People in Naruto, I'm Aizen

Chapter 2 Moral Benchmarks

Aizen Sosuke, probably the most famous chuunin in Konoha Village, bar none.

There is almost no one in the entire Konoha village who has not heard the name of this gentle and gentle man who likes calligraphy.

He is kind to others and willing to help others. He is always able to explain various truths through the will of fire, help others get out of their knots, and even give new vitality to people who were originally desperate.

Moreover, Aizen has also funded some orphanages and adoption facilities in his own name, and almost all the money spent on missions has been used for these things. Even the donations from girls who admire him or those friends will be taken away from him.

He tried every means to deliver it to the poor people. In order to prevent some accidents, he even delivered it with his own hands.

So even in this dark rainstorm-splashed Konoha, there is a layer of warm light around Aizen.

The ninjas and civilians along the way looked friendly and greeted Aizen when they saw him on the road.

"Hello, Aizen-senpai."

"good afternoon."

"Good afternoon, Aizen-sama!"

"good afternoon."

Elegant and calm, generous and steady, he is good at calligraphy and painting, and he is quite proficient in elegant things. Even the daimyo treats him with great courtesy, which is to the extent that a ninja calls him a pity.

"This is not a good thing, Sandaime-sama. In this case, that emotion will crush him like this rain. He is just a child, and even the ninja regulations should not allow him to treat his father

Be persistent."

After patting the dust off the documents on the ground and placing them again on the desktop or bookshelf, Aizen turned to look at the somewhat disappointed Hokage and said with a gentle smile:

"..."

"……What?"

"No, I want to be his adoptive father. Although I am not old, the First Hokage once said that the lives of children are more important than anything else. I just do what I can."

"Are you planning to make him a benchmark?"

"Hmph, Aizen Sosuke... Hiruzen, please put him here for training. In this ninja world, his character is too naive."

"How could it be, Hokage-sama? You have never made any wrong choices, I know this."

This man, known as the Doctor of Ninjutsu and the most promising Hokage, just smoked his pipe and looked at the heavy rain outside the window, silently watching all this.

"Even when you are facing me, you still maintain your principles. This is what is so valuable about you. You are right, Soyousuke. Did I do something wrong?"

"Ninjas should prioritize their own missions, but they conflict with the will of fire. No matter what choice is made, public opinion will arise. I could have suppressed this turmoil, but I was numb and let it go. I never thought of directly

Force him to death, Sosuke. I never thought about it."

"...How is Hatake Kakashi? Is he still the same?"

This is the true heir to the Will of Fire.

But even with such a huge reputation, he has no ambition at all.

As an old comrade in arms, Danzo Shimura squinted his eyes and realized what his old friend was planning.

No, to a certain extent, the Will of Fire is an extension of his actions.

Looking at the Hokage who seemed to be looking out the window or looking at something else, Aizen sorted out the documents on the desktop and the bookshelf, stood back to his original position with a respectful expression, and held his hands in supplication.

How wonderful this man is.

Just a short while later, from a dark corner that no one knew about in Konoha, a greeting suddenly came from the endless darkness.

In the entire Konoha Village, there weren't even many people who were hostile to him. And Haori, who was dressed in white, was a privilege that only Soyousuke Aizen could have.

An indifferent middle-aged man with a cold expression and wearing a suit of armor similar to the Warring States Period stood beside the Sandaime Hokage with his arms folded. He looked at the door after Aizen left and sneered.

Taking a deep look at his old friend who seemed to have suddenly aged ten years, but was becoming more resolute and determined, Shimura Danzo nodded with satisfaction, turned around, and gradually disappeared into the shadows.

Changing everything around you within your power, this is Aizen Soyousuke.

Along the way, countless ninjas wearing vests nodded and saluted, or greeted him warmly, this man wearing a white feather fabric but covered in mud.

Looking at Aizen, who although there was no Konoha forehead protector, standing there as if he were the incarnation of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"It's just that Kakashi-kun is still young, and I hope to adopt him as an adopted son."

After cleaning up the dirt on his body and washing himself in the bathroom in the Hokage building, he put on clean and tidy pure white fabrics and clothes. Aizen still had that gentle and indifferent smile and pushed away the Hokage.

Office door.

"Hey, Chuunin Aizen, are you going to find the Sandaime?"

"Otherwise, how could I possibly come into contact with the soul of a top ninja without any risk? This is much lower risk than testing Duanjun."

He is not a warm sun that shines on all things. Instead, he is a soft moonlight that enters the hearts of others when everyone is in pain and loneliness, and turns into a bright white moon, making others willingly acknowledge his existence.

"How can you become a talent without suffering? If you don't have the ability to withstand darkness, how can you inherit the position of Hokage?"

"Everything is for the will of fire. Sometimes necessary sacrifices must be made. Sometimes rumors are good intentions, but Sakumo-kun doesn't understand your behavior. This is a tragedy, and I can only

Let this tragedy not expand any further."

"Thank you so much, Soyousuke... I'm really sorry for Hatake Sakumo's death."

The Hokage held his cigarette in his mouth dryly and stared at the black rain outside the window in confusion.

Looking straight into Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, Aizen's expression was very firm.

But the next moment after Aizen left, the shadow in the corner suddenly began to squirm.

"I never forgot."

"I don't intend for him to become Hokage."

"Adopted son? Kakashi?"

But looking at Aizen who was still doing the tidying up work without wavering, he sighed as if he had given up on something.

Looking at the black rainstorm outside, the Hokage sitting in the office chair wearing a bamboo hat couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Slowly exhaling a puff of smoke, the Sandaime Hokage looked at the black rain outside the window, his voice low and decisive.

"This is a much more useful symbol than me, the Hokage. He will become a role model for everyone and call on everyone to learn from him. That's enough."

"Thank you. But don't forget your own affairs, okay?"

"Thank you...I still need you to comfort me."

"consultant?"

"Brother Aizen! Here, the umbrella!"

"Yes. Then I overstepped my bounds."

"Don't show your cowardice, don't let the enemy take advantage of it. You handle the affairs on the Kumo ninja side, and don't let them notice our problems in the short term. I'll handle the problems in the village, and create what Hatake Sakumo actually

It's a fake death, and it's a false appearance to deceive the trust of other villages."

The man sitting behind the Hokage's desk wore the Hokage's bamboo hat and looked quietly at the black rainstorm outside.

"This is my duty, Lord Sandaime Hokage. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"People like Aizen Soyousuke are more suitable for the positions of advisors and elders."

"Sandaime Hokage-sama, I'm back."

"Ah, let's go. I will consider Kakashi's matter."

"Good afternoon, Jounin Sato. Yes, I am about to report to the Sandaime Hokage-sama's office."

Seeing the firm look on his old friend's face, the man in the shadow nodded slowly and said in a deep voice with great satisfaction:

"Yes, Lord Sandaime Hokage."

"Aizen is really a good person. Even being a ninja is a bit too cruel for him. I can't bear to let him come into contact with those things. It will destroy the beauty in many people's hearts."

"It should be so. You are the towering tree, and I am the root in the darkness. Don't forget our oath, Hiruzen."

"Yeah, it's a tragedy... because I never thought he would die."

"..."

Will he be his successor? A chunin-level, specially promoted Hokage?

If so, what would villages in other countries think?

But if not... what would Konoha think?

Looking at the smiling young man in front of him, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly closed his eyes, comparing himself to the sun he had chosen, and already had a plan in mind.

"Don't pollute him with your darkness, Danzo."

Even from the perspective of Sarutobi Hiruzen, a popular Hokage, Aizen Sosuke didn't have the slightest intention to observe those materials, but just silently sorted out those files and files. Those with numbers were classified according to the numbers.

Those without numbers are listed separately and placed where the Hokage can access them at any time.

Looking away from the black rain outside again, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at this twenty-year-old teenager with some surprise.

He is only twenty years old, has no great military exploits, is just a chuunin, and has become the White Moonlight of Konoha Village just by relying on his own conscience and actions.

Facing the Hokage's almost unconditional trust, Aizen bowed deeply, then quickly walked forward and began to sort out the various information and books on the Hokage's desk.

He even has some doubts. Compared with him, I am afraid that everyone will think that Aizen Sosuke is the incarnation of the will of fire. If there is a problem between the two parties, then everyone will definitely think that Aizen is the representative of the will of fire.

The one who wills.

Over the past twenty years, he has watched the growth of this young man. He is innocent, kind, responsible, and not dazzling. He is willing to immerse himself in the pots, pans, firewood, rice, oil and salt of Konoha, but always maintains a consistent heart.

"She refuses to open up to me, and she refuses to communicate with other people. She just keeps her anger to herself."

"You are the Hokage. If the Hokage wants to apologize, then we will panic. Please be sure not to do this."

"Yes. The standard of the will of fire. The standard of morality."

"Just do it. You're done, Danzo. I also have to do some comforting work for the other ninjas in the village. This was a sad accident. Other than that, it's nothing."

"Instead of hesitating, it is better to block it directly... As expected of you, Hiruzen. Well done. But if you hesitate one day and lose the ability to judge, then give up the position of Hokage to someone more capable."

"If you do this, you may be criticized a lot in the village. You are too young. Even if you want to protect him, you only need to make some corrections."

As soon as he heard the word 'father', the man who was smoking dryly paused slightly, and his expression became obviously unhappy.

After a long while, he said to Aizen who was standing there respectfully:

"...Soyousuke? Come and sort it out. I haven't paid much attention to these tasks recently. Could you please help me?"

The Hokage waved his hand, indicating that Aizen could leave.

"I also feel very sorry for Sakuma-kun's death, but it was a choice he made himself, and I can't blame him."

Looking at the Hokage who was sitting at the desk and turned around with a somewhat gloomy expression, Aizen, who was wearing a white haori and sorting books, pushed up his glasses and showed a slightly regretful expression.

Faced with this kind of solicitation, what did Aizen Sosuke do? He just smiled and continued his actions of helping others.

Smiling and touching the little head of the red-faced girl in front of him, Aizen continued to walk towards the Hokage's office.

"..."

After observing this almost artistic processing method for a long time, the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, slowly moved his gaze back to the window.

‘…?’

And this polite man did not rudely climb over the window or knock on the door like other ninjas. Instead, he bowed his hands respectfully, walked backwards to the door, and quietly closed the door.

Those things that could be called secrets were not covered up in front of Aizen and were exposed to him at will. But Aizen had no intention of observing.

"Even if the leaves are burned by fire and only ashes are left, the tiny firelight will illuminate others. I think so."

"...In this state, this is the first time we have met, right? Shuomao-kun. It's really great that you can commit suicide."

"Yeah……"

‘Aizen——!!!’

"Really, really, really, great."

Looking at the light blue soul fragment bound in a glass frame, Aizen Sosuke smiled gently and pushed up his glasses, just like the moonlight.

The timeline between White Fang's suicide and Kakashi's promotion is really confusing. The before and after versions of the anime and manga are different. One moment, it says that Kakashi was already eight years old and a chuunin at this time, and the other moment, he says that Kakashi was still five years old at this time.

I went to school, so I didn’t have classes. Then there was the matter of Kakashi teaming up with others to take the Chuunin exam, so I chose a more compromise and reasonable consideration here. Kakashi is six years old at this time and can graduate early.

He had accepted the position of genin, passed the exam himself, and was planning to give his father some credit on the eve of graduation, when White Fang died in front of him. I hope all readers will forgive me for such a judgment.
