Chapter 145 - Chapter 24: Aomi Is Clearly Strong, Yet Excessively Cautious (Part 2)

Senju Tobirama's eyes flickered, as if he understood what Aomi was trying to express...

"The way Namikaze Minato thinks has greatly inspired me. When two ninjas fight to the death, the real threat is the part of a ninja they are least adept at. No matter how powerful your Ninjutsu is, the body is equally fragile."

"Namikaze Minato achieved this by using the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, matching his enemies' weakest points with his strongest traits, so even a ninja who seems more versatile than him would find themselves constrained when facing him."

"It must be said, he is a genius. That shared vulnerability among ninjas allowed him to pinpoint it accurately..."

Senju Tobirama nodded knowingly, naturally understanding these insights.

Before Namikaze Minato, he, the creator of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, had already developed this combat strategy.

"Aomi, you can certainly do the same."

Senju Tobirama began analyzing for Aomi:

"Since you've already mastered the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, with me here, I'll teach you proficiency and derivative jutsu. Your dynamic vision, neural response, and Taijutsu in close combat are all more powerful than that of Namikaze Minato..."

"What he can do, you'll only do better!"

Aomi slowly shook his head and softly said, "The Flying Thunder God Jutsu, although formidable, still has its problems..."

Senju Tobirama frowned; the Flying Thunder God Jutsu was considered one of the most powerful jutsu he had invented.

Even with Aomi saying this, Senju Tobirama didn't believe there was an issue.

Aomi slowly said, "The strength of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu inevitably invites enemy countermeasures, and its convenience and power can lead to an unconscious dependency from the user, potentially causing carelessness."

"Tobirama, tell me honestly, back when you were covering for Sarutobi Hiruzen and others, did you ever think you wouldn't make it back?"

Senju Tobirama remained silent.

Truth be told, although he had impressively tested Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo's mindset back then...

He had truly never considered he wouldn't return.

After all, with the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, even facing Uchiha Madara, Senju Tobirama didn't think he'd be captured or killed, yet in the end, he fell in an unexpected confrontation with the Six Paths Treasure Tools of the Kinkaku Ginkaku brothers...

It was unforeseen among unforeseen events.

Aomi sighed and shook his head:

"The Ninja World is a world with many monsters. Perhaps someone developed a new Secret Technique, or perhaps someone discovered a new Kekkeigenkai, or a strange Fuinjutsu, or even found Six Paths Treasure Tools from the Ancient Era..."

"But the body of a ninja is so fragile, with no margin for error whatsoever."

Margin for error...

Senju Tobirama pondered these three words, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Sometimes I think, the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara, those two individuals referred to as deities, their attacks have long surpassed the necessary power to kill a ninja..."

"What truly makes them powerful is their margin for error, which surpasses all other ninjas!"

"Chakra so powerful it disregards Genjutsu, impenetrable protection through Wood Release and Susanoo, and reportedly, the First Hokage possessed the Un-Seal Healing Jutsu, able to heal wounds instantly..."

Aomi sighed and shook his head, saying:

"Though I cannot compare to these two Gods of the Ninja World, I can do what is within my power to complement my weaknesses, to face this monster-filled Ninja World, and survive..."

Senju Tobirama remained expressionless.

Whether Aomi could match Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama was indeed hard to say.

He began to wonder—

From when did Aomi develop such extreme caution, seemingly with a persecutory delusion?

Senju Tobirama sighed, with a vague understanding dawning on him.

If viewed from Aomi's perspective, where rare occurrences like dual Chakra reincarnations and Kinjutsu products happened to him, becoming extremely cautious seemed quite reasonable.

This child Aomi has not had it easy, and the fact he hasn't turned to darkness despite such events speaks to his excellent psychological resilience.

"Susanoo and Wood Release, I can't access or control them now..."

Aomi patted his chest, "But I can figure out how to temper my body, at least to the level of withstanding Namikaze Minato's slashes and ordinary Escape Technique attacks!"

"That way, even if I'm ever set up or surrounded, I'd still have an unexpected trump card..."

Senju Tobirama followed Aomi's thoughts, frowning more deeply.

Fortunately, it seems that in the Uchiha Clan, only Aomi has been like this for a thousand years!

Even a scheming and cunning Uchiha like Uchiha Izuna, upon gaining the Mangekyo Sharingan, became arrogant enough to think they could crush him at will, letting down their guard.

Thus, giving him an opportunity!

If Uchiha Izuna were as cautious as Aomi, always finding the Mangekyo Sharingan's power insufficient and secretly trying to strengthen his body...

Even as a fantasy, Senju Tobirama found himself a bit shaken.

One Flying Thunder God Slash down, the blade touched Uchiha Izuna's chest but did not penetrate, breaking on impact!

After that, Uchiha Izuna mocked him loudly with insults.

Senju Tobirama could not help but feel a chill, thinking it would truly be a hellish world!
