly cannot defeat his own junior disciple.
And if Aomi did go on a rampage, defeating him wasn't the issue; it was figuring out how to survive...
The situation of Aomi's rampaging, uncontrolled power reminded Namikaze Minato of his beloved—Kushina.
Not long from now, Kushina will harbor something far scarier than Aomi within her, the strongest of the Tailed Beasts, the Nine-tails!
If Kushina went on a rampage, Namikaze Minato never wished to stand helplessly by as he did today...
"Little Minato, your heart and enthusiasm are welcomed by Mount Myoboku..."
Sage Shima cackled with laughter:
"However, training in Sage Mode is grueling. Young Jiraiya tried many times and barely broke in. Can you endure it?"
Namikaze Minato seemed to find his sunny smile once more:
"Don't worry, both sages, I will earnestly train with Jiraiya-sensei..."
Jiraiya's face immediately fell, then realized something was off: "Hey hey hey, Minato, I am your teacher!"
Just as the atmosphere began to ease.
Orochimaru's eyes were unreadable, his thoughts churning like turbulent waves!
