"In my view, dealing with Tailed Beasts and helping Chouza are one and the same."
Akimichi Chouza's face instantly turned red. Before coming, he had discussed with Nara Shikaku whether Aomi was really easy to get along with.
After all, rumors are just rumors, and Aomi is still a ninja of the Uchiha Clan.
But upon meeting, Aomi proactively offered to help solve the long-standing issue that troubled the Akimichi Clan, making Akimichi Chouza feel that the gifts he brought were too humble and he didn't know what to say.
Kurama Kurokumo then spoke:
"Aomi, are you also proficient in fuinjutsu? I've heard that it's extremely difficult to learn, and only a few talented ninjas can master it."
Shisui listened to Kurama Kurokumo's words, and said with a smile:
"Not just fuinjutsu, but Yang Release, genjutsu, Sharingan, Fire Release, kenjutsu, my brother knows it all!"
Aomi smiled and shook his head:
"It's all thanks to Lady Mito's excellent teaching. I've basically mastered the Uzumaki Clan's fuinjutsu."
As Aomi spoke, a golden adamantine chain quietly appeared at his wrist.
It was the bloodline limit of the Uzumaki Clan, the Adamantine Sealing Chains!
Everyone's pupils shook in shock...
As members of a ninja clan, they all knew the Adamantine Sealing Chains were a bloodline limit, something that could even be learned?
Involuntarily, they looked at Aomi with newfound respect from the bottom of their hearts.
"It's nothing remarkable, everyone. Fuinjutsu is just difficult to start with, but I am not counted as proficient..."
Aomi said rather melancholically:
"Lady Mito once said, there is no fuinjutsu in this world that cannot be undone, only ninjas whose training is not deep enough. I am still too far from her level..."
Hyuga Hizashi, who had been silent all along, suddenly felt his heart skip a beat!
What did he just hear?
—"No fuinjutsu that cannot be undone!"
For ages, the understanding among the Hyuga Branch Family and even the Main Family ninjas was that the Caged Bird Jutsu was unbreakable. Once imprinted, even the caster could not lift it; they could only wear this ugly mark for life, becoming caged birds.
Yet Aomi says that the strongest fuinjutsu ninja in the Ninja World, Uzumaki Mito, once said there are no unbreakable seals...
"Aomi, did Lady Mito really say this..." Hyuga Hizashi spoke out unconsciously but immediately felt it was inappropriate.
Aomi smiled faintly: "She did, Hizashi."
Hyuga Hizashi quickly nodded, calming his mind.
There were too many people here, and words would spread quickly, plus he was only from the Hyuga Clan's Branch Family, he had already acted inappropriately just now.
No matter what ideas came to his mind, he would have to plan slowly over time...
"Kurokumo-senpai, are you interested in fuinjutsu as well?"
Aomi looked at Kurama Kurokumo who seemed to want to speak, and said with a smile: "If so, we can all discuss it together."
Kurama Kurokumo shook his head awkwardly:
"I am not interested in fuinjutsu, I just heard Shisui said, Aomi, that you are also very good at genjutsu, and I have a little knowledge in that area."
Nara Shikaku nodded.
The Kurama Clan was once one of Konoha's great families, providing many Jonin and Chunin to Konoha.
Including strong techniques like the Genjutsu True Life, and the bloodline limit that controls the five senses, it was just that the number of clan members who awakened the bloodline limit became fewer and fewer, leading to decline.
In the current Kurama Clan, Kurama Kurokumo was one of the few clan members who mastered the bloodline limit.
Aomi's eyes flashed with interest: "Since we are fated to be together today, how about Kurokumo-senpai shows us something?"
Kurama Kurokumo smiled confidently.
Genjutsu was always his forte...
A lifelike fire dragon suddenly appeared in mid-air, even emitting a scorching heat.
Aomi squinted his eyes at the scene, and with the Eye of the Door Snake, he analyzed the Yin Release Chakra flow of the Genjutsu True Life, unraveling and displaying the details, deeply engraving them in his mind.
"So that's how it is..."
Aomi mused thoughtfully: "I think I got it?"
Kurama Kurokumo stared blankly at Aomi, only to see an ice dragon quietly appear beside the genjutsu fire dragon, emanating a chilling aura...
Nara Shikaku watched the scene in silence, his mouth twitching at high frequency.
Is this the Sharingan's genjutsu, or has Aomi truly mastered the Kurama Clan's Genjutsu True Life?
If mastering a Kekkeigenkai with just a single glance...
Nara Shikaku's brilliant mind was spinning wildly. He finally understood why Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage with a cautious stance towards the Uchiha, would so unexpectedly have Aomi carry the coffin for Uzumaki Mito!
This kind of talent, isn't it the purest form of the God of the Ninja World?
When Aomi grows up, even Nara Shikaku cannot imagine what a terrifying ninja he will become...
No, he's already quite terrifying right now.
Kurama Kurokumo swallowed nervously, "Aomi, you are..."
"A kind of utilization of Yin Release Chakra, senior Kurokumo. Doesn't it seem somewhat like Genjutsu True Life?"
Aomi smiled, "I just crudely mimicked your technique, it's still a bit immature."
Kurama Kurokumo looked at the fire dragon that had already been extinguished by the ice dragon's temperature, feeling somewhat bewildered.
What had he come here to do today?
Oh, it seemed like he came to befriend Aomi...
Amidst the commotion, Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi demonstrated the Shadow Possession Jutsu and Mind Body Transfer Jutsu, respectively.
Aomi still easily learned these and even pointed out some minor shortcomings to Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi from the perspective of Yin Release Chakra nature transformation.
This dream-like scene deeply shocked and stirred the ninjas present.
At this moment, each of them gained a new understanding of the word "genius."
Especially Kakashi, he began to ponder why so many people had previously called him a genius...
Just because he could swing a sword, and use a few Earth and Lightning Release techniques, was he a genius?
Kakashi felt confused, but at this moment he understood what Hatake Sakumo had once told him—
In every era, there will always be those ninjas who overshadow everyone else...
The so-called geniuses are only compared to ordinary people, not to those kinds of existences.
At that time, Kakashi was a bit unconvinced.
But today, Kakashi finally understood that his father indeed had a keen eye for recognizing talent.
After this gathering ended,
Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, Akimichi Chouza, and Kurama Kurokumo sprinted back to their clan lands. They urgently needed to inform their families that the time to place bets had come and there was no room for hesitation!
If someone else invested in Aomi first, then they would be left with nothing!
Kakashi wandered aimlessly through the village, still pondering why he was called a genius.
Hyuga Hizashi, however, walked slowly, deliberately dragging his feet, lost in thought.
[From the confrontation with targets Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, Kurama Kurokumo: You gained a slight increase in Yin Release Chakra!]
[From confrontation with target Akimichi Chouza: You gained a slight increase in Yang Release Chakra!]
[From confrontation with target Hatake Kakashi: You gained a slight increase in Swordsmanship!]
[From confrontation with target Hyuga Hizashi: You gained the Hyuga Clan bloodline!]
Aomi reviewed his gains and shook his head.
After obtaining the Eye of the Door Snake, non-organic Kekkeigenkai could be mastered by him at a glance at their structure, without the need for painstaking confrontations.
The ninjas with a significant strength gap with Aomi could only barely contribute a measly amount based on their characteristics.
Like the Uchiha Clan, ninjas without potential needed to be packaged to confront, as a whole clan, to bring Aomi a fairly considerable yield.
However, Hyuga Hizashi was special; his Hyuga bloodline was considered gold coins recognized by Aomi.
But it's not enough; even the ordinary Byakugan didn't interest Aomi much, let alone such a trivial bloodline...
Aomi saw a hint of desire in Hyuga Hizashi's eyes, but it was quickly suppressed by rationality.
This indicated that this Hyuga ninja from the Branch Family had a special thought, but he was still missing the spark to ignite that fire...
"Hyuga Hizashi, Branch Family..."
Aomi smiled, unconcerned with the feud between the Branch and Main Families, but more interested in which group's emotions could be more intense, which could bring him a pair of pure Byakugan.
At the right time, Aomi would be more than happy to help them ignite that desire...
And while Kakashi was wandering aimlessly through the streets of Konoha, lost in the definition of genius,
Shimura Danzo had already set his sights on his father and made a series of arrangements.
At this moment, among the ninjas accompanying Hatake Sakumo to the Hidden Sand Village, there were already two undercover agents from Root...
