Just like Aomi said, the nervous Uchiha Obito pushed open the door with flowers in hand and saw that Uchiha Rin had already prepared a sumptuous meal, silently washing his clothes like usual...
Isn't this wanting her to go home?
Isn't it clearly waiting eagerly for him to return!
Uchiha Obito and Zetsu, while eating, sighed and said, "Rin, you're right about everything..."
"Aomi, he really is a good person, I had a very pleasant chat with him today."
Zetsu's eyes flashed, feigning nonchalance, "What did he talk to you about?"
"We talked about many things. Anyway, he's going to be my good friend from now on!"
Uchiha Obito chuckled, "One sentence I remember deeply, he said you and I are both children who lost their mothers young, using each other's love to fill the void, mutual redemption..."
"How about it, isn't that exceptionally well put?"
Zetsu nodded, as long as Aomi and Uchiha Obito's relationship eases, the success rate of the Eye of the Moon Plan will significantly increase.
But in the next moment.
Although Uchiha Rin's puppet expression remained unchanged, a sudden tremor ran through Zetsu's heart!
A child who lost their mother?
Mutual redemption!
The words 'mother' and 'redemption' danced in Zetsu's heart, gradually turning into a simple three-word notion: Save Mother!
Zetsu worked hard to calm its emotions.
Uchiha Aomi...
Zetsu had to admit, even with its perceptive eyes, it couldn't see through this youth or his mysterious background.
It initially thought Aomi was just like Uchiha Madara believed, merely a special Dual Reincarnation Body...
Yet this sentence made Zetsu's thinking begin to spread.
Especially in recent Konoha, there's been widespread talk of Aomi having a talent in Fuinjutsu similar to the Uzumaki Clan, earning Uzumaki Mito's favor.
Aomi, embodying Senju, Uchiha, and Uzumaki...
The reason Uchiha Madara perceived Aomi as his brother's reincarnation was because, in his mind, a youth couldn't possibly emulate the Fire Release techniques and swordsmanship he had never seen, nor possess similar Chakra...
Senju Tobirama was the same.
The reasoning of the top ranking was flawless, because based on their understanding, given Aomi's age and background, such performance couldn't be explained by anything other than the Reincarnation Chakra Body.
But Zetsu knew more than them!
Besides reincarnation, there was another very tiny possibility...
Suppose, Aomi's words weren't coincidence but rather deliberately communicating something to it...
In that case, Aomi's talents, surpassing even the contemporaries of Asura and Indra, would have a whole new explanation!
Zetsu's heart jumped sharply, but soon steadied.
This was merely a minuscule possibility, highly likely that Aomi and Uchiha Obito's words today were simply coincidence...
After all, if Aomi was Izuna and Tobirama's Dual Reincarnation Body, then appearing stronger than the reincarnations of Indra and Asura early on would be normal...
Asura and Indra's Reincarnation Chakra Bodies generally gain strength later on, but once they do, it's unstoppable.
Zetsu shook its head, deciding not to think further on the issue.
No matter what, its identity must not be revealed!
It is the last hope for resurrecting Mother!
"Even if Uchiha Aomi truly is connected to Mother..."
"Then his behavior today would indicate he recognizes me, but I need not do anything..."
Zetsu calmed its emotions, slowly lifting its gaze, meeting Obito's worried eyes, and put on a smiling face:
"I'm fine, Obito, I just think Aomi spoke really well..."
"Quick, eat up, this dish won't taste good once it gets cold."
"Okay!"
Uchiha Obito joyfully agreed, first giving Zetsu some food before eating himself.
[Detecting strong curiosity directed at the host from Zetsu, bound as target for confrontation!]
Meanwhile, sitting quietly in the woods, Aomi cracked a smile.
Zetsu's Five-Step Technique seems inferior to merely one sentence from him...

A few days later.
Jiraiya organized a dinner, calling it a bonding opportunity.
Besides Tsunade's Squad, there was also Kushina and Minato joining, even Orochimaru came to join the fun.
After several rounds of drinks and dishes.
Jiraiya held his wine glass, seemingly drunk, and with a flushed face said, "Tsunade, as a new teacher, you should learn more from me, even the old man can't rival me in teaching ability!"
"Why? Minato is the student I brought out, in Konoha, no one is more outstanding than him!"
Asuma's eyes narrowed dangerously in an instant.
Tsunade scoffed and shook her head, as Aomi's teacher, no one better understood how terrifying Aomi's talent was.
"Jiraiya sensei, you've had too much..."
Namikaze Minato awkwardly smiled, "I'm much older than Aomi, this comparison isn't fair."
"Why, do you think you're stronger than Aomi, Senior Brother Minato?"
Asuma couldn't hold back, speaking gravely, "No one can surpass Aomi in talent!"
