People in Naruto, I'm Aizen

Chapter 19 Watch his actions, don’t listen to his words

Midnight is the time when most people have fallen asleep.

In Konoha Village, due to the nature of its work, the difference between day and night is not particularly obvious.

Just like now, even though it is already midnight, Aizen Sosuke is still in his room processing official documents.

Because it was too late, even the ANBU ninjas had to show up, half-kneeling behind Aizen, and whispered sincerely:

"Advisor Aizen, the Sandaime-sama requires you to maintain a normal life to avoid any accidents. It is already two o'clock in the night, so please pay attention to your health."

"Ah, thank you Sandaime-sama for me. But these documents are urgent, so I'll deal with them first. I'll go to bed then."

"But, Consultant Aizen..."

"It's nothing. It's the eve of the war. Everyone is working hard on the front line, but I delay my work just because I'm sleepy. Isn't this an apology for everyone's dedication?"

"……yes!"

The ANBU ninja looked at Sosuke Aizen who was still carefully reviewing the article in front of him, lowered his head in admiration, and then quietly disappeared into the room.

Aizen Sosuke looked at the pile of documents at hand and sighed. After re-filing the part of the document that had been processed, he placed the other part of the document on the desktop.

The new files once again accumulated into a pile, and Aizen kept fighting on the battlefield composed of files, occasionally stopping the brush, lowering his head to think about some countermeasures, and then stretched out the brush again to make corrections.

"...That ANBU ninja is helping you cover."

"Really? Thank you very much."

Listening to the voice coming from behind, Aizen took the brush and replied without looking back:

"Then, what did you just say? Sakumo-kun? What happened to the touching reunion between your father and son?"

"Talking about tombs."

I also talked about things about you.

Just behind where the ANBU ninja stood just now, a man wearing a white feather fabric was leaning against the wall, looking at the man in front of him with a disappointed look.

Without the tanuki mask, the real Hatake Sakumo came to life again, wearing a white haori with 'Eleven' written on it, looking confusedly at the man in front of him who was approving Konoha documents.

"...Is it because of this that you come to me for answers?"

Sitting in the room correcting documents, Aizen pushed up his glasses and looked behind him at Hatake Sakumo, who had a complicated look on his face.

This man who was once willing to commit suicide for the sake of his reputation and the interests of Konoha was shaken after observing his son for a month.

The reason is of course very simple. Unlike ninjas like Kagami Uchiha and Dan Kato who have reached truly high-level positions, Sakumo Hatake has a huge reputation, but he is essentially just a sharp knife.

This knife was at a loss when faced with the hatred and hostility of others, thinking that death could save everything. But the reality is that death cannot solve any problems, it will only make one's relatives sad and ignorant people laugh.

“It really feels amazing.”

Aizen looked at Hatake Sakumo with a tangled face, and shook his head helplessly.

"The people who once believed in the Will of Fire the most and even risked their lives for it, now come to ask me why I have become like this. The two people who least trust the Will of Fire and want to be the Hokage to explain the village's ideas are asking me

You can't avoid it. What happened to make your state of mind change?"

"..."

"It's because the world in your imagination is not the same as the world you know now. Right?"

Facing Hatake Sakumo who didn't want to talk, Aizen Sosuke turned on the light, while reviewing documents and making suggestions, he said to Hatake Sakumo:

"Others' love for Konoha and resistance to me stem from their bloodline and position. They already have everything, so they will be hostile to me. Then, Sakumo-kun, what are you afraid of and resisting me for?

?”

"...This has nothing to do with our conversation."

"This is the essence of our conversation, Sakumo-kun. Fear, understanding, and the essence of Konoha and the current situation."

Shaking his head in disdain at Hatake Sakumo's evasive statement, Sosuke Aizen splashed ink on the white paper, writing in good words his advocacy for partial reforms in Konoha.

As a Konoha consultant, he is qualified and capable to do this.

Because he is not the kind of consultant who is ignored or promoted temporarily. After a month of testing, Aizen has won the trust of the Sandaime and Danzo, and even promoted him to a high position, allowing the other two partners to

It means to be quieter.

And this man who controlled a large part of Konoha's power was facing away from Hatake Sakumo and calmly expressed his thoughts about the world.

"What you are afraid of is not change or power, you are just afraid of me."

"Because once I want to do something, I'm afraid no one in this world can stop me. I know that too. So now I'm just looking for someone to stop me."

"Sakumo-kun, you must not understand such a world. When you see beautiful flowers, plants and trees, you will find your friends to talk to, and you will feel relaxed both physically and mentally. You want to talk about what you see with your best friend.

beautiful scenery.”

"But unfortunately, you can all find it, but I can't find it. I have been like this since I was a god of death, and it is the same in this world. It's just that I am different from the person I was then. I was like that back then.

He despises all ignorant people, hates all systems, and wants to use his own means to change the world."

"It's just that now, I have a better way. So, I want the world to understand my ideas."

"...You are indeed the most dangerous person, Aizen Soyousuke."

Looking at the man's back under the light, Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but comment.

Let the world understand his ideas, want to change the world, and despise everyone else. Who do you think you are?

So Hatake Sakumo disliked Aizen from the very beginning, because he could see the pride in Aizen's bones at a glance. But Aizen didn't take it seriously.

"There was once a person who commented on me like you, which surprised me at the time. I obviously didn't do anything wrong, why would he think so. Now, I probably understand one thing."

"What's up?"

"Some people are talented."

Putting the finished documents aside, Aizen took out the last batch of documents and began to correct them with a brush while saying:

"They can instinctively piece together the 'truth' in their minds through various clues and language. Just this truth about people will make them feel fearful and repulsive, and then they are unwilling to understand and use hostility to

face."

"But in fact, people like you know it very well. Whether you want to live or die, you must rely on my mercy. This is an absolute 'fact'."

"Although I respect the courage of every human being's choice, I hope you will not abuse my kindness. Otherwise, the scene will become ugly. Sakumo-kun, you don't want your son to see his father like that

What does it look like?”

"..."

Faced with this naked threat, Hatake Sakumo did not speak.

Once regarded as Konoha's top powerhouse above the Sannin, Hatake Sakumo didn't say a word in retort when he looked at the man in front of him who seemed to have his back exposed defenselessly.

Because he knew that although Aizen was a man of different appearances, arrogant and ruthless, most of the time, what he said was true.

He doesn't bother to lie or use meaningless things to cover up his purpose.

But regarding these words thrown out by Aizen, Hatake Sakumo was thinking of his own.

But in fact, compared to his two indignant colleagues, Hatake Sakumo's feelings for Aizen are a bit complicated.

Hatake Sakumo himself is not a particularly pedantic person. He values ​​love and justice, believes in the will of fire, and loves villages. However, compared to those aristocratic families, he hopes that Konoha can become a paradise for children.

Kato Dan is Tsunade's man, and Uchiha Kagami is a member of the Uchiha family. They have reasons and ideas to oppose Aizen's actions and treat Aizen completely as an enemy.

But Hatake Sakumo had no such reason.

He committed suicide, and he came back to life because of Aizen.

In fact, except for Aizen's foul mouth and disgusting person, everything he does is essentially beneficial to Hatake Sakumo himself.

Kakashi was not bullied, nor did he fall into the abyss of hatred. Konoha did not become panicked because of his suicide, but the influence was gradually eliminated under Aizen's control.

Revitalize the economy, strengthen the strength, weaken the influence of the blood inheritance limited family, promote talented and enthusiastic people to the top, and understand the spiritual needs of Konoha's ninjas, and propose a variety of treatment and influence plans to solve the battle for the ninjas

future trouble.

The will of fire, the will of the team, the identity and cohesion of the comrades, and the emergence of the team fund have also greatly eased the overall environment.

Therefore, Hatake Sakumo couldn't fool his own thoughts. He really thought Aizen Sosuke did a good job.

Even from a management perspective, he is already at a level above and below the Hokage.

They should have listened to Aizen, instead of making plans for their own family and the so-called village like now.

Kato Dan's obedience and so-called recognition is because his girlfriend is Senju Tsunade, and their family itself is part of Konoha. And Uchiha Kagami is a big family in Konoha.

After hearing some of Aizen's plans, Kato Dan and Uchiha Kagami would never agree to those things happening.

But for Hatake Sakumo, do those family honors and ideals really mean anything?

Maybe there is, after all, I have dedicated my whole life to him and also my own life.

But facing his son's contempt, the lonely tomb, and the conversations of others in the cold rain, Hatake Sakumo couldn't deceive himself.

Others can abandon the mission for the sake of their companions, saying that it is because of the will of fire, and they will be rewarded. But he cannot. Because he is Konoha White Fang, Hatake Sakumo.

Although he still couldn't accept that people like Aizen were causing trouble in Konoha, but, how should I put it, Hatake Sakumo unexpectedly found that he didn't seem to particularly dislike this.

He had no real reason to unleash murderous intent and hostility towards Aizen.

"It seems that you have realized it. What you hate is not the changes I have brought about, nor the changes I have brought about. You are just afraid of me."

Looking at the silent figure behind him, Aizen smiled, pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, sorted and filed the documents in his hands, and said seriously:

"You are afraid of me because I have mastered power and wisdom far beyond your imagination. However, you don't know what kind of person I am. And people are wary of the unknown, so you are also afraid of me.

Full of vigilance.”

"People will always rely on familiar things and familiar experiences, and reject unfamiliar people and methods. Even if they know that what they keep is wrong, they are still willing to continue and don't want to see anything new.

Things appear in front of your eyes. Because that means unknown risks."

"So, your concerns and thoughts all come from here. You are familiar with Konoha and the Will of Fire. But are you really familiar with him?"

"Cognition and ideas have interfered with your attitude as a person. Now, you can try to find a new angle to look at it all."

"..."

This sentence is a bit confusing for Hatake Sakumo, who is not very knowledgeable in literature.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Aizen and asked tentatively:

"Are you saying that all my current troubles are due to my incomprehension of them and Konoha?"

"I think you should use your own eyes to see clearly what Konoha is like, so that you can have a deeper understanding. Not from the perspective of Konoha White Fang, but from the perspective of Hatake Kakashi's father. I

I’m looking forward to your thoughts.”

Looking at the thoughtful Hatake Sakumo, Aizen smiled and nodded.
