Aomi unconsciously tightened his clothes.
He didn't feel cold yet, but Senju Tobirama seemed eager to put the hat and the red Divine Robe on him...
Senju Tobirama seemed to realize he strayed off topic, awkwardly coughing.
After recognizing Aomi's talent and golden heart, Senju Tobirama truly feared Aomi would fall into the vortex of the Will of Fire, like his big brother who believed in that bizarre understanding talk, and forget that wars stem from irreconcilable conflicts of interest.
Back then, Senju Tobirama was frustrated because he couldn't persuade Senju Hashirama from his strange ideas, so he just took advantage of the situation to gain some benefits for Konoha, but still couldn't compete with Hashirama bowing at the Five Kage Summit.
Tobirama really did his best...
Finally meeting Aomi, he couldn't just watch helplessly as his own child became a fool like his big brother...
"Anyway, this matter is very serious, you should just listen to me, Aomi."
"I understand, Tobirama." Aomi agreed with a cheerful smile.
Always, host Aomi performed dedicatedly for the audience lords.
Now, the second brother on the leaderboards was going to personally get on stage for a big performance, such a show-worthy thing, Aomi wanted to enjoy too.
Senju Tobirama pondered, then slowly said:
"First go find Hatake Sakumo, I need to get first-hand information and check his condition before making the next plan."
Aomi nodded: "Got it."
"Brother, where are you going?"
Shisui looked at Aomi slowly getting up, worriedly asking: "Going to find Lord Sakumo?"
"Yes, I need to ask what's going on..."
Aomi patted Shisui's head, softly saying: "Stay home well, this matter is not simple, Shisui."
"When you can understand things clearly, you can graduate."
Shisui's face lit up with joy, his brother finally gave him a chance to graduate!
But after Aomi left, Shisui went to look for Might Duy and Might Guy, trying to brainstorm with the father-son duo full of youth.
"Uncle Duy, what do you think of this matter?"
But Might Duy's response was simple, this youthful beast of Konoha, Mad Duy just scratched his head and laughed:
"Shisui, such a question is too profound for a Genin like me."
"Confidential missions, I've never done in my life, always just finding cats, delivering packages. If it wasn't for Aomi reaching out to me, I couldn't even find teammates for C-rank missions at the time..."
Shisui looked at Might Duy's towering physique, arms seemingly capable of punching through steel, and sighed.
C-rank missions?
Shisui didn't know what Might Duy was like before.
But Shisui did know, Might Duy is a madman who can train in the Lightning Release Chakra Mode with sheer willpower, starting from a tiny current, gradually making the electricity incredibly fierce, always trying to train his own body!
And Shisui also knew, Might Duy had a secret technique said to multiply one's power dramatically in a short time!
In Shisui's view, Might Duy already possessed Jonin-level skills, but his mind was indeed extraordinarily simple...
Might Guy frowned, as if lost in thought: "If I don't save a comrade in front of me, this violates youth too much, doing such a thing, I wouldn't be able to sleep afterwards..."
"But if, like Mr. Sakumo, saving people would impact the village?" Shisui retorted, but was also lost in confusion:
"How do you explain this with the Will of Fire?"
At this moment, the Will of Fire, due to its vague interpretations, finally clashed with the ninja's longstanding adherence to their highest rule of completing missions.
On one side is the ninja's professional code, on the other is the Will of Fire promoted by Konoha...
Konoha Ninja, inherently have to obey these two conflicting iron rules, creating a logical paradox in Hatake Sakumo's case, leading to Shisui and Might Guy's reflection.
Might Duy silently watched the increasingly agonized Shisui and Might Guy, shaking his head.
In his view, many things shouldn't be overthought.
"Guy, Shisui..."
Might Duy slowly spoke: "As a Konoha Ninja, if I were to encounter a situation like Sakumo, I wouldn't know what to do either."
"But if I were on a mission with you, with Aomi, no matter what criticism I might face in the future, I would unhesitatingly use all my strength to stop the enemies for you, that is the answer my youth tells me."
"Sometimes, you don't have to think too much, just follow your heart's youth!"
Might Duy said loudly, giving a thumbs-up to Guy and Shisui: "Today's training isn't over yet, right?"
"Go train hard first, otherwise in the future when encountering danger, you'll just watch your friends make such difficult choices while you can only regretfully cry, that's not youthful at all!"
Shisui and Might Guy, being awakened by Might Duy's words, emerged from their deep thoughts.
Shisui looked at the determined Might Duy, his heart inexplicably throbbing...
Yes, why think so much?
After all, if Aomi were in danger, Shisui would unhesitatingly offer his life, regardless of the circumstances.
Might Guy, scratching his head: "That's right, Father!"
Might Guy's thoughts were the same as his father's.
If you don't even rescue the comrade in front of you, then youth is already meaningless...
Might Duy, looking at the two no longer confused, sighed inwardly, but passionately shouted: "The confusion of youth will be shattered with today's training sweat!"
Shisui, deep in thought, watched the now-energized Might Duy and Might Guy.
The seemingly simple Might Duy, seemingly had a beast-like instinct, always making the right decisions...
And at this moment.
Aomi had also arrived at Hatake Sakumo's home...
